I recently updated my Galaxy S4 and the update killed my 32gb micro sd card. no computer or device sees it. Is there a method or something to revive it? I read somewhere, where you can put it in a freezer for 3 hours and it would revive it lol. I put it in the freezer over night and still nothing. Regards
Same exact situation as my brother's usb flash drive https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=358337 From the advices there, I got him a new one.
The update would not have damaged card, it's just an unfortunate coincidence that the card failed at the same time.
I never heard of the freezer trick used on flash drives - only OLD hard drives where motor bearings have seized. Cold causes matter to contract - hopefully freeing up the motor bearings long enough to copy off critical data until the motor heats up (expanding the matter) and seizes again. But flash drives have not moving parts so I don't see how contracting the matter (freezing) could ever work. I agree with Roger and this is just unlucky timing.
Hello, Do you have another, non-PC device, such as a PDA, tablet, camera, etc, from which you can try accessing the Micro SD card? Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
