File Corruption on MINI SD CARD

back then i have always been getting file corruption on my sd card and i have read up a lot on it but nothing really works. After i switched to Open Touch v3.0 it was fine until yesterday my sd card got corrupted again and i lost a lot of pictures.. Anyone have any solution?

sounds like you have a bad micro sd card. Corruption was common problem with the stock T-Mobile rom but not usually a problem with other roms.
Maybe you can take it out and format it. Hard Reset the phone and try it again.
You can format your card with Windows and that should work fine. Also I've had this program for awhile which is supposed to be far superior to any other program for formatting Micro SD Cards, but I've never used it. Here it is if you'd like it.

any special way to format it or should i just right click and then format?

It might be best to take the card out of the phone. Put it in a card reader and format it on your PC, then put it back in the phone. Making sure you hear it Click in.

I think there are some possible reasons causing troubles like this.
- Files where not cleanly closed at poweroff.
Alway make sure, all programms and applications are terminated before you shut down.
- Incompatible SD-Card
Always refrain from cheap and/or unbranded Cards. I use a Toshiba 2GB SDCard. Never had any problems. Even with the orginal stock ROM with WM5.
- defective SD-Card
Kinda hard to detect if you have just one card. Plug the SDCard into your PC and do a "surfacescan" on the virtual Drive.
- unstable SD-Card connectors
Try to clean the connection-pads on the card and inside your device with a small brush or paper tissue. Never use any other fluits than water to clean connection-pads on the card and just a little drop of it. Make sure everything is dry before you turn your device back on or some parts could get seriously damaged!
I think its also a good advice to see your SD-Card and Systemmemory as a very unsafe and unstable place for critical data. Always do backups as often as you can.
Sorry, for my bad english. Its late and I already had some drinks PLUS I am not very used to speak english anymore..

Thanks for your help don't worry about the english, i still understand you and thats all that matters. i am using Sandisk 2gb.
BTW, zcink
the file you gave me doesn't work, it doesn't even let me extract it

Don't install any programs that may be running at any given time on your SD card. If you have a program running (that's installed on the SD card) and you phone hibernates/shuts down after not being used ... will cause SD corruption.
Nothing with a Today plugin that you use ... nothing that you may accidently leave running.

You are right. It was not zipped right. I took it down. Zipped it correctly, tested it and reuploaded it. The one thats there now is the new one. This is supposed to be Professional software. The guy I got it from said it was the Best thing on the Market. I had never used it before, but I tested it today and it works fine.
Cheers!

Mine corrupted too
Hi, just few minutes back I was trying to copy some files from external harddisk to my wing's stock supplied Sandisk 1 gb memory card and looks like it got corrupted. All I see is some junk characters and boxes as file name. I lost all my (memorable)photos and softwares . I was trying to copy directly from my external disk to phones storage card and I am not sure whether this caused this issue. I have Open touch 2.7 biggy.
I have two questions.
a. Where does active sync stores all the files, contacts, calendar entries in computer (the directory path). I tried searching in the computer but could not find it.
b. Does active sync saves my storage cards file too? I dont believe so. Is there a way to ask active sync to backup files from SD card too?
Thanks in advance

Formating the SD Card For Moding?!?!

Hmmm, okay....so i am trying to Mod my phone, and have read all the ways to do so. I appear to be stuck at the first step though. Formating the SD card.
I connect the phone to the computer and go to the removable disk and try to format, and i always get the error...."Please Insert Disk" and then it automatically disconnects the phone!
Is there something i am doing wrong?
My phone has been updating to crc1 or whatever, no rc29.
Any help?

READ THIS THREAD!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=535232
not the first few pages but the entire thing.
in it you will see all the available ways of doing so. theres a bunch.
anyways. its covered. just get started.
your gonna wanna start with "downgrading" to RC-29 by putting dream.nch (or something similar, check the link)on your sd card. renamimng it update.zip and the rooting. it goes on from there.
ENJOY!!

Basically your computer hates your phone. I have had many problems with mounting the sdcard, which is why i got a card reader. Make sure you don't move the usb cable once it is plugged up to the phone, if it still doesn't work, do you have another device with a sdcard spot thet you can connect it to the computer with. Also its DREAIMG.nbh exactly that. If your card absolutely will not connect to your computer then follow the guide in my sig and download on your phone then move it to the root of your sdcard with astro or something.

Oh...meet one of the masters. He has a point. I'm the proud owner of 3 properly formatted sd cards. . Then I broke down and bought a card reader.
Trust me.....its better to slow down and read then ask a few questions and tate success. The enrire platform is exploding and the things our devs can do is wonderful, understanding the basics will prove to be greatly beneficial soon!!!

what is that suppose to mean lol.
reading and asking questions is for losers lol, not really though it is best to read through the process a few times and make sure you have all the files downloaded before you start, also if you have a cheap little phone you can pop your sim card into in case something takes longer than you plan is a good option thats a plus.
don't do like i did where i had no clue what i was doing and spent like 2 and a half hours trying to root my phone.

