Hi
I am getting an error mounting sdcard2. Is there some setup needed for it to be mounted or is it automatic after insert?
thanks
odd...I'm having the same issue but in status, its showing No SD Card. I popped in two working microSD that was used on my rooted G1 and both show up fine when I plug it and turn on my old G1 phone....any suggestions or did i get a bad G Tablet
Assuming you are using TnT (Lite), it should be automatic. I have a 32GB microSD and it is seen on boot, and I can remove and reinsert with no issues.
We know that VOLD mounts the device, and that there's something in the framework that controls this. gojimi managed to replicate this in the VEGAn build, for example.
As to why your cards aren't working, the only things I can think of that either the GTab is finicky with certain cards, or that it's not formatted as FAT32. I'm going on the assumption that the former is more likely.
If you have access to ADB, you might want to look into the logcat logs to see if there are any errors when the device is inserted.
hmm wierd. i was using zpad and did not see an option to mount the card. i changed to tntlite now i can mount and see it.

I have this problem that keeps repeating itself.
I have been using the latest BiffMod Rom for a few weeks, all has been fine until I moved some apps to the MicroSD card via the inbuilt application manager.
The phone works fine for a while and then one day, nothing. the phone doesnt want to boot or anything. After some investigating it turns out its the MicroSD card that is corrupt.
If remove it from the phone, the phone operates as expected, If I insert it, I either get freezing, or the safely remove SD card message. The card wont mount.
I have tried the card in a Windows PC and it will read the Fat32 but freezes after a while.
Now this is not the first time this has happened and the pattern is emerging that it seems to be when ever I move apps to the SD.
Has anyone else had similar problems, I have gone through 3 of the same card in about as many months, luckily I have a bunch of cards from work. But its super annoying.
completely The card ends up been completly useless.

Well, for one, Biffmod moves apps2sd automatically, using scripts and when you do it manually, you are messing with the mod. So, thats where you messed up.
Secondly, I too messed up a 16GB Class10 SD card but, was able to fix it by reformatting it in ubuntu then again in Amon_RA recovery menu. I originally had it formatted 1024MB ext4/96MB swap...when I re-parted it, I had to change the sizes for it to work. Now, its 512MB ext4/32MB swap.
Third, a guy (MrBurrito) gave me this script file he made to try and fix the card. You copy it to your sd card, flash it in recovery, wait 10-20 seconds after it finishes and, then reboot. It didn't work for me but, I'll attach it, maybe it can work for you.
All of a sudden apps on storage card fail to load.
After a few reboots they reappear at random, but disappear again on reset.
Did not have that problem with stock, but after flashing Infused 1.14 (and on) the issue appears even with the (rooted) stock rom.
Any ideas?
I am trying to determine if I need to return and replace the phone before I lose the option.
Thank you in advance.
Answering the question by myself, in case others encounter the same issue.
The external card had something corrupted, and when the system was mounting it, all mess ensued.
Backed up all the data and reformatted.
System appears ok for now
I just had this same problem or at least something very similar to it. Initially I thought it was the 32GB SD card being too big since I read Android had a 16GB external card limit. But those posts were from a year ago and when I searched deeper I read that 32GB cards were being use without size problems now. There was one issue that seemed to affect some people and that was that android could have problems formatting a card that big and that's how I installed it in my Infuse initially- I let the Infuse format it, then popped in in my Macbook Pro (in OSX) to copy over the contents from the previous 8G card. I believe I have hidden files set to show, so I should be copying over everything- though, could this method of upgrading the card be a problem too?
It worked for a couple days, but last night during a reboot I tried to access the app tray and didn't know the card was still being scanned. It froze and I couldn't get past the secondary media scan after many tries. I didn't realize that apps were being automatically installed to the card.
Anyway, I was gonna return the card, but after reading your post, I'm thinking again about corruption due to poor formatting as the problem, so I'll try it again when I get home. Thanks for your post. I really want to be able to use this larger card so I'm keeping my fingers crossed this will solve the problem.
BTW, how did you format the card? I have Win7 x64Pro on my MBP as well if I need to use windows, but did you use FAT, FAT32, ExFat? I'm still a 'droid noob ;P. Thanks again!

At first it actually worked and I got a few apks loaded up, but now it absolutely won't cooperate and I have been wrestling with this all night. Getting various errors, basically the PC just won't recognize either the phone or the SD card. Can anyone help me out here?

don't move apps to the sdcard.
uninstall whatever apps you moved to sdcard, reboot, reinstall them and keep them in internal memory.
I didn't move any apps to my SD card. I installed them from it. They were apk files. Installed in internal memory.

Known issue. Mine will also just stop seeing the SD card randomly. I'll know it when the phone rings and the ringer is some default garbage instead of the ringer I had assigned from the SD card.
I've yet to see any actual working solution. Simply rebooting the phone will usually fix it for awhile. Will probably have to wait for a Moto update.
what class is the sdcard?
people have been having issues with class 10 cards (although i have not).
try backing up everything on the sdcard, go to settings > storage and format the sdcard using the phone. move your stuff back onto the card and see if the problem continues.

