I purchased this about 3 months ago. I've been using it regularly since then and have taken it out and put it back in the phone countless times but last night I took it out, without un-mounting it. I then put it in an adapter to transfer files from my computer to the micro sd. When I put it in my laptop it asks me to format. I then clicked cancel and then put it back on my phone. Now, on my phone it doesn't detect either. All i get is a message that says "Blank Sd card inserted", "format it". After trying countless methods, going into device manager, renaming the drive, downloading the HP micro sd formater etc, I am still unable to recover anything or format the card. I can't even format the card through my phone or PC. All it says is unable to format. My adapter isn't write protected. I have also tried putting the card in my DSLR and tried formatting it in there, but it says it cannot format it.
Is there anything else I can do or is this card dead? Thanks!

Try to open it with minitool partition wizard HE 7. Format it FAT32. Insert it into your device see if it finds it
i tried that it doesnt work. any other solutions?

Sounds dead as door nails to me... surprising though after only 3 months, that's a good card. It might be worth contacting the place you bought it and asking for a replacement.

Use that. Worked for me.
I'm having similar issues.
I have the same card, class 10 I think. I recieved it yesterday. The first time I connected the card to the PC it was accesible, with 59GB free and in FAT32 (I think, I don't really remember the filesystem). I reformatted it to NTFS (again, I think, maybe it happened backwards) and started to put some music on it. But something was wrong (maybe with the card, or the adapter, or my PC), the music weren't actually copying, so I forced the process to stop. First trying to kill explorer.exe, then when that failed making a hard reboot. And since then, I always get the same error: unable to format. Maybe I was a little unprotective with the card, disconecting it the hard way sometimes. But then I took concious of that and now I'm beeing very careful about the whole thing.
Is there a way to fix this? I just recieve the card and now do I have to contact amazon and try to get a replacement?
This is my adapter, it has a few years now, I'm surprised that it can recognise microsd cards up to 64GB:

Happened to me last time and no choice but to get a new one. Ive also tried all the possible solutions, still give it a try and might work on you. Hope you can still recover it and I know how bad it feels.
I need to know if it has something to do with the adapter or is just that the card is corrupted before this monday to proceed with the refund on amazon.
Please, can someone clarify me something? Thank.
And also, are these microsd reliables? Because it seems to me that they autocorrupt themselves after a while, and it's like a lottery when you buy one...
Is it also a sandisk card? If it is try contacting sandisk and ask if the card is genuine or not they may ask you send pictures of the package that it came with and the front and the back of it. They may also ask you to try and read the series of numbers and letters on the back of the card to confirm its authenticity. Sandisk contact number is 866 72634 75
Use diskpart in CMD.
Then format it in FAT32. =)

I live in Spain. It was sold by amazon so I guess it is original. I don't want support, I want to know if I can fix it by myself with a compatible reader. I want to know as well if the reader that I'm using is compatible, because maybe the problem is there.

Please make sure you choose the right disk...and dont format your computer Lol.
No luck, error after error. Again, is it the microsd or is it my adapter?

Could be your adapter. Do you have any of those microSDHC to SDHC adapters instead?
Is it possible to put the microSD card into your phone and then connect your phone via USB....see if diskpart can find it then?
I have the adapter from microsdxc to sdxc but again, I don't think I have a sdxc reader, only sdhc.
I can put the sd on my SGS3 but I can't do anything from there.
Yeah I suggest another compatible reader that supports that capacity of card like another phone/reader. But based on your problem there are certain cards that gets corrupted after loading a certain amount of files where they manipulate how the card capacity will be read by the computer. I have encountered cards (microsd specifically) that shows on my computer as 4GB but in actual they are only 512mb so once I transfer files higher than 512mb it will get corrupted.
Don't get offended but I also checked the Sandisk Site for mobile cards and unable to find information about a microsdXC card
Sandisk MicroSDs
The only information that I have that has 64GB are Ultra cards
Sandisk Ultra Cards
If it still won't work on a different device contact amazon then tell them the problem so they can refund/replaced the card I think it usually takes 3-7 days depending on amazon. Also all sandisk cards have the word "Sandisk" on their cards(forgot about that important detail)
OK, thanks for all of your feedback

If you have a ubuntu USB stick....boot it live from the stick and see if it can format it for you there using the same card reader.
I already tried on my linux distributions. I'm gonna get a refund.

