Okay thanks to this amazing community I can now use my vibrant as a phone again! There is still one last problem that is making it so my vibrant wont work. When I power it on after using odin, it boots up as normal then goes into its scan for media, then pops up and says "Removed Internal SD Card" and goes away right away. After that it gives me the cant read micro sd card error. When I go into settings it shows that both the internal and the external SD cards are unavailable. Although it does show the 1.7gb that I have for apps. Everything works as normal, but I cannot use the camera, I cant root the device, or have any apps that require files beyond the .apk. Again any help with this would be amazing!

can you unmount/mount then reboot? Never heard of this before, and you sound like you had other issues but I don't know what since you created a new thread (I suppose?)
oh sorry http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043892 is my last issue. When I go into settings it is all greyed out. I cant click on it at all.

The other night I was trying to finish rooting my Nook, and think that I may have done something that I shouldn't have in the midst of my sleep deprived night. My best guess is that I did a format on the Nook instead of my sd card. I woke up and turned it on, and it asked for a factory reset, which I did. Then when trying to setup the device a message would pop up that said restart required your NOOK encountered a problem hat requires a system restart. Then when I hit okay another message shows that states the device could not restart. I managed to get to the main screen, but the messages still come up when turning the device off and then back on.
When I connect it to my pc, it no longer shows that the device or sd card that's inside are connected. One other thing I noticed is that when going into settings, under other storage available it says 0.00B free of 0.00B. I am able to connect to the internet and use it as well as the other apps loaded, but when trying to save anything off the internet a message shows that reads, an SD card is needed, even though there is an sd card in and the notifications shows SD card inserted. The SD card also shows when viewing my memory.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Any help or ideas of what I could could possibly do to get this back to full functionality would be greatly appreciated.

This was exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Hi everyone!
This is sort of my first post on here, so please correct me if I'm posting the wrong place or anything like that
I'm fairly new to all the rooting and custom ROMs and all, but i enjoy it - it works great!
Now, though, I have a serious issue! I've been running the stock CM10 ROM for about a month now, and I haven't encountered anything huge of problems and been updating it almost every day with newest nightlies. But then suddenly one day my phone couldn't mount the internal storage. And it was like at a random time. I hadn't installed anything or changed anything, i had just taken a picture with the camera..
When I go to settings > storage I get a "Internal storage: 1.97 GB - apps: 868 MB - available: 868MB. and underneath that it says "Internal storage: Mount SD card", however nothing happens when i press it. When using a file manager, I can still see the extSD. I've been googling everything like crazy, tried every solution to what looked to be the same issue but no results! Even when booting CWM and go to mount, it can't mount the mnt/emmc or format it or the SD card. It just says "error running /emmc!".
I haven't tried to factory reset as I would like this to be the last thing tried as I don't like setting my phone up again.
Please help! I can't take photos, watch my photos, listen to music or run half of my apps!
So, what's the status? No one knows what to do?

Thanks for reply!
I haven't tried exactly that app, but I've tried a lot of remount / mount SD card apps. But isn't RemountSD just to use extSD instead of internalSD?
Sorry, I can't try it atm. I can't download anything directly from my phone "without an SD" as it says.. and i don't have a USB cable or SD card reader atm.
First of all, one of our relatives gave my mom a Samsung Galaxy tab 7.0 Korean clone tablet, but the real device name is Softwinners V706, which runs on android 4.0.4. and has 5.05gb of sd or internal storage. First it was very descent, easy to use. But then, When I install apps on google play like Hungry Shark Evo, Dead Trigger, apps with very large files, an error pop up and said "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card". The solution was unmount the External memory card then mount it back again. But the tablet we were using didn't have an External memory card yet. And here's another problem. I tried to move apps to INTERNAL memory of the tablet, an example was the game "pou", It won't save. what I mean about it wont save, it becomes some thing like this, "me.pou.app", and becomes missing on the app drawer. another is the pictures and even screenshots, it won't save on the Internal memory of the tablet. We are new to this android thing. Please help us! I used the camera of my phone because the tablet won't save pictures for the screenshots.

oh, Thanks for your response, really appreciate it. Hope someone really helps me. hehe thanks again :good:
trying to root this phone, its on 2.3.5 and not activated,i can get past the activation screen no problem but the problem is the sd card seems to "not be there" when it boots up it says media scanner running(sd card) and then 2 minutes later when i go to see it in my options its as if its not even there. it says total space is unavailable and won't give me a option to mount( option is in grey). but the weird part is when i take out my sd card it gives me an option to mount my sd card and its not in grey anymore and the option will work as it should (but no sd card is actually in it) I'm really confused and i want to root very bad but I'm pretty sure you can't root without a sd, right?

Others know more than I do about this. But I know with the Odin software you can flash the stock firmware with no sd card needed, you just need to follow the directions exactly for using Odin.. I think there is a stock firmware that is rooted also that you can use. The Geewiz rom I think also allows you to flash an image of that rom using Odin, without needing the sd card.
I broke my phone and replaced like for like with a new Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3. I'm stumped as to why I can't grant access to apps to the SD card.
The phone is running lollipop, not rooted. The SD card is 128 GB, formatted exFAT, with a volume label (JE-SDCard).
I've already gone through a) complete factory reset and b) remove the card, reformat and try again. Neither worked.
I can access the card fine (add, delete, move) through the stock Filer app. Some apps (DroidTV) can access the card fine. But when I try to use SDMaid or Solid Explorer, the apps try to go through the grant access process, but when the OPEN FROM dialog comes up, it only shows two entries: RECENT and INTERNAL STORAGE, with no option to select the SD card. I have checked and unchecked the HIDE SD CARD/SHOW SD CARD options in the menu, with no affect.
I don't particularly want to root, as my banking app won't work on a rooted phone, but may have no other option. I've searched lots of online sources of Android help, and the only things I've seen to resolve this are to ensure the card is labelled (it is) and to check that SHOW SD CARD is enabled (it is). Anyone have any ideas?

I've searched extensively on Google, and have done everything suggested: reformat card, ensure card has a label, factory reset, ensure SHOW SD is selected, etc. None of these have worked for me. Just checking to see if anyone else had had the same issue that can't be resolved by the usual fixes.
Thanks.

have u tried other sd cards on your phone?
if those works.
There's must b a problem with this phone and cards compatibility.
Hi
I've got this too - I'm sure it was working last week - I decided it was time for a reset of my phone and to update to latest firmware (I'm rooted so updates don't drop in automatically) now I can never see anything in the GRant Access box, apart from "recent" regardless of "SHow SD Card"
OP: if the phone is new, take it to the shop and show its not working. Get a working replacement, dont bother fixing whats clearly broken when it shouldnt be.
Eserim: mine does that if its been plugged into the pc, then unplug it. sometimes it doesnt show. I have to reboot and then it works fine, I dont know why it does this sometimes.

Can the phone even support a card that big. If I recall right that device has a max sdcard size of 64gb.

Good point, my other phone only half accesses my 256 gb card, sometimes not at all.
