So I'm using the USB mass storage to copy my files and such then I accidentally pulled out the USB cable without safety and pressing the 'turn off USB storage'. Then something weird happen. Some of my apps I just installed like 5-10 mins earlier missing. Then I thought I just download it back.
The next day I took a picture its like 20 of it and I watch them in gallery. Then my phone switch off and I turn it back on. All my apps and photos I just took 5 mins earlier is gone. Only the apps and photos I took before the accident happen were still there. Than I thought now I need to format my SD card to fix this.
So I cut all my stuff again to pc via USB storage. Then I go to cwm recovery and wipe all data. Then I try rebooting my phone but then all my apps and stuff are still there like normal its not supposed to be like that because I just formatted my SD card 1 min ago.
Then I try formatting my SC card again in the cmw recovery and I noticed after I choose wipe data factory reset it said failed, error or something like that and said SD card not mount. I've try formatting it in so many ways via PC, and in the settings>privacy but it just that my SD card can't be formatted.
Please help me, and I'm using Mik cm7 rom btw
your sdcard might be corrupted. are you using the sdcard that came with the phone?

No I'm using a new 8gb memory card that I bought separately from the market
use amon ra recovery to format it, or try via adb (u can google for how to)
Any other way?

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.
I am rooting my daughters Droid Eris. I used the app from the market and flashed Cyanogen 7. Everything went well until I tried to start restoring her apps and found that the phone is saying there is no sd card. When I go into setting to mount it it is greyed out and wont do anything. the gallery and rom manager also say there is no sd card. the card I am using is not partitioned. I tried taking a partitioned sd out of my old Cliq and putting it in and then it says it has a unsupported system or something like that but I did notice that the mount sd in settings was no longer greyed out. If I reboot into recovery it will recognize the card because it lists what is on it. I have searched everything I can find and cant find any answers. Oh, also, when I plug in the usb to the computer it does nothing then either. Any Ideas??
Go into recovery since her phone can read the card from there and reformat the card. You may also want to wipe data and dalvik and reflash the rom to be on the safe side.
Make sure that you backup anything currently on the SD card before formatting it, which you can do from the usb-ms toggle option in recovery. You will need to copy the rom file back to the phone after formatting the card which can be done from this option as well.
There should be an android.secured folder on the SD card. Delete that. You don't want it on there so make sure you don't copy it back to the card (it will come back after the first boot and it can then be left alone, I like to delete mine before each flash though to avoid possible problems.)
EDIT - DONT FORGET TO FLASH GAPPS RIGHT AFTER FLASH THE ROM! ALL CM7 ROMS REQUIRE THIS!
Let me know if you have any problems

Hey all. I've been struggling with sdcard issues running MIUI on my fascinate and I decided to try and format the sdcard from within CWM (4.0.0.5). It has been sitting at "Formatting /sdcard..." for the past 15 minutes. I'm trying to figure out if its actually still doing anything or if I should just pull the battery and try something else. How long does the format usually take? (its a 16g card). Thank you all in advance!
EDIT: So after waiting about 45 minutes I just pulled the battery. It doesnt recognize the SD card any more (big surprise -_-). Hopefully I dont have to buy a new card.
I always use my digital camera to format my sd cards. I have never tried formatting via cwm so I can't speak for that, but I have used my camera twice and it worked like a charm. I think you can also format by hooking your phone up to a PC and formatting it via windows but I have never tried that either.

Yeah I agree with the above, usually devices other than the device you actually want to use the card with will do a better job. Put the card in a camera, computer, Wii, something else that can format and then use them to format completely and then use the phone to format the card to whatever it needs and it should work correctly.
I'm using S2E on my HTC Aria on CyanogenMod 7.2 for quite a long while. However I've never removed my SD card since then. Anyhow, today I accidentally removed my SD card from the phone without switching it off or anything. My phone went to black and does not respond till I pull the battery.
However after I boot it back up, all my apps were gone. There's not even Android Icons to show that the apps were installed but have no data thus becoming null. It is totally gone and my phone booted up as new as I just flashed CM7.2 with no GApps.
As much as I know my phone did not factory data reset because I've flashed in GApps, and after reset, it should still be in there. My phone did not detect my SD card but I did not bother and went straight to hard resetting my phone and reformatting my SD card and start getting back my apps all over again.
Now that I know I mustn't pull out my SD card at anytime I wish to, my question is....
Can I have my phone in USB Mass Storage mode while using S2E? I've not tried that and I'm not willing to download my apps all over again thus I'm asking before I do so.By right USB Mass Storage kinda unmount the SD card from your device while it is ON. Logically thinking, all my apps will be gone again. However, am I right? :silly:

Use link2sd...
With that, only the fat partition gets mounted, and the ext partition (I assume that's the format of your partition) will remain mounted on your phone...

I have an LG g4 Beat (h735ar) i just updated it to MM and i found out online that i could adopt a MicroSD card as internal, which is nice since the phone comes with 8GB of storage and almost 5 are taken by the system, so i bught a kingston 32gb class 10 micro SD card and via ADB i formated it as internal storage, at first everything was fine, i could install apps on it, but after 2 days when i woke up and went to grab my phone, some apps that were installed on the sd card and were running on the background started to stop working, so i decided to reboot the phone, after it rebooted the sd card was not longer readable by the phone it shows a notification that says "Cannot use SD card. Tap to set up for use." i tried tapping on it, it prompts me to format it as portable, and when i try to do it, i doesnt work, it goes up to 20% and then closes, i tried formatting the sd card on windows via multiple ways and programs (tried DISKPART with the command "clean all", also tried sd formatter and EasyUS partition master but they didnt work)i tried on ubuntu, also didnt work, i tried using gparted and partition wizard but they didnt work neither, so i thought the SD was defective and went where i bought it, i got a replacement, i did exactly the same with the new one and it happened againt (probably not the smartest idea, but i didnt have any reason to think it would happen again), i've been trying everything i found online and nothing works, now aparently i have to decrypt it by using a key located in /data/misc/vold, but at first the key wasnt there, now it just appeared, but now the problem is that my ubuntu machine just doesnt recognize it, it shows when i open Disks, but it doesnt seem to be mounted, and i cant fix it.
Does someone know another way to fix it? i could just get a new one probably and not set it up as internal, but i'd like to fix it mostly because im kinda embarassed to have to return a second sd card.
Had the same problem.Took the same steps.Luckily I had copied the sdcard contents to my computer.Factory reset didn't help.This is what worked.I have a samsung phone ,so I used odin to reinstall the stock rom.The sdcard was immediately recognized.I copied the files from computer to sd.All is right!!!
