[SOLVED]Damaged SD Card - HTC Incredible S

I was running Cyanogenmod 7.1 stable and all of a sudden in the notification bar it says that my SD card is damaged. I put the stock SD card (Sandisk) in an old nokia and was able to format it on windows 7.
However this has not solved the problem and I can't seem to access any SD card on my phone. Tried a Samsung 8GB and a 1GB Nokia one.
If you try to format it says that SD is currently being checked. I would try a different ROM however 4ext can't access any backups/zip files.
confused now
Edit: Should I try to S-ON, however without a SD card it may be difficult

Perhaps try a different rom just to make sure its not a software issue!! If not then there's a fault at hardware level!!

Yeah I have been playing around with it for the last 2 hours and have managed to get the Samsung one to be recognized so maybe it is a broken SanDisk card .

I put the bootloader back onto S-on and the problem is still there even though its not a custom rom. I think i mght try to get it repaired since everything i have tried has failed

Yes get it repaired by HTC since you unrooted anyways

Just to update If anyone looks back at this thread at a later date. I sent my phone to htc repair centre and they gave it back to me 11 days later with a replaced sd card reader. All seems to be working well so its all good.
Must have been a hardware fault.

well, theres a good chance its a bad sim card. i see that fairly often. the other thing is it could also be a bad sd card. try a different sim card, and a different sd card if you can. did you try factory resetting it? also... where did you get it and why are you sure its not rooted?

maybe im wrong but thought you had to be running a stock or sense base rom for htc sync to recognize the phone being that my phone wont load or restore i cant flash or nand back to a sense base or even stock
starting to think maybe my sd card fried cant get it to transfer files from my pc or to my pc it stalls out trying to format it but thats not working well either keep gettin windows cannot complete the format error or a sd card is locked message.... in other words having hell thinking about smashing it and filing on insurance.......

Did you see my help LINKS thread lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063843
AFAIK you need the sync, cuz it gives you drivers, but there's many ways, go click around in my thread and after you get the basics done post back in here. It does sound like your sd card is borked though, if windows won't even format it. Are you s-off? Probably not Can you get to ADB? does it recognize your phone?
WAIT.... you can use recovery? Just grab another sd card and flash from scratch, no RUU, no nand restore, scratch, it should work.
If your s-off try reflash your recovery. If your not s-off then you should be. Then try to reflash your recovery.

Yeah after I posted that I remembered you were actually talking about recovering lost data on an sd, oops.
Just wanted to elaborate a little on this in case anybody searches for help and lands here.
The 'LINKS' thread Duce provided contains a link to an RUU (windows executable) which only requires the Android USB Driver is installed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=800586
You can download an Android USB Driver package separately.
You can also find the HTC Android USB Driver here (bottom of page).
I have used this many times, even on computers without AndroidSDK installed, just the driver package (I keep a zip on my SDCard ~8 MB).
wouldn't know of a way to fix my sdcard would ya

You might try and boot into a Linux Rescue Disk (i.e. RIPLinuX - (Bootable ISO X-Version))
Search right-click menu for GParted.
Run GParted, delete the partition(s), rebuild partition table, format new partition(s).
All this is done right in the GParted UI, just a few clicks.
This might help fix your problem, not really sure.

[Q] My HTC Sensation XL SD Card cannot be Mounted. Please Help me.

