worst part is when i hit the mount i cant select internal storage its stuck on external in the mount option. then when i hit the mount USB storage all it would do is pop up unrecognized
Have you tried without the external? I it should mount internal by default

Yeah it mounted Internal now so i should just click erase/format FAT in disk utility? damn Macs make things so much harder on these phones haha
Also why would it install now but it says E:Unable to mount ;/sdcard' ?
Yes, hopefully that solves it

Hi guys, I have been using the AURA Rom for a while now but today when I rebooted my phone it would not go past the beginning blue android splash screen. I am trying to use CWM to wipe data and factory reset but it says:
wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
Error Mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping Format...
Formatting /emmc/.android_secure...
Data Wipe Complete
Now when I reboot the phone it gets stuck at Blur setup and none of the buttons are responsive. Eventually, the screen goes black and thats it. On the top left of the notification bar there is the icon for mounting internal storage and it doesnt go away. I am getting the feeling that the phone is not being able to mount the internal storage. I would really appreciate some help as I have no clue what to do and googling isnt bringing up any results. Thanks
So the phone just went past the blur setup part and booted into android. The problem is that the internal storage is not being recognized and is not mounting. When I go into settings and storage. It doesnt register the internal storage. It shows 0 bytes and hitting format does not do anything. Also when I try to connect to computer, I cannot see the internal storage. If you try to mount the internal storage, everything freezes.
Edit: Problem solved by formatting internal storage in Windows

Its a long shot, but if you still are round. How do you format INTERNAL storage from windows? I cant just take the sdcard out, but I dont know how to format it from windows.

connect phone to computer with usb and when the drives show up on your then select the internal sc card (right click) and select format.
Sorry, I meant how to format the internal flash storage, which has many partitions on it (one of them being the internal SD you refer to)
Right now, my vibrant can't mount the internal sd so im not able to use the internal sd at all. I tried flashing another rom, like from ICS Passion>ICS Slim but it didn't do anything. If I go into recovery, I can see all my files that I put on the internal sd before my phone couldn't detect the internal SD. I screwed the internal sd up because one of my apps weren't working right, and i deleted it using root browser. Afterwards, my phone couldn't detect it. If i go into the build.prop, it shows nothing about the internal sd and it being mounted so im not sure what to do right now. Should I try formatting the SD? My computer doesn't detect the internal SD and will ADB help? Any help will be appreciated

Did you wipe when moving from ICS Passion to ICS Slim? Are you restoring anything with TI or recovery when you do?
I wiped but I cant use TI because I dont have the internal sd mounted

Can you go in storage settings and hit Menu and hit Storage configuration and see what you have checked in there?
Well I'm in storage but when i hit menu there's nothing there. All I see is...my internal storage? I thought the SD card that you put in was your external storage?...Well thats 2GB, then its my usb storage that cant mount? Sorry, I guess its my usb storage thats the problem because my internal storage and my sd card show something. its just my USB storage thats unable to mount. If i press "Mount SD Card," then it says "preparing sd card" and then "calculates" my apps photos and everything. But after that it stops, and goes back to "Mount SD Card". Its like my phone doesn't know how to mount it now?

Can you access anything from your computer?
I can access the external SD card, but not the 16GB one
Edit:Nevermind, I can access it and look at all the files that i put on there. It says something about 0 bytes free and FAT32

When you tried changing roms, did you wipe everything or just data/cache?
I did wipe data and wiping cache.

Perhaps try wiping and installing CM9. It just stopped when you removed an app? Which app?
Alright, I'll try cm9. I was deleting swype, and after i did that by root browser it didnt mount anymore.
Edit: I remember i did try flashing a cm9 nightlie before i tried flashing ics slim and i got the status 7 error
Maybe try odining back to stock and going back then?
That's difficult, because I can't go to download mode easily. If i use like terminal emulator and try to reboot to download mode, nothing happens. Yesterday, my phone fell out of my pocket and when that happened the battery fell out. I put the battery back in and pressed some stuff I suppose, and I got into download mode. Im not so sure how I did that though...

You can't get into download mode from the terminal right now. What you gotta do is shut down, hold down VOL-Up and VOL-Down at the same time while you plug in the USB.
Hey All,
I made the mistake of "recovering" my external 32GB microSD card on my Galaxy SII in OSX Disk Utility to try to make it a Mountain Lion Disk image.
Now it doesn't appear when I enable USB file transfers, and when I press "Mount USB" in System->Storage it says "Preparing SD card" but nothing happens.
Is there any way to recover this microSD card or is it bricked? I've tried booting in to CWM recovery and formatting /emmc, but to no avail.
Thanks!
What if you format it as fat32 on the computer?

You have to plug it back into the mac, and do the following:
run the disk tool from finder menu -> utilities
select the sdcard in the disk tool, choose partition , choose settings on there and select "master boot record" choose 1 partition in the drop down menu, then select "fat" in the format options, and let you mac do its work ... now you can mount it again in your android phone
FWX
(if that doesnt help, msg me, and ill help you fix it another way)

Unfortunately the external mini SD card no longer appears at all. The internal one does, of course, but thats always appeared as a separate disk, and is much smaller in size.
Hi
Since quite a while now, I don't have any way to access my External SD Card on my phone.
I just installed latest Slim Bean and problem remains, nothing is mounted, even under CWM it can't mount /sdcard
My card is working well in my friend GS2 so I don't really understand what s happening. ANy idea how to fix this ?
Cheers !
I suggest you save the contents of the sdcard to your computer and then reformat the card through your phone, it might then be recognized by the phone.
If it is recognized simply copy back the contents from your computer.

The card isn't shown anywhere in the phone . I can't erase it from the phone so !
I did not say erase. reboot into cwm recovery - mounts and storage and format ext sdcard.
use the adapter that came with your sdcard to copy to computer.
If it is not recognized in recovery, there is a problem with your rom.

i have installed android 6.0.1 with twrp 3.1.1-0
and i cant install anything from internal/external memory , cant see anything in file manager(twrp) , wtf where is my internal in twrp?
I assume that with internal and external storage you mean /sdcard0 and external SD card? Check in TWRP if everything is mounted. If yes, try out an older TWRP build.
BTW, how did you repartition?

no everything not mounted , just blank window (select storage), also i cant see anything in partition SD card , blank aswell ,
There is a submenu somewhere in TWRP (I think 'mounts and storage' or similar). There hit 'mount sdcard' - is this option available?
