SD card no longer recognized after Oreo update - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

SM950UI (unlocked), Android 8.0.0 Android security patch July 1, 2018.
My 256Gb external SD card worked just fine before Oreo update. Recently, I received a message that the card was corrupted, and that I should reformat it, which I attempted to do on the phone, without success (kept telling me to reformat it). Shut down phone, removed SD card, attached it to PC, which also claimed it was corrupted. Formatted it again on the PC. Re-inserted into phone and powered up. It re-appeared as storage, and so I moved some programs over to it. A few days later, I noticed the apps/programs that I moved over to it were missing and checked the storage on the phone. Now it shows no existence of the SD card, corrupted or not. It's just "disappeared". The card is a Samsung one, but can't remember where I bought it (Amazon vs Ebay vs Samsung, but the last unlikely).
Any suggestions, please?
Thanks

I am having this same problem on my galaxy tab s3. Card is a 128gb Samsung brand. It worked perfectly till the update to 8.1 oreo.
Has anyone discovered the cause and a solution?
Kind Regards,

In my experience, this sd problem háppens from time to time, since I began using these cards some of them have failed in various circumstances, sometimes just ejecting and reinserting them is all it takes, well, I dont know, I have learned to accept that, in the end,, when a card fails,, it is just bad luck

Last month I just testing my 128GB sandisk to my friend's S9 plus and it went dark. No SD card detected. I don't know why or how it got damage. Never had issue with microsd, ever.

People seem to get this corrupted card message when they have a habit of just removing them without first doing the unmount sd card thing first

fd up my card with loads of important data by putting it in my note 8 too lol

I'll say that since maybe September, my Note 8 has had a lot more instances of the SD Card not showing up after a reboot. Sometimes it takes 2-3 reboots to get it to show up.
I haven't had any issues of corruption, just outright failure of the phone/os recognizing the device.

SD Card Corruption with Nexus One (has happened twice)

Twice in the last two months my 16 GB Class 6 AData microSDHC memory card has popped up as being "corrupt" and needed reformatting after powering back up from reboot on my Nexus One.
The first time happened on CM 5.0.3.1, the second time was with CM 5.0.4.1 with the UV kernel. Both times, data could not be read either through the N1, my old G1, or my friend's Droid. Thus a reformat was required and data loss ensued.
Anyone else experiencing occasional data corruption on their SD card? Another friend had it happen to his G1 with an 8 GB microSDHC memory card recently, running the latest CM for the G1, also on reboot and battery swap.
Is there a common thread here? Could it be HTC hardware-related? CM software-related? Just coincidentally two bad memory cards? Me using chinese replacement batteries when swapping out? The UV kernel? Not trying to point fingers or throw stones, just trying to get to the bottom of this...just lost some great pics of a recent vacation I just got back from. Suggestions or hints are welcome!
TIA!
this has happened to me a few times but I was still able to get my data through amon-ra recovery. I think it have something to do with an improper dismount of the card.
I'm curious, what brand of memory were your friends using?
I actually had this happen when my n1 was still stock (16gb class6 card)
I put the sd card in a card reader on my pc, everything was intact so I backed it up, reformatted and still had the n1 report it was corrupt. I ended up having to shut down, remove card, boot up w/o a sd card in, then with the sd card back in I never had the problem again
I know I did a full format the very first time, that 2nd time I had done a quick format. I've done a format recently also via amonra for ext partition and still no problems.
I happend to me few weeks ago. After turned it on ... I couldn't do anything because the screen was black and any key or type of touch was useful ... so I removed the battery and at the next start the SD wasn't readable anymore!
sry 4 my bad english!
erikikaz:
i'm running a 16 GD Class 6 AData memcard in my N1, my friend is running an 8 GB class 6 SanDisk memcard in his G1. Neither of us is running Apps2SD or anything weird.
glad to see i'm not the only one with this issue. was gonna buy a new 16 GB card but saw an article yesterday that sandisk is coming out with a 32 GB class 6 sdhc card in a month so i'll just wait for that one.
Same here
Same thing has happened three times on my Sandisk 16gb. I am running stock everything on nexus..nothing funky app wise.
After the first time it happened I replaced the sd card. It still happens. I have never been able to fix the card other than reformating. Chkdsk /f on win7 gets to 98% then throws an i/o error.
There is something majorly wrong. It seems that it happens in all android phones from time to time not just the nexus one. The consensus online seems to be that it is a mount/dismount issue that corrupts the card. I never mounted or dismounted the card at all with PC and it still happens so not sure what else it could be.
Do you think it is a phone hardware issue that would resolve with a new handset?
Has this ever happened to anybody using the standard 4GB card?
Where did you purchase your micro SD cards? There are a lot of fake/faulty cards being sold. I bought a fake one (unknowingly, obviously) and it kept getting corrupted until I tested it properly using h2testw.
I have the same problem on my nexus! I use an LG 16GB Card and CyanogenMod-5.0.5.3-N1! Any way of recovering the data without amon-ra?

