I have searched and I can't find an answer..
I have installed virtually all of the current 2.2 ROMS and I cannot get any of them to recognize my sd cards...I have odined back to stock, and flashed over and over and every time, the phone will say "no sd card inserted" IT even did the same thing when trying to mount the sd cards through clockwork recovery with the OS not even booted up...
When I flash a 2.1 ROM back to the phone, it behaves perfectly and reads both SD cards normally. Any one else have this problem or know of a fix?
i thought i had this issue last nite what i did was turn off usb debug then checked ask on connection in the usb setting and let it reboot and waited for it to reread everything then it was fine
If you had read all the posts of all those threads that you got the ROMs from, you would have seen that all the Froyo Roms had this issue. This has been posted many times over the past few days.
In Eugene's Froyo thread, you may find a fix for that.

I have read plenty of pages, and this is s huge issue and I haven't seen a thing on it. I can't even get to clockworkmod from 2.2 because it will not read my sd card.
If it has been posted so many times, could you please post a link to just one of them? I have been looking since Monday night! (Reading and searching)
One of the problems is xda won't allow 2 letter search terms such as sd....

Thanks.. I did see that, and tried it, but it doesn't work still..I made this post after flashing that ROM with the sd card supposedly fixed. I can't use anything that uses the sd card on this ROM that claims the fix or any other 2.2 rom. I would like to run obsidian...

The usb debugging and ask on connection fixes you propose do nothing when my phone is not connected to USB.

I did all this just for fun and its still the same! The phone says there are no sd cards inserted!
The computer still will not recognize it either!
I flashed the r10 rom and did a factory restore while still in recovery. No problems since then.

There is a separate SD fix, but that was included with the new rom apparently. I have seen posts that those who pushed that fix had it work.
If I go to settings>sd card and phone settings
both the sd card storage and the phone storage say unavailable!
this only happens when you are using 2.2 right?
yes.. its only on 2.2 roms.. and every one of them I have tried.. when I flash back to 2.1 it works great.. I am guessing its some sort of kernel issue...
I did get it rebooted into clockwork and wiped pretty much everything but the sdcard...did not do any good.. also tried moutning the sd card from clockwork with 2.2 installed...the sdcards did show up on the computer, but when clicking on them it said "Please insert a disk into this drive"

i have researched this for 3 days straight and have found a solution, their is no fix
1.) if you remove your sd card and reboot the phone with it not in there, your internal memory will mount just fine.
2.) so that made me think it was something wrong with my external card, so i went and bought another one, samsung branded, 8 gig class2 card, and what do you know, it mounted just fine.
3.) i did found out that when i flashed back to 2.1 it would see my old sd card, but when i upgraded to 2.2 it wont.
its like 2.2 does not like certain branded sd cards, the one that wouldnt work on 2.2 was made by A-Data

Interesting.. Thank you! I am rebooting without the sdcard now and sure enough the internal card is showing [email protected]
Mine is an 8gb class 6 card.. not sure what brand... I am going to format the sd card and see if that helps!
that was it.. I put my 2gb card in and it worked great.. the 8gb card worked great before, but apparently was not compatable with 2.2
i just recently went to the gingerbread leak rom and it was working fine fir the past week. the message said, Damaged sd card, Sd card damaged. you may have to reformat....
and when i try to mount the sd card by connecting the cables, i press connect and nothing happene\s but the circle keeps spinning for like a hour. please help. i have many photos and work schol work stuff on the phone that i need to transfer to the computer.
Hate to tell you, but you're most likely out of luck. The Gingerbread leak is known to cause problems with SD cards, thats why many recommend using a spare SD card.
I've seen utilities that search corrupted SD cards for files, you might try some sort of tool for that and see if you can get anything off of it.
After this if you want to run Gingerbread, I'd recommned you switch to Cyanogenmod 7, MIUI (what I'm running currently, love the miui launcher), or OMFGB.
I'm not sure if this is related but I will say it anyway. On my Droid X I flashed GB and a week later my phone did the exact same as yours. Error on the phone stating the card was damaged and it needed to be reformatted. I tried to reformat and it would not work on the phone. I tried on my computer and it would not even see the card. I searched for hours and hours and it seems like other's had the same issue. The only way I was able to reformat was to stick the card in my Blackberry and reformat. For some odd reason it picked it up. I did buy a new card just in case and will keep this one for a backup. Always back up your card on your computer on a weekly basis if you can. I lost years of photos.
Anyways I know it's a totally different phone but how weird is it that we both and others had the same issue when flashing to GB. Try to reformat on your computer or even try a different phone if you can. Sorry if this does not help you.

