Hello,
ever since the official CM10.1 builds switched to KEXEC I've been trying to get it working properly. I'm able to flash it just fine but as it assumes the user has an SD card, which I don't I'm kinda screwed. I've swapped the mounts in the fstab file and that works in most cases, but pictures still wont show up in the gallery.
I will be able to get an SD card within the next month but I really don't want to use any stock based ROMs anymore
Anyways I'm wondering if anyone has a fix or can help me out
My RAZR is CDMA though Verizon if that helps. I would post in the original thread but I'm under 10 posts sadly

So I've been trying out several ICS roms to come to the same two problems: The SD card isn't recognized or usable.
Also, I just flashed the zipped CWM version of the new leak and I keep on getting "the process com.android.media" has stopped or something.
What do I do now... I'm really digging ICS but I'm also getting really frustrated because I am unable to use my camera or listen to music. I also get the above error a lot too.
Gotta love the early adopters.
works for me.....
Works for me, your SD card probably is corrupt.
spoon feed!!!!!!!

SD card works fine for me. In the TW builds (SHOstock and Mystic's Pride) and AOKP. One thing to note is in AOKP it moved from:
/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/
To:
/mnt/emmc/
Did you try the card in another phone?

well, the sd card works fine in Miui (not v4) and any other GB rom. it's just ICS roms that it doesn't work in.
Sorry I searched for about an hour but couldnt find anything similar to this exact question. I must be as good at searching as the government is at solving anything.
This is my buddy who has an SIII on verizon. (Im still rocking a G2).
End goal: Get JB (cyanogen) working so he can be rid of VZ's & samsung's annoying bloatware and rock his music (~50 GB... those audiophiles)
He tip toed into the waters and rooted the SIII a few weeks ago and installed official CM 10 (JB) downloaded here on xda. through odin.
He is getting ran around in circles because when he formats the card to FAT32 on his pc but then neither the PC or phone recognizes it when he puts in it. So he formatted it to exFAT but the phone gives him an "sd card damaged" message. exFAT is an issue b/c CM 10 needs FAT32 to install. He used Partition Magic (I think) to format to FAT32. SD Card Formatter to change back to exFAT but it doesnt allow FAT32 formatting for some reason. Hes formatted in the android as well to see if that helps (didnt), which is a pain to lose all the tunes.
The card is a legit sandisk purchased on amazon. Here.
Ive read recoveries dont support exfat, but found that under another phone, so I dont know it if holds true for his phone and/or this rom.
Basically will one of the JB roms support exFAT so he jam out?
Im not a super modder but have had some experience rooting and flashing roms on my G1 and G2.. Any help would be peachy
First off I want to say that this site is amazing, over the past week I have learned so much off here. So to all the moderators/developers "Here's to you Sirs"
My question involves the Liquid Smooth JB ROM. I love the ROM but Im having some issues. I did a lot of research before I even attempted to root my device and install anything (my wife actually told me not to lol) Anyways I rooted and installed the Clockwork recovery touch. Moved the ROM and Gapps onto my external SD, and installed both. Had no issues. After a few days I went to move some photos over to my SD and now my phone will not recognize my external SD. It doesnt show up in any of the explorer apps I have, nor will Clockwork recognize it. I tried to hook my phone to the computer to see if I could find it and it doesnt show up there either.
What do I need to do to get my phone to recognize an external SD again.
Also my 2nd not so important question is, does the liquidsmooth ROM support 4G LTE? Before I rooted my signal icon would show as either 4G or LTE, now it only shows H+. I did a speed test and it seems like Im getting the same 4G speed its just not showing as 4G. Is this something in the ROM or something with my phone and can it be fixed.
Thx in advance for any info regarding either of these issues.
Not sure bout the first but the second question...ur answer is H+ is the same thing as 4G...just different icon...not sure why it changed on you but its the same