Lost.DIR folder, damaged files related with mounting USB card?

Hi,Dear friends, I looked at my sd card today and found that there are around 400mb random-number-named files in this folder. I want to know if I can just delete them?
And I searched the forum and found someone saying it's because the sd card not being properly unmounted from PC. (Or silimar actions) Please see here
I want to know, if it's true, then what is the proper procedure to unmount the card? Usually after I connect it to the pc, I either use the command in the drop down menu or the Mount-USB app on phone's desktop. when I finished with the file copying, then I click mount usb icon again, the word "usb card unmounted" appears (but can't remember exact word) and on the top notification area, it will say preparing sd card. I think that should be ok, right? Then I click safely remove the usb device in the pc then disconnect.
Did I do anything wrong?

What you did wrong? You didn't unmount it!!!!
That means that the filesystem was left in an unsynchronized state, which means DAMAGED.
You need to UNMOUNT the filesystem before you can remount it on the phone.

This operation is not UNMOUNT? then what is your routine after copying files via the phone usb connection?

.... so you violently ripped the thing out of the host's kernel, breaking the filesystem, and then afterward, when the device is no longer accessible to the host's kernel, you decide to unmount it? How is your windoze box going to synchronize a filesystem that it NO LONGER HAS ACCESS TO?
Sure... that makes A LOT of sense!!!
(not...)
As I said, you need to UNMOUNT THE THING before remounting it somewhere else!!!!

The gentler way of saying that ^ is you need to unmount from windows first. then from the phone click the usb icon and unmount.
ezzy pzzy.

Oh, Ok, I see.
But the thing is, (maybe because of the rom i used), when I remove the drive in windows first, there are several occasions that the phone unmount the card automatically and there are also notifications that the card is being prepared, then looks normal. And after that when I access the media on the sd card from the phone, the phone will not recognize the card. In Gallery all the thumbnails are lost and pictures can't be viewed. And from settings the card will not show up, no size information. It looks like it's mounted to the usb connection, but actually it's unmounted. because now if I click the mount usb, it will be mounted again and can be seen from windows.
I didn't use any android before nor did I familiar with linux. If it's a thumbdrive I'll just remove it from windows and it's fine. Here it's like two computer systems and I really don't know which action should take place at the first place. Also I never saw a post related with this problem.
At first I thought I should do the way as you said but strange thing always happen. So later I just did like I discribed before.
Maybe I should flash another rom? what do you think?

When you correctly unmount the filesystem, the phone will properly detect that the filesystem has been changed, and therefore will be SMART ENOUGH to regenerate your MEDIA DATABASE.
You need to GIVE IT TIME TO FINISH!!!
This is the CORRECT BEHAVIOR!

I lol'd at the "Violently ripped out..." part.

Personally I don't remove my SD card unless my phone is off (generally the only time I tinker with it is if I forget something while using recovery)
But think of it this way. If you yank out a flash drive in use from a computer there is risk of data loss, and the flash drive itself failing. I'd say it's a universal piece of knowledge that applies to all flash devices.

OHHH! Taking out sdcards... I only pull my out when it's off and don't have access to a computer that will mount my phone (which is one in a million times). Then again, I don't use ext partition. Still probably bad if I pulled out when it was on, but no where near as bad.

As you said, I also never yank out any flash drive or card reader without "safely remove the usb device". However, when I just connect phone to the PC using USB cord to read the data on the sd card, it makes it a little bit complicated, because what I saw on the phone. I'm not sure here. so I want to ask.

[Q] Need priceless photos off internal SD. Recovery says can't mount SDCard??

So my phone got stuck at boot screen. Bell says I get full replacement, but I'm gonna lose all the data. I have the internal full of children opening gifts on Christmas.
Reading a million forums. Tried to learn enough to flash the firmware with odin. Tried flashing the stock JH2 back to phone. Phone boots to recovery and says problem mounting SD.
Can ADB be used to connect to phone in "Download mode" to Pull the media???
PLEASE PLEASE help?????
after odin is done the phone reboots to:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(no such file or derectory)
E:copy_dbdata_media: Can't mount SDCARD:\copy default media content failed

I'm still desperately trying to get my files. I've read about 1254 more threads. Found this one about flashing back to eclair...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797302
So far I tried JH2, JL2, JM8 and still no luck. Anybody out there got any ideas?? links to help or compassionate remarks?
Phone no boot need remove files inside...is this really an impossibility??

