Hey I just Flashed the most recent nightly CM11. But now my (external) SD Card is not seen anywhere.
What I tried so far:
- clear caches (CWM)
- reflashed cm11
- format sd card in windows (fat32)
- format sd card in windows (ext4)
- format sd card in CWM (failed)
- mount sd card in CWM (failed)
sd card is working in card reader (both win/linux) and worked before in stock ROM, so I assume it is not broken and generally compatible to the phone.
any suggestions what else to try?

this is not related to CM but its all due to kit kat android.

Thx for your reply. I know that the folders where external sd is mounted has changed with kit kat. But the sd wasn't mounted there either.
Anyway this problem is solved. I reformated the sd with my linux pc and now it works like expected. I don't know why but windows seems to have problems formating the sd correctly although the sd worked with a windows pc.

I have CM7 and my sd card is not loading ... how can i fix the problem
loading on PC or PHONE? Which SD internal or external?
- if its the external mount to PC i believe it was fixed in the latest nightly. When did you install?
did you just flash the initial? Like noted, the latest nightly will address that.
CWM (Indirect's Nook Tab Flasher) Internal will not mount SD card; however the SD Card version will mount the exact same card that the internal version won't mount (Just to keep it straight, the SD card with CWM boot is a different card then the card that will and won't mount. I take the CWM boot card out). To me, this implies that the card is formatted correctly. It is the same 16 GB Class 4 Sandisk card that I use in the tablet on a daily basis.
I have also tried manually mounting the SD card in CWM Internal. Will not mount.
Has anyone else experienced this? Am I correct in assuming the card is formatted correctly? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed
Edit--Solved--The problem occured because I was using QuickBoot to go into Recovery (CWM). I decided to turn my NT off and use Power + N. CWM booted, saw the SD Card and I was able to Backup.
Hi, I installed CM10 on my 8GB from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877217
Initially, my external SD card worked, but after a reboot, I am not even given an option in settings > storage to mount the SD card. Additionally, I cannot mount the card from CM 10 recovery boot.
I know that the actual card works, because I can install CWM or something else to the SD card and boot from it. It's just that in CM 10, it isn't recognized at all. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
I've been having no trouble with flashing roms from my external sd card. I'm looking to completely wipe my phone (internal and external sd cards) to get a fresh install. I formatted my external sd card (via the phone). I then connected it to my PC, copied over my rom and a wipe tool no problem. My phone reads the SD card fine when it's booted up, can see the rom i've copied over.
When I re-boot into recovery mode with CWM-based Recovery (v6.0.1.4 - siyah), it says "E:can't mount/external_sd/" when I try to find my rom to flash.
I'm wondering if the problem is the siyah thing, it's not the kernal i'm using, if was installed on my phone with a rom I no longer use. That said, it wasn't an issue before I formatted my external SD card.
I've just updated CWM to ClockworkMod Touch 6.0.3.2 which has got rid of the Siyah version. I've also formatted the SD card again as i've read that formatting via the phone changes the file format to something cwm doesn't like. I did it via PC, it's formatted at exfat. Still made no difference, CWM won't read it.
Might be a silly question but did you go into "mounts and storage" I. Cwm and check the external sd card is mounted?

I have tried that. It didn't work, it would give the same error. I have managed to get it to be read in CWM, I downloaded the ROM manager tool, used that to put a partition on the SD card. Then I was able to format the card via CWM. I've not had a chance to put my ROM back on the SD card and retry. One thing is, when I booted up the phone after formatting the card in CWM, the phone shows it as blank or has an unsupported file system, saying it needs to be formatted. I wonder why there is a conflict?
I needed to format the sd card on my pc, it needed to be fat32. All sorted now

If you really want exFAT, try Philz recovery linked in my signature. It is CWM but with loads of great extra features (including exFAT support).
I actually thought that exFAT support meant it can format in exFAT. I find it odd that exFAT is the native format that Samsung uses but CWM doesn't support it.
Personally I use FAT32 myself as my main computer is Linux and exFAT is too microsofty for it to recognise.
I've installed that and re-formatted my SD card into whatever Samsung uses (think it's exfat) as fat32 was making windows explorer slow and crash prone
sup guys am having a problem with my samsung galaxy s3,via E:can't something related to mount format.............i mount for mated ,anyone who know how i can fix it?
Hi,
I have a strange issue with my external sd card. I am using Redmi Note LTE[DIOR]. I do not know how to reproduce this issue.
One particular SD card(64 GB) goes undetected in the phone's recovery(tried on TWRP as well as CWM recovery).
From TWRP:
/external_sd/ folder is blank, and also TWRP won't check the mount Micro SDCard.
From CWM:
E: can't mount /sdcard/. That's all I get.
The stranger fact is that the same sd card works in the recovery of other phones and other sd cards work in my phone's recovery. As far as i remember this issue started after flashing the CM 14.1 ROM.
Have tried the below:
1. Formatting my sd card in all file systems possible(using Windows, Android, Minitool Partition, SDFormatter).
2. Partitioning SD card successfully using CWM and TWRP recoveries on other phones(still undetected on my phone)
3. Flashing stock ROM.
4. Trying to wipe and partition sd card through TWRP recovery on my phone, all I get is device could not be found in both cases!
5. Partitioning SD card using Minitool Partition Wizard.
Someone, please help. It's driving me crazy!
OTG is working fine on TWRP though.
Also, the sd card is detected and working when the phone boots up in android, issue is only with RECOVERY.