It's a long shot ...but the above link is a complete ICS leak rom for this device.
The source link is older, but several other users have pushed this file and restored function to the sd card.
The image contains the full PIT file structure, baseband etcetera, and will restore the device to complete stock.
Flash counter excluded of course ...but that's easy.
You likely have partition damage in the #4 partition, which houses the other 4.
The device has 5 total, and something causes damage.
I personally think that CWM is doing the damage, but I can't prove it ...yet
If you are willing to take a long shot, then push the file by using Odin.
It should work...but as always....you do this at your own risk.....as STANDARD DISCLAIMERS APPLY....g
I am having this same issue. Except I am using AOKP JB and TWRP recovery. External SD worked fine for about the first month with AOKP. Then at random it started to dismount its self. I would get notifications of a bad or damaged SD card, or unexpected removal of SD card. Reformatted, didn't help.
That lasted a week or 2, then it stopped completely and just like OP, I can not locate my external sd by phone, or computer, its like the slot is empty. That was months ago. I kind of gave up on it.
I will probably be returning to stock and having the device replaced under warranty anyway, due to my USB charging port failing.
P.S. This is the 2nd time I have had a charging port on the note go bad and be replaced under warranty...
If I flash that ICS ROM and it restores the SD card can I then flash back to the JB ROM? I was kinda tired of ICS. I'll keep looking around but I may have to take it back to factory and reset flash counter so I can just get a new one. Would getting a new SD card work?

Test your SD card first, before doing any work on roms.
If you flash the ICS leak, it will take away root, and you will have to push CWM back too the device via Odin.
After that, you can flash any rom you wish.
This leaked build is a full build, and will restore stock function to the device anyway, (minus the flash counter) and is a good test when searching out partition problems etc.
But yes, do the SD card test first....g
I bought a used Amaze and put a formatted SD card (FAT32) in it and it worked fine.
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone (still s-on). It's running stock ICS ROM. (Not really needing to flash a custom ROM yet) The sd card was fine for a while.
Now, the Amaze cannot see the SD card. I reformatted it on my laptop again (FAT32) and it still cannot read it. However, in recovery (4EXT) it can read it. Also, my laptop can see the sd card.
I tested 2 other sd cards and the phone could not read those either and they all work on my other phone.
I took it to a repair shop since it seemed to be a hardware issue and they replaced the sd card slot and the phone still could not read the sd card.
The technicians said they have never seen anything like it. I can still use the phone without the sd card being functional but I'd like to have that working.
Any other suggestions?
Fixed the issue. Flashed Dark Glass One 0.2 ROM and the sd card and phone memory is now seen.

Hey tube, good looks on this issue. I'm having a similar problem with a Samsung Droid charge and just wanted to ask a couple questions.
- did you flash back to stock unrooted in between any of this?
- did the ROM have any other instability when you were on stock root?
- could either stock or custom recovery see the SD card when the OS couldnt?
Trying to draw some parallels between your and my situation, and wondering if I can learn anything. Thanks man!

"No External Storage Available"
Hi all,
First time poster here. I've done as much research as possible, tried multiple ROMs, tried ICS SD Binder, looked in multiple threads, and on multiple sites, but have yet to discover a resolution to my problem.
I'm on the HTC Amaze with TELUS being my provider. I have followed the steps to unlock/root the phone, and have tried CM10, Stock, and now using Dark Glass. The rom is working great, love it. The only problem is that I'm getting a message that says No External Storage Available when trying to use the camera. I find it strange that it won't recognize it since the music player works, and even a file manager such as ASTRO can locate the files on the SD card. I'm not even able to open the gallery as it can't find the SD card.
As noted above, I've tried a few different things, but still the problems persists. Any recommendations?
Thanks!

Make sure your SD card is formatted to FAT 32. Do the long formatting not the quick one. Backup your SD card before formatting.

