I keep getting damaged SD card error on my phone

---

On my computer it's fine. I just want to listen to my music. Damaged or not.

What causes Damaged SD cards?

Try to reformat it and see if it works. There are several things that can cause a card to go bad.

I have and just spent countless hours getting music on the card and I downloaded an .apk when I got error (Installed and worked fine) then just got error.


How to safe me from these from happening again?

All my apps are gone due to app2sd bummer

Just do what you always prolly do. Just make sure to unmount before you disconnect. Sometimes the cards can just go bad. Just make sure to get a name brand card and get a class 6 (you don't have to). It was prolly just a fluke.

Sandisk 8gb class 2 I do unmount error for past 3 months. Know I can't get back my apps2sd to rework after I did a format.

How did you format it? In the phone from UI? If so then it erased your ext partition.


Look in HERE for good guide on how to check what partitions do you have and to format and repartition.

Good luck

If your running swapper, you need to turn it off before mounting. Thats the main cause if its not actually damaged.

I had that happen to me when I tried using Apps 2 SD 2. It said it corrupted my SD, and when ever I tried to unmount from the PC, it would freeze up. I just backed it up, deleted all my partitions, reformated and made new ones. What ever A2SD you're using, make sure you follow tuts correctly.

If you use AppsToSD to partition your card and you get an error saying that your SD card is corrupted or damaged, ignore it. Take out the card, format the Fat32 partition on your PC (a full format, not quick erase). When it's done, both the Fat32 and ext2 partitions will be there. I have experienced that problem several times.

Also, you can do adb to get the files off the ext2 partition before you use the phone to remove the partition and re-format the card.

Well guess what all I did was turn off my phone overnight and charge it. This morning turned back on got the same good message after spending 5 hours putting music onto my card. So this time I am doing a full format of the card and just using fat32 nothing more no apps2sd I think that may be my problem. Cause when using it I don't get the option to safe remove the sd card in SD card settings.
