[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
To set your mind at ease a little, I flash and test a lot of ROMs and other than my dropbox folder disappearing, have not lost anything on my sd card. But to be safe, back up your card to the computer every now and then. I believe the mount and dismount theory to be sound and have heard a few people having trouble connecting to a computer after going between firmware versions. It is possible they had outdated drivers and that could also add to possible corruption of the data on the card. Removing the phone from a computer without ejecting will definitely cause problems at some point. A flaky cable like the stock ones will wear, cause the phone to disconnect and corrupt the sd card if during a file transfer. So get a good cable like a Blackberry or Palm Pre one, backup your card once in awhile and always eject your phone from the computer.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul627g:
Thanks to both.. You may recognize me I'm around a bit here not only for my themes but also to answer questions quite frequently. I'm also an adviser at androidcentral.com's forums for the Epic 4g and the question has been asked over there about this because some users have lost sdcard data after doing a factory reset to get out of the boot loop.

So that is my main reason to asking this question. I too have flashed more ROMs/themes, etc than I care to remember and never had an issue with sdcard data loss.

Thanks again. I hope these are some isolated incidents for those affected.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Hopefully. It may actually be whatever caused the boot loop that caused the loss of data. The sd card may have been failing and caused a bad flash and that was the final nail in it's coffin.

how to recover files from a 'damaged micro sd card'

...getting back to the forum after a super busy day, am glad to see kennyglass123 + paul627g on top of things --as is their gracious manner-- + as i sense this to be an important enough issue 4 no one really knows the specific cause, it's variable + always somewhat circumstantial (ie, johncorleone mentioned elsewhere that heat from an overclocked cpu could cause damage as well)...................so, moving forward I simply want to contribute as a brief description, here, how i was able to recover (most) of the files from my 'damaged micro sd card:'

First, when i saw 'damaged sd card / format card' on the phone, when it became possible 4 me to do so, instead of 'formatting' I replaced the damaged card for a new one (pny 16gb sdhc class 10)...booted the phone everything was fine (15.91gb space available)........next:

(1) placed 'damaged' sd card into the reader that came w/ the device, and mounted to pc, selected the drive (followed by confirmation beep 'device detected' sound, then the language: 'd:\ not accessible. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable' came on the screen..........went to RUN and typed CMD........from new window, I typed Chkdsk d: /r and the PC began reading the contents of the damaged SD card (most of the android zip files etcetera were there, as were a number of files w/ no content) + next i typed 'exit' (no quotations, just the letters) to return to the windows desktop.......OK, so now the only files missing are the pix + video mov's (far as I can remember).

..........(2) next, to recover pix + video, from the pc desktop i opened ZARecovery (if you do not already have it go to www.z-a-recovery.com and download the free recovery program from that site).

.............(3) from the ZARrecovery main page, selected sd card as device, selected 'next', selected 'root' folder for all files that ZAR was able to detect as recoverable, entered destination folder name (for transfer of recovered pix + video to PC....note: NEVER to sd card itself!), + lastly, selected 'start copying selected files'.........and that was it, closed ZAR + began viewing the content of the recovery folder to get an assessment of what had actually been recovered, and what had been lost.................fortunately 4 me, the loss was minimal, as I tend to create backups (Nandroids, every half year; pic, videos, email attachments = pretty regularly!)

Hope this helps those of you that have been experiencing microSD Card damage (from whatever source).

I just restarted my phone and all data on micro SD card was gone

I installed Android Revolution HD™ 3.6.7 XE | 4.1.7 Sense 3.5 on my HTC sensation 4g yesterday.

I was sorting through my contacts and did a backup to my micro SD card then deleted all from phone, google and sim. Then I reinstalled the Vcard copy of my contacts from my micro SD, (16gb Lexar), card all good up until this point.

After that I restarted my phone and all my data on my SD card was gone!

I had a backup of Titanium Backup on Dropbox but none of my photos were there.

Is my backup of my original rom going to be on Titanium Backup, or was the only copy going to be on my SD card?

Thanks

I'm angry that people ask these dumb questions and then act like jerks to those who respond, because it means that there is a greater chance that the devs are going to systematically hold back a release of ICS ROMs just to get back at the douche-nozzles who start these threads.

unfortunately, my rom is the only one that gets updated on the view. I've got the stock rom as far tweaked out as I can without either A) completely integration V6 Supercharger or B) custom kernel from source so I can remove CIQ. I'm working on making B) a reality but this is the farthest I've gotten in rom development so releases are slow. I'm hoping that they release honeycomb soon, especially since they honeycomb users guide was already released.

So whenever I charge the phone and it's on 100% fully charged for a while, as soon as I disconnect it drops to 99% instantly. I have LTE turned off and am just running 3G as well, but as soon as I disconnect it drops instantly. Bug? Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
Normal operation. These batteries have overcharging protection built in. It'll charge to 100% then stop & begin to discharge. It may get down to 96-97% before it begins to trickle charge again. If you pull it from the charger during this process, the actual charge gets displayed.

Well.. first of all I've looked around and under the circumstances haven't found anything of my interest..

First of all. I'm not sure if its illegal or not... Its is under certain circumstances and some places it says otherwise. Well I haven't found anything that says it is....

Also. My vivid is not imei locked or blacklisted or anything. It works. But I have sprint and am thinking of using it as a Go Phone. Well. I was thinking of buying a cheap go phone and use that imei to have cheaper internet.

It shouldn't. Be illegal. I'm using an imei I own. And att is too expensive.. but I really like the phone.

How can this be done?

Not looking to get banned over this. Been here a while. Don't give me trouble. I just want some info.

Thanks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] malickie:
It Can't be done with Verzion or Sprint because they are both CDMA and Not GSM. You could do T-Mobile, AT&T and Maybe Simple Mobile not 100% certain but to do any of those I believe you need to get an Unlock code for the phone for it to function.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ceyo14:
no, what I meant for sprint is that it is my primary service. thats it..

Id like to activate this one seperately using Go Phone pay as you go. its just that internet there is pathetic and expensive. $25 fo 500MB... but if its not a smartphone... hence why I want to change IMEI, too fool network thinking its a nokia dunbphone. its only $10 for unlimited. I think here we have a $50 for everything unlimited, for dumbphones.

really know its possible, but want some info. I could keep tethering from my sprint phone but, honestly ATT is way faster here. even if I stay on regular 3G.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ceyo14:
with an unlock code I can change the IMEI number?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] malickie:
Oh I see what you mean. As far as I know there is no way to change an IMEI on a phone. And if that is correct it would mean your plan would eventually change because they can see the IMEI although I am not 100% on that because it would be a go phone plan as opposed to an actual standard plan.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pstevep:
Thread closed. Discussion of imei changing is prohibited. As it is illegal in most places. Thanks.

I followed the directions to root on the LOOK HERE FIRST, so I installed Clockwork, then flashed the root zip, and that's it - I never installed any other ROM. It seems to operate just fine, but then at some point when I reboot it gets stuck at the Samsung logo. I repeatedly restore my NAND backup from before I rooted, flash the root zip again (and I tried redownloading it, in case it was corrupted), and try rebooting and it boots just fine. But then it always breaks itself and boot loops again after a while. I've done this a couple times.

After that, just make sure to do a nandroid/Titanium Backup before wiping Cache, Dalvik Cache, and then data, all before installing a new ROM.

And after you do the 3x wipe, don't boot up at all. Just install straight from recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cammiesoul:
Those are both the same link, I'm guessing a mistake? I would be interested in the better root tutorial.
