Today I decided to flash CM7 onto my SGS2. I had the Stock Samsung 2.3.4 Rom with CF-Root Kernel on it. After flashing through CWM I got stuck at the boot logo, but I was able to re-flash it properly through CWM. But now, I can't access the inserted 8GB SD Card (except for Root explorer). So I reflashed CM7, but that didn't solve the SD Card problem. I asked Google what to do, but most of the solutions posted in forums etc. are for other devices (e.g. HTC Devices). I already picked up some key words like "emmc" or something like that, but I don't know if this has something to do with this problem. I am experienced with flashing (Galaxy 3 i5800, Galaxy S i9000) and it's possible dangers, but I've never encountered something similiar to this problem.
So, is there a possibility to fix things back to normal? I can access the internal and external SD card with my PC/Laptop and Root Explorer, and all the Files are still there and neither seem to be damaged nor corrupted.
Yours, BlackWire
Edit: I tried the following Cyanogenmod 7 External Sd Card problem, but still I can't access the SD Card with the OI File Manager (i don't know what it's called in english) or other apps.
Edit2: I can't even flash another ROM through CWM, as I can't access the external SD Card!

Hi all,
I just installed Auxora 2.3.1.0, and everything is functioning fine with the phone except for the fact that the phone doesn't recognize that any storage is present on the phone. Under settings > SD and phone storage it says "Unavailable" for both SD and phone storage where it would normally show how much space is available.
Any idea how to fix this?
Not quite sure if I'm posting this in the right place... I would have asked it in the thread where I downloaded the ROM but I'm not allowed to post there yet.
Thanks in advance
i know 2.2.1 rom had a sd problem for me and i was on 2.2.1 port but from there i flashed another kernel over (deAD hourse) and it solved my problem
I would try that, but I have no way of flashing a new kernel because I can't put anything on the internal storage because the phone can't access it..
I'm now able to successfully mount the SD to USB while I'm in recovery mode so I can transfer files onto the SD, but no matter what I am unable to get the phone to recognize either the internal or external SDs unless I'm using stock 2.1 update-1...
Anybody have a solution to this?
This problem is getting ridiculous for me... the phone won't recognize the phone storage or sd card on any kernel or ROM other than stock 2.1. I've tried Bionix, Auxura, and just finished flashing Deodexed_KA7 one of these that will allow me to use my phones storage is 2.1.
I also tried applying the fix found in this thread, and it didn't work.
Anybody have any ideas on how I can get fix this??? I really don't want to be stuck with stock 2.1 anymore
Good morning,
Yesterday I flashed Dexter's ONE XXL rom which I like very much and can almost be used as a daily rom. Unfortunately the files that i stored on my external SD card didn't show up anymore. When I tried to reach the files with ES File Explorer , I couldn't find my SD card anymore, just an 'read only' file which was empty. In the storage options of the Flyer itself the card was not available as well. After that I decided to Flas back to Leedroid's Rom, since that was the last ROM with everything working, but unfortunately after Flashing this Rom , the problem was still there. When I use this card with a cardreader on my PC verything seems to be ok with the card and I can access all files
Is there maybe anyone who faced similar problems and knows a solution?
Thanks in advance for your help!
After trying to find a solution without any result , it seems however that when I boot into recovery, my Flyer can detect the files on my SD Card. Unfortunately when I try to mount my ext SD in recovery, it doesn't work. Seems that inside the Flyer's software something is broken with the result that it can not see the external SD at all.
I really hope that someone can help me with this problem
Found a solution
Moderators, please close this thread. The problem is solved. I just flashed a stock kernel and a stock ROM and all works great again
How come i cant back up to external sd card. it says it cant mount backup path. i got a 64gb sdxc card class 10. i thought this version supported external sd card
im using a uk unbranded s3 on stock samsung firmware
do i have to format and partition the sd card using cwm first and then try to backup to sd card. the sd card as of now is ex-fat
Exactly the same problem here, installed CWM touch and it can't recognise my 16GB card, 8GB or 2GB. I reckon its because samsung have named it Exsdcard or something like that instead of emmc or whatever its meant to be.

