I have noticed troubles with my microSD card in my Android phone and when I tried to insert it into my Linux laptop, I get the following error in #dmesg:

Does this mean my microSD card is broken? How could it suddenly happen in my phone? Is there no way to recover eve partially the data on it?

Try to recover data with testdisk.

testdisk won't work because the SD card is not recognized as device yet. fdisk doesn't show the sd card either...