Argh.... it never happens when the internal has useless data aye.
You tried flashing a firmware using all three files (PDA, modem, CSC) with repartition?
P.s. apologies if you have tried all this, just trying to establish a baseline

From what i understand the internal SD card has 2 main partitions. One that's about 2 gigs for Android OS and apps and the remainder of the card stores media and such. (I think that's correct) So I've tried carefully to just poke around the OS area of the SD card in hopes that I can get it to boot up just once to connect and get the pictures off it. I'm fairly sure that "re-partition" would erase the whole card.
I'm starting to consider ripping this damn phone apart and physically removing the internal SD, but I'm not even sure if that is possible or helpful.

That won't work...the 'internal SD' is not a SD card in the traditional sense (standard, mini, micro) - it's a physical chip (IC) that's soldered on to the mainboard.
I haven't heard of anyone being able to pull data off a phone that's got the mmcblk0p1 failure. The best I've heard is of people repartitioning/formating the sd memory in order to get it working again - but of course, that would mean losing all data...sorry...

As what EarlZ said, repartition won't touch the part of the SD dedicated to user data. I've flashed via Odin countless of times and never once did my internal SD get wiped with a repartition so why not flash to something like JPU with repartition using 512 pit file?.
Edit: and reading the error seems to tell me it's a problem in the 2GB portion of the internal SD where the system and such get stored. So yes, do try a repartition. I guarantee you that your user data will be safe. The only time it would get wiped is if you actually choose to format that partition like how one does in Windows or through the settings. Odin flash won't do this most definitely.
If that fails...
Also take a look at this...

Well hot damn them are some good replies. I was brave enough to try re-partition and a few mod roms like in the thread mention as well as a few thread techniques I read. I must have read about 4622 threads by now. Still no luck for me I really really appreciate the help.
Thinkin I might just go wrap up the kids christmas presents tonight while they sleep and just make em open them all again hahaha.
In the mean time I'll just keep readin and keep tryin. Learned a lot at least.

So....
Original problem = boot cycle
-I flash back to JH2 and at least to phone gets to recovery mode and i see the mmcblk0p1 error. progress
-try flashing to the newer JL2 and it goes back to boot cycle
-try flashing back to JH2 to get recover mode again and still boot cycle
-read a million forums about trying mod roms and other techniques and still boot cycle
-get encouraged that re-partition will only affect OS side of SD card and try a million things again. Still boot cycle
-decide to go back to the JK4 that i started on and seems to be the root of all evil and then BAM recovery mode returns and this time it even recognized the device
-any attempt to connect with device either with kies or windows explorer causes PC crash
-phone even recognized by ADB I "think" this program could be used to try and "pull" media from the device but that's just a guess and I don't know how to use it
-the error now is not mmcblk0p1 instead: E:Can't/b mount /devlock/stl10 which could mean something or could be just the same and it leads me to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788850
-try flash techniques in the thread and back to boot cycle
-try going back to the JK4 so I have recovery mode again and still boot cycle. progress gone
I'm gonna flash this damn thing again and again until the damn copper lights on fire

Wow i Admire you man.Listen i dont know much about ADB but i think i saw a post of someone that literally pushed files in his internal card with it,and i clearly remember him saying he could browse through his phone although its card was burned.If so then a single copy would be possible.Since i cant help more,you better start reading on how to use it and find basic commands for it.
I wish you the best man!!!!

Have you tried this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901772
I seem to be able to get that running on my dead GT-i9000M. It has a file browser so maybe you can see if your pictures are even there/accessible. Also has a USB Mass Storage option but it didn't seem to work for me.
However, phone is still dead and needs to go in for repairs/replacement.

OK so now I'm f&*#ed
Tried JP1 method from this stupid page
http://briefmobile.com/how-to-android-2-2-on-galaxy-s
and now I don't have download mode anymore.
somebody plz just shoot me
EDIT: Ok excuse this panic post. I still had connection to ADB and a simple "adb reboot download" command got me back.

Wow thank JDROM. This recovery mode really looks promising. I got the file manager working but I can't seem to find any directories with DCIM/ label or any media. Sure looks like this could help me somehow. Might only have half the SD mounted or something. I'll have to play around and read some more, but I gotta say this is the best progress I made in a while.
THanks SO much
Edit: Found in File manager to run partition manager and formating options show up. In here there is mounting options to /mnt/sdcard or /mnt/external_sd except when I try it returns the E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 to /mnt/sdcard with parameters vfat(null) So hmmmm....
Edit: Also learned a bit more about ADB commands to possibly ""Adb pull /sdcard/DCIM"" if I ever get it mounted.

Well that's it for me. The quest is over. I admit defeat. Memories Lost. Game Over

That sucks man...i had a bunch of stuff on my phone that i lost when the internal died....mine took out the external sdcard i had in it too - so all my backups were destroyed as well!
Moral of story: Save important crap on something like dropbox!
Some dev should make a program that automatically syncs certain directories (like pictures, or backup folders) to dropbox. I'd donate for that.....

