SD-Card shows empty in Android - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hey folks,
My SD Card shows empty once the phone is booted. Can't create folders either. Same with different cards.
SD card can be read in recovery mode...
Is there a security feature (never activated/installed anything) which could cause this?
I'm on Pro x-rom 2.3
(did backup to older Version which used to work witht he cards)
Kernel 2.6.32.9-perf
I'm afraid that it's a phone issue. Sometimes it says error when trying to read files in recovery too. Happens with multiple SDcards too.

Try using an application called "Rescan Media" available on playstore for free. Could be a problem with the media scanner of your rom.

[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.

[Q] Strange problem

I guys
I have a strange problem with my Neo (2.3.3 Portuguese tmn rom)
When i connect the phone to usb the icons of the apps that are installed on the Memory card vanish form the apps menu.
They don't come back ever... only if i move them to the phone and them to the SD again.
Please help
Thank you
its normal for them to vanish wen you using SD in phone on PC as removable drive but they should came back after you disconnect phone from PC. Tray all that apps remove to SD with all2sd or similar app. Maybe the app you using to move your apps to SD is incorrect.
Thanks for reply.
I use the android to move apps to the SD.
Tray with app2sd is free on market I using it and I don't have any problems with apps on SD. Please post back did that solve your problem.
Already have try that its the same
what type of connectivity you use on phone USB mass storage or media transfer. I using media transfer, maybe is something wrong in firmware you using.
I have tested the two types of connectivity with the same result.
if you have other SD Card tray put that one in, to test is the problem in card or phone him self. If is in phone tray flash other firmware.
Or maybe wait until the 2.3.4 be available to me
2.3.4. is already available you can use WotanClient to flash it. But rooting is lite harder.
im avoiding root.
But if i have no choise....
Then use wotanclient to flash new 2.3.4, just sing in on thers site and download program, while is still free.

Remember to move all apps to phone memory before format.

You can simply delete the update.zip file without any problems.

You need to keep update.zip on root of sdcard. It doesnt enter recovery mode if you not copy it back.

For such stuff, using the Droid Tool is the best way:

Format it with your android phone, or in recovery, not with your PC.

Hello,
If you like someone to help you, you must provide clear description of your problem - just precisely describe step by step what you did using understandable English.
For example what does it mean?:
"transferred my sd card" - what card (internal, external) what transfered? All data? or maybe you took out your external card and put to friends phone???
"put a zip" - what zip? containing what?
"my friends app don't work" - what app? etc etc
I think, noone yet answered you because the others are cofused as much as I am. So decribe it better + provide information on what rom/kernal you are, then we will see how to help.
Regards
I had a boot loop problem, cause I changed the boot logo. so I used my friends ext SD card to flash the stock boot logo. my friend had apps on the ext SD card and when he put his card back in his phone some apps mostly games were there but its icon was replaced with a gray icon that said 'SD' and when I launch it it says application not installed. wierd because when I go to manage applications it appears. and thx for the reply

Unfortunately I think that it concerns apps which were installed (moved) to external SD card and after removing SD card from the phone, data on the card could have been broken/corrupted, so that after putting the card back to the phone apps can't be recognized.
I'm not big optimist but you can try:
- move apps back from external sd to internal one (probably not possible)
- Back up the apps - if they are visible by eg. TitaniumBackup
- Unmount, mount again external sd card and reboot the phone
Regards
tried and didn't work. thx anyways m8

It's true, the files have become corrupt. All you can do is uninstall them, and re install.

S2 not showing internal storage

hello, plz tell me how to fix this. my s2 not accessing internal storage both from file manager and from pc. but it shows in recovery. currently am on carbon 4.3. i tried many file manager but every one shows only external sd card and system ,and internal folder is empty. plz tell me how to fix this. otherwise i should flash it to stock rom.
did complete wipe and cleared cache ,dalvik cache tried other custom rom, Nothing worked
thanks
It does seem like a problem with the ROM to me, but you could try to access it with linux instead of Windows/OSX just to see if that makes a difference. If it were me, since you have already flashed a ROM, try another custom ROM, maybe CM stable to keep it predictable. See if that fixes the problem. Or just re-download your current ROM and re-flash, you never know.

I tried different ROMs but same problem there. In file manager the internal SD card is empty and in recovery there it is.
I even can't open gallery or camera and can't download from browser. It gives error of " no internal SD card".

And also can't use Bluetooth because while receiving files it save it to internal SD card , and give error while receiving files. When there are no internal SD card accessible how it can save it.
And also I used GalaxSim unlock previously to unlock my phone, now it is giving error of sim lock, because the GalaxSim unlock files are save into Internal Memory and it can't be accessible so it giving sim lock error.

So in recovery you can see the internal storage but nowhere else? And you tried CM stable?
