Hello everyone!
So here is my problem: my milestone don't read sd card. Week ago it was happening just occasionaly and I had to reset mobile one or few times to get it back to working but now it's useless. The problem is that other devices can normally see sd card, pc also see it normally and can write/read on it.
I've already tried everything that got on my mind but it did nothing.
Here is what I've already done:
- clean up those connecting parts on sd card with some soft material
- did the same to those parts in mobile but with an air
- flashed to 2.1 stock (I was using CyanogenMod 6 before)
- tried flashing to 2.0 but just couldn't so I abandoned this idea
- now I flashed it to got 2.2.1 but it's still the same
- formating sd card on pc
I'm just going out of my mind, don't have any idea what to do.
Hope you'll help me.
Regards,
Felven
Try formatting the card using the phone.

Did that, just forgot to write down. Didn't help at all. Do you think sending to repair-service will be needed?
Test with another SD card, if it works, throw that one away
I had that issue before. You can try my method - this MAY work (it worked for me).
Get a card reader and connect it to your computer.
If your computer is able to read the card - then there are still hope.
FULL FORMAT your card via your computer, I mean full format, the slow one.. not quick format.
After that, try reading it on your phone, hopefully it works.

Hi
I have 2 gb micro sd card and I want to format it using Resco file explorer. But it keeps telling me to check to see if its unlocked.
I use to be able to format without a problem. But i have recently started to flash roms. I can put stop and take stuff without a problem. Just won't let me format.
I also tried formatting using my laptop, but won't work.
EDIT: Sorry, wrong place. Wanted to post this in general Kaiser forum.
Is the little write protect tab on the side of the sd card in the right position??
i moved it off the lock position and nothing? my comp won't even let me right click it. when I click to open it, says needs to be formatted and when i click format PC says it can't be formatted.
I searched on here, but no thread about this type of problem. card isn't ruined because i can still add and delete stuff.
I never experience this issue .. quite confusing.
However, this should be posted in General forum, not ROM Development. Mod, please move as such ..

Could be a problem with the card / slot connectors. Try with some other card reader.
I had an issue once where I couldn't format my card - I had no lock errors though, just couldn't format through the PC or with PPC programs.
Eventually I installed 'Flash Format' by CNetX (google it) - it formatted first time on the free evaluation version.
Worth a try if you're about to bin it!
Good luck.

You sir are a genius and a life-saver!
This product is a magical potion for the microSD card. I tried so many different things online, on the laptop, and the Kaiser and none worked. This thing took less than a minute and formatted with the click of one button.
Mods, please move this thread. Hopefully it can help others who might have this problem in the future.
Thank you very much sir!
Glad it worked - it's very strange that this little program seems to be able to sort the issues that even the premium programs can't....
So I rooted my brothers g1 a few months ago and everything was great except that it could not connect to pc via usb. I told him not to worry about it but then he wanted to put music on his phone. He was messing around with the phone and he says he formatted something and now he has lost the ability to access the market as well as other apps he downloaded. For the life of him he cannot tell me what he did. So I check the sd card via card reader and I see that signed cyanogen mod (4.2.2.etc) is still there as well as other files. So I have no clue what he did and now the phone won't recognize the sd card even though its loaded and I can't flash him another rom so he can get the market back. Does anyone have a clue on what I should do???? Please help!!!!!!!
also tried other sd cards formatted to fat32 and fat with no luck.
i guess you gotta try a sd adapter, and put the files on there, as for the market app, looks like he needs to reflash the 1.6 firmware, and then reflash cyanogen if its the market apps, and google apps you are referring to.
This is a prime example of why you should never root someone else's phone if they don't know how to do it themselves. With great power comes great idiocy.