Today morning I had installed the custom Insanely Cool Sense Rom By Three Muskeeters and the phone was working really fantastic. Lot of improvements like more batter life, good Wi-Fi signals and also the Network radio and the fabulous performance. But later, I have found that my SD card only shows the size of 234KB. I was wondering and I had restarted my Device into Recovery and formatted the SD card which results the SD card cannot be mounted. I tried several times, but no possibilities. Later I restarted my device which doesnt boot into the Android OS. Now, I dont know how to reinstall my Backup ROM which I have with me over the ClockWork Mod Recovery. Because, I dont have the access to my SD Card to copy the Backed up ROM. Now what can I do?
Shall I have to give my mobile to the HTC Service center for repair? or if any other way to remount my SD card. I have tried to format and mount the SD card through CWM Recovery. But it fails.
Can Someone help me how to make my device works again? I will be thankful to you if you help me in this regard.
If I give my device to the HTC Service center, Sure they will charge me again 300 US Dollar to replace the main board. I am residing in United Arab Emirates. Here people dont even look at the phone to figure out the real issue. They use to say that you have to replace your main board in order to make your phone work. I have already paid 300 US Dollar before when I was not familiar with the CWM.
That time when I have given my phone to HTC Service center, My CWM Recovery and SD card is working fine. But I dont know how to install the Custom Rom Via SD card over CWM. Because of the device unlocked, they charged me 300 US Dollar to repair my phone. They told that I had damaged the main board of my device. I was really wondering that time.
Now, I really need your help guys. Kindly give me the proper appropriate solution to get back my device working. Thank you.
Regards,
Ummar Hathaf

I had similar problem and what i did was relocked my phone and run ruu for ics 4.0.3 for my region. It worked fine. You will then have to unlock and root again. I have decided to stick with stock ics 4.0.3 update for now.
Try ICS Rom by FShami - Really well optimized for Sensation XL
Thanks for the Superb and Fantastic Well Optimized Rom by Fshami.

[Q] SD Unknown Message in Bootloader causing RUU Issues?

I recently bought a HD7 in pretty bad shape, with no SIM or SD card reader, and lots of cracks and scratches as a project, after a bit of work and a few replacement parts, its working perfectly apart from the fact it wont get signal at all.
During fixing it i had to put a SD card in it because there wasnt one in it before, i followed all the steps in a guide for upgrading the SD card and it works fine for storage but bootloader says 'SD Unknown 12'
The SD card is a 16GB class 6 card.
Hardware wise i dont see what could be causing the signal issues so im trying to flash an RUU to see if that helps at all, BUT the RUU keeps giving an Error message saying File Write Error. And when i look at any details about the phone in bootloader or 'about' in settings the only thing i see out of place is the SD card details saying SD Unknown 12 in the bootloader.
Could this SD Unknown message be causing my RUU issues?
And how do i sort this out if its going to cause any issues aswell as this?
Any help or info would be greatly appreciated

I would say it's a possibility that one problem is causing the other. So eliminate one problem at a time.
Is the SD card new? Depending on the brand of card, like Samsung it could be locked... If the card came out of a WP7 device then it's probably locked too! WP7 devices seem to lock the cards and will only work in the device it was originally installed in, until its unlocked and wiped clean. Which can be done with a HD7, XBmod rom with cab, cab sender... but you can't flash, so you would need a Nokia device, Symbian or it can possibly be done on a pc, but would take some work and digging to get that figured out!
File write error usually indicates that remote access control has failed and to check the ActiveSync connection and try running RUU again.
Try unistalling and reinstalling ActiveSync and drivers or try a different pc completely! I had to use a different pc to get my HD7 to connect properly and run the RUUwrapper.

One other thing I would suggest too is... if replacing the SD card and your buying a new one, you might as well upgrade it to the 32gb for the extra memory. I just did mine yesterday and it seems to be faster and more responsive now too!
Thanks for the suggestions, I can't get ActiveSync to work so im going to try it in a virtual machine on XP to see if that works, the SD card is definitely locked because I can't access it through my card reader, might just try downgrade the bootloader and install RSPL and flash a new radio or nbh from the RUU. Hopefuly they won't conflict with the SD Unknown. I don't see why it should but time will tell. Just got to wait for a Y cable now. Thanks again for your help.

Yeah I had nothing but problems with ActiveSync on my laptop! I spent half a day trying to get the RUUwrapper to work. I switched to anoher laptop that I never hooked my HD7 too and it didn't even have Zune installed on it... within 20 mins I flashed HSPL and Deepshining!
Yeah goldcard/ Y cable should work for you.
I'm not sure why but I don't think it will work on a virtual machine. You can try it and if it does then great, if not then try it on a regular OS.