I wake up to a phone call this morning, and I thought it was strange that the default ringer was playing. After the call I looked and found that my SD card isn't being read. I've had the same card for about 6 months. My PC doesn't read the card, it freezes when i try to open the drive in 'my computer'. Any help will be VERY much appreciated, I REALLY need the data thats on this card!
check here
http://www.data-recovery-software.net/
Well this is a trick how i fixed mine in the same situation - and an old memory stick.
On the pc
1. Put card in pc reader but do not put it in usb slot yet.
2. Goto control panel\admin tools\computer management
3. Click on disk management and a list of disks will come up
4. Put reader in usb and wait until card is recognized - it does this way for some reason
5.Right click on your card and format and that should do it.
That program doesn't recognize the sd card either. Now that I think about it, my battery died last night, could that have caused this?
Thanks Mark for your help, its VERY strange, when the card is in my reader flashes every few seconds.. like it knows there is a card in it and it tries to read it. I tried what you said, but all i get is an hour glass and I'm unable to right click and format... at this point I'm more concerned with reviving the card and I dont really care about the contents.
u have tried to do it meschle's way ?
and then try this recovery software on it.
u wanted the data back , there is a solution...
u can also try and run scandisk on it or in commandline : chkdsk <driveletter>: /f
I'm starting to think that the card actually DIED because of my phone battery.. Somehow when the batt died yesterday it took out my sd card. I tried accessing the card with cmd.exe and it freezes my computer! I'm very good with computers, and I've recovered other SD cards that other people have goofed up. But this one is something NEW and it's really frustrating!
as it seems i was to fast and u didnt want the data back but the card
back to work again.
Is it recognised in ur phone ? if yes select the option in system for erasing storage. if no you can still try if it works.
it probably has some bad blocks
btw now that you mention this...
i bought a transcend card 2gb 80x minisd last week and it suffers
from this strange thing that it looses the card after a llittle while
like it gets disconnected.. this seems a bit simmilar to what ur telling now

It is NOT recognized in my phone, my ringtones are stored on the card. Thats how I first noticed that something was up, it was playing the default ringtone that ships with the phone.

Try rebooting your pc as that can help and make sure the contacts are clean on the card - then try again - possible use wm5torage and connect to pc this way so pc thinks card is a memory stick.
The card is corrupted but often retrievable.
Other tricks on the device is to use storage tools or sktools - but if device does not recognize the card prob wont work but worth a shot - both trial versions will format card - google them.
well i assume u know some about computers.
have u tried it on a linux or mac computer to read it contents.
did you get to see something when putting it in the pc-cardreader ?
you can try on the phone to wipe storage and at the moment u press ok
for it to be carried out you put in the minisd.
On my card i found that there where 2 files on it that looked like a cd image
or something similar. i have this thought that there is something strange in the root of this card of mine and the one ur having.

My Phone doesn't even recognize the card so these programs dont help. I have tried two different card readers, and even tried my roommates mac with no change. Can SD cards just DIE like that? I thought that they could only be corrupt. It worked flawlessly for about 6 months.

I can pick up a 2gb one for $20 so its not really worth my time to try to send it back for warranty.
be sure not to buy this transcend 2gb 80x , coz it give strange effects on
the wizard... im mailing with them to come to a solution but it seems the
minisd just dissapeares. while it works great for about 10 seconds in the phone, its totally gone after that
At least your old card can have a good send off
take care enjoy your new 2gb card
btw which 4gb are you using mark ?
as it seems im into buying a new one, might as well be one with 4gb and working with a wizard without nagging or dissapearing
Hi guys, this happend today. My vario III suddenly can't find the memory card and my pc won't open it when I use card reader as well. All I can think of is I was using the card to transfer data between PCs yesterday several times and my PC won't read it at alst, but it worked ok with my Vario II(kaiser).
Help Please! How can I bring my card back??
Sorry, forget to mention that it a 8G Sandisk card.
I just posted the same problem and I also have a 8 GB from sandisk.
try to use the original SD card, see what happens..
My kaiser couldn't find it either..
I already contacted HTC customer service (an hour ago)
..
Edit:
I have a dutch T-Mobile MDA Vario with the original firmware.
Also a hard-reset doesnt help.
thanks a lot. I am waiting for your reply.
Hi
I had encountered similar problem before. My 8GB card was not detectable in my TytnII and shows empty in my laptop.
What I did is use the freeware program ""PC Inspector File Recovery" to recover all the loss files. What I believe is that the file table or something like that is corrupt but all files are still in card. DO NOT copy new files to the card if you intend to recover files from your card.
Thanks very much, I will give it a try now. keep finger crossed.
How does that happen? any ideas?
I have made a poll to see how many Kaisers have the same problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=390086
Cheap 8GB microSD cards usually are not true SDHC. They are a 4GB card reformatted to 8GB so the directory shows up that capacity but no data can be loaded to the extent of its capacity.
Buy another one, this time from a trusted seller and move on.
For the record, the card I got is original sandisk card.
Actually it happened once before for my 2GB sandisk card on hw6515. Am not sure if the corruption got anything to do with activesync as there there is no way to remove the sync other than directly unpluging the set from the laptop.
Unlike thumbdrive where we can select the option of removing thumbdrive.

