MIUI problem - SD Card Safe to Remove - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I was just wondering whether there is a fix for such error running on the latest MIUI build from their website. Whenever I turn on my phone, I would receive this message saying Preparing SD card, then it would jump into SD Card Safe to Remove. The phone cannot mount the SD card manually from Settings as the same thing will happen again. I am sure the memory card is not corrupt as both the internal SD card (16gb) and my external SD card (32gb) are both recognized in CWM recovery, although when selecting install from internal SDcard from recovery, it goes into the external.
Hope someone knows how to resolve this issue!
Thanks,
Nicholas

If you got the rom from their site then your best bet would be to ask on their site. No MIUI development is done here. Only translations

mmmm alright thanks (Y)
But just for other people, they released a fixed version of the ROM on the MIUI main site, not the MIUI.us site, that fixed my problem

I installed MIUI and stange external sd not working since last two updates.....
Also I installed Bali kernel over it....

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.

No, I think its about my sd card not working.
Can you access files that are already on the SD card?
You can try to reformat the SD card and see if that helps. If not try another SD card and see if that works.
Do you think that it is a problem with your software or the hardware?
What kind of SD card do you have?

How to fix "Couldn't Install on USB Storage or SD Card" Error
Hey Dude,
I too had this problem on my Galaxy Ace GT S5830. But I've fixed it now. There are 3 ways in which you could fix this (literally). (Before reading all this, check whether you have enough Internal memory i.e above 25 MB)
1) This method is a kind of a temporary solution. Unmount your SD Card in Storage Settings. Then Install your app. After installing it remount, remount you SD Card.
2) Format your SD Card. After that you won't be having any problem unless you install something that's not good for your phone. But then too, you may get this problem again. So, this method also is a kind of a temporary fix.
3) Now this is a permanent fix. Upgrade your phone with a Custom Rom. If you're having 2.2.1 or 2.3.6 android version currently, then this is just the solution. If its 2.2.1, then do it for sure. But if its 2.3.6 just try to follow the above steps. If its still not working, then upgrade it.
Best Roms : CM7, Jelly Blast, CM 9, PAC MAN.....
You'll get tutorials on how to install Cusom Roms on Youtube.
Prevention from these problems in Future
1) Don't ever install Black Markets like Aptoid, Black Market Alpha, Panda app.........etc
2) Try to stay away from Viruses.
Hope this helped you. Thanks :fingers-crossed:

There is a nuclear bomb headed for your house. :good:
Thread moved
Questions never belong in Development. Ever.
Seems the newest update to the recovery does this by default I don't like the idea of keeping downloads in the internal memory so I reverted back to the original 5.8.4.5 cwm recovery. Good luck!

I'm having the same problem. Have you figured out what was causing the problems?
I'm not too sure,but being unable to detect the external sd card is a common issue amongst most aokp ROMs I've used.
As for your internal memory being used up, I had the same doubt and then realised it was mainly because of my backups. Each one was ~900Mb so that ate up most of my internal memory. Delete any redundant backups from the clockworkmod folder if thats your problem

Installing a secondary ROM takes up about 2GB of your internal memory, if that's what you're talking about. Anything more than that could be your backups..or something I'm not aware of.

Just to update my original post...
I appeared to lose my internal SD when I upgraded to CM9 RC2. Didn't bother me since I had external SD still.
When I updated to a CM10 nightly, I lost my external SD card as well.
The way that i fixed it was by going back to CM9 RC1. When I loaded that ROM the media scanner informed me that the SD cards were corrupt and reformatted it from me. After that I reinstalled CM10 and it recognises both
I had reformatted my ext. SD card using my computer before, but that hadn't fixed the problem. It would seem that my media scanner (in CM10) wasn't recognising the ext. SD or the internal and thus not reformatting it....
Not sure if this helps, I'm not as versed in the workings of android as many people are on here... What I did above fixed my problem though, so perhaps it might be of help to someone else.
Check out the thread for your rom. Some one else before you, has probably already asked about your problem and got an answer

[Q] i9100 can't recognize internal and external sd

Hi guys,
I'm having a problem with my phone.
After an CyanDelta update, my phone couldn't recognize internal and external sd card.
I tried to to wipe/factory reset, and it still couldn't. Tried flash CM10.1 again, and nothing changed. Even using File Manager I wasn't able to navigate through sd cards. The only way to see sd card ( internal and external ) contents was in recovery mode.
After that, I tried to flash Ressurection Remix 3.1.3 ( AOKP ), and I can navigate through my sd cards and see its contents, but, when I go to Settings > Storage, it closes unexpectedly.
I'll try to flash stock rom to see if it changes something, but while I'm downloading it, does someone knows any solution to this?
Thanks a lot!
(and sorry if I posted it in a wrong forum, moderators please correct me if I'm wrong)
The solution is in the cm10.1 nightly thread. It's too late now, but you didn't really have to wipe anything.
