HTC Droid Eris :: SD Card Corrupted / Requires Formatting / But Can't Format
Nov 28, 2009
So my I randomly got a notification tonight saying my SD card was corrupted. My Eris told me I had to format it, so I tried through my phone, and nothing happened. When I connected it to the computer, I tried formatting it through there and when I click on format (Using Windows 7 32-bit), it tells me there is no drive at drive F: Does anyone have any ideas? I used to have a microSD converter so I could use it in a card reader but I don't know where its gone too, and don't know if it would help anyways.

I had mounted my sd card to transfer files between pc (XP) and eris.
i correctly unmounted from pc (safely remove hardware) and then stopped file sharing on eris.
i took the card out and put in a different one (i don't have a card reader and was trying to transfer some stuff).
when i tried to put the original card back in, my finger slipped as i was pushing it in and it got like halfway in and then popped back out.
the eris saw this as an unsafe removal.
now, it keeps telling me "the sd card is blank or using an unsupported .." something. if i tap on the notification, it just takes to me a window to format it. i keep saying yes to format, but it never formats.
i've tried formatting from settings and tried mounting it again and formatting from the pc. when i do that, the pc says that the drive size is 1.08 TB (?!?!?). this is the 8GB sd card that comes with the eris. and it also won't let me format.
what gives? i've tried taking it out and putting it back in. it keeps saying unsafe removal but the option to unmount is grayed out and i can't choose it.
i tried taking it out, turning off the eris, putting the card in and turning back on. still nothing.
what's going on here?

I wanted to load up an A-DATA 16GB Class 6 card with music tonight so I can listen to music at work on the Evo tomorrow at work after i pick up phone in the morning...my questions is, since my PC (Windows 7) didn't need to format the card, will the phone need to do any formatting?

I have a paid application, that I recently published.
For one reason or another, I didn't make a backup copy of the key signature.
After fixing some bugs, I tried to sign the application again as an update, through Eclipse's export as a signed app wizard.
On the screen where the alias is usually selected, i get a message saying "Invalid Keystore Format."
My real issue is how to handle publishing the update as a new, separate application, with regard to the users who have already purchased the application.
Would I issue refunds for the original purchase for users that purchase the new, separate application?

I have no idea whats going on with my EVO but my memory card keeps getting corrupted.
It started when I was trying to "hide" some pictures using Photovault. All the sudden it couldn't hide or see my already hidden photos'. All of my porn was like totally gone! Seriously though, it corrupted all my phones pictures. Thinking it was the Photovault app, I uninstalled and went to reinstall. Well installer cant see any of the app apk files I have on my mem card.
Then I noticed my MP3's were corrupted, all the sudden it reports there a format the phone cant use and I notice files are just plain missing when I view folders with Astro.
I hooked my EVO to the PC and it wanted me to run check disk on the phone/mem card so I did. This hung causing me to have to hard reboot the phone.
All my data was now gone and Windows 7 reports I need to format this device blah blah blah. I tried to format from within Windows 7, no go. So I formatted from within the phone.
I copied a backup of my memory card I had back to the memory card and all seemed fine.
Hour later I'm right back where I was before, shits getting corrupted again. I again formatted from within the phone but did not copy over my backup as I was at work when this happened.
I fired up Astro though and I see still most of my files even thought I formatted from within the phone.
I didn't want to do the OTA update thingy for fear of loosing root. You know the one that was for the mem card issues. I thought formatting it was all I really needed to do. Maybe not?
Right now I'm doing a full format of the memory card out of the phone and attached to a Sandisk micro usb reader/writer.

First post - was browsing and thought i should let everyone know what happened to my desire after about a month. Bascially, it corrupted my SD card, lost everything on it and the SD card itself was not recoverable. I'm seeing similar reports on these forums but no clear answers other than to try another SD card. Not the best idea. The problem in my case was NOT the 4gb SD card that came with the phone but after a HTC repair turned out to be a faulty SD card reader in the phone. I wouldn't have known it was this (i got no info back in the post) if i hadn't rang up & the guy told me. There's no way i'm the only one...so back up your SD cards often just in case!!

I've had a search around but I couldn't find an answer.If I format my SD card what exactly do I lose? I'm not too bothered about pictures and music because I can back them up, or apps either because I've never paid for one. So is it safe to just go ahead and format? It's the bog standard SD card that came with the phone.The reason I ask my SD card looks a little messy with installing and uninstalling apps that leave behind folders.

