SD Card Error

I am using Cyanogen 5.0.6 on my N1. I flashed it about 5 days ago.
Backstory: So I was connected to my car stereo via bluetooth on my way to work this morning when the songs stops playing. I then pressed the skip button on my receiver but nothing happened. I then looked at my phone and realized that it was off. I tried pressing the power button to turn it back on but that did not work. Then I removed the battery and then replaced it and pressed the power button. It turned on. The main problem became evident when I got to the home screen and it said "Blank SD card - SD card blank of has unsupported filesystem."
Is there a way to recover the data that was on this sd card? It is asking me to format the card, but I would rather recover the files if possible before formating. Also, is this a glitch with Cyanogen, the 5.0.6 ROM, Android 2.1 or something else?
If anyone could help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

No idea what could have caused it but as for recovering files just try one of the many programs out there.
Ive persoanlly had success wity a program called recova for windows

Thanks Phantom.
I had a spare memory card at home. It was full of videos so I had to format the card. Once it was formatted, I stuck it in the phone and rebooted. Everything was fine for about a half hour. I then loaded up some of my files that I wanted on the card, mainly just photos and documents. Then I thought I would go back to Cyanogen 5.0.5.3 so I loaded up the zip file on the root of the card and turned the phone off. When I went into bootloader it wouldn't recognize the card. So I was forced to restart the phone. Once it got to the home screen, a notification popped up saying that the SD card is damaged. [naturally there were expletives]. So now I have two SD cards that I cannot use on my phone. When I put the cards into a USB adapter, the computer only sees a few MB of the SD card and does not allow me to format.
I have now just about reached the limit of my computer knowledge.
The two main questions are:
1. What caused this?
2. How can I fix it?
Please keep in mind that I am a noob when it comes to most of this stuff so I would appreciate the help to be kept in layman's terms as much as possible.
Thank you!

Faulty SD Card?

I have been using a class 2 16 GB SD card that I bought off play.com for a while now, and it worked perfectly in both my Hero and my N1, until recently. Since flashing Froyo, I have been having some issues, for example my mp3 files are not indexed in the music app, so nothing shows up, also my phone was freezing, both when I unplugged it from USB and at other random intervals.
So I decided to try another SD Card to see if it would clear up the music indexing problem. Since then, that has worked, and my N1 does not seem to have frozen at all.
Has anyone else had any issues like this, and could the SD card be causing my phone to freeze? (By freeze I mean it sits with whatever I was doing on the screen, but is completely unresponsive, and sometimes if I wake the phone it sits on the slide to unlock screen with the screen dimmed.
Thanks for any help.

I have a issue like this and I re-formated the the card and all worked for me. I again had the issue with another card I just took all data off the card and all worked so there was a file that had corrupted on the card. Hope this helps

That is definitely useful. Thank you.
Did your problem involve freezing at all?

[Q] HD7 SD Card Problems

Hi guys
I'm having issues with my HD7.
I'll start by saying I had the phone with no problems for about 2 months and then suddenly the problems started.
Basically it starts by just randomly rebooting and it loses all the data, going into the phone info shows that it has about 15 megs of memory, normally this is around 16 Gigs.
So I opened it up removed and reinserted the microsd and factory reset in the menu and via the volume buttons + power method, this works for about a week then the problem happens again.
Initially the problem would go away by just rebooting, but lately I have to open her up every week and reseat it and reset it.
I've tried replacing the SD card, from what I've read online the only card that you can replace the internal one is with a sandisk class 2 card, but the one that was in there already is a class 4?
The new card I tried with still has the same problems.
I have tried contacting my local HTC and they keep referring me to the US HTC as the HD7 is not out here yet. so that isnt a solution.
Anyone know how to resolve this problem?

Did you try formatting the sdcard that was inside the hd7? You can use a Symbian device to format it. Let me know if this works.

Thanks for the reply.
I have tried a format on a PC. I formatted to NTFS and then did a factory reset (volume buttons).
It usually works this way for about a week or two then the problem shows up again.

my card was comming unseated so i took off the bootom antenna cover part and reseated the card and no problems after that

Yeah, thats what i have to do to try and get it to work, basically unscrew the phone take out and reinsert the sd card, but again that is a temporary solution, wondering if there is a more permanent one. = (

(FIXED) "CHECK BATTERY COVER" AND "SD CARD IS REMOVED" issues.

(FIXED) "CHECK BATTERY COVER" AND "SD CARD IS REMOVED" issues.
Hello everyone. I getting some problems on my S5 mini G800F .
When I bought it, worked perfectly, but then some days later a very annoying "Check battery cover" popup is coming up, when I restart and when I wake up and unlock my phone. And it got even worse. When I woke up my device, it comes with that annoying msg but it stands for 2 seconds and U CAN'T CLOSE IT! I PRESSED FOR 5 MINUTES STILL IT DONT GO. I FIGURED OUT THAT ONLY WHEN I PRESS MULTITASKING OR HOME BUTTON STOPS THIS. ONLY FOR THIS TIME. Then week later, a "SD card is removed" error comes up . I formatted it on my phone. What is the problem of this? :what:
EDIT: RESTARTED MY DEVICE. AND I GET ON BLACK BACKGROUND POPUP "CHECK BTR COVER" AND U PRESS AND IT DONT GO. BUT IF I PRESS HOME IT GOES AWAY BUT TOUCHWIZ LOADS LIKE IT WAS CRASHED OR JUST STOPPED. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY DEVICE??
______________________________________________
I FIXED IT, I DIDN'T DELETE MY POSTS TO SHOW OTHER PEOPLE HOW TO REPAIR THIS ANNOYING THING.

G800H here, almost same thing since I installed a 64Gb SD card, but mine says "damaged SD card" instead and both are cured rebooting......till the next wake up....

I just read some forums, other people have this problem too. And on S5. Maybe we have to go with Samsung's SD cards...

There's an update for my device.... I was running G800FXXU1ANL1 now update is FXXU1AOG2 ... NOT ANDROID 5... Maybe update is to prepare software for 5.... Only changed clock a little bit and updated GAPPS... very cool update from samsung...

The update fixed the batt cover and sd problems?

Card was dead, not a phone problem
Nope....
But I realised that "empty sd card" is showing so long on my phone.... so i connected my SD card to my tab, it started to show "empty sd card" too!
I formatted it, but i think it failed because it formatted too fast and it don't fix "empty SD card" error. So, I connected it to my PC, taken 2 minutes to detect it. Then, Windows said "You have to format D: to continue".... but it detected only 31MB out of4GB(4GB Sandisk), and Windows failed to format, too... I tried format with NTFS, exFAT and FAT, doesn't work... I tried to recover it, but I failed... R.I.P. 4GB SanDisk. Hello, Healthy Phone!
Without SD Card, it fixed all problems that I had!
EDIT: It was 4GB SanDisk Class 4, I readed in other forums, that it doesn't show any problems if you have Class 10 SD Card..

Update after about three months, I have Samsung 64GB Class 10 card with 90mb/s reading and 80mb/s writing speeds.
No issues AT ALL. But sometimes after restarting my device, it shows this. I think it's normal.

SD Card formatted as internal storage randomly unusable on cm13

I love marshmallow's adoptable storage feature, allowing me to install more apps. This feature worked beautifully for about a month and a half. However, I shut down the device, plugged it in to charge, went to sleep, and the next morning, the apps that were moved to the sd card were not available anymore. They were all greyed out on my launcher(Nova). I moved about 4 gigs worth of mostly games. Fortunately, most of them had cloud storage, but some favorite games didnt. This isn't that big of a problem, but I'd like to try to fix it. So, I went here for help.
At first, I thought the class 10 SanDisk 16gb sd had just gotten bumped out of the slot where the connections happen, so I opened the back cover and removed and inserted the sd card. The notification that prompted me to put the sd back in went away for a few seconds, but then came back. I repeated the process of removing and inserting the sd a few times, but still no moved apps were available. I put the sd into an adapter, then into my laptop, and it showed on file explorer. So the sd card could still be recognized, but maybe unusable.
I dont know what happened, one day it was working, the next day it wasn't. I know i formatted it as internal and portable storage a few times, so maybe that wore it out. I'm running cm13

Hello,
On my phone I used the micro SD card normally as external storage. On day I plugged in my headphones and there was no music. I though that the micro SD card must have come out. However, reinserted it it didn't work. I wouldn't open on computer either. While I don't have a solution, I am pretty sure I also had the same problem.

Once I was taking pictures with my phone when it crashed and rebooted. Some hours before the crash I uninstalled some apps and installed some others (but never rebooted the phone). After the phone started again after the crash, all the pictures and files were gone, the uninstalled apps were there as if I've never uninstalled them and the new installed ones dissapeared.

how long have you used your sd card? i'm sure that the more you use a micro sd card, the more it will wear out and become unuseable/corrupted. That has happened to me before, where the sd card just stopped working.

I have used it for about 1 year. So it may be that but, it has never occurred before.

Same problem here, you can read it here. While I am writing hopefully my files from Titanium Backup are transfered to my laptop. It got worse and worse, in my opinion the sd-card has reached it's end of life because of it's heavy usage. Error occured the first time after the phone got really hot recording gpx tracks. Bye bye sd-card
Another opinion is that warranty is over after two years, so the phone can quit it's duty now - obsolescense plans

yeah, i'm starting to think my micro sd just bailed from wear like that too, but i got to use mine for just over 3 months. i ejected the sd and put it into my computer, and interestingly enough, on my computer it reads 16 megabytes. i was like WAAT that cant be, i formatted it, put it back in my phone as portable, and it read as the normal 14gb. i'm starting to think my sd as internal is the cause of my random reboots. im even running the lastest cm13 update too...
i guess ill try and use my sd as just portable storage from now on, and see if i get any random reboots..

I switched to TurboROM which is using the sd-card as a portable media device, so no more encryption, heavy usage and complete data loss if you do not get your encryption key with root permission.
System space left after complete recovery of my apps with TB is quite nice - but you do not have the possibility to use App2SD (correct me if I am wrong).
So the only way to save internal system space is to move pictures, movies and heavy openstreetmap cards to external.