+1 Make sure you dismount from computer first...otherwise this problem will pop up again...and may not be correctable next time. (There's a reason why the phone asks you to properly dismount from computer first)
no **** my n1 has the error message damaged sd card. restarted the phone a couple times and same message. what should i do? i see peoples solutions on this thread but idk where to start. i have a rooted n1 running cyan 5053 with apps2sd
I have had this problem a couple of times too, the latest being this morning
I have a stock N1 with a 16GB Sandisk card. The first time this happened, i went to use the camera and it said insert SD card, even though there was one there, I rebooted the phone and then got the Damaged SD card message.
This morning I was on the train, had been using the phone to read the news earlier with no problems, I got it out of my pocket and screen was black. and the phone completely unresponsive. Removed and replaced battery, booted up and got the Damaged sd card message again.
Both times I have been able to recover most of my files by putting the card in a PC, the first time I found that a couple of my photos were corrupted and unrecoverable, indicating that possibly it was the camera app that may have caused the issue the first time.
This time though, I found that some of my music tracks were corrupted along with one of my videos, and also a directory on the SD called LOST.DIR. Everything else was fine.
Not sure why only these files were affected, as I was not listening to music or watching any videos, so I dont see why the nexus one should have been accessing those parts of the card when it corrupted.
I could not delete the corrupted files, even on my PC, accessing them causes the PC to lock up. The only way to get card working again seems to be a format.
If only the format would work!

Just happened to me as well. Genuine 8gb Sandisk, class 4.
After a reboot Nexus reports corrupted card. It really seems corrupted, I'm unable to read it in a PC or anything else:
[ 1042.673542] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdb] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE
[ 1042.673551] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdb] Sense Key : Medium Error [current]
[ 1042.673561] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdb] Add. Sense: Unrecovered read error
[ 1042.673571] end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 10248
I'm using CM 5.0.4.1 with UV kernel.
It's happened to me, even using the "safely remove hardware" function on the pc. i started just using the unmount on the phone which seemed less problematic.
Yep...add me to the list. Running stock N1 was playing music when it ocurred it started skipping through the tracks fast right before it stopped. It has affected/removed all my pics and left the music.
I'm with you all:
2 times on my Motorola Milestone, using a 16GB class 4 "unbranded" card
3 times on my Nexus, using that same 16GB class 4 card.
2 times on my Nexus, with a 16GB class 6 SanDisk card.
Most times, the data has been available by mounting the card into a PC or Mac directly, though my Mac has seen the card as "read-only" in these cases.
I seem to have this problem after mounting the card onto my work PC, though I don't often do that. I mostly use ADB to copy files. Maybe it is linked to leaving the debugging interface up all the time? I do that and I'm sure that most of you do as well...
Me too
I am using FRF91 MRCr21 and I am on a 800mv 070810 .35 rc4 kernel. Newest 5.00.08.04 radio.
Twice now after using quickboot my phone has reported my SD card damaged and it says I will have to reformat. It is a 8gb class 2 sandisk, real. One time I used quickboot to enter recovery mode and the other was only to reboot the phone. Has anyone else had this problem? What is the best fix? Both times I rebooted my phone was stable. I wasn't downloading or installing anything. Thanks!
My phone can't read the card. If I pull the card and put it directly in my computer it won't read either. Both OS can't read the file system and want me to reformat.
Neither happened due to not dismounting. Anyone correlate the problem with quickboot?
have had zero luck with adata 16GB classs 6 cards. i have gone through 2 of them however their 8 GB card has been awesome
Just had this with a Sandisk 16GB Class 2 card. Inserted into card reader, copied something, popped it back into the phone, corrupt card message. Even the computer says I have to format it.

microSD card not working on Droid Turbo 2...

