[Q] VZW Galaxy Nexus Randomly wiping SD memory

[jaredd130]

Can someone please hepl me out with this. this is the second time this has happened in as many weeks. I'm running Liquid ICS 1.4 Rom and have the touch clockworkmod recovery installed on my GNEX. Just recently though, I'll unlock it and go into recovery to make a backup and when its done making a backup, my SD card is totally formatted. I've all pics and media now twice in the last two weeks. Luckily, after the first time last week I started making copies of all my pics but this is still terrible and annoying. Has anyone ever had this happen or know a solution.

Thanks

Try a different recovery, or a different ROM, that is WRONG!

And to be honest, I've never heard of such a thing.. Sorry, dude, but I think your GNexus doesn't like LIquid ICS...

It isn't the rom if it does it in recovery.

try twrp recovery. it has more options and is better/less buggy than cwm(in my opinion).

Well, I've come to this conclusion after a long night of experimenting and testing. Its definitly CWM and not Liquid. However, The problem with the memory wipe only occurs when I have my phone plugged into my work PC and I try to create a nandroid via the CWM app and not the recovery. Another weird thing is that after my SD memory would essentially become corrupt, my camera would not store pictures.
What I did last night was totally took my phone back to stock, removed SU, and locked the bootloader. I then got the 4.0.4 update pushed to me from verizon. After that was done updating, I re-rooted the phone and started up CWM. I had a nandroid from a few days ago that I figured I'd give a shot. It ran perfectly and I had restored my phone. Then, without my phone being plugged into anything, I rebooted into recovery and ran a backup. Worked fine. So, so far so good. Hopefully its just my work PC not talking nice with my phone because my home PC didnt cause any issues with my phone while it was plugged in.
