Try testing in another phone. If does not work, buy a new, because its corrupted.

sorry mate but not sure what sw test disk is??
hello team,
i have an I777, the problem i receive is : E: can't mount /emmc/
the i read a lot articles about this and non of them is looks like my problem, because the internal sd is detected in the MCW recovery like the external SD, abd when you try to mount the internal SD he just reconize that one like a external when i connect the external SD card in the phone, he detect that one like the internal SD, and let me mount the OS, but when the system restart to open the OS is not working and just send the galaxy sII screen and then shoot down the cel.
help please!!
If I'm understanding this correctly, in settings>storage and in there you can swap the storage settings.
Sorry if this isn't your problem. You might want to explain more.
Cheers!

well the problem is the phone not enter to the OS, if you try to install the factory image same issue, when you enter to the recovery mode with the CWM you can see the 2 SD card the internal one and the external but in the options display like the internal SD card is detected like as an external and when i mount the external SD he detect that one like the internal SD card, I'm not able to enter to the android just to the recovery mode, i use odin to install different kernels and the problem is the same, i install the gingerbread stock OS and the problem is the same.
I think I understand your problem. It has to do with which kernel your using. On some the two sd cards are swapped on others it is correct. There is really not much you can do about it in recovery except try to keep track of which is really which. I suggest making a folder on your internal called "internal" and a folder on the external called "external". Then you'll always know which one your actually in.

He's right. Try flashing something else and see what happens.

welll i'm not able to use the phone, just to connect in the computer with the recovery mode and use to mount usb, but when i do that the systems i connect the phone not detect the external SD, but detect the internal SD when i change the kernel the CWM detect both SD cards, but in the incorrect places, when i install the siyah 3.1 not run the phone i was just able to enter to the download mode, then i use the NEAK, enter to the recovery mode and not detect non of the SD and not let me mount the SD cards when i go to the mount options, i use the rogue sm recovery to reset the settings but the problem persist, then use the sph cwm fixed but the problem is the same, then i install again the gingerbread ( the factory OS ) not pass the galaxy s II screen, but if i connect the cell by usb he enter to the gingerbread,
this is something ready weird!!!!

Thats not weird man, Samsung screws with stuff, AOSP builds attempt to right this. The fact that you cant mount your sdcard to your pc in recovery, doesnt seem that big of a deal, put a file on internal and flash it, how hard is that?
And after going back to stock, a reset in 3e recovery might be required.
Hmmmmm. Try putting another kernel on an external SD card maybe?

not work what you recommend .
to jdbeitz:
not work also.
if i connect the cel to the usb he enter with the gingerbread os, but sometimes shutdown the phone, if some one have any way to make a total reboot the cel because when i try to do that to the internal sd and the external sd not delete the information and also i don't try to delete or format the external and internal card in the computer when i have that one connected because i don't want to screw up more my phone.
Please don't take this the wrong way. But I'm guessing english is not your first language? What you are saying is not making much sense. At least not to me. Is anyone else making sense of it. I'm not trying to be mean, but it's hard to help you when it's hard to understand what your doing or trying to do.

well what is happening is that the internal SD is being detected in the cel and the external and vice versa, while the phone is connected to the computer via USB does get into the operating system, but sometimes goes in that way, that only is possible if I am with the gingerbread installed on the phone, and install different versions of kernels and none detects the internal SD where q is everyone sees the external SD as the primary I formatted both SD and still the problem, I put different fix to return to the state makes the phone but still the same problem ....
if as you say English is not my first language and as I am somewhat accelerated by this problem I have with the phone not devote myself to see if I'm giving me to understand what he said I hope this explanation makes more sense than the above and thank you for support as in any other forum I've read and seen q talk about a similar problem everyone talks about simple things that disabled the internal SD or q does not detect the external and stuff. but an investment of both and therefore it can not install the operating system to separate the kernels mentioned roms or installed from the CWM or from odin.
What rom are using and which kernel.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk 2
the kernel use in this moment is the CWM 5.0.3,
also test with the NEAK and the Siyah 3.1,
the CWM is the only one can see both SD and enter to the recovery, the other 2 not let me enter to the recovery, in this moment i have install the gingerbread stock rom,

So you're trying to use an ics kernel with a gb rom?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
no, i now install that kernel now because the system not enter to the recovery mode with the stock kernel.
in this moment the cel have the CWM install because i will try to install the serendipity 9 .
Ok i'm done if I respond to this im gonna say something ridiculous. Lol. Good luck man. I honestly can't understand what he is trying to do it seems he is just randomly flashing hoping it works.

lol ^
Im not sure either.
sdcard location inside CWM doesnt matter.
Put a ROM on either sdcard and flash it, following the instructions on the ROM's Original Post(OP)
End of story.

No kidding. He's obviously not having issues flashing. He keeps flashing different kernels.
Hi guys
I have searched for the answer to this one and it's now giving me a headache.
I put in a brand new sandisk 16 GB SD card. But now when I put ANY SD card in the phone fails to boot.
Looking through CWM it can't even mount the card there.. I have tried NTFS FAT32 (formatted on laptop) but still nothing. The SD CARD still works and is detected in my laptop. I have even tried the original SD CARD the phone was shipped with and nothing.
Even went back to stock ROM and although it booted, it still couldn't detect the SD card and the media process kept on crashing.
ANY ideas much appreciated!!!

what is the reason you put a new card?
something happened to your old one?

did you check in settings > under device, in "storage" > sdcard
if it appears there as an unknown format
if it did, use "format sd card" in the device itself

maybe your sd slot is broken?
since as you stated:
- works on pc
- same happens with an older working card
- not working in stock or cwm
did your phone fell?
water damage maybe?
did something happen that made you switch to a different sdcard?

