General :: Erasing SD Card Before Sending Back To SanDisk?
Apr 26, 2014
I have spoken to SanDisk and have an RMA to send my 64 GB SanDisk Ultra Micro SD card back for a replacement.
I have tried pretty much everything I can... I have roughly 35GB of assorted Pictures, Movies, Music, and Videos on my SD card that I need to send back to SanDisk. I have no option to "Delete" anything thru windows. I've tried thru Dos and it tells me every file is dirty. I also get the file is locked. I've been able to overwrite the data and delete it thru my phone but it just reappears when the device is restarted. It's almost like all of the files are imprinted on the card and there is nothing that can be done.
Anyway, I've searched high and dry thru google and I've had no luck.
There are some pictures and other files on the SD Card that I would like others not to see, is there a way that I may not have tried to either delete these files or somehow corrupt the files? My laptop didn't recognize the SD card and wanted to format the remaining 25 GB but never got off of zero. Everything I run tells me the drive is dirty with the exception of CHKDSK
What SanDisk or other card companies do with returns like mine? Do they "test" or "review" the card and possibly look at what's on the card? Do they just toss it?

Can you undo an action like erasing a folder on the home screen? I accidentally erased a folder on the home screen but couldn't find any undo feature in Android. I had to recreate the folder.

I am trying to get my phone ready to sell and I would never sell a computer hard drive without writing zeros to the drive so that my data could not be recovered. I can find no way to do this with my phone.
Recovering data off of a factory reset android is extremely easy (this guy does it in like 5 minutes):(I cant post links so go to gottabemobile dot com and search for the article "Security Guru: Don't Sell Your Android Phone Until Turning it into Swiss Cheese".)
the only semi reliable way to securely erase data would be to do a whole disk overwrite or a whole disk encryption (single file deletion or free space overwrite completely fails on SSD drives).(Search Google for this paper "Reliably Erasing Data From Flash-Based Solid State Drives." This was a study done at UC San Diego.)
I realize that the newer android operating systems have encryption, but I cannot verify if it is whole disk encryption, and if it is not whole disk (encrypting all of the free space on the drive) it would be useless for files that are already deleted (or overwritten considering how wear leveling works, there can be multiple copies of the file spread out over the drive). I could do a whole disk overwrite and then load the operating system back on from download mode?

Just this night I've been using my sdcard in a normal way, browsing internet, downloading files when suddenly my phone couldn't boot after flashing bootanimation (zip made by trusted developer so that's not the problem). Now when I connect my SD Card to the phone it will either say "preparing sdcard" forever or just simply freeze phone after few seconds. I tryed to connect it via working adapter with my PC to back it up... After copying few files sdcards unmounts from the reader... I've tryed on XP and it shows some command errors while trying to copy files in a regular way. I was ONCE able to flash few zips via recovery in order to make my phone boot up again it worked. Now I'm scanning my SD Card using Norton Internet security 2013 - Paid version - not cracked, and the sdcard seems to stay mounted to the PC. Unfortunately after trying to copy files from SD Card to PC it just freezes explorer.exe and unmounts itself...
I really have some important pictures on this sd card
PS. 32 GB SanDisk Class 10 UHS-I (grey and red one)
PS. 2 I was using swap partition, maybe my sdcard went dead from constant reads and writes?
PS. 3 Using linux I managed to copy 81 MB... then any copying froze but ubuntu didn't...

So Verizon is sending my wife a new Eris due to all of the silent call, not ringing issue, and crazy echo issue during calls. She is on Leak2. When I send the phone back to them, should I put Leak V3 on the phone so that the numbers match up better, or do you guys think it will matter? Should I somehow just erase that HBOOT thing off of the phone and just send it to them all bricked? I'm trying to hide evidence of leak installation as best as possible so that they don't decide to charge me or something for the replacement. input Good news is my wife is finally getting a new phone after I jacked it up with the leak.

