i know this has been posted alot of times,but take your time to read my post too please. so i have this 8gb verbatim micro sdhc, class 4 my phone is a p500(rooted,cm,cwm).a month ago the card stopped being read by my phone all of a sudden. at that time the pc wouldnt read it either, but i managed to make it readable with a low level format tool. the thing is the phone doesnt read it, it reads my other 2gb card and my friend's 8 and 16gb. i have tried many things to make this work, sdformater tool, custom recovery images, the thing is the sd card isnt read even in recovery. i dont know what to do anymore... thanks in advance , and i hope this is the apropriate section of the forum to post in

That's very strange. Maybe your card has just gone dead. Download Minitool Partition Wizard and try to format the card using that.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
did a surface test, no error blocks, did a format, phone still says "sd card removed. insert a new one", going to try a wipe with the 7 passes setting now, going to tell you soon what happens
it didnt work... it doesnt read it in recovery even. when i try to format sd-ext it says something like E:format_volume: make_extf4s failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 ,also i tried every format possible when reformating it with minitool
SOLVED - did a factory reset from inside CM9 and checked the box to format the sd card (god knows why this worked but the one in recovery didn't..also, why the hell didn't i think of this sooner? could have saved myself a week of searching)
while i was tinkering around trying to fix "mediaserver" (was killing my battery) i started to format my internal sd card memory (after backing it up)...for whatever reason i choose to do this via windows with the quick format off (wanted to scan for bad sectors and crap) then i forgot it was still running and unplugged my phone :facepalm:
novice mistake, i know.
anyhow, i've got adb up and running again, but i haven't been able to find a guide to fix it, or the info to bring up the partition tables, most sites give me specific commands to deal with the external card, but not ones to figure out how CM9\sgs2 is partitioned
ideally i'd like to just restore the partition, I do have backups if that's not possible though.
Phone is up and running fine minus that partition (which of course many apps rely on to store data, most don't have options to redirect it to my sd card.
any info on how CM9\sgs2 is partitioned or how to use ADB to find out would be greatly appreciated
Boot into your recovery and format your SD from within the recovery. That should fix it.

already tried that, the partition fails to mount, when i put my external sd card in the "sd card" partition mounts, but emmc doesn't (the sd card partition now being my external instead of my internal memory)
anyone even have a idea where i can find info on partitioning the internal memory? i've been searching as much as i can but i mostly only get link2sd pages, nothing on how to actually partition the internal memory
::edit:: i've made some progress, i've managed to install and operate parted via adb, but the version i have doesn't seem to support fat 32, i deleted then remade the partition but the phone still won't recognize it. cwm recovery is telling me "failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk11 (invalid argument)" other pages seemed to imply that if i can get the partition to fat32 with a block size of 4096 it might work.
a factory reset from inside CM9 with the sd card format box checked did the trick, not sure why it took me a week of googling to figure that out :/ (wtb a facepalm emoticon)
"CM" you mean ?
CM = CyanogenMode?
CyanogenMod Kernel for Galaxy ?
"CyanogenMode" by installin from default ClockWorkMode? section of "Install ZIp from SD" ?
I need to re-partition Internal Memory too.
searched & found this your Topic.
would you please tell me what exactly has been done to fix re-partitioning internal memory?
maybe it can be so Important and Sticky.

Actually, I have had the same problem, and if your device is not recognizing/mounting your internal SDcard, Bad news! You`ve lost it...

it's been a while, but it wasn't lost, i just had to repartition it, i described how i did this a few posts up.
i'm quite happy with my samsung sgsII, i'm not familiar with some of the other devices but i haven't run into any issues i can blame samsung for.
CM9 is exactly what i said it was, cyanogenmod 9. it's a whole rom package, not just a kernal
Hello everyone,
I have been trying to put CM10 on my Xperia 10, unsuccessfully.
My phone is rooted, I have the newest CWM, bootloader unlocked.
I flashed the latest Kernel for CM10 (v21), wiped data/factory reset, wiped catche partition, wiped dalvik catche.
When installing the actual ROM I got this message:
E:Can't open /sdcard/CM10-v9.4.zip (bad) Installation aborted.
I redownloaded the ROM, also downloaded v9.3 rom, still same message (with the name change accordingly, of course).
I formatted my SD card and tried doing everything again: flashing and installing. Didn't help.
I've searched everywhere in this forum for the solution, and several people found it, but it differs from phone to phone it seems, and some of the things I tried didn't work. I found no solutions for X10 specifically.
Any ideas please?
That means the download is bad, you need to re-download the zip.

you have to use cm10.4 rom and 21version kernal.
try to download rom using phone browser like opera mobile.
I guess either your ROM is broken (redownload?) or you need to disable script verification in the recovery.

