I bought a new 16 gb hc micro sd card from ebay - it arrived today - and I transferred all my data off of my 4gb hc card on to it after formatting the new card on my computer...
Several hours later I notice my phone was off and would not power on normally - so I went into recovery mode and tried to nandroid back to fix this - however - none of the backups would load properly.
I ended up putting in my old sd card and was able to use nandroid back up successfully -
I can't imagine that the nandroid back ups stored on my old sd card would not be ok on the new card ?
I decided to format the new sd card again and then put it in my phone and partition it using rom manager -
then copied all my files back onto it -
When I load my old card everything is fine - when I load my new one it gets stuck on 'checking sd card for errors'
for a while the new card worked perfectly --
being new here, I dont know if i have a defective card of if I just missed something I need to do ?
Thanks guys!

Did you try reformatting the new card from the phone?
If that doesn't work sounds like a corrupted card.
I am trying to - it seems like it doesnt want to recognize programs - i tried going into settings and then sd card and phone memory - all i get is a blank screen - but its OK with my old card -
Although, I am trying something different this time -
Still unable to format it through my phone, I formatted it again with my computer and put it in - and it seemed to be stable -
Last time, I took all the data off my old card and stored it onto a folder on my desktop - then transferred it to the sd card i connected to my computer - this time around, now that it is stable, I am transferring the data to my new card via having my phone connected to the computer as usb storage -
I have a hard time believing that not doing this in the first place is what caused the problem, but its 2 am, im wide awake - and its worth a shot - any thoughts ?
I bought a new 8gb card at best buy today to see what would happen - its a 6, so it should be nice and fast - and I loaded it and it is working beautifully - so - yes, it was the card - hopefully this helps someone else out!
can i know wat class memory card u using now ?

His last post said that he's currently using a class 6 card, 8GB size.
But try to understand that whatever the OP's problem was, the particular class of card he was using had nothing to do with it. I've been running a class 2 16GB card for months now with no problem at all. His card was just bad, plain and simple.
He didn't say where he got the card, but one thing to keep in mind is that there are some unscrupulous vendors on eBay, and some cards marked as Sandisk are actually cheap Chinese fakes that aren't even the size they're claimed to be, let alone the brand. I'm not sayin' that's what happened, but if the price seems too good to be true, there's a good chance it's a fake, and that's especially true with sd cards.
Yeah - I had gotten if off of eBay - they had 5 going for 32 bucks on a 'buy it now' price - so I grabbed one - however, they did accept it as a return, I just had to pay 6 bucks for shipping - and I made sure to get delivery confirmation so if there is a problem, paypal will be on my side -

Damn, I would have refused to pay return shipping and just filed a complaint with PayPal or eBay if they had forced me to do so!
Yeah - I am doing that already, I sent in a dispute with paypal already - I just had to pay for it initially otherwise the post office obv would not mail it -
Thanks though!

Hi guys, this happend today. My vario III suddenly can't find the memory card and my pc won't open it when I use card reader as well. All I can think of is I was using the card to transfer data between PCs yesterday several times and my PC won't read it at alst, but it worked ok with my Vario II(kaiser).
Help Please! How can I bring my card back??
Sorry, forget to mention that it a 8G Sandisk card.
I just posted the same problem and I also have a 8 GB from sandisk.
try to use the original SD card, see what happens..
My kaiser couldn't find it either..
I already contacted HTC customer service (an hour ago)
..
Edit:
I have a dutch T-Mobile MDA Vario with the original firmware.
Also a hard-reset doesnt help.
thanks a lot. I am waiting for your reply.
Hi
I had encountered similar problem before. My 8GB card was not detectable in my TytnII and shows empty in my laptop.
What I did is use the freeware program ""PC Inspector File Recovery" to recover all the loss files. What I believe is that the file table or something like that is corrupt but all files are still in card. DO NOT copy new files to the card if you intend to recover files from your card.
Thanks very much, I will give it a try now. keep finger crossed.
How does that happen? any ideas?
I have made a poll to see how many Kaisers have the same problem.

