Weird bug related to SD card encryption - Nokia 2.1 Questions & Answers

So one day my Nokia 2.1 decided to run into bootloop out of nowhere. I restarted the phone without SD card and at least it got into home screen. However, the problem is, nearly all of my apps were in the SD card and everytime I inserted the SD card, it restarted itself. So I thought removing PIN and encryption would work, since my SD card was encrypted with PIN and without the SD card, it worked just fine. HOWEVER, after removing the PIN without the SD card and restarting the phone with the SD card on, I couldn't get into the home screen because this time it asked me for PIN number. I tried every PIN numbers I have ever put in the device but it still did not work
I ended up resetting and losing all my data on my SD card. Now I am crossing my fingers and hopefully the cloud backup on Google might save the day :crying:
Not sure this applies to all Nokia but I think this is software-related, not hardware since the SD port is still working fine and my SD card is still functional.

Same problem...found fix
Experienced the same problem and I had to factory reset the phone. I've been installing apps on the phone's internal storage and using my sd card as portable storage in stead of as internal storage.I haven't encountered the same problem since

Help - replaced micro sd card

Hi there,
I just replaced my microsd card as the first one I had died a death. I've copied all the files over from the old one (backups - we love you!) but the phone is seeing the new card as Storage Card2 and thus none of the apps can see their data files and the apps installed on the old card won't work! Is there any way to make the Kaiser see the new card as the old one?
Thanks
Usually that happens when you save your IE cache to your SD card or something similar like email attatchments. When you remove you SD card it creates a folder on your phone and names it storage card. The easiest way to fix it would be to remove the SD card again and then delete the file called Storage card and then shut your phone off and put the SD card back in and reboot. It will then move the IE cache or whatever caused the problem back to the SD card and will only see 1 storage card again.
This is likely to be a recurring issue, though. If the SD card is put to sleep, it won't wake up quickly enough for apps that are writing to it. This is typically an issue when you're directing mail and/or attachments to the card rather than memory. Unless you really need to (due to space), it's easier to avoid the issue and just keep them on 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?

Click to expand...

+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!

Roman
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.

My refurbished N1 randomly reboots and loses SD Card

My orignal N1 had problems with a pink tinge on all photos, erratic touch (surprise!) and very slow wifi speed (it could take up to 30s to load a page from a high speed wifi connection).
I finally sick of this and so called HTC and requested a RMA. Since Ididn't want to be without my phone I chose the option where they send you a refurb, put a hold on your CC and wait for you to send one back.
Anyway got the replacement phone, put the SIM card and SD card in and sync'ed it back with Google. Most of the apps installed okay and there was a firmware push to 2.2.1 [As an aside, I lost data on most of my apps so the Google sync doesn't seem to sync the data in applications]
The new phone seemed to work better with faster browsing and hardly a trace of the pink tinge but now randomly reboots. What's worse is when it reboots, it goes into a reboot loop and the only way out is to remove the battery.
Also when it reboots, often it cannot find the SD Card and I have to reboot again.
Finally when I move apps from Phone memory to the SD Card I get a message error in moving application (or words to that effect) but I can try again and it works. The SD Card is fine and I have done a CHKDSK under Windows to make sure it has no errors.
So I called up HTC and they are going to send yet another one. I sure hope this one works okay else yet another RMA.
What sort of QA do HTC do anyway?
Just for s---s and giggles did you try backing up sd card, reformatting with sdformatter outside the phone then copying data back onto card. If you do use full erase option on sd formatter.
Of course, if you have an ext you will need to repartition before copying data back to card.
No because just powering the phone off and on again gets the card back. So it's unlikely the card is faulty.
Just a thought--these phones don't seem to do the logical
Maybe I will crack open my Nexus S and try that out instead
There ya go!
Don't look for an sd card though

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.
