So I have an Hboot 1.15 CM10 Nightly installed on my evo, but i cannot access the SD card. Whenever I try to download something, it says I need external storage to download it, or even if I do a transfer from my computer to the SD card, I cannot see the sd card folder in TWRP to install gapps.
Is there any way to use my internal storage, or reconfigure my sdcard? Everything else works fine, but just really having trouble with this.
Ps. forgot to mention, I have S-ON, so maybe that is the problem?

The only problem with s-on is that you dont have full access to nand. Its not that big a deal considering there are plenty of ways to flash with s-on, just a few extra steps. Anyway did you wipe the phone prior to flashing cm10, you can either use a wipe script or you can manualy wipe by going to factory reset, cache and dalvik cache. When moving from a different rom, especially sense to aosp you need to wipe the phone to get rid of anything left over that could cause problems. There is also a zip that was recently posted that will re-write the locations for internal and external sd, I flashed it but Im only seeing the external sd now, still it helps that my external is better recognized

Yea everything was wiped. What I ended up doing was mounting the SD card from TWRP and for some reason it was able to detect it then. So now I am able to use the stock google apps, but I still can't use the camera, because it requires the SD card, so something fishy is going on with recognition of it. I highly doubt its a corrupt memory card because I just went out and bought it. (its a 16 gb class 10 SDHC sandisk card).

idk im on cm10 with a 64gb class 10 and it sees it fine.
ah..i cant believe that slipped my mind, the latest TWRP does support both cards, if you dont mind somewhat crippling the filesystem, you can flash that zip i was talking about earlier, it goes into the filesystem and erases the shortcuts for the internal and external sd and then rewrites them, i only had partial acces to my external the first time and after flashing i seem to be somewhat locked out of my internal (file explorer will not venture outside external sd) but the rom seems to run happily now

I will look into it, is there any way to switch the camera to use internal storage without going to the camera app? Whenever I do go to camera, it just pops up and asks for an external memory card
Maybe my card is formatted wrong? Is there a special way to format the card so I can use it?
well it may be that cm10 does not like the way your card is formatted but if it has no access to the card at all then formatting it will not help. Are you on the latest nightly? There are some issues with the sd cards but I havent had CM10 flat out refuse my sd card. Since TWRP can read and write to both cards you can try rebooting into recovery and reformat (wipe) the card, be sure any backups may have you have are safe

Suddenly I get this error in the notification bar:
Damaged SD Card - SD card is damaged. Try reformatting it.
And the SD card is not mounted. It's the internal one, the USB storage one I guess.
My external SD card works fine and is being mounted.
This is a huge problems since a lot of apps doesn't work when there is no internal SD. Swiftkey can't find it's languange packs, Gallery and many other video/image apps also fail etc.
If I reboot to recovery and to install zip from sdcard, I can see both my internal and external sd card. So recovery seem to be able to mount the internal sd, but android itself does not.
Now, I could format it, but I would like to at least be able to back up before I do, which is a bit of a problem since can't take the card out and use in a card reader and I can't get android to mount and share it either, even though recovery is able to mount the card just fine.
1) Does anybody know why this has happened?
2) Does anybody know how I can backup the contents of the internal sd, even if I can't get android to mount it?
3) Does anybody know how I any other way of fixing this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Rom & Kernel plz? :silly:
Also, Not really sure about this but I have a far reminiscence of having read somewhere that you can actually access your folders through USB from CWM once they are mounted. Please someone confirm this because I may be speaking bull****; otherwise you could try to backup your data from your very same computer.

