Okay I did a dumb thing and hit factory reset from bootloader instead of hitting recovery. So now only twrp folder shows and I have to flash from my eternal sd card. When Im in the Rom (CM10) I have no internal memory. I recieve a need sd card message when I try to download from the browser and under storage settings it says mount sd card under internal but It never mounts. And in cm10 I cannot mount usb storage. Sooooo.... wth? Should I run an RUU or is there a simpler or less painful solution? HELP! Thanks!
P.S. Is this the answer from the F.A.Q?
"Help I flashed a new ROM/update/script and now I can't access my internal/external SD card Its OK, the SD card has been corrupted but you can reformat it with recovery itself or by using recovery to mount the card and formatting it by PC"

Sorry didnt see this but replied in the other thread you asked the ?. Yes you have to mount internal to PC and it'll tell you to format. Once you do all is fixed

Hi. Noob Android user here
So. I turned on usb storage and formatted the sd card from windows. I copied some files onto it and after i turned off usb storage it said "SD card is safe to remove" and i don't seem to be able to mount it back.
Thank you.

try to format it thru phone
Tried that a couple of time and it didn't work. After a couple of reboots it worked now. Thanks.
Still got a question though.
What are the correct settings for formatting the sd card from windows?
Is it necessary to partition it from CWM? What are the correct setting for this?
LE: Ok. I got myself deeper in trouble. I managed to format the sd card from CWM. I mounted the sd card and copied update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-p500-signed.zip over. I wiped the phone's memory and tried to install CM7 and got the following error: "E: Can't open /sdcard/update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-p500-signed.zip (bad)". I also tried with update-oxygen-2.3.2-LGP500-KANG-signed_v2.6.zip but doesn't work either.
I was thinking of trying to partition the sd card from CWM but i'm afraid i will make it unable to mount back again and this time i got no android to format it from.
Also it seems that formatting the sd card from cwm doesn't really work. The files are still there though it says that it completed.
LE2: I managed to mount sd card from cwm and copied over a cwm backup folder i had in my computer. Takes a while to copy it like it really does something. But after i try to restore or remount usb storage the files aren't there anymore.
can you tell me why do you want to patition your sd card? do you want to create second partition (sd-ext) or what?

Just format your SDCARD from SETTINGS - STORAGE, after that proceed with the instalation of CM7 or whatever you want. Don't partition your SDCARD if you don't know how to do that and if you don't need partitioned SDCARD. It is not necessary to do that if you don't use an APPS2SD app, so don't waste your time with that.
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?

Try heading into recovery, plug in your USB, and go into Mounts and hit Mount USB storage, see what happens.
it says Unmount and go back...should i click unmount?

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

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.
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.

Flash latest Siyah kernel (if you're on ICS/JB) and then boot to CWM. In mounts&storage mount USB storage and connect pc and phone via usb.

I am trying to mount sdcard/0, which is my internal sd card. I am using a CM10 rom and realized that /sdcard is now /storage/sdcard0 in jelly bean. I am the only one on the CM10 fourm who can't mount his/hers. When I go to settings-storage-usb storage, I click "mount sd card" and the phone freezes, then it says calculating and it disappears. My actual external-sd card is mounted perfectly and even the computer reads it, but not the internal. I have trying re-installing the rom, and now I cant access my backup either, CWM tells me something about bad MD5 sum? How do I mount the internal sd card/sdcard0? I cant use camera, dropbox, gallery, take screenshots, etc. I hope someone answers since I've tried asking on the CM10 fourm and no one answered, and all the other similar situations are for other devices, mostly Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Nexus.
The same thing happened to me but it was on the external sd. I formatted it with another phone. Did you try reflashing the rom?

First, thanks for replying! First time that happened to me. Anyway, yes I did try doing that, and it didn't work, apollo (stock music app) only reads my external sd music sometimes, but most of the time I will have to unmount and remount the sd card, and the device isnt confused on which is internal and external, because in storage-settings the usb storage is the one not mounted and the one under external sd is the actual external sd.
Try formating internal card after you install rom

I feel so nubish! I tried doing that right before I installed, but not after. This was all I needed to do, and no one else (on the other threads) will tell me. Thanks DZ!
I'm having very similar issues on an HTC EVO 4G LTE using CM10. The internal SD card shows up as "Internal Storage" under Settings > Storage, yet after tapping on "Mount SD card," it tries to prepare/calculate it, yet it goes back to the way it was. Using an external microSD card works just fine. I can't format the internal storage via CWM either, as it'll just say:
Code:
Formatting /internal_sdcard...
Error mounting /internal_sdcard!
Skipping format...
Done.
Been working on getting CM10 to work properly for a good 5 hours. Calling it a night!

I was trying to do a factory reset and accidentally wiped eveerything from my internal sd card. Now I cant get into my phone. I have TWRP installed with Jewel PVT Ship S-on RL
I have some ROMs on my external SD card but everytime I try to install the ROM through TWRP form the external sdcard it fails because it says that the internal sdcard failed to mount. Is there anyway to get the ROM from my external SD card to my internal SD card since it is now wiped and can not mount. How can I get a ROM installed if it is currently on my external SD card. Thanks!

First thing is format the SD card. Then from with in twrp switch from Internal to External SD card, and then browse for your rom there

Can I format the card in twrp? What is the filesystem? EXT? After formatting it be able to mount? I was trying to install from the other sd card but it was failing due to not being able to mount sdcard. Hopefully a format will fix that.
You may have to go back to TWRP 2.2. That was the only way I got mine back to a functioning phone. Oh and copy your ROMs to the internal SD after you format it. It can be done through TWRP. Hope this helps cause I know the pain your going through without your phone.

Had this problem
Ended up having to USB mount the phone, then format using mac's disk utility. Certainly would have been easier if I had been able to successfully format it from within recovery!

At least you're back up and running. Hopefully you had a backup of your setup on your computer before you had to format.
