sd card on s9+ suddenly dead - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

I had a kingston canvas select plus 128gb sd card in my s9+ (SM-G965F). One day i woke up and i saw some images of apps grey and when i tried to open them "app isn't installed". Also checked in my files and "Sd card not inserted" appeared. So i wipe cache/partition, clean cache and data of my files, reboot and so on but nothing worked...
So i try sd card in my pc through a usb adapter and a light grey drive appear but it doesn't work. When i double click on it "Please insert disk..".
This what i see in Disk Management... "No media"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So i can't figure it out with diskpart and neither format with windows, "There is no disk drive in D:. Insert a disk and then try again". The only thing i can do is change drive letters and paths.
I tried on different pc, usb ports, adapter, phone and still same problem. I also tried different tool on windows but they can't recognize it!
Cleaning sd doesn't work and chipgenius controller part-number: Unknown.
How can i solve it? Thanks a lot

These are cheap. Not worth the risk of future data lose, replace it. I been running Sandisk Extremes, zero issues.
Once in phone leave it there and always format it first in that device before using.
Never share that card with other devices; upload/download data to it through the phone.

I want at least to format it so i can try with some tool to recover my data

Find a flashcard data recovery tool from Lexar, WD, etc. Try that.

I even try to choose zip to apply while in rom manager, and it reads my internal phone storage, instead of sd card too, wtf
Trying to remember what ive done differently at this point... and the only thing i think that could be the culprit is i plugged the phone into my usb cable on my laptop and installed the new hotwire zip onto my sd card... instead of normally taking out my sd card, and installing it into an sd card reader and installing stuff that way.... Would/could that have changed something that now makes my external sd card not readable at all on rom manager?? Just confused, not sure what the hell i did wrong.
Rom manager is crap, i really wish that app would just go away, . It does nothing you can't do inside cwm itself, and only seems to cause problems...
I would get the Odin flashable version of braway's cwm touch i have been using it since April without issue.

64g microsd card formatting will wipe all data(phone storage)

i know the tech specs ssays redmi note 2 only supports 32g, but i was thinking maybe i can use my 64g microsd BUT the phone will only recognize 32g....the phone detects the microsd, says that it is not formatted and asks to format...IF you press YES, it will will all user data and you will be back on a clean stock rom instead. i tried it 5 times....

Format it in fat 32 with your pc

}
But if I format FAT32, I can not use files larger than 4GB , tx.
I don't think it's caused by having a 64 gig card. I had the same issue with just a 32 gig one. It didn't clear everything (like photos) but apps and stuff got wiped when I thought it was just going to erase the external microsd. So must be a major software bug. (I got the beta MIUI 7)
I formatted the card on a Mac using an SD adapter and it's working fine.
...
do not use the pop up screen to format.. format inside the system menu and you are good to go.
Nice feature..

[HELP]Problem with memory partitions and low system memory message

First off, I have a Galaxy S5, rooted, xposed installed, with 6.0.1.
So I partitioned my SD card a few months ago and I haven't had any issues. My apps were installing just fine and I was no longer getting any errors in regards to low system memory.
Today, I received the dreaded low system memory message and went to investigate.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I try to view the details under User Data, thing's don't quite add up:
I am fairly tired so pardon my mistake in judgment if the solution is simple. However, I cannot wrap my head around why I am getting this error when everything was working fine previously.
When I plug in my phone, this is what you see in regards to the visible partitions:
As you can see, there is a lot of memory left on both internal storage and the SD card.
In addition to the phone storage indicated there, I had also partitioned off a portion of my SD card to be used as app storage. As it stands, when I go to storage, this is what is shown:
Here are the details of the expanded storage and again, I am unable to make sense of the numbers.
If you could provide some assistance in making sense of this, I would be eternally grateful! Thanks!
My guess is that maybe at some point I had booted up my phone without my SD card in and it changed how the partition was recognized and all of the app data was migrated back over to the phone. This would mean I would have to back up my SD card, delete all of the partitions, and then repartition the card using ADB. I hoping this is not the case because I don't remember that process being fun.
Again, thanks ahead of time and hopefully there is an easy solution to this.

MTP not working on custom ROM

Hi,
I'am new to the forum and I came here to help other people, so they can help me either.
I have Alcatel One Touch XPOP 5035X with CWM recovery and custom ROM Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 and Windows 7 64 bit. My problem is when I try to transfer files using MTP, on Windows it sas that failed to install driver "MTP USB Device". I tried all found solutions here and out. I can transfer files using Mass Storage but it's really slow.
Please help me....
Thank you
Oh, btw, my Internal Storage is replaced as SD Card, and my SD Card is replaced as PhoneStorage.
See the screenshot :

Update : It seems that Gallery app and Music app only loads picture/audio files on SD Card. If I delete them from SD Card, they are still showing those files, but when I try to open them, it shows that file couldn't be located. I tried copying files to Internal Storage and still won't open them, like they don't exist. Same thing for notification sound and ringtone, if they are not on SD Card, they won't play. If I unplugg SD Card, everything works perfect and Internal Storage is PhoneStorage at storage settings. I also notice using RootExplorer that SD Card is named "storage0" and Internal Storage "storage1". I downloaded ROM from here : https://youtu.be/3YC72-tgcxk

Question Format SD Card as internal storage? OOS12

This used to be possible on the previous update, but now the option is gone. This is what the formatting page looks like now:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The following link was the old way of allowing the SD Card to be formatted as internal storage.
https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/s6od0a
Doing this on OOS12 doesn't change anything in the settings as far as I'm aware of though. Is there anyway to do this or is my best bet to downgrade?
IF downgrading is the only option, I tried following the guide on this link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4324431/,
but driver download link no longer works and the ones I found online resulted in a Code 52 error so I would need help with that too.
In the end I was able to successfully downgrade, but then a new problem showed up. The SD Card was working as intended for a few hours, but suddenly stopped. Now, even when it says it is formatted, it stays unsupported. Neither formatting as internal or external change this. Any idea why? Restarting the phone does not help.
Edit: Sorry for the extra post in the reply. I wasn't aware of an edit feature for the post.
More context, this happened as I was downloading some apps from google play. When I tried to open it, it just flashed and went back to the home screen and eventually resulted in a phone reboot.
Afterwards, I tried formatting on my PC with:
-Disk Manager (all options are greyed out except delete volume)
-Minitool (Says format successful, but doesn't change. Has 'other' as the format)
-AOMEI (Same problem as Minitool)
-SD Card Formatter (From the sandisk website: Says formatting failed)
Starting to think the SD Card is just dead. Can someone confirm? A simple yes or no is good enough.
