I flashed Beans build 11 with pbj kernel. In that I picked the option to swap internal and external sd cards. Now I cant change wallpapers and some of my apps are telling me "sd card required for this application"
I would prefer to just fix this rather than re-flashing the rom again without the sd card swap.
I have been searching the forums for hours and can normally find a way to resolve any issue, but not this time.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Just wipe caches and flash. Takes a couple minutes.

Flash the rom again?
Any other solution?

Yes flash the ROM with only wiping caches. You won't have to set everything up again and it should get rid of the swap

:good:back to normal.
Is it possible to swap your sd without these kind of issues?

I assume so because I've never seen them mentioned, but I don't use swap. Did you clean flash the ROM the first time?

Yeah clean flash coming from beans 10.

I have been reading the forums and lurking for a while and have noticed a lot of devs stating that their roms may wipe the SD card. I have a million old SD cards laying around from previous devices and what-not. Is there any reason why I can't use an SD card for just Rom flashing, that way there is no other data to lose? Then when the Rom is loaded, put in my other SDcard...? It also eliminates the possibility of accidentally having a stray PH98 in the event you forgot to delete before going to bootloader...
That's what I do. I have a spare SanDisk 16 gig that I use solely for Rom flashing

You could do that, but I believe the devs mean the internal sd. I've never had my external sd card wiped by flashing a rom.

Neither have I. Only when I went through unlocking it.

I've never had anything wiped that I didn't tell it to while flashing either but I find it easier to keep all my roms on one card. And that I don't accidentally wipe all my files if I'm not paying attention.

happened to me once before by flashing a rom.
Hey all!
I recently had downloaded the ROM GO Airborn, put it on my SD from my laptop, then flashed it through recovery. The problem I had was that it doesnt show any music/photos that are on the SD card. I thought that I had accidently wiped the SD card, but when I go into storage in settings and Astro form the market, it shows that the card is mounted and I can browse it.
I thought it would of been the ROM, so I flashed Eternity ROM after a clean wipe. I am having the same problem. Settings-->Storage says that I have 30GB total and 9GB remaining, and ASTRO can browse the SD card, its all still there. I just cant seem to access it. Any help?
Are you using superwipe before flashing the roms and are you using clockworkmod recovery to flash it?

superwipe no, clockwork yes.
That's what I thought. Go to the eternity forums and go to the FAQ and get super wipe from there. You should also download 4ext recovery because cwm is causing way to many issues here lately.
Sent from my ADR6400 using Tapatalk 2
Will that fix the SD card issue?
I also read recently that cwm has been placing a .no media folder on the SD card and by deleting it some issues may be solved. Worth a shot I guess. My only other suggestion would be to backup the contents and reformat the SD card.
Sent from my ADR6400 using Tapatalk 2
@disconnecktie I love you, man. Haha. The .nomedia issue is exactly what it was. I performed a ".nomedia" search and deleted all of those files. What recovery would you suggest flashing? TWRP is what I am going to flash right now. Anything better available? Thank you!!!
4ext for the win bro. Its the first app I paid for and worth every penny. It is free too but it is so good I had to buy it.

Hey guys, I am rooted/unlocked running Jelly'Beans' Build 11 (going to build 12 tonight) and for some reason I can access my SD card while the phone is running normally, but when I boot to recovery it says I cannot mount the external SD to flash a file.
I get around this by just using the internal storage, but this is not ideal. Can anyone give me an explanation of why this might be happening, or maybe tell me how to fix it? Thanks!
either a bad sd card or you need to format the card to fat32.

If it were bad or formatted improperly, would I still be able to access and use it under normal phone conditions? I use it to save my pictures to, and I can access it from the phones file browser as well as when it is plugged into a pc.

cwm recovery does not recognize exfat. you will have move your files to a pc then format the card to fat32 if you want cwm to recognize it.

I tried switching to TWRP, but under the supported devices in CWM it only lists the Note 2 HSPA. and I am obviously on VZW. Is this ok?

Just download goo manager. Open the app, hit the menu key and select install recovery. It will download the right one

This method worked for me. I am on a Galaxy S4 SGH m919. I stumbled upon this posting by doing a search. I was having a problem where my SD card is working but it wouldn't mount in recovery, so I couldn't restore back ups, of flash anything. I only had this problem after I had flashed Google Edition 4.3. I still don't know exactly what caused it, but this recovery TWRP did the trick. Thank you so much for helping me out!!
update 2: It appears that GApps is the root cause. Flashing any CM-based ROM does not cause any problem until GApps is flashed. Any ideas?
update 1: going to try to use stock kernel to extract my internal sd data first, followed by a total wipe later.
SGS3 died on me yesterday after flashing AOKP nightly update (15-06-2013 version). Been trying to get it back up with various other ROMs to no effect.
Additional symptom seem to be that the internal SD-card is mostly blanked out when accessing from inside ROM, but all files present in recovery.
Mostly it shuts down a few minutes after booting up and everytime there's a write access on the internal memory. External SD-card is mostly invisible too.
Formatted every single partition possible except sd-card from within CWM recovery and re-flashed everything from kernel to ROM (mostly AOKP and CM10.1 though)
Any thoughts/ideas?
In regards to your data, see the 4.2 sdcard link in my signature.
Restarts? No idea at this stage

I have a T-mobile HTC Amaze running Android Revolution with 4ext recovery. Recently my phone lost cell signal and would not pick it up again. I tried wiping data/cache/dalvik and reinstalling the Android Revolution ROM but the problem is still there. After reinstalling the ROM twice the wifi won't turn on and just says ERROR. I tried going back into 4ext and now it started to give me an error "can't mount /internal_sdcard" when trying to choose zip from sdcard.
Anyone has any idea what's going on?
Thanks

Ok dude I think I know what's going on, then outlook doesn't look too bright either. It looks like your internal sd became corrupted and now it can't mount. So back up your internal sd, reformat, and put your stuff back in and see if it helps.
If that doesn't help I guess you just had a bad luck Brian moment. This internal sd problem happened to me twice already.
For the wifi error, that's probably because you dirty flashed ARHD over a perfectly fond ARHD. You should have just airplane mod'd it for a while or rebooted. When you wipe the cache don't dirty flash the entire rom for one simple problem. When you reboot after you wipe the cache, it just takes a minute to rebuild the 'blocks. '

Well when I connect the phone via usb, it shows up on my computer but none of the files I had show up in the drive, including the zip for the ROM. I most likely lost all my stuff but that's okay. How do I reformat my internal sd at this point?
I tried to do a clean install of ARHD by doing a complete format inside 4ext, maybe something went wrong along the way. So If I can get my internal sd to work, can I format data/cache/dalvik and reinstall the rom? will that fix the problem?
Thanks for your help

Ok the way to format the internal sd is in 4ext. I remember it being somewhere in the wipe section. Choose format sd then internal sd.
Here's a tip when flashing, use format all partitions except sd. This is better than wiping cache then dalvik then data. This method clears of everything but it doesn't touch your sd. This is how to comoletely clean install roms without errors in flashing.
And if after you flash it and see no bars, T-mobile is probably having a bad connection or doing renovations to their towers or something.

Thanks a lot for your help man. Formatting the internal sd worked. Installed ARHD and everything works perfectly. I'll remember to format all partitions except sd from now on.

No, i don't. I think the cause is the quality of internal not good, and during use that fone, i format it so much.

The amaze has a wacky internal sd I think, in general. Mine got corrupted twice in its life in my ownership. Who knows what journeys my Amaze had been through with the previous owner(s).
