When you popped out your SD card without unmounting it first,caused a system to fail,the system uses the sd card for cache,android secure and etc.,if you are using apps2sd then it also stores your third party apps on the card,so when you ejected the sd card,viola,your apps don't work and/or disappear.Sounds like you need to do a complete wipe/partition your SD card,newer roms will require it,especially 3.5 and 4.0 roms.
First I like to say thanks for the responce...I've tryed using the format on my HTC but it doesn't say format it said erase SD...I've done it twice and its still not right...as for formatting I used my laptop to format it in fat 32 twice and its still not right...I haven't partitioned it and don't know how...that might be the one thing I'm missing

Hi All,
I ran into a strange problem with my phone's SD card. Since a week or two, my card started complaining about "Mounted Read-Only, Tap here to fix it error". I did not pay much attention and fixed it by tapping it on the notification area.
However, from last weekend I found out that im not able to delete anything from my SD card. If i delete it deletes it, but when i unmount and re mount my SD Card, all the files that ive deleted are back again on my SD card. Also when If i copy a new file, per say, an MP3 file, it disappears after i remount the SD card.
PLEASE, could someone shed some light on this issue? I've tried unseating, reseating the card, do a full disk check on my windows laptop. Still no luck. I hvnt tried placing the card into a card adapter and plugging it into my laptops' card reader.
Can someone please suggest what should i do next? this is frustrating.
PS: my phone is rooted and ive beeing using BAMF Forever Cubed1.0.7 with MR3 radio since a month.

Backup everything on your sdcard and use a card reader to connect it to your computer and use hp format tool to format it. don't do a quick format
My external SD card was working fine, had about 16Gb of Music on it. Tonight it has stopped working and is coming up with an error saying "SD card blank or has unsupported file" (I assume it means file system).
I put it into a converter and plugged into PC, Windows reported that SD card also had unsupported file system and asked to format it.
Is there a way to fix this? I really don't want to format the card and then copy all that music back on
Happened to me twice.You can try recuva to find files.

Same here mate. I had a **** load of pics and music. I couldnt find a way around it so....i had to format the SD card...so painful
looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!
Happened to me about 3 months ago, was changing from Checkrom to Krinyo's SlimRom. No apps on my ext SD.
No idea why/how/what happened, but I'd made a backup my SD to my pc. You guys didn't.

Dear XDA'ers.
I've had an S2 for a while now and I've been running CM9 since early alpha. Recently I decided to buy an SD card (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005FY61EK/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00) so that I can use it to store my movies. After I got it, I realised that MoboPlayer or AirDroid couldn't detect the SD card and the only way I could put something on it was through a physical USB cable. Now, today I wanted to try something but I found out that my phone doesn't show the SD card at all anymore. I tried taking it out and putting it back in several times as well as flashing the latest CM9 nightly but nothing happened. The only apparent difference that I can see when I put the SD card in is that in the Storage section in Settings, under the SD card tab, I have an option "Mount SD Card" but when I press it, it says preparing SD card yet nothing happens.
Is the SD card fried or what's wrong with it?
I've had the SD card for less than a week so its hard to believe that it's dead already.
Have you got a micro SD card reader that you could use to see if the card is fried? Connect it to your computer, and if it shows up it isn't fried. Also check the format of the card to make sure it is in FAT32 format.

Ahh, I know the problem now (I completely forgot about this).
I formated it to NTFS just before I stopped working since I assumed that it works the same way a USB does (but clearly, I was wrong).
I'll format it back and see what's what.
Have u tried going into settings/memory/left softkey/storage config and select the only options there is?
have you tried other system folders?
i had the same problem before, I found out my sd card mounted as a system folder called "emmc" I'm using resurrection remix rom 2.3
Yep just fixed mine today by downloading https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.qbanin.binder&hl=en if you are unsure of what to select just see the screenshots i followed this selections and it now works fine
Alright, I've fixed it.
Basically, I had formatted it to NTFS because otherwise it gave me some error about file (the file was around 4 gb's and it acted this way with anything over 3) being too big when I was trying to copy it onto the SD card. Now that someone said it has to be in FAT32, I formatted it back and now it works perfectly.
Thanks to everyone who helped me.
I just bought a Z2 2 weeks ago, updated with the latest Lollipop update. And I found our that im having issue with moving data to my SD card. It was successful in moving data however when I tried to use them it seems that it was corrupted like apps - I cant open it, music - not able to play and pictures - cant show.
Ive rooted my phone already and tried sdfix however it seems its not working. How can I store/use my sd card. Btw I have a 64gb sd card. any recommendation to fix it.
and additional everytime I rebooted my Z2 my apps installed on sd card gets corrupted.
need help please..
That's odd.. I've never experienced that. Maybe you have a defective SD card? Have you tried copying files to and from your computer with the SD card?

Hi guys im having a bit of drama with my sd card and my samsung galaxy tab a 10.1 running android 7.0 unrooted
I first noticed this yesterday as utorrent kept throwing me an error during my download, when i selected the sd card as the download location i noticed it said app data then once i changed the location to internal app data things worked fine.
I tried to delete the failed download but a little error message came up unable to delete so i formated my sd card and it asked for me to select a file to allow write function, i moved my downloads over to the sd card then continued with another download. utorrent has again failed halfway through then upon looking it has actually wiped my sd card completely nothing shows up but apparently i have used 2.8gb but theres no files.
ive been looking around and ive been seeing bits about sd write function being removed after kitkat but i cant seem to find anything about my sd card being wiped or why i cant delete files. Please could someone help me understand whats what or point me in the direction of a thread that explains all this.
thanks in advance

E.g. SanDisk forces some of their usb pen drives into a permanent read-only state when the pen drive detects that it is damaged. Once this happens, this cannot be undone. It is a mechanism to try to save the data. Perhaps your sd card is damaged and something similiar occured? It sounds like a broken/damaged sd card. If you don't need the data on the sd card, you may try to format the sd card with your pc and then again format it with your mobile device. If this fails, it is likely that the sd card is damaged.

Thanks for the reply but tbh ive been really busy getting bits sorted for my holiday i forgot to update my post, turns out its the sd reader in the tablet at fault which is a bit annoying as its the 1st time ive used it in the 8 months ive owned the tablet. Its the 2nd fault to develop with the tablet 1st fault was unresponsive touch screen tight out the box that was repaired now i need to wait until i return from my holiday to have the reader fixed, luckily an OTG and sd reader works like a charm.
