[Q] WFS reboots when dismounting SD-card - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
My Wildfire S reboots when I either dismount the SD, or try to use it as mass storage (via USB). I'm using CM7.2 and I honestly don't really know when this problem started, I just noticed it but I didn't dismount the SD for a LONG time so I honestly have no clue what happened.
On my SD-card there is a directory /mnt/sdcard/Android/data with a whole lot of folders in it, could it have to do with this?
Does anyone have any experience with this or know how to fix it? It would mean a lot to me.
Thanks for reading

Questions about file apps

I had app saver on my aria it let me save stuff to my sd now when i try it just says error after each thing it trys to save and i downloaded astro and it gives me a error creating an external cash, can someone help me im new with these androids. thanks alot.
is your sd card still working properly? can it be read while plugged into the computer? i would make sure you don't have the phone plugged in to a computer while you're trying to do a backup, as the sd card would be mounted and unusable by the phone.
perhaps try a different app managing/backup program?
yea I guess that was retarded I had my usb in the whole time didnt know that would affect the phone Im a apple convert so Im still in the learning process. Thanks for the help

[Q] Cant Write to SD Card

Been using this card in my phone for no problem since day one, now all of a sudden whenever I try and copy an mp3 from my PC in mass storage mode I get the "Error 0x80070057: The parameter is incorrect" and cant copy the file. Did some searching and people said formatting the card fixes that problem so I did so but that didnt fix the problem for me. Whats really weird is the fact that it only happens when trying to write mp3 files. I can move pictures and other files over with no problem. Any ideas on fixing this would be greatly appreciated.
I am having the same problem. I just flashed TW v5 and also the jk6 modem. I can copy to internal sd but the external I cannot copy any thing to. I get the same error message as you are getting. I have tried the two fixes that had been posted but neither one changed the situation. This has been an issue for me since i first flashed a Bionix rom. At first before this last rom the drives were reversed or seen as reversed which caused problems with recovery. I have no idea what is causing this or what the remedy is. Any and all help is warmly received and greatly appreciated.
My computer doesn't even see my phone
It would seem to have something to do with the phone itself. When I pop the card into a card reader it writes just fine
Fix found. Flashed this and all is well.

I tried the mounting fix and it did show the drives in the proper sequence but I still get the parameter error and am unable to write or copy to external sd card. Does not make any difference whether it is mp3 or zip files nothing will copy over. I am in Obsidian V5 and I really like the rom and I tried jk6 stock but had the same result. Any and all help and info is greatly appreciated and welcomed.
Edit: I do have one question if I format the external sd will that wipe everything off of it? ( I would imagine it would) Perhaps that is why I still cannot copy to external sd. I have never reformatted an sd card and I would really really be grateful if someone could give me guidance or directions on how to proceed with this.
flashing to the leaked stock jk6 fixes this for me. One guy suggested change usb setting to mediainstead of mass storage in order for it to work. Gl.

Remove the card from your phone and put it into a USB card reader on your PC/Mac. From there you should be able to copy all the data off of it. After backing up everything on the card either format the card in your phone or from your computer. See if that helps. I've run this fix on 3 different ROMs and it worked every time.

[Q] Please Help - Internal 16GB USB Storage Damaged

Hi. I have just this morning started seeing 'USB Storage Damaged' in the notifications drop menu.
Both my internal storage and sd card do not appear under settings and storage. All it says is unavailable. I know the external as card is thankfully ok, because I tried it in my brothers s2 and my files, folders, videos were there.
Does anyone know how to fix this error, my internal 16gb storage or recover the data??
Thank you for any help.
Well if it is really not damaged then you could try do a Virus checking by connecting it to a PC, if that doesn't do then try to Hard Reset the phone (factory reset). If still doesn't work then you are unlucky and probably the Internal Storage is corrupted.
Regards.
Try RECUVA to recover the data .

What OS are you using?
If you run linux or have access to a machine with linux when you plug the S II into the usb port, it should show both drives internal sdcard and the external sd. Then is just a question of coping the files across from the internal sdcard to the PC and do a factory reset on the phone.
Hope it works for you.