Thank you, it worked - I was able to install CM10 9.4. However another problem now is present - when I try to turn on my phone, it gets stuck at boot animation (the circle with tha name Cyanogen inside). I have found a post that it happened to someone else and after flashing the phone with kernel20 instead of 21, everything was ok. I did the same - still can't boot. What could I try now?
Solved it: I flashed it again with kernel 20 (used Firefox for downloading it) and it worked!
One weird thing: I got a window asking to enter SIM network unlock PIN, which looked kind of scary. But I pressed dismiss and my phone works and feels like an entirely new device, speed has increased and everything is wonderful.
Thank you everyone for your help

try formatting your sd card using recovery, then take it out and put the zip you want on it on the computer, then back in the phone. that worked for me.

All will be fixed if you format your sd card with SDFORMATTER app.
solved: This problem is for bad sdhc
1-download sdformatter app
2-format option: Full (overwrite) format, format size adjustment on.
3-do not remove the drive during formatting
4-be patient and wait
5-copy the zip rom to the sd card
6-flash

https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_windows/
Download from that web site. Accept the "End User License Agreement" and download "sdformatter ver 4 for your computer not for your phone". Install it and follow the operation manual that you can download too only if you want.
You will need an adapter (for the micro sdhc) to mount it to your computer. And, don't forget: format option: Full (overwrite) format, format size adjustment on. For instance I have 8 giga sdhc and the format time delayed about 3 hours. That is why I said to have patience.
After the format and the respective FLASH, install all your apps one by one from google play store. Do not use titanium back up or similar app.
Needed: Phone bootloader unlocked and rooted.
SD Formatter 4.0 for SD/SDHC/SDXC
This software formats all SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards and SDXC memory cards. SD Formatter provides quick and easy access to the full capabilities of your SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards.
The SD Formatter was created specifically for memory cards using the SD/SDHC/SDXC standards. It is strongly recommended to use the SD Formatter instead of formatting utilities provided with operating systems that format various types of storage media. Using generic formatting utilities may result in less than optimal performance for your memory cards.
The SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards have a "Protected Area" on the card for the SD standard's security function. The SD Formatter does not format the "Protected Area". Please use appropriate application software or SD-compatible device that provides SD security function to format the "Protected Area" in the memory card.
I have read your aforementioned problem and I am for sure that it is due to a bad SDHC. You need to recover it. If sdformatter can not format (the sdcard) you have to buy a new sdhc.
Follow the FXP installation for the kernel and rom. All will be ok.
In the case that you do not follow the instructions, make a mistake or the third war world start for this recommendations, I ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY BRICKED UP DEVICES OR COMPUTERS! DO ALL THAT ON YOUR OWN RISK!

I have faced this problem the solution is to change your sd card or don't put the zip file on internal memory
Hello guys,
at first i want to explain what happened to me:
i wanted to format an usb-stick on my pc, i used windows' diskpart in the cmd.
well, somehow i maid something very wrong and formated the sd-card of my sgs2, which was connected in the "usb-connection"mode. Well, it was no problem for me, the datas (music and pictures) are safed. but the smartphone don't recognize the card anymore could be because i formated it in ntfs. Well, the storages is always shown in the computer, as soon as i plug my phone in. i don't need to activate the usb-connection mode.
well i'm on a pacman rom and the following is my kernel:
Kernel_Siyah-Dorimanx-V9.1-[00-49]-[07-03]-JB-CM-AOKP-SGII-PWR-CORE
i could format the card with the pc i think, also did it as a fat32 file system, but nothing shown in the phone.
can anybody help? maybe format it with a terminal emulator or so?
thanks for any suggestions!
greetings
Format in CWRecovery.
thanks for that tip.
i tried it, via mounts and storage, but i get an error:
"
Formatting /emmc...
Erro mounting /emmc!
Skipping format...
done.
"
i think i should format the storage via the pc, but how :/
Try formating sd card using a linux pc
I did same thing with a flash drive and worked
Send from my SGS2 I9100 with PACMAN ROM v22.2 and DorimanX 9.20 kernel
that's a good advice.
do you have had the same things as i? so that you can see the storige when the device is active and plugged in? i'll try it later in the evening with a live linux, if i can't get any other solution on windows
Let us know how you get on/if it works. Using a LiveCD & doing it could be a good solution for someone else who finds nothing works (Rather than going the whole hog & doing a full Linux install they'll never use again).
i'm not sure if linux can do more than windows. i've formated the stick 3 times now, once with the diskpart console-programm, well this time "format fs=fat32" of course, than via "computer" (rightclick, format) and here also fat32... then i tried this tool:
http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/index.html
nothing to see in the smartphone either.
of course i've unplugged the cable before.
do you think it could help to do a flash via odin? well, for this i could need some instructions, it would be great to flash a custom rom, because i wouldn't use the stock rom.
but so far thanks anyway for your help, very nice how fast you reply ;D
and here a little apology, i'm very sorry for my english. i hope you can understand most of it ^^
Your English is good
Hmmmm. I'm not sure flashing anything in Odin would help, flashing another rom won't make any difference (Because this is kernel-side). Though I guess you could try flashing another custom kernel/reflashing the one you're using, but that would probably only be useful if there was something funky going on with CWRecovery causing your attempts to format through there to barf.
How about restoring a nandroid backup ?
To be honest, I've heard worse ideas than the Linux suggestion.
a nandroid backup isn't such a good point i guess.
because it contains the apps and so on, and i can't have an backup because i cant flash anything in the cwrecovery (because it cant mount the /emmc)
i think something tricky is up here, otherwise i could mount it easily in the recovery menü, but no chance. i tried it with a terminal emulator with the lines:
su (so that i'm superuser) then of course i accepted the su-prompt, and then typed:
mount -o remount rw /mnt/sdcard
but something must be wrong there because of the following error:
mount: Invalid argument
when i go to settings-> storages i have the internal storage with ~2GB for apps and so on, and it shows another "internal storage", where there are 2.00B used by "other"... when i click on that i see a .defaultrom data, nothing more.
any suggestions what this means? do i have an internal storage mounted where there is a 2bytes file and nothing more free?
that "re-partition" option in odin seems to be interesting.
do you think a flash of an emmc_EXT4_16GB.pit with the "re-partition" field ticked could help me?
EDIT:
fixed it 8)
well but i don't just want to tell how i did it, firstly i want to tell that it wasn't such a deep thing as "sectors broken while formating" or something like that. i really don't know the reason for myself, but i fixed it without the pc. i tried to format the storage with linux, there i tried ext4 and fat32, nothing worked.
than i googled a bit with the live linux, than i found someone who had the same problems like me. Well, he wasn't finished where i was, because he got the problem again after flashing a cm 10.1, but i don't need to flash it, and i dont think i will get the problem, because i got it in a different way than he (he installed cm10.1 from an external sd, than the internal didn't showed up)
Well, i dont want to write longer, i'll tell how it worked:
go to settings -> backup and reset -> factory data reset and in the next page tick "Erase SD card"
this formats the card itselfes, so it recognizes it after all. if i could i'd have formated it in the "storage" section, but there i had no ability to do so.
well, i hope i can help someone with this fix ;D
Hi there,
I have a HTC wildfire [buzz] -s off, I rooted it, got cm7 on it. Now the problem is, the SD-card worked perfectly, and after a while the phone doesn't recognize my SD-card anymore. At some point it eats 4g away from my partitionated 8g SD. Then suddenly i have no SD at all anymore atleast on software cm7 running, however when I boot into recoverymode i can only have acces to that sd card while in usb mass storage device thru my pc. But can't install any apps since I was gonna install 'gapps' when i noticed SD was not recognized by cm7.... I formated mulitple times using sd-format and minitool partion a few times with different partitions one fat-32 other ext2. now 4g formatted just fat 32.
Can anybody give me a work around? I'm fairly new to rooting. So keep it a bit simple if possible.
Thanks and kind regards.
