[Q] "SD card blank or has unsupported file system"

Hi all. I've been doing some research on this for some time now, and I haven't been able to find anything of relevance.
I have a 32GB Kingston microSD card that my phone cannot read. I get the following error:
"Bank External SD card
SD card blank or has unsupported file system."
When I try to format it with my Galaxy [2.2 legit froyo], it will still not let me mount it. Now this SD card may be FAT32 or it maybe NTFS - I'm not too sure, but which ever one it is, my phone doesn't like!
I don't know how to access this memory card via my computer, I was wondering if there was a fix for this or if there was a program on the Market that will allow me to format back and forth with NFTS and FAT32 through my phone?
I've tried everything, whatever I do just does no work, so please don't be telling me to make sure I've put it in correctly or take it out and put it back in because they simply do not work.
Thanks in advance...

No? Bump... Please help me, I hate having no space on my phone!

Try using a card reader and see if shows up on the computer. Sd formatter has worked for me before to bring an unresponsive card back. Do a google for sd formatter.

How can I go about actually connecting my microSD to the computer..?

You will need an sd card reader and the adapter for the micro sd.

[Q] Captivate - cannot see SD card

Samsung i897- given to me used, Original owner said never used the sd card slot as it never came with one.
I hit flash to stock from the phone menu, it is at O/S version 2.2.
I am trying a sandisk micro sdhc 8 gb.
I put the card in the phone, the external sd was/is greyed out for mount and format.
I tried the disc in my pc and it read as fat, so I reformatted it as fat, and it still does not show in the phone.
I tried putting files on it when connected to the pc, and it worked.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Is this a common problem for this phone? Does the card need to be named something special? I looked in the manual and cannot even find what format the card should be (fat,ext4 etc).
Thanks in advance.

OK so,
Tried Formatting the sd as NTFS? what kernel do you have? what compilation of froyo do you have?

External SD is mounted as vfat.
Can you see the SD card by using a usb adaptor outside of the phone? If not, try another card. If yes, format it there as a fat and try again in phone.

Phone wont accept sd card data

So just today I got my phone working with CM 9 and everything works but the phone wont accept my SD card data.
If I go to the gallery it says I need a SD card, so it didn't recognize it but if I go to the file manager I can open my SD card and see all my files it I still can't access them. For example a song I had on the SD card I can see it but it won't let me listen to it.
I'm sure that the SD card isn't broken or anything it works fine on other phones and it did work on this phone until I installed CM 9.
Does anyone know of a solution?

There's two ways to do it first I suggest you back up the files to your PC then place you sdcard back in your phone go to storage and format the external card that way or once you've backed up the sdcard whilst it is still connected to our PC right click on our sdcard and format should list of options

Have you tried reflashing the current Rom you're on or try flashing back to stock?

Yes, I tried

Xperia T or TL users may have experience this. Their phones are known to kill SD Cards. Try connecting your SD Card without your phone.

hi dani
my XV has this kind of problem and my partner also have same problem too, XV have killed your SD card and your SD card may not able to be read in ur PC too, either u need to exchange a new SD card (of course change with under warranty) or go without using SD card. i have no idea why it can happen, 1st SD u use in XV may have this kind of problem, 2nd SD (new) inserted to XV will go fine.
(not sure whether it is a bugs or not)

I had a corrupt sd card in my V. I put it in the PC, it asked me if I wanted to format it and I said no.
Then I ran chkdsk -F on it, and it fixed everything and saved all my files.

hmm, mine 1 totally not able read the corrupted sd card, so change under warranty

Maybe my issue was slightly different. On my V, the message was "Damaged Sd card" and it would not mount on the phone.
On the computer, when I plugged in the Sd card and tried to navigate to the drive, the computer would only prompt me to format it. I couldn't view any files.
But I could say "no" to the prompt, open command prompt, and from c: run chkdsk on the sd drive.

my sdcard now completly unreadeable , both from PC and phone ...

Use a Sd adapter and see if your sd card has multiple partitions that could be one of the cause

it has only one partition FAT32. the problem only found in nougat rom like the new cusrom DOTOs. when i change back to MM like lineage 13 it works well

I think your sd card has multiple partitions too. Let's use Minitool partition wizard to delete a partition
