Not sure if this has been addressed on any of the other Threads but couldn't hurt to try. Looking for help so hopefully I get it. Just got my S3 and had it less than a week so still trying to figure things out with it.
So I had an HTC Incredible (the first one, mad old), worked fine and everything til I dropped it on the ground and the LCD itself died and I couldnt see anything, the outer glass was fine so it would still turn on and I could receive calls because I knew what to hit/touch to answer. Anyways, I had an old 16 gb Sandisk micro SDHC card in there with all of my music, photos, and movies from the past 4 years which are pretty valuable to me. Which worked fine and I had no problems with. So I drop the phone and I need to get a new one, Im due for an upgrade so I get the S3.
Well I am trying to put the old card into the S3 and it doesnt recognize it, it doesnt even allow me to mount it or anything, the entire option is dark. I go to the internet and research saying you got to format it and its found as the extsdcard in file explorer. Roger got that. And in Astro I can find it as extsdcard but it says there is nothing in it and it wont even allow me to format it because it doesnt mount. I put it into an adapter to insert into my laptop and it doesnt find it either. I tried it with a blank sd card and it finds that but for some reason it isnt finding my old sd card that was working less than 7 days ago.
I need to recover all of the files from my old sdcard, and of course I guess I didnt back them up using backup assistant so I am dumb for not doing that. Looking to see if anyone else had the same problem, do I need to get the screen fixed in my old phone to try to recover it or am I just screwed? I feel like I have tried everything and am running out of options. I need those files and the card isnt being recognized in anything. Please help. Greatly appreciated.
