Hey there guys.
I have been using my phone everyday with no problems - currently using CM7 by Mik.
Anyways, I put some songs into my SD Card through USB yesterday and I went on with my day, no problems.
I got home, and I notice the SD card was removed. I reset my phone but now my phone does not recognize the SD card.
I tried the SD card on my sister's Android phone and it works perfectly. I can't even get the USB connection to work.
How do I go about fixing this? I tried getting in through the Android SDK, still no luck. I tried mounting via recovery and no such luck also.
Any help would be great, thanks.
just flash the rom which u are using (u said mik's rom) from recovery without formatting system and without any data or cache wipe, i think that should work.
Your data will be as it is but u need to flash again the zip files u flashed after rom install previously (like google apps zip file from mik, ap2sd zip file, any theme zip file etc. whatever u flashed previously).

Tried mounting it from recovery. No luck :|
Is it a problem with the phone itself?
Did it gave an error or nothing happened
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
use a different sd card and see if u r able to flash from recovery
Nothing happened, just says "no such directory" or SD card cannot be found.
No error or anything.
I put my SD card into my sister's Android and it still works. I used her SD card and it doesn't work on my phone but it works on hers.
I think it's the ROM or the phone itself. How do I go about flashing the phone through the PC without an SD card? Or how do I flash a ROM from recovery without SD card?

I think u should flash stock rom from lgmdp.
follow "cook your custom rom" till step 2
cook your custom rom- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901417
(disable lg modem before start)
Now start lgmdp and
select port
select image folder the created "stockrom" folder
Now uncheck "recovery image" option (to have custom recovery retained)
then download.
(donot disconnect untill it shows download complete)
Note: i didnot test it , but i think it should work.

Hi, as I said before, I've already tried sticking other SD cards in my phone. They aren't being read, but when I try to put them into other phones, it works OK.

Hey there, I'll look into this, though I doubt I'll be doing all of this since I'm not very proficient in doing all those commands and whatnot :|
Anyone else have any other ideas before I start doing mad scientist stuff to my phone?
Looking for a rom I can install via Odin . Needs to be a tar file but I cant seem to find one at the moment......any pointers very welcome.
Thanks

You don't have custom recovery working to flash .zip?
Can flash stock firmware found on Intratech thread. Will lose root, but can flash CF-root kernel from Chainfire thread to get root again...... All with Odin.

...quite new to all this. I have installed a rom on the sd disk but when I go to install zip from sd card can't see it !!
If its ok could you explain your method ....as Im a bit of a thicko !!
thanks
sr
Depending on what version of cwm 4 or 5 you have will make a slight difference but essentially these process.
Place the Rom zip on your internal sdcard not the removable external sdcard.
Navigate to flash .zip from internal sdcard in recovery. If you are changing versions if android or. 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 or flashing between different Roms, maybe best to factory reset, wipe.cache, and wipe dalvik (in advanced) from within recovery. Immediately flash ROM, and then reboot, give it a few minutes. You will lose your data etc, but will help to ensure you don't get boot loops or force closes etc

...for the prompt reply, problem is I can only get rom onto the external sd card. Can't see a way of getting it onto the internal one !
Guess this looks like my evenings planned with the wife moaning at me!
sr
Boot up. Connect USB to PC and transfer the file.... If your still not sure if your putting it in the correct "sdcard", power off and remove extrenal sdcard.
You could also connect cable to PC in recovery, then "mount USB storage",. Transfer file to USB storage, "unmount", then flash from internal sdcard (look for the USB storage within).USB storage is just a sub directory of the internal sdcard.

Me again..
I have the phone working but the PC will not recognise and storage on the phone which means I can't update etc. Do you have any ideas of what is needed to fix this. At the moment the only thing that I can use is Odin. I did have another rom on the sd card but cant open it.
Sorry about this !!
Steve
Have you installed Samsung Kies? You need the diverts from that installed to PC. Just remember that you need to close kies before using Odin.
Edit :You have selected connect from the phone (maybe have notification on phone status bar?)

Phew....
Managed to open another rom zip and installed, things back to normal (and before the wife gets home) !
One last question .....I install roms on the internal sd as I can never see them when installed on the external sd, guess I am missing something simple ?
Thanks for your help this afternoon

Hey Guys,
Can anyone please help me?
I had a search but cant really find any direct answers,
I had an S2 before, never had any problems, rooting it flashing ROM etc etc,
Just got an S3,
When i first flashed a CWM on it, i think it was version 6.0?
I had no SD card in at the time, after flashing it went to a CWM recovery screen and had a count down from 20 seconds saying "Trying to mount SD Card"...of course there was none inside it at the time , so the timer went to 0 and then reboot the phone and it was back to the launcher, I inserted an SD card, downloaded a ROM,
I then , reboot to recovery, now when i try to use my SD card to install the file it says "Cant mount SD Card",
Tried to go to advanced and mount, still no luck?
I tried to flash 6.1.4 touch recovery, same thing,
i went back to 5.5 same thing,
SD card works fine when i am in windows, or when the phone is on and file explorer,
I just flashed a Stock ROM through Odin and tried again, still no luck,
Someone,
Please help
Thanks

Use the Sammy rom, go to settings/storage and format the sdcard using the phone. Then it should mount using CWM.
Never format/repartition your sdcard using your computer again, shrink it if you want extra space for something else (I shrank it for creating a "Linux swap" to use yank555 swap mod so telling you just in case.).

hello, plz tell me how to fix this. my s2 not accessing internal storage both from file manager and from pc. but it shows in recovery. currently am on carbon 4.3. i tried many file manager but every one shows only external sd card and system ,and internal folder is empty. plz tell me how to fix this. otherwise i should flash it to stock rom.
did complete wipe and cleared cache ,dalvik cache tried other custom rom, Nothing worked
thanks
It does seem like a problem with the ROM to me, but you could try to access it with linux instead of Windows/OSX just to see if that makes a difference. If it were me, since you have already flashed a ROM, try another custom ROM, maybe CM stable to keep it predictable. See if that fixes the problem. Or just re-download your current ROM and re-flash, you never know.

