damaged SD - dos box - chkdsk e: /r worked for me.

I yanked my exFAT sandisk 64gb micro sd out of my phone hastily,

while phone was still on and without unmounting first.

result "damaged SD" & "try formatting" I DID NOT REFORMAT !!

I tried in other android and PC based devices, everything wanted to format it

I ran just the [B]chkdsk x: /r[/B] from an elevated "run as administrator" dos box .

took about 15 mins for 40gb of data approx 55,000 files

I was then able to backup every file on the sd card.

This alone fixed everything for me.

hope this helps others.

Thanks (x8)

Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!

Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. It is really useful for us.

In fact, I have ever also faced this similar SD card data recovery problem since my camera memory card has been accidentally formatted. Your post gives me many helpful clues.

Fortunately, I have finally restored all my wanted SD card photos and videos back successfully with an efficient data recovery tool named 4Card Recovery here:

micro-sd-card-recover.blogspot.com/2013/11/recover-photos-from-Micro-sd-card.html

Note: Never format or overwrite a memory card before data recovery process in case of unnecessary data loss.

Never save all restored data on the same memory card in case data recovery failure.

Always back up all important data timely on different cards or drives in case of similar data loss problems.

So yesterday i received a message on my S3 stock running android 4.3 that my sd card needed to be reinserted or was corrupted. Tried reinserting it. I have placed it into other devices same thing nothing reads it i. i put it into an adapter and put in my computer and no go. Leads me to this thread, I have tried the CMD Chkdsk process. All i get is "cannot open volume for direct access". Any help on this would be great i have probably 2 years of pictures and videos on this card. Thank you, Joe
[Epic 4G General] Mr_You:
There are some Linux based tools that you can use. You should be able to boot one of them off a CD or USB flash drive with your card accessible via a USB adapter or inserted in a laptop. I can't recall their names off the top of my head. If you can't find them then let me know and I'll try looking for them.

How to fix SD card

My SD card died on me while using a Galaxy Note II:

- I can access and thus transfer my files to the PC

- I cannot, however, write new files onto the card, nor can I delete or reformat it

- manually deleting via Windows folder will provide the temporary illusion of it being deleted, but upon reinsertion of the SD card, all the files are still there

- attempted to use CMD and CHKDSK [SD card:] /F, to which I am greeted with:

The type of the file system is FAT32.

Volume Serial Number is ****-****

Windows is verifying files and folders...

The \.mtp\mtptemp.mp4 entry contains a nonvalid link.

The size of the \.mtp\mtptemp.mp4 entry is not valid.

1 percent completed. .

What can I do to fix the SD card? Thanks.

Does this happen to non-Samsung devices as well?

My $.02: For some reason my exFAT formatted SandDisk Ultra 64GB has - REPEATEDLY - corrupted while in my LG G3 with varying difficulties of recovery. Today was thankfully lucky. I booted up a live USB stick of Ubuntu. Installed the exfat-fuse & exfat-utils packages and put my card in. That's it! Luckily Ubuntu popped right up and read the card (Windows 7 said it needed to be prepared and wouldn't see the partition). Gparted did show a bad partition table, so I backed up the files and had it build a new partition table and reformatted the card. Put all the data back and good to go...for now at least. YMMV

[Epic 4G General] Shardog:
Try downloading card recovery software such as:

Zero Assumption Recovery

CardRecovery

Wondershare Data Recovery

If the info on the card is very important. you can use a service called Recoverfab http://recoverfab.com/

it is expensive but when all else fails he is probably the only one that can get info from the card. I used him once.

Good Luck

Fastest way

I'm with the same problem, i've tried a chkdsk /v and i can see all my files, but the device is damaged for windows and android read. So i tried with the good and old Recuva (enable the "scan for non-deleted files") and search the disk. After this, sort by state. They read all my SD and can recover all my files non-deleted to another disk.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lieu10ant:
Where would you rather have the "search" bar/icon?

