Correct Treatment of your MMC:

Physically, memory cards are quite fragile pieces of high technology, susceptible to damage from various silly things like excessive heat, condensation, strong magnetic fields, physical damage from rough handling and/or bending! (similar to most electronic devices then..)

Given the natue of mobile memory card products, they are constantly being taken in and out of some form of interface with a mobile phone, a camera, a laptop, or desktop PC, or a separate memory card reader. The number of different devices they have to be able to interact with is in the thousands.

It is not too surprisingly, then that sometimes the state of the file system on the memory card can get damaged.

This may happen for a number of different reasons, including:


> removing the card from a device whilst an application is trying to read/write to it.. (Just be patient...)
> battery drain on a device whilst in use meaning an insufficent voltage failure whilst writing to the card.
> a poor implementation of the MMC standard on the device using the card
> poor connectivity software drivers on the device or the Windows PC/Mac
> physical damage like card or device being dropped, bent, getting wet etc...
> lots of others i am sure..


As often as not, the problem is not terminal for your memory card, but just a software issue ( or in physical terms, it could be called "a temporary disalignment of the all the bits and bytes on the card").

The fix for this problem is the same as for any other file storage device (like a floppy or hard drive) with corrupt or invalid file system, namely; re-format the file system.

Re-Formatting your Moby Memory MMC Card:

It is possible that your mobile will offer you the option of formatting the memory card if it is found to be invalid. (However, the likes of Nokia nGage, Nokia 6600, and Siemens Sx1 often just prefer to reject the media as corrupted).

In that case, to format the card, you will need access to one or more of the following:


> A Windows PC or Mac.
> A separate multi-format memory card reader (verify that it is compatible with the MultiMediaCard -MMC- standard).
> (This can come in USB or PCMCIA flavours. If USB, try and ensutre it is a USB2 device.
> Alternatively, many of the newest laptop and desktop PCs now come with integrated Multi-format memory card readers.
> If you are using a separate memory card reader, then connect it up to your PC, and let windows recgnize the device through plug-and-play.


Now you can insert your MobyMemory card into the appropriate slot in the memory card reader. (Please note that because the MMC card is pretty much symmetrical it is very easy to insert it upside-down in the slot).

Open up [Windows Explorer] (or the equivalent for MAC users..sorry not well-versed in OS X).

There should be at least one icon visible for a [Removable Drive] in the list of available drives.
(in fact, there is often a list of about 5 or 6 Removable drives, one for each of the different Memory card formats that your reader is compatible with).

Find the drive that is mapped to the MMC card by clicking on each in turn until it confirms there is a drive present.
(Sometimes it is easiest to do this by trying a fully-functional MMC card in the MMC slot first so you can confirm which drive letter it is.)

(NB. It will always be labelled as a [Removable Drive], don't mistake it for one of your PC hard drives like [C:] drive,
as that could be catastrophic later on!)

At this stage it may give an error message saying that the drive is unreadable.

By right-clicking on the drive letter, it will provide the option of formatting the drive.

Select format the drive, and the [Format Drive] dialog will appear (Double-check again to make sure it not your [C:] drive!).

There is only one setting to focus on in this page, and that is to ensure that the FileSystem selected for formatting is the [FAT] option
(not FAT32, or NTFS or any other option)

(Note: All mobile phones, to my knowledge, and most cameras (etc..) use the FAT file system (or at least are compatible with it)
on their memory card media.)

Now click on Format Now ( ensure [Quick Format] is not selected as this will not actually restore the file system space byte by byte, but only resets the header information so the drive thinks its empty again. This may not be enought to solve your corruption problem.)

The PC will now - hopefully!- chug away happily until it has restored the memory card space back to its original configuration
(of course, any information on there is long gone by now!).

If you recieve an error message back from the [Format Now] request, then your problem may be more permanent, and not just a software issue. In this case, it may still respond to a format request in a different memory card reader or device.

If you believe it to be a failure of manufacture, then the warranty on the card offers the prospect of a replacement card, subject to a confirmation of the fault upon return of the goods.

Tnx 4 info...

add ko lang sir.. pwede din gamitin MMC Medic. nice little app for repairing corrupted mmc..

ung MMC Medic na un di naman gumagana sa akin.. whew.. hmm..

Thanks for sharing :)

parehas lng b un sa minisd?

@boy i think so... kase MMC naman yun e :)

yes, same lang ang formatting for MMC, SD, DV-MMC, MINI SD, MICRO SD, MEMORY STICK at MEMORY STICK MICRO.. kailangan mo lang ikabit yung adapters ng iba para kumasya sa card reader..

k ok..

guys sure b ung mga maayos nyn ung MMC ng phone ko?128mb hndi mdetect ng phone ko.. corrupted

i dunno..never tried it yet

yung iba di na kaya maformat, lalo na pag di madetect..

@john:
malamang nga siguro wala ng pag-asang maformat sayang naman kase. kasabay yata kase nung pagkakacorrupted ng mmc ko eh yung pag expire nung isa sa mga app na ininstall ko. nalimutan ko na yung name nung app. beware!

Boss Marky, Waaaahhh Hindi rin nadali yung sa akin... Wala na yata talagang pag-asa..Bibili nalang ako ng bago... Waaaahh.

Hi ask ko lang po... Kung supported naman ng phone ang FAT32, advisable bang FAT32 nalang ang gamitin ko? Feeling ko kasi better technology un eh.... hehehe Computer and Phone lang naman pinaggagamitan ko nung memory card...Hindi ko na siya nililipat pa sa Camera etc...

Pde rn i format an corrupted mmc sa mga pocket pc pda's..

uhm, we've tried before reformatting the MMC in the pc [in the disk management] then afterwards, placing the MMC back in the phone and reformatting it again using the phone.[the cp was a 6600].
it did work.

i tried a lot of ways on repairing my mmc but nothing worked..i also tried to use the killdisk program (it's a kind of reformatting program that does a zero fill formatting ek ek..) but it did not even work.. :sigh: do you have any other ideas on how to repair a corrupted mmc?. :help:

pwede naman iyan ireformat usong memory card and your own pc... tignan lamang ung option na file system... kasi ang mga cellphone ay FAT16 ung file system... piliin laman ung FAT sa option tapos ok na!!... gumastos ka pa...

Una Po sa PC... Gamit ang Card Reader then... Format Mo yung Memory Card.. Remember to back up your files...

Then.. Format mo ulit in your fone to restore default folders like Images, Videos, Other and etc...

Save your Back Up Files in to your card...

Tried and Tested na po yan... :yipee:
