SD Card can't mount on Android Device - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys. As the title says, I've been having this problem since about 2 days ago and it happened after I was linking an app to my SD Card with Link2Sd. My device suddenly crashed and now every time I try to mount the card, it fails. Now my device also can't take pictures, can't download or save anything from anywhere except the Play Store. I tried factory resetting, formatting my SD Card and removing the second partition. I forgot to mention that only my device won't read my card. My PC and 2 of my friend's phones can read the card. My device is an SM-G532G, it's rooted and has TWRP. Would appreciate if someone knows how to fix this.
Thanks in advance ?

SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem

I'm having a problem with my 8GB sandisk card. My Htc Legend keeps giving me a pop up in the notification blind that says SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem. I've done some searching on google and notice people are having this problem with their Desires and other various android devices.
However I haven't come across a fix. I noticed one Legend owner had it occur after a restore of data from sd card. I'm having a feeling this happened to me as well since I got the OTA firmware upgrade yesterday. And I'm having the problem with the sd card today and I had the option to save date to sd. Today I unchecked it since I started using another card and I'm afraid of that one getting ruined.
Is there a way to fix my other card as I don't want to just throw away a perfectly fine 8GB card.
I've tried reformating in phone and pc. Have tried it in other phones. PC doesn't read it. Blackberry 8900 will not boot with it inserted and freezes if inserted after boot. myTouch 3G slide gives the same error. And does nothing when formatting.
i had this when i first got my new sd card and the phone basically to get it working i just went into the phone and formatted it via the android os then it mounted fine settings > storage > format (you may have to unmount first if it is still mounted )

Hi all,
I guess my problem is very similar. Using an DHD with a 8 GB SD Card...
I did a factory restore including to wipe all data on SD card.
the DHD was rebooting and now I get the message Blank SD Card - SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem. in the notification bar.
is there any App I can restore my SD card? made full backup so ****ting on data just wana bring it back working.
Card gets not mounted... when I hit the message in notification bar it ask me to format card - I did multiple times with no success.
Anyone knows how to restore the card? Hope it's not gone for ever :-(
Thanks for help
same problem here, i guess a new sd card is due
Following I found out regarding the issue"SD card Blank/unsuported filesystem":
Just read my update here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11353140
there are 2 ways to fix this (one of them I can confirm restored the filesystem on my SD card)

PS.: thanks @ GOOGLE
PS.PS.: maybe a mod can merge the threads as I think this is a general problem with HTC phones

The sd card usually goes to raw format. Raw format supported software can help you extract the files and then you can use the full format option in windows 7, quick format checkbox unchecked.

[Q] SD Card Won't Mount

Hey so I've been trying to find a solution to this problem for a while now and I can't seem to find anything to fix it.
So I went to format my SD card through my phone (I am running Liquid's ICS rom atm). I went into settings > storage > erase sd card, and followed through on everything. After I accepted that my stuff would be lost I got a notification saying the SD Card is safe to remove, and in storage it gives me the option to Mount the SD Card.
However, when I press mount it acts like it is mounting for like half a second then quickly just says it is safe to remove and the mount button is clickable again. No matter how many times I click it, it will just do the same thing.
I tried booting into recovery and mounting it through there and formatting it and other nonsense and it just says error mounting sd card.
I have also taken out my battery and sd card and left it for like 10 minutes and tried again. Still nothing.
The only thing I haven't tried doing yet is putting it into a computer to manually format it that way, but I don't have a device to be able to do that at the moment so I am looking for a way to solve this without having to drive 23 miles to the nearest electronics store to fix this.
I don't think my SD card is corrupt, I mean it was working perfectly (it is a 32gb card from Verizon when I got the TB) and it just started doing this after I tried to format it through the ROM.
Any ideas?
EDIT:
HEY! So holy **** I had a little bit of a moment there. Anyway, I solved the problem on my own. So what I did was boot into recovery, and partition the SD Card under the Advance option. I just did the first setting for each so my operation was like this: Recovery > Advance > Partition SD Card > (Power button for whatever the first option was until it started partitioning).
After that I tried mounting the SD card and it didn't give me an error. So I went into the recovery settings to format the sd card (still in CWM recovery) and after it formatted I booted up and sure enough to worked!
So this thread can be deleted or locked or whatever. Other people may run into this problem and this worked for me so yea.
Thanks for the thread space lol
Have you tried 4ext Recovery?