Cheap 8GB microSD cards usually are not true SDHC. They are a 4GB card reformatted to 8GB so the directory shows up that capacity but no data can be loaded to the extent of its capacity.
Buy another one, this time from a trusted seller and move on.
For the record, the card I got is original sandisk card.
Actually it happened once before for my 2GB sandisk card on hw6515. Am not sure if the corruption got anything to do with activesync as there there is no way to remove the sync other than directly unpluging the set from the laptop.
Unlike thumbdrive where we can select the option of removing thumbdrive.

How do you explain that my Kaiser also didn't read the original SD card? What do you advise as being a 'trusted seller'? The Sd card was cheap indeed..

Hi guys, I tried PC Inspector File Recovery and got the data I wanted back(there was 5~6 G on it but I only needed 2 M). My card come with N95 old version from O2 in UK, so I think it is a genuine branded sandisk card. After retrieving the data I tried to format my card and my PC allowed me to do that(it was impossible before I use PC Inspector), but after 5 mins it told me that windows can not format the card.
Anyway, I got the data back although the card is still dead.
Thanks a lot guys!
My 8G card would cost 50 pounds+ in the high street shops, don't understand why you guys say it's cheap....

Worst yet, you got a fake 8GB with the cost of a good one.
Why did you not try to get a replacement? High street shops will exchange it easily.

Have a card that is readable/writable/formattable on PC but does not even show up on the HTC. Any ideas?
bump
bumping thread because I am having the same issue. Few days ago my card slot died, tried many cards which all work on pc but dont come up on my tilt. I noticed theres a change in ram .03mb when I insert the card but if i go to storage memory in settings it will state not installed. Also inserting the card would bring the phone out of standby. I am guessing its a hardware issue and that theres a different switch or something that tells the phone that a card is in which is why it comes out of standby but the part that actually reads the card doesnt work, probably a loose wire or something. Can anyone post who has experience taking the kaiser apart, I am a hands on guy who wouldn't mind taking it apart to see what could be the problem.
p.s I also flashed roms/radios since this issue and that did not resolve it.
Wow. I'm also bumping because I have this same problem! Borys hit the nail on the head.
I've discovered the Kaiser is very intolerant of FAT filesystems with issues. I've had mine twice see the card, but no contents, even though it looked fine on my laptop.
I ran a filesystem check on it and both times it found some minor errors, and then it was fine.
No need for any special utilities, just run a disk check in Windows, fsck.vfat in Linux, etc..

I am using a micro sd hc by kingston 8gb. I have been using this sd card for over a month now with now problems using about .5gb of space. I took my battery out of my tilt while powered on to reset the phone. Now the phone is reset fine and running but it says theres no sd card! I go to settings, memory, storage card and it says not installed. I took out the card put it back in several times no difference. I have an older sd card thats 1gb that i put into my phone and it reads it just fine. I then put the 8gb card back in and says not installed, what the hell? I also tried putting the 8gb storage card in my 8525 and it says not installed. Did my memory card die for some reason some how? Ive never heard of this and never had any problems with an sd card and ive been using them for years. Ive never played with the sd card, once i put it in the phone it stays there and i never take it out. Did maybe resetting the phone by taking the battery out while powered on somehow kill the sd card? Ive done this before with no ill effects. I dont understand, please help anyone. Hate to lose all the info and everything i have stored on my 8gb storage card. Thank you!
did u try to access it on a pc? if you success, move the contents to the pc, and format it, and then move the contents back.

No, my ghetto pc doesnt have a slot for the card. Need to get a usb slot thing for it but i really need this card working now. Doesnt make sense what would case this all of a sudden. Only thing i can think of his taking the battery out.
I think ive really tried everything except the pc method but dont think thats gonna work either. I put the sd card in my 8525 and had the same problem so its not just my tilt, its the card itself. I put an old 1gb card in my tilt and it read it just fine, same with my 8525. Im really stuck here guys and need help, i already contacted kingston tech since they offer a lifetime warrenty even though i got it free but what the hell? Some of the stuff on that card is really not replaceable, really need it. Thanks.

Chances are you need to format the card in a PC as fat32 and try it back on the kaiser. Go to Staples/BestBuy/Walmart and go get a 10$ usb microsdhc card reader. I have one and it works great. I got the Mobilemate Micro Reader and I wont go without it now.
I went to radio shack and for the same price I got one that will read eight types of cards, nifty tool to have around, it can read multiple cards at once

Oh yeah? Well mine is the size of your pinky fingernail when plugged in so HA
Having a micro reader around attached to my keyring ( With my old 4gb card in it ) is nice when im copying random files accross multiple computers. For work i can DL the file using Opera ( Drivers ) and simply pop my micro reader into the PC

Thats great guys but i need the info on the card that is irreplaceable. I could care less about the card, i get em for free. I really just need the files on the card to be recovered but my phone is having this problem and even my 8525 is having the problem with this card too. I ordered a keychain usb thing like what u got from cellphoneshop.net for like $6. Im assuming though if my tilt and 8525 cant read o reconize the card than either will my computer once plugged in. Unless the computer does something my 2 phones dont do to recover the files, i dont know since ive nver had an issue with an sd card before. I really need to recover the files then ill worry about the sd card working again or i could get another no problem but need the files back. What would case this problem, i dont get it? Did taking out my battery wile phone was powered on cause this and make a short erasing the card or something? I have takin the battery out of my phone numerous times while powered on and never had any problems before. How can i recover the files? Thanks!
Your going to have to research some file-recovery tools and try some of those, or send your card to one of those (expensive) places that perform file recovery.
Good luck.
/I feel your pain -- I once lost everything on a 1-gig card. Now, of course, i do regular backups.

Well before i had a 1gb card for over a year with my 8525 and my tilt with zero problems. I just got this 8gb card (really dont need one that high, just got it cus) about a month ago and still worked fine like the first one in my tilt. I actually used the dang sd card as my backup for files on my comp since my ghetto walmart computer likes to crash all the time. Now im screwed! What would i google or search for a file recovery program for my sd card? Worst comes to worst ima send it back to kingston since they have a lifetime warranty and tell them i need my damn files back and see if they will do it. Still waiting a response from their tech unit. Ive also searched this problem here on xda to see similar problems but no solutions. Theres gotta be a way, any ideas guys? Thank you!

How are these programs expensive? I just googled "sd card file recovery" and got tons of pages of freeware apps that recover. Problem here is it wont work with my sd card in my tilt and my tilt connected via usb activesync. It will check your computer or anything via usb but doesnt find or show my phone as a device for some reason. Stupid me didn't think about just stoppin by the store and picking up one of those sd flash usb things and instead ordered one online. Id hate to have to wasted another $10 and get one tomorrow then ill have 2. Any other ideas guys? I found this one to look pretty cool if anyone needs an app for this, http://data-recovery-professional.com/?k=Sd Card Data Recovery It seems to be freeware since i didnt see anything about paying and doesnt say register or anything like that while running the program. Check it out. Any other ideas though? Id really like to get to the bottom of this and find out how the hell this all happened in the first place? Thanks!
This site also seems to have some legit freeware programs for this too! http://www.pcinspector.de/Sites/task_manager/download.htm?language=1#
Yeah guys, i think im royally screwed now. I remembered i have a digital camera so i put in my sd card into the adapter so it would fit into my digital camera, then i could connect the camera via usb as a mass storage device then use the freeware program to get my files back, sounds great right? Well after i put in the card the camera displays "Card Error" and connecting via usb the computer doesnt display the storage device, probably because the card is screwed. Did i fry my sd card somehow in my tilt? I really cant think of how to fix this now. Ill get a sd card reader that plugs into the usb and try that but my digital camera i think is doing the same thing. Ill probably just get the same "card error" after plugging my sd card into the usb adapter. What do you guys think?

card reader + file recovery software is the way to go
also, work slowly, don't panic, and don't attempt to write anything on your card if you got it to work until you pull all your data off of it with the file recovery software.
even if you somehow could format it, the file recovery software could still retrieve some of your files, so, again don't panic, unless the card circuitry is just fried, there is hope

My 8525 doesnt show it when i put it in, my digital camera says card error and doesn read how, how will a card reader read it if none of these other devices will? I tried using my digital camera as a card reader but nothing comes up. Tech support from kingston emailed me bck just saying that warranty echange is going to contact me and send me a new card. I just emailed them back saying i could care less about the card but need the files! Hopefully i can send my card in and they can recover the files and mal them back on a fresh card. Until then, ima try to get a card reader today or tomorrow and try i out.

Im assuming you are using the SAME MicroSD to SD card adapter when swapping between your cam and phone. Make sure you are buying a card reader that will work WITHOUT an adapter. It MUST take microSDHC and read it without the use of any other device. Ive had issues with 3 sd to microsd adapters already. All 4 of my Microsdhc cards work great even though i had the issue of not being readable in the phones.

That reader doesnt show microSDHC as a compatible card ..... not too sure if its going to work......
Here is the exact one im using and have been using it for months. Works wonderfully I keep my old 4gb card in it when its on my keyring and swap my 8gb card to move files to my kaiser.
Twice in the last two months my 16 GB Class 6 AData microSDHC memory card has popped up as being "corrupt" and needed reformatting after powering back up from reboot on my Nexus One.
The first time happened on CM 5.0.3.1, the second time was with CM 5.0.4.1 with the UV kernel. Both times, data could not be read either through the N1, my old G1, or my friend's Droid. Thus a reformat was required and data loss ensued.
Anyone else experiencing occasional data corruption on their SD card? Another friend had it happen to his G1 with an 8 GB microSDHC memory card recently, running the latest CM for the G1, also on reboot and battery swap.
Is there a common thread here? Could it be HTC hardware-related? CM software-related? Just coincidentally two bad memory cards? Me using chinese replacement batteries when swapping out? The UV kernel? Not trying to point fingers or throw stones, just trying to get to the bottom of this...just lost some great pics of a recent vacation I just got back from. Suggestions or hints are welcome!
TIA!
this has happened to me a few times but I was still able to get my data through amon-ra recovery. I think it have something to do with an improper dismount of the card.
I'm curious, what brand of memory were your friends using?
I actually had this happen when my n1 was still stock (16gb class6 card)
I put the sd card in a card reader on my pc, everything was intact so I backed it up, reformatted and still had the n1 report it was corrupt. I ended up having to shut down, remove card, boot up w/o a sd card in, then with the sd card back in I never had the problem again
I know I did a full format the very first time, that 2nd time I had done a quick format. I've done a format recently also via amonra for ext partition and still no problems.
I happend to me few weeks ago. After turned it on ... I couldn't do anything because the screen was black and any key or type of touch was useful ... so I removed the battery and at the next start the SD wasn't readable anymore!
sry 4 my bad english!
erikikaz:
i'm running a 16 GD Class 6 AData memcard in my N1, my friend is running an 8 GB class 6 SanDisk memcard in his G1. Neither of us is running Apps2SD or anything weird.
glad to see i'm not the only one with this issue. was gonna buy a new 16 GB card but saw an article yesterday that sandisk is coming out with a 32 GB class 6 sdhc card in a month so i'll just wait for that one.
Same here
Same thing has happened three times on my Sandisk 16gb. I am running stock everything on nexus..nothing funky app wise.
After the first time it happened I replaced the sd card. It still happens. I have never been able to fix the card other than reformating. Chkdsk /f on win7 gets to 98% then throws an i/o error.
There is something majorly wrong. It seems that it happens in all android phones from time to time not just the nexus one. The consensus online seems to be that it is a mount/dismount issue that corrupts the card. I never mounted or dismounted the card at all with PC and it still happens so not sure what else it could be.
Do you think it is a phone hardware issue that would resolve with a new handset?
Has this ever happened to anybody using the standard 4GB card?
Where did you purchase your micro SD cards? There are a lot of fake/faulty cards being sold. I bought a fake one (unknowingly, obviously) and it kept getting corrupted until I tested it properly using h2testw.
I have the same problem on my nexus! I use an LG 16GB Card and CyanogenMod-5.0.5.3-N1! Any way of recovering the data without amon-ra?

+1 Make sure you dismount from computer first...otherwise this problem will pop up again...and may not be correctable next time. (There's a reason why the phone asks you to properly dismount from computer first)
no **** my n1 has the error message damaged sd card. restarted the phone a couple times and same message. what should i do? i see peoples solutions on this thread but idk where to start. i have a rooted n1 running cyan 5053 with apps2sd
I have had this problem a couple of times too, the latest being this morning
I have a stock N1 with a 16GB Sandisk card. The first time this happened, i went to use the camera and it said insert SD card, even though there was one there, I rebooted the phone and then got the Damaged SD card message.
This morning I was on the train, had been using the phone to read the news earlier with no problems, I got it out of my pocket and screen was black. and the phone completely unresponsive. Removed and replaced battery, booted up and got the Damaged sd card message again.
Both times I have been able to recover most of my files by putting the card in a PC, the first time I found that a couple of my photos were corrupted and unrecoverable, indicating that possibly it was the camera app that may have caused the issue the first time.
This time though, I found that some of my music tracks were corrupted along with one of my videos, and also a directory on the SD called LOST.DIR. Everything else was fine.
Not sure why only these files were affected, as I was not listening to music or watching any videos, so I dont see why the nexus one should have been accessing those parts of the card when it corrupted.
I could not delete the corrupted files, even on my PC, accessing them causes the PC to lock up. The only way to get card working again seems to be a format.
If only the format would work!

Roman
Just happened to me as well. Genuine 8gb Sandisk, class 4.
After a reboot Nexus reports corrupted card. It really seems corrupted, I'm unable to read it in a PC or anything else:
[ 1042.673542] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdb] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE
[ 1042.673551] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdb] Sense Key : Medium Error [current]
[ 1042.673561] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdb] Add. Sense: Unrecovered read error
[ 1042.673571] end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 10248
I'm using CM 5.0.4.1 with UV kernel.
It's happened to me, even using the "safely remove hardware" function on the pc. i started just using the unmount on the phone which seemed less problematic.
Yep...add me to the list. Running stock N1 was playing music when it ocurred it started skipping through the tracks fast right before it stopped. It has affected/removed all my pics and left the music.
I'm with you all:
2 times on my Motorola Milestone, using a 16GB class 4 "unbranded" card
3 times on my Nexus, using that same 16GB class 4 card.
2 times on my Nexus, with a 16GB class 6 SanDisk card.
Most times, the data has been available by mounting the card into a PC or Mac directly, though my Mac has seen the card as "read-only" in these cases.
I seem to have this problem after mounting the card onto my work PC, though I don't often do that. I mostly use ADB to copy files. Maybe it is linked to leaving the debugging interface up all the time? I do that and I'm sure that most of you do as well...
Me too
I am using FRF91 MRCr21 and I am on a 800mv 070810 .35 rc4 kernel. Newest 5.00.08.04 radio.
Twice now after using quickboot my phone has reported my SD card damaged and it says I will have to reformat. It is a 8gb class 2 sandisk, real. One time I used quickboot to enter recovery mode and the other was only to reboot the phone. Has anyone else had this problem? What is the best fix? Both times I rebooted my phone was stable. I wasn't downloading or installing anything. Thanks!
My phone can't read the card. If I pull the card and put it directly in my computer it won't read either. Both OS can't read the file system and want me to reformat.
Neither happened due to not dismounting. Anyone correlate the problem with quickboot?
have had zero luck with adata 16GB classs 6 cards. i have gone through 2 of them however their 8 GB card has been awesome
Just had this with a Sandisk 16GB Class 2 card. Inserted into card reader, copied something, popped it back into the phone, corrupt card message. Even the computer says I have to format it.
I hope you guys can help me with the following problem.
I have bought a 16gb MicroSD card (it says it's class 4) from eBay. I copied the files from my old 8gb card to my PC and from there copied the files onto the 16gb card (I put it in an SD adapter and into a USB-stick/adapter and plugged it into a USB port on my computer).
The copying seemed to go well. But when I put the card in my HD2 it can't find the files it's supposed to find. When I put the card back in the USB stick most of the files are replaced by one with a strange code, so all the files I had copied seem to be gone.
I checked if the card was actually 16gb and it was.
Any suggestions for what might cause this problem?

