Insert SD card to use camera - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Everytime I want to use my camera it tells me my phone doesn't have an SD card inserted (which I do, and it's fully functional)
This problem originally occurred after flashing UltimaROM when my internal was swapped with my external.
The ROM used to be great but it was ridiculously buggy and was almost at an unusable state for me.
I've flashed LiquidSmooth now and everything is great, apart from this issue.
I've looked on Google and people with similar issues are saying it's corrupt but it still functions fine.
Also, when uninstalling apps I get this message (it still uninstalls though)
I have attached a picture using Tapatalk so not sure on how the picture will be displayed.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

As for SD, I would recommend formatting the card (backup first) and do a full wipe (megawipe?) to clear down completely before reflashing your rom.

I don't have the framework installer setting in my "Interface" tab. Also, even with the external sd card dismounted the camera doesn't work. Or could this be an internal memory problem?

It sounds like a permissions issue and a full wipe and format before reflash I suspect will fix it.

I have tried that, it didn't work
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Full wipe didn't work? Try another rom. If not, look for the camera update thread if not, return 100% stock if not, send for repair

I don't know why but I think the emulated folder is the problem, I think this was created when my internal and external was swapped around as I don't remember it being there before.
I've tried another camera app and it takes pictures but doesn't save them

Emulated comes from when you go to 4.2.2
Megawipe should have deleted everything on your internal sd.....
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4

Oops, I guess I haven't megawiped then. Got the correct zip now off these forums that does it for me. Can I go ahead and do the Megawipe despite being rooted on a custom ROM?
Thanks

Yes you can. It just wipes per the thread. One of them formats your internal sd and thats what you want. Backup to pc first though.

Its also worth doing the one that formats system too. So have a rom and titanium backup on external sd card. You're going to have to reflash if you do this one
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4

Stupid question, was just making sure. Guess it's the same as wiping everything before flashing a new ROM
Everything now works great, thank you so much! Also nice to have a fresh start on my internal memory.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

It is the same except via custom recovery it doesn't wipe internal sd...
Did you use the factory reset zip or did you use another too?

Idea for Loading Roms.

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.

Superwipe

Hi there I ran superwipe and and it wiped my external SDcard and now when I add the rom onto the external card it wont pick it up any ideas?
I get a message saying "no files found"
I've trued reformatting the SD card to FAT32 and dragged the ROM back onto the SD card and I still get the same message.
Can you see anything on Ext SD via My Files ??

I used the version that is packaged along with Android HD revolution and I know its not meant to but it did I have nothing on my ext SD any-more. I read that you should run superwipe inside of armoa but on my old DHD i use to run it in CWM and thats how I did it today I don't know if that will help.
Im pulling my hair out right now

Just checked the script right now..there is nothing in it which will mount your extsdcard..you can flash the script in CWM also but you need to have a ROM to install after it is done as it clears your /system partition also...
by the way..try taking out the sdcard..try unmounting and remounting your extsdcard...format it using the phone once..
check if it is recognized in another phone....

Yeah I know I'm not sure how it happened. I've tried reformatting the card once as a quick wipe and again as a full wipe I have also tried un-mounting and re-mounting the SD card in CWM. I will try the SD in another device and report back.
That damn superwipe causes nothing but problems, why the hell do people use it.:banghead:
I see no point in wiping your internal SD just to flash a damn ROM. Stupid.

Superwipe is no longer in use (unless users use it themselves), it is now part of the ARHD Aroma installer and wipes certain parts of the internal sdcrad. No longer the whole internal sdcard.

Oh really
Most people in that thread recommends super wipe
From mike
Super Wipe
--- This script will erase and format your data (including Internal SD Card), system and cache partition ---
Download "Super Wipe" script & place it on your SD card (optionally if coming from earlier version of my ROM, obligatory if coming from stock or other custom ROM)
[*]Boot your phone in recovery mode (vol up + home + power)
[*]In main menu, select "install zip from sdcard"
[*]Select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of "Super Wipe" script

And it is no problem if you know what it does. The external sd card however is untouched. If some users would read past the first two lines in the OP many probs could be avoided

No problem?, what's the point?
Since normal wipe in cwm wipes the data i can't understand the point of wiping the entirely sdcard?

Accidental thanks!
It serves no purpose, in cwm you can wipe data and caches, format system and you're good to go, wiping sdcard does NOTHING for the running of the ROM.
If you d/l GTA 3 or asphalt and use superwipe then guess what, you need to download 1-2gb of data again! For what?!?!?
Its absolutely pointless, pointless I say.

Nobody forced you to do anything. You chose to do this yourself. Now learn from it and move on

The thing that gets me with superwipe is that it is essentially designed for people with no clue to assist a clean installation............BUT.....if you have no clue you shouldn't be flashing Roms.....simples!

I'm not saying it was anything to do with the ADHDR Team i always recommend hd revo roms as I spent almost all the time with my desire hd using it. I'm just confused why my external card got wiped when it is only meant to wipe internal and now my external card wont accept new files.

however if you did a full wipe all saved data are gone

just copy the files to your external SD an copy them back after you flashed the 4.2 ROM ...

[Q] SD Card won't mount in recovery

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.

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!!

deleted everything by accident verizon note 2

i was trying to install jelly beans build 16 and i accidently deleted everything from internal and external memory cards. i have a nandroid that i put on the sd card and put it back into my phone but when i try to reboot from twrp it says "no os installed do you wish to proceed". i only have wifi available for about another hour or so please help me. my note 2 is my only form of communication.
So you had a nan on your computer you out in an sd card then restored and still get that message? Was it a full backup or just data? You could just download aROM and flash to get phone back up

I was in the process of installing a rom and I cleared data from recovery and I deleted including internal and external storage so I had no os to flash.
