I am not using a memory card on my device. But now I have started getting a message
"Damaged phone storage"
Phone storage damaged. You may have to reformat it.
I have tried doing that but still keep getting the same message.
Please help.

Ok, first of all--I'm a total noob here, so please bare with me...my vibrant (stock 2.1--rooted, but I've been too "chicken" to try flashing any other ROMs...) has suddenly started giving me a message in the notif bar saying "internal sd card damaged" and then it will tell me "can not mount external sd card--mount point absent or incorrect"; I've tried connecting my phone to my pc with no luck--I've not tried to reformat my internal sd card yet, simply b/c I've got about 9gb full of photos/video of my toddler on there, and I just can't erase all of it without seeing if there is any way to recover them/fix my internal sd card, if that is even possible--? I've tried taking out the external card to see if I can connect pc to phone to access internal sd card and I still can't get it to work...please let me know what I need to do??
Please, anyone...?
I've been having trouble with the sd card in my new RAZR. Just this morning I noticed that I had a new notification "Blank SD Card - SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem."
If I clicked the notification it gave me the option to format but it would never format the card. I was still able to mount the drive to my pc so I made a backup of all the files on the card to my computer.
I did quite a bit of searching on the forum and eventually came across a post that said to try formatting the card with this utility:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/
After I did a quick format with SD Formatter 3.1 I then noticed a new notification "Damaged internal storage - Storage damaged. You may have to reformat it."
Now I'm still able to mount the sd card on my pc via the phone but windows doesn't recognize any disk in the drive. I get this error "There is no disk in drive X. Insert a disk, and then try again."
Has anyone had this issue? Any idea what causes it and how to resolve it? At this point, I have a full backup of the contents, so I'm only concerned with resolving the sd card issues and making the notifications disappear.
Thanks
I had this issue, removed as card and blew into the slot and replaced the card, haven't had it happen again so far.

Yeah, I've powered down the phone, removed the card, replaced it and powered back on but I still have the same errors.
Called Verizon and they told me to go to one of their stores to see if swapping out a new SD Card would fix it. Hopefully the problem doesn't happen again.
Stopped by the Verizon store and they swapped out a new SD card. The "Blank SD Card - SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem" error went away but I still had the "Damaged internal storage - Storage damaged. You may have to reformat it" error. This time it allowed me to format the internal storage.
So it turns out that the SD card was completely hosed and the external SD card got corrupted, but after the format was resolved.
I'm still not sure what caused this but I hope it's not something regular as I have had the phone less than a week.
Every time i got a problem with any external device, like sd card, I use this powerfull tool Aconis Disk Director. It has a lot of options that maybe solve you problem.
I've been seeing this too. How do they swap out the internal sd?
Im getting a strange error with my CM9, R5 Note that I've had for several weeks now. Whenever I put an SD card into the external expansion slot, I eventually get a "SIM card removed, please restart error". Im booted off the network till I restart and maybe get a couple of hours till I have to do it again.
I thought this was a problem with my SD card, but without any card in the expansion slot, I editted the fstab file to mount the internal SD card to "/mnt/sdcard" rather than "/mnt/emmc" and get the same thing.
Has anyone had any issues like this? Thanks.

Getting the same thing
Did this ever get fixed. I'm getting the random "SIM card removed" errors too. I had no problems until just this week, and I have had the phone for months. I do switch around my SIM card frequently, as I am trying to figure out the best way to get the cheapest service via VoIP, but never had a problem. It happens with ALL my SIMs now. So I know it is the phone.
I had to get my phone replaced by AT&T
Hi!
Today, I ran into problems with my SD card not being recognized. After booting, the process usually looks like this:
1. Displays "Preparing SD: Checking for errors" in the notification area, options to mount wither SD or internal storage are grayed out, "Unavailable".
2. No notification any more, internal storage is mounted. SD card shows an option to be mounted, but if it is activated, the storage manager hangs.
3. SD card isn't mounted, I get a notification that "SD Card is damaged. You may have to reformat it."
Each of these takes about 10-20 minutes to happen.
However, the SD is actually fine: If I open it in recovery, I can see everything is there and that there is no damage to it. Unfortunately, I have not found a way to access my data while in recovery, and I don't have a reader for a microSD card at hand. And I need that data to know if an assignment for my university is due tomorrow :\ So, any help?
Device is a Motorola Atrix, originally rooted, with CM7 (Neutrino ROM). Tried wiping the caches and fixing permissions in recovery, which had no effect except that it unrooted the phone -.-
Thanks for any replies!

I have recently updated my S2 to the stock rom 4.1.2. However the phone started running out of storage place in the internal USB (where I could not even capture a screen shot, etc.).
So I decided to factory reset it and wipe it via the recovery mode. After the recovery, the phone just keep having a USB icon and saying "USB storage is blank or has unsupported file" and prompted me to format it when I click on it. But it just dismount and try to mount again without solving the issue.
I have searched through couple of forums and couldnt get the fix on this, tried to format it on PC (via connection a cable to the phone) but it does not allow me to do so saying no such right. Tried to flash it again with the rom, still no good. Also tried to wipe it many times still no sign of hope.
I am wondering if anyone here may point me the right direction to any place where I can fix it. Since I cant even take our the internal USB, I am just stuck with the internal 2Gb memory. Thank you so much in advance.
I remember seeing this message when my external sd card got corrupt. So quick question, are you using any external sd card?

Thanks for the reply. I have already removed my external SD card to isolate the issue. I still got the message even I dont have any external SD card inserted. So it shall be the internal memory issue.
