I have recently upgrade to android 2.3.3 and am using EWJET as a rom.
I cannot access the SD once Android OS has booted. All apps and the system/settings says SD Card isn't mounted. Tried multiple installs, nothing works.
All 2.1/2.2 Roms are fine.
If i tap back during start-up and access xrecovery I have normal access to the SDcard and can flash packages etc. So the phone is able to access the card ok.
My SD card is the 8gb that came with the phone and isnt partitioned in anyway.
However in the past I did have it partitioned, but not now. Incase I am installing 2.3.3 and the rom wrong, ill tell you my steps.
Factory Firmware 2.1 flashed
rooted, busybox and recovery installed
Flashed X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_only_kernel_baseband
then install the EWJET rom as per his instructions..
I pray I am only doing the above steps wrong as I desperately want the SD working on 2.3.3.
Any help would be appreciated.

you try pulling it out and blowing on it like an old nes game...
jk smiles but have you tried perhaps throwing the sd into a computer and just formatting with different cluster sizes or in general formatting the card. Might need to use an adapter.
Happen the same thing to me but with wolfbreaks rom... some people told me to re-flash the rom but it didnt work. The funny thing is the the sd card will work on any other device, and any other sd card will work on the phone... havent try re-formatting the card cauze i dont have the adapter but it should work

you might want to get an adapter. A while back i tried setting up a sd-ext partition on a 4gig card and long story short the only way i was able to run a format that gave me back the 4gigs was throwing it into an adapter
Had the same thing when I updated with stock-2.3.3.... At the time I had it partitioned in 2 partitions...
I connected the phone then with my pc, and there it was, alive and well.... So I backed up the entire card, that is, the first partition, where all my data were; I powered off the phone, took it out, found a adapter, deleted the 2nd partition with Partition Wizard Home Edition Minitool, made the sd-card 1 partition only, formatted that partition, and then I copied all my backed-up data back to the card
Then I put the card back in the phone, booted and voila: the card was recognized again by 2.3.3....! and now it functions ok!
Hope this helps, greetz, good luck,

Anything new on this?
for me it is a little different. The card that came with the phone works fine with the GB update, the thing is that I got another phone, this one came with a 4 Gb card so I took the one in the x10 with all my pics and put it in my new phone and put the other new card in the x10 but it doesn't recognize it...
I've tried with 2 different cards, in xRec i can read it, back up, etc, but once in android its like there's nothing there. Tried formatting it with no results....
What could it be that it reads the original x10 card and no other?
Ive got no idea, but its annoying. Im gonna have to go back to 2.1 which sucks.
We need to some how figure out whats causing this. Ive tried everything.
2.3 seems to be the problem.

I have 2.3 and the card that originally came with the phone (16Gb SDHT) works fine, the thing is that it doesn't read any other card.

Same issue no clue what to do
Today i found a workarround using DISKPART (6 years later hehe)
Note that this will wipe your storage card so BACKUP !!
Hold [Win + R] and type in : diskpart (or launch cmd as admin and types: diskpart )
Every lines should be followed by enter key.
list disk
select disk *
(" * " is the number of your drive. be carefull do not choice your hard drive number which is commonly 0)
clean
create partition primary
assign
format fs fat quick
exit
Tested and work fine on windows 8 (but should work on 7, 8.1, 10)
Thanks Hope i help even 6 years later !! cheers
I apologize if this has been answered somewhere else here before. I have been searching for days and have not found the full answers to my questions anywhere.
Recently I updated my GT-P7510 CM9 to an experimental CM10 from by pershoot. After getting it up and running I was looking at my internal storage usage and numbers didn't seem to add up (must have done a dirty flash at some point in the past to cause this). My internal storage in root explorer showed 8.93gb in use and 28.01 total storage. I copied everything to a USB drive to back it up and noticed there was only 7.45gb actually on the internal storage. I have seen this problem before on my S2, and I always just reformat the internal SD card (emmc) to regain the missing space. However, since the tab does not have a micro SD slot, I have no way of wiping the internal sdcard (data/media) without wiping out the rom too from how I understand it. Somebody correct me if I am wrong...
So, does anybody know of a way to successfully wipe/format the sdcard (data/media directory) in CWM or other method that will not wipe out the rom and send the device straight to cwm with no way to install a new rom? Or do I have to revert back to stock to accomplish the format of sdcard like I have read for a few other similar situations? Everything works fine (CM10 & CM9 both run awesome), I just want that extra 1.48gb of missing/phantom storage back. And, without mass storage mode, I cannot perform a disk check in win7. This has really got me frustrated to find a solution without having to start over. I wish this tab had a micro SD slot!
Currently I am running CM9 nightlies (7-31) for p4wifi (gt-p7510). My cwm recovery is version 6.0.1.0. Any help is greatly appreciated, and I do apologize if this has been covered before. Thanks in advance to those of you smarter than I.

