SD card problem. please help.

I am getting big problem with my Sandisk 8gb micro sdcard.
i mount it with pc via galaxy mini a pop menu came up (scan and fix) i clicked continue without scanning then it shows 6.22 gb free of 6.96 gb (rest is used in 2nd partition). i copy files to sdcard (copy some ROMS and GAPPS). Un-mount sdcard.
Now problem started, i open file explorer and not able to find my files whc i copied.
than again tried to copy, resulted fail.
so decided to format sdcard. For first time when i try to format it showed (Windows cannot complete format) than tried with CMD same problem bad sector filled with zeros. than tried with SD card Formatter (software) but it said card it write protected.
after some time when i tried to format it formatted successfully
so i unmount but boom when i re mount it showed me all the same files before being format.
i try to format again it successfully formatted but after un mount and re mount same files are seen.
Any Help?

How would i click "cancel" if the scan with fix thing is "finished". as you said... ?

If it's finished then it's good, I just told you what to do when it stops with full green bar and "cancel" button (like in my case)

it is finished, tried 4-5 times but every time it is completely finished.
any software to give HARD format to sd card. ?

For me it hanged at the very end, but if it finished for you, it's good if that error still shows up, make a backup of important stuff an go to recovery, choose "mounts and storage", and format SD card. When it's done, boot up your phone and plug in to PC. If you can't access SD card, format it again, but this time from PC.

I tried it, it is successfully completed but still no help. still can see those files after format :'(

Post names of those files with extension, it should look like "name.***" put letters instead of *

I have the same problem, wasn't able to fix it. 32gb sdcard is "lost" now D:

You too have some strange files left on it? Care to post names of them?

if you have a Nokia s40 series mobile then use it to format
mime was showing corrupted and was not mounting, I formatted it with 2690 and it was working again

No, no strange file names. When I try to format it via CWM it gets stuck, via Minitool it formats but after it shows unfformated partition or unusable partition, then I check and my files are all there. Tried with windows formatting, gets stuck too...

Can't mount internal sd-card; No usb connection!

Hi at all.
my sgs i9000 don't start anymore. After pressing the power button, the SamsungLogo appears and disappears after few seconds.
then again, and again. No bootanimation appears!
if i boot into recovery mode, this errormessage was printed:
update media, please wait
E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(No such file or directory)
E:copy_dbdate_media:cant mount sdcard:
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if i try to format internal sd card or wipe data/factory reset, the same message appears.
Downloadmodus can be started!
The phone was not rooted before. the firmware was the last published by samsung for sgs i9000.
If i connect via usb to the computer, my computer can detect the usb device. just "Unknown Device".
I tryed many usb driver. but there is no problem with the drivers, because other sgs i9000 phones were recognized successfully.
I plugged in another sgs i9000 and the driver starts installation itself. On the defect phone, nothing happens except as Unknown device recognized.
I also try different usb cables and other Pc's.
On mac and linux, dmesg says: "unable to enumerate usb device".
Has anyone a solution for my problem?
best regards, michael

if it was not rooted then how did you got the recovery mode?

Every Android phone has the recovery mode, its the stock recovery then,and its not neccessary to root the phone to get recovery mode.
E.g. I've rooted my phone through recovery mode

this is the only solution you will need:
card sd 2-4gb
doawload rom
root the rom
instal ICS 4.0.4 like that in video
AND THE PHONE WILL WORK PERFECTLY
ypu will not be able to use no more the internal memory

But it doesn't work for me, because i cant connect the phone to my computer, i wroted in first post.
I've created a 2 parted sdcard like in the video, but the phone does nothing with it.
are there any solutions how to root the phone without computer that includes odin/heimdall? eg in use of an update.zip in recovery mode?

Has anyone any idea how to solve it?

Can the internal SD get corrupted?

so i woke up this am and the phone was dead. dark screen but the bottom row keys lit up.
the phone is a original galaxy s captivate on att. i was running stock gingerbread with a root for at least a year or so. i have put custom roms on in the past but went back to stock using Kies
I've tried a couple of things that have worked for me in the past but no luck. here is what I've already tried
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...-3-gingerbread-firmware-on-samsung-captivate/
Odin doesn't return any errors just won't boot, only DL mode or recovery. i can use the volume and plug in to get to download mode and the three button combo to get to recovery console but i keep getting the same error msg. i've tried to 'wipe data/factory reset' and 'wipe cache partition'
see attached image (used a friends phone)
is this recoverable?