I wanted to ask before I RMA my Lexar 32GB Class 10 Micro SD card. I have this card in my Charge and every week or so now it goes corrupt. I hear of people changing the cache, but I have not rooted the device.
Is there a "fix" to prevent this when not rooted?
I wonder what the problem is, if I go to a slower card or smaller capacity, will it be avoided? Tired of loosing all my data on the card each time.

So a while back I was transferring some files between my computer (Win7) and my phone and the phone froze; against everything I know about usb storage devices I disconnected the phone from the computer (don't ask why, I know I f'd up), restarted the phone and all worked ok... except, since then, every time I connect the phone to the computer I get this message about the internal sd card:

Dropped my E4G, and I suppose in the impact the continuity between the card and socket were broken, and, well, I now have a useless sd card until I format it.
Problem is, I have very important photos on this card I would REALLY like to get off because they are not able to be replaced. Pictures of my daughter.I have tried EaseUS and Minitool, which did not work. Tried chkdsk, but the card is listed as RAW, so no go.

I've looked everywhere for an answer but I still have my doubts.Maybe a dumb question here, but... if having an ext2 partition + a fat32 on my SD (using apps2sd), does using the formatting option from the phone wipe the ext2 as well? If yes, how can I format only the fat32 one ? (Android 2.1)

I just picked up a 32GB card from the verizon deal. How should the card be formatted? FAT? FAT32?From what I heard is there a size limitation on either? I heard 2GB but I was hoping I could store a larger file (HD videos)

I've followed so many guides. [URL] ..... (this is one I've used of many)
It seems that, whenever I'm done formatting in GParted the microSD card is unaccesable through windows and thus I cannot place a new ROM to install on my SD Card.

There are no options in the settings to format the sd card, just mounting and unmounting as well as total space etc. I am running ICS 4.0.4 and am not rooted ! Also, I was not sure if the settings were created by LG because they are different from the other versions I have seen.

My HTC Desire keeps crashing etc. and now it has come up "SD Card Damaged Reformat".When I reformat the card, I will loose all my data (I know that much).But, if I copy all the data off my SD Card onto my PC first (which I am doing now). Once I have reformatted my SD Card, can I simply copy the files from the PC back onto the SD Card.

My HTC hero says my SD card is damaged and that I should format it. If I lost the apps which I paid for will it mean that I'll have to buy them again? How can I get them back?My main concenr is co-pilot live because it cost quite a bit.

I've tried re-adding the songs twice now and every time it deletes a BUNCH of the songs. The only place I've noticed this was with Cascada. I have about 40 songs of hers that I tried to add and when I disconnect the phone from my computer and view the Music list, it only has 3, the same 3 every time. I'm putting the files on my SD card in MP3 > Cascada in their separate album folders. It keeps the folders and AlbumArt.jpg files but deletes the songs! Why is it doing this?

1. Moving apps to SD card on rooted phones means - apps will be moved to Internal SD (USB Storage) or External SD card? Howto find the path?
2. If I move apps to SD card, will those be purged while I make wipe data+wipe cache+dalvik+Format System procedure to flash a new ROM? Or it'll remain in SD and catch up back when the new ROM is in?
3. What does a Nandroid backup normally take? Would it keep ROM+ Apps in System Partition or just the ROM?

The SD card on my samsung fascinate worked fined until I tried to save a sound from a mms. Then my fascinate starting slowing down... until i removed the sd card. Then the phone ran fine.The problem I have is that I tried to format the sd card both by phone, and by computer. However the phone would freeze up if I insert the card, and my computer is unable to format the card. I tried going to controlpanel//administrative tools/computer management -> disk management, but it was unable to format the card.I even tried downloading something called an "sd formatter" however it appears as though my card is "not supported". Does anyone have a solution on how to return it back to normal? It appears as though normal formatting methods are not working.The card came with the fascinate 16gb, class 2 if that helps at all.

I guess I need some expert advice here. My Droid has become increasingly slower due to multiple ROM's I've installed. I noticed that when you uninstall an application, the directories and misc. files are left behind on the SD card. Is there a way to format the SD card and phone then re-install everything?
