Hi!
Today I connected my phone to PC and moved some apps to it. While I was doing that, my phone's screen became like this:
http://neversixfeetunder.synthasite.com/resources/fuzzy20tv20screen20.jpg
.. and the phone was stucked. Then I hanged the power button and it turned off. When I was turning it on, LG logo was showing for about 6 seconds and then the screen was blank and only after ~20 seconds was the LG splash logo.
Well, when it turned on, in notifications there's showing "Preparing SD card; Checking for errors.".
Is this a problem with my phone or the SD card?
P.S. In 'SD card & phone storage settings' it says that SD card's space (total and available) is unavailable. Also it isn't possible to mount or format sd card.
I'll be glad if someone will help me.
Sorry for my English.
Oh, and I forgot to say that yesterday I installed franco kernel (v17). I have Megatron ROM.
Looks like the card is faulty/dead. You can try reformatting it in PC, but do not rely on it to keep your data for long, even if it helps.
I'll try to insert this SD card in other phone and watch, is it working or not.
I hope, it's dead and everything with my phone is alright.
P.S. I rebooted my phone again and the blank screen was only for ~3 seconds
(with removed sd card).
Thank you for your reply
EDIT: It's working in the other phone.
EDIT 2: I formated the card in the other phone and now it's working in mine, too.
What could be the problem? I had an app called "SD Speed Boost" and it was set to max. Maybe this is the reason?

omg now my phone cant boot up stuck at the android logo. again.
Use a microsd adaptor so that you can access your card using a card reader. If you have to borrow it from a friend. The same thing happened to me and I just copied everything to my PC, formatted the card, put it back in the phone, and just for assurance, formatted it using the custom recovery. Now everything works perfectly fine.
yep. use a microsd card adaptor. if you don't have one then buy.
i think your problem is on sd the sd card.
i inserted a broken sd card once on my phone, one time it boots up and sometimes it wont. but when it do boots up, my phone freezes whenever i try to access the contents of that sd card.
What SD card you have in your phone?
Good investment should be Sandisk or Lexar 8 Gb 4x.
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 there,
I really hope you can help me.
A few days ago my phone tells me my memory is running low. I took a look, and low and behold there's feck all memory left. Which is odd because I'm careful about what I install. So, to begin with I download App2SD to move some applications to the SD card. App2SD then tells me that I have no external memory card, or it's virtual memory - which is odd, because all my music is on the SD card and I've no problem playing any of it. So, a few days later the phone tells me the SD card is no longer working, and I should try reformat it, today being the first day I've had some time free I decided to see if I could rescue some photos before formatting it, so I plugged in to my computer to browse the phone and see if I could see the SD card and photos.
After further inspection I discovered that the camera hasn't been saving pictures to the SD card as I'd originally set it to, so there's over 4GB of photos on the main memory, causing my low memory problems. So I started moving photos from the phone memory to the computer, copying and pasting onto my laptop, then deleting from the phone.
While doing this the phone kept crashing and restarting. Eventually (after many reboots) I managed to free about 1.5GB of the phone memory.
The phone crashed again. This time however, I get a message saying something along the lines of "cannot encrypt device, please reboot the phone".
Since then when I power up the phone I get "Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".
I tried rebooting but nothing happens, the phone hangs at the start up screen (after the Samsung logo, where the model number is displayed).
I've tried re-installing the firmware with Kies, which didn't work. Then I tried the emergency recovery, which also didn't work.
Has anyone got any advice??
I'm running the official Samsung binary.
I use nova launcher.
Awesome newb video by the way! Made me laugh...
Just rooted and I like it, I don't wanna go back, but I can't get the microsd to pick up...I'll give all the info I can--def newb to root/droid but my background is IT, so hopefully we can figure out how to fix it so I can keep the root and not go back to stock(if that would even repair the problem)
Got a pny 32G microSD, droid incredible 4g lte(Verizon) that I rooted using the unlock script and fakeCID and then loaded Vipers Venom LTE custom rom...somewhere in this process-I think right after unlocking-it quit accessing the sd card...I've looked around and read some things about this 'USB brick' thing, but I don't know if it's applicable to me...here's what it does now:
SD card is in phone, but under 'Storage' Total Space and Available show unavailable, and everything else is greyed. If I try and pull the card the phone gives me the 'sd card unexpectedly removed' error.
Windows XP has no issue reading/writing to this card with a card reader. I've formatted a few times fat32 with xp(which i hate doing)and put it back in the phone, with the phone off, booted, and nothing happens. Oddly, when it first happened, after installing the custom ROM, when I'd do this procedure the phone would see the card on boot, but stay forever on 'preparing sd card/checking for errors' and never complete.
Back on the phone side of things, booting into the 'recovery mode', where you flash and whatever, it can see the card, see it's contents, and I wrote some sort of log to the card(option in the menu), so it can access it...oddly, I could not load my Viper rom from the microsd card, it failed on the file, but put it under some folder on the phone and that's how i ended up flashing the ROM, which I was nervous about doing as everything I saw said put the rom on the external sd card...
If I plug the phone into the XP pc via usb cable, choose use as disk drive, no problem accessing phone data, but 'please insert disk' on the card. Cannot push data when in usb debug mode via adb commands either. Oddly, dunno if this is related, it gives me 2 drives and also a CD ROM drive--tried dialing that##7 number for the option to disable cd rom, but it was already disabled. Dunno if this is related, but throwing it in there.
Tried chkdsk on the sd card with Xp, no errors, no problems. Hell, the card's not two weeks old and I've only had the phone a little over a month. I've done a bit of research the past couple of days and the only thing I haven't tried is the very confusing procedure i've seen for some of these 'usb brick' problems, but is that my problem. I'm hoping if all else fails i can go back to stock, just downloaded the stock rom, but will that even fix it? Gots to have my trailer park boys on my sd card to watch! Thanks for the help guys and gals! Sorry for the long post, but I like to give info--if kernel version or any other data like that is required, I can post it.

