Hi,
I lost my P9 on Saturday night and instantly carried out a Android Device Manager wipe (not sure if this was succesful or not) - Does anybody know if this wipe will also delete the contents of the SD card?
If not, does anybody know any way of remotely wiping an SD card?
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm unable to access some apps moved to my external SD. I think the card is corrupt, what will happen if i format it? will i loose my app data that i moved? will i loose my saved game states? please note that i'm unable to write files to external SD even via a USB - PC connection! but i can read data ( watch videos ) on external SD, no write protect in the card. Tried reboot, dust the card and put back in.
Also uninstalling apps installed on phone memory doesn't clear space, i'm running out of space on my phone memory too :|
And if i do factory reset, does the firmware also get reset to stock ROM? Please help!
No root, stock room.

before you format the sd card make sure you have ticked the keep backup of this device option in backup settings. This is save all your app data on google servers and when you reinstall the same app the data will be retained.
factory reset will delete all the apps that you have installed and will make your phone as fresh as new. you will not loose any ota firmware updates of rom.
I'm having this problem all of a sudden...
I don't know how to fix this..
I try to change on other ROM but same result.
Please help me guys...
If I download something from xplorer it will display SD card unavailable.
If I open play store it will suddenly close...
Unfortunately Google play store stopped........
Also I can't access my internal storage.....
I use twrp

Wipe data,system,cache and data/media (internal sd card).
Format your external sd card via recovery or PC. (optional)
I think it's happening due to corrupt file system.Though if the problem is within your internal SD card instead of external one, there is no need to format external sd card.

You might still want to wipe data/media after sw update.It only wipes data, system and cache and not data/media.
I know this because I've had my internal sd card (data/media) corrupted before, preventing my phone from booting.Was only able to fix it via recovery, by wiping internal sd card.Stock, CWM or TWRP a wipe should do it.But SW update doesn't format internal sd card.

welp I may be screwed, but thought I would ask the pros.
I always back up my sdcard personal files, but the media files (music I don't). I have a 128GB card and I am trying to save myself some rebuild time.
I encrypted my external 128gb sd card in android (I have my data backed up thank goodness), but I have full wiped the phone, to install a new rom (full wipe and factory reset).
I have rest the screen password to the same encrypted password, yet when I reboot the phone (installed new rom from separate external sd card since TWRP wont write from an encrypted sd card), the phone is fine, but the card is still being shown as "checking sdcard for errors"
is there any way to restore access to the encrypted card since I full wiped? I know that I can just reformat the card back to fat32, but I really don't want to sit and transfer 100gb of flac files again.
Hi guys,
I have hard-reset my Moto G 2nd Gen after some confusion. I have taken the SD card out of the phone before resetting it. Now after hard-reset, when I insert my SD card into the phone, it says "Unsupported SanDisk SD card" and ask me to format it to use either as a portable storage or as internal storage.
This card has some important data of mine, e.g. Photos, whatsapp backup and few other backups. How can I solve this problem? I want to use this card as is in phone. Can I take backup of it's data if it's required to format this card?
I know I have asked too many questions, I hope you can understand my situation here. :crying:
If your SD card was formatted as internal storage it's almost impossible to get the information back since when you format an SD card as internal storage it gets encrypted and the key is stored in the device, so when you hard reseted your phone the key was lost, that's why it can't be identified.

as you said "almost impossible", is there any way to get the info back? Moreover, if I had left the card in the phone, would it have changed the encryption of sd card?
It most probably would've been the same if you had left the card in the phone. By the way you may want to take a look a this "Decrypting Android M adopted storage"

Thank you for sharing this page. This is a very good article, but it talks about having the key from device, which I certainly don't have. So, it seems I can't use this method to recover my data.
I, however, used some data recovery software on this card, which would show some data, but not all. Can you suggest me some good software to recover data from this card?

Hello. Did you ever figure out how to get the data off your SD card? I am in the same boat. I thought I was safe having everything backed up on there, but, nope...
Thank you
Hello,
I believe I have a problem with internal memory card... Full wiping not working sometimes (says it cannot mount '/system'), and time to time new image installation stops on the extraction phase...
Is there any way to format internal card except TWRP wiping?..
Or maybe there's some other way to reliably clean up the intermal card?
Please advice.
Format from settings and just delete everything on phone. Let phone boot then Odin. Alternatively twrp has option to wipe internal, just be sure you have backup and new rom on external before you wipe.
