[Q] [HOW-TO] SD card safe to remove every reboot - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running the latest MROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836674 and everything is fine.
Though, every reboot, i get the message "Safe to remove sd card" right after "Preparing SD card"
I cannot backup rom onto SD card because of this.
How do I fix this?

If you are going to backup the ROM through recovery. You will just have to mount the SD card through recovery. BTW, is it the internal (if you have one) or external SD?

External SD card, internal is working fine.

Did you have this problem on a stock ROM?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

Nope, even after I got MROM which was a week or so ago, it was all fine.
Ever since yesterday, i've been getting this error.

I would try re-flashing your ROM. and if the issue is still persistent, try fixing permissions through recovery.

Problem solved!
All I had to do was Settings>Storage>Erase SD card (THE EXTERNAL ONE) and everything is back up working.
All I had was an old clockwork backup file and some music on it, therefore noting valuable is lost.
Thanks for everything !

Backup the contents of your SD to the PC, format SD, and you should be good to go.

Back it up somehow, do a complete format of the card, then move your data back onto it. If it still has issues, format it and put no data on it until you've verified that the data is good. I've had issues both with the card being corrupted and data being corrupted that's led to unrecognized cards and random unmounting of the card.
Also, there's no point in wiping more than once. Anyone who tells you it does do something it lying to you.
Hey loon thanks for your words of wisdom seriously, I've done everything you mentioned,i may get a new SD card but I Will try your way though wish me luck homie

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.

Yeah, back the files up on your pc/laptop. In storage options, it'll allow you to format the SD Card.

ok well before I do that, I am looking through the settings and I do not even see a place where I can format a sd card. Where would I do this?
Are you trying to format the internal sdcard or the external one?

Try booting without the SD card in and see if that stops the reboots.

It seems it wasn't the zip on my sdcard causing a problem, because I was able to get into recovery without the sd card in and factory reset, and was able to boot normally with my sdcard in. Thank you though :good:
