[Q] hard reset - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have a problem....my sd card not detect on pc..any suggestion can hard reset my sd card??by the way how to backup data on device storage??

What do you mean that your "sd card not detect on pc"?
If your PC cannot access the SD card via USB connection to your phone while you are still able to access it on your phone, check that your X1's USB mode is set to "Disk Drive/File Transfer/Mass Storage" under Settings>Connections> USB to PC
If it cannot be detected on your X1 but can be detected if you were to directly plug your SD card into a card reader in your PC, blow into the SD slod on your phone.
If your SD card can be detected by the PC which prompts you to format it, it probably got corrupted and you need recovery tools like Recuva to recover the content. If it can be detected by either, it's probably dead.

[Q] External SD card not visible on PC Voodoo-stable-5.1-Froyo-2.2.1

Hello,
I can not see the external sd card on my windows PC.
I can see the internal sd card as a drive and i have read write access on my win PC (XP/ prof and win7 prof)
I can see the external sd card as a drive but cannot see any files or folders.
connected USB cabel
select mass storage device
not possible to connect USB to PC via dialog (no notification is vissible in notification bar)
reconnect usb cable
Now it is possibel to connect USB to PC via upcoming dialog on phoneselect mass storage device Message box comes up telling that some apps may not work because they have access to sd card
After disconnecting the phone from PC I cannot access the external SD card on my phone until reboot of phone.
I can access the the external sd card using a card reader on my PC.
I think I got these problems since flashing Voodoo-stable-5.1-Froyo-2.2.1-GT-I9000
Firmware Version 2.2
Baseband I9000XXJPP
Kernel 2.6.32.9
I tried to format the sd card with the phone - no changes.
Best regards and thanks in advance O
I have the exact same problem, when I connect with usb cable to my win 7 x64 system using the mass storage option, at first I do not connect at all, then I have to remove the usb cable once, after that I can connect but only see the sd card on the phone itself, the external sd card is invisible.
When I remove the usb cable I am also unable to see the external sd card on the phone itself and I have to restart my phone in order to see it again.
My proplem is solved. By error I installed the voodoo 5.1. on Froyo 2.2 . But it should have been installed on Froyo 2.2.1 as mentioned in the filename of the zip file. I thought froyo 2.2.1 is included in the voodoo update.

pulling battery... external SD corrupted?

I made the mistake when my phone froze today to pull out the battery, instead of waiting for an automatic reboot. Now my phone complains that my external SD card has an invalid filesystem, or is blank... when i press that notification i get the option to format the SDcard, but i just moved all my applications to my SDcard 3 days ago, which would make me lose everything.
Is there a way to recover it without losing all its content?
I've tries a micro SD cardreader for my computer, but either the cardreader is broken, or my computer doesnt recognise the card at all...

In that case NO but a format may recover the card though it could wipe all data .

And computer cant recognize the files either?
Then I'm pretty sure there's nothing to do.
so far ive found out that my laptop sees the card, but i cant access the files on it. it looks like the filesystem got corrupted or wiped or something, because looking at the properties of the card it sais: filesystem: none.
i found out about testdisk, and will try that out overnight. its a 16 GB card, so that is going to take a while.
Recuva free ware may be worth trying to recover files if card can be seen

Mass storage not working

When pressing enable mass storage on the phone, or going in recovery and doing it that way, it doesn't seem to want to connect
It worked before I messed with the partions on my SD card, so i wounder what I did to break it?
My phone can read my SD card, and if i use a MicroSD to USB then it works, but not phone to computer, it makes a beep beep sound, so i know it sees it.
Thanks
test to format SD card in computer if this don't work test your phone with another SD card
After formatting the card it started working again Thanks!

External sd card cant be detected

Hi guys,
My external sd card suddenly cant be detected by both my phone and my computer
I tried flashing to many different roms and still no hope
Any suggestion please? :crying:
Thanks!
Connect your SD card via card reader to PC and try format it. If you don't see files or PC don't see this card - it can be damaged.
Card reader u mean the card adapter? i don have 1 of those
and when i connect my phone along with the external sd in it
the phone recognizes it as removable disk H but i was not able to open it
does this mean its not damaged?

The file system (partition) on SD card is broken - you need format SD card

Any other method to actually format it without the card adapter?
The easiest way is connect card via card adapter to PC and check that card and files are visible. If card is recognized but you can't access to it you need format it.
You also can do this in your own phone: in settings - memory - try disconnect external SD card and then erase/format external SD card.

formating/erasing options depends on which rom you use.
When you connect phone with PC and tap mount SD card (or something like that) on phone screen, you should see card on PC - can you see it? You write that it has assigned drive letter H - right click on that and format it.
I tried that it says "theres no disc in drive H:" Please insert a disc and try again
try mount SD card with and without USB debuging.
try format SD card via recovery
If you have different SD card try it to eliminate ROM/settings problem.
i cant erase my external sd because its not detected
the recovery cant mount it because the external sd is not found
trying with and without debugging also didnt work oh my god
i don really understand the last option though
"If you have different SD card try it to eliminate ROM/settings problem."
In your case there are two posibilites:
1) sd card is damaged - logically (file system/partition) or physically
2) phone is damaged - logically (ROM bug/phone settings) or physically
If you put other SD card in your phone and phone will see it and you will have access to files from that SD card you can be shure that phone is ok

Can't read my SD card over USB connection to PC (Win 8.1)

When I connect my 4s (EU) to my PC, it detects the SD card (128GB Kingston or 64GB, both tried exFat and FAT32 formatted), but when opening the contents, it says there's nothing on it, while it has over 40 gb of data on it...!
What's going on? The card is up to spec!?!
The phone's own memory is shown correctly and I can access all maps. The SD card however is detected, but not accessible.
The only files I can see are the ones I copy from PC to phone's sd card over USB connection. But I want to copy photos and videos from phone to PC.....
I already tried uninstalling the Alcatel Idol 4s driver, and reconnected to get this phone mounted again, and the result is the same.
Anyone have this too? Fix?
PS: I've tried FAT32 formatting as well as ExFAT, both cases the PC detects the card, even tells me how much space is available, but shows NO contents and tells me the map is EMPTY!?!?!
Do you try usb debugging? Is ur phone locked when you connect it to pc?