I second that this should've gone in Q&A... However, on your pc google 'piriform recuva' and download as this is a recovery utility that should be able to get back some of your data. You could also try formatting/mounting your card in CWR, I believe nitsuj had some luck restoring a fried card this way
tapatalked from my GingerBanged VZ Fascinate
Actually, the SD CARD DAMAGED message always does not mean the sd card is damaged, it only mean the system can not access it.
Try to use a sd card reader on the PC.
Also, there is a huge, gigantic 1559247pt font warning written in red right at the top of the thread that warns you about the rom possibly frying your sd card....
Edit: my bad, I was thinking of the comm rom thread, but there is a warning at the top of the leak thread also.... I don't mean to sound like an ass, but it really helps to read the OP thoroughly before flashing anything

Hi everyone,
First things first, sorry if this was covered somewhere else in the forums, I really didn't find this question anywhere so I "had" to post this.
I got my Samsung GT-I9003 4GB a month ago, and everything was working perfectly until 3 days ago. It starts showing an "Internal SD card unexpectedly removed" error whenever the phone goes standby, then it forces me to terminate processes one after another, and finally it shuts down. I hadn't done any kind of ROM flashing nor rooting the device until the problems arose, so I don't know where the problem comes from.
I've tried to re-flash froyo 2.2.1 in my device, but the problem keeps showing up.
I found in this forums this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088474) covering the possibility of swapping both internal memory and external SD. It works great, but I still had problems with the "external SD card" being "unexpectedly removed"...
It crossed my mind if it was possible to modify the vold.fstab file further to only detect the external SD card as the internal memory and ignore the internal memory, as if it wasn't even on the phone. I don't know if that's even possible (since I don't know much about file systems nor Android), but I'd appreciate your thoughts on the matter.

Was having the exact same problem with a further twist, the issue occured almost every half an hour at office and very rarely at home. Tried a factory reset and also GB update via Kies. Problem was still present, so have given it to samsung service and the service rep informed me that it was most likely a motherboard issue.
Recently one of my friends had the same issue. Samsung service center replaced the motheboard and the issue seems to be resolved.

Hi there everybody
I recently upgraded my phone to ICS aokp, more accurately, omega 3.0 rom and my usb transfer speeds from pc to phone have decreased drastically. I have an 32gb SDHC card class 10 that use to give me 10mb/s average speed transfer with GB and now it won't get over 4mb/s, if lucky. As for the internal memory, it won't get over 2mb/s and it used to be around 10mb/s as well. Transfers on the other way around (phone-to-pc) are better than ever, over 15mb/s.
Hope somebody knows a reason for this, a solution or a workaround.
Cheers
A quick look at the ROM page shows that the ROM has a mod called RemountSD. This stops you from being able to use mass storage to transfer files, only MTP works - this could be the source of your speed issues.

Nah, I've already tried that and it makes no difference. With or without applying RemoundSD, using MTP or Mass storage, trying other apps such as Dual mount SD ( I read somewhere that it worked as a workaround) and also changing the USB cable for a new one, the outcome is always the same, the pc-to-phone usb transfer speed won't go over 4mb/s when it used to be always 10mb/s.
Any other ideas of what could it be?
On CM9, I've got this too. On Mass Storage is insanely slow, but swiching to MTP will increase like 150% the speed.