Well if the phone is not able to access the sdcard your only option as far as I can see, is to try and access the card via a PC.
I know that on linux I have easy access to both cards on my system, and can run fschk to see what problems it reports, on the internal storage.
But a word of warning, only check for errors, as the sdcards have a different file structure than ordinary hard disks and it could damage the card permanently.
Sorry that I have no solution to your problem other than the above.
still no luck
anyone else have any idea as to what i could possibly do/try.
thank you for everyones help
The weird thing is, when the filesystem is corrupted in any way the OS just reformats it.
So there must be something different.
What exately do you see when you connect the S2 to the PC in mass storage mode? (NOT Kies mode)
Do you see the drives? Any content?
Either it's something with the drivers in the FW or it might be a hardware defekt....
I also encounter this issue today. My Swiftkey problem starts to have problem, so i reboot the phone and right away it tell me the SD-CARD is damage.. It gives me option to FORMAT the card but i dont want to do that yet until i can backup my pictures and other data on it.
Any help guys? What did you do OP?
I see this turning into another Samsung quality failure. I too have this issue, first the 32gb external SD, than the internal USB and now again the external SD. Damn!
This can't be a hardware problem, must be software/OS related.
Luckily I have a backup on my Linux Mint PC so I formated all those suckers but 2x external SD can't be a coincidence.
Question is, now what?
i think if you dont mount or dismount the USB storage correctly when you insert in the USB cable, it will eventually lead to flash memory failure.
One more.
Same problem here. Good to hear there are a few cases, I could not figure out what I did wrong.

I haven't sync or connected the phone to a PC for ages so that could not be it.
It sucks not being able to do a backup or access an old one now.
damn lost all my pics!!!!!!
what do you guys use after this incident for backing up automatically on wifi? I have all my pics automatic upload to Google+ private album when plugin charging over 3G
SugarSync
I had to format the SD card after all and I know now why it happened to me.
I bought a extra battery on eBay, and let's just say it is not the same quality as Samy's so when using it it would shot off the phone without warning when about 5% juice level left. This unexpected whiting down eventually led to memory's corruptedness.
And to answer question on previous post I use Sugarsync and thanks to it I didn't lost a thing.
I am having the same problem and as xxlikquidxx it also happened to me in connection with a swiftkey update/failure!??
Did any of you figure out a way to fix it? I have not formatted yet but did that fix the problem for you? Yes I know it is not the fix I would like either!
I noticed that my SD card is not accessible either. Not on the phone and not if I connect my phone to my computer in USB mass storage mode. But if I take out the SD card and puts it into my card reader it works perfectly. Could it be that there is not a problem with the memory (internal or SD) but only with the mounting? Could it be that a reset without a USB storage format could do it? Or does it make sense that because it cant mount the USB storage then it cant mount the SD card either?
Thanks in advance.
Damned....the same thing happened to me after a normal reboot.
Anyone knows is there a proper fix for this? Or is a trip to the service center necessary?

[Q] Is there any way to ignore the internal SD memory in Samsung GT-I9003?

Hi everyone,
First things first, sorry if this was covered somewhere else in the forums, I really didn't find this question anywhere so I "had" to post this.
I got my Samsung GT-I9003 4GB a month ago, and everything was working perfectly until 3 days ago. It starts showing an "Internal SD card unexpectedly removed" error whenever the phone goes standby, then it forces me to terminate processes one after another, and finally it shuts down. I hadn't done any kind of ROM flashing nor rooting the device until the problems arose, so I don't know where the problem comes from.
I've tried to re-flash froyo 2.2.1 in my device, but the problem keeps showing up.
I found in this forums this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088474) covering the possibility of swapping both internal memory and external SD. It works great, but I still had problems with the "external SD card" being "unexpectedly removed"...
It crossed my mind if it was possible to modify the vold.fstab file further to only detect the external SD card as the internal memory and ignore the internal memory, as if it wasn't even on the phone. I don't know if that's even possible (since I don't know much about file systems nor Android), but I'd appreciate your thoughts on the matter.
same issue

Was having the exact same problem with a further twist, the issue occured almost every half an hour at office and very rarely at home. Tried a factory reset and also GB update via Kies. Problem was still present, so have given it to samsung service and the service rep informed me that it was most likely a motherboard issue.
Recently one of my friends had the same issue. Samsung service center replaced the motheboard and the issue seems to be resolved.

[Q] Flyer can not find External SD card

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
