Hey there guys.
I have been using my phone everyday with no problems - currently using CM7 by Mik.
Anyways, I put some songs into my SD Card through USB yesterday and I went on with my day, no problems.
I got home, and I notice the SD card was removed. I reset my phone but now my phone does not recognize the SD card.
I tried the SD card on my sister's Android phone and it works perfectly. I can't even get the USB connection to work.
How do I go about fixing this? I tried getting in through the Android SDK, still no luck. I tried mounting via recovery and no such luck also.
Any help would be great, thanks.
just flash the rom which u are using (u said mik's rom) from recovery without formatting system and without any data or cache wipe, i think that should work.
Your data will be as it is but u need to flash again the zip files u flashed after rom install previously (like google apps zip file from mik, ap2sd zip file, any theme zip file etc. whatever u flashed previously).

Tried mounting it from recovery. No luck :|
Is it a problem with the phone itself?
Did it gave an error or nothing happened
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
use a different sd card and see if u r able to flash from recovery
Nothing happened, just says "no such directory" or SD card cannot be found.
No error or anything.
I put my SD card into my sister's Android and it still works. I used her SD card and it doesn't work on my phone but it works on hers.
I think it's the ROM or the phone itself. How do I go about flashing the phone through the PC without an SD card? Or how do I flash a ROM from recovery without SD card?

Also, if it is a problem with the SD card and I wipe everything and still don't have access to it, will I be able to still a flash a ROM some way or will my phone be bricked?

I think u should flash stock rom from lgmdp.
follow "cook your custom rom" till step 2
cook your custom rom- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901417
(disable lg modem before start)
Now start lgmdp and
select port
select image folder the created "stockrom" folder
Now uncheck "recovery image" option (to have custom recovery retained)
then download.
(donot disconnect untill it shows download complete)
Note: i didnot test it , but i think it should work.

Hi, as I said before, I've already tried sticking other SD cards in my phone. They aren't being read, but when I try to put them into other phones, it works OK.

Hey there, I'll look into this, though I doubt I'll be doing all of this since I'm not very proficient in doing all those commands and whatnot :|
Anyone else have any other ideas before I start doing mad scientist stuff to my phone?
Have this error on ICS, but never on GB.
Tried unmount/mount
Searched for the temp file (none found.)
Stumped.
Any ideas?
It's not in every app. Some install fine.
+1 same error when installing some apps, not all
Yeh got that too when I tried out ICS earlier
Sent from my GT-I9100
I tried unmounting the SD card and found that to work on apps that I had problems with installing.
I also had to change my settings in Titanium Backup so that it installed to the internal SD card as it was having problems restoring some of my backed up apps.
Edit. I'm on the AndyX rom v 5.1, ICS 4.0.3, XXLBP. Now when installing apps I try all the ones I want with the SD card mounted first, if any don't install I try again with the SD card unmounted through the storage option in the settings. Its annoying, but hopefully it keeps working until there is a fix.
cannot move apps to ext sd card
GS2 I9100kernel version 3.0.15-i9100xxlpb
Not possible to move from int sd to ext where previous
versions allowed it. Seems like a bug. Tried to use SDK
tools changed default install location to external. still does
not solve problem.

+1 i cant move app to ext sd too....dunno why....i cant install more apps coz i have only 2xxMB left while my ext SD have more than 10GB space=.=
+1 Also have the same problem, Before I just went straight from GB to ICS without using ODIN and that worked fine, after that I used ODIN to flash the Stock S2 ICS I have this problem.
I had the same problem with moving apps to SD and unable to download market apps.The solution is to flash the LP6 kernel.The problem is that the LPB kernel has various bugs and in some occasions disables the USB and mass storage modes so the only way to solve this problem is to flash the LP6 kernel and all these problems will go away.Unfortunatelly LP6 comes with other bugs like the radio doesnt work for example but I think USB and mass storage are more important.This method has been more than tested and confirmed on the Omega thread.Give it a go.

Thank you for this, it worked for me but it's a bit annoying ... must be a bug in the kernel as I found out that if we use the LP6 kernel, this issue will be fixed.
Thing is that on LP6 kernel the FM Radio will not work. I'm not a Radio lover but sometimes we need it.
Hope the fix will come in the next kernel

Are you on LP6 firmware?
This is how I rooted ics:
1 Flashed latest ics XXLPH via Odin.
2 Rooted with cf-root.
3 Installed mobile odin.
4 Copy the Code part of XXLPH to phone sd.
5 Open mobile Odin and select kernel, navigate to Code file.
6 Select Flash Firmware.
Might be an easier way but that's what I did.

I agree. This solves the problems. It is a lengthy one, but it does the trick, somehow...
Have you tried unmounting the SD card and then installing. You would then remount the SD card.

