Just got my new phone, bad news is I kept backup data on my internal memory card because my external has wiped a total of 3 times (got a new card but still nervous about it). Is there a way to boot my phone and plug it in to enable me to access the internal memory card from my computer?

Hey everyone,
I have an HTC Rezound that I just bought coming from the Samsung Charge. I took the 32g card out of the Charge after erasing everything on it and stuck it in the Rezound replacing the 16g. After adding apps music and such, my phone now tells me that I don't have any more room on the SD card. My Internal storage says available space is 1.3gb and phone storage says I have 0.00gb available. When I try and move some apps from the Phone or Internal storage it keeps telling my SD card is full when it shows Total space 30gb and 18gb available. I've pulled the card and rebooted the phone with no luck. Was I supposed to reformat the card in the phone? Not sure what to do or how to do it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Yes you can try to format your microsd card in any pc.
Remove it from your device and put it in a microsd adapter or in a a card reader and thru a pc format it in fat32 file system with 32 Kilobyte allocation unit dimension.
Keep in mind that not all brands/capacity memory card are suitable in any device... sometimes you can find one of them not compatible at all or partially compatible in some devices.
Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

I have a LG MS500 with metro pcs, i had used aparted to partion my card and link files to my sd card. I had a glitch trying to add a boot image and had to factory reset my phone in order to get it to work again, now my memory card will read what was on the external storage partion of the card, but it cant be modified,and ive tried to format the card with numerous apps. when i attach the phone to the pc, it will show the card and i can access it, but any formatting programs wont see the card, any suggestions???
Hello, I have a Jiayu G4S phone (1GB RAM/4GB ROM version). It has android 4.2.2 and by default it uses only external SD micro card for saving files (photos, music, ebboks, downloads from internet,...). Internal memory is used for installing apps, but that can be changed to external memory. I used to have SD micro card inserted and everthing worked ok. But then my SD card reader stopped recognizing SD card. I sent phone back for repair, but they did not repair it (although they say they did). I tried different cards in phone, but they don't work. Some are not recognized at all, some are recognized with message, that SD card is corrupted and I should try formatting. When I try formatting, nothing happens. I tried formatting SD cards outside phone - with windows, and some other programs. I tried with brand new card. I tried MTK Eingineer Mode - SD card test...but it says there is no card in phone. Is there anything else I could do to fix that myself?
Because if I send it back again I will have to be without phone for another month or two and I can't do that...
I was also thinking - is there a possibility I could make my phone save files to internal memory instead of external SD card?
So a while ago I noticed that when I do a factory reset on my phone, the apps that I HAVE INSTALLED remain installed. Even if I delete them I don't have access to the rest of the memory, I have about 2,4GB free of 4GB. (Note: The phone has and 8GB internal storage, and before I encountered this problem I had access to the 4GB)
Now for the other part. When I connect my phone to my PC, it should show 2 drives well mine doesn't show the second one anymore (which is the internal storage) just the SD one. If I remove the SD and plug my phone back into my PC, it shows the Partition of the internal memory, called G:, but I get this error message, G:/ Is not accessible. Incorrect function. .
I've tried to format it but it doesn't work. Any other ideas would be appreciated.
Hi, I formatted my SanDisk 16gb card as Internal Storage for my Android Marshmallow 6.0 Moto G 2nd Gen XT1068 *rooted* device. So far so good, the problem is that my phone was failing really bad yesterday not sure why, it won't move files from internal to the sd card so it was running out of space and the whole system started failing. I was not able to backup my SD card neither, because my developer options were blocked so no USB debugging available., I tried everything I found online, from stoping removing cache from Media internal app and some others, etc, and nothing worked.
So I decided to restore my phone to stock.
I did this and now it works fine, however it does not recognize my SD card (because it was formatted as internal storage with the "previous" device) so now I have a 16gb SD Card (4GB occupied) inaccessible to make a backup.
Is there a way to gain access to this SD card so I can move out all the files I've in there so I can format it again as internal storage?
Any information missing please ask,
Thanks in advance,
Denis.