Two possibilities.
1: "most of the files are replaced by one with a strange code" = You're in the Matrix, agents are coming, RUN
2: You have a dodgy card or a dodgy card adapter.
Format the card, copy files one at a time via active sync. If that doesn't work it's a dodgy card.
i don't want to open another topic... i'm about to buy a 16gb card... what should i look for?... i want something to sustain long video shots... that's why i go 16gb...
so... anyone has a recomandation as in brand or technical details....?
Hi
In my experience when you copy files to any memory stick or card and they become garbage text and can not be found by your device or pc it means it is a fake card and not the stated size. SEND IT BACK !!!
If its cheap its bound to be fake!!
There is a tool online to test memory cards and usb flash drive to prove if they are fake and can hold the amount of data stated.

Hi, that's what I thought at first, but I used such a tool (I may haven't used it the right way though, should check this out again) and it said it actually is 16 gb. If it keeps giving errors it may be fake, I knew the risk when buying the card (it was cheap, but didn't buy it with Buy It Now, just by bidding). We'll seee what happens, if it keeps giving the errors, I may wait until the 32gb is released.
Ok, I've tested the card and it turns out it's defective. So I'm going to ask for a refund. New and more trustworthy 16 gb card already ordered (still a bit cheaper than the soon-to-arrive 32 gb ).
Here's the story and info.
I got the Blu R1 HD (prime special) went down to Target and bought thier DANE 64GB CL10 MicroSD for $20. Plugged it in and formatted it as internal storage. (A cautionary not then said, "if formatted as internal memory SD card will ONLY work in this device) I chose, who cares and continued.
Worked great for a day or two ... but then it happened ... it went missing! All the apps and data was gone. A notification popped up and said, "Transcendent SD card missing. reinsert this device". I did as the all knowing phone asked but to no avail, it wouldn't recognize it.
I rebooted the phone and a massage popped up saying "system properties not responding. Wait or Quit" I've tried both options, doesn't seem to make a difference.
I tried reformatting it in the phone and it wouldn't unmount. Tried on our computers (both pc and Mac) and neither computers were allowed access to the sd card to reformat it.
I then returned the sd card thinking that it might be flawed, got another one from Target and it worked great ... for about two weeks... Then went missing.
Did everything mentioned above. Got the new one and it worked for 4 weeks, thought my problems were over ... then the SD card ran away again and is now currently missing. The phone does not recognize that there is a sd card when looking for it in a file explorer. In settings it says the sd card is corrupted.
Is my phone messed up? I'd it the brand of SD card? Is there a way to make the phone recognize the sd card?
Please help me find my missing sd card.
Same problem, SD Card is showing as corrupted. I have it installed as internal storage and have for over a month with no problems. SD is a Patriot LX 64gb. I haven't changed anything on the phone. I have not fine anything but reseat the SD. Any help is massively appreciated!
Maybe the problem is using a 64GB MicroSD Card. The phone specs say it's supports up to 32GB only.

That is incorrect it supports 64GB SD, many report success with 128GB cards, so I doubt its an issue with size...

Is good to know I'm not the only one!
Have you been able to reformat the sd card? Or will it not allow you to do so?

I have not tried, I'm clinging to hope I might be able to salvage my pictures.

Okay I caved and tried to reformat it, and all it does is fail, or drops off half-way as though I had removed the card. If I try to put the card in my computer or any other device it just straight doesn't exist, doesn't even say it isn't compatible or anything, just straight doesn't exist. Think the card is just bad, gonna return it and get a new one, will see what happens.
I have had a SANDISK Micro SDXC UHS-1 64GB CARD in mine for almost 5 months now and no issues.
I see I'm not the only one with this issue, although mine is a little different... I got a generic 128gb card and plugged it in, has been issue free for months... BUT, lately and for what seems like no apparent reason, the card guess missing... Rebooting the phone sees the card again with all apps and photos intact. It could be weeks/days/hours/minutes before it happens again... Shortest turn around - about 10 minutes. Longest - about 2 weeks... Haven't tried plugging the card directly into my computer yet, but when it is mounted on the phone it works fine (until it goes missing). Thought maybe it was because it was a cheap card...
