SD Missing after update...

[#1]

I finally gave in and updated the phone because the shutdowns and restarts were getting ridiculous but now cant find / or access memory card no matter how many times i restart my phone or take the card out however the card itself is fine and works as i can put it directly in laptop and access my stuff on there.

Any advice plz as am finding all these updates ridiculous and seem to have more problems with my phone with each new update i cant wait for my contract upgrade an may just buy a new phone at this rate.

there are some users that had this problem, and they had to reformat their SD card, but lets try something else first

1) can you test your SD card on another phone/computer

2) test another SD card on your phone

do they work?

sd card work fine as i said in first post i have put it into pc and accessed all my files

[Uliwooly]

if I were you, I would back up everything and reformat the PC

on your PC

1) open any folder -> click on tools -> properties -> view -> show hidden files

2)  go to your SD card, press Ctrl + A then Ctrl C, on your desktop create a new folder, open it, then press CTRL + V

then reformat the SD card and

mount the newly reformat SD card, open the folder you just created, press Ctrl + A then Ctrl C, open your SD card, Ctrl + V

not trying to be awkward but ok tried the reinstall considering i had just done it...didnt work i dnt see what reformating a memory card that works fine will do since the phone cant even recognise it has one in it so can we try something else that has more chane at being a sure win

[Uliwooly]

do you have another SD card to test on your phone

[#9]

no

disk appears to be write protected and doesnt appear to be any settings i can change to alter that

since i am unable to format the disc can someone tell me how or where to find the flashtool to set my phone back to an earlier upgrade since none of the links i have found so far seem to work.