Wanted more space... Interestingly though the smaller card (4GB) does let me boot but OS still doesnt detect it.

i cant help but think its a formatting issue... but unsure why
from the CWM logs
I:Can't partition unsafe device: /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
I:Can't format unknown volume: /external_sd
so unsure what the hell is going on

do you have a friend or relative with a galaxy s2 or similar samsung device?
i would insert both sd cards in their phone, format them using the setting menu and test again
sorry i could not help you solve the problem, but it seems hardware related, broken sd slot?

SD Card won't mount - FIXED
I'm just trying to get the word out on the fix that worked for me. NONE of the fixes I have searched for have worked. On Cyanogenmod 10, I just could NOT get the SD Card to mount - External SD would mount, but not the internal SD (on HTC VIVID). Out of frustration, I erased the system and SD card from with in the OS Settings Menu (Setting>Backup & Reset>Factory Data Reset - including SD Erase). When I rebooted, I was going to reload a different ROM....but lo and behold...my SD Cards are both working correctly. Please note that no other Formatting worked (ie from the bootloader). One last note, to get the External SD to talk via USB to the PC, I have to put the unit into MTP mode as a Media Device instead of Mass USB Storage.

I agree - I tried many things including re-formatting / remove -> reinstall disk partition using Windows PC / Ubutntu (gparted), reinstalling the ROM / original firmware etc. None of these worked.
I put the card into different Android phones and tablets - by chance, one of them (a Galaxy Tab 2) managed to detect the card. I used this tablet to format the card (and all other cards which didn't work with the phone) - now they all work!
So, the only way is to find an Android device which can detect the "faulty" card and format it.

Don't seem to be broken hardware, because the fault can be repaired. It seems that Android doesn't agree with formatting / partition of some SD cards.

Hi guys. I have a galaxy s2 with cm13 installed . will it was aa very bad idea to install cm13. The problem is that my internal storage is not available anywhere and when I assign my external SD card as internal still get the same error and the recovery mode is cyanogenmod recovery which cannot do anything . mobile Odin doesn't work (says cannot read binary recovery) and cwm app says SD card is not mounted. Also my USB is not working that I can use Odin . anyone can help
There were a lot of warnings that the ROM is highly alpha... I think they said that the only way is to restore a backup of Cm 12.1. But search in this thread, I think it has been discussed before:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=63267016
Hope this helps.
I am a complete newbie to rooting. I followed the kingoroot guidelines and rooted my Idea Aurus 3 phone. Root was success. The next step I did was downloading custom recovery and cyanogenmod ROM from here to my memory card
I flashed the custom recovery with flashify. The next step I did was wiping all data from the device by entering in to recovery mode (including cache and everything)
I was hoping I could simply install zip from sd card. But when i click on this option, I cannot find my sd card nor zip file (I checked most folders including emmc, etc, sd-ext and couldn't find SD card. The custom recovery name is Phylz touch 6
Now basically I have a phone without OS and all I can do is accessing custom recovery. I don't have a back up too
I can also see an error log "Cannot mount custom path"
I formatted the memory card to exFAT from FAT 32 hoping that would work, it didn't help as well.
Also tried to connect phone to pc using USB (thinking I can move rom to system memory), but wouldn't detect phone memory
Now, is there any way to get this fixed? Any help would be awesome
Thanks!!!
Mount USB option is how you see phone from computer if I remember correctly I haven't used cwm in awhile I always use twrp

download ur rom again.
put it on another sd card and flash the rom from sd.
or there's always a way to flash stock
If u were on philz 6, u cud just hit 'clean
to install a new rom ' and flash ur rom without wiping extra anything.

Do you mean external sd card or internal SD card if you have a external sd card pop it out of your phone and use an SD card adapter on a pc and place the ROM and appropriate gapps on it

I mean external sd card. The ROM is in external sd card, but i cannot see it in recovery mode.
Also, I just tried to sideload rom by using sdk tools.
The result i got was:
C:\Program Files (x86)\platform-tools>adb sideload cm-12-20150320-OFICIAL-5020.z
ip
loading: 'cm-12-20150320-OFICIAL-5020.zip'

Remove sd card and reinsert it while in cwm and in twrp you mount partitions do the equivalent for cwm for your SD card and make sure your SD card is not corrupted

Resolved!! Yay!!
Finally, all fixed.
Let me explain what I did:
I was not able to see zip or sd card in recovery mode. So I pushed the zip file to data/media/0 and installed zip by browsing to that path.
I was not able to flash Cynogenmod, because during the process the reboot was in to my old logo, So I assume it was failure. Then I downloaded a stock rom of my phone model and pushed it to the same location and installed it.
Now, is working fine so far.
Thanks everyone!

I have to remove battery to insert card, so I cannot do that while in recovery mode. However I was able to push the zip to system memory with adb (sdk tools). Cynogen mod didnt work for me, so I used a stock one again
I will still search for a new version as this one is JB 4.1
Well glad you got it fixed