Got the DT2 a few weeks ago, and have been having trouble with the SD Card slot. I have a 128GB microSD SDXC card, that I took out of my Samsung S5, which was working perfectly, and put it into the DT2, and got an error of "Card damaged. Try reformatting."
I took the card out, put it into an SD card adapter, and there was all my information. Then I put it back into the S5, and the phone was able to read the card.
Just for curiosity, I backed up everything on the card to my computer, reformatted it, using the exFAT file system, and put the card back in the phone.
DT2 was then able to read the card. Took the card back out of the phone, as it does not have the USB External Storage setting anymore, and started reloading the card. I took the card out every 10GB or so (total of 103GB on the card) and right around 60GB or so, I got that same ""Card damaged. Try reformatting." error.
Same steps repeated with a brand new 128gb
I performed a full factory reset on the phone, and still had the same issue.
Contacted Motorola and got a replacement phone. Same issue. (sent the replacement back, as I had an issue with the microphone.)
I tried loading directly through the phone, not using an SD Card adapter, and that worked, but only until about 59-60gb of data, and at an extremely slow transfer rate. Did it with both cards.
Might it be the OS? I have asked around, and no one else seems to be having this problem...
Any ideas? Thanks.

Hey, you might have better luck in the turbo 2 forums. This is the xt1254 (Verizon Droid Turbo) forum.
I have a Verizon Droid turbo 2 and am having that exact same problem. I wonder if there's an issue with such a large capacity sd card...?
Please read the previous replies to this thread, before posting. Twice before it has been stated that this question is in the wrong sub-forum.

SD card read failure

Every so often I get an error saying the sd card is corrupt or not working or something, and photos or music on the card will not open. After a hard reset, it works fine. Is this common? The card is basically brand new but I suppose it could be that.
So I am having a lot of things acting weird. Apps not working, sd card failure... I need to do a hard reset about once a day now. It is becoming a little frustrating. Any suggestions?
So I opened up the sd and sim tray, took out the cards and put them back in. Seemed to fix the problem for a number of days. This morning I had the failure again and I opened the tray and I noticed that the SD was a little off... does anyone else have this problem? Of the card moving around? Any idea how to fix it?
I may just have a bad sd card, now that I think about it.
Thank you because now i know i am not the only one with this problem!

Hey actually I got a new sd card and it has ZERO problems now. Taking the card in and out was only a temperary fix. i think the real problem was a bad chip. I had the PNY 128gb one ($30) and now I am using the SanDisk 128gb one ($40). I would only buy SanDisk from now on.

Unlucky many people have the same problem and no, your sd card is good... there is something wrong with the hardware or software of the huwawei..
I'm having the same problem with my Huawei P9 lite, both the phone and the SD card Kingston32GB are new, i even bought another SD card because i thought the first one was bad, but the problem persist. I haven't found a solution yet.
I have the same problem. I do not think it is specific to the card. I think the card is dislodged and moves around in the card tray and thus gives the issues.
I wanted to but a new card as well, but think this will not solve the issues. I will try sticking the card in the slot somehow to see if that solves things....
I've had my P9 Lite for a month now, and I've only started getting the SD Card corrupt error since last night. Unmounting, and mounting it again fixed it briefly, but then I got the error again while trying to take a photo about an hour ago. I've just formatted the SD card to see if it will fix the problem. I'm hoping for the best.
Have any of you fixed the issue successfully?
I get this when I copy a large files to the microSD card, movies for example (1080P FLAC 4GB each or something). It still works fine though.

Just an update: My SD card gave in completely last night! :crying: It worked fine after formatting, without any errors, until it just stopped working, so I lost a few days of pictures. Anyway, the SD card isn't even being read in my laptop, so it's definitely a goner. I'm currently using a different memory card, to make sure that the same doesn't happen to that one, to make sure it's not my device corrupting the cards.

Sounds a lot like my issues.
After having the phone P9 lite for about half a year, i'm on my second sd card.
2 weeks ago, i had the message it was bad once or twice, but now my phone is acting weird. A few apps (Twitter, netflix, pokemon go) will just start and close instantly sometimes. Apps will just crash. And everytime i reboot my phone, all that has happened after the 6th of July is nowhere to be found on my SD card.
It took me a few days to realize I might have some problems.
But reading this thread i might invest in a new sd card before doing a factory reset.
Problem is from bad quality sd card not from the phone,exactly like u are connect usb flash to your computer,if sometimes u have problem with the usb flash ,u should blame the usb flash not your computer.your phone is just a reader,try to buy good quality sd card

Did the same thing happen to your first SD card? I actually only started getting the issue when I updated to Nougat. I noticed that when I reboot my phone, just before it switches off, I see the notification that the SD card was removed abruptly, so I think it could have something to do with the software that doesn't safely eject the SD card before the device restarts or shuts down. I might be wrong though, but it's just a theory. I don't restart my device too often, but when I sometimes insert my SD card into my card reader, I get a prompt to say my SD has errors, and needs to be scanned.

