Today, I divided the Internet into a laptop via usb. Everything worked perfectly, until I switched off the phone from the computer. After then, I faced with the phone's internal memory and SD card's contains also completely disappeared ... Everything, the images, the downloads, backups, music .. all. External Sd card also was empty. It looks as if both would have formatted. Now, I wrote nothing to them.
Is there some way to recovery them? Have you met someone with similar problems?
My OS .: cm12.1 (2015 12 24); Kernel .: L-M5 v10.2; Xposed V78;
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello. This is my first post, but I have been a reader for a while. I recently bought Samsung Galaxy Note. Rooted it using the ZergRush exploit and installed CriskeloROM v0.6.
It worked perfect for a week, but then something wierd happened.
On my way to work I got out of the door and opened spotify as usual, but the screen just blinked and the app didn't start. When I looked into this it seems as if the phone won't recognize the SD card.
Saying that the phone won't recognize the SD card isn't entirely true. The phone know the card is there, but it appears as full.
USB storage: Total space 11.08GB - Available space - 0.00B, not even a single byte.
When I hook the phone to a pc, I can see that I in fact have about 8GB of free space. I can also without problem browse all the files as if nothing was wrong.
The things I know I have done that might interfere with it is that the other day I was going to copy some wallpapers into my phone. To do this I was required to encrypt the disk station using BitLocker. I have also by accident disconnected my phone without dismounting.
I have done alot of searches in google and on this site, but I have yet to find someone with the exact same problem as me.
I have tried to take out the battery and leaving it out for 15 minutes.
I excuse the wall of text and my poor english.
Thank you

When you boot into recovery and mount internal SD is the info correct there?
Thanks for the answer!
When I boot into recovery, witch I thought was CWM but witch turns out to be HyperDroid RedPill Recovery, probably changed when I installed the ROM (?), I can choose
- Mount internal SD
Witch leads me away from the menu and into a new little menu.
"USB Mass Storage device. Leaving this menu unmount your SD card from you PC.
-Unmount
-+++++Go Back+++++
And that's it.
However when I try to actually do a recovery (the recovery file is in the internal SD) I get the message:
"HyperDroid RedPill Recovery
E: Unable to write to usm lunfile (No such file or directory)Error mounting /sdcard!
E:Can't mount /sdcard"
do you have an external sd card in the phone? some kernels seem to swap the internal and external about
No I do not. Thanks for the answers guys!
I have a problem. I have a 4GB sandisk sd card. Yesterday when I was on stock DDKQ8 ( with other apps installed ). After flashing cwm, I partitioned to have 1GB ext on my sd using cwm. Partitioning took unevenly very long time. But after completion, I connected phone to pc & on opening easus partition manager, it did not read any partition on my sd. I ran the partition recovery wizard but with no use. I tried resizing the primary partition ( now it was reduced to 2.67 GB ) but the option was grey ( unavailable ). Then I disconnected phone & flashed sgs2 rom. But during wiping, when I opted the wipe data/factory reset option, my phone got stuck at formatting sd-ext. I took out battery & tried repartitioning sd card via cwm. This time it was a bit faster & I got through the wiping quickly & flashed the rom. Flashed d2ext+ & rebooted. In storage option under settings, I found that my internal memory was successfully extended. I was able to install apps & everything was working normally. Thinking that my sd was back on track, I reconnected phone to pc just to verify that the partition was recognized by it. But to my surprise, easus still showed no partition. Now I'm stuck. How do I delete the partition without having to see it ? Will my sd be permanently restricted to reduced memory ? Please help.
Some additional info :
A couple of days ago my friend had brought a pen drive which contained some important files. On connecting it to my pc, windows asked me to scan & fix. I did, but later on data transfer to/from it got really slow & I saw that windows explorer wasn't responding. As he was from the neighbouring town, we couldn't afford to lose the data & somehow after random connecting & disconnecting, I managed to copy the files onto my pc. I formatted the pen drive but the slowpoke problem prevailed. And now I wonder if this in anyway has troubled my sd. Doubting this, I formatted my C:/ drive & reinstalled my windows, in case there were viruses. But the problem was still the same. Thought there might be viruses in my backup files. Ran a boot time scan using avast! for over 2hrs. Found a couple of minor pups. Deleted them & rebooted. But still the same. Unrecognized ( not shown at all, just the primary partition is being shown ) partition by easus. All the drivers are definitely correctly installed by me. I tried copying files to another sd of mine. Even this was awefully slow. Can anyone help me out ?