Got same error on XXLPQ
Same problem
Hello I have the original ROM from Samsung and I have the same problem. My phone is not rooted.
Any help??!
I flashed few different ics roms, but none of them could recognize internal or external sd card, when I use file expert, it shows me sd card in 0, and I even could not open storage option in settings, it just kicked me back to the home screen. When I flashed back to 2.3.6 roms, both internal and external sd card came back. Is there anyone else has this strange problem too, and how to fix it?
Great appreciated if someone can give a little bit help!
Looks I am the only one has this problem, anyone know how to fix this?
Did you wipe when flashing?
Have you tried to format your internal storage in recovery?
May be you did something wrong? On 3 different roms have same issue, strange. After install new rom, when phone will boot for first time, go back in recovery do a factory reset. Also I suggest you to go in recovery and format you storage

Hey Guys,
Can anyone please help me?
I had a search but cant really find any direct answers,
I had an S2 before, never had any problems, rooting it flashing ROM etc etc,
Just got an S3,
When i first flashed a CWM on it, i think it was version 6.0?
I had no SD card in at the time, after flashing it went to a CWM recovery screen and had a count down from 20 seconds saying "Trying to mount SD Card"...of course there was none inside it at the time , so the timer went to 0 and then reboot the phone and it was back to the launcher, I inserted an SD card, downloaded a ROM,
I then , reboot to recovery, now when i try to use my SD card to install the file it says "Cant mount SD Card",
Tried to go to advanced and mount, still no luck?
I tried to flash 6.1.4 touch recovery, same thing,
i went back to 5.5 same thing,
SD card works fine when i am in windows, or when the phone is on and file explorer,
I just flashed a Stock ROM through Odin and tried again, still no luck,
Someone,
Please help
Thanks

Use the Sammy rom, go to settings/storage and format the sdcard using the phone. Then it should mount using CWM.
Never format/repartition your sdcard using your computer again, shrink it if you want extra space for something else (I shrank it for creating a "Linux swap" to use yank555 swap mod so telling you just in case.).

Hi...My xperia doesnt get detected by PC after flashing this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846760
What should I do now, pls help...
Does your system.prop have something like these lines.
persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage,adb
sys.usb.config=mass_storage,adb
Or
persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage
sys.usb.config=mass_storage
If not try to add those lines in your system.prop file and reboot and try again after. And if those lines are already there then i realy dont know
Maybe some USB related .rc files are not right but you cant edit those without de and recompiling it.
Hope its just the system.prop for you.

Your welcome and sorry it didnt work.
Hope you find a solution for it.
Btw can you connect to the computer and access usb from recovery? Hopefully it does work in that way. Because if it does the recovery.fstab is working/correct.
And only 1 thing I can think of then is maybe the vold.fstab in the /system/etc directory which should have these lines.
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc0 /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.4/mmc_host/mmc0 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.4/mmc_host/mmc1
It's the last thing I can think off.

There should be something like "mounts and storage" somewhere in the menu and in there should be the "mount USB storage setting/switch for the mount and unmount hope it's the same at your recovery I use cwm but xrecovery should have similar options.

This says:
USB Mass Storage device
Leaving this menu unmount
your SD card from your PC.
-Unmount
Okay so if you press unmount and then mount again that doesnt work?
Can you browse the sdcard content with a file browser apk or gallery on the phone if so i really don't know how to solve it.
And if you can't browse the sdcard from a file browser or the gallery app on your phone the only thing then is that maybe your sdcard got corrupted somehow.
Only way is too check sdcard is by using a sdcard adapter chip. Or a special USB with a slot for it and then insert it in a modern computer or laptop, with the special kinda slot is only for (the adapter.) Then to check if you can browse the content of it.
Or if you have another phone which uses the same sdcard type as the x10i too check if it works on that phone.
If that all not works maybe it needs a formatting but then you lose everything on it.
So beware of it.
(I had this issue one time a while ago when unplugging my phone from the computer and I couldnt browse my sdcard or mount it after. I needed to reformat it within cwm recovery to make it work again but lost everything on it.lucky I've made a backup of the content of my sdcard like maybe 4 days before it happened)
Hope someone else could help you more or solve it before you try to reformatting it, to preserve your contents ofcourse.

Hmmm...I press unmount and nothing happens, there is no mount option. I have other phone and SD card is working good and I can search it with root browser normally.
Thats weird i am sorry really don't know it then.
And did you tryed flashing new/other kernels and different roms.
Or restored a backup of any rom you used before and tryed too see if it works properly on them.
But make a backup first.
I will try that rom when I have my x10 back running with new battery. And see if it works at me. If so maybe the rom and kernel you downloaded got corrupted somehow probably when downloading it.
But i am not sure.

You could
1) download the ROM you wish to install to a PC
2) remove your SD Card from X10
3) put the SD Card on the PC
4) copy the ROM to SD Card and put the SD Card back on the X10
5) reboot in xRecovery and install your new ROM
hope it helps.

I don't have xRecovery, I have CWM rec. Tryed to flash few ROM-s but unsucceful.
Hello I installed and tryed that rom.
I installed the normal rom TUG-SDE and provided kernel semcdebrandengine.ftf
I must say I had few issues aswell with USB first with flashing the kernel, but flashtool said something like install drivers from the drivers folder which is located at flashtools directory.
I used that program to install all drivers I need for the x10i.
And flashed kernel again and the rom with success.
And after that it worked properly also USB to PC connection.