Ok, I seemed to have figured this one out and now feel pretty stupid for not digging a bit further before asking.
After I decided to go ahead with the sdcard format using CWM, I noticed that the space was still being used somewhere. After I started to dig a bit, I noticed that all of my apps still worked after the format. Basically, the extra space is being consumed by the /data/app folder housing all user apps. CWM must be designed to ignore this directory when formatting the internal sdcard which is why there was still some storage being used.
I feel like an ubernoob for asking this, but my S2's internal sdcard is not mapped to data/media, so I had to learn a bit better about how this thing works I suppose. Anyways, I hope this information can be useful to someone out there having similar questions.

Although that is a similar problem, I asked if there is a way to fix it without going that route? I appreciate your reply, but I already knew it could be resolved by going back to stock (2nd paragraph of my post).

Ow sorry didnt notice few words,i think u could just flash a cwm via odin wich can wipe/reset all data if im not mistaking,
I'll chek this out is there any cwm'ds who can do that,coz i rememba reading one forum where guy was complaining that he did wipe and everything was formated!

I can accomplish a full format of the internal sdcard on my galaxy s2 without it affecting the rom in any way whatsoever and it is running cwm 6.0.1.0 also. From how I understand it, the partitions are set up differently on the s2 and this device. The s2 has a separate partition for the internal sdcard making it possible to format via cwm. On this device, the sdcard is part of the data partition meaning wiping it will leave you with no rom installed and no storage on the sdcard. I think all versions of cwm can wipe the slate clean, it is just a matter of everything else being wiped clean also. But, if you are aware of a cwm that let's me accomplish this, I would love to find it. Thanks again.

I just got a replacement LTE not that long ago and decided to give custom roms a go. I used RegawMOD and then flashed SuperLTE rom. I noticed that it was taking a while to pull my music and pictures in from my SD card into Gallery and Music apps. I also went to change my ringtone and my custom tones weren't in the chooser. I thought that it was weird because I gave it plenty of time. I went into ESFileExplorer and can access all of my stuff on the card, but it still wouldn't show up in their respective apps! I thought maybe it needed another cleaning, so i booted into recovery, did factory reset, wiped cache and dalvik cache, rebooted to system... still same problem. The one thing I DID notice this time was that the pictures that were on my external SD card in the DCIM folder showed up in the "All Photos" album in the Gallery, but not in their separate folders. I figured maybe it was a ROM problem, searched the forum and saw 1 other person with the same issue. Everyone was trying to help him, but everything suggested he tried and it didn't work. I then flashed MeanROM hoping to have better luck. SUPER CLEANED it by doing all the wipes twice before I flashed MeanROM.... SAME PROBLEM! People in that forum were trying to help me as well, but everything they suggested, I did, still didn't work. One thing suggested that I tried was to back up, format, and restore my SD card. That actually worked - but only for making a couple of my photo albums show up (not all of them), but my music still won't pull into any music apps and my ringtones aren't in my settings! I'm going craaaaazy! It clearly isn't a ROM problem, what could it be??!!
Might be the phone itself.

