I have a 1 gig sd card I know 1 gig lol. It was in a company phone I got anyways. it worked fine for past 13 months but now i cant mount it. phone does not recognize it and recovery comes up failed when I try to access it through it. you think its a bad sd card or bad sd card reader in phone? I do not have another phone to test the card in. If/When I buy a new card and it still does not recognize it how do I go about loading a rom? As of right now know back ups and did a System refresh stuck on start up screen on phone . All of this started after I did the sdcard mod on one of the roms beans I think.
Thanks

I would wager a bad SD card. Those things are known to fail.

If you are talking about the SD card swap mod..... It would require much much more room than 1gig. That might be your entire problem.
Can you take the SD card to a computer via a card reader (you might need an adapter to make it full size) and format it? If you can just load up beans19 on it and flash it. It should work if that's the issue. just don't try the SD swap with less than an 8gig SD card next time

Sorry I know this is a stupid question but I searched and couldn't find it. All my stuff automatically downloads to my MOGUL itself and it never asks me if I want to save to my SD card.....so how do I do that? Then if I go to memory>storage card> it says Total Storage Card Memory: Not Installed.......? Thanks
are u sure u have an sd card and if u do how much gigs
Either your SD card is not formatted or it is not seated properly and not recognized by the device...
Try removing and reinserting the card.
If that doesn't solve it try reformating the card. I use Fat32 simply for the ease of being able to stick it into any computer when I need to. (I have an 8 Gig so I have a folder with some often used files and Vista and XP drivers for the phone in case I need to sync with a new computer.

LOL.....yea dude! I took it out to see what size it was when u asked me that question. It is a 512 MB SanDisk
I am pretty sure it is recognizing it now but I haven't had the chance to try to download any programs yet so I dont know if there will be an option to out it onto the SD card or not........will it ask me or do I have to move it to the storage card after I download it? Thanks
nvm, I got it figured out.
Hello all!
I'm not able to post in the development forum (since I'm a noob with less than 10 posts ).
I just moved from the 182 CM7 Nightly on my Vibrant to the Passion ICS v10.
Everything is running pretty darn smooth and thing I thought i'd be missing from CM7 are not really bothering me.
The issue I'm having is with my 8GB external SD card. I'm getting the standard SD Card is empty of has an unrecognizable filesys.
1. I've tried formatting through Storage menu, recovery menu, blackberry and an adapter.
2. I've tried all the tricks on the forums.
The build is not recognizing the card for some reason. I plug the card into my Blackberry and its fine.
I took the 2GB card from the blackberry and put it in the vibrant and it immediately recognized it and mounted w/o a hitch.
Is there a size issue/bug w/ the external SD?
Have you tried taking the SD card and plugging it into your computer, and then formatting it from there?
EDIT: I just tried it with my 8GB microSD card. It looks like mine's not being recognized either.
I'm not running ICS, but maybe it just doesn't support that much on an SD? Just throwing out ideas and maybes.
That would be really silly. Not supporting 8GB SD card .
Kept trying a few more tricks. Still have the same issue.
Also, when I added the 2GB the internal unmounted. Have to go in and manually mount the internal after external mounts (just the first time).
This is a just a heads up.

Omg yes i have the same issue, but ive looked into it some more..
I have 2 128mb, a 2gb (that came with the phone) and a 4gb and 8gb sdhc of the same brand... the 8gb and one of the 128mb dont get seen (and the 128s are identical) ive tried formatting in fat16 and fat 32 and ntfs and even mac os x journaled lol and nothing worked... i then returned to cm7 and formatted from there... went back to ics passion v9.2 and then v10 and cm9 and ssame exact symptoms... so idk.. its not because of sdHC, it doesnt sseem to be filesystem and the 128mb thing just really blows my mind..
Hope we get an answer

might be something specific to your card...im on ics 16 gb sd card working perfectly. loving ics !
I have a 16gig Ext SD card and I am having the same issue. So frustrating!
im using an 8gb and it works just find. but to acces the files on the SDcard i look under "emmc" or "mnt/emmc" or "home/emmc" (depending on which file browser you use).

Obviously this question is turning to be a bug. There is confirmation from several users with the same problem.
I have a 4Gb micro sd Patriot and seems to be OK.
You have to look into emmc folder.
Wow , thanks for the awesome pointers that I should look into EMMC folder (sarcasm btw).
The bug is about the SD CARD NOT BEING MOUNTED and reporting as blank and having a non-supported filesystem.
The card in question works fine on the PC and 2 other phones one of the Vibrant with stock ROM.
I only want to help.
I understand your point but we want to exclude options. Can you try another SD cards in this same phone?

I'm also having this problem. Have tried multiple cards in multiple format options. None of them mount, it just gives me a "Damaged SD card" error notification when I try to mount manually. Freaking sucks I can't use my 32gb card anymore.

Have you tried smaller ones like the original 2gb that came with the phone? It should work for you
Btw, just general info, I fixed my 128mb with SD formatter program so that just leaves my 8gb unworking.. and sdformatter had no effect on the 8 gb

I can see the files and open them but for an example, when trying to play them in the music player (google music or winamp) I can't.

Hello,
Me and my co-workers have exactly the same Phone GT-i9100, we bought exactly the same Micro SDCard, to the same provider, and Im the only one that the phone is not recognizing the SDCard. This is what I get:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/52817124/SC20120124-143033.png
We switched SDCards and again I´m the only on that the phone does not recognize the SDCard, and then I tried with an used one (4GB) my partner was using before and it worked, so Its not like my phone does not recognize ANY SDCards!!! So I dont understand how come the NEW 32SDCard is not working ONLY FOR.
Any help would be appreciated!!! Thanks in advance,
Does it work on your pc ... if not your card is probably dud

May be trying this check list:
Mount SD card
Format SD cad>Mount SD Card
Format SD cad in the other phone or PC>Mount SD Card
Try Stability Test V2.3 in the other phone
Try SD Tools V2.4 in the other phone
Dust inside the SD socket?
Have you tried formatting in your phone?
Could be you got unlucky, and got a faulty card reader in your phone. But also possible the sd card just needs to be formatted.
What kind of sd card is it? And is it formatted already?

It won´t Mount to the Phone, when I hit "Mount" it would keep on saying Mounting but it doesn´t... When I connect the phone (with the SDCard in it) to the PC the SDCard is not shown. However, it does if its in my friend´s phone.....
Im thinking it could be that my phone is rooted, unlike my friend´s. So I think I could take it back to its original ROM and try, if it doesnt work then take it to warranty cuz the SDcards work just fine in my other friend phone (which is the same one as mine, bought it together, same day, same company).

Yes it is formatted, did it twice in my friend´s phone. I dont think its an sd card problem, its more like a feature/option thing, which I dont get to see any solution but to flash back to stock rom the phone.

Right; I mentioned the card as a POSSIBILITY, but that another possibility is that the card READER in your phone is jacked up. Root should NOT have any affect in your phone's ability to read an sd card. I have root on my phone, and it reads my class 10 16gb sd card just fine. But it may be worth it to try flashing back to stock to see if that helps. Otherwise, your only option left after that is warranty.

The thing is that it can read a 4GB micro sd that my other friend was using before, thats why I think it has something to do with my phone not reading that specific type of SDCard for some reason. I think of going back to stock because Root is the only difference between mine and my friends phone/MicroSDCard.
I´ll let you guys know my results in case someone else finds the same problem.

Sounds like it is having difficulty reading SDHC (High Capacity) cards. I think standard SD cards can get up to 8GB, so I'm betting your 4GB card is a standard micro SD, and not an SDHC. SDHC was created for 16 and 32GB.

Ok discard software related problem:
1- Flash original ROM-Kernel and try,
2- Then discard hardware related problem(in the phone and the SD card side)
Phone side;apply an electronic spray cleaner in the socket an SD Card. Use an anti-static wrist strap
3- SD card side; use software tools i recommended before in several SD cards.
Just to let u guys know, it was a hardware problem. I had to get a new phone.