Hi guys, I tried PC Inspector File Recovery and got the data I wanted back(there was 5~6 G on it but I only needed 2 M). My card come with N95 old version from O2 in UK, so I think it is a genuine branded sandisk card. After retrieving the data I tried to format my card and my PC allowed me to do that(it was impossible before I use PC Inspector), but after 5 mins it told me that windows can not format the card.
Anyway, I got the data back although the card is still dead.
Thanks a lot guys!
My 8G card would cost 50 pounds+ in the high street shops, don't understand why you guys say it's cheap....

Worst yet, you got a fake 8GB with the cost of a good one.
Why did you not try to get a replacement? High street shops will exchange it easily.

Have a card that is readable/writable/formattable on PC but does not even show up on the HTC. Any ideas?
bump
bumping thread because I am having the same issue. Few days ago my card slot died, tried many cards which all work on pc but dont come up on my tilt. I noticed theres a change in ram .03mb when I insert the card but if i go to storage memory in settings it will state not installed. Also inserting the card would bring the phone out of standby. I am guessing its a hardware issue and that theres a different switch or something that tells the phone that a card is in which is why it comes out of standby but the part that actually reads the card doesnt work, probably a loose wire or something. Can anyone post who has experience taking the kaiser apart, I am a hands on guy who wouldn't mind taking it apart to see what could be the problem.
p.s I also flashed roms/radios since this issue and that did not resolve it.
Wow. I'm also bumping because I have this same problem! Borys hit the nail on the head.
I've discovered the Kaiser is very intolerant of FAT filesystems with issues. I've had mine twice see the card, but no contents, even though it looked fine on my laptop.
I ran a filesystem check on it and both times it found some minor errors, and then it was fine.
No need for any special utilities, just run a disk check in Windows, fsck.vfat in Linux, etc..

I am using a micro sd hc by kingston 8gb. I have been using this sd card for over a month now with now problems using about .5gb of space. I took my battery out of my tilt while powered on to reset the phone. Now the phone is reset fine and running but it says theres no sd card! I go to settings, memory, storage card and it says not installed. I took out the card put it back in several times no difference. I have an older sd card thats 1gb that i put into my phone and it reads it just fine. I then put the 8gb card back in and says not installed, what the hell? I also tried putting the 8gb storage card in my 8525 and it says not installed. Did my memory card die for some reason some how? Ive never heard of this and never had any problems with an sd card and ive been using them for years. Ive never played with the sd card, once i put it in the phone it stays there and i never take it out. Did maybe resetting the phone by taking the battery out while powered on somehow kill the sd card? Ive done this before with no ill effects. I dont understand, please help anyone. Hate to lose all the info and everything i have stored on my 8gb storage card. Thank you!
did u try to access it on a pc? if you success, move the contents to the pc, and format it, and then move the contents back.

No, my ghetto pc doesnt have a slot for the card. Need to get a usb slot thing for it but i really need this card working now. Doesnt make sense what would case this all of a sudden. Only thing i can think of his taking the battery out.
I think ive really tried everything except the pc method but dont think thats gonna work either. I put the sd card in my 8525 and had the same problem so its not just my tilt, its the card itself. I put an old 1gb card in my tilt and it read it just fine, same with my 8525. Im really stuck here guys and need help, i already contacted kingston tech since they offer a lifetime warrenty even though i got it free but what the hell? Some of the stuff on that card is really not replaceable, really need it. Thanks.

