I had this problem right after updating to 2.1 but I got lucky. I immediately connected the phone to my pc and mounted the sd card on the computer. Fortunately, the pc was able to read the card, despite whatever damage had occurred. So I made a new folder on the pc desktop and copied the entire contents of the sd card to that folder. I then unmounted the sd card and reformatted it on the phone. Once it was reformatted, I connected the phone to the pc again, mounted the sd card on the pc, and copied all of the files back. So far as I have been able to tell, all of the files copied back to the sd card with no errors and all seems fine now. It may be worth a try.

If that does not work, there are data recovery programs available for the pc that may be able to recover some (or if you are lucky, all) of the files on the sd card.

Good luck.

 

Yep, that's why it says to remove the card before flashing...

 

Yeah u should treat an SD card jus like any other drive... It doesn't exist unless it's in 3 places

 

Yep. Guilty. What can I say -- it was a brain fart. I seem to be getting more of those as I get older, probably nature's way of balancing the growing wisdom that comes with age., keeping me humble. Still, I did get lucky on the recovery of the data.

 

I had the same issue when I went to 2.1 (DD10). I did the same as above: removed card, mounted to computer. I was able to see the contents but while copying to my laptop, I'd get an error and it would unmount. Eventually, I was able to see (or, not see) the folder that was damaged (used command prompt). Luckily, it was the notification ogg files, which I had a backup of.

 

BTW - For the OP... Pandora never ran very long on 1.5 before having problems. Now on 2.1, it runs perfectly with no issues at all!

I would try removing the card from your phone, plugging the card directly into a USB adapter connected to your computer. See if you can view/copy the data from there.

 

I actually bought mine specifically for this reason. It's a micro usb adapter and they sell them anywhere from staples to target.. cvs, radio shack, etc. Mine is an IO Gear if u wanna search and look up the price.

 

An SD adapter came in the box with your Moment - it's in the plastic bag with the manuals. You can place it into any SD reader or a device that takes a standard SD and copy off to a computer that way. It overrides the format error - just make sure that when windows says your card is damaged, would you like to repair it, that you click no...

 

OK so It sounds as if u don't have a newer computer because most to all now have SD slots...

 

That's what i did.Everything Works great now.

 

U don't hav anyone with a laptop nearby u could transfer ur things on???

if not, then yeah u may as well re-format

 

Yeah I had that happen as well. I lost a lot of music but thankfully I backed up all my pictures and things. I am starting ringtones and notifications sounds again and my music I usually re sync every few weeks so that was no big deal. I back up to a windows pc, my mac, an my NAS drive to be safe from all things we use in the house. Sorry you lost it all but refromating should help you keep it from happening again til the next update. I guess they changed something in 2.1 that referred items on the sd simply. I haven't read any data in this though so who knows.

 

I was doin the same for quite sometime (hittin power & then the menu button still)

& as for the battery life, obviously my battery must be bad or either the Network now on 2.1 kills it... It's shows that its runnin all the time but it was the same on 1.5 & I'd @ least get 12 hrs; now I'm lucky to get 4

 

Lots of newer printers have SD slots on them as well.

 

This happend to me today and I'm on 2.1, I HATE this phone...great features that don't work all the time!
