Yes I did reboot but still says the sd card is not there under settings, however if I boot via xRecovery I can access the sd card with the xRecovery menu
I did try deleting the android folder on the sd card, still no help I guess I could tryu a different sd card when I get home
well getting further, it wrks with my 2gb sd card just not with the 8gb card even when I did a reformat,
I have a LG MS500 with metro pcs, i had used aparted to partion my card and link files to my sd card. I had a glitch trying to add a boot image and had to factory reset my phone in order to get it to work again, now my memory card will read what was on the external storage partion of the card, but it cant be modified,and ive tried to format the card with numerous apps. when i attach the phone to the pc, it will show the card and i can access it, but any formatting programs wont see the card, any suggestions???
Hey,
For the past month my rooted SCH-I545 (Verizon) S4 has had an error notification that my external SD card is corrupt and needs to be formatted.
Tried connecting the SD card to a card reader, which it wouldn't show up.
Then tried connecting through mounting in Safestrap, which nothing would show up there either.
Ended up formatting it through the phone and the SD card now appears in MTP mode, but still doesn't show when removed from the phone and placed in the card reader or from Safestrap.
How can I either enable UMS to access the drive through the phone to recover files or otherwise gain access to the files formatted on my SD card?
P.s.. Recuva and TestDisk at the ready -- just can't select the SD card when in MTP.
When i have my SD installed on my phone and try to enter on recovery mode (TWRP) it gets stuck on TWRP Boot logo, i need to pull my battery to shutdown the phone.
if i remove the SDCard and try to boot into recovery it works without any problem.
i installed TWRP through AutoRec from Play Store.
Now i'm on marshamallow and i use the SD Card as internal memory, so i dont know if i can remove it without cause any problems just to use TWRP.

When you decide to make your sd card "Adoptable (internal) Storage" your phone not only incorporates the card as internal, but it also ENCRYPTS your sd card. Now the only device that will read your card is your phone. Try and load it on a desktop or your laptop and it won't even recognize your card. Because it encrypts your SD CARD, TWRP cannot see your card and thus gets stuck on the TEAMWIN screen when booting into recovery. When you remove the card and reboot into recovery, then TWRP works again. How I fixed it is to go to storage, and settings and change the card back to "Transportable (extrnal) Storage." The phone will reformat your card again (thus erasing everything on the card) and make it external and able to be read from any device (laptop, desktop, etc.). This will also allow TWRP to see the card again and will not freeze on TEAMWIN screen when booting into recovery. Also, if you revert the sd card back to Transportable Storage, your phone will "remember" that you had an SD CARD assigned to Adoptable Storage. You need to click on that SD CARD and choose "FORGET" card. this will remove that SD CARD and assign your newly reformatted Transportable SD CARD as the only card on your phone. If you don't do this "FORGET" step, your camera, your gallery will force close everytime you try to open it because it is looking for the Adoptable SD CARD that you got rid of yet your phone still thinks it exists. Once you "FORGET" that SD CARD, your phone will function properly. I learned all this the hard way and hours and hours of reading.
TWRP - Does hybrid partitioning possible after SD Card reverting Int->Ext allocation?

Thanks a lot texasjmzmd for your diagnostic and fix, very helpful! TWRP documentation says nothing about possible hybrid partitioning Int+Ext to extend Internal memory keeping External capacity, except the menu proposing to allocate some memory (with no precision about memory units bytes/kbytes/mbytes). Some enlightment about that issue would be more than welcome : a link to documentation or any related post.
Hello there.
I have android phone with 9.0 firmware. When I bought the SD card and installed it, my phone asked me how I would use it.
I selected this variant:
Internal storage:
You can store apps and data for this device only. If you move the SD card to another device, the SD card will be erased ("formatted"). After the SD card is erased, you can use it with the other device.

The problem is that:
I got bootloop after some manipulations with firmware. So I had to make Factory Reset. Before that I've removed SD card from phone. And now I can't use this SD, because it's ext4 and something like "protected". My PC can't open disk even with ext4 reading tools. When I install this SD to the phone, it asks to formate SD and select the option of use.
How can I get back my data from this SD card?