Did u try moving all files to computer then mount sd in twrp then reformat? Is it internal sd or external sd2? If you got a cheap sd card off eBay from China it could be that. U try other sd cards to make sure it is the phone?
Try to fix permissions in TWRP. I had the same problem only some pics and no music was showing up in their apps. I fixed permissions and rebooted to everything working fine.

If u have tried different cards then I'm not sure that would help. Did you try fix permissions like the second post said? Try that first since it is easier and less time consuming. I've never had to reformat a sd card before, so I don't know exact steps. It's pretty straightforward, just back-up the contents of the card on your computer first.
To reformat on windows you right click on the storage card from computer in start-up menu. Should give warning about erasing everything, but if you've backed up then no worries.

Oh, my bad. I thought there might be some way that would be different by doing it through TWRP. I've already wiped and reformatted the card. I'm pretty sure something happened due to the way the bootloader was unlocked or with TWRP or something. Nobody seems to know why it would happen, but I'm not the only one it's happened to. It's really annoying!!! I tried fixing permissions like 15 times... Nothing is working. Thanks for trying!
Don't know if this will work because of everything else you've tried, but you can give this a shot.

Hi, new guy with english problems here, be gentle
So basically I lost access to any kind of storage on my SGS2 running CM10.1. Here's what happened. I was using internal and sd for a long time, then, as I needed my SDHC elsewhere i removed it. Nothing was lost as all data was stored internally. BUT. After formatting SD in FAT32 and putting it back everything crashed. Apps are refusing to work, demanding an SD card. Files Manager says that folder was lost. All of them. First thing I wanted to do was to flash CM once again, a newer NB but my PC does not read internal storage either, and putting it in sd doesn't do me any good as cwm doesn't see it also. CM can access internal, so i flashed the same version of CM once again - the only one i got there. Nothing changed. I'm a bit lost and seek any advice
U checked if u really format it with Fat32?

Thank you! That was the problem
Hello!
Last time I can say that my phone is slowly and I have bugs that no one have! And I dont know where can be the problem.I flashed different roms - aways full wipe, even try with superwipe and format sd card...Still have really strange bugs...
The last time when i flash rom i i did this :
1.Remove the sd card, put it in other device, then format and copy the rom
2.Go to recovery wipe all
3.Put the sd card and flash the rom
4.Flash the boot.img
Is im doing it wrong ? Any advice when to format sd card, before or after flash the rom ? Cuz like now Im with mysensedx 5 and i have really stupid bugs...Before that I was with ics full sense...The first time when i flash it +CrossBreeder mod the phone was flying :victory: I was playing Minions without any lag...But the next time when i flashed the same rom was tottay different thing! And i didnt do anything else..But the phone was slowly and full of bugs...I really idk where is the problem.Now I dont have any mods/scripts and I want to reflash the current rom (mysenseDx5 rc4) with full wipe + sd card format just to be shure that everything is gone but not shure how to do it ? the steps...Any advice or info will be helpfull.
Thanks!
Steps are the same as usual... Just wipe your phone phone complete (without wiping sdcard), then install mysensedx5, and at last install any custom sense kernel for JB of your choice. Important is to install a JB kernel, not a ICS one. Then, you should be fine.
Okay I will try.So you say to not touch the sd card ? Cuz late can be problem or is no need to format ?
As long as the file system on sdcard is fine, there is no need to format it. Because you recently formatted it, I assume that it is fine already.
Not once have you mentioned an actual bug u encountered. Please elaborate so others can help. There is no reason for random bugs if others are not having them, unless u have a faulty hardware.
Ok ok....I wiped again and flashed the rom and...Still got the problem with the app that dont want to stay in the folders .I still didnt istall all apps that I use...On the restart Cleaner and ES Explorer that i moved in the floder before that are outside of the folder...Its annoying...Cuz i like to organize it on internet,social and etc...For now i installed dialer fix and bress back 2kill apps nothing else that can make this thing...Maybe I just have to get over it..Or move to supersensedx...
PS:
Maybe the problem is that i moved them to sd card ?...I will see now

That's possible. Which sd card class are you using? If it's a slow one, that could be the issue indeed...