Chances are you need to format the card in a PC as fat32 and try it back on the kaiser. Go to Staples/BestBuy/Walmart and go get a 10$ usb microsdhc card reader. I have one and it works great. I got the Mobilemate Micro Reader and I wont go without it now.
I went to radio shack and for the same price I got one that will read eight types of cards, nifty tool to have around, it can read multiple cards at once

Oh yeah? Well mine is the size of your pinky fingernail when plugged in so HA
Having a micro reader around attached to my keyring ( With my old 4gb card in it ) is nice when im copying random files accross multiple computers. For work i can DL the file using Opera ( Drivers ) and simply pop my micro reader into the PC

Thats great guys but i need the info on the card that is irreplaceable. I could care less about the card, i get em for free. I really just need the files on the card to be recovered but my phone is having this problem and even my 8525 is having the problem with this card too. I ordered a keychain usb thing like what u got from cellphoneshop.net for like $6. Im assuming though if my tilt and 8525 cant read o reconize the card than either will my computer once plugged in. Unless the computer does something my 2 phones dont do to recover the files, i dont know since ive nver had an issue with an sd card before. I really need to recover the files then ill worry about the sd card working again or i could get another no problem but need the files back. What would case this problem, i dont get it? Did taking out my battery wile phone was powered on cause this and make a short erasing the card or something? I have takin the battery out of my phone numerous times while powered on and never had any problems before. How can i recover the files? Thanks!
Your going to have to research some file-recovery tools and try some of those, or send your card to one of those (expensive) places that perform file recovery.
Good luck.
/I feel your pain -- I once lost everything on a 1-gig card. Now, of course, i do regular backups.

Well before i had a 1gb card for over a year with my 8525 and my tilt with zero problems. I just got this 8gb card (really dont need one that high, just got it cus) about a month ago and still worked fine like the first one in my tilt. I actually used the dang sd card as my backup for files on my comp since my ghetto walmart computer likes to crash all the time. Now im screwed! What would i google or search for a file recovery program for my sd card? Worst comes to worst ima send it back to kingston since they have a lifetime warranty and tell them i need my damn files back and see if they will do it. Still waiting a response from their tech unit. Ive also searched this problem here on xda to see similar problems but no solutions. Theres gotta be a way, any ideas guys? Thank you!

How are these programs expensive? I just googled "sd card file recovery" and got tons of pages of freeware apps that recover. Problem here is it wont work with my sd card in my tilt and my tilt connected via usb activesync. It will check your computer or anything via usb but doesnt find or show my phone as a device for some reason. Stupid me didn't think about just stoppin by the store and picking up one of those sd flash usb things and instead ordered one online. Id hate to have to wasted another $10 and get one tomorrow then ill have 2. Any other ideas guys? I found this one to look pretty cool if anyone needs an app for this, http://data-recovery-professional.com/?k=Sd Card Data Recovery It seems to be freeware since i didnt see anything about paying and doesnt say register or anything like that while running the program. Check it out. Any other ideas though? Id really like to get to the bottom of this and find out how the hell this all happened in the first place? Thanks!
This site also seems to have some legit freeware programs for this too! http://www.pcinspector.de/Sites/task_manager/download.htm?language=1#
Yeah guys, i think im royally screwed now. I remembered i have a digital camera so i put in my sd card into the adapter so it would fit into my digital camera, then i could connect the camera via usb as a mass storage device then use the freeware program to get my files back, sounds great right? Well after i put in the card the camera displays "Card Error" and connecting via usb the computer doesnt display the storage device, probably because the card is screwed. Did i fry my sd card somehow in my tilt? I really cant think of how to fix this now. Ill get a sd card reader that plugs into the usb and try that but my digital camera i think is doing the same thing. Ill probably just get the same "card error" after plugging my sd card into the usb adapter. What do you guys think?

card reader + file recovery software is the way to go
also, work slowly, don't panic, and don't attempt to write anything on your card if you got it to work until you pull all your data off of it with the file recovery software.
even if you somehow could format it, the file recovery software could still retrieve some of your files, so, again don't panic, unless the card circuitry is just fried, there is hope

Im gonna try to get a card reader tomorrow even though i already ordered one online but i need these files asap! Problem here is NO Device reconizes my sd card now. My 8525 doesnt show it when i put it in, my digital camera says card error and doesn read how, how will a card reader read it if none of these other devices will? I tried using my digital camera as a card reader but nothing comes up. Tech support from kingston emailed me bck just saying that warranty echange is going to contact me and send me a new card. I just emailed them back saying i could care less about the card but need the files! Hopefully i can send my card in and they can recover the files and mal them back on a fresh card. Until then, ima try to get a card reader today or tomorrow and try i out.