I am a bit new to Android. What I need to do is send data back and forth between an activity and a service locally. The information sent is sensitive and must not be able to be picked up by other apps. This excludes using broadcast and the onBind() function if I understand things correctly? So the activity needs to send some string parameters to the service. Also it somehow needs to tell the service which activity started it so the service can reply to the correct class since many different activities will use this service.
Once the service has fetched the information via a http request it is suppose to send that data (just a long string which will later be parsed) back to the activity that started it. How do I go about doing this? Using static variables/functions is not an option since again many actives will be using this service. Sure it would be possible to use a static array to hold the classes but that just seems ugly. It's only possible to send simple variables (not objects) via the intent? There must be a better way to do this.

This is one of the few major complaints I have with our phone. When I want to send my vCard (or any contact card) I can only choose from Bluetooth, MMS (costs money) or the "HTC" Mail apps. Since I use a Gmail account I don't have any other mail clients configured. Am I doing something wrong? Have I missed some setting that will allow me to send a contact card via Gmail?

Can anybody explain to me the difference between the generic micro SD cards you can buy on Ebay and the name brand ones? Is it worth the extra to get a SanDisk or another name brand?

It appears as if my Evo is erasing files from the Sandisk card that was pre-installed. For instance, I'll copy over wallpapers from my laptop last night & this morning, only half appear in that folder in the gallery. I'm wondering if this issue is somehow attributed to the update that was supposed to fix the "SD card" issue. I might just try re-formatting my card & see if that solves it.

Ok so i have a mac, and i am running parallels. I have connected my phone to the virtual machine, and am currently trying to install the 2.1 upgrade. It has been about 30 minutes and it still says 0% at erasing user data. Bu the dots are still moving as if it is working, just nothing has happened otherwise... I have not touched the phone or cord or anything of the like....is this normal? The phone itself just shows the HTC logo with a black background like it does on startup. Im worried. I have all my texts/pictures/apps/contacts backed up already, but should i just let it sit like this overnight or what....

My Sandisc 64GB SD card went kaputt last week, it froze at 33GB, luckily the existing files are all ok and I was able to copy all the files onto my PC, however nothing new can be written to it. I've tried formatting with no success. So I copied the files onto the PC and just got a new this time Samsung 64GB micro SD card. Problem I'm having now is that on several attempts it's failed to copy the files back to my SD card (from PC) I've formatted the card in the Note 3..the music files about 4 GB transferred just fine, the problem seems to be with the Pix and Videos. I'm currently trying to copy the DCIM folder back onto the micro sd and it's saying it'll take 6 hours.
I have tried: copying from PC to micro SD in the phone via USB copying from PC to micro SD in SD card adapter plugged directly into PC
copying from PC to micro SD in USB adapter plugged into PC
all results the same

Want to preface this by saying I just had a HUGE thread ready to go with detailed step by step of what I did and it just got deleted while I was hitting submit somehow. After wasting many hours this evening, I'll start over, again. So I wanted to Partition my SD card back to 0, 0 so I could flash KF V32. I backed up my SD to my laptop, wiped Partition, changed to double zero and moved everything back over. I factory/davelk wipe and after about an hour, I finally am ready to flash V32. I go to flash from my SD card and it says "F: File is Empty". I quickly realized what I had done wrong. I dragged the entire folder I created from my laptop onto my SD instead of dragging individually. Rookie mistake. Another hour passes and I'm so ready to flash my 1st Froyo ROM and 2nd ROM ever. I select KF V32 from my SD, click trackball to confirm and "File is Bad" pops up 2 seconds later. I decide to restore my newest Nand that I had made last night because I knew I'd be flashing this evening. I select it, its runs and I reboot. 20 minutes later, xtrCUSTOM pops up on the home screen and I realize that this is the stock xtrSENSE 4.0.6.1, not the Nand I restored. I immediately D/L'd Astro to see what was on my SD card and EVERYTHING was there. My nands, D/L's, settings, etc. My Titanium Backup I just D/L'd last night in preparitions for flashing V32 was there. My question to all the brilliant minds around this forum. WTF happened here? Did I do something wrong?
