Hey, I recently got a damaged SD card message, and before I do anything, I have a few questions.
I'm on CM7.
1. Does anyone know what usually causes this? It seemed unprompted.
2. If I reformat (hopefully I'll be able to get all my stuff backed up), what do I do about "update.zip." Does CWM still need that to run? Where do I get the zip from?
3. What is the best thing to use to reformat it?

If your already on cm7, update.zip is unneeded, so don't worry about that.
Most if the time its ec09 that eats sd cards but on cm7 its not really common...were you ever on an ec09 build?
I suggest using a digital camera to format it after you have backed yet up of course.

Ok so I bought a new 8gb card today but it would not let me put anything on it. Started showing that mounting error that has been affecting the leaked froyo Roms. So after about 2 hours trying to get it to work I decided to install the Leaked Stock Froyo Rom instead. using Odin.bad move on my part because now after a new install. I'm getting the mounting error on my internal SD card now.wont let me transfer files or music over without that dam mounting error. Tried everything.problem is I can't get the mountingfix to flash now using Rom Manager. Wont work.think its because its for e2 recovery and I'm now using e3 recovery. Someone please help me out.I'm about to loose my mind. I'm stressed to the breaking point. I lost my dad on Tuesday night from cancer. I'm trying to take my mind off it by using my phone for music and videos.so please help me out.thanks a million friends!

I am trying to flash the mountingfix.zip file by putting it onto my internal sd. Upon reboot into Android system recovery 3e, and choosing "reinstall packages."
I get the following problem:
E:failed to open /mnt/internal_sd/update.zip (No such file or directory)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Any fix for this issue please!

You can try pushing the file with adb and be sure of the directory, also it's case sensitive. And have you full formatted the sdcard to fat32?
I'm sorry, I know how it feels to lose someone close to you.

Just tried reformatting it through system recovering and also the SD card setting.didn't do fat32. And why do almost all the froyo Rom's have that mounting error. Even the T-Mobile froyo Rom has that issue. And yea i was close to my dad.

How would I reformat the internal SD card with fat32? That's the one I'm having issues with.the external SD card started work.so now i just need the internal one to work!

Can't you fastboot flash the e2 recovery and try again? Or try another sdcard to see if the card is the problem or not. I know you're probably not that a rookie with this stuff but sometimes you can forget some simple solutions.

I need to get back to e2 recovery or make the internal SD card work. Any ideas. Shh driving me nuts
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Any ideas please. I don't care about flashing or using other Roms. I just want this dam froyo rom to work correctly. Can't use the internal SD card to save music or anything else to it. So please help me out!

What kernel are you running? I had that same error when I ran eugene super kernel. Try a diff kernel. Also can you copy it.to your external then move it to your internal thru your phone. I had to do it that way on axura 2.1. Im sorry for loss bro. Ill keep you in my prayers.

Running Stock Leaked Froyo Rom

First of all, I am very sorry for your loss.
I think that the problem may not be your sd. I think it's a problem with Clockwork. Check out this thread and see if it helps.
HOLY SH-T
this just happened to me too haha!
I was trying to get into ClockWork, by clicking reinstall packages, it said the same error as yours because i deleted the update.zip which you probably did...
Here's what i did to fix, on ROM Manager, i clicked INSTALL CLOCKWORK RECOVERY
and the update.zip appeared on my SD and it started working again.
Sorry about your dad.
Is this going to fix my internal SD card issue? How do I fix this issue without using the mountingfix.zip? I'm now using e3 recovery not e2 so wont let me install any update.zip file. Using Rom manager. Can't get clockwork recovery to work with my Stock Leaked Froyo Rom. So how do i fix this issue. Not looking to flash a new Rom just want my internal memory card to work right! Thanks a million

I installed CM7 recently and flashed CM7 OTB newest test 2.6.35.13 kernel. it's been great until a reboot I did just now...it says damaged sd card, reformat blah.
is there a way to revert it? I can't format my sd since I have important documents inside...
I had this problem too. I just pulled the sd card out and put it back in a few times and it started working again
Try it, can't hurt. Maybe I was just lucky though.

