Update to 4.5.602 SD Card Problems Now

My phone updated to 4.5.602 and for the first few hours it was fine. Ran my Weather Channel app and it froze everyrime I ran it. So I rebooted the phone. Then the phone came back up and said "The SD Card is blank or has unsupported filesystem". I have a backup, so I told it to reformat it... Doesn't work... Doesn't appear to do anything when I tell it to format the SD Card. Something with this update seems to have gone wrong.

Any one else have this issue? What can I do?

Thanks!

did the update come with notification or just install itself as i haven't seen any notification yet.

This doesn't appear to be related to the upgrade to my phone. It appears that my SD card truely went bad. Hooked it up to my PC and it could not read it or format it either. I have never had one of these go bad before...

It happens. Just get it out of your phone before it causes more problems. And be thankful you have a backup :smileyvery-happy:

That's not related to the 4.5.602 upgrade. I had that happen before the upgrade came out and Verizon actually wouldn't replace the card. I have since bought a new SD card of my own choosing (PNY) and my phone is starting to show the same symptoms that I had prior to getting the message that the card was blank or had an unsupported filesystem. I've read elsewhere about problems with the phone potentially causing the SD card to go back, and I'm starting to wonder if this actually is the case and its not that customers have been given crappy SD cards by VZW and Motorola. I'd like to enjoy my phone, but part of that involves using the camera occasionally. If I can't even take pictures because the phone won't save them to the card (if I reboot the phone the problem disappears temporarily), then its pointless to have a camera on the phone. I also understood that awhile back the problems were with Froyo and that the original update to Gingerbread was to have fixed this - apparently not. I love my Droid X, but the problems are starting to show up left and right now since the 2 updates were done....I love Android, but I'm seriously wondering if I just need to go back to the iPhone....atleast it didn't give me fits and cause me to have to reboot and pop the battery all the time

Hi cbjhckyfan61,

I am sorry to learn of the problem with the SD Card. I had a similar issue with my SC Card of which the data stored was wanted back. I went to this link as it provided me with tips for helping me recover my data. Even though backing up your SD Card is a good practice, there are things that can be tried to reclaim the data if possible if possible with the helpful tips and advice. I hope the suggestions provided by the link can help you and others with SD Card issues where the data would like to be recovered.

I just upgraded my Droid X with the 4.5.602 software, and am now having the same problem with my SD card. Is this related to the upgrade or no?

no its not - the problem has been there since before the update was released. I had my SD card go back less than a week before the update and VZW tell me its my problem. But the new card that I bought as a replacement is showing some signs of headed towards corruption, so I'm thinking the problem is with the phone itself. 2 cards going bad or just about to go back in less than a month is not likely unless there are other problems

So last night I rebooted my phone (as has become the norm lately) and when it came back on, the phone told me that the SD card was damaged and I needed to reformat. Are you freakin serious? This is a brand new card and now less than 2 weeks after I bought it, the phone has apparently done something to the card to 'damage' it. yeah I know cards can go bad, but 2 different makes of SD cards failing within a month? There is something wrong here. I ended up reformatting the card, and in the process lost several pictures of some classic Coupe De Villes (which thankfully are on a friends FB) that I had taken, so we shall see what happens going forward. I'd really had to think that come soon I will end up having to purchase yet ANOTHER SD card. I think the phone does need to be factory reset so I'll do that this weekend and go from there. Just tired of this (hint hint VZW) having a phone that everytime I turn around there is another problem or the same problem that keeps repeating itself.....I hate to say it, but I miss my iPhone

@keiffers I can definitely understand your frustration. Have your performed the master reset on the device? If you have and the issue is still persistent please PM me your number and I can see what other options we have for you. Hope this helps. Thanks.

had the same problem with the system update. Only has happend once though. Recieved the same message, tried rebooting..took the battery out etc...nothing worked..last resort was to taske the SD card out and place back in and that did the trick. has not happend since