[Q] HELP! My S2 Erased My SD Card By Itself!

Will I be able to recover any of the data on it?? The SD card was not corrupted or anything like that, my laptop can read it just fine, my phone can read it just fine, but all my files went missing! I had my Titanium Backup file on the SD card. I was told to get an SD card and backup my files on to it cause android sometimes may have problems, I never would of thought android would erased my SD card by itself. :crying:

I don't know whether that is possible but maybe some kind of weird error can do it., also is there any app set as administrator? Also formatting is easy to do if a kid took it and went to storage settings, and recovery of data is possible to a certain extent if you connect your device or card as a usb device in a computer and by running a data recovery software like TuneUp Undelete or something else.

Accidentally pressed format sd card in recovery, but quickly removed.Is my data lost?

Hi,
I was browsing through recovery looking for the option to copy files into the sd card while in recovery, just so i didn't have to remove. Well, for some stupid mistake ( i still can't figure out why i even confirmed the option), i pressed the format sd card and when i realized it a second later i removed the card right away.
I don't think it really had time to delete anything or much, but when i inserted the card in my computer it said that the card should be formatted to be used and the same thing appeared on the phone, so im guessing some crucial file that allows me to use the card was deleted.
So, did i just lose all my data? Is there a way to recover the card files?
Thanks in advance!

Removing it while erasing might have had corrupted the data, too. Unless there's some magic software which can check for deleted files on these types of SD cards.
you can recover your deleted data by downloading "diskdigger" from google play in my opinion it's the best app for this issue.. another app is "undeleted for root users"... you can recover photos, videos, and some texts.....
If this reply helped you don't miss to press thanks Buttom to know ?

Keep in mind these might not work as the phone cannot access the card or file system of it, this is why it appears as an unformated card and the phone or computer cannot do anything with it besides reformatting

Try active file recovery software
Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300
Rom: Archidroid v2.4.6
Philz recovery
Boeffla kernel 2.3b6
Viper4android powered sound
Hi
Thank you all for the replies.
I ended up using a recovery software to retrieve the files, since they were all still there because i stopped the formating process right away.
So, recovered the files, formated the card and put the files back.
I was hoping i could just restore the filesystem and those files, but that was the only solution i got at the time.
Thank you all for the help and suggestion!
Recovery of accidentally formatted SD card is possible in couple of minutes. By means of Remo Recover tool, you can get back files lost from SD, CF, MMC and XD cards.

How do I format SD card?

Hello folks,
Have been using this 64GB Sandisk card in Galaxy S4 for about a year now. Last week, out of nowhere, the phone started acting out. I had to wipe the internal storage and reinstall the ROM. Usually, this ROM takes less than 5 minutes to install but this time it took almost 20 minutes, which is super odd.
I thought of formatting the SD card and starting over
BUT
Any way I try, I can not format this card. If I put the card back in the phone, it asks me to format and if I say yes, it tries but can not format the card.
I tried chkdsk on windows 10 machine, it hung. I had to restart the machine.
I tried checkflash utility, it hung after about 3 hours of write (in write and read mode)
I tried to check if it is in read-only mode, it is not.
I tried SD card formatter from SD card association's website. It fails quick format and for thorough format, it hangs eventually.
I tried to delete the files but it won't delete them either.
How do I deal with this one now?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. - Mods, feel free to move the thread n appropriate section. Wasn't too sure where to post.