Oddly enough I have the same problem. No matter what my sd looks jacked. I mounted and saved to a pc but no matter what it won't save anymore and won't format.... Odd.
I'm terrified...I can't get into recovery and even if I do I have no access to files. Can someone tell me how to fix my sd card?...I need to recover my files inside.
Use a card reader and save your **** on a pc. If you can at this point.
good day. using xda premium.

I don't have a reader but I will buy one. I already tried repartitioning and went to ed01 but same error persists; can't get sd card working, and can't get into recovery even after odin cwm3 flash
So I'm running JT's vanilla Gingerbread. And after a day my SD card is not showing to be inserted thru gallery or if I try to download to. However I can play my music find ringtones on the card view pictures thru other apps and when I go to storage under setting it say card mounted and shows memory. Also something else weird is I can't delete anything from the card. Not really sure what's the problem and could use some advice Thx. (update) So two days now I've realized the problem has nothing to do with the SD card it self, everything is still there and I can do back ups from it as well as export contacts and flash in recovery. The problem seems to be somewhere in the rom. Gallery show a message "Sd unmount or not present" as well as I can't delete anything from the card thru the phone. Root explorer says it's deleted but it's not, every other way I try I get a "file can't be deleted" message. I can view pictures and video thru astro just not thru gallery. So I'm thinking this is not a wiped or fried Sd card issue but something with thew rom, I'll try flashing powerwashed rom and see if the problem continues and update.
If your running anything gingerbread expect your sd card to get wiped, do a backup asap.
Keep me Fascinated.
I am having the same problem

I would try backing up the card, then formatting. Not sure if it will work, but it's something to try.

So my problem continued next i was getting the status 7 code about recovery can't mont so here's what i did. Go to the how to go back to stock thread and follow the directions. Odin the CWR v4. Place Jt's VGB on your SD card with the gapps zip and flash thru CWR 4. 24 hours now and no problems. Hopefully for good as I really like this rom
I'm wondering if anyone can walk me through completely cleaning out my phone before re-flashing Crazy 8. I read somewhere that you can format your internal and external sd cards to really clean things up. I've been having major slow downs and fc's and I want to try this to see if it helps. MY question is, do you format these cards and then go back to stock with ODIN or the other way around? Any tips would be most appreciated.
move critical stuff to pc
format internal/external
power down
odin to jfd
use the update.zip in my noob guide that lets you boot straight to cwr
flash rom
move any critical items back (ie titanium backup folder if you want your apps)

You format each drive through your pc or directly through the phone?

Awesome s15! Thanks so much. I will try this when I get home later. My internet has been down all day at work or I would've thanked you sooner!
Matty: I think you unmount the cards and then format them through the phone but I'll find out more later when I try it out.
You can format your internal/external SD card using either your phone or the computer. However, I think you should better use your phone to avoid any incompatibility issue.

Thank you both. I wasn't sure how to go about it.

Just boot into recovery, select mounts and storage. There is a format SD and format extSD choice. Always make sure you've removed anything critical to your PC first.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
YAY! Formatting both SD Cards worked a charm. My phone is very speedy now and not having all the weird random re-boots and FC's! I can't buy anything from the market though, again, this is such a weird problem and I seem to be the only one having it.

Ever since I used AlphaRevX I can't get a usable nandroid backup. I've tried a cwm 2.x provided by AlphaRevX and cwm 4.0.1.4 by revolutionary and when I make backups with them and go to restore all it does is tell me MD5 mismatch. Is there a solution? Should I try amazinglarrys cwm 2.x with offmode charging? Please help.

I don't really see how this could be related to S-OFF. It sounds to me like a problem with the SD card. I'd try, in this order:
1) Reformat the SD card using the phone itself or a computer and try again.
2) Use this program to thoroughly reformat the SD card, then try again. (This program can fix some formatting problems that sometimes aren't fixed by a regular format.)
3) Try a different SD card.
If none of the above helps, perhaps it's a hardware issue with the phone?
Hmm, now that I think about it, everything went down hill right after I put a ext 3 partition on my sdcard. I checked the md5 sum myself and it looks ok...

Wow, that screwed the un-holy hell out of my phone. Needs new OS and the home button doesn't want to work. I'll figure it out though.
