I am getting big problem with my Sandisk 8gb micro sdcard.
i mount it with pc via galaxy mini a pop menu came up (scan and fix) i clicked continue without scanning then it shows 6.22 gb free of 6.96 gb (rest is used in 2nd partition). i copy files to sdcard (copy some ROMS and GAPPS). Un-mount sdcard.
Now problem started, i open file explorer and not able to find my files whc i copied.
than again tried to copy, resulted fail.
so decided to format sdcard. For first time when i try to format it showed (Windows cannot complete format) than tried with CMD same problem bad sector filled with zeros. than tried with SD card Formatter (software) but it said card it write protected.
after some time when i tried to format it formatted successfully
so i unmount but boom when i re mount it showed me all the same files before being format.
i try to format again it successfully formatted but after un mount and re mount same files are seen.
Any Help?

How would i click "cancel" if the scan with fix thing is "finished". as you said... ?
If it's finished then it's good, I just told you what to do when it stops with full green bar and "cancel" button (like in my case)

it is finished, tried 4-5 times but every time it is completely finished.
any software to give HARD format to sd card. ?
For me it hanged at the very end, but if it finished for you, it's good if that error still shows up, make a backup of important stuff an go to recovery, choose "mounts and storage", and format SD card. When it's done, boot up your phone and plug in to PC. If you can't access SD card, format it again, but this time from PC.

You too have some strange files left on it? Care to post names of them?
if you have a Nokia s40 series mobile then use it to format
mime was showing corrupted and was not mounting, I formatted it with 2690 and it was working again
No, no strange file names. When I try to format it via CWM it gets stuck, via Minitool it formats but after it shows unfformated partition or unusable partition, then I check and my files are all there. Tried with windows formatting, gets stuck too...

Well, i don't see anything strange on this screenshot...
It happened after formatting it with NTFS (it was a temporary thing so I can use it with one of Microsoft services), and my device is working and rebooting properly without any error messages..So what can I do now to make my SD working again?
(I don't really need the data that was on it, I just need the card to work)
Thanks..

try formatting the card from within CWM, i presume if you boot up the phone you can't mount/unmount it and subsequently format it from within Android.
but i would try fromating it as FAT32 from within Windows 7 first, NTFS is not supported by Android to the best of my Knowladge...
Thanks, yes I can't format it in Android since i can't mount it, I've already tried formatting it from CWM with no luck, it showed this:
Formatting /sdcard...
Error mounting /sdcard!
Skipping format...
Done.
And windows doesn't see the card at all when I connect phone to PC, so I can't use windows to format it too.

Turned out you're right, the problem is android not being able to handle NTFS properly, I tried to format external SD card with NTFS to see what will happen, and I had the EXACT same symptoms, but of course I removed from phone and had it formatted using card reader and it's working properly now with my phone..
xsenman
The problem now is that windows can't see internal card at all, I've tried one of format tools form the link you put, but it didn't help since phone "doesn't allow" windows to detect the memory, any other way to do it? right now I'm trying this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1724078
It seems like it isn't easy to install NTFS support from the link above (since you need fuse.ko file that should be compiled for both your device and ROM), is there any kernal that support NTFS or any other easy way to do it?
If you are talking about your external sd just format at fat32. This is standard for sdcards and your phone wil reconize your card..
Unfortunately it is the internal one..

Finally, I found a solution, just do the following (I tried it and it worked):
1. First install the drivers ONLY if you haven`t already installed them, also if you have Kies installed there is no need to install these drivers, but you are better off installing these anyway : http://dev-host.org/ZRA
2. Download this package (it includes i9000 stock rom+kernel+odin) : http://dev-host.org/RAE, if you have a Captivate or a Vibrant just download a stock rom for your phone model and find a kernel which has root and cwm in it.
NOTE : The next step will require using the 3 key combo for accessing the clockworkmod recovery and also the download mode.The 3 key combo used below is for the Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000. If you own a Captivate or a Vibrant please click this link and choose your phone model to see what 3 key combo must be used, as it differs from one phone model to another : http://tinyurl.com/6q6ajpx
3. After you have extracted all the contents you downloaded and installed drivers, put your phone into download mode using the 3 key combo : volume DOWN + home button+power button, keep those pressed until it goes into download mode.
4. Connect phone to PC via USB Cable and open Odin (windows should detect the phone and install some drivers, after it`s finished you should see the message "Added!" in Odin which means Odin succesfully detected your phone so now you are ready to flash)>check Re-Partition Option>press PIT button and browse for the s1_odin_20100512.pit file, press BOOTLOADER button and browse for the APBOOT… file, press PDA button and browse for the CODE….file, press PHONE button and browse for the MODEM….file, press CSC button and browse for the GT-I9000-CSC….file. PRESS START button and wait for the green pass notification in Odin.
• When the phone reboots into the rom, wait for the setup wizard to appear and then just use the 3 key combo into the download mode again.
Close Odin and open it again> press PDA button and browse for CF-Root…file> Press START button and wait for the green pass notification in Odin.

No need to do all this.
Just:
- remove external sd card (if you have one inserted)
- reboot into CWM-based recovery
- mounts and storage
- mount USB storage
You will be able to see and format, FAT32, the disk using windows

I tried your method, but selecting "Mount USB" was throwing the error i mentioned in my last post. Though i solved it eventually. Somehow i ended up in the phone's own recovery/bootloader menu, had an option of "Low level format" there. Took around an hour or so .. but it worked :good:
Hello.
I have a problem with the tab..
was running CM 10.1.2 (4.2.2) for a while now and was working just fine.
a few days ago it got stucked...
to be exact - i was playing music with jungo, opend the notification drawer to enable the BT and it got stucked (the music still kept playing though)
a reseted it (with the power botton) and it got into a bootloop.
i tried reinstalling the rom and the kernel - not helping.
now, i think there is a problem with the DATA partiotion... everythnig i do in recovery that touches this partiotion causes the device to reboot (into the bootloop)
Wipe dalvik cache, Fix permissions. Format Data, Factory reset - All of these causes a reboot.
also creating a NAND backup, while reaching the DATA backup causes a reebot.
that is why i cant reinstall the tab - no way to format the DATA partiotion...
the thing is - i dont mid trying repartition with ODIN - but first i have some information i really need to backup first.
in recovery i see the SDCARD, can access all the files - but can't mount it to the computer in RECOVERY mode to access the files, or to copy any other installations in there...
i would really really apreciate the help - mostly to be able to access the data on the card
Thanks in advance

Can't you flash a stock firmware through odin??
then you should be able to access your sdcard and backup your files, and then you can flash whatever you want.

Well your sdcard shouldn't be formatted, you should be able to see your files inside "/sdcard/0" folder.

if your tab is getting recognized on your PC as a camera, then all you need to do is checking the "Media device (MTP)" option in:
"Settings>Storage>{press three dots in the top right corner}>USB computer connection>Media device (MTP)"
then disconnect your tab and reconnect it, and everything should work fine.

i found the solution. if you did a backup it will work. in cwmr you navigate: backup and restore and confirm,than navigate to advanced restore and confirm. you will get a backup file,confirm on that file,now navigate to restore sd-ext and confirm and wait.after done,reboot. now works with no problems. i had same problem,i downloaded 5 roms for htc from this site(developers) and all have same annoying thing with external card. if i restore my whole system always work.so problem are those roms,something is not made it properly sigh.
