Sd card formatting - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So when I flash a back up or rom out is never able to mount the sd card. (I was wondering if its because after I installed the darkside rom it formatted it to ext-4.) Is this an issue? If so, is there anyway to format back to the sd card mount point, which I believe I've read is ext-3.

SD question

When flashing for the first time, do you need to wipe the sd card as well as the phone storage itself or just the phone. Basically what I want to know is all of the contents of my sd card going to be lost.

No, the SD card shouldn't ever get wiped. That's where your backups and the image you are flashing should be stored.

Just flashed to TuchMi 3.0 from 2.0...Now the external SD card isn't showing up

It just keeps saying "SD card safe to remove" in the Notifications and when I go to "Storage' in Settings and try to mount the card, it says it's mounting it and then immediately goes back to "SD card safe to remove".
This also happens from a complete wipe and clean install of 3.0. This also happens if I take out the SD card and pop it back in.
The SD card is working on my computers. It's just the phone.

I just flashed ROM this AM. Mine is working. I can see sd content from root explorer.

What's the format of your SD card? exFAT or FAT32?
Mine is exFAT and I think that's the issue. Is there any way to format an exFAT SD card to FAT32 from Android itself?

[Q] How to mount my external sd card on Neutrino Rom v2.9?

Hi guys, first of all, congratulations on the excellent work!!!
I have this problem: I installed Neutrino Rom 2.9 on my motorola Atrix (at&t), but after the installation, the system seems not recognize my external sd card.
I try remounting it from the recovery, but the recovery can`t do it either.
I think the problem starts when the folder /system is formatted (if I manually do the format, the recovery stops mounting the sd card since that moment)
When I plug the phone to the computer the sd card is neither recognized. Only shows the internal sd card.
Anybody has the same problem? there exists any solution?
Thanks!
Quite frankly, it's kinda hard to imagine formatting /system would do this. It seems more likely your SD card is just borked somehow.
I'd put it in a card reader and plug it into the computer and run some filesystem checks if I were you.
I don't think the card is the problem. The phone recognizes it perfectly before flash the rom. Other roms that I tried also recognizes it.
Maybe i have to format the SD card to a specific filesystem to neutrino can mount it? Now is formatted in fat32.
Thanks!

[Q] No Internal Memory?

Okay I did a dumb thing and hit factory reset from bootloader instead of hitting recovery. So now only twrp folder shows and I have to flash from my eternal sd card. When Im in the Rom (CM10) I have no internal memory. I recieve a need sd card message when I try to download from the browser and under storage settings it says mount sd card under internal but It never mounts. And in cm10 I cannot mount usb storage. Sooooo.... wth? Should I run an RUU or is there a simpler or less painful solution? HELP! Thanks!
P.S. Is this the answer from the F.A.Q?
"Help I flashed a new ROM/update/script and now I can't access my internal/external SD card Its OK, the SD card has been corrupted but you can reformat it with recovery itself or by using recovery to mount the card and formatting it by PC"

Sorry didnt see this but replied in the other thread you asked the ?. Yes you have to mount internal to PC and it'll tell you to format. Once you do all is fixed

SD Card help?

So I reformatted my SD card to ext so I could root (or whatever one is needed to root). But I seems to always have a Damaged SD Card error up top. What do I do to fix this issue. Running a stock Rom on VZW....What should my card be formatted as. Its a ScanDisk Ultra 32GB card....
Try formatting it on a pc and/or your phone. If that doesn't work, you might have a dead card.