I already had a thread like this one

This was my ONLY solution...
1. I RE-Rooted with CF Root 6.4
( it installs CWM 5.5.0.4)
Everything perfect....
BUT if I try to Upgrade CWM 5.5. --- to --- 6.0
Then I have the MOUNTING PROBLEM
So I have to (ONLY) :
1. Re-Root again with CF Root 6.4
And Everything goes back to NORMAL...
yep exactly. only way is to use CF-root and that cwm mod works on the micro sdxc card. eff the touch version
Well the touch version works very well for me. It shows the sdcard and external sdcard so I am at a loss as to why yours does not work. I have the international version and on the omega v10 rom.
I am having a similar problem. External SDcard is no longer recognised for me on ANY touch version.
Had no trouble on non touch one that came with omega under v10. I installed CWM touch through rom manager on Omega v9, when I upgraded to v10 the CWM stayed the same. Then messing about some more seeing which version I prefered I ended up installing a few versions before settling with Rom manager touch version.
At the beginning, first use of CWM touch, external card mounted fine and could backup to it. Somewhere between then and now I have lost the ability to mount sdcard.
I have performed full wipes of everything and reinstalled numerous times but no matter what I do now, CWM touch will not load extsdcard.
My theory is there must be some config file or something somewhere that needs to be deleted that is stopping CWM touch from properly choosing the correct path. If it's not that, then I have no clue wt* is going on.
EDIT: Know I could just use the non touch version, but I prefer the blob backup system, could care less about the touch feature personally.
Hi All
I have searched the forums for an answer to this, to no avail. Its not an easy problem to search, but apologies if this has been previously discussed..
After some years of owning and flashing various android phones I have suddenly come completely unstuck. I am not sure what has happened, but I suspect that my internal storage has died. No matter what Rom I load (including returning to stock flashed via Odin) I cannot see the phone's internal storage (i.e. the memory that used to appear as "internal USB" or similar). Instead, the "SD card" is being emulated under the folder "0" in the phone's main storage... I am unsure what is happening here.
This happened after flashing the latest version of Omega Rom (v44). Everything went completely fine as usual, I have no idea why this happened. When I rebooted the Rom had installed but internal storage was missing as described above. For some reason the AOKP elements of the Rom are not present, but the system does seem to work.
I have inserted an external SD card to see if the phone would just use that. No effect. It still appears to be "emulating" the external SD card.
I am not sure where to go from here. I can accept that my internal storage is dead. However, as described above inserting an external SD card still doesn't seem to allow the phone to work normally. It is still trying to emulate the SD card in the phone memory, even on a stock rom. On custom roms this seems to stop the AOKP element from working and I end up with some kind of half way house of custom rom and stock Samsung stuff... its bizarre!
Any help or even just thoughts as to what is going on here greatly appreciated.
I remember that in CM roms there is an issue with the 0 folder thing, but not familiar with it. Maybe someone with more experience could recommend you some action steps.
In case you could always try a full wipe (mega wipe) as it includes your sd card (internal) and leaves nothing on the phone. This will enable you to start from scratch (have a flashable rom on your external SD though).
so im currently using a samsung i5510m on android 2.2.2. recently i rooted my phone so i could switch my external SD card as internal since the phone only carries around 150mb of data. so, after rooting the device i edited my vold.fstab file the way i saw on one of the posts on xda. all was well until i rebooted my device, after which it refused to recognize SD card. just to be sure that the card didn't get corrupted i used a card reader and plugged it into my PC, it loaded up with the files. i thought it could be fixed if i formatted the card and so i did.however it didn't fix the problem and neither did factory reseting the device. Ive tried adb commands but its all been useless since the it cannot access the card and neither the phone itself. Ive tried using my other SD cards too but the result is the same.
any help guys? how can i restore the vold.fstab to the way it was since i think thats the problem here?
thanks in advance
