Hi all. I recently upgraded to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 stock firmware and realized that my external SD card isnt mounted (even though it is inserted into my phone). I have installed several other stock firmwares from Sammobile, also tried CyanogenMod custom ROM, but external SD card isnt mounted on all of them. Is there a fix? Thanks in advance
Your sd card might be bricked. You can try formatting it with your computer via usb readers, but you will probably have to search other threads with sd card bricks, they might have a solution for you.

Hi Xda Members,
I have tried many versions of Froyo now for a friends Android X10i.
Now all the installs have been successful, running BB54, various different versions, Cyanogen, Achotjan?, FreeX10 and currently XShinyBread.
Each installed perfectly fine, all rooted blah blah. HOWEVER.
Achotjan, this rom would never find a signal no matter how much I tried BUT the SD Card stayed mounted.
The rest of the versions, all installed great, ran perfectly, BUT!, no SD Card mount. Now I've restarted/rebooted so many times into XRecovery, manually "Mounted SD Card" and system/cache/data parts... But as soon as phone reboots into Android again it still does not keep the SD Card mounted.
Anyone have ANY ideas???
A few things to remember before replying.
This SD Card is NOT corrupted.
This SD Card DOES enumerate fine when Mounted to PC via XRecovery, and I am able to copy copious amounts of data.
This SD Card DOES work with that Achotjan version of Froyo but like I said, no signal.
This SD Card DOES work when reverted back to Stock SE.
This SD Card has been formatted multiple times via XRecovery, Android AND Windows.
Hope this narrows it down for you, its giving me a fecking headache.

I think I've figured out watch this space.
Nope didn't fix it.
What I did was find another SD Card (One that hadn't been used before, put that in the phone, and it detected it fine.) I then tried to copy all the data from 1 SD Card to the so-called "Un-Mountable" SD Card but that theory didn't work.
The spare SD Card that was detected was a 2gb, this one is the standard 8gb that comes with it.
Hi.
I have SGS2, with resurrection jelly beans ROM.
I purchased a new 32GB SD card. but I'm not able to mount it to the device.
When I connect the USB, it appears on my computer as a separate storage beside the internal one,
and I can access it with ROOt Explorer.
I heard formatting it inside the device will help, but in settings-->Storage I do not have the option to format the SD card (despite f that it is detected in the settings). Any help is appreciated
Flash stock ICS, format card, flash RR JB.
Early build ROMS
JB ROMs are still in early builds (beta). You can expect few issues from them -camera lags and SD card support are common.
I'm holding the line for stable ROMs.

Hi Guys,
my problem is as follows:
My Galaxy S2 is unable to mount the external SD card. if I force it by clicking the button in the settings menu, it says preparing to mount SD card for a split second and then nothing happens....
First of all, I searched this forum for other posts. I found a few which seem to have kind of the same issue, but none of them helped me.
If there is a post with exactly the same issue, please point me to it!
I updated from CM9 to CM10 2 days ago, since exactly that moment my phone isn't able to mount the SD card anymore.
I tried to reflash CM10. I did do a full wipe, also a dalvik and a cache wipe. I tried another kernel (sihya).
The SD card as itself still works, if my S2 is attached to my PC, I'm able to read and write to the SD card.
I flashed CM10 and the Kernel from the external SD card. I tried to format the SD card (fat32), still nothing.
I think my last chance is to try out another SD card.
apprechiate any help!

try to back up your current rom to a different sd card and then flash back to the old rom to see if the old sd card works....the rom may have a bug with mounting a sd card...if all else fails just flash back to old rom and wait till its fixed...i had that issue with a rom for the inspire
Hi everyone
Here my short story:
Flashed cm10 to try it out.
Got a notification that my external sd card is damaged
Googled and found out that the problem is that cm10 uses another format then stock SGS 3 Firmware
Decided that this is a reason to stick with stock 4.1.1
Flashed back, but SD card is still damaged
Is there a way to use the SD card on stock rom without formating it and loose all the data?
Ok so I have never heard of this one before and I have tried looking for an answer.
My S2 works perfect when it has no micro sd inserted but the moment I put in a micro sd card the phone will boot ok but then it will not recognize any of the phone external storage (the 16gb bit) I get an mtp application has stopped error and I cannot access anything with any file managers not internal storage, external storage, or micro sd. The micro sd doesn't even show up and the rest show all directories as empty. I have this problem exactly the same if I flash a custom rom or stock rom rooted or unrooted it makes no difference. Anyone have any ideas? I have tried different sd cards but they all cause the same problem. I have tried reformatting the sd card also.
Flash dorimanx kernel version for the ROM you're on and test. Also formatting int sd card may help with this. Bk up you're data. format it and test.
