Wait for rooting and official. Stock ROM is not OK!

Flash any European JB if you wanna use English or another Eu language. Cheers
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
I was thinking that same thing. I only need English. But my plan is to wait it out a bit - especially until root is possible.

So until JB is rolled out more extensively, I guess I'll have to just hang on until a "tested, safe" official firmware is available for me. I trust it wont be an issue to use another regions' firmware? I will probably have to check in around that time then top find out more.

No issues buddy! I had 672.180.41.XT910.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU with ICS 4.0.4. Motorola denied to update it to JB :mad:. So first I tried CM 10.1, everything was working great except no car home app in 4.2.2, so tried to install the official 4.1.2 by Moto.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhand64:
Hi guys

I know about the SanDisk Micro-SD card problem with Samsung Galaxy S3's and I happen to be one of the victims.

My SanDisk Micro-SD 32gb Ultra has had problems in the past. It sometimes says blank sd card but it eventually works again. At one point it said sd card damaged but the card still worked. Up until yesterday it hasn't stopped working for a while but now my phone says blank sd card. I tried putting it into a windows computer but it cannot be detected. When using a usb adapter it just shows a device in drive "?:" and can't do anything with it and when using a micro sd to sd card reader it doesn't show at all. In Mac the micro sd to sd card reader is detectable and shows the size of 32.1 MB and is called "Apple SDXC Reader Media". The micro sd card itself is not detectable it seems. I have tried many device recovery software but none of them work. They all seem to just be scanning the card reader and not the micro sd itself.

Does anyone know how I can recover the Micro-SD card?

It is quite important because I have my school laptop data backed up on it (which was just handed in for a system upgrade and being wiped) and also my phone pictures, videos and other stuff.

Any help will be greatly appreciated
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
It may be recoverable by a specialist company, But i believe the going rate is approx £900. My first step would be to try sticking it in the freezer for at least 8 hours (but as long as you can manage the longer the better) then try it in your phone, if this works back up all the data and RMA the card to SanDisk. Let this be a lesson to us all that all data on our cards should be backed up regularly, I understand you werent expecting the card to fail but had you lost your phone the result would have been the same.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
I doubt you will be able to recovery the data, formatting the card with the sd formatting tool might make the card useable again but I doubt it. When I've had cards corrupt more than once it is best to throw them away and get a different make.

You can try looking for a specialist data recovery expert, locally or on the web - if the data is very valuable to you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhand64:
First of all I don't have £900 to throw around, besides the fact it totally isn't worth £900 to get it fixed.

Second, before I start chucking my SD card in the freezer what exactly does freezing it do and how will it help it? You sure it won't just destroy it for good? :confused: I can leave it in the freezer for as long as needed as I can't exactly use the card in the mean time.

Thanks for the reply though

Hope I can get it to work :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Freezing is a method that may give a brief recovery on some hard disc failures .

Note hard disc never heard of freezing ram or why it could work .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
There's someone around here that reported it worked for them, and it's not gonna do any harm to try. But true it would be at best a temporary fix.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhand64:
Well I left it in the freezer for almost 24 hours and tried it and it still doesn't work :(

What do I do :confused:

Any other suggestions?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhand64:
You are lucky enough to have a card without the problem. Doesn't help my situation though....

When did you get it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Not a lot.Contact retailer, or SanDisk direct for a replacement card and chalk it down to experience.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
This is a known issue with sandisk at the moment. They are replacing cards when they die.

As for data, please look into foldersync for future. Sync data to cloud or computer
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhand64:
Ok then I'll just have to get it replaced.

A thought just occurred to me though.

Before I had my school laptop backed up on my micro-sd card I had it backed up on a usb. Because it was only an 8gb usb I transfered it to my micro sd because it took up too much space. I've heard of software that can recover deleted files from devices. Would it be possible to recover the deleted backup on my usb? The backup in total would have been about 1 - 2gb. If so, what free program could I use to recover it?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Possibly. As an IT support engineer, I don't want to get your hopes up though.

Things like NTFS get back may work but most if them are not free.

I took Handy recovery 1 (free version) from a bootable cd tool once, you could try that and may recover a small amount of data but its always safest to assume it gone.

The more you use the usb device, the less chance you have of recovery

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootyourphones:
No worries mine died after 5 minutes of use bought from amazon 64gb ultra sdxc .I had it working but the data I put in gets erased immediately and if I reboot my phone the data is still there then it shows 59.47 gb as full seconds later blank sd or damaged error.now it just won't format in any way fat 32 or exfat.im rma back to Sandisk in the morning.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhand64:
If nothing works then I may take it to my school IT guys (when school starts again, currently holidays)

Think they would have something to fix the card or recover the data?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It depends on the state.