you can cwm partitions by wiping data and other things.
I recommend you to use mini tool partition wizard to make partitions

I already know that but thanks for replying anyway ! I some how managed to get back my sd to its full capacity but the data transfer from pc is extremely slow ( just 24kbps !!! ). I tried this on another pc but same result. So I'm sure it should be the problem with the sd itself. I had a 5 yr warranty on it. Will I get a replacement ?

Actually my friend, it doesn't matter what partition tool you use. As long as you know how to use it, you'll get the same results with each but thanks for trying to help !

Hello.
This is my first post.
I have seen the noob video, I know I am not special. And still:
I have searched the forums, but my problem is different. Most of the posters don't know what caused this error. I know what caused mine. I have actually unexpectedly removed the SD Card. Kind of. Funny story: transferring data (green bar on windows not loaded at all, window stuck on calculating time/finding files etc -technically no data has been transferred), windows explorer decides to go all "Not responding" on me (thank you microsoft). The genius in me tells me to unplug the phone, so I do. Yay! explorer.exe is ok now. Too bad my SD card isn't.
There are some files on it... but none of the folders that I created, so I lost everything except photos and stuff. I have backed them up on my PC. When I connect my phone (which I have to do manually by going into USB settings so that my PC recognizes anything -auto play doesn't appear anymore-), instead of showing up as my phone, it shows up as a media device with stuff on it (folders like Android, DCIM, but none of my manually created folders containing music etc.).
I repeat, I have actually unexpectedly removed my SD card.
I right clicked on the drive in the PC and clicked Format. It warned me. I didn't care, I was desperate. In just one second, it said formatting complete. No files missing, however (still those Android, DCIM etc. folders).
I have a Samsung Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070 (this forum section, I think). I have flashed the I9070XXLQ4 (android 4.1.2) from Russia on it (a few weeks ago). Not root, or any custom ROM's.
Recap. I have unexpectedly removed my SD card. I want my games back. Or at least formatting it, making it usable.
Formatting the SD card from the phone settings has done it. I am a noob.
try formatting the sdcard on your phone thru the settings>storage..
re-download all your games or transfer them on the sdcard after the format.. if you have back up on your pc or other storage..
as for your pc.. try a reboot.. to correct the drivers of your phone as storage device..

Thanks, I've managed to do that before you posted (but I'm a noob and I can't edit posts so quickly). It did it. Although I was hoping not to lose everything.

