I am running CM7 Alpha 3. It suddenly said "Damaged SD Card" and I may need to reformat it. webOS can use it without problem. I also connect it to windows and do a disk check there. However I still can't mount the SD card partition in CM7. Any idea?
OK I format SD card thing and Android still won't read it, saying the SD card is damaged. Help?

I think your SOL and have to reinstall an android build.
This is a bug that happens when you have more than 50 apps installed on the sdcard.
You need to goto .android_secure and delete a few files to get under 50. I have also heard that if you goto manage applications you could remove a few apps that are installed on the sdcard.

Suddenly I get this error in the notification bar:
Damaged SD Card - SD card is damaged. Try reformatting it.
And the SD card is not mounted. It's the internal one, the USB storage one I guess.
My external SD card works fine and is being mounted.
This is a huge problems since a lot of apps doesn't work when there is no internal SD. Swiftkey can't find it's languange packs, Gallery and many other video/image apps also fail etc.
If I reboot to recovery and to install zip from sdcard, I can see both my internal and external sd card. So recovery seem to be able to mount the internal sd, but android itself does not.
Now, I could format it, but I would like to at least be able to back up before I do, which is a bit of a problem since can't take the card out and use in a card reader and I can't get android to mount and share it either, even though recovery is able to mount the card just fine.
1) Does anybody know why this has happened?
2) Does anybody know how I can backup the contents of the internal sd, even if I can't get android to mount it?
3) Does anybody know how I any other way of fixing this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Rom & Kernel plz? :silly:
Also, Not really sure about this but I have a far reminiscence of having read somewhere that you can actually access your folders through USB from CWM once they are mounted. Please someone confirm this because I may be speaking bull****; otherwise you could try to backup your data from your very same computer.

Flash latest Siyah kernel (if you're on ICS/JB) and then boot to CWM. In mounts&storage mount USB storage and connect pc and phone via usb.

[Q] Can't mount external sd (Rootbox ICS)
I've been using RootBox ICS 1.8 with V6 and pdroid patch (made by autopatcher 2.1.5) for a while now, everything was fine until yesterday my phone was auto powered off a few times after the battery ran out.
I can't mount the external SD card now, it's recognised by the phone and I have the option to choose "Mount SD card", but it's not actually mounting the card. When I tap it, "Preparing SD Card...." will flash for a second, then disappear without actually mounting.
CWM is unable to mount the sd card either. Taking the battery and sd card out also doesn't make any difference.
What should I do? Will reflashing the rom help, or does it sound like a hardware problem?
It did happened to me and I think the yung mmc is messed up. Have you tried using it on other phones?
UPDATE:
Okay... it seems the sd card is busted. Windows can only detect 30MB from it (it's a 32GB card). Is there anything I can do before asking the shop for warranty?

Hmm... partition wizard just shows me 30.6MB no matter what I do. I guess it's time to find out whether that 5 year warranty will hold...
Hello. When trying to flash my mini X android box, I used sd card from my sgs2. After that, I inserted the card to sgs2 and rebooted.
The telephone said "Corrupted card" and asked to format. However, it formatted internal sd card!! And it doesn't see the external one.
I've tried formatting external sd to fat32. No luck.
What should I do?

Well, this may sound stupid or strange, but what I couldn't do with gParted or Windows partition was easily done by putting sd-card to my Note 10.1
My problem is solved by now. The only thing that bothers me is that my internal sd is formatted and everything's lost. If anyone knows how to recover all data, please pm me

I am getting this error of No external storage available on all the apps that require internal storage e.g. In Gallery, it says no external storage available, same in camera, explorer e.t.c
Have I done something wrong?
Do you have an sd card?
I do have an sd card, currently, the player only works with the sd card.
somehow the sd card is being treated as the internal sd card? this is completely weird. As soon as I take out the sd card, it fails to recognize the internal card.

Find "vold.fstab. (system/etc)" open it, and change "/mnt/sdcard/sdcard1" to "/mnt/sdcard/sdcard0."

1 can you go setting--- memory-- check what is available and send the scren shoot.
2 when you wipe in recovery no any strange message at the screen? like can't read or open mmcblk0p 15....
I got this same kind of problem but i dont have and external Sd, but i want to save the pictures on the phone it self is there a way to change this? Because when i open the camera ap it says, no external memory.
I had the same issue
I had the same issue.
Go into recovery mode and try to mount emmc. That's what my external SD was renamed.
It was fine when I loaded the ROM but it flaked out after I loaded a different kernel.
I would recommend using X-plore from the Play Store to navigate your files. It's the best way to explore, move etc.
Try format SD-card:
Go to CWM -> mounts and storage -> format sdcard
When I try to do things in TWRP it gives me an error that says E:Unable to mount storage. I thought maybe my sd card needs to be reformatted or something, so I went to the system settings once booted and looked under storage. At the bottom "Mount sd card" and Erase SD card are both greyed out and I cant select them. When I connect my phone to my pc it shows only internal storage instead of an internal folder and sd card folder.
All of my data on my sd card still shows up when im on the phone though and I believe all of my data on my sd card is showing up as under internal storage.
Anyone have any ideas as to whats going on?

I had a similar issue today, my SD card was corrupted, this seems to happen with my SD card and android devices every now and then and I'm not sure why. Putting the SD card in my computer showed most of the files were okay, however, there were some that were messed up. Mine was pretty messed up so it is looking like I'm going to have to reformat it if repairing the corrupted parts doesn't work.
I just found a sd card adapter for my pc and used it. I ran chkdsk on the sd card and it found a ton of errors. If I reformat the sd card; what should I reformat it to? Fat32? That's what it is currently.
Edit-After running chkdsk f: /f on my sd card im able to select the mount and erase options now. It seems to have fixed all my issues.