Im assuming you are using the SAME MicroSD to SD card adapter when swapping between your cam and phone. Make sure you are buying a card reader that will work WITHOUT an adapter. It MUST take microSDHC and read it without the use of any other device. Ive had issues with 3 sd to microsd adapters already. All 4 of my Microsdhc cards work great even though i had the issue of not being readable in the phones.

Oh shoot, i dont remember. Ill go on the site to make sure but i think it needs the adapter and can do it without the adapter. If thats the case then ill for sure get one tomorrow somewhere, any ideas where for a cheap price? Still dont understand while all of a sudden my tilt, 8525, and digital camera suddenly cant read this card anymore. Thanks for the heads up bro.
Hows This?
This is the one i ordered yesterday online, http://www.cellphoneshop.net/usbcareforts.html

That reader doesnt show microSDHC as a compatible card ..... not too sure if its going to work......
Here is the exact one im using and have been using it for months. Works wonderfully I keep my old 4gb card in it when its on my keyring and swap my 8gb card to move files to my kaiser.
i had no real idea where to put this, so since i will be using it in my nook i figured id try here.
Wintec microSD class10 16Gb
i bought this new micro SD card for my nook. i put it into my card reader to format it (fat32 is the only option).
when i quick format it goes fine, then i try and put stuff on it and i get a dependency error and windows explorer crashes (not responding).
when i do the regular format, it gets all the way to the end and says "fromat can not be completed" and windows explorer crashes (not responding).
try it in another computer with the exact same results. is the SD card bad? i havent done anything with it. i took it out of the package and straight into the card reader.
bought it from newegg. should i contact newegg first or wintec?
You aren't the only one that has had problems with that card.
I have one and it works, but speeds are class 4 at best. A little under that actually.
Here's the story and info.
I got the Blu R1 HD (prime special) went down to Target and bought thier DANE 64GB CL10 MicroSD for $20. Plugged it in and formatted it as internal storage. (A cautionary not then said, "if formatted as internal memory SD card will ONLY work in this device) I chose, who cares and continued.
Worked great for a day or two ... but then it happened ... it went missing! All the apps and data was gone. A notification popped up and said, "Transcendent SD card missing. reinsert this device". I did as the all knowing phone asked but to no avail, it wouldn't recognize it.
I rebooted the phone and a massage popped up saying "system properties not responding. Wait or Quit" I've tried both options, doesn't seem to make a difference.
I tried reformatting it in the phone and it wouldn't unmount. Tried on our computers (both pc and Mac) and neither computers were allowed access to the sd card to reformat it.
I then returned the sd card thinking that it might be flawed, got another one from Target and it worked great ... for about two weeks... Then went missing.
Did everything mentioned above. Got the new one and it worked for 4 weeks, thought my problems were over ... then the SD card ran away again and is now currently missing. The phone does not recognize that there is a sd card when looking for it in a file explorer. In settings it says the sd card is corrupted.
Is my phone messed up? I'd it the brand of SD card? Is there a way to make the phone recognize the sd card?
Please help me find my missing sd card.
Same problem, SD Card is showing as corrupted. I have it installed as internal storage and have for over a month with no problems. SD is a Patriot LX 64gb. I haven't changed anything on the phone. I have not fine anything but reseat the SD. Any help is massively appreciated!
Maybe the problem is using a 64GB MicroSD Card. The phone specs say it's supports up to 32GB only.

That is incorrect it supports 64GB SD, many report success with 128GB cards, so I doubt its an issue with size...

Is good to know I'm not the only one!
Have you been able to reformat the sd card? Or will it not allow you to do so?

I have not tried, I'm clinging to hope I might be able to salvage my pictures.

Okay I caved and tried to reformat it, and all it does is fail, or drops off half-way as though I had removed the card. If I try to put the card in my computer or any other device it just straight doesn't exist, doesn't even say it isn't compatible or anything, just straight doesn't exist. Think the card is just bad, gonna return it and get a new one, will see what happens.
I have had a SANDISK Micro SDXC UHS-1 64GB CARD in mine for almost 5 months now and no issues.
I see I'm not the only one with this issue, although mine is a little different... I got a generic 128gb card and plugged it in, has been issue free for months... BUT, lately and for what seems like no apparent reason, the card guess missing... Rebooting the phone sees the card again with all apps and photos intact. It could be weeks/days/hours/minutes before it happens again... Shortest turn around - about 10 minutes. Longest - about 2 weeks... Haven't tried plugging the card directly into my computer yet, but when it is mounted on the phone it works fine (until it goes missing). Thought maybe it was because it was a cheap card...
