[Q] sd card- enlightments - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
something is not so clear to me- whem someone says:"sd card" of:"flash from sd card" does he refer to the internal or external sd card?
when I'm going to:"choose file from sd card" in the recovery, it opens my external sd card and every ROM I used was flashed from the external sd card and I never had problems.
Lately I noticed that every time I'm baching up my phone, I get a message in the recovery:"no ex-card found" and:"skipping on ex-card" or something..
I'm starting to think that I'm doing something wrong. Can anyone clarify this?
Thanks!

I think they aren't the same thing.

obviously they're not the same

Blank SD card... again.

Hi!
I've got a big problem and the thing is I don't know if that's with my phone or SD card.
To begin with, I have class 4 EMTEC SD Card (4 GB). I bought it about 3 days ago so it's quite new. My rom is Mik-os' CM7 and the problem is that every single time I copy something to or from that card and something bad happens (e.g. my PC loses connection with phone when copying files, or I tap "Turn off USB connection" on my phone too early) it results in "Blank SD Card" error and I must partition card every single time it happens. As you know, it can be quite frustrating, as I have most of my apps on SD card.
From my description, you may think that this is clearly my SD card's fault. But, the same thing happened earlier with my 2 GB SD card that came with my phone. I couldn't delete nor save anything on it using android's USB function, I had to do everything using recovery menu. And my my ROM that time was LOL 1.4.2.
So, my question is - is that my phone's fault or it's rather my SD card?
Also I have one bonus question - is there any way to backup apps installed on SD card? (But I'm not talking about TitaniumBackup, what I mean is if I can copy any folder to the computer, and when the "Blank SD card" error appears, just paste it to SD card and have all apps again.)

Well I have this problem with Void.Forever ROM. Do not format it, just reboot your phone after this issue
Well, I tried rebooting, I tried to remove and insert the SD card again, but it didn't help and I always end up getting "Blank SD Card".
Its a bad sdcard. I had this problem on stock froyo too. Please replace your sdcard.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App
The card that comes with the phone is pure junk, so the experience with that is irrelevant. Other than that, use USB card reader in PC. If it is dead, just RMA it.
As for the backup - the apps are in .android_secure folder. Nowever, this is not really a solution, you would have to backup the entire SD card, lots of other application data are scattered across all different directories on SD. Worse yet, if you backup the phone via recovery, it gets lost.
try using panasonic sd formatter and format ur sdcard create ext partition if u have atleast class 4 orelse dont and see if the prob persist

my "SD card" is unavailable? [View] (PROBLEM SOLVED DISREGARD)

I just went through the rooting process here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881748
But when I get to the part where I have to flash the superuser zip file, my "SD card" is unavailable. It was my understanding that even if you don't have an SD card slot, you still have a section of memory that is considered to be the SD card. But for some reason, I think my SD card storage has been combined with the regular storage, so I can't flash the zip from boostrap because it says I don't have an SD card to do it from. Anyone have any ideas?
*EDIT* Sorry disregard this, I had no idea part of the backplate could be taken off an a micro SD card be put in.

Did u change anything? Kernel, Rom, Firmware version?
U can try to copy all data from sd card to PC, format it and then copy data back to sd card.
Maybe this will fix it. If not it seems to be a prob with sd card itself (Hardware)
CHEERS
yeah I had used many kernels ROMS .etc etc but reverted back everything to stock and unrooted

no external storage

Flashed this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2235446
I am getting this error of No external storage available on all the apps that require internal storage e.g. In Gallery, it says no external storage available, same in camera, explorer e.t.c
Have I done something wrong?
Do you have an sd card?
I do have an sd card, currently, the player only works with the sd card.
somehow the sd card is being treated as the internal sd card? this is completely weird. As soon as I take out the sd card, it fails to recognize the internal card.

Find "vold.fstab. (system/etc)" open it, and change "/mnt/sdcard/sdcard1" to "/mnt/sdcard/sdcard0."

1 can you go setting--- memory-- check what is available and send the scren shoot.
2 when you wipe in recovery no any strange message at the screen? like can't read or open mmcblk0p 15....
I got this same kind of problem but i dont have and external Sd, but i want to save the pictures on the phone it self is there a way to change this? Because when i open the camera ap it says, no external memory.
I had the same issue
I had the same issue.
Go into recovery mode and try to mount emmc. That's what my external SD was renamed.
It was fine when I loaded the ROM but it flaked out after I loaded a different kernel.
I would recommend using X-plore from the Play Store to navigate your files. It's the best way to explore, move etc.
Try format SD-card:
Go to CWM -> mounts and storage -> format sdcard

Can't save attachment to sd card

When trying to download files to my phone,
Im getting the message "Cant save attachment to SD card".
The funny thing is, when I take out my transcend sd card, the problem is solved.
Putting back the sd card, problem is back.
I'm running Omega v23.
Any ideas?
Formatted sd card. Problem solved at least for now.
