Formatting SD Error

OKay guys I formatted my SD card on my MT3G 32B and now the SD is Blank but my phone wont recognize it. I only Get a Blank SD card. Also I tried accessing the Power Off + Home so I can format it from there and It wont display the menu. I've tried it aswell without the SD card inside the phone and it's a no go. My phone still works but it's slow since I am running HERO.
Anything you guys can tell me to fix this? I am using AMON-Ra's and Kingxxx whatever hero rom long ass name...

Nevermind... I swear technology has it's own mind and everything... I managed to fix it the phone Formatted it. But now I the SD is not readable by my Mac :S weird...
PS. It fixed itself lol

SD card problem, I can see external folder but cannot access card, what's wrong?

Hi guys,
I just installed the Tiamat 1.4.3 kernel but I can't seem to access my SD card at all.
I can flash via CWM so I know my SD card is working.
But after I booted into Honeycomb and used multiple file managers to try to access my SD, I can only see the sdcard/external folder but that folder always empty which is not suppose to be empty.
I need some help here....

It's not hot swappable. Take the card out, turn device off, put SD card in, boot up.

You are right

I have the same problem and it's not because I was trying to hot swap it. I do notice the "external" folder has no execute permissions and you cannot change it.

[Q] All Files Deleted?

Something odd just happened. I picked up my Xoom and woke it up. It said my lock screen pic couldn't be found. I thought that odd because I hadn't made any changes to it. But Maybe it dismounted the SD card for some reason. So I used Root Explorer to look for the file again but it should nothing on my sd card. I plugged it into my computer. Didn't even show an SD card. Again not wholly odd. Restarted it but it stuck at the dual core M screen. Booted into recovery, went to install and it says there is nothing on my Xoom at all. No internal files. No files on the sd card. When I tell recovery to rebbot it warms me no OS is installed. This was definitely unexpected. I don't get how it would just deleted every single file on the entire device when it worked fine just yesterday.
Any ideas? It's a 4G Xoom 1, running Omni's 4.4.2 ROM. Or I should say that's what it was running.
ETA: I pulled the SD card and the files are actually still there. The Xoom just doesn't see them.
ETA: Well... nevermind I guess... I put the sd card back in the Xoom and now suddenly the files on it and the OS is back. It booted just fine. Leaves me even more

Internal Memory/Internal SD issue

Hi.
Today when I rebooted my OPO, my phone seems to be partially unable to read my internal storage or something. Swiftkey notifies me the error of unable to store language pack, EverNote prompts me that SD card has been changed/removed. Worst of all, I am unable to take pictures with my Camera or even screenshots. When I try to take a picture, it says "Please insert an SD card before using the camera."
As we all know, the OPO does not come with an external SD card slot, so what is the issue with my internal memory/internal SD? I am still able to access my songs and e-books which are stored in my 'internal SD' though.
Would appreciate if anyone knows how to overcome this issue.. I've tried to recover data a week back using TWRP and re-booted the phone countless times to no avail.

Update: When I attempted to download an app from the Google Playstore or through an APK file, it says "Storage is full." even though I have 32GB of space left.
Helpp! This is getting aggravating and is leading to more problems.

Same problem happened to me; did a factory reset now phone stuck on cyanogen logo screen and phone will not boot to anything. Next phone will have to have an SD card. I have backups but some recent information was not backed up.

Holy shizz... I thought of trying to factory reset to see if it solves the problem. So basically your phone is sorta bricked? Are you gonna send it back for warranty/check the problem at a local hardware shop?

The same is happening to me.
Any solution?

"SD Card safe to remove" "Preparing SD card" over and over again.

Hi fellows, sorry to bother you i always try to manage to solve all problems on my own (researching) but there no info on the subject.
A bit of history: im the happy owner of an MT7-L09 since last month. I bought it with a Sandisk Ultra 32gb micro sd class10. I've been using the phone without any problems. Didnt even tried to root it.
What i actually did was to set up the SD card as a the default memory location. I dont actually really know what this does apart from saving all media in the SD (mainly google play music, photos and videos i shoot with the camera, some big obb files, etc).
Last week i downloaded oficial Lollipop 5.1.1 release and did a manual update. All good, i kept on using it without any problems (aside from considerably lower battery life) for a couple of days.
Then i decided to gain root access. I followed this steps after googling for help.
I gained root access but after this, it keeps looping between "sd card safe to remove" and "preparing sd card" as long as my sd card is in its slot.
After that i:
Got SD card out, used a PC to backup contents (no damages), gave it a quick format in windows fat32, then format in android. PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE
Then i went back to the pc and gave the card a slow full fat32 format, then format again in andoird. PROBLEM STILL HERE
I also recently bought an action cam with the same SD model. Got that one out and placed it straight into the phone replacing the other. SAME TYPE of SD HERE, SAME MODEL. PROBLEM PERSISTS.
I think it might be related to flashing a recovery or something like that while i had my sd card as default memory location. I really dont know what to do to ger it read any of my SD cards again.
Shall i flash original kit kat firmware again? maybe 5.1.1 again and loose root access? I couldnt find any information regarding this issue rather than try another SD card which i already did (the problem surfaced after the process of gaining root access).
Any clues?
Thaks

I just started having this problem today. I have been on the official 5.1.1 since it launched and never came across any issue until this morning. I never ever rooted or flashed anything custom and the boot loader is still locked.
As of today I started having this issue, looping between "SD card safe to remove" and "Preparing SD card" however I am able to access the SD Card and intervals. The SD Card works perfectly fine on any other device.
One thing I changed recently (2 days ago) is the default memory location, I set it to SD Card, so I am going to revert that setting back to Internal Memory and see if it fixes the issue. Thanks for the tip
If anyone else has come across this issue and/or knows how to fix it please help
UPDATE: I tried reverting the default location setting back to "Internal storage" and found that the setting had already reverted back automatically, presumably because the SD Card is not always available So no luck with that. I am starting to suspect it's a hardware issue!
UPDATE 2: I left the SD Card in the device and connected it to the PC in order to take a backup using HiSuite. As soon as I plugged it in the error stopped cropping up. I finished the backup, unplugged the USB and so far the "SD card safe to remove" and "Preparing SD card" did not show up again. It's been over an hour now. Yesterday I plugged in the device to my PC in order to copy some pictures so something may have happened at that point I'm suspecting.

It's been over 12 hours now so I'm guessing all it needed was to connect it to the pc again [emoji2]

Now that you mention Hi Suite, i played arround a bit with it before the error appeared. im gonna give it a shot

I've done that the root and installed the recovery and microSD goes into loop does not know what to do help ..

Mine is still steady after a few days, hope you fix yours too [emoji6]

Solved. It must be some issue caused by HiSuite. I connected, made full backup, safely extracted SD from computer and problem seems to have ceased.
Thanks

I got this problem today after reflashing stock recovery.
It disappears after remove and reinsert sd card, but after a reboot problem was still there.
Now I solved checking debug usb setting, because after recovery flash it has been disabled itself.

I have this problem but with the USB storage device, I bought a new one which has two plugs, one is usb the other is micro, to transfer from laptop to phone without cables. It works on PC, it works on my husband's Huawei Mate 7, but just loops on mine. Other USB storage work fine on my phone with cable, but this new one just loops "preparing to connect" and " USB removed", even when trying to connect with cable.
All software is up to date, no modifications have been made.
Any simple ideas would be appreciated (I'm not into flashing/rooting etc!)
