Hello,
I am trying to remount my SD Card, so I could fix the "Couldn't Install on USB Storage or SD Card" error on the playstore.
But the problem is that when I try to unmount it on Settings > Storage, options are greyed out and I cannot press it.
So if I scroll down on the storage settings and I go to the SD CARD section, it shows the Total Space which is 1.84GB, and available space, which is also 1.84GB. Doesn't that mean my SD is in fact working correctly? The only option I see is Mount SD Card. But that option is grayed out and I can't press on it.
I have tried formatting the SD card from my computer to FAT32. Still same problem.
I can also put movies, music etc onto the SD Card, and yes they work.
Now i'm just confused on why I can't remount my SD Card.
Any ideas?
thanks

Okay thanks I will try this, but does this method format my SD Card and USB Storage?
Something that says "Fixing", i always think it might format

Okay, so I tried the steps, and no errors were found...
But when I go to Settings > Storage, my USB Storage has been detected as a Internal Storage. So now it says I have two internal storage, and no SD Card and USB Storage.
Before I tried the steps, I had 1 internal and 1 usb storage

Before when I move the installed apps using ap2sd or appmonster by default it used to move to the internal USB Storage(11GB) of Galaxy S2. I recently did a wipe re-flash of ROM and after that when I move the installed apps- by default its going to the external SD card I have installed which is 8GB. Now the internal storage is not used at all. Is there anyway I can fix this issue without going for another reflash? Any help is highly appreciated!

Nope it doesn't... That's exactly what the problem is... Unable to move apps to the internal USB (SD) memory... It looks for an external SD card instead and gives an error...

I think I'm having the same problem.
Only noticed it this morning when I tried to download a new app (existing update fine) and it failed, stating that it was unable to save to USB storage. I also can't mount USB storage in CWM recovery mode.
Did you or anyone else find a solution?
Well it appears that my internal storage is knackered.
Booted into CWM and tried to 'mount USB storage', but am greeted with 'E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory).
If factory reset and flashing a stock ROM is necessary, then I can do that. But, if the storage is inaccessible, am I even able to do that? Would opting to 'Erase USB Storage' in the settings>storage menu be of any use?
sameproblem here...
ok i solved the problem...
i write an Answer Threat
I had something similar when I installed a ROM with an older CWM. I lost my SD card but could access it from the PC. I copied a backup over to the internal memory and recovered.
how about just unmount the external SD card then try to install again?
Unable to move apps to internal usb storage
I am also facing the same issue.Somebody plz let me know any workaround for moving apps to Internal USB storage. Under settings>application manager> there is an option to move apps to external sd card only. Is it possible to install/move apps to internal usb storage (around 11.5 GB). Please help.
Phone - Galaxy s2 (At&t sgh i777)
ROM - Shostock3 rom (android 4.1.2)
I have mounted an external sd card and using link2sd to move apps to it. One thing I noticed that with sd card mounted, when I move apps to external sd card, some part of the app moves to the usb storage and also the app size increases after doing so. However, still there is no direct way of moving/installing apps to usb storage without an external sd card.

I am running CM7 Alpha 3. It suddenly said "Damaged SD Card" and I may need to reformat it. webOS can use it without problem. I also connect it to windows and do a disk check there. However I still can't mount the SD card partition in CM7. Any idea?
OK I format SD card thing and Android still won't read it, saying the SD card is damaged. Help?

I think your SOL and have to reinstall an android build.
This is a bug that happens when you have more than 50 apps installed on the sdcard.
You need to goto .android_secure and delete a few files to get under 50. I have also heard that if you goto manage applications you could remove a few apps that are installed on the sdcard.
Hi everyone,
I'm running CM7 Atrix CM Ba2tF non nightly build. I migrated over from gingerbread 2.3.6 and I'm unable to read my micro sd card when connected to the usb.
I've searched and followed the instructions telling me to go in to cm7 application settings and choose 'use internal storage' but this doesn't resolve the issue at all.
I don't want to have to switch back to gingerbread but I've been searching and found no solution that works. Please advise.

Hello.
You need to scroll down your notification bar, select the USB notification and select "Memory card access", by default it's set to charge only and many people over look that.
What you did with the option to use internal storage is unrelated to this, It simply changes the mount points for the internal and external SD cards.
Thanks for the response. I had forgot to mention that I've done that as well, the only drive that shows up as readable/writable is the internal flash of the phone, still making the external sd unreadable *shrug*

Can you access it from the phone it self? (Just making sure)
Have you partitioned the card via the recovery? Apps2sd or data2sd stuff, basicly is the file system on the card vfat or ext?
Can you access the card using a memory card reader?
Would you consider formatting the card (using the option in settings > storage) ?

