i had my 8gb sd card working perfect.. all of a sudden it had stopped working.. wouldnt read at all in my phone, but in my girlfriends phone ( which isnt android ) it reads perfectly.
now, while flashing a new rom and clearing data.. i had this come up..
Formatting /sd-ext...
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
with all the rest working fine.
Backup the data and format the card in the phone.

this was happening on my last sd card, after this started happening, i couldnt access anything on the card. So ive now changed to a 2gb card. havnt made an sd ext yet. so is that why ?
happened to me as well, SD got corrupted, it can be read from a pc, but cannot change the contents thus cannot re-format, luckily i can copy it, then bought a new one, problem solved, phone is working fine again.

I think this is normal for sd card without ext partition.
have you try to un-mount and mount the sd-card?
can the sc card be read from recovery?

mounting it from cwm ? nope i havnt tried that.
Im not having any troubles at the moment with this new SD Card. I just wanted to try and get the old 8gb sd working. having 2gb isnt enough for all my music and apps.
Ive formatted the old sd card. but it still shows as having 6gb.. so 2 gb missing ? AND.. i can put it in my girlfriends phone, and load it up on the computer. put anything on it i want, but it wont read in ANY phone..
Use panasonic sd formater under win.

its basically a throw away sd card now, so ill give it a shot lol.
hoping i got the right program
** tried that... didnt work. it formatted the Sd Card. but still wont read in my phone.
Also tried to Mount the SD card from Cwm. but i get
Error mounting /sdcard!
not sure if this will help anyone.. but i partitioned the sd card ages ago, all was working fine... now, after formatting, my 8gb sd card is still just nearly 6gb. so 2 gb is missing.
connect the sd card to the computer via a card reader. delete all the partitions and then format it using the fat32 system. try to read it now. if it still doesn't work try to format it using the fat system. maybe this will work.

Hey all,
Last friday i wanted to place some MP3's on the MicroSD-card in the phone, 16GB. Something went wrong (Phone shutted down) and since then the MicroSD-card isn't recognized by the phone.
If i place another MicroSD-card in the phone it works with no problems.
The MicroSD that doesn't work in the phone, does work in windows with an SD Adaptar... I formatted the card (FAT 32), won't work... Resetted my phone... won't work... I can use the card in windows normally, it writes and reads data like any other card... but my phone just won't recognize it...
Anyone has some idea?

I formatted the bad MicroSD multiple times in Windows using Minitool Partition... It says its fat32, cmd chkdsk says its fat32... I can put content on the microsd and use the content.
But the phone won't recognize it.. It's a 16gb card and if the phone does not recognize it, i can't format it... It's like he phone doesnt even know there is an microsd inserted...
A 4gb MicroSD doea work on the phone...

I will try if i have someone with such a card... In the mean time wouldnt it be possible to make two 8GB partitions? Or 4 GBs?
If i make it an NTFS-card? Will it ask to reformat? If the phone can actually see the card... Sigh..

Didn't work... it's like the phone has turned off the SD-Card reader when inserted with that card
It's being checked on reading errors in windows..... but so far 0..
Well... no problems found..
I checked the info of the SD-cards.. changed the serialnumber of the one not working to the one working.. i also tried to change it to change the partition ID but that does not work.. it doesnt get changed..
Try this : insert SD card, go to settings, storage, and mount SD card.

I was just gonna say, if you have cwm you can format it from there. That's actually how I fixed one of my bricked SD cards. Only cwm could format it. Partition mini tool said bad disk.
Also try this from terminal or adb:
fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk1 and see what it says.

[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?

Hello I saw he video how to change int sd with ext sd so the phone thinks it has more space and so on... The truble is I need to format sd card to fat 23. And life does wonders - my card reader suddenly stopped working and I cant conect it to pc and format the card. Any way to go around that? Maybe there are apps that can do it in the phone? Coz I cant find them.

if you are rooted you could try to format the card in CWM, not sure though if it is 1) possible and 2) if it is then formated to Fat32 or the system you had on it before.
You could also try to connect your phone to your PC and format it that way.

Hello, ty for taking the time to answer, but i tried both of those things, both in pc and cwm i can format, but i cant select how to format, i dont know if it formats to fat or to fat32 or to something other. Besides after trying to format i tried to use the int to ext sd swaping (the thing that i wanted to do in the first place and the reason why i need to format to ext 32) and it didnt work so i believe that formating without selecting TO WHAT to format doesnt work.
For some reason TWRP wont mount my microSD (64gb) card, I thought I would ask if anyone here had a solution before I went and did something stupid.
I searched around the forum and the only thing I was able to find was someone saying that it worked for them in 2.5.0.1 but not 2.5.0.2.

Fat32 had previously failed for my so I had formatted my card into extFat which also failed to mount, but I did what you said and re-formatted it into Fat32 using Easeus Partition and it still fails... Any other suggestions?
Twrp supports exfat and that's what I use. Its possible your card is failing and needs to be replaced. I just went through that as well. Cards have a warranty so you can get one for free. There was a bad batch produced earlier this year so sandisk knows about it.

I've never been able to mount my SD in recovery either, it didn't work on S3 too. Are you able to flash files from it?, and Android recognizes it? If so, the card is fine, it's just an issue with some phones, not being able to mount it in recovery to transfer files. Sorry if I misunderstood the original question and had you doing extra stuff, I thought you meant it doesn't see the card, and can't flash files.
I have this same problem although I believe its something to do with the recovery, as TWRP won't allow me to mount the MicroSD card either
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
