Ok, so I had a HTC Thunderbolt with Verizon. I have had my 16GB Micro SD card for awhile. We switched to TMobile, placed my card into a LG G2X and WHAM! NOTHING! No phone will read it, my laptop or desktop won't read it. However the phones (old and new) and computers read the 2GB card T-Mobile sent with my Sensation.

I have photos and videos of my kids on the 16gb card and I am just beside myself that I have lost them....or so I think. Any advice or help someone can give me? Thanks!!

Sorry but i think your card is fu....up. Next time you better make a backup before you take out the card of your phone. Sometimes they die when you take them out. Don't know why it is like that but you are not the only one with this problem. There are some threads about this maybe somebody found a way to get your data back. Make a search here in XDA about "sd card problem" maybe you find something.
Good luck

Normally I take everything off and move it to my pc once a week and this time I didn't. Go figure I tried a search and couldn't find anything :( so mad at myself.

If you have a custom recovery on your phone you can try this:
Put the card in your phone and boot into recovery.
Connect phone to PC open a command promt and type:
adb shell (press enter)
mount /sdcard (press enter)
cd sdcard (press enter)
ls (press enter)
If you can see the data on the card type:
exit (press enter)
Open a new command prompt and type:
adb pull /sdcard/ C:\sdcard\ (press enter)
Hope it works. If it doesn't work and you realy need your data back try to contact a data recovery company.

Did you encrypted your SD card using your phone? Setting>>security>>encrypted sc card

If yes, then that is the reason why other device can not read it. Its already locked to your device only.

I had a issue similar to this.... Corrupted. Got a new SD through HTC. Didn't cost a thing and was here in three days. It worked perfectly. They said my SD was defected.

It's not the original Sensation card (looks like 2GB) that's the issue. It's the 16GB that looks like it has the issue. Guessing it's a separate purchase.

@ryansgirl101302, Have you got a microSD card reader, if so what happens when you use that directly, ignoring any phones. If nothing else it should come back (on a PC) and say something like corrupted, Format Now ? DON'T DO THAT YET.

I had an issue on a SD card in the Sensation, that needed a full re-format, only switched the dammed phone off :-(( I've also had two other microSD cards that worked fine then complete and utter failure, PC/Linux/Phone all found it impossible to fix.

BTW was the 16GB, partitioned with an additional ext or just a single FAT partition.

Nothing reads it. It's like it doesn't exist. It's not the card reader because other ad cards read fine. The first time I put it in the gx2 from that point on not the g2x or anything could read it. It doesn't do anything. When in the phone the phone doesn't even know its in there.

As a previous post said, FU'd by the looks of it. The big microSD card failures i had were catastrophic failures, the mini one I had needed a reformat, which I did through CWM, and added a ext partition at the same time.

Sorry but I don't think I can help from here, others might but I'm out.
