Hello,
The sd card in my Moto X Play had a corrupt file system. I formatted the card (by Android, as external storage), and discovered that the mount point changed.
Some applications now can no longer find their (restored) data.
I put the sd card in a card reader, connected to my pc (running Linux). Using exfatlabel I changed the card's label, so it was the same as the previous mount point (which was 0123-4567). When I mount the card on my pc, it is mounted as 0123-4567.
Putting it back into my phone, it is still mounted as /storage/FE51-5E4C, the label it had after formatting.
When I look in Settings - Storage and USB, the sd card is shown as 0123-4567.
How can I get the card to be mounted as /storage/0123-4567?
Regards,
George

My hero isn't letting me format my 2gb microSD card.
I've unmounted the card, pressed format and nothing appears to happen.
I can mount the card to my pc and see all the files on the card, so it's not corrupt.
Is there an app that will allow me to format my card?
I've been trying to format my SD card for most of the day. I simply can not get the card to be formatted in my phone/usb card reader.
I can write to the card but it's refusing to format. This seems strange to me? Does anybody know of a work around?
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.
When I try to do things in TWRP it gives me an error that says E:Unable to mount storage. I thought maybe my sd card needs to be reformatted or something, so I went to the system settings once booted and looked under storage. At the bottom "Mount sd card" and Erase SD card are both greyed out and I cant select them. When I connect my phone to my pc it shows only internal storage instead of an internal folder and sd card folder.
All of my data on my sd card still shows up when im on the phone though and I believe all of my data on my sd card is showing up as under internal storage.
Anyone have any ideas as to whats going on?

I had a similar issue today, my SD card was corrupted, this seems to happen with my SD card and android devices every now and then and I'm not sure why. Putting the SD card in my computer showed most of the files were okay, however, there were some that were messed up. Mine was pretty messed up so it is looking like I'm going to have to reformat it if repairing the corrupted parts doesn't work.
I just found a sd card adapter for my pc and used it. I ran chkdsk on the sd card and it found a ton of errors. If I reformat the sd card; what should I reformat it to? Fat32? That's what it is currently.
Edit-After running chkdsk f: /f on my sd card im able to select the mount and erase options now. It seems to have fixed all my issues.
Hey,
For the past month my rooted SCH-I545 (Verizon) S4 has had an error notification that my external SD card is corrupt and needs to be formatted.
Tried connecting the SD card to a card reader, which it wouldn't show up.
Then tried connecting through mounting in Safestrap, which nothing would show up there either.
Ended up formatting it through the phone and the SD card now appears in MTP mode, but still doesn't show when removed from the phone and placed in the card reader or from Safestrap.
How can I either enable UMS to access the drive through the phone to recover files or otherwise gain access to the files formatted on my SD card?
P.s.. Recuva and TestDisk at the ready -- just can't select the SD card when in MTP.
4K android media box with AML812 chip. 2 USB ports, 1 USB OTG port and one SD card slot. Android 4.4.2 (KitKat?)
USB drive connected with FAT system is mounted as read/write device, all SD card I have tested were mounted as read only.
At first I wanted to make firefox to download files to SD card. But firefox had no rights to write to SD.
At second I thought that firefox can't write to SD because new privilages system in KitKat. So I found a solution on the web and have added media_rw entries in permission.xml file in WRITE_EXTERNAL_SD section. But it didn't help.
Then I have found out, that SD card is always mounted as read only by default (by terminal and mount command) - i tried 3 different SD cards, no success.
I have checked SD card with fsck_msdos and externally on my desktop PC - SD card had no errors.
I tried to remount SD as read/write with mount -o remount,rw device from terminal and it worked but apparently only apps with root privilages can write to SD. Firefox still can't write to SD.
And if I close terminal the SD returns to read only state.
Don't know what to do, where to find the solution.
In vold.fstab there is only one command with dev_mount, and this command doesn't have read/write or read only flags (checked dev_mount in the web).
There is no fstab.device files on the box, which are common? in KitKat (above android 4.3) so I am not so sure that this is KitKat device.
Please help to unlock SD card write rights.
EDIT: formatting to exFAT, NTFS or FAT32 with 32KB chunk size didn't resolve anything (advice from some android forum). My device doesn't recognize exFAT, and the rest give me read only mount point.
I installed Paragon exFat, NTFS app. It can't mount SD correctly at all. It unmounts mounted SD very good though. It can't check and fix SD because /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 is read-only file system.
The same goes for format - Error 0x1e from mkhfs.
When I try to mount SD with Paragon nothing happens (the mount button is still active, and unmount is inactive), and android memory settings show that SD card has been mounted as 803 MB card, not 16 GB card (14,84 GB exact capacity). Paragon can only unmount SD.
Now I see that I can't even format SD card from android memory settings. When I choose format, it unmounts SD card but then nothing happens. There is no format operation going on.
Really I don't have any more idea.