The media has a File System. This could be FAT32, NTFS, exFAT etc. Essentially (without going technical) imagine these file systems as a database table. When you add a file to the media, an entry is written to the table to identify the exact location of the file on the media. That way, when an operating system views the card and the user accesses a file, the table tells the OS where to look for the file.

Typically with these file systems, when you delete the file, the file remains. Only the Table entry is removed. The OS can no longer locate the file. the OS is shown the free space as per what the table says - not what is really the truth.

So once a file is deleted, 3rd party applications can scan the media and find the files (without using the table).

Of course there is a problem in that any space that the table shows as unallocated (you deleted the file), new files will overwrite the old files. That is when the data becomes unrecoverable.

So yes, it's possible that even if the formatted filesystem is damaged, the data on the media can be recovered. But if you added new files since, then the chances are the unreferenced data has been actually overwritten. In this case, it is gone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhand64:
What file system are you taking about here? The damaged file system (micro-sd card) can't have new files added to it as it is inaccessible. It also has not been formatted since the problem. The usb with the deleted files is not damaged and not formatted but I have put new files on it since. Sounds like you're combining the two different devices. Sorry if this is a bit confusing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Both; I am answering the question for both devices at once. I'm not confused :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhand64:
Ok. I thunk I'm da confused one :p

Anyway, so basically you're saying that it is possible for the IT guys at my school to fix the micro sd card and recover its data right? I don't think I'm going to bother trying to recover the deleted one on my usb.

The s3 doesn't play very well with sandisk cards in general (samsung confirmed this) . I personally use a pny and have no issues, I would suggest trying to return the card and get a different brand.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Again I must point out, SanDisk have implemented a manufacturing fix so the issue is something they have done not samsung. If the problem where something strange samsung where doing then I would expect the manufacturing fix would mess up the card for other manufacturers devices, no?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devastatorx:
I have recently ran into this issue with 2 32GB cards and neither of them were SanDisk cards. After quite a bit of research, this issue seems to be less of the card manufacturers fault. My fiance and I both have S3's (sprint variant) and about a month ago her S3 killed her 32GB gskill card. Last night, my S3 killed my 32GB gskill card. Infuriated, I hit up Samsung's support...this proved to be rather useless. After reading threads after threads of people with this issue and trying multiple things myself (different phones i.e. blackberry, htc, other samsungs...the built in card reader on my laptop...etc) none of them worked.

Until....

Using an old alienware (aurora m9700 if it matters, but i doubt it) that was on windows xp (this i believe is key as to why this has worked for me..long live xp) heres what i did

1) tried the built in sd reader and an sd adapter...no luck

2) used an external reader inserting the micro sd into the micro sdcard slot (no adapter)...also no luck

3) used the same external reader, put the micro sd card into an sd adapter inserted that into the external sdcard reader and then plugged that into usb...like magic! back in business, i am currently running a backup of the sdcard.

I am unaware if this will carry over to anyone elses problems...but this card was dead to the world and was unreadable. I am also unsure if this will allow me to continue to use the 32gb in anything...at this moment I'm more concerned about backing up the data it contains.

Hopefully this can help some of you having this problem. Losing all that data really sucks! If I've been able to help you, toss me a thanks ;)

-devx

UPDATE

Finished the backup of my sd card and am now attempting to backup my fiance's (hers died a month ago) The card did not want to read initially...in fact i started changing the sd card adapter i was using and cycling through the stack that I have and jackpot! Just got hers to read using the same method! I think the solution is to use a pc on windows xp, an external card reader ( i used a targus ) and then just keep playing with it. Try different sd adapters, try different usb ports...but if anything....be vigilant! Don't give up...or you know...give up...go calm down..then try again.

FINAL UPDATE

I was able to create a backup of both sd cards. I then reformatted...but to no avail, they seem to remain dead to other devices. I guess I'm just happy I was able to save the data from the cards. I may look into running some sd utilities to see if I can bring them back, but I'm not going to hold my breath
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhand64:
Wow that was a hope lifting story.

Hope I am able to retrieve the data from my micro-sd as well.

A question though, when the card was in your phone did it show "Blank SD card" in notifications?

Also, when you were able to back up your card did it detect it normally?

I don't have a Windows XP computer but I have Vista, 7 and Mac. I'll try your suggestions with the different card reader combinations.

Thanks for the advice though :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devastatorx:
No the card was undetected in my phone, windows 7 PC, and other phones. But after different combinations it finally read normally in the windows xp pc.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhand64:
Did you try the different combinations on Windows 7? Only way I can get Windows XP is with a virtual machine.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devastatorx:
I did but didn't have any luck, YMMV though. Hope it works
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leahajs:
Hey. I don't know if you were able to get your information backed up off of your SD card, but I was able to recover my information from my micro SD when my phone did the same thing.

I used a program called TestDisk. You can do a search for it. It is by CG Security. They have a Wiki tutorial that will walk you through it step by step.

