Sporadic reading 16gb micro sd - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The last 3 roms I've had have either not picked up my ext card at all or picked it up one day, and not at all the next my roms were( j.bam 5.1,5.2,6,6.1,6.2,6.4)(p.a. 4.0)& most recent Pacman, disaster v10(current) I have the micro sd in right now and nothing shows

Well it be better if you address this problem in the thread linked to the rom you are using.
As this be the best and quick way of getting feed back if others on such rom are having problems..
Try another sdcard also..

There must be something wrong with your SD card. try connecting it to a pc and see whether it detects your sd card

I've tried the sd card in my laptop and another phone, both have no problem

Have you tried flashing a different kernel? Dorimanx version that suits your Rom? Dorimanx 8.1 is very stable or v9's if your Rom uses the new Mali blobs. I have seen sdcard issues resolved by flashing a different kernel in some Rom threads. Siyah vsync could also be an option.

SD card shot

So I haven't flashed a nightly rom since cm7 nightly build 10 because it disrupted my SD card. So I haven't been on the forums since then so I feel out if the loop. Do we know if my SD card is fried and unable to use again. And if so where's the best place to get a new one

Back it up if you can, and if not you could lose all your data on it. I know a lot of people get them working again with just a reformat sometimes you have to use another device to format it completely...camera, xbox, or PC,...I use my digital camera and it works great

I have been running the powerwashed eh09 gb rom with tks kernal for a day now... I would tred lightly with the cm7,aosp gb roms....I read on rootzwiki some are still having sd cards fried.
I'm not sure about the fried sd-card on CM7 but CM7 has been working great for me and highly recommend it. Especially, with the nightlies.
I could never successfully run CM7 or any other MTD based rom. CWM would never mount my SD card and CM7 constantly told me my card was damaged.

Thanks for this reply because it seems everytime I warn folks about those roms, somebody will chime in how well it works for them. Which is perfectly fine but in reality its a crap shoot and cm7,aosp,miui may work for some, but fry others sd cards.
Just wondering, JJHunter, do you use the sdcard that came with the phone or did you buy a new one?

The SD card issue was due to a kernel change that was reverted. There is no SD card issue now.

Yes I know... but I still wont recomend those roms to new users for the simple fact they could easily flash the wrong version and bork a sd card.

Can't mount SD card?

I'm running pacman jellybean and everything was going well for the first day I ran it. But earlier today I got notifications saying that the SD card was disconnecting. Then I got a notification saying that the SD card is damaged. Now it won't mount. Is there anything I can do because I really don't want to erase everything.

Is your firmware up to date? I've heard of SD card issues in AOSP with GB firmware, and I don't know if it supports the old firmware patch properly.

I'm having the same issue - Running Meen Horse - Any ideas of fix would be great. I'm able to see my external sd - but not the internal.

Please kind sirs, please assist me...

I have flashed CWM correctly, I have done everything right. I have reset the phone many a time, and am not a stranger to ODIN. However, the Fascinate I'm working on WILL NOT RECOGNIZE ANY ICS zip! I know for a fact that it is not a bad zip, but when I try to flash it, (no matter build 1 or build 2) the phone says "E: Can't open /sdcard/<ICS package name here> (bad) Any responses are welcome! I have to return this phone by tomorrow, so I could REALLY use some help here! Thanks again!
EDIT: Just tried flashing the latest stable CM7.2, the exact same thing happened. Help is needed drastically.
Could be a number of things. it is recommended that a CLASS 6 or higher SD card be used. Also known problems with the USB cable. Try using different ones. Are you by chance following Droidstyles Guide ? Located in GENERAL section, it is known as THE GUIDE for our fascinate. Read it through and follow it to the letter.
Peace

to add on: you may need to format your sd card, but I wouldn't go that drastic yet. try what ice mentioned first
I am using the correct CWM, and I have tried using every guide I can find. (including the one you mentioned) I don't know how to check whether or not my SD is CLASS 6. I have not tried flashing the files from internal SD, however. I own 2 SDs and am not opposed to formatting one of them. The other is full of valuable data, but if necessary I can back it up.
Should say right on card what class. I'd try your other cards, or buy new.
And like Z said, it could very well be that needs to be formatted.

Try a jellybean ROM ICS hates SD cards

Well the SDs do not have a class number on them. One of them has a little 2 in a partial circle, does that mean anything? And I think you have to use ICS build 1 coming from GB.

It means your SD card is a class 2 ROFL. And no you don't have to go to ICS coming from jellybean that was used when jellybean first cane out you haven't had to do that since 4.1.2 so now it causes nothing bit problems just go straight to gb

Oh, great! Is there internal, mountable in CWM storage? I'm pretty sure the Fascinate has 2 GB of internal memory, and CWM fixed for CM7 doesn't seem to recognize any flashable ROM packages from external SDs. So could I use build.prop to switch internal and external SDs, then flash the ROM from there? Will that work?

um, I'm not sure how much internal the fascinate has, but my vibrant blows it out the water
EDIT: okay ado maybe the fascinate does have 2GB of storage... then I wonder why it doesn't feel like it's utilized

Yeah, this isn't actually MY fascinate, it's my friend's. I just want to know if build.prop hacks could take effect outside of Android, and still do their desired effect in CWM. (For instance, switching internal and external SDs)

Also, after root and flashing of stock ROM through ODIN, the Fascinate has FCs on basically every app. (including google play services) It's VERy annoying. Any fixes? (besides reinstalling the app)

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
yeah, but make sure it's a hardware issue first
Your SD is crap, try another or use Perseus (It have timeout increased)
change the rom, if your SD is crap, remove it and buy a high performance one, change rom to stock to see the diffrence if the problem persists...

well, this has happened to me after I dropped the phone - so I swapped the slot. so it might be hardware after all, the chance is small though

What card are you using and is it backed up. This may just be a one off, but it could be a sign that your card is on the verge of failing, classic sign of failure with SanDisk cards, whatever back it up and hope.
