Hi!
Just flashed CM10 onto my SII and that was no problem. But now it seems Android can't detect my SD card, though I can explore it using, for example, Solid Explorer. What could be the problem?
Thanks in advance!
Anyone?

Maybe try format it with Partition mini tool to fat32 and set as active.
[Q] SD card working but not found by Android
Easy ...
Using Root Explorer find a folder emmc.. Its your external sd card
Or simply use SD Card Binder from Play Store

SD Binder did it! Thanks a lot!

Hey,
I'm unable to access the SD card via any form once im booted into the ROM.
I can view the SD card in CMW and read from it.
The SD card is accessible via a USB cable when unmounted.
I have flashed the phone with several different ROMs.
I have formatted the SD card
I have tried different SD card
All have the same result, unable access when in the ROM.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Any idea on how to troubleshoot further or ideally, anyone know a fix?
Hope you can help!
Cheers,
Will

Apologies, Currently I'm using CM7, however i have attempted to use Aura and Gingerblur with the same result.
i too am having the same issue. i am on whatever teh official .91 is. phone is unlocked/rooted. no special rom here yet. about to flash ninja .04.....
just curious if there is any fix out there that tells the phone to use it....
no one else experiencing this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated..
some more info, if I attempt to mount SD card in CM recovery I get the following error:
E: Unable to write to ums Iunfile (No such file or directory)
The external SD card in CM7 is at mnt/emmc not mnt/sd-ext.
I know this thread has been repeated, I have a problem downloading some apps. I have checked other threads to do with this. I have also checked for smd2tmp1 and I can't find it."Couldn't install on USB storage or sd card". Bothering me

No, I think its about my sd card not working.
Can you access files that are already on the SD card?
You can try to reformat the SD card and see if that helps. If not try another SD card and see if that works.
Do you think that it is a problem with your software or the hardware?
What kind of SD card do you have?

How to fix "Couldn't Install on USB Storage or SD Card" Error
Hey Dude,
I too had this problem on my Galaxy Ace GT S5830. But I've fixed it now. There are 3 ways in which you could fix this (literally). (Before reading all this, check whether you have enough Internal memory i.e above 25 MB)
1) This method is a kind of a temporary solution. Unmount your SD Card in Storage Settings. Then Install your app. After installing it remount, remount you SD Card.
2) Format your SD Card. After that you won't be having any problem unless you install something that's not good for your phone. But then too, you may get this problem again. So, this method also is a kind of a temporary fix.
3) Now this is a permanent fix. Upgrade your phone with a Custom Rom. If you're having 2.2.1 or 2.3.6 android version currently, then this is just the solution. If its 2.2.1, then do it for sure. But if its 2.3.6 just try to follow the above steps. If its still not working, then upgrade it.
Best Roms : CM7, Jelly Blast, CM 9, PAC MAN.....
You'll get tutorials on how to install Cusom Roms on Youtube.
Prevention from these problems in Future
1) Don't ever install Black Markets like Aptoid, Black Market Alpha, Panda app.........etc
2) Try to stay away from Viruses.
Hope this helped you. Thanks :fingers-crossed:
hi all i have been very annoyed with sonys attitude to getting the sd card mounting wrong even after speaking to them online and over the phone i got the same reply ... this is not a fault with sony this is something you will need to contact the app devs. unhappy with this i tried fixes found on the www all came up with the same problem it all works fine on the phone but not on pc so after a bit of work i think i have a solution
the vold.fstabs in the /etc needs to be tweaked as with all others on the net but this one works with the pc as well.
has been tested on my device if you replace it with the file attached (root access required ) after renaming original to .bak .
reboot device if you get sd error on reboot please delete and restore orginal and post your finding
please note i am not a dev i have some knowledge but just a hobbyist
i hold no responsibility MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP

It's working ! Thansk you so much !!

Hi.
Is this a bug on all Xperia GO?
I don't have any issue with my SD card on my phone, everything are working like it should i believe.
Could you please explain what kind of problem this is? The SD EXT card i believe is the extra memory card you insert into the phone. If so, i don't have any problem with that one.
Thanks in advance

this is a problem with all go and as far as i know all xperia 2012 phones where the internal memory is partitioned to system and user the user is then mounted as sd card meaning that after 4gb no more app data can be installed etc. this means that you SD CARD is unusable for apps and app data (apps2sd) will try to install to sd card but go to internal memory

Uhu, I messed up.
I did everything you said, but right after restarting, some apps (usbotg, media service etc) stopped working and some apps as well, I think they were in internal storage.
One thing, as you were saying, the ext_sd will be sdcard and the sdcard will be ext_sd?
[Xperia Go] are the mountpoints the same in JB?
If I switch my internal and external sd mountpoints using ICS, will a upgrade to JB using SUS overwrite the(modified) vfold.fstab?
Isuspect the upgrade will unroot the phone
can i use in xperia go JB st27i? i tried, but unsuccessfully
Hi guys, this is my first post here.
I have a question: I know that i can't do a sd partition without a mod kernel, but there's no mod kernel for my device(sola)!
In development section there is a script that let me move app to sd but I don't understand if it works like Link2sd or if it is a great substitute of a sd partition..
Tnx for help!
are you refering to sd card not mounting as sd ? if so and you are a rpot user if u can send me ur vold.stab from systrm/etc i can look at changing it for you

that is absolutely not true. you dont need a custom kernel to partition your sd card.
what you need is a class 4 and above memory card and a rooted phone.
here is a full and easy guide that i always use everytime when i want to partition my sd card to use link2sd

so you are saying that the apps and app data are biengs stored on ur internel memory not your sd card when using apps2sd
Sent from my ST27i using xda app-developers app
Link2sd moves tha app on my ext sd card (not the phone sd card) but i know that it doesn't move it completly, it moves only a part, the other still stay on the memory's phone (or phone sd card i don't know).
I read a some post on this and in order to move totally the app to the ext sd card I know is necessary create a partition on the ext sd card and have a custom kernel (i'm not really sure about this last thing because a user over here says that it doesn't necessary and stock kernel is ok);
I only want to know if there is a alternative method to move the full app on the ext sd card (like the script in the post of the development section, but i don't understand if it's the solution that i'm seraching) or the only way is create a partition on the sd card (using a mod kernel or not..).
tnx a lot!

I experience a similar problem with a rooted Lenovo 790. It can always see phone memory, but occasionally can't see the SD card. Rebooting does not help. The only way I've found to overcome this is to physically remove the SD card and replace it, then reboot the phone.
