Mtd roms sometimes don't get along with some SD cards. You can try formatting in cwm. If you have a spare card try formatting and using that one.
Always use proper mounting, un mounting methods.

Mine is doing the same thing.
ok so in simple words i should...?
when you're formatting are you doing a full erase or a quick format?
you might try a full erase, check for bad sectors and what not, use easeus partiton manager, or gparted, of the sd card formatter.
Miui ate my samsung card about a month ago and it was unrecoverable.
What brand of sd card are you having problems with? stock samsung, sandisk , or kingston?
The samsung cards are known to be shotty to begin with.

my fascinate came with a san disk?
I have a 32gb San disk speed 4 that gets corrupted by the end of the day (works fine on touch wiz base roms). My Samsung 16gb micro sd seems to be the running fine on MIUI and CM7, never had a problem with it so I doubt its the brand

Got a question, is it the kernel that's causing this? Been using jt's kernel cause its the most stable, can anyone verify that's using any other kernels.

i doing the format by tapping on it in the pop-up at the status bar which i get when i restart my phone (after the reboot i get the pop-up that said my sd card is corrupted n i need to format it so i can use it again...). should i do it differently? and i have a sandisk sd card but it worked actually really fine when i bought it, so i dunno what happened...
so i need to do an hard format?
I had the same problem when I updated to Miui i can't remember the exact build i think week 90? Stock Samsung 16 gb... I was running stock kernel which I believe to be Jt's no? now I'm reduced to a 2bg until I get money to buy yet another card -.-
What kind of error notifications did you guys get?
If you got one saying something like bad sd card
All you need to do is unmount it, and remove it off the phone
Then reboot, and pop it back in

How did you format yours? Through the phone or using the computer? Damn formatting through the computer takes 30 min for me. I have not tried formatting through the phone yet cause I heard its one of the guarantees of frying the sd cards on EC09 days, not sure if this roms frying abilities is the same.
Btw it seem to only damage my 32GB San disk, my stock Samsung sd card is surviving MTD roms

thru the phone
Hi Guys,
I recently got a ATT S2 and the first thing I tried to do is root it. I followed this guide.
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II_%28AT%26T%29:_Full_Update_Guide
I successfully installed CWM, but I cannot flash a rom using my SD card. Whenever I click install from internal sd card, I get a mounting issue.
(e: Can't mount /emmc/)
I am using the INTERNAL Sd card mounting.
Also, I cannot connect to ODIN or SuperOneClick. FOr some reason I can only use Heimdall.exe to install the CWM.
I am totally out of energy guys. I am ready to give up and stick to stock.
BTW. my phone is not bricked, I can turn it on fine.
The sd card is also not broken; I have two of them that I tried, both the same issue.
You flash probably the cm kernel. If your phone works do a master reset or factory reset from settings menu that should bring you back to stock. If not maybe this will help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301682 is a bit old but should get you the proper kernel instale

I already know that I flashed the CWM. I want to know why I can't recognize my SD card so i can change a rom.
Choose Install from SD. Not from internal sd.
The mount points are off. Samsung mounts the external inside of /sdcard instead of at the root of the filesystem. The how-tos here were infinitely more helpful to me than cyanogen's, but that was months ago.

My Rezound just started doing this in the past two days. Stock storage under settings can not see my external SD Card. No apps installed on the phone can see it either. Root explorer is the same. Funny thing is that stock Recovery can see it. I can flash RUUs. I can boot to AmonRa and its file explorer can see it and things flash fine. Anyone ever had this problem? I have factory reset in recovery...reflashed last ota RUU.....still have the same problem. The SD card works fine in my wife's phone.

Does it give you the option to format it from within your rom? Or does it just say unavailable? Do you have another sd card to test?

Does it with any SD card I put in.....says unavailable and is grayed out?

Have you tried doing right after doing an ruu like stock unrooted?
And did you s off? That can corrupt external sd cards but that doesn't explain other sd cards that weren't used during the process.
I hate to jump to conclusions but it sounds like a hardware malfunction. Maybe time for a warranty replacement

I've been S-off for quite some time. I have gotten it to read the card a couple of times today. I was able to restore some apps with titanium. When I plugged the phone in to charge ...I saw a quick popup....." SD Card unexpectedly removed". When it starts and the External Card is in Settings the phone works normally. But when the SD Card disappears all of the Apps that draw from or write to the External SD Card behave Strangely. It is very near stock now. It is frustrating that it works very well when set up excluding the external SD Card. I do have alot of things on the SD Card that I use a lot.....Guess I'll call support
Can you pull your SD Card and plug it into a computer? Copy over everything to a folder then reformat Card and put in phone, then if works copy everything back over. If still doesn't work I would suggest flashing the stock image since it will basically reset everything. Good luck.
I would keep working with people on here, those kinds of issues and support usually equal face palm or headache.
For reason unknown...when I restarted this morning the ext_SD mounted fine this morning and has been working fine since 5am. We'll see if everything makes it thru the day...lol

If it happens again, go into storage and select mount sd card. If it is mounted already, unmount then mount. Happens to me occasionally.

