I have inserted my sd card from another phone. It is 2GB. I formatted it to FAT32, still cant see on the phone ie on doing a mount I get only one card drive..other one is missing. Any ideas anyone?
well once it happened to me then I realized I didn't put micro SD right...lol...anyways so assuming u did everything right and still can't see micro sd and sd card and storage?...have you checked that card with another phone or MicroSD adapter....
I installed MIUI and stange external sd not working since last two updates.....
Also I installed Bali kernel over it....
Any help ?
Nobody mentioned what ROM you were besides last poster but I believe if you are still on gingerbread bootloaders than you won't be able to see external SD. Just my $.02

If you're on gb bootloaders + anything CM7 based, not external sdcard for you until you go back to froyo bootloaders.

I just upgraded to Bell's 2.2.2 OTA and now I need to root but I am not sure how... Gingerbreak requires a formatted SD card and i only have one and its in the atrix and has tons of stuff on it!
Any root method where I dont have to erase the SD?
Why not just back up all your files to your pc? That way you won't lose any data. I always back my files up anyway just in case.

Just unmount the internal storage and the SD card before running Gingerbreak.

Sorry to bring this painful memory up, but Gingerbreak needed a formatted SD card?! I've used it in the past with my SD card (both internal and external) filled with all sorts of stuff, and it still work (albeit it was a bit slower and took a few tries). And rule of thumb for anything relating to upgrading or the internal/external SD slots: BACK UP. It's so vital to do this, cause in the case that something happens, poof. =[ But good luck with the rooting!

Well I read in the Gingerbreak thread that you needed a formatted SD card
I ran some data recovery software and got recovered many things that were erased!
Thanks everyone

Mtd roms sometimes don't get along with some SD cards. You can try formatting in cwm. If you have a spare card try formatting and using that one.
Always use proper mounting, un mounting methods.
PWGB,TKSGB10-14, adren shot xix, honeycomb2.03, ec09 radio.

Mine is doing the same thing.
ok so in simple words i should...?
when you're formatting are you doing a full erase or a quick format?
you might try a full erase, check for bad sectors and what not, use easeus partiton manager, or gparted, of the sd card formatter.
Miui ate my samsung card about a month ago and it was unrecoverable.
What brand of sd card are you having problems with? stock samsung, sandisk , or kingston?
The samsung cards are known to be shotty to begin with.

my fascinate came with a san disk?
I have a 32gb San disk speed 4 that gets corrupted by the end of the day (works fine on touch wiz base roms). My Samsung 16gb micro sd seems to be the running fine on MIUI and CM7, never had a problem with it so I doubt its the brand

Got a question, is it the kernel that's causing this? Been using jt's kernel cause its the most stable, can anyone verify that's using any other kernels.

i doing the format by tapping on it in the pop-up at the status bar which i get when i restart my phone (after the reboot i get the pop-up that said my sd card is corrupted n i need to format it so i can use it again...). should i do it differently? and i have a sandisk sd card but it worked actually really fine when i bought it, so i dunno what happened...
so i need to do an hard format?
I had the same problem when I updated to Miui i can't remember the exact build i think week 90? Stock Samsung 16 gb... I was running stock kernel which I believe to be Jt's no? now I'm reduced to a 2bg until I get money to buy yet another card -.-
What kind of error notifications did you guys get?
If you got one saying something like bad sd card
All you need to do is unmount it, and remove it off the phone
Then reboot, and pop it back in

How did you format yours? Through the phone or using the computer? Damn formatting through the computer takes 30 min for me. I have not tried formatting through the phone yet cause I heard its one of the guarantees of frying the sd cards on EC09 days, not sure if this roms frying abilities is the same.
Btw it seem to only damage my 32GB San disk, my stock Samsung sd card is surviving MTD roms

thru the phone
Hey,
I'm unable to access the SD card via any form once im booted into the ROM.
I can view the SD card in CMW and read from it.
The SD card is accessible via a USB cable when unmounted.
I have flashed the phone with several different ROMs.
I have formatted the SD card
I have tried different SD card
All have the same result, unable access when in the ROM.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Any idea on how to troubleshoot further or ideally, anyone know a fix?
Hope you can help!
Cheers,
Will