I'm not familiar with either method you tried but since you can get into download mode I would suggest the following. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843 go to the third post and download the kk4 one-click without boot loaders. Run that then boot back into download mode. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294477 and download the corn kernel .tar file. Use Odin to flash it to your phone if you want root or to flash custom ROMs.
If you just want a working phone with gingerbread then the first link should get you set up. And to answer your question in the title yes the internal memory can get corrupt.

thanks for the quick reply. but i got the same screen after odin competed it said PASS! in green. but then the phone booted to recovery and a simmilar screen came up with ''failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory) but the rest of the red part is the same.if i hit' reboot device it brough back the ATT logo and the galaxy S but then it loops back to the ATT and keeps looping. anything else i can try? thx

Was this the Odin one-click or was it the kernel?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app

that was Odin one click. i didn't even try the second one.

OK well try using Odin to flash the kernel I listed above. That should give you a custom recovery which will allow you the option of mounting and also formatting the SD card. Try mounting it to your PC first so you can backup anything you want.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app

ok, which Odin? and which slot does the kernel go in? sorry for all the dumb questions

ok, i got it. put it in the PDA slot and i'm running the custom kernel. but it still gives me an error when i try to mount the sdcard, just says 'error mounding /sdcard!'
if i try to mount 'data' the screen goes blank.

Formatting anything will of course cause you to loose any data on the internal SD. I'm sure you know that I just want to be clear before you do what I'm suggesting.
Ok if you have an external SD card in the phone remove it now. Then in recovery go to Mounts and Storage. In there format sdcard and emmc. Then back out of that screen and select advanced and then reboot recovery. Then try mounting your sd card again or there should be a mount usb storage option which will allow you to mount it to your pc(if its working).

i totally understand. i keep backups of everything and i havent had the ext-sd or sim in this whole time.
in recovery i dont' see emmc, and when i try to format sdcard, the msg at the bottom is
'using format_unknown-device... '
'Error mounting /sdcard!'
'Skipping format...'
'done.'

Can you load another snapshot of what is listed in the mounts and storage screen?

sorry, i'll have to wait till tomorrow at work. i don't have a other phone that can take the pic

it's a little blurry but you can read it.

I have the exact same issue as you and I've worked around it by following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447303

I think your internal sdcard is dead
can you use mount usb storage option found in mount and storage

Try selecting - mount /data then try to reboot. ...a shot in the dark but its all i can see that is different from my corn kernel recovery. But probably as stated above, ur internal sdcard may b gone.

Any luck there?
Had similar issue long back, could not revive internal SD, I partitioned my external SD card (3 partitions, i forgot how), then loaded AOCP 5+ , it installed on to external sd which was considered internal by OS. It worked fine, but you can't swap out any other SD card easily as OS is in your external card.
Don't remember many details..

[Q] Recover data from Soft Bricked Phone

First I'd like to thank you for spending time to help me out with my problem. I've tried to handle the problem on my own for the past 2 days, and amount to nothing. I've searched the internet about this issue, and tried to adb pull my photos and tried to flash using ODIN v3.07. But the device doesn't seem to be able to be detected by few computers I've tried. I've changed different cables to see if it would help, but it doesn't help either. I've also tried to use Odin v3.04 to see if it helped.
Problem: Galaxy note is stuck at the samsung logo and cannot continue to main screen.
Cause: Removed battery to take memory card out, after that, reinsert the SD card and the problem occurs. (Battery was also at the low)
Needs: Recover photo from phone
Prevent: Factory reset
What the phone does:
Samsung Mobile USB composite successfully connected
Can get to download mode
What it can't:
Samsung MTP USB failed to connect
Not detected in ODIN v3.07
Phone Condition:
GT N7000 (International version)
Have never been rooted before
1 year 3 months age
Thank you so much for your attention, I hope all you "GURUs" can help out a noob like me.

photos? are those saved in the gallery? taken by cam?
if yes the factory reset doesnot erase that...
1. try booting without the sd card..
2. I dont know which rom were you on .. hopefully ICS.even if no.. download http://www.mediafire.com/?wsmj7fytof14bf1 & http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1408182&stc=1&d=1350455938 and place it on sd card..
then boot into recovery and choose apply update from external storage.. choose the kernel (1st zip Philz) you downloaded and install..
once done.. power off the phone and reboot into recovery .. CWM should be there..
go to mounts and storage and choose mount usb storage and conenct to PC.. check if you can get the drives there... (may take a few secs)
if no.. then install the 2nd zip.. aroma file manager.. this will give you a file manager in recovery... you can copy required files from the internal SD to external SD. then power off and remove the sd card..