[Q] Why the heck did Google eliminate the "App to SD"-Option????

Hello!
I can not believe this: My brand new Xperia Z with 4.2.2 has no option to put apps to sd card!!!
Where did this button go?
The only thing I can move are photos, music and videos! This is CRAP!
What did happen?
My phone is rooted but not on unlocked bootloader.
How can I get this option back?
I tried "Foldermount", but despite this app will cost money it is sending my phone into bootloops!
Could please tell me someone how I can get this crucial option back??
WHY DID THEY DO THIS?

Looking at this thread, I feel we should just stop with the arguing and actually try to answer the question.
OP asked why?
So, to answer your question, as of 4.2, external storage is emulated in order to support the multi-user feature.
Read here & here.
4.2 has changed the way storage is treated by the Android OS.
This is why it is no longer possible to move applications to the external SD Card.
Further, as to how you can try to build up some extra space, it would be nice to copy your Android folder (This is usually where the big games store their files) from the root of your internal sdcard to your external storage.
Then create a soft link like this:
Code:
ln -s /storage/sdcard0/Android /storage/sdcard1/Android
Similarly, you can manually create softlinks for other large folders and move them to external storage. (Should be no problem for a power user!)
I choose to stay above the arguments in the thread & stick to the topic. If you do reply to me, please try and stay on topic if you want me to respond.
Rants, discussions and arguments can be taken over to the general section. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, just find the right place for it, that's all.

@kgs1992; This is so far the best response I got. Thank you very much, Sir!
Unfortunately your links are worthless, because it is all related to TWRP. The only "hack" I did so far with this phone is rooting it. I am really not interested in using TWRP/CWM or ROMs the next weeks and/or months. I am really looking for an option to solve this irritating problem.
You tell me to symlink this Android folder and you "guess" that there are games. What about other files? I will read this up as I think this is the only solution I can think of right now.

The links were meant to be informative, just to give you some info & provide a reference on which my answer is based.
Symbolic links is (currently) the only possible solution unless you plan to swap the internal and external sdcard mount points.
I don't recommend the latter though, nor can I help you with it because I haven't tried it myself.

Glad i could be of help :silly:

@kingvortex: I really appreciate your efforts! But after I saw this strange "Folder Mount" app I don't think this is the right solution for me. It also needs to be unlocked for money. If my efforts with symlinking fail, I will come back for more. But your advice could be useful for users with very very much spare time. And there is no guarantee that it will work...
@kgs1992: The links are informative, no doubt about that. But I realize that even the hackers from TWRP have problems with this new behavior. This should make us think.
The ExtSD2IntSD switch thing is no option for me either. I totally agree with you!
Just give me time to read this symlink option up. I also need to know where other files than games files are stored. But I also see a problem here that different manufacturers of games store their files in different places. Some ask where they should put the data to, which is good, others (like EA) just use your internal memory without asking.
So, you see: What I need to do know is reading, reading, reading and trying, trying, trying. And maybe one day I will find a solution. But this problem was not there in 4.1.2. Time is a precious ressource nowadays. We should save it and not waste it.
All the best

@kingvortex is absolutely right.
I gave you the method, i.e. symlinking.
But he, it seems, gave you an app that does the symlinking for you without you having to do much of the work.
I would say his solution is far better than mine, although both effectively do the exact same thing.

Try use GL to SD app from play store. Is worked for me.

You mean the app, right? No, that is the point, it does not work.
All these apps either say:
a) your device is not supported (sic!)
b) your external SD card is emulated (sic!)
These kinds of apps are obsolete now. Thanks to, well, you know already.

Symlinking does not work.
After moving a game directory to external SD card and symlinking it via "Terminal Emulator" I get the following message:
Code:
link failed: function not implemented
I also heard that symlinking is _not_ possible with FAT32 which drives my SD card.
And now?? Great.
P.S.: I have three different places to search for files before moving, btw: storage, sdcard0 and sdcard1. Veeery intelligent.

Make an ext3 partition on your external sdcard.

Did convert the file system from FAT32 to ext3. All my files are still there.
However, now Android says "SD card empty".
Perfect.

I give up. It is not possible anymore.
What I did:
1) made one partition FAT32, so that this poor little Droid can have his supreme SD card primary deluxe file system
2) made another one, ext3
I ended up with two partitions on the same SD card.
3) downloaded "Link2SD" and started it
4) first it lets you choose which file system is present on your second partition (in my case ext3). Then
5) "Link2SD" said: "Could not create mount script. Mount: invalid argument."
Finish! Nothing worked. I'm out of this. Good luck.