Was using my wifi tether while phone was plugged in and when I checked my phone, I seen the white sd card with the exclimation point and when I pulled down my notification bar, it said "Removed SD Card, Insert a new one." I put it in another phone, said same thing. I put it in my laptop, and Windows didn't even recognize it in any way. When I put it back in my phone, it said "Damaged SD Card, Reformat needed" or whatever. When I tried to reformat it, it said it couldn't be reformatted. When I rebooted into 4ext to reformat it, it kept giving me errors that it couldn't be reformatted.
I'm running Dastin's WILD FOR THE NIGHT 2/15 4.2.2 rom. My SD card is a Lexar High-Speed Class 10 32GB.
All I'm trying to do is recover everything that is/was on it. I have a feeling that that isn't possible. I had 4GBs of music, about 10GBs of downloads, custom roms, etc.
If anyone knows how to recover my files or format the sd card without errors please tell me. Thank you.
I had the exact same problem once. no card reader was recognizing it. what i did was go to recovery and format the card from there. I remember i had to choose 4ext partition option or something like that to get it to format
Whenever I go into 4ext, it says sd card can't be mounted. The only way I got it to do anything was I used a friends desktop computer and it recognized it in My Computer, yet when I click Open, it says it's not accessible. I right clicked on it, did the full format, and at the end it said it couldn't be formatted. I went to properties and the disk is blue and it says 0kbs in all sections. I tried data recovery software, partition wizards, etc and no go. Can I send it to Lexar and have them do something about it?

Go into recovery and then select make sd-ext4 partition option. It should format the card. then afterwards you can remove the ext partition by reformatting
What if the sd card isn't recognized by any computer? And I have data recovery software that "claims" it can restore your data even after a format. Is that even possible?
Sent from my WILD FOR THE NIGHT'd Fr3vo that makes iPhags Jellybean.
I was once able to restore around 90 percent of my images on a corrupted card but i have never seen a card restore all the data on a card. It's all your luck
I had app backups, game data, videos, and about 4gbs of music. Will it restore them or images only?

Re:
Due to corruption your memory card stopped working and need to repair corruption issue, go for Kernel for windows data recovery software for the recovery of your data from the corrupted sd memory card.
Well i put the sd card in an action replay sd card adapter (the one that you take the bottom off and it turns into a usb drive) and I was able to bring up everything that was on it. I backed it up and formatted it with win7 partition wizard or something, and I put it in a regular sd adapter and I got nothing. For some reason it only works with the AR USB adapter. How can I get the sd card to work in my phone now? I'm thinking I can just buy another 32GB (or 64) since I was able to get everything off of it, I'm just trying to avoid that so I can try and save this one still.

Title says it all. my internal sd card isnt showing up and i cannot view/use any files on my phone that i have saved or view any pictures. please help me. i need a fix.

lol yes
keep this one, remove the other one (idk how to)
Without any basic info, I would just simply suggest you to do a reflash, a clean installation, start from scratch.
Re: Internal SD Card not mounting?
Well I'm on the slimbean rom 4.2.2 build 2.5
Current, when I go to storage, it says that I have only 1.97gb of internal storage when I should really have 11gb.
I'm running stweaks with the ajk "everything works" kernel
In storage, there is a category called "USB STORAGE" under it, it says Mount SD Card but it's greyed out. And then it says "insert an SD card for mounting" meaning that my phone doesn't even think I have an internal SD card.
In CWM, of I try to Mount SD card, of doesn't let me and if I retry to format SD card, it doesn't let me

This happened to me once. I removed the card and put in my PC then copied all the data off as a backup. I reformatted the card and then when I put it back into my phone it mounted great. I then went back and moved all the data back via USB.

USB storage would be the internal memory, or internal sd card if you prefer, and SD card would be the external sd card which you must insert first before you can mount. If you will look again, you will probably see that it says device memory is 1.97 gb total space with usually 1.something gb still available. I don't know your rom and kernel real well, but maybe device memory is called internal storage? USB storage should say something like 11.36 gb total space.
So if the USB storage is not being recognized then the problem could be either hardware or firmware related. So did you flash back to stock, or reflash your rom or another rom? That would be the first step of troubleshooting.
you formatted your external sd card to do this?
Researching...
so i did some more looking around on the forums today and found out that there is a way to get back your internal sd card by running these commands
i opened up terminal emulator and ran these commands that i saw on another forum:
su
echo mkdir /storage/sdcard0 > /data/local/userinit.sh
chmod 700 /data/local/userinit.sh
reboot
apparently, after the reboot, your phone is supposed to have mounted the internal sd card manually.
however after trying this method twice and rebooting, i still have the same error and my sd card has yet to be mounted

nope, all it says is that internal storage total space = 1.97gb
SD card stoage space (external sd card) = 3.68gb (this is true becasue i have a 4gb external sd card)
theres nothing that says 11.36gb free total space