Well finally just started over....Wiped and reflashed phone. Then copied and reformatted SD Card, copied back to card ......everything is fine so far. We'll see how it goes tomorrow.
similar problem
I am having a similar problem. I just installed Neo's RAGE 1.9 rom, inverted Gapps, and flashed the boot.img since I am S-ON. Now I can't get to my ext SD once the phone boots up. Similar to manbat above, I can browse it in AmonRa, and even flash from it there, but after booting up the phone I get the "damaged SD card" message, and I can't access it. I've re-flashed the rom 3 times, and also the boot.img...even re-downloaded the rom, inverted gapps and tried all over again - but nothing changed :/ If anyone can help me out on this it'd be greatly appreciated!
You will have to copy your SD Card to computer. Since your phone is reading the SD Card as damaged you will have to reformat on your card on the computer and then copy your information back to your card. This is what worked for me.

Hi there. I have a few questions // concerns.
First off, I just went from Scott's ROM to the (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ RAGE ROM found here. I followed the instructions on how to install as I'm S-ON (3x wipe all, flash rom, hboot image.boot, etc.) and everything was working great. Now it is telling me that my SD card is damaged -- click to reformat. I did that and it still had the error. I attached the device to my computer as a disc drive and I noticed I ONLY saw the SD card (no HTC Internal storage like I used to on Scotts).
I did what any logical man would do -- I removed the SD card and restarted the phone. The phone still says that the SD card is damage...
What gives?
Astro//ES Explorer said emmc was empty -- when I went to write a folder to it it didn't allow me.
I'm hoping this is something easy to fix/explain. Please help me out if you can.
When I go in to Recovery and hit USB-MS and toggle internal SD card (while the device is plugged in to my computer) I can see the contents of HTC Storage where I couldn't before.
But there's no way to keep this active, is there? Recovery only says press power to disable and return to menu and that's the only button that works.

There is. Once you have that mounted, and after you've backed up that data to your PC, use the PC to format the drive you mounted to FAT32. That should fix the problem.

Sorry to hear that. At this point all you can do is flash back to sense to fix the mount issue. Then try aosp again

It's NP -- flashing back to sense is easy, but how do you fix the mount issue?
it sounds like a firmware issues. did you go from GB to ICS?
Actually Neo is right. I had the same issue on that rom. Flashing back to a sense rom then going into recovery mounting usb formatting as fat32, then unmount, wipe everything basically giving me a fresh start then reflashing a AOSP fixed that issue for me
I had the same issue. Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093449&highlight=emmc
Wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing the same issue I am.
Was using my phone and my Samsung 64GB class 10 Micro Sdcard "ejected" although it was still in the phone. It had been working fine for a week. I manually ejected and placed it back in but it will not read. I get the "Scanning/Preparing SD card" Message but it always says unavailable. Thinking that my card crapped out on my, I put a brand new Kingston class 10 64 GB sd card but experiencing the same results. Oddly enough, I have an old Class 10 Transcend 8GB card that will read. I am running the stock OS-Unlocked Boot/Rooted/S-off. Only mods I have done are flashing the released HTC kernel that is R/W. (Dont know if I need to reflash the one that came with the phone), and flashed the SD card write fix posted in this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2700310
Anyone know where I can get the stock ATT kernel that may have the correct drivers for ext sd? Any suggestions?
Copy what you have on the sdcard to computer and format fat32 then retry card in phone

Hey, thanks for the reply.
I have a SD card reader on my laptop and it recognized the card just fine but if I put the card in the phone and plug in the phone to computer via USB, it will NOT recognize/see the card.
Im pretty sure it is a software issue. Does anyone have access or a link to the stock ATT kernel/boot.img?? I'd like to troubleshoot but forgot to make a back up before I flashed the R/W kernel released here. Thanks.
Doesnt matter if the sdcard reader sees it fine in windows, your more than likely going from windows to android, try what I suggested. If the card is not formatted @fat32 it will not be read in phone...

Maybe I forgot to mention it but both cards are FAT32 formatted. Also, the samsung card was working just fine for a week before these issues started happening.
Im still searching for the stock att kernel.
Ok did you reformat and try them again?

Went to try and reformat them again and am getting some weird results.
If i plug them directly into the computer with an adapter and use SDFormat to format them, then the M8 will read the cards? However, it only reads half the amount of memory (30gb) and I do not have an option within SDFormat to change the size. Since M8 now reads the card, I went to format it within the storage settings and once that completes, it no longer recognizes the card...?? Not sure how that is possible unless the phone is reformatting the card to a format it does not recognize..?
Use sdcard reader on laptop format fat32,set it to default size...it varies on different cards, 4 kb 8kb 16kb etc...

Thanks for the continued assistance. I have done this but still only have Half of the advertised memory. When I first installed it out of the box, it worked and showed full memory (62gb). Also, the default windows formatting tool will render the card unreadable by the M8 so im using the program called SDFormatter. Seems like I'm running in circles so I guess I'll just deal with half the memory for now. At least it works.

Use above instructions to remove all partitions from sd card. Insert into phone it will prompt you about it being damaged and ask if you want to format it. Answer yes.
If you still continue to have issues, it is most likely a hardware issue.

Thank you guys for the help!
I tried using the above fix (disk part) but it didnt even recognize the device. L0ng story short. I was able to use BOOTICE to reformat my KINGSTON Sd card to 60 GB but my samsung only reads 30 (even though it is advertised as 64) I read that when you reformat some Samsung cards, there is a protected area that most generic formatting utilities can overwrite and render the card to half capacity. Not sure if that's the case but oh well. Got it the other card to work. Thanks so much guys! Now if I can figure out why the phone isn't turning on now.....
