Hey guys, so my galaxy s2 has been running on RR 3.0.5 with the latest siyah kernel. A problem I've been having is frequent media corruptions, and to solve that, I thought reformatting the internal storage would help. After doing so with cwm touch 6, it doesn't recognize my sdcard when i use my phone. What can I do to fix this?

do factory reset with internal SD wipe in the phone and not in CWM, and you should be fine.

Just did that, and sadly, it didn't help. The phone still doesn't recognize my external sd card.

Could be that the SD card is faulty. Have you tried the SD card with another phone? Does your PC detect it?

So I tried swapping my SD card for another 32 gb one. However, it isn't the SD card's problem. It's that my phone simply doesn't detect that there IS a SD card mounted in it.

I remember there was this setting to mount the external SD card from settings > storage, but don't remember which ROM had that.
If that doesnt work/if that option isnt there, your last option is to check with stock ROM as suggested earlier. Maybe it is a hardware fault.

In RR there's no option for mounting external SD, only "unmount shared storage". Will try going back to stock 4.0.3 as my last option.
EDIT: Went back to stock 4.0.3, reformatted usb storage and sd card and flashed back RR 3.0.5. So far so good, no problems

Hi guys,
i have flashed a few miui v4 roms and i think they have messed up my external sd card settings or something along the line.
now i'm back on a gb rom, i see the sd card when the phone is up and running but if i try to flash from cwm 4.0.1.5 it doesn't see mmy external card ?
do you guys have any idea how to sort this out ? i want to say that this sd card has always worked fine on this device, it's just now that cwm doesn't see it.
thanks
Format the card & see if the phone recognises it. If not, faulty card given you're running stock & the card should be visible to the phone/working fine if the card is good/not faulty.

What version CWM recovery are you on?
I meant, if you go to the Mounts and Storage menu, does it have an option for mounting or unmounting /sdcard? If so, does it say mount, or unmount? If it says mount, then you have to mount it in order to use it.
4.0.1.5 and yes there is mount, i mount it, go back to choose zip from sd card.....and there's no internal card detected....if i boot in the system i can see it with file explorer or the likes...it's just cwm not seeing it

Hmm. I've not used 4.x.x.x in quite some time.
I'm using 5.0.2.7. For me, anything that refers to "sdcard" is the external card. "internal sdcard" is the built in flash memory. And as it turns out, I didn't even have to mount /sdcard to use either.
Sorry man...
How did you get 4.0.1.5 installed? Maybe it's time to upgrade.
yes probably, how do you actually upgrade this ??

I'm have a bit of a problem with CWM not loading external sd card.
I have been tring various roms & have now decided to go back to stock.
I have installed the latest stock UK rom & the modem & kernel & have now rooted with tool kit, latest version.
When I go in to cwm recovery it's loading the sd card, I no there is nothing wrong with the card.
How can I fix this problem?

Nope that didn't work, rebooted after install then in to recovery - only seeing internal memory - NOT sd card
I had that problem as well. I use a 64Gb formated with ExFat. What i did was as follows.
I copied all data from the sd card to a pc. Then i formated the sd Card with Exfat again on the PC and copied all data back.
After that it was working without problems again.

Don't use exFat. It's a horribly hacked filesystem with even worse implementation under Linux (read: Android) due to it's very low acceptance.
If you want something more advanced than FAT32, use the much more sophisticated and reliable NTFS (requires an aftermarket kernel) or the Linux-native EXT4 filesystem which is also used on the internal storage.
Using Fat64 is just asking for trouble

OP has problem with internal, not external.
I own a Sprint Sgs3 rooted. A while back I was running a 4.2 rom, I believe liquid smooth. From that I did a clean install and switched to a 4.3 rom to try it out. When it got to the home screen it said my SD card may be corrupted and asked me to format. I hit yes and nothing seemed to happen but I no longer got the error. I switched back to a 4.2 rom and it says my internal memory is 95% full and my SD card has 16 gb free. Before this happened it was split between the two so internal wasn't nearly as full. How do I get it back like that?

You can't exactly... the "internal storage" in your screen shot is the /data partition for installing applications, that is the normal place apps go. Under normal circumstances you cannot install apps to your internal (12.5GB) storage, it is considered external storage to the operating system, hence why it is in /sdcard0 and your real microSD card is /sdcard1. To use these areas for apps you must use a tool like App2SD, Link2SD, or similar app, and only some apps can be moved, if it has a widget it cannot be moved and there are a few other rules that it will ward you about.
Okay.... So I did what you said and tried link2sd, but when moving apps to SD I get an 'INSUFFICIENT STORAGE ERROR'
And isn't there suppose to be an 'move to SD card' option in this app?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No, not in KitKat anyways, it doesn't have the SD card support that ICS had, Google hates SD cards for some reason, and has been limiting SD card support more and more in each Android version since Ice Cream Sandwich.
As far as the error in Link2SD, not sure, I haven't used it in years... Sorry.
I can be able to move apps to sdcard0 on omni kitkat rom...guess I'll stick 2 it,other kitkat roms excluding liquidsmooth and omni are a bit laggy

Sounds like you need to format the internal storage then mount it and just for good measure backup the external and format that and then mount too. I had a similar problem and when I did this all is well. I hope this helps.

How do you go about formatting the internal sd card. I just went from 4.2 to 4.4.4 and now TWRP and CWM recoveries will not mount and recognize the internal card. I can't even access the internal card to format it or anything else. How do I go about fixing this. 4.4.4 is pretty sweet.