I have been trying to flash CWM so I can install CM7. I rooted this month ago and just wanted to try something different, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. I can't flash the SD cards.
I downloaded the zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798439. That seemed straight forward. I first tried imaging a 16gb SD card because I had it sitting around. The image worked, but the card was now 69 MB. Yes, MB.
The booting worked and got me to the CWM menu, but I can't copy the CM7 file onto an SD card that is only 69MB, so it's useless.
I went to Best Buy and figured that since the instructions called for an 8GB SD card, I would try that instead of the 16. I also used a different computer. It did the exact same thing. The card is pretty dead... reformatting lets me reformat a 69MB card.
So as you can see, I'm not really even to the problem of CM7, I just can't use that program to get CWM going on the SD card.
-Windows XP
-Dynex Reader
-SanDisk cards (a 16 and 8gb)
-That Win32DiskImager
Any suggestions? I'm going to buy yet another card, but I really can't afford to keep tossing away these SD cards. Should I do it through the nook? Do I need Windows 7? Is that Win32diskimager junk?
Thanks for your help.
Haha my goodness man, stop buying SD cards! They aren't 69MB forever. The image you wrote to the card creates a 69MB partition. The rest of the space is still on the card. To get the space back, you'll need to download MiniTool Partition Wizard on your PC and do some repartitioning. Don't worry, it's really easy, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
If I read correctly, your real issue is that you cannot fit the CM7 ROM onto your SD card after it becomes 69MB. There's an easy fix. Just copy the ROM onto the internal storage partition (/mnt/media) of your actual NT. Then when you boot into CWM, choose the option to install zip from internal SD.
Awesome! Thank you, good sir. I now have CM7... so I guess I'll go see how that works.
You can reformat the sdcard(s) now either on windows or on the tablet itself (go to storage, select unmount, then reformat).
You'll get back all your space. I'd suggest flashing clockwordmod recovery to internal after doing so.

No problem. Glad to hear you got everything sorted out now. Let us know if you need help with your microSD cards.
I downloaded and used Gparted to delete both partitions from the SD card, took me less than 5 minutes after I got the .iso burnt to CD.
It has been reported that off brand, class10 cards are troublesome. There has been many good reports for : Sandisk, class 4.
I was in ES file explorer trying to move files to my external sd card and all of the sudden I get an error saying task failed. I can't delete or copy anything to my external sd card now. It's a 64 gb Class 10 Sandisk Ultra micro sd card. I formatted it to Fat 32 a long time ago. I don't know what's going on. And now all of a sudden Root browser in Root Explorer doesn't work either. I can't write anything on my phone. I even reverted back to stock android to see if it was the rom problem and that wasn't it either. I'm completely lost in the dark now.
I'm running CM12 Beta on my G3 if that means anything.
Try getting into it via twrp I had a problem like that a while back and I tried twrp and it did work I ended up wiping via twrp. You can also try putting it in your computer and partitioning it. I my self repartitioned it and just deleted the current one and made a new one. It seems that some roms or apps ect can cause the software in the sd card to become corrupted also try mounting and unmounting it before you delete anything.
If you are rooted you need to download SDfix from the play store. It says kit kat but works with 5.0.X fine. SD write access is still limited in lollipop unless the app creator allows SD access. If you were on zv6 on a custom rom it was probably baked in.

Yeah I tried formatting it and everything. The micro sd card is stuck in read only mode. I think it's dead. I put the micro sd card back into my S4 and my S4 couldn't write to it either. I ran CHKDSK on command prompt and it said that there's a corrupt file on the mciro sd card but it can't repair it because the micro sd card is stuck in read only mode. I tried to format it usng the SDFormatter and nothing is working. I used google and people are saying that when a micro sd card goes into read only mode it means that it's about to die. :c sucks cause it was 64gb and I've only had it for a year.
I had 2 SanDisk 64GB cards go bad soon after I formatted them to FAT32. I don't know why, but it happened. SanDisk could not explain it, but they were really good about replacing the cards.

I would contact SanDisk about it but I got the SD card in October of 2013 from BestBuy as a birthday present and I don't have the original packaging or receipt so I don't have proof of purchase so I doubt I'd be able to get the micro sd card replaced.

Chat with SanDisk. IIRC, they didn't ask me for a receipt, just where and when the card was purchased. It has a lifetime warranty, they will replace it and will even send you a free shipping label.
I have the same problem, I was copying files to my external sd card from internal and all of a sudden it said "moving files failed" and then nothing on my sd card would show up, though on storage information it shows that it's mostly full. But all the files are unreachable until I reboot then everything is fine while I'm listening to music, but if I stop for a while or try to move anything it messes up again. Anyone know of a fix?
I'm on lollipop, but the sd fix app would not do anything for me... Running Danvdh's Google Play Edition Rom