i tried to slim down your quote, but from my experience i'd still say the sd-card is somehow busted! i had a similar prob with the SD card in my Dinc4G two weeks ago. i _was_ r/w quite fine even from custom rom and at one point, the card just quit. removing and reinserting just ended in "preparing sd-card" and directly after that "safe for removal" ... wasn't able to access it any more within Viper, recovery (TWRP for me) was still seeing the card fine just like on your end.
putting the SD-card into a Win-laptop it _appeared_ fine and came error-free with scandisk etc ... BUT when i tried to backup all data from it before formatting (had like 10G on my 16G card) there were a couple of files that failed to read and i could NOT recover at all anymore. I formatted the SD-card again after that (full format, not fast/quick!) ... and put most of the files back. it is working again now in my Dinc4G but the card sure has some defect sectors (and usually _tends to die soon_ after such errors appear first!
i'd heavily recommend that you try to source some other micro-sd card first and try if you custom rom can read from it again. if that works fine and you see your SD-card from within the settings menu in the rom. you can be pretty sure that it's really the card.
PS: even brand new mem cards tend to fail at times :cyclops: ... just try to erase all private data on it (means: _fully overwrite_ with other stuff until the card is completelly filled) ... and then try to get a replacement from where you got your (fairly new) SD card from.
hope that helps a bit
i agree with the above post... try a different card. if formatting it doesn't fix it, it's time to try a new card.

Thank you for the help, I resolved this issue, as it is the card, but now I have a different issue, unfortunately...
Hey everyone.
I have been experiencing a huge problem for me, with my p760. I`m on latest PAC version, and about a week ago i had problems with UMS, while copying files from computer to my LG, suddenly the task froze, i couldn't turn off Mass Storage from phone either, so i just unplugged the device after aprox. 6 min of waiting. The result was in phone shutdown. I turnt back on, and tried once more, sadly the same happened, but this time i received a nice present of soft brick. I couldn't even turn my phone on in recovery (thanks to TWRP), i managed to flash CWM through fastboot, then made a factory reset, and phone booted up, but ever since the time, i am unable to copy files to SD card through UMS, and MTP doesn't work at all. So i'm stuck now. I want to reinstall phone, upgrade to new ROM, i know possibilities are just to download a new ROM through phone, but i like the PAC, so do you have any solution or tips to fixing this? Oh, also everytime i connect phone, it shows me that my SD card needs to be scanned for errors, i always skipped, 'til i tried, and no luck. 20min of waiting to tell me, it is all right with SD.
First use an external SD reader to scan for errors and eventually try substituting the SD to see if it's a phone or a SD problem. Second you can always flash a rom from internal SD!

I didn't thought about the internal SD, but still a KK disables Internal SD Emulation, i can't copy files to it through PC the "normal" way. How can i copy from PC to Internal SD?
