Huge SD card problems

chrismartel0817 · 01-23-2011, 11:54 PM

So I don't know how this happened but as soon as i boot up my phone it thinks that i improperly unmounted my sd card.

I am not sure why this is happening. I rooted my phone and installed skyraider and everything was fine. I then copied a bunch of music everything fine again. I then used ROM manager to create a back up and during that process the phone froze. It seems like that might be the point where things went down hill.

I can boot to recovery and mount via USB to access the contents of the card but if I try to swap the update.zip file to put a new ROM then it hangs.

Any ideas?

I just had this issue too. Weird. But I took out the SD card and reinserted it, and everything was fine.

Same here. Randomly and only as of today. Haven't done anything to my phone either. Seems to have resolved itself though.

Ya know, mine did this randomly on Saturday. I was just looking at the home screen when it "lost" the SD card, saying to tap to.. something. It went off the display -.-; I tapped and it remounted the card.

Weird....

I have seen a lot of these issues mentioned here and there and it seems to revolve around pics and music. My sdcard is totally corrupted as I can only access it in recovery mode and then if I try to change things it locks up.

Mine has done the same 3 different times. One was a corrupt music file, read only. Last time it was picsay pro app, from black market.

Transfer all apps back to phone memory. Put card in your computer. Transfer all music and pix to your computer. Put card back into phone and format. Then swap your music and pix back onto your card from your computer. That is what I did and that worked for me. Great as my dink is I never had this problem with my storm. But I learned to live with it. Good luck to you. I have 3000 songs on my 16gig card. And if It's a corrupt mp3 file it can be stressful to find. In my experience the corrupted file stays on the card after I swap files to by computer. So maybe just put a few mp3's on first and test it out. I'm guessing youll be ok. Good luck, let us know how it goes. Always interested in knowing what will fix it or what caused it. Because I'm sure ill be having this issue again and again and again and again.

Thanks for the feedback. I think this issue might be a bit more serious as I cant even mount my phone as a storage device unless I am in recovery mode. Any major action i take like moving files off the card or even formatting it causes explorer to crash on my computer and the phone to freeze.