Thank you so much!
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! Thanks to you, I can have a good night sleep. :fingers-crossed: You're clearly a Guru! Better than the staff's I've consulted from Samsung Service. Again, thank you!

did you manage to recover the photos? how?

I used the first kernel (Philz) and updated the phone through SD card, mounted the USB through CWM and connect to my computer. Then I got the notification from my computer it got detected. Yeah! Haha, thank you so much!
Now, trying to figure out is it possible to flash odin using this technique.

no...
but you could try doing a factory reset.. .. and check if the phone boots up.. keep in mind that you now have an ICS kernel.. so if the rom was ics then the phone may boot up.. but if it was JB or GB then it wont..
you can also try to install a custom rom from here..

Thank you so much for your insights. Sorry to bother you, but which Custom Rom do you recommend? I'd like to have an experts point of view.

hmmm thats really hard to answer... but you could try JB for note. like eybees, or ulitmate and more..

Sir
newbie here.My device isn't rooted.Yesterday, I downloaded Marshmallow update 6.0.1.At 43%,I started the update.I thought it will complete in that.you know,the logo and all came.I watched it updating till 85% then got on with my work.Then,I felt a vibration.I saw it rebooting and then it showed samsung logo in all white.It wouldn't move forwards after that.I heard 3 vibrations periodically.The 1st one...4 sec gap...and then the 2nd & 3rd vibrations in quick succession.And it would go on infinitely until the battery discharged.I plugged it in the wall charger and then I noticed the charging has also become very slow.I left it for charging at 6 AM and till now(12:14pm),its just 58%.I read in a thread about force restrat and quickly going into recovery mode.I wiped the cache partition hoping it would solve the problem but it didn't. I couldn't understand the rest of the part,so I didn't try.I selected power off option and right now it is charging.I have important data stored on the internal storage so I fear doing a factory reset.I also have fingerprint lock on it so I have no idea how to connect to PC and use.I got no idea about flashing roms.Is there any possible way to revert back to lollipop? I just want my data before I do something.Please help.I really want my data.I can manage without the tab.
I want to recover photos and no,they were not taken by camera.Rather,they were transferred to the device via sharing apps and I deleted other copies.Please help.I need my data.

I stay far away from solo kernels. Only if it is packed i a recovery file.Till now, i don't have problems, whatever I try to do with my Note.
From 4.1.2 to 7.1.1, no problem.

I know this is an old thread and these files probably are not up to date either. Hope someone can help.
I tried the philz zip and it went by quick but I believe I got a "signature not verified error."
I tried the aroma zip and I think it said "incorrect footer?"
Thanks for any help.

[Q] Problem with tab - Bootlop $ Data corrupted

Hello.
I have a problem with the tab..
was running CM 10.1.2 (4.2.2) for a while now and was working just fine.
a few days ago it got stucked...
to be exact - i was playing music with jungo, opend the notification drawer to enable the BT and it got stucked (the music still kept playing though)
a reseted it (with the power botton) and it got into a bootloop.
i tried reinstalling the rom and the kernel - not helping.
now, i think there is a problem with the DATA partiotion... everythnig i do in recovery that touches this partiotion causes the device to reboot (into the bootloop)
Wipe dalvik cache, Fix permissions. Format Data, Factory reset - All of these causes a reboot.
also creating a NAND backup, while reaching the DATA backup causes a reebot.
that is why i cant reinstall the tab - no way to format the DATA partiotion...
the thing is - i dont mid trying repartition with ODIN - but first i have some information i really need to backup first.
in recovery i see the SDCARD, can access all the files - but can't mount it to the computer in RECOVERY mode to access the files, or to copy any other installations in there...
i would really really apreciate the help - mostly to be able to access the data on the card
Thanks in advance
Ofri

Can't you flash a stock firmware through odin??
then you should be able to access your sdcard and backup your files, and then you can flash whatever you want.

Well your sdcard shouldn't be formatted, you should be able to see your files inside "/sdcard/0" folder.

hi and thanks for the help
im affraid that what's happened was my stupidity...

i know i can restore after this format
i did it a few tiomes in a phone
the problem that now i can't see it in the PC as a drive (it doesnt have a letter) so i cant access it for recover
i tried installing a recovery APP it fuond some photos but not the ones i needed.
any way.. question now is.. how can i recover deleted data from the SD card?
or
how can i mount it to the PC in a way that it will recive a letter as a drive? (not as camera)?

if your tab is getting recognized on your PC as a camera, then all you need to do is checking the "Media device (MTP)" option in:
"Settings>Storage>{press three dots in the top right corner}>USB computer connection>Media device (MTP)"
then disconnect your tab and reconnect it, and everything should work fine.
