My 116gb sd card is no longer detected on my samsung a21s, it says "sd not inserted".
I was downloading some files on the internet, changing the download option on samsung browser to "save to sd" (one of those files were like 359mb big), then I tried to delete one of these files because I didn't need it and it said that was impossible to delete it. Then appeared the message "problem with sd card...sd turned on lecture mode to avoid data loss" and this kinda block the archive and gallery apps I was using. So I restarted the phone and when it booted it said "sd not inserted" (and I did not pull it out), even later when I tried to pull it out and reinserted it the phone didn't recognise it.
There was all my life in that sd card, please tell me that nothing got deleted automatically and that there's a way to make it work again!
As @RedDogRabbit mentioned, damage in this case is internal and can't be seen. It can vary from file corruption, bad sectors, corrupted partition or header, etc. The fact that the computer is having difficulty accessing it means there could be bad sectors that could cause corrupted partition or header. Thus making it difficult for the computer to access and read the SD properly.
Again, due to the extent of damage/corruption on the SD card you will need to rely on data recovery service or software. Unfortunately it is not 100% and will not fully recover your already lost data.
You can probably check the properties of the SD and see if it is RAW. In which case it's pretty much toast at this point and data recovery should be top priority.
So you're all telling me that my sd card, which has worked perfectly for a whole year, has now damaged itself out of the blue and for really no reason? I think you should provide a more specific explanation, that'd be a lot more helpful.
Buddy, you do realize that people here are trying to help you for free.. right?
" I think you should provide a more specific explanation, that'd be a lot more helpful."
WTД is that??
Maybe you had your phone connected to your computer & you were transferring something, and you didn't safely eject the phone before you disconnected the USB cable, maybe whatever you downloaded, from whatever site corrupted the sd card..
MAYBE, you should just say "thanks"...
You could always wait for one of Samsung's Moderators to enlighten you with their endless knowledge..
