I'm working on a tablet for a friend, running Android 4.1.1, just got it rooted, Link2SD running, SD card properly partitioned. Everything is good... except before installing Link2SD and partitioning the card, when I would connect the tablet to my PC by USB, and turn on USB Storage on the tablet, my PC would mount the tablet's internal storage from /mnt/sdcard and the tablet's micro SD card ... now that I'm using Link2SD when I enable USB Storage, it mounts the regular fat32 portion of the micro SD and the ext2 partition of the micro SD card created for Link2SD. Any idea why this is and how to correct it? I'm hoping there's a system setting somewhere that I can list which locations to share when turning on USB Storage mode on the tablet.

When I connect my Atrix to a PC and put it in USB storage mode, a removable drive comes up for the internal storage but it is not accessible.
The internal storage has however been unmounted in the OS and all the apps on it are inaccessible. If I go to Storage in Settings, I do not see an option to remount it so to remount it I have to reboot.
Any ideas what is causing this issue and how to fix it? My external SD card mounts fine it's just the internal storage that doesn't work....
This is happening to me too ... all of the sudden, BOTH my internal and external SD are not mounted. They do not show up at all in the settings ==> storage menu and are no longer accessible via PC when the phone is hooked up via USB.
When an app tried to access them, the error is "NO SD MOUNTED".
Any ideas ?
I am using MIUI v4 2.8.10 and my phone is charging fine (from the laptop and the wall outlet). When I connect it to my laptop it does not mount the SD card (I have a SD card). It does no mount the internal memory neither the SD card.
This is driving me crazy. Any suggestions ?
internal memory and SDcard are visible in Storage settings? if so, try Dual Mount SD.
Running 4.2.1 Supernexus on an i9100, I had a 32GB Micro SD card in the phone and when I had it connected to my computer I formatted it, except I foolishly set the format to NTFS. Now android won't read it (doesn't show up in storage) nor will it mount it when connected via USB so I can't put it back to FAT32/exFAT
Installed Paragon's NTFS mounting tool which mounts the drive but it's still not showing up in storage or being mounted via USB.
How can I format it back to FAT so it will be read by windows and/or android? I'm surprised there is no SD Card formatting apps out there
Thanks :good:
Put it in a card reader, and format it directly in your computer, not through the phone.
If for some reason Windows doesn't see it, use MiniTool Partition Wizard.
Lately my phone has stopped mounting the SD storage when I reboot. I now have to manually mount the SD card via settings which is a pain as most apps I have moved to this storage and appears disabled unless I mount.
Just to make it clear this is the external micro sd card I'm referring not the USB storage or the internal storage.
Any ideas why this would suddenly be happening? Could my SD Card be slowly dying?
I'm on 4.1.2 for sometime now.
Hi, I'm using a n7000 Slimkat 4.4.4 rom, with slim kernel 3.0.80+ autobuild.
Previously I used link2sd to create a partition on my SD card to get more space on my internal, and after a while I realised my USB storage is being recognised as an SD card. I tried a full wipe and reinstalled my rom but now even the internal storage is messed up. Not even the reformat works anymore
It's too complicated to explain in words so here are the screenshots. So how f**ked am I and how do I salvage this?
Each time I link files into the card (700mb size, it worked previously) it freezes the whole phone
From the storage option I can see this:
1. Internal storage 2GB (normal, nothing wrong with it)
2. Internal storage 11GB (this should be USB storage, and it has a erase SD card option at the end)
3. SD card 2GB (It was 4GB but I used link2sd to create an internal partition. MTP and mass storage is not detected but using card reader it is fine)
4. USB storage (there is only a mount and erase SD card option which is greyed out/unclickable and does not has any space indicator)

there is nothing wrong at all.
just repartition and reformat your sdcard and dont use external sdcards for app storage.

But what about the greyed out USB storage option? I don't remember seeing it in that way
