Thumbs down Evo evowned my sd card

So I plug my 16 gig in to format it and poof. Never even recognized it. Now nothing recognizes it, namely my previous phone.



Any way to salvage it? I tried to plug it into the pc directly but no dice. Possible that the converter card was not sdhc compatible.

Suggestions?

The card is not recognized when you plug it into the PC? Methinks it's a bunk card instead of the phone borking it.

When I had that problem, I went and got the thing formatted by a digital camera and it came back to life.

It's worth trying if you have one handy at least.

GPARTED is the answer to all your formatting needs... Seriously, download it, throw it in your computer, and restart. Should boot into it.

One trick is to format the card in a camera, then back to your phone.

Also, what brand card is it? Transcend has an auto-format utility that may fix your card. Also Transcend has a lifetime warranty for flash type cards and will replace your card with a new one, you just need to start an RMA on their website and mail it in.

Installed Fresh 0.2 and was FC like mad, then finally no sd card. I then ran RUU to back to stock with no problems. Started to use mybackup and would not work. The phone reported a blank sd card, formatting failed to report any actions, not sure about this but thought something would display ie progress. Removed it and put it in my Windows7 64bit desktop and nothing, showed disk but not formatted. Put it in my Windows7 32bit Netbook and all was good. Back into phone and Astro showed everything was there, I am at a loss here but something is going on with these SD cards or the rom! Weird business this is!
