Hello,
I have an SD card which was been used in my dash cam.
Recently the dashcam stopped recognising the sd card.
I put it in the PC and formatted the card.
Now it says 0gb free of 32gb.. But there's nothing on the card.
So the PC recognises there's a 32gb card inserted.
Any ideas?
Thanks scrimshaw.. Giving it a go now.
Formatting did nothing the first 50 times Ive tried
50 times?
Yeah.. Kept trying hoping it would work lol
Happens to me as well, you can use formatting softwares like:
https://www.partition-tool.com/
or you can use disk part (More risky if you don't know what you are doing)
hold the windows start button and R
then type diskpart and enter
allow for admin
for the first command type list disk
NOTE: take note of the disk ID of your SD card (make sure it is your SD card and not you windows drive)
then type sel disk (enter the id number)
now type clean
you can now set up the sd card again.
if that doesn't work try it on a different PC or format it using the Dash cam if it had a touchscreen.
Thanks.. If scrimshaws tip doesn't work, I'll give that a go
Now either of you know how to get my xiaomi xiaofang camera to work in Australia? Lol
Already set to mainland China.. The whole hack thing is doing my head in
There a guide on how to do it on the GitHub page:
https://github.com/samtap/fang-hacks
if you need help just ask
Yeah that's the one I'm trying to figure out.. Firstly I can't find a program that can make a vfat partition
@wikiwiki: You don’t need to prtition the sd card if you simply mount an image on the sd card instead. Download it here: https://github.com/samtap/fang-hacks/releases/download/0.2.0…
And you mount the inage with this: https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
What hack thing are you trying to do?
I just want it to work in Australia.. All I know is the hack is meant to allow that
I've just read above that you're trying to setup fang-hacks.
The easiest method of setting up your sd-card is using the following method. This is all in the fang-hacks GitHub guide, which is easily found. Anyway, do this:
Download Win32 Disk Imager (this will be used to write an image on to your sd card. the image contains 2 partitions and all working files for fang-hacks. it doesn't require you to partition drives)
https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/files/lates…
Lastly, you want the sd-card image of fang-hacks from the official GitHub page
https://github.com/samtap/fang-hacks/releases/download/0.2.0…
Install the win32 disk imager, unzip the fanghacks zip, open win32 disk imager and see Image File - click the folder which you want to then select "fanghacks_v0.2.0.img" which you extracted from the zip earlier. Then click "Write". All done.

edit:
assuming that you just want to restore the card to a usable condition and don't care about the footage on it, you should just reformat the card.
Download the formatter tool from SDcard.org and reformat it as FAT filesystem
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
If you've been using the card in your dashcam and it was not a 'high endurance SD card', its possible it might have exhausted it's read/write cycles and can no longer be used.