Well, now it is going at about a third of the speed it was supposed to, I've tried switching to MTP too, also unmounting the SD or mounting it with the app that comes along with the rom, and the only thing I've got out of it is that the computer doesn't recognise the SD on its own, it opens the phone with the both main directories, internal storage and sd card, but the sd card appears to be wrong and won't open. In order to get to it, I have to open the internal storage, navigate to the external_sd folder and open it. Now, via this way I can get to it, but either way, the usb transfer speed is still about a third of what it used to be on GB, 4mb/s, never higher.

Try erasing the external sdcard on the Settings/Storage, maybe it's the file system error. But backup all your ext sdcard data, of course.

Nope, I doesn't work either, just tried that and my card won't even appear in settings/storage, its space is blank. Even though it doesn't seem to be there, it is and it works perfectly for everything in every other app, the only problem is that it doesn't write as fast as it should. In any case, I took it out and formate it all the same and put it back, etc, it is still the same.
Thanks for trying though
just saw the new omega rom 4.0 (AOKP built.37). I'm gonna give it a try and let you know if there is any difference.
I still find hard to believe that among all the people that has installed CM9/AOSP/AOKP roms, nobody seems to know any solution for this problem, talk about this problem or even try to give a possible solution/workaround for it.
Well, I'll keep trying since I really like everything else about the rom
Nah, I did install Omega 4.0 and it did improve the speed initially, but soon after that, after installing google apps, titanium backup and some other apps it gets slow again. I've tried different installation order just to check if it was any special app but it seems there is no link, at some point it just starts going that slow.
Working finally over MTP
Hi there again,
Well, I tried upgrading to v4.0, and before installing all the apps and personalising the rom, it worked, both on mass storage and MTP, the speed was around and over 10mb/s. However, after putting all my stuff together, it went back down again to 3.5-4mb/s.
Now, I read somewhere else that somehow my USB drivers could be in some kind of conflict with something else so I downloaded the last version and installed it and now it is working, only on MTP, but it goes up to 10mb/s again.
Thanks for your time again guys and your effort.
Cheers
I am having slow transfer speeds to the phone too, I tried reformatting my card and I still get slow speeds I dont eve reach 4mb only 1-2 mb and I am using a samsung class 10 card. But pulling items from the memory card to the pc is faster. I tried hydra ROM and RR Rom both give me slow usb transfer speeds.
im even experiencing speeds in regions of only 500 kb/s when im trying to transfer to my external card (class 6). but when im copying sth to my internal one it speeds up as always. is this the same with yours?
it seems to be the only way to change to mtp. but then im getting sometimes some weird errors when transferring to both cards.
im on slim ics.

I have the same problem. I am on Resurrection 1.8 right now, which is also aokp based. I have little understanding of 'mod'-s so I cannot tell if I suffer from the very same problem. Another problem is that in mass-storage-mode I can see only the internal memory, not the external.
So... 2 questions:
1. If the problem is the 'mod'... how can we fix it?
2. The common 'solution' for getting access to the external sdcard in mass-storage-mode is an apk called 'multi mount sdcard', but that doesn't work for me (don't know why...). Any other solution?
greetz & thanks in advance, FourthRock

Hi,
another forum recommended I register and ask my question here. I am not a techie. I don't know what I'm doing. This is probably a basic question, but with all the googling I've done, I can't find the answer!
Here goes, and please be easy on me:laugh:
My GS3 was running really slow, running down the battery, just in general not running as well as I remembered from a year before buying it. I decided to back it up, reset it and start from scratch. The phone has run AWESOME! One problem though; when it updated, it installed 4.3. Ever since, I can't do anything with my SD card. I get an error that the SD card is full, and if I look in the settings, it shows zero space on the SD card. If I plug it into my mac, it shows like 12gb of space.
I used to use Android File Transfer and that doesn't work anymore. I recently tried Airdroid, which works great for the internal storage, but tells me that my SD card is full.
Help!
PS I tried to post a link to a screenshot of what storage on my phone looks like, but since I'm a noob, I'm not allowed
When you upgrade to android 4.3 it will change your storage partition from sdcard0 to emulated/0 ... simply it will change its partition so all your old files will not be visible there but they are still in your memory... I suggest you find your old files and move them to new directory... There are many threads on how to find your old files.. Search