is your sdcard a genuine one?.. no offense.. but there are a lot of fake sdcards in the market today..
actually i have a fake one.. its 8gb.. now, half of it is corrupted already.. my tablet hung due to it..
Hi guys.
I hope it's not the wrong thing to revive this old thread.
I was recently installing an RUU onto my phone. After the install completed, the phone restarted and it began checking the SD card again for an RUU - and it found one, as I had not by then removed/renamed it. So, after waiting for it to verify the RUU, selecting "no" to installing it, it restarted again and again it started looking for an RUU. By this time, I was getting impatient, so I tried to remove the SD card quickly before any actual data access happened.
WRONG
My SD card became RAW, inaccessible to Android or Windows. Testdisk and various free versions of paid-for undelete tools (like EaseUS) found only files from waaaaay back, before I had ever used the card in Android. As a precaution, I took two RAW copies of the full card onto two harddisks and compared the MD5 of each (match).
A little wary of the risk of using various features of testdisk, I thought the best thing to do next was a format (not quick format) to exFAT in windows and run all the undelete tools again. No results. Then I found this thread and, as suggested, tried formatting using Android. All software returned no results again.
What else can I do? The contents of the card should still be as they were (unless the formatting twice effected that). Am I correct to assume that the card (128gb) would have been formatted exFAT by Android 5/6?
In testdisk, are "superblock" or "boot" forms of recovery any relevance to me?
Thank you!
(PS: Android is working fine, I'm only having problems with the SD card contents)
tl;dr - After installing CM 12.1 Stable on my XT1072 (UK Retail), everything worked fine. Suddenly, the SD card just disappeared and refused to mount or erase, but the card shows up on my PC and TWRP. Was thinking that reverting to stock firmware could fix it but couldn't find the ROM. If you have the stock ROM, please send! Other than that, any other solutions?
Hi everyone,
This is my first post here, and after searching around, I can't find any solutions for my problem. So, here it is:
Through TWRP 3.0.0.0, I installed the most recent stable version of CM 12.1 (Lollipop 5.1.1) after bad experiences of CM 13 nightlies. Everything was working fine and I started reinstalling my core apps. Once I installed my main daily apps (and no games), I started copying my music collection from my PC to my 16GB Kingston SD-HC card. Everything was going well, then suddenly, when I unlocked my phone, the SD card was just gone. I checked Solid File Explorer Pro (what I use) and it only showed 'root' and 'internal storage'. My music app said my collection was empty. When checking the Storage section of settings, it only showed my internal storage. Under that, there was an option to mount my SD card or erase it. When I tap mount, it flashes with my SD card's information for a second but then disappears. When trying to erase the SD card, it says that the card is being checked although nothing actually happens.
I searched up multiple forums which didn't help, so I figured maybe it's just the ROM. I tried to find the stock firmware (5.0.2) for my phone but couldn't find it. If anyone has it, maybe reverting to stock will help? Anyway, as I couldn't find the stock firmware, I decided to carry on with CM 12.1 for the moment.
I rebooted multiple times and nothing worked. Then, I booted up without the SD card inserted. Then, when inserted, it said it was checking the card for errors. It did this for around ten seconds, but still, it showed up as mounted for a split second before going again. I went to TWRP and the SD card was mounted and working, but when booted up, my phone refused to mount the SD card.
This led me onto searching how to manually mount the SD card but all of that made no sense to me (this is my second time flashing a ROM) and I kind of gave up there. And here I am! What do I do? Please someone help! Thanks even for reading, though.
Have a great day! (Hopefully with a fully-functional phone )
I have ret.eu and no issues using cm 13
Hi, I just upgraded yesterday my XT1068 to Android MM (Nexus Experience [http://goo.gl/Qc87Q7]).
And I was delighted to see the option to use my Samsung MicroSD card as internal memory. I installed all the apps I use frequently, restarted the phone and everything was fine till here.
I formatted my micro SD as internal memory, copied music, pictures and stuff using MTP to my SD, installed several apps and uninstalled some other that I didn't need anymore (Like 'Facebook Lite'). Wanted then to restart my phone to recovery mode, but it was restarting for ever and stuck with the rebooting animation, so I decided to press the power button for 3-5 sec to force shutdown the phone. But when my phone started again, everything I copied to the SD was gone, and files I removed were there again, apps like 'Facebook Lite' were mysteriously installed again as if I would have never uninstalled them.
In the launcher, all my icons and folders I organized, reverted to the positions and state I had before, last time I restarted my phone (before the forced restart when I lost the data).
What happened here? Looks somehow as if the partition table is being written back to the SD or phone memory when you are turning off the phone.. and remains in RAM during use.. Seriously?
Did such a thing happen to anybody else here? Is this how the new Android works? Every time your phone crashes or something, you'll loose all pictures and data that changed since last restart?..
Any information on this is highly appreciated.. Thanks.

i have a similar situation with my sd card and my xt1063, at the beggining i choose the option which makes the sd to save files and media. today the phone turned off because the battery was empty, at the time that i tried to turn on the phone it says that the sd card need format and now when i connect the sd card to the pc it is in RAW format. i think that the new system for "initializating" sd cards is broken or something, or simply we have bad luck or else.
edit: i have stock android 6.0 retla
sorry for my english pls
