Damaged SD Card?

[T-Rob]

Hey guys...was out yesterday and turned off my phone. When I turned it back on, it told me that the SD card is damaged and needs to be reformatted. I rebooted it a couple of times and it comes up with the same thing. I've got a lot of pics on there and some music...any suggestions on how I can fix it w/o formatting it?

Thanks!

This happened to me also. I was able to mount in recovery to back up my sd. Then I formated and put what I wanted back on the card. It was overdue for a cleaning anyways

Would you mind walking me through that procedure...I'm not seeing how to do it.

Thanks.

Boot into clockworkmod recovery somewhere there is an option to mount usb storage, might be in the advanced menu. I cant remember, or check as my droid is not w/me. Once mounted, copy you sd card to your pc. Then unmount and format your sdcard, partitions menu perhaps? mount again and copy back what you want. Make sure you have a nandriod backup on your card, so you can restore if anything goes wrong. Unmount and reboot. When I did it I wiped and reflashed miui also, starting clean.

This happened on my wifes eris. The contacts for the sd inside the phone must get dirty. I had to push the card in and out a bunch of times to clean them off and it worked again.

I tried these steps and came up with the same thing everytime.

Error mounting directory E: cant mount /dev/blockmmcb1k0 (or /dev/block/mmcb1k0p1) (no such file or directory) Error mounting sd card

Have you tried using an micro SD-->SD adapter and plugging into card reader? If you can't mount in recovery or with an adapter your card may be hosed.
