SD Card and root - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
Once again im asking for help with my S3.
Thing is that when I root it and put a custom ROM, my SD Card starts acting strange: it only shows some files (like photos) on gallery while on pc or any explorer all files are shown. While playing music it often lags ant etc.
I used Paranoidandroid and omega ROMs.
Everything is ok when I unroot it...
I tried everything, formatted in different systems, but still nothing...
I have 32GB Class 10 micro SD
Help please with this problem.

[Q] CM7 and SD Card

I just install j20a and everything seems to be running smooth and fine except for the fact that my sd card keeps reading that it's safe to remove. I tried searching but can't seem to find the answer.
Is there something i'm missing? I even reflashed the rom and still nothing
Have you tried after fomatting your card? If not then format your SD using PC and try inserting again and if that too doesn't help then format your card using some other Android phone.
Thanks
Yeah had to format. Problem originated after using link2sd with ewjet.

Hey,
I would say this belongs in the GS3 forums. You will get a faster response there.
Thanks
I also have a guide about SDs that don't work here.

Apps installed on my Rezound can no longer "see" my external SD Card?

My Rezound just started doing this in the past two days. Stock storage under settings can not see my external SD Card. No apps installed on the phone can see it either. Root explorer is the same. Funny thing is that stock Recovery can see it. I can flash RUUs. I can boot to AmonRa and its file explorer can see it and things flash fine. Anyone ever had this problem? I have factory reset in recovery...reflashed last ota RUU.....still have the same problem. The SD card works fine in my wife's phone.

Does it give you the option to format it from within your rom? Or does it just say unavailable? Do you have another sd card to test?

Does it with any SD card I put in.....says unavailable and is grayed out?

Have you tried doing right after doing an ruu like stock unrooted?
And did you s off? That can corrupt external sd cards but that doesn't explain other sd cards that weren't used during the process.
I hate to jump to conclusions but it sounds like a hardware malfunction. Maybe time for a warranty replacement

I've been S-off for quite some time. I have gotten it to read the card a couple of times today. I was able to restore some apps with titanium. When I plugged the phone in to charge ...I saw a quick popup....." SD Card unexpectedly removed". When it starts and the External Card is in Settings the phone works normally. But when the SD Card disappears all of the Apps that draw from or write to the External SD Card behave Strangely. It is very near stock now. It is frustrating that it works very well when set up excluding the external SD Card. I do have alot of things on the SD Card that I use a lot.....Guess I'll call support
Can you pull your SD Card and plug it into a computer? Copy over everything to a folder then reformat Card and put in phone, then if works copy everything back over. If still doesn't work I would suggest flashing the stock image since it will basically reset everything. Good luck.
I would keep working with people on here, those kinds of issues and support usually equal face palm or headache.
For reason unknown...when I restarted this morning the ext_SD mounted fine this morning and has been working fine since 5am. We'll see if everything makes it thru the day...lol

If it happens again, go into storage and select mount sd card. If it is mounted already, unmount then mount. Happens to me occasionally.

Those options are grayed out when it happens....

Well finally just started over....Wiped and reflashed phone. Then copied and reformatted SD Card, copied back to card ......everything is fine so far. We'll see how it goes tomorrow.
similar problem
I am having a similar problem. I just installed Neo's RAGE 1.9 rom, inverted Gapps, and flashed the boot.img since I am S-ON. Now I can't get to my ext SD once the phone boots up. Similar to manbat above, I can browse it in AmonRa, and even flash from it there, but after booting up the phone I get the "damaged SD card" message, and I can't access it. I've re-flashed the rom 3 times, and also the boot.img...even re-downloaded the rom, inverted gapps and tried all over again - but nothing changed :/ If anyone can help me out on this it'd be greatly appreciated!
You will have to copy your SD Card to computer. Since your phone is reading the SD Card as damaged you will have to reformat on your card on the computer and then copy your information back to your card. This is what worked for me.

Weird files reappear every reboot

Ive just flashed official malaysia i9100g 4.1.2 taken from sammobile. After doing hard reset, format usb storage, I inserted a sandisk ultra 32gb class 10 then I got this weird files on /storage/extsdcard. I thought maybe its a virus ive formatted it using the phone. But after every reboot, its still there. And antutu seems to freeze whenever it reaches sdcard i/o test. It worked fine in 4.0.3. Is this a microsd malfunction or jellybean issue?

Run check disk on ur computer..I had a similiar problem before.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda premium
check in i9100G Android development forum instead. They have a Q&A there too
Update: looks like it happen when im using usb mass storage, mtp and ptp mode. I guess im gonna need a card reader after this. Then going to do vold.fstab mod later.

Seems to me that you will need a new microSD card.
But, try first with card reader on some PC. Format and then check card on PC.
You wrote you formated card in mobile phone? But those weird folders look to me like suddenly visible deleted folders. So after checking on PC format again in phone.
Then read again line #1 of this post. I'd like I'm wrong...
Ah... have you checked with another SD card?
It works fine with 16gb + vold.fstab mod. Im going to check this microsd in ubuntu before sending it for warranty.

A weird problem with my sd card

Hi xdians,
I'm experiencing such a weird problem with my 8gb SD card I guess.
I download a music with mp3 format and I can listen it, but after 5 minutes I can not listen the music, its not recognizing the music, it can't open the music file.
When I download an apk from web I can install it immediately after the download has finished, but after 5 or more minutes I can't install the apk, it says ,, there is error parsing the package" also the icon from the apk is changed into android icon.
One more problem... when I move an app from internal memory to SD card I can open it and play it, but after 5 minutes or so after closing the app, I can not open it again, it instant force close when I'm opening. Also in settings on Manage Applications the icon on the app that has been moved to SD card is removed.
This are the problems I'm facing, every help/opinion is very apprecied.
Thanks a lot!

First of all, backup apps using Titanium backup. Secondly, Backup any data on your SD card to a computer. Format your SD card, restore data and see if that works.

You can still use apps in internal right?
You might have to replace your SD card.
But first Flash stock firmware.
Did this happen all of a sudden? Or did something happen.

Yes in internal I can use apps without any problem.
All of sudden I guess, I'm using custom miui rom with cm7 kernel.
And how do you mean replace my SD card? Use a new one or unmount>format>mount from stock rom?

He means go for new SD card
See if you had tried all possible methods for recovering like formatting and all so if now no option is left then go for new SD Card