I got distracted when I was posting that and hit send before I was finished. I went back a few minutes later to finish it. The whole point was to say that the problem is either hardware or firmware related, and to troubleshoot it you need to flash back to stock, or re-flash your rom or another rom.
Also, assuming the mount commands you used in terminal are good working commands, it would point to possible hardware failure.

im in odin right now trying to go back to stock but im stuck on factoryfs.img any ideas why?
CM sometimes messes with the partitioning or something. I have almost no experience with CM so you will need to get some advice from the CM guys. Try posting in the CM user thread maybe. Also mention your memory question there as it could be related to CM, maybe.

hey i just saw something interesting. when i go to CWM and try to install from internal sd card, it says "E: Can't mount /emmc/" any ideas as to what that means?
SOLVED!
First off, i want to thank all of you guys for helping me out i couldnt have done it without your support and suggestions.
Heres how i solved the internal sd card problem:
Well, i tried to use odin but odin didnt work and then i used the cyanogenmod 9.1 stable build but that didnt fix it either
Heres what i did: Downloaded the Cyanogenmod 10.1 Nightly build for 3/29/13.
after flashing it in cwm (i put it onto my External sd card), i rebooted system, it loaded up and whatnot
and then it told me that my internal sd card was either corrupted or unsupported.
it also gave me the option to format it in order to fix any corrupted files.
so i formatted it and voila! its fixed
Lately my phone will not recognize the SD card, I'm running the VipeROM on my phone. I have tried a different MicroSD card, same thing, and both cards appear fine when put in the laptop. This has just started recently, any suggestions? I'm hoping to not have to reflash the ROM if possible.
Thanks-Dan
Anybody?
Maybe you have to manually mount it. Go to settings then scroll down and click on storage. You will see your internal storage and external storage. Mount the external storage if not already mounted. If thats not the case then your rezound is going bad. I dont think it has anything to do with the rom but if you want, just do a back up and wipe and re install rom.
I received a GT-I9100 from a friend a while back, and I rooted it and installed Slimsaber's Kitkat ROM. Everything worked fine. Then I decided to install CM 12.1, Netflix didn't work, so I downgraded to CM 11. I noticed that I could not longer read the external SD card. What was weird is when I am in the OS and the micro SD card is in, I can't read the internal and external SD (file manager showed they were blank). If I take the micro SD card out, I can read the internal SD card just fine.
Whether using TWRP or CM recovery, I also could not mount or format the external SD. So I got frustrated and decided to go back to Slimsaber. Problem still persists. I decided to wipe/format everything I could possibly wipe, including the internal SD card and start over, reflashing Slimsaber, etc (I even installed the Slimkernel). No go.
What is going on? I just want to get the external SD mounted so I can load my gazillion mp3's and use them on our 2,000 km road trip. Now I'm stuck.
I forgot to mention that after Slimsaber and before the first Cyanogenmod ROM, I decided to repartition my internal SD (I was tired to running out of room for apps). Is it possible that something got all screwy with mounting the external SD after this? I chose about 4 GB for my internal SD (I think it was 2 GB before). I used this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...es/mod-partition-internal-memory-app-t2538947
Can someone please help me get this working? I don't care if I need to wipe/format everything again. At this point it doesn't matter. I'll do whatever I can to get this working again. However, I *do not* want to go back to having a small internal partition again. I need those extra couple of GB's.
I tried using Odin to flash the original partition, and then I flashed Gustavo kernel with CWM (like I had before). But I can't mount USB, I can't sideload a zip file (adb), and I STILL can't mount the external SD. So now I'm completely stuck, except for using Odin. I flashed the 4 GB partition again (since it made no difference going back to the stock 2 GB).
What do I do?!
*Edit*
I was randomly able to mount USB and transfer the ROM files... but I still can't sideload with ADB, and when I'm in the OS, I still can't mount USB.
YESSSSS. External SD (and internal at the same time) is now working!!! I had to revert back to stock ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/guide-26-12-flash-stock-firmware-rom-t2365701
I still have my 4 GB partition too. Up next, I am going to root it, and then install Slimsaber, and see how that goes.
I decided to install OmniROM since it was reported you can mount everything just fine (http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...-cwm-recovery-can-t-mount-sdcard-restore.html). So I did, and everything works fantastic! At least, so far. I can mount internal and external SD cards no problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/rom-omni-t2562055