I have used this twice now and I was able to back up my files. After backing them up, I reformatted the card and then put my files back. Of course I had to rename some of the files to get them to be recognized by my phone, but it worked.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhand64:
Hi, thanks for the reply

Unfortunately I have not yet been able to back up my data.

I just tried TestDisk but my Micro-SD card is not even detectable

It doesn't show up at all in the selection menu

Was your card detectable before you used TestDisk? If not, how did you manage to get it detectable.

Thanks in advance

SII eating SD Cards

Mine has eaten 3 SD cards. Not too happy about it. After 3 failures in less than a year, I see a pattern to their demise. It always happens after I have made a number of videos with the phone, this last time was fireworks on the 4th. I think it may be that the "pause" feature when recording a video causes the corruption.

This last time I was able to get the card to "remount" once, I started moving new files to DropBox, but once it got to the newest files, it once again became "unmounted". that was the last I saw of my data.

I believe the problem is the phone as I have had 3 different brands get eaten, SanDisk SDHD, PNNY, and, funniest of them all, a > Samsung SD card <.

Never had a card get eaten on my EVO or my Palm phones or various tablets I own. its either bad code in Android or more likely a problem in the Samsung hardware. I have decided to go to a 2gb card and use it only for music files I have elsewhere, and everything else goes to dropbox,

I wanted to ask guys,

Are these problems just happening with class 10 cards? Do you really need a class 10 card in a phone? Just wondering because I have a Class 10 Sandisk (Genuine from Amazon) that died, just ordered another. And my mate at work has gone through 4 of them in his Note and Note 2....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
Nope, at least in the case of the s3, multiple brands and classes have died, sandisk being the most reported because of a bad batch and also because its the most sold.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diviajar1969:
I wanted to share my experience on the issue and ask two questions. I hope it is OK to do it on this thread.

My Sandisk 64 micro sdxc bought on Amazon.fr on January failed two, or three days ago (I sleep very late and never know if it is today, or tomorrow). I was on vacation and had no computer to perform tests with. The phone would say it was preparing the card, then, after several minutes, it'd say it was safe to remove it. My card is formated exFAT and I don't remember if it has come like this, or if I've formatted it. Also, if I'd go to "storage" from settings, the option to mount was available (not greyed out) and if I'd click on it, the phone would freeze (I'd have to take the battery off and put it back on to have access to the s3 again).

Before this big problem, I think the card had unmounted once, maybe twice since I'm using it (since January). I use my s3 a lot: gps tracking, photos, browsing, as TV, as music player... I think the unmounted episode/s happened when I was using a GPS application.

I've tried to read the card on my husband's s3. To no avail. Both our s3 are the international version GT-I9300, android version 4.1.2, all stock, never rooted.

Arriving home last night, I've used the microSd to SD adapter that had come with the card and read it without any problems on my laptop. I've backed up some data (anyway, I have good backup at all times and only a few pictures had not been backed up).

I've realized I had only about 4 giga free on my 64 giga card. I've deleted some files and got down to 8 giga free. I've also run chckdsk with the /f option.

When I've put the card on my phone again, it worked perfectly well.

My questions: do you think the problem could be just that the card was too full? Would it be better to format my card in FAT32? I don't use files as big as 4 Gb anyway.

Thank you.

I have now burned through 2 32gb cards. Card just becomes unavailable, and no amount of reboots will make it accessible. The card works fine in my USB sd adapter and other android device. I don't blame the cards, but think indeed the s3 eats these cards up. perhaps all the heat from the battery?

Can you give more details and be more explicit?

I am really amazed !!! So many smart guys are here at XDA and nobody found solution to this problem yet? I cant believe Samsung did not find a solution to this yet..... they live this problem in fog.

Hundreds maybe thousands of people have this problem with their Micro SD cards all over the new are many forums with this commune problem. I have search and did not find a solution nowhere.

I got my S3 about 2 years ago.....I purchase at that time a Kingston 64gb, class 10 card for it. Worked for few months and started whenever I try to view pictures from it to unmounts by its self. I restart the phone and work for few minutes then again disappear. I format it with laptop in FAT32 ....work for few days and then die all the way that could not format with the laptop anymore. So I went and exchange it with a new one, again this one I did from start Fat32 so wont be problems.....again die on me this second brand name card. SOOOO?????

What is the solution? Anyone?

I intended to upgrade now to S4 black edition since I don't like anything about S5 but I read on internet that S4 may have same problem...so I think I will wait for LG G3 because it sound very promising compare to Samsung crappy phones and their slow reaction to solve a problem.

Samsung, is been 2 years already since you ignore this problem and you did not find a solution to this problem !!! Wake up !

This issue, the death of a SanDisk card, and the killing of non SanDisk cards are possibly separate issues.

SanDisk acknowledged issues with certain cards and Samsung devices and instigated a manufacturing fix. AFAIK no other manufacturer has acknowledged a problem.