I can access the card and its contents through file explorer. I did not partition the card through recovery, I had originally formatted it as fat32. I temporarily re-loaded the bell gingerbread recovery and the sd read just fine again.
I could reformat the card again, I'll just back up it's contents using my sd card reader.

If the format doesn't work then it could have been a bad flash. Backup everything like you were planning to and download the rom from the internet again just to be sure and re-flash.

Right now, my vibrant can't mount the internal sd so im not able to use the internal sd at all. I tried flashing another rom, like from ICS Passion>ICS Slim but it didn't do anything. If I go into recovery, I can see all my files that I put on the internal sd before my phone couldn't detect the internal SD. I screwed the internal sd up because one of my apps weren't working right, and i deleted it using root browser. Afterwards, my phone couldn't detect it. If i go into the build.prop, it shows nothing about the internal sd and it being mounted so im not sure what to do right now. Should I try formatting the SD? My computer doesn't detect the internal SD and will ADB help? Any help will be appreciated

Can you go in storage settings and hit Menu and hit Storage configuration and see what you have checked in there?
Well I'm in storage but when i hit menu there's nothing there. All I see is...my internal storage? I thought the SD card that you put in was your external storage?...Well thats 2GB, then its my usb storage that cant mount? Sorry, I guess its my usb storage thats the problem because my internal storage and my sd card show something. its just my USB storage thats unable to mount. If i press "Mount SD Card," then it says "preparing sd card" and then "calculates" my apps photos and everything. But after that it stops, and goes back to "Mount SD Card". Its like my phone doesn't know how to mount it now?

Perhaps try wiping and installing CM9. It just stopped when you removed an app? Which app?
Alright, I'll try cm9. I was deleting swype, and after i did that by root browser it didnt mount anymore.
Edit: I remember i did try flashing a cm9 nightlie before i tried flashing ics slim and i got the status 7 error
Maybe try odining back to stock and going back then?
That's difficult, because I can't go to download mode easily. If i use like terminal emulator and try to reboot to download mode, nothing happens. Yesterday, my phone fell out of my pocket and when that happened the battery fell out. I put the battery back in and pressed some stuff I suppose, and I got into download mode. Im not so sure how I did that though...

You can't get into download mode from the terminal right now. What you gotta do is shut down, hold down VOL-Up and VOL-Down at the same time while you plug in the USB.
Hello,
I have installed Cyanogenmod version 10.1 on my S2.
The rom looks good. I only have one problem. I can't access my external SD card.
When I go to system, storage I see there the SD, and how much of it is filled, but I can't access it in any way nor any installed sw.
I have a backup that is on my external SD, when I want to do restore, I can't since it will not see the external sd.
Can anyone please help me?

Go inside storage and there u will find the sdcard0 and sdcard1
For me it says sdcard (Internal sdcard), and the extsdcard (external sdcard). But you can find them in the Storage folder.
Happy New Year.
Thank you friends,
I might have not understood you all...when I go to file manager or mybackup-pro, I can't see the external sd card (nor the sw see's it, nor I with the file explorer).
Only when I got to system/storage I see that the device see's it (I can see the storage of the sd and how much is filled).
However, I can't access it, nor my sw installed.
Please let me know how you resolved it?
Thank you,

Ignore the built in file manager and install "File Manager" from Google Play and use that instead.
Same problem here.
Using another file manager will not solve the problem of Apollo crashing if you have music files on that external sd card.
The whole system can not access the card.
In Settings->Storage it say: SD Card -> Available XX GB
But there is no statistics about what is on there.
The whole system is not able to pick anything up from that sd card without having root access.
Why?!
Go to recovery and fix permissions.
Sent from my digital submersible hovercraft.
Thx, but that is not working, dude :/
Seems like Apollo was crashing because of one of my songs on the SD card.
The other situation is still there. No detailed information about the content of the external sd card in settings -> storage.
Maybe it is default behavior?!
Unable to see External SDCard
Via Win 7 PC, using USB, I can see 3 Drives on Motorola Droid Razr 1/Moto Drive 2/Internal Storage 3/External SDCard (32gb) I can see and access all files on any of these drives.
Once disconnected from USB, I go to Storage and CAN see the same above. However, when using any File Manager software, and not connected via USB, I can't even see the EXT. SD Card, and therefore can't access any files on that drive/card.
I recently received official JB pggicial OTA from Moto.
simpleeeeeee!
i too had this problem! galley, and music players were not able to access the data of memory card! i just put back all the data again after formatting the memory card! and it workedddddd... so simple!
