:crying: Yesterday I spent almost 24hrs battling problems while downgrading to kitkat and installing a pre-rooted zip of 5.1.1 lollipop.
Eventually, with the help of the good people here at xda, I got it done and working fine, or so I thought.
After installing the pre-rooted zip, everything seemed good but after waiting a while I restarted the phone, to make sure everything was OK before I started re-installing stuff.
I restart the phone and BAM "Damaged SD Card. SD Card is damaged, try re-formatting it".
So I let it Format - doesnt try to format it.
I Physically remove and re-insert the card, and THEN it lets me format it and it starts working. Then I restart the phone and BAM, same thing.
***After Lots of trial and error, I have narrowed it down to something which is happening at system startup.***
I know this because If I remove the card while the phone is off, then start up, then reinsert the card it works fine!
If I remove the card before the phone switches off, and insert it BEFORE I switch the phone on I get a 'damaged' sd card.
I have tried chkdsk, formatting, partitioning, formatting through windows(quick and normal format), nothing helps. IF MY CARD IS IN THE PHONE WHEN I START/RESTART THE PHONE, IT SAYS 'DAMAGED' - even though its not.
If I start the phone with it inserted it says'damaged'... but If I then remove the card, restart the phone and then re-insert IT WORKS FINE.
When It says 'damaged' I can remove and re-insert and it still says 'damaged' BUT If I remove, then reboot, then re-insert it works again.
IF I BOOT INTO SAFE MODE WITH THE CARD INSERTED I GET SAME ERROR/BEHAVIOUR
So something is happening on system startup which is causing this problem. Does anybody here know whats happening? After so many problems with the downgrade/root process, this is driving me crazy. And to top it all off, My XZ Dual recovery no longer works after that first reboot - WTF (I'm hoping a re-install will solve this but for now I need to fix the SD Problem :( )
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks for your time.
EDIT: KitKat install was clean, wiped everything. While on kitkat I installed 2 busybox installers, root checker basic and busybox itself. After flashing the pre-rooted 5.1.1 I DID NOT wipe cache/dalvik as I was afraid of losing root :embarassed: sureley this is not the problem?!? as booting into safe mode doesnt help!?
