Droid X2 on Eclipse 2.3 (now on CM10)
with a 32GB Sandisk (link to: ht tp://goo.gl/ h9Mai (remove spaces))
My phone has become very slow, so i decided to reinstall Eclipse, so I booted into recovery, wiped the data and cache then tried to install Eclipse. within a few seconds, it came up with an error saying that the file was bad. I rebooted the phone and reformatted the SD card, now the internal storage ( in Settings>Storage settings) now only gives me the option to format internal storage and the SD card gives me the option of formatting or mounting the card. There is also a notification saying Preparing internal storage, Checking for errors. I selected the Format SD card and after it finished formating, it now says that the card only has 4.3GB of storage. Any suggestions or Fixes?
The Bootstrap Recovery can read the two memories without any issues, and i did a SBF back to 2.3.4 and had the same issue
I Just installed CM10 and the problem persists, The SD card says insert a sd card for mounting (it is inserted) and the Internal storage says Mount SD card

If it gives you the option to mount the SD card, do so. It's my understanding that after reformatting the SD card you have to mount it for it to be used with your phone.
Unmounted means your SD card is in your phone, but not connected to anything so you can safely remove it. Mounted means your SD card is in your phone AND it is integrated into the phone's system and can be used for data storage.
And possibly adding to your confusion is that Eclipse has a mod called SD card flip-flop, which reverses the naming of your internal storage and external SD card. Check out this link that explains it in depth http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1229294
Cyanogen Roms do not use the SD Card flip-flop mod, and they also name the storage locations slightly different than the stock Rom.
Thank you, but as it turns out the SD card it self is not working. I plunged it in to my computer with an SD card adapter and it didn't show up. I assume that the card has become corrupt, so I will be replacing it. Their is one thing that confuses me however, and Is how bootstrap recovery is capable of reading the card, but the phone when booted normally or the computer can not.

And for future knowledge, you cannot flash a ROM over CM10. Theres an issue that CM10 has with flashing ROMs. Other stuff flashes fine. Just not ROMs. So that would explain why you had a problem flashing Eclipse when you were on CM10. The right process is to SBF and start over or restore a nandroid backup of Ice Cream Sandwich or Gingerbread and go from there. On top of that, Eclipse is on 2.3.5 while every other ROM is on 2.3.4. So flashing a 2.3.5 ROM on 2.3.4 will also not work.

I have used some custom ROMs (2.2, 2.3) on my X10, but none of them recognizes my SD card. The stock ROM (2.1) reads it properly, it is visible when I connect the phone to the computer via USB using the stock ROM.But when i use a custom one it says "Please mount SD card..." on Storage Settings and the computer recognizes it as removable disk, but it shows that the card is empty.I've tried cleaning all types of caches, full wipe, mounting/unmounting the SD card and formatting it with xRecovery and changing different basebands.
Is it a ROM bug, or I am doing something wrong?
Please check that your SD card is formatted to FAT 32. If not, the ROM won't recognised it.
Your SD card is probably partitioned.
Custom ROMs for X10 only recognise the second partition on an SD card,
meaning if you have one FAT32 and one ext2 (ext3, ext4, etc), it will mount the second and thus won't be able to read it, so you'll get an "SD card corrupted" message.
You need to wipe and erase the second partition with the same program you used to create it and it should work fine on any custom ROM.
I wiped the old partitions and then formatted the SD card to FAT32.Now it's recognized properly by the ROM.Thanks to both of you!!!
I upgraded to the most recent Batista70 rom, and after that to the CheckROM (from the old Leomar revolution ROM).
I can access the internal SD card in every possible way, except I can't move apps to it. Every time I try it says "Your phone does not have SD card. Insert SD card.", even though in the Manage Applications menu, on the SD Card tab it shows all the apps that can be moved to the card as well as the correct storage underneath.
Debugging is off. It's a fresh install. In the Storage menu, it refers to the internal SD card as "USB storage" and to the external SD card (which I have none) as just SD card.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Use a different rom. For some reason I believe some roms have bugs. I had this same issue with barista hence I moved back to checkrom
Copy files to pc then format the Sd card the move the files to your sd card hope it work !

I installed checkrom 3.0.0 based on XXKJ2, and will now try to install 3.1.1 which is based on XWKJ3.
The strange thing is, even in CWM recovery, I can install zips from the sd card, but it has the option to "install a zip from the internal sd card", and that doesn't work, so I'm afraid even CWM is reading that as the usb storage.

That is strange indeed. Now the only thing left to do I suppose is to reflash via odin before flashing a custom rom.
Format SD Card
Format your SD card, first copy all your files to your PC. Then wipe all data and install a new rom
Just flashed a stock rom, albeit not it's first (which was from July), and the problem persists...
I filed a bug report on the Checkrom bugtracker here: bugtracker. checkrom. com/ view.php?id=31 (can't post links, too new a user)
I'm guessing it's not a problem with their rom anymore, but if they solve it, good for everyone...
It's really strange because I can read the SD card perfectly, and it even shows on the pc when I plug the phone in, but some applications, like camera and microphone can't record on it. The economist magazine accessed it without problem and downloaded into it a couple of issues, so... strange...
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
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.
Edit: Solved

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.

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
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