He probably formatted the ext partition. You may want to re-partition the card and reboot and see if it will pick everything back up. You may also need to start over.
When done, make a bart backup and tell him never format anything.
Thanks fort the advice guys. I'm gonna try to re partition the card. If I have to start over can I wipe to factory settings and will it return to the original firmware? if so I may do just that. In any case thanks for the input guys , love this forum.
Ok so I wiped the phone and got the market back. All the apps that he downloaded are in the downloaded section so no worries there.
I checked to see if the sd card still had multiple partitions, using a sd reader and paragon partition manager, and it does. The first being FAT32 and the second being linux. I still do not know why the phone won't recognize the sd card or any other for that matter. Any help would be soooooooooo appreciated!
Please help guys so I can get my lil bro off my back! ;P
Oh yeah I tried to re-partition the card with the paragon manager and its not going through. Any other type of manager I can use. I'm on windows7 64bit. This is really frustrating and I wanna get this fixed. Also when I plug the usb cable will recognize the external drive but when I click on it it says please insert drive.
I used to have a 4GB class 6 Micro SD Card. One day my phone crashed and I had to remove the battery in order to reboot. When I reboot, the SD Card is damaged and I had SD-Ext with alot of apps on.
I then got a 2GB class 6 Micro SD Card. Today the same thing happened.
I'm using FroyoByLaszlo 5.2 and I want to know if there's a solution to this problem (as in, stopping the phone from breaking my SD Cards - they must be reformatted before they will work now).
i am not sure if thats a genuine warning.i get it all the time every time i reboot,i just think thats cos i dont have an ext4 partition.all i do is remount the card
Sent from my HTC Dream using Tapatalk
I have Ext4 partition though. And if I attempt to launch an app (they usually have the default app green logo) it says 'Could not launch the requested activity'...
same problem here, with froyobylaszlo, did you find a solution? thanks

did that already, and then after a while the error comes back
it's the rom... you need to reflash it.. i had an issue like that.. dropped my phone and sd card fell out so no matter what i did it wouldn't fix, had to reflash rom..

yep! That is what needs to be done after that.
ok... thank you very much for your help.
I was wondering if the reflashing worked for more people? I reflashed like 3 times now and it still pops up.
Before when I switched my apps to the SD card, they died there and didn't work anymore. Otherwise it was fine (except with that annoying notification that would never leave).
Now I have formatted everything like 4 times and still no luck. This all happened after I got froyo by laszlo.

did you un partition it?
you need to un partition via recovery (set swap and ext values to: 0mb)
then remove from device, insert to pc and re format to FAT32
now do wipe of everything(flash superwipe) re partition your sd card than re flash rom.
I am using Samsung 64G with FAT32 formatting, it's very normal before. But I found it will become read only mode now and need to reboot mobile everytime. Unfortunately, same problem occur again after few days and need to reboot again.
I just wondering it's device or SD card issue? Thanks!

I can use it in computer, and as the problem didn't occur immediately, so it's hard to test with other device.
I had a similar problem with my SanDisk 64GB. Unfortunately, the thing was borked. I could still read from it, but couldn't write anything to it. These symptoms appeared on both the phone and computers (via SD adapter and via phone's USB).
Just sharing my experience.

are you able to write after reboot mobile?

Well, the sd card is long gone now. But no, I wasn't able to. I would be able to move files onto it, via a file browser, but it would disappear on reboot or if I stuck the SD card into a computer. Which meant that nothing was written to the card itself.

i think it's the device issue. because you saying the problem didn"t occur immediately. if the SDcard issue you most see it read only in PC. and whats you android version in your device? if 4.1.2 you most change it to 4.2.2 or 4.3 because 4.1.2 don't support 64GB SDcards

ok. good luck with it:good:
After backup the files from SD to hard disk, and format the SD card, it show failed with write protected error. Tried different card reader / adapter also the same!!!
This is second SD card "dead" with my Xperia Z!!!
So this is for a friend of mine and i just spent the last hour or so searching for fixes. he came in to work today complaining that his SD card wasn't working. He plugged it in to his computer using an adapter which the computer recognized and said it needs to be formatted. When he tried to format, it failed multiple times. (we also tried doing this with his phone plugged in via USB but we couldn't access the card that way. The phone wont mount the sd card in his S4 active or my S4)
We then went on to try disk management which also failed. I searched and found a video about using the command prompts and diskpart to wipe it but that failed as well. The computer is also showing his 32gb card as 30.1MB. (this was a problem when we tried to partition it using diskpart)
I found another link in a forum that mentioned using ZAR, that failed, as well as SDFormatter.
He has some nostalgic pictures on there he really would like not to lose so im trying what i can to help him out. I believe i can completely wipe his card if need be but i want to try and recover before it comes to that.
Is there anyway i can fix this or is his card toast?
