Hi I want to know why my phone says that my external SD card is unavailable even though I inserted it. It doesn't even do a media scan of it. Also my SD card reader sometimes doesn't hold my SD card and I don't know why. Someone please help and thank you in advance. I also forgot to say that it started to do this when I flashed gb bootloaders and started using 2.3/ 2.2 roms.

External SD card should not have an issue mounting to the phone or the PC this is an old issue that has been addressed in all newer releases of ROMs. Make sure you are running the most current release of whatever ROM you are flashing. I do know that if you flash a 2.3 ROM depending on the ROM you may or may not need to flash GB Bootloaders in order for you to see the external SD card on the phone. Everything should be in the OP of whatever you choose to flash.
Good luck!
I am on simply honey 5.0 rc1 and it says unavailable for every rom I try to flash.

I'm really not too familiar with that particular setup, link maybe?
Honestly if its happening with every ROM and ODIN doesn't fix it for you I would assume hardware defect.
Good luck!

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

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.

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

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm using Trip's 2.2.1 rom right now and though im loving it, there seem to be a bug? After installing apps from the market place or downloading things from zedge - basically anything that involves download - after a short period of time, there will be notification which says "sd card save to be removed" and "preparing sd card" soon after. A few seconds later, the phone reboots. I tried finding the ans in his thread but i cant find an answer. Does anyone know a way to fix this?

Well I had the same after installing a rom. Believe me I tried everything and got some great advice but nothing worked. In the end I copied all files from my sd card to my computer and formatted the card.
Than turned my phone off. And with SEUS reinstalled the latest software which putted the necessary files on my sd card again.
Started off from scratch. Rooted and installed the rom again. No problems since...

I recently rooted and installed Bionix V 1.2.1, and it works fine with the 2Gb SD card that came with the Vibrant. However, whenever I put either one of my 2 Transcend 8GB cards (both formatted to FAT32) into it, neither the internal storage nor the SD cards will mount. The phone still boots properly, but in settings they both show up as "Unavailable".
I have searched the boards and haven't found a fix for this particular issue. Could it be the brand of the SD cards that's causing the issue?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I tried that but it didn't fix the issue
I seem to be having the same issue, any help would be appreciated =)
Bionix 1.2.1 has numerous issues. Im a nero fan. But bio1.2.1 was not good
I couldnt download anything from xda.
Now on 2.2.1 stock rom from einherjar dev team.
It is the best rom out. Period. And few have tried it.
So get goin. U wont be sorry.

Retried Voodoo kernel, still no effect.
Look at q&a its all bionix problems right now. 1.2.1 has clear problems right now.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
ya, reinstalling didn't work for me either. I was really liking Bionix, but maybe I'll try another rom.
@torturedsoul: did you try booting without a microsd card? Mine only works when i boot with no card or with a Sandisk 2GB Class 2 microsd. Neither of my 2 Transcend 8gb Class 6 cards work, so I'm thinking the rom just might not like those cards.
@Mr Orange: If I was going to switch roms, should i just disable voodoo lagfix and then install a new rom from recovery or is there another step? (sorry for the noob question). Also, is mobile AP working for you in the einherjar rom?

thanks Mr. Orange, i'm gonna check out that rom
So I tried that other rom, but it's still not mounting the 8gb cards. So now I'm thinking it's gotta have somthing to do with these SD cards.

False, it does work.
It appears there is more than one cause for this, and more than one solution as well. I removed my micro sd card and now my internal is working fine. I would like to figure out what do do about the external slot not working though...

Backup the contents of your SD to the PC, format SD, and you should be good to go.
^^ What he said ^^ Too slow
I've been on beans 7 since it's release. Have tried all other tw based roms and nothing really compared Imo. Thought I'd give an aosp rom a try. I went with liquid. It was impressed but I wanted my beans back. When I restored my beans nandroid backup, I get a damaged sd card notification. I thought I saw a zip that fixed this issue a while back, but I can't remember what thread I saw it in. I really don't want to reformat my sd card. It's a 64 gb Samsung. Any help is greatly appreciated. If I'm insulting anyone somehow, plz forgive my noobness.

If you're computer will still read the microSD card then you can use this app to recover and backup your files then you can format the card and put your files back on it.
