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.

I've looked at the other threads on this but, none seem to match my problem.
I've a 16 GB MicroSD card in my S2. S2 is not-rooted running stock ROM.
This card used to mount ok. It no longer will.
In Settings->Storage, space reported is unavailable (because it's not mounted).
I can run Format SD Card option which returns quickly.
Running Mount SD Card, it's says Mount in Progress but it never completes.
If I put the card into an SD card reader, it looks fine. FAT32 formatted card, with approx 16GB available.
Any ideas?

I had similar problems with two other sd cards.
First running without any problem, and then suddenly the message appeared that the sd card is empty or not connected.
In both cases, the sd card was broken.
But in my cases, the sd card could not be used in a USB adapter by PC either.
As the sd cards were nearly new, I could make a warranty replacement and now I have got a card which works fine for about two months.
You can check this, by switching the sd card into another phone.
And use another sd card in your phone.
If the other card will work in your phone and your sd card will have issues in the other phone too, replace the broken sd card.
Good luck !
P.S.: You should format the sd card with your phone and not by your PC.
Other MicroSD Card works

Thanks for the response. I should have said that another 4GB card worked in the phone ok. This did lead me to think it was a card problem. However, he fact it works via a PC indicates otherwise.
Will try it in another phone.
Just throw it away?
Has anyone seen this before i.e. not working in phone but ok in SD reader?
If so, did you manage to resurrect it? Or is it time to throw it out?

Try this. Settings>Application>Development
Check usb debugging.
Connect phone to pc. In notification bar click "usb connected" message, and click on "connect usb storage" button. You won't see the sd card mounted in pc!
Now disconnect phone, reboot. It might mount
See if there's any luck.
Since you're not rooted, solutions are quite limited in numbers

Tried disconnecting and rebooting in 2 senses of the word
1. Hitting the disconnect usb storage button on screen
2. unplugging the usb cable.
Unfortunately, neither worked.
i'm having this problem now both on internal and external sdcard... it wont even mount on recovery... i'll try see if i can this done.. Windows damages everything.. i made a cleanup of the sdcard and a format..
Hey guys, I'm gonna try to explain this in most detail. Yesterday spontaneously my External MicroSD card couldn't be detected by my phone(Vibrant SGH-T959). First I thought a simple reboot would work although it failed. Second I have tried unmounting the SD card, and putting it back in and also didn't work. I decided to switch from my JellyBean 4.1.1 ROM back to Schimera v2.2 ICS. I thought the rom was causing the problem, although the problem continued on ICS. I have tried turning my phone off, taking the SD card and all of those combinations and none of them worked. I tried turning on and off USB debugging mode which didn't fix the problem either. I tried using the Computer Management to see if it detected at least my SD card and it didn't. The only way my SD card was actually red when I used a MicroSD adapter. I formatted the card from there and tried all of the solutions again and nothing worked aswell. So now I know that the SD card is working fine but just none being detected by phone or through the USB cable. So I decided to go into my settings > storage to find that my internal storage is only 1.85GB, my model is the 16GB version and I checked previously before. As I scroll down I realize there is something called USB Storage right underneath it and it says 12.67GB which is supposed to be the amount for the Internal SD card. This part is why I'm horribly confused. Also underneath that there is the SD Card and it only displays one button which says Mount SD Card which is disabled when I put the SD card in or out. I tried the option on top for Erase SD Card and it didn't work either. I looked through quite a few threads on this forum trying the ways I mentioned in this thread and they didn't work. Any help is highly appreciated. Thank you
*NEW* I just installed DoubleTwist from the android Play market and when I went into settings and tapped on storage this is what came up: Internal (0.0GB) Memory Card (12.8GB) For one, my phone has 16GB internal storage, My memory card is only 8 GB. *NEW*
*NEW TEST* I tried putting my microSD card into my sister device and it worked on hers, I tried putting her SD card into my vibrant and it didn't read it either!*NEW TEST*
Your 1.85 is the part of your 16gb Vibrant that us partitioned for apps. The 12.67gb is your internal SD. And your other setting should be your external SD or emmc card.
When you say you can't see your external are you looking at external and it isn't showing anything with a file explorer? Try looking in your emmc folder. Have you tried another card?

Thanks for clearing that up for me, and I can't access my card in the file explorer either. I don't have an EMMC folder and I tried going into recovery to "mount emmc" but it just gave me an error. Also I did not try another card because I don't have one lying around.. Plus when I rebooted my phone in the notification menu it says Checking SD card for errors and then it disappears. There is no message once that one leaves.

Lately my phone will not recognize the SD card, I'm running the VipeROM on my phone. I have tried a different MicroSD card, same thing, and both cards appear fine when put in the laptop. This has just started recently, any suggestions? I'm hoping to not have to reflash the ROM if possible.
Thanks-Dan
Anybody?
Maybe you have to manually mount it. Go to settings then scroll down and click on storage. You will see your internal storage and external storage. Mount the external storage if not already mounted. If thats not the case then your rezound is going bad. I dont think it has anything to do with the rom but if you want, just do a back up and wipe and re install rom.
Hello, I have a Jiayu G4S phone (1GB RAM/4GB ROM version). It has android 4.2.2 and by default it uses only external SD micro card for saving files (photos, music, ebboks, downloads from internet,...). Internal memory is used for installing apps, but that can be changed to external memory. I used to have SD micro card inserted and everthing worked ok. But then my SD card reader stopped recognizing SD card. I sent phone back for repair, but they did not repair it (although they say they did). I tried different cards in phone, but they don't work. Some are not recognized at all, some are recognized with message, that SD card is corrupted and I should try formatting. When I try formatting, nothing happens. I tried formatting SD cards outside phone - with windows, and some other programs. I tried with brand new card. I tried MTK Eingineer Mode - SD card test...but it says there is no card in phone. Is there anything else I could do to fix that myself?
Because if I send it back again I will have to be without phone for another month or two and I can't do that...
I was also thinking - is there a possibility I could make my phone save files to internal memory instead of external SD card?
Hi, I formatted my SanDisk 16gb card as Internal Storage for my Android Marshmallow 6.0 Moto G 2nd Gen XT1068 *rooted* device. So far so good, the problem is that my phone was failing really bad yesterday not sure why, it won't move files from internal to the sd card so it was running out of space and the whole system started failing. I was not able to backup my SD card neither, because my developer options were blocked so no USB debugging available., I tried everything I found online, from stoping removing cache from Media internal app and some others, etc, and nothing worked.
So I decided to restore my phone to stock.
I did this and now it works fine, however it does not recognize my SD card (because it was formatted as internal storage with the "previous" device) so now I have a 16gb SD Card (4GB occupied) inaccessible to make a backup.
Is there a way to gain access to this SD card so I can move out all the files I've in there so I can format it again as internal storage?
Any information missing please ask,
Thanks in advance,
Denis.