Apologies, Currently I'm using CM7, however i have attempted to use Aura and Gingerblur with the same result.
i too am having the same issue. i am on whatever teh official .91 is. phone is unlocked/rooted. no special rom here yet. about to flash ninja .04.....
just curious if there is any fix out there that tells the phone to use it....
no one else experiencing this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated..
some more info, if I attempt to mount SD card in CM recovery I get the following error:
E: Unable to write to ums Iunfile (No such file or directory)
The external SD card in CM7 is at mnt/emmc not mnt/sd-ext.
Before I ever started flashing kernels or ROMs my GS2 sees my internal card as the SD Micro card and my SD Card as the internal card?? Anyone else have this or know why this is??
Example, just now I went into CWM to update my SHOstock ROM and had to choose internal card for it to see the update even though I put the update on the SD Card..
same thing happened to me yesterday when i flashed my gs2 for the first time. i thought at first i accidentally loaded the zip onto my internal sd accidentally but i double checked and it was definitely on the external sd.
That's just the way it works on Entropy's kernel. I believe it even says so in his thread.

Yup. Someone didn't read the Changelog.
Cyanogenmod labels their partitions differently than Samsung-derived ROMs (Samsungs don't follow the current Android standard).
Right now the CWM binary in Daily Driver is pulled straight from CM7, so I haven't had a chance to recompile and label the external SD as external instead of internal

Hey guys. How do I make the external SD card the default location to where my data goes. I bought 9 MM And it required a full gig of data and it all went on my internal storage

No clue - turns out that what the OP was talking about was how CWM reports internal vs. external.
how do i switch the interal sd card(emmc) to external sd card(sdcard) back to normal? currently its ext sdcard(emmc) and internal(sd card)...i believe thats the reason why my external files arent visible on my phone because my phones external sd card is emmc (took out my microsd and in cwm said cant mount emmc) and my internal sd is sd card aka ext sd. if that makes sense... is that better that way with the vibrant? is it rom related? i do know its been like that since i switched to miui. im running docs ics v12 now. is there a way to create a path to the ext card(mounted as emmc) on the sd card root path? so if my internal sd is set to be extsd it thinks its its saving on the extsd but isnt so it wont have a external sd path? and my external is set to be internal so i cant save anything on it with my phone though i wonder if when i flash a rom those files are saved to my ext.. so if i were to format my emmc (extsd) would that mess my phone. f-it im about to try it now lol.. formated, done, reboot... well i dont think it hurt anything and i know my extsd is completly wiped now but im still stuck with the problem on not being able to transer anything from my internal sd to extsd because there is no path for it in the file browser, i dont really want to go through the trouble of backing up my internal sd card, formatting that hoping it doest brick my phone like ive read b4, putting what files i want back on it, just to be stuck with same problem an hour later. seems like there are many post on this but ive yet to find an easy solution. i know someone has had to of come up with a fix for this... thanks
I'm running with internal sdcard only, but used to use external. Cyanogenmod handles both fine. I tried AOKP build 35 and had no sdcard, and tricks I tried with symlinks or mount -bind had no effect. So one fix is to find a good rom. There may be other ways around it.
I flashed aokp build 36 a few days ago and my internal and SD was switched too. I found this file posted by Mr. Physco and flashed my memory back to normal. I'll try to find link and repost

so does anyone know of a good ics ROM that supports both sd cards? Last ROM I used that supported both sd cards I think was bionix v. I guess it's really not that big of deal since I can stream my music with google music, but I would like to use the empty 16GB memory card I have in my phone for game data or movies. So Akop build 36 has a fix for that? I'll have to check it out, thanks

Try CM9. That one supported both my SD's (Galaxy Player 5.0). But, beware of directory changes. The external SD is now under "mnnt/emmc/".
