My friend has a SAMSUNG GALAXY S II with SPRINT & this morning when he woke up the phone said that the SD Card is Damaged & needs to be FORMATTED. His phone is NOT ROOTED & currently running ICS. The SD Card was taken out & put back in but that did nothing, the Damaged message is still there. Is there anything that can be done to remedy this problem without FORMATTING the SD Card so that he is able to retrieve his information.
Thank You,