You better format it in your custom recovery though..
Thanks for the reply guys. Unfortunately that hasn't fixed the problem.
I've flashed the stock ROM back, and the card works as normal.
Even when the SD wasn't working with the old ROM, it would still be picked up in recovery.
Any other ideas.

Please please help me, I know it sounds pathetic but im nearly in tears due to how massive an impact this is having on my life!! :'(
Im willing to genuinely pay £10 via paypal to anyone who can help me fix my phone, I promise.
My phone is an LG Gt540.
I bought it 2months ago new on stock rom.
I managed to workout how to root it, and then upgraded its rom a few times over the next few days.
I eventually reached CM 4.2.1 rom, which is the highest available and worked well.
The phone has only 133mb internal space though, and so I needed something to increase the storage (using my SD card's space).
And so after many days of trying stuff I managed to find Mounts2sd.
I partitioned my SD card correctly (using mini partition wizard), and mounts2sd was working fine.
However 1 app didn't work, and so like an idiot I decided to re-flash the entire rom, wipe the sd-card, and try to restart from fresh.
However I endedup formatting; the SDcard, The SD ext, the System, and formatting everything in the menu in recovery.
The phoned bricked and wouldn't turn on.
But I managed to put my SD card in my laptop, have my laptop detect it as a 'device', and so was able to place the ROM file onto the SD card that way.
I then re-booted into recovery, and re-installed the rom.
I thought id fixed the phone, but clearly I hadn't.
And for the last 2weeks since, everytime I try to re-install mounts2sd, it just totally screws up and freezes up the phone.
I partition the SD card correctly each time, however when checking it in recovery it says SD-ext wasn't ever mounting (error mounting SD-ext) was the exact message.
I then tried to re-install a lower level rom (2.3.4 I think it is) onto the phone,
to then re-install CM 4.2.1 afterwards hoping that that would fix it all,
however the phone now wont detect the SD card at all!! :'(
The only way I could access the SD card normally is put it in the phone, plug in usb cable, it wont ever detect the SD card as a folder on my laptop like C: or D:, but if I use Mobile2go software from wondershare I was able to connect to the phone and access the SD card from there, and transfer files onto it that way.
However I now cannot do that, since when I try the phone will turn on but has error msg flashup every second saying something like keyboard has stopped working, and so it wont load the Mobile2go software, and so I cant connect to the SD card to put the 4.2.1 rom onto it.
I have tried placing the SD card into the laptop through the side-slot thing, and can access it via mini-partition wizard when I do that.
However the SD card is not being detected at all when I click on My Computer, and so I cannot place any files onto it! :'(
I seriously am so close to crying now, this has already had me in tears, as its so upsetting!
Please please can someone help me.
To summarise the things I need to be able to do (in order I guess) are-
1. Find a way of getting my phone to recognise and mount the SD card.
2. Find a way of getting my phone/laptop to detect the SD card and allow files (CM 4.2.1 rom) to be placed onto it so I can install that back onto my phone.
3. Find a way of being able to get the SD-ext to be recognised and detected as being mounted by the phone so that I can use Mounts2sd.
If anyone can help me do all those 3 things I will be so truly grateful and will happily pay £10 to you via paypal as a sign of my gratitude.
As this is just distressing and upsetting me so much.
Thankyou
Jessica

Hello and thankyou for your reply.
How exactly do I use 'kdz' to flash back to the 1.6 stock rom though please?
As I don't know any of these technical terms at all.
Anyone have their efs folder contents completely disappear?
This happened to me with my Sprint galaxy S 5 and I get a pop up saying the device is in " Factory Mode " and I need to switch it to user for it to work properly. The phone will boot with a stock recovery only but is useless due to the Factory Mode, it disables WiFi and causes numerous other issues .
Would greatly appreciate any input on this. It is all over the internet but nothing but no legitimate fixes after 30+ hours of research
Look at LG Swift GT 540 forum on xda, there are all tutorials, Now I cant post link for it bu google it "LG gt540 xda"