Been there done that. Mine is a class 4 Sandisk 16GB.
Make sure you don't have any apps on your SD card. When you plug in your USB cord in it unmounts the SD card. If you have any apps on the card that are running is when you run into the problems being described as the phone is trying to unmount the card but can't due to the apps running.
Card is the stock 2gb, don't know what class.
No apps running from the card. Tried rebooting the phone a few times, turning USB debugging on and off, using different connection modes... No dice.
Def keep USB debugging on. When you plug your phone in does the USB icon show up in the notification bar?
Yeah, it does. And it charges.
OK grab the USB icon and pull it down just like a notification. You should see either 3 or 4 options, charge only, windows media share, etc. Sounds like you have charge only picked. Choose the media or data one and hopefully that will get you squared away

If u pull the card you should see a number on it in a tiny circle, the number in that circle indicates what class the card is. I had this problem once, after I rooted. Did factory reset and its been all good since....this was 2 weeks ago.
Sent from my MB865 using XDA App
I've tried all the USB connection options multiple times.
I had to uninstall moto drivers and then reinstall them on my pc. All was good after that.
Also done that multiple times.
For now I'm just using my ghetto rigged card reader - digital camera and micro sd-sd adapter. Hahahha.
Probably just going to have to wait for an update and some more moto support for this phone on the pc side. Speaking of updates, this phone's been out for a month. Getting to be about time we at least saw a few bug fixes.
I'm sure you did a battery pull. I just went through this with my device, and that fixed the issue...
Actually, I didn't.
It seems that if there are any apps installed on the sdcard, it can't be accessed via usb.
Mine actually just started doing this as well. It was working fine, and now I cannot get it to mount as a mass storage drive on several different computers. I had three apps installed on the card, all games. I uninstalled all of them and still no mass storage.
So I've been making sure no apps get installed on my sd, or even any app databases because sometimes an app will install internally, but put its database on the sd. So none of that! I enjoyed a few days of being able to use usb mass storage, then a couple days ago it became inaccessible again. I checked for apps that may have slipped something onto the sd but didn't find anything noteworthy.
I left the issue alone, praying for a fix materialize from the etherworld, when something interesting happened today. I unmounted the sd and installed a new app, and a notification came up saying the app could be moved to the sd; but the notification used a wierd sound to alert me, presumably because it couldn't find the default audio file on the unmounted sd. So I then wen't to settings/sounds...oops... android crashed and rebooted with the sd card mounted; and I have access to usb mass storage again. Prayer answered?
As the title says, something seems to be up with my SD card. I figured I'd nose around here before going out to pick up a card reader so I can mess with the darn thing on my computer.
Anyway, before anything else, I'm going to say that I've never had any issues with writing to my SD card since I picked up the Z3--neither on Kitkat nor on Lollipop. I don't even remember having to use the platform.xml fix.
Just today, however, I suddenly got an error when trying to copy some files to my external SD. I was more than a little surprised since, just a few days ago, I was moving files back and forth between the card and the internal memory without any problems. I tried backing something up in Titanium next, and got the infamous insufficient storage space error. I found it really weird but, since it wasn't anything new to me, I tried applying the fix, which didn't solve the issues. I also tried the Play Store app and FolderMount. FolderMount seemed to work so I uninstalled it (which you should be able to do, right?) and restarted my phone, to make sure whatever fixed things stuck. Aaand I ended up right back where I started.
Next, I thought of unmounting and remounting the card in Settings. What I saw there, though, was that the system wasn't detecting the card as mounted at all. I tried using the mount option but all I got was "Preparing SD card... " and nothing after that. Despite that, I could see and access/use everything on the SD card through ES and other apps. I pulled the card out and stuck it back in, and it finally started showing as mounted in Settings, but then everything else (ES and other apps) was showing that there was no SD card. Restarting the phone after that resulted in the original problem.
I've had a number of cards die on me in the past and, so far, I'm not getting any of the symptoms of that yet. If the card is indeed on its deathbed, I wouldn't be surprised either, as it is several years old. If I can, though, I would still rather forego the expense and trouble of getting a new card, so I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction of getting this sorted out.
Thank you!
Dying SD card, SanDisk UHS is so well known to start dying fast...I guess others that use similar components too...
I've been having some problems with the SD card also, and I suspect XZDualrecovery to do some weird stuff to the SD card..
I've been having problems with the SD card being 'damaged' according to the phone. However, if I take it out, and put it back in, it works like a charm again, until i reboot.
This error seems to coincide with XZDualrecovery, seeing that XZDR doesn't work anymore right before the 'damaged' messages.
When reinstalling XZDR, the error doesn't appear after reboot, and the thing is fine again for some time.
I really don't get why this happens though...
Card is a Sandisk 128GB Ultra MicroSDXC A1 card.
Card is formatted exFAT.
Card can be mounted, opened, and read/write with no problems via my laptop when plugged directly (SD slot).
Android (LG G5, LineageOS 15.1) says card is corrupt, is trying to make me format. Card initially set up as "Portable Storage".
Took FOREVER to move music onto this card, as artists had to be moved one at a time or transfers would fail, so I'm trying to avoid formatting.
I've tried rebooting the phone, repairing the file system using TWRP Wipe command (fails with error code 1), and mounting with a clean eject via Windows 10 on my laptop using the SD card slot. Nothing has made an impact, stupid phone still won't allow me to use the card.
If anyone has any ideas why this is happening, or how I could potentially fix this without having to wipe the card, I would appreciate it. This thing has been a PITA since I got it, I thought it would be awesome having such expandable storage on my phone (I'm a weirdo who doesn't use streaming services) but I've had nothing but problems so far. I have to be careful with how I transfer files onto the card or the transfer will take an (appropriately) long time, act like it works, but then the file just won't be there. Now I've finally gotten the card loaded up, and after a routine phone reboot a few days ago, the Android OS is trying to say it's corrupt; This is also making me worry that this will continue being an issue in the future.
Running "chkdsk E: /r" on my laptop is revealing a couple minor corruptions inside the directory, and volume bitmap. It's hanging on verification/completing now.
Is it possible that I have a bad SD card? This thing has seriously done nothing but suck since I've been trying to use it.
Edit: Unless someone tells me otherwise, I'm pretty sure this is a bogus/defective SD card. I simply cannot believe that flash memory would perform this badly. I'm going to return this card (bit of a PITA since I ordered it online) and buy another one locally.
