EMERGENCY! sd card error - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

my card is a GSkill 32gb class 10. a bit ago i copied some movies to it, nearly to the brim. then the phone just went crazy and showed mounting and unmounting sd again and again. so i restarted it and then the phone said sd card corrupted, format it. plugging in the data cable didnt work so i used a card reader to plug the sd to pc. there it showed sd is full but the only files i could see was some game data files on android/obb folder and LOST something folder. i moved those files from the sd and plugged it to the phone again but still nothing. then in a forum i saw something
put your sd card into any phone which can be used as usb storage(exposes the sd as a drive in MS Windows).
I used Win 7.
Alternatively you could use any micro sd to sd adapter and then plug it in directly in your laptop/computer or n a card reader connected to the computer through USB.
Start command prompt with administrative privileges: Right click on desktop and choose new shortcut and type cmd at command line.Next right click the cmd icon and select Run as Administrator.
Type in the newly popped out window:
chkdsk <drive letter of the sd>: /r
Wait for the process to finish.
Remove sd and put it back into the phone.
Job done! ;0)

tried it,it said the file system is fixed but still its the same. sd is full but no files are visible. i CAN NOT loose my files in the sd. so please someone help me to recover them

Can the files be seen on the phone? Saying: use any file explorer to see if you can enter the external SD and its files.

card works now on the phone. windows checkdisk have backed up all the files to FOUND.000 and FOUND.001 folders. tried to recover from them but only the pictures are working, everything else is corrupted

If you want to check the card for errors then use this program it's an exe file that requires no installation basicly it will fill the card with data then empty it and report back on data lost/corrupted you would need a card reader as this won't work through a phone http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/H2testw.shtml

can't find your app on play store

It is a PC program.. IF you install this you are able to fully check your Harddrives and SD card when mounted as MSC or as usb

we can write stuff into the card in our phone, but not by connecting to the PC then choose Mass Storage / Kies to copy file over there
I can write things by taking the card out of my phone and put it in pc and copy things over but when i connect my phone to pc i can't transfer anything across.

There's a workaround. Not a good one, but at least it works. You can get full r/w access to the external sd card from within Kies, with the horrible Kies file-explorer.

Nope, the external card is still r/o when seen through USB storage in windows
tried changing the permissions in root explorer as well, no joy.
There is a easy way how to solve this. Plug in the cable, select Kies (on the phone), u dont have to run kies on your PC, after the Kies is running on your phone, on your pc there should be mobile phone connected, go there and there are both cards(in, ext) and u can use them.
i also have the same problem with the sd card :/

Phone can't detect SD card

Hi,
My phone is not able to detect my SD card, All i did was copy a file from a friends laptop using HTC Desire HD data cable... Now my phone wont detect the SD card... Internal memory is detected normally... The SD card is detected normally on my friends Phone, however its not working on mine...
I though it was a software issue, so I reflashed stock JVQ and then Darky's ROM however it still wont show... Any other SD card is detected normally on my Phone, however mine wont get detected no matter what i do...
Any ideas what happened... I only copied a video file... I've even deleted the file and tried however it still doesn't work...
Pls Help!!!

Press thanks if this helps
Does it read in a PC?
If so copy contents off onto PC, reformat SD card as FAT32, then copy contents back over.
Try to format the card on your PC.

I've got the card formatted on my friends phone and then gave it an shot... however it still didn't work... Not sure what else can be done... any other card works fine...
What company and class is your sd card?
same problem.
I've had the same problem. It seems to occur when you disconnect the USB cable from you're phone while files are being transferred. Though I've also had this problem multiple times when the USB cable wasn't even connected to my phone.
You can try to use a microSD-to-usb-converter to backup the files and format it with 'SD Formatter 3.0' from sdcard.org (I'm not permitted to post links yet). Then try to format the microSD again with you're phone and it should work. I recommend you don't put any backupped files back on your microSD since they could have corrupted the microSDcard's filesystem.

Phone wont accept sd card data

So just today I got my phone working with CM 9 and everything works but the phone wont accept my SD card data.
If I go to the gallery it says I need a SD card, so it didn't recognize it but if I go to the file manager I can open my SD card and see all my files it I still can't access them. For example a song I had on the SD card I can see it but it won't let me listen to it.
I'm sure that the SD card isn't broken or anything it works fine on other phones and it did work on this phone until I installed CM 9.
Does anyone know of a solution?

There's two ways to do it first I suggest you back up the files to your PC then place you sdcard back in your phone go to storage and format the external card that way or once you've backed up the sdcard whilst it is still connected to our PC right click on our sdcard and format should list of options

SD Card problem

Hello people on XDA.
I have a little problem here regarding installing custom rom on my littlesisters Xperia X8.
In order to do anything, I need to be able to browse the SD card.
I've downloaded File Manager from Android Market and I'm able to see the content from the SD card on the PHONE.
When I connect the phone to my PC with USB (PC Comparion installed) i get a new device called Phone Card - everything seems good... at least for now. 2GB card, allright. 127mb space left. Allright.
I open the SD Card.. and there's only a tons of SHORTCUTS.. and I can't open these. I'm not near of browsning the same SD card as I am on the phone. What the hell is wrong? No DCIM folder, which is basically the only folder I need to backup for her before flashing.
TL;DR: I can browse the SD card on the phone when not connected with USB, when connected the phone can't find the SD card nor can I browse the SD card on the PC cause it doesn't show the same content.
Any help will be appreciated.. been googling for hours!!
Thanks
Daniel
Try the sd card with a card reader or another phone and see if its ok.
If not, format it(you will lose the cotent,sorry but I don't see any other way)
If it is ok(I think it will be ok,because at the phone it doesn't have any problem) then backup what you want and format it,if you don't want to format it then just put what you need to install a custom rom and put the sd back to x8
