Phone SD Damaged?

[ritterman101]

Hello guys,

I recently switched phones and took my 32 GB sandisk micro SD card to put in my new phone, however it gave me an error saying it was damaged. Figuring I forgot to unmount it before I removed it I just allowed my new phone to format it and see if that works. It worked and allowed me to use it but it said that there was only 15.98MB usable instead of the 32 that the card allows. I unmounted it and found my Micro - USB adapter and formatted it back to default on my computer. After that it said that it was back to the 29.7 GB or so usable storage so I put it back in my phone and it gave me the same SD card is damaged error? I don't know if it is an issue with the phone not reading the card right or what but I know the card works and had no issue in my other phone or my drone for recording video.

Try formatting the SD Card with HP Format utility or SD Formatter. Then use it on the phone.

From what I know Android and Windows now use different formatting systems from at least 4.4.4 upwards (I think).

Yes, it has. But there is better chances and stability of formatting with the PC on MSC mode.