I tried different ROMs but same problem there. In file manager the internal SD card is empty and in recovery there it is.
I even can't open gallery or camera and can't download from browser. It gives error of " no internal SD card".

And also can't use Bluetooth because while receiving files it save it to internal SD card , and give error while receiving files. When there are no internal SD card accessible how it can save it.
And also I used GalaxSim unlock previously to unlock my phone, now it is giving error of sim lock, because the GalaxSim unlock files are save into Internal Memory and it can't be accessible so it giving sim lock error.

So in recovery you can see the internal storage but nowhere else? And you tried CM stable?

Hello Sir,
I Have Installed a Rooted Version Of VS98547a ROM vy xdabeb via twrp , but its not showing Internal Storage , Plz Help Me.
Thank You.
Hi everyone,
I have troubles since 4 days with my i9100 (under CM11)
Since 4 days, I cannot access anymore to the internal memory (sdcard0)
My SD Card works (sdcard1). It's even recognized by my computer when I plug my smartphone by USB.
However, the intern card (sdcard0) is not showed anymore when I plug my smartphone by USB to my computer.
I can't access to the Gallery. The message "no external storage available" appears.
With Es File Explorer, for sdcard0, the app shows the following message "SD card unmounted".
However, in the Settings, when I go to Storage, internal storage is recognized… it show only applications, some cached datas and available storage (total space 1,97Gb ; Available 672 Mb).
In the Recovery, I tried "mount /storage/sdcard0" but it shows : "Error mounting /storage/sdcard0 !"
Does the internal storage is down ?
My smartphone is still functional, I can update applications and install new ones, etc. So I have difficulties to think that the internal storage is fully down.
However, I cannot update CyanogenMod with CMUpdater (I tried a restoration of a Nandroid backup but it crashed… probably because of this internal storage problem) which normally writes on sdcard0.
My version of CM is actually 11-20141024-Nightly-i9100 (it was more recent before the restauration which have strangely crashed… but works!)
What can I do ?
Thanks for your help
P.S : I tried many forums (particularly french forums because I'm French… sorry if I made mistakes on my post) but nobody answered me.

Try flashing back to stock rom and see what happens. If it doesnt help, use a pit file to repartition your phone's memory.
I too have the same problem with the internal memory. My s2 is running CM11 right now. And suddenly it have problem with it MMC. Apps like camera, Bluetooth, and downloading files from the Internet seem impossible to receive any file coz I set it stored in the MMC.. Then I checked the setting > storage, the memory card was there. It detects it's total memory. My internal memory however have shrank to total of 1.6 GB with free memory 300 MB. Are you using i9100G? Have you restore the stock?

Hi, thanks for your help. What do you mean by "pit file" ? Is there a tutorial somewhere for this operation ?
I really don't think that going back to a stock rom will change anything. It can't be a problem with CM. It's installed on my smartphone since one or two years and I never had any problem.
I've flashed with the recent Omni ROM but it seems that doesn't help at all

I've found the solution. Under the setting > storage. There are two section, internal and SD card. Choose the option to erase SD card on the internal memory.

Scroll down until you see a file named 'stock 2gb' then download that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...es/mod-partition-internal-memory-app-t2538947 Pit files provide information so that you can repartition your phone just incase the worst happens to your phones. It can be used for your problem too. Then, in odin, locate the pit file for the pit selection then tick repartition, oh, btw, make sure you have stock rom with you so you will need to flash back to stock rom by selecting the files under the respective categories. Once that's all done, you can start flashing.

That could work too. But my method better! Doing this will not properly format the internal sd card while my method formats the internal sd card.
Sry.. It's my mistake that I am not giving the full details of the situation. I just realize that for the apps partition, it is set by 2 GB by default. What am I experienced was the SD section for internal memory gone missing. I tried by erasing the SD card. Anyhow, it has been Ok for a while. I'll try to repartition by using your method. Seems that 2 GB is very easy to full

Ok, I just found a solution for my problem, and without formatting anything.
For those who have this problem, you can try it, there are no risk in theory.
I plugged my Android smartphone on my PC.
I went into the Recovery and choose the 'Mount and storage' menu.
Here, I used the 'Mount USB Storage' option. My PC started to recognize the smartphone and I was able to access to my 2memories (sdcard0 and sdcard1).
I made a right click on the sdcard0 and in the 'tools' menu and choose to perform a basic scandisk...
It found errors and correct them.
After that, i made a reboot and my memory was back.
Thank you gsstudios for your help. My solution is not academic (using Windows to repair my smartphone) but it worked !

Ah, so it was a problem with the file system of your sd card, glad that your problem was resolved.
I had the same problem and using the Erase SD card option in the Storage menu worked for me!
Luckily I had already made a complete back-up recently so only a few new files were lost. If I hadn't though, I would have kept looking for a better solution.
Thanks!
Sorry, what do you mean "went to recovery mode?" Means recovery mode in phone (volume up+home+power) or somewhere or an app in pc?