I had a Kingston one, something i consider good quality.
But you make a valid point and i'm currently looking around for a new one.
It seems that for now my problems are solved by an old one i had lying around.

No, it behaved quite differently. That escalated from one of two error messages in a week to multiple errors daily.
And it was really corrupted, couldn't format it on the pc or anything.
But how is your current card behaving? All is well?

I had a 32GB (Class 4) Kingston SD card as well, which is one of the brands Huawei recommends to do software updates with. I had that card for 4 years, if I remember correctly, and I've used it with 3 devices, including my P9 Lite, which was the only device it gave problems in (only after updating to Nougat).
At the moment it's still behaving. I got a 32GB Class 10 Sandisk a week or two after my previous post, and so far it's fine. Like I said earlier, when I put my SD card into my card reader, I get an error message to scan my SD card, which means my device doesn't eject my card correctly, before rebooting. I still believe it is either an issue with Nougat, or EMUI 5.0. Again, this is my theory, according to my personal experience.

For me the problem also seems to be solved in the mean time with a new sd card.
Don't know if i like your theory though, since it would mean it is just a matter of time.
On the other hand, google does not show that many complaints......
Time will tell I guess.

I don't like my theory either, lol, but today when I was taking photos, I tried viewing the photos within the camera app, but it took a while to load them, and my gallery app stopped responding. I'm hoping it doesn't have anything to do with the SD card though, but I can't help being sceptical.

I changed from Samsung to Sandisk, yesterday after os update same thing. Took out the card, apps default to internal storage and works. Reseller is no help say it's virus. I am sorry I gave up my Samsung edge. May be should have bought iPhone if only working wit internal storage.
I have an expensive SanDisk card and it's worked fine for over a year, just started happening to me too now though...

System properties not responding. SD card Missing! Had happened 3 times.

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...

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...

Question New 512gb micro sd card ''issue with card'' and needs to be formatted after inserting, does not happen on Galaxy S8+

I recently bought a San Disk 512gb micro sd and while it works perfectly fine since I've inserted it I wanted to transfer files without my phone being plugged to the pc so I dismounted the card and directly transferred files from the pc. After finishing up I inserted it back but to my dismay it I get the error message ''Issue with SanDisk SD card'' and wants to format it. The card was with the stock exfat format when it arrived and worked fine. I plugged the card back to the pc, did the windows repair and it couldn't find anything defective. I inserted the card back and it still didn't work. I then tried it on my S8+ and it works flawlessly there. And for some reason after inserting it back to the Note 10 pro it was suddenly working and I thought this problem might be gone but today I was not able to put some files via usb connection to my phone for some reason and did it again directly over the micro sd card and inserting it back the same issue occurs, only on the Redmi note 10 pro. No issues at all with the S8+. But this time I couldn't get it working on the Note 10 pro. I then reformatted it via I also tried a 64gb micro sd in both phones and that seems to works fine, no issues. I then used ''MiniTool Partition Wizard'' on my pc to format the micro sd and in my first test it seems to work in the Note 10 pro but after transferring my files back the issue occurs again and it does not work. Any idea what to do? I'm very annoyed with this and this issue is driving me mad and steals a lot of time.
Now I'm trying it for the last time, directly formatted it via the phone as a media storage, safely ejected it and started the copy process which will take a couple of hours (200gb). Is there anything I should know? This feels like a issue with the software/phone.
Edit:
Yep, this is a bug in the Note 10 pro (maybe only with bigger cards?) and you can circumvent in by renaming specific folders which causes conflicts if you try to mount your sd card.
I'm not sure if all these 4 cause this but when I've renamed every folder and the sd card mounted successfully.
The new 4 folders created (Pictures, Music, Movies, Android) might caused some kind of conflict for whatever reason. I think the issue is with the music folder, its the only folder of these specific ones I had filled with a lot of data, I already deleted the Android folder in a previous attempt but did not guess any other could cause such a major issue with mounting. Weird, but man I'm glad this is over.
Edit: Does not seem to work after a update again and this time renaming/deleting those folders does not do the trick. Now I'm stuck again without a way to fix this, any Samsung device my family members have have no issues mounting the card except my Redmi Note 10 pro. This is a massive problem for anyone using a big exfat micro sd card.
I had this same issue and it was not ROM dependent. I have a 1TB MicroSD card from Sandisk. It would normally go from wanting me to format to eventually not asking and would pop up from time to time. It stopped when I switched to EliteROM. But as stated, it is random. I don't know why it happens. But once it shows up eventually, I delete every folder it created and leave my defaults. Don't format it. It will just do the same and you would have lost time and files for nothing.
In a nutshell, it is just a bug that goes away on its own.