Honestly, the search bar at the top of the home-screen is pretty ridiculous. Yes, I know, I know, they wanted to put the search bar on every homescreen, so you can search easily, and from a business standpoint, it would result in a lot more mobile searches. this way people don't have to go hunting for a search box.... But, is that really the best they can do? It intrudes the screen real-estate, and you still have to exit an app, and go to the homescreen to search for something. since searching is googles #1 priority, it should be easier than that.

what they should have done is put a search icon at the bottom, next to the 'back', 'multitask', and 'home' keys. the US carriers did this the right way. With it being down there, we would free some screen real-estate, and we would be able to search something with just one tap. Another benefit would be the "voice" search. I know a lot of people don't use this feature (as i have to tell and remind all of my friends about voice actions), but this is a huge feature, whether people realize it or not. we would be able to use 'voice actions' simply by holding down the search key. ANYWHERE we are in the OS. if we're playing a game, and we want to send a quick text message, just use voice actions and send a text message without even leaving the game! Also, with the button at the bottom, we can search within apps without having to hunt for the "search" key within the app.... some apps don't even have a "search" key visible! For example, if i want to search for a previous text message about a party in Austin, i can simply tap the "search" key at the bottom and search.... The button would be in a universal spot throughout the whole OS, and we wouldn't have to go hunting around finding it.

tl;dr version:

Search key should be on the bottom, next to the home, menu, multitasking buttons.

Pros

search anywhere in the OS

Search within apps (songs, files, text messages, etc)

saves homescreen real-estate

easier to search on the web

can conveniently do voice searches anywhere in the OS, even when in a game.

Cons

adds a fourth button at the bottom?

???

there is really no reason to disagree. I really hope someone figures out a way to add that button at the bottom. It's extremely useful.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bmerz:
I think you need a 3rd option, neither. If I want to search the web, I can click on the icon for it. Should be a users choice, what goes on their screens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] e-dub:
i voted at the bottom, as i use the "press and hold the search button" a lot in the car for navigating. what i'm sure i'll end up doing is dragging the voice search shortcut from the app drawer to the launch dock to mimic the way i'm used to using it on my nexus s and nexus one.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qreffie:
I never really used the actual button that often. I know it's there but I always find myself going to the search widget. The only times I really hit the button was when I was in an app like the music app and searching for a song or artist. I assume that's just going to be done with the press of the app menu button and the hitting search (making it now two button presses) but I don't really mind that. They are software buttons after all so they can totally be patched in with an update if the demand for them is large enough.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samizad:
I wouldn't have minded the google search bar, if it were a "true widget", i.e. when you tap on it, the cursor would appear whilst you are still in the homescreen. But, correct me if I'm wrong, but the search bar simply takes you to a google search page, so it's not even a widget!! I felt the same way when using it in Gingerbread.

What they should have done, is to create a proper active widget and given us the choice to install it on the homescreen. I probably would install the widget on each homescreen.

Alas, we have to wait to a developer to release a ROM that takes the bugger off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Korntoff:
The fun thing about this is that it's all software; a custom lanucher can be used, and an adventurous (Depends on the way it was written; it could be very easy or very hard) dev could add a search button. Hell, El Goog themselves could even change this if they see it fit and there's enough community support for such a change.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lieu10ant:
that's the thing. the "search" button isn't just for searching. the same button doubles as a "voice actions" button. it's like an extremely convenient way to text, set reminders, notes, call "walmart" or "pizza hut", or even search where the nearest olive garden is, and navigate to it. all these options from the touch of one button. I personally use voice actions A LOT. they're extremely useful if you remember the feature is there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bmerz:
True, I wasn't thinking about that. I was more thinking it would be nice to have a choice if it's at the top - as it's my understanding that it's at the top of all 5 screens fixed.

No biggie, and certainly not a deal breaker for me - just thought it would be nice to remove it of one wanted to. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lieu10ant:
agreed. i would have thought the main reason of having "virtual" buttons was so we could be able to modify them. it only makes sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stigy:
MoDaco moved the location of the menu bottons and forced them always on so I don't see why it would be impossible to put a search button down there and a long-press couldn't simulate what we have now with capacitive buttons.

This is the best part of Android -- everything can and will be fixed by a Dev to make it work.

http://android.modaco.com/topic/348762-21-nov-legacy-menu-patches-lhs-rhs-both-normal-always-on/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kindiboy:
I might be a minority but I abuse the search feature on android so having it on the top is actually much better for me, i use it for even find apps that are already on my phone, I can't remember when was the last time i've seen my app drawer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokpog:
Didn't have a search button for almost two years (Galaxy S), never missed it. But the positioning on every homescreen is not ideal either.

Voted option one since I'm not a fan of the search button and don't need it as a software button.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lieu10ant:
wow! that's amazing. that shows a 'search/voice' key is definitely plausible.
