SOURCE: v3i card formating

I got a solution for a 1gig card, so the 512mb max thing is nonsense.

Check this link: http://motox.info/showpost.php?p=333560&postcount=17

Register there, download the file and open with rar or zip. I formatted my card using the cardreader in my laptop (FAT, not FAT32) and added the files in the above file. Just place the "itunes" and "mobile" maps in the root of the card. Take it out, place it in your phone and voila!

note: works on a 1gig micro sd card. Don't know about 2 or more.

Good luck!

i found something to fix it. or at least it worked for me
http://hddguru.com/download/software/HDDGURU-Low-Level-Format-Tool/LLFsetup.2.36.1181.exe
Install that, then run the program and CAREFULLY select your card from the formatting list
then do a low level format
Then format it on windows or phone or whatever

PLEASE BE CAREFULL NOT TO SELECT YOUR HARD DISK IN THE PROGRAM. IT WILL VAPORIZE ALL YOUR DADA

SOURCE: Problems with formating samsung e250 micro sd card

I had the same problem and I tried everything. I couldn't think of anything else to do so I just turned my phone off and back on again. When I went back to the memory card menu on my phone all the folders that I lost re-appeared. I don't know if it would work on other phones but it's worth a try!

Try removing the memory card and plug it into a PC to format it.
  • For desktops you'll usually need to buy a card reader, but most laptops have these built in. Keep in mind that you may still need an adapter to plug it into the card reader itself (usually, micro and mini SD cards need an adapter which converts them into a full-sized SD card).
  • Once you have plugged the card in to your computer, open "My Computer" and right click the drive.
  • Select "Format" and leave the options default, click OK.
  • Your card should be ready to use in your phone.

LG Ally Android phone says it's checking the SD card for errors. Can't access SD card.

you can try plugging the SD card into your computer with an SD card adapter and see if you can access your files.

You may have to format your SD card if you cannot access your files this way. from the phone go to settings, SD Card - phone storage (some phones its labeled different) From there you can format your SD card, depending on your phone you may have to choose Unmount SD card first.

If you continue to receive errors or are unable to format the card, it is most likely that the SD card is bad and needs to be replaced.

4gb sd card not format problam format uncomplet

I'm assuming you are having a problem formatting the memory card?

The soultion would be to connect it to a PC or laptop that has a card reader installed, then format the card via Windows.

If it is a micro SD card, you may need an adapter to convert it to a SD card.

Thanks,
