Hello!
I'm running CM7 RC2.
I woke up today and saw on the notification bar Damaged USB storage
when I press on it I have 2 options 1- format 2- cancel.
what should I do?
I don't wanna lose my data...?
That's unfortunate but then its afterall extended storage & over a period of time it does go corrupt - that partition is essentially vFat. There is this utility at /system/bin/fsck_msdos which is eitherway invoked during bootup. You could try running that from adb shell but I wouldn't count too much on it - there is a limit to what it can fix. Formatting is the best option. I hope you do make regular back-ups.
Hello!
I boot into the recovery mode will my phone is pluged into the USB port hit reboot and now it's working all over again...
I now backup my camera files and my music...
Any resone for that error...? did I do something worng?
Not really but like I said its storage after all - read/write ops causes modification in the file-table & should that be abrupted for some reasons leaving incomplete entries & leading to such behaviors. On a reboot, fs-check utility must have fixed it.
I have hade the same problem today: error "damaged storage", recovery mode cannot mount or format /sdcard, i've paniced alot, but i came home nearly 1 a.m, so i hadn't much time and all important data was backuped.
I went to recovery mode, mounted usb mass storage and formated internal storage with default windows' utility.
Looks like it worked.
UPD +half an hour:
Probably it was issue with Ressurection Remix ROM. After format sdcard was mounted, but cycle reboots didn't stopped. After installing SlimICS ROM, it fully worked.
Full story here, if you are interested.

PROBLEM SOLVED
Im using custom rom Androxide 1.2.1 and im having trouble to find any media in my Google apps. I cant find any old images in gallery (although I can find newly taken screenshots.).
And I cant find any music at all i Google Play Music.
I CAN see my stuff on SDcard using Root Explorer and on PC.
I have noticed that android.process.media FC's after bootup. And I belive it has something with that to do, but I cant figure out why or how...
This problem seems to only occur on this Androxide rom, all other roms are OK.
I have tried reboot, full wipe, flash rom again after full wipe, change kernel, fix permissions, connect USB storage - disconnect - and reboot, and I have tried to google it.
No luck.
I have now problem with ALL roms im trying. I have been flashing different roms all day and have only had success like 2 times getting media to be found in Gallery and Music app (no problem in explorer apps).
I have no longer fc's on start up.
-Im not sure if its supose to be like this, but after flashing a rom in CWM Recovery the SDcard gets stuck in mounted mode. I get "error unmounting /sdcard!" when trying to unmount it. Before flashing rom after the data wipes I can mount and unmount as normal.
Also when plugging out the phone from USB transfer mode the USB-logo is still in notification bar for a while, and then the phone says that USB is connected altough I just disconnected it...
Is there something wrong with the phone?
I will attach some screenshots and I hope someone friendly can help me out!
Have you tried clearing data for you Music and gallery under Apps?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes I have.
You can also clear data for 'Media Storage', but this could erase some things (I've seen default ringtones being erased). Not sure the whole extent of doing this.
Run rescan media from the market.
I have tried it, it does not work. Thanks for ideas though!

I ran into the same issue with media process fc's and the phone did not recognize any of my media files from the SD Card.. I solved it by backing up all the important files to my PC: pictures, music, TiBu folder, etc... Wiped (reformatted) the SDCard, wiped/factory reset, reflashed the ROM. Restored my apps from TiBu. Copied back my pictures and other files back to the SDCard. Everything worked fine after that.
I think after a while, the SDCard gets so bloated with lots of files causing the media scanner to take a long time to scan the SDCard, thus the out of memory exception.
+1 on the above....
Start fresh all over again.
Get rid of all the unnecessary junk.
Good luck

I was hoping this was my last way out, but it makes sense. Backing up SDcard now...
Problem solved
formated sdcard and moved my backup back to it, flashed a nice rom, and now it shows all my media again!
Thanks [email protected]!
Sorry man...
..i have the similar problem to be not able to start ,it freezes,i can start in recovery,but trying to mount the sd card,the reply is "e: can't mount /sdcard/"
i ìd like to try the format of sdcard,but : first of all,i must be able to restart at least one more time,to backup all my file,and then,the question is..after formatting it,how can i reflash a new rom?usually i copy them on the sdcard,and then ,bootin in recovery,i install it with the option ' install zip from sdcard'..but after a format,how to copy it?
Today I had about 2 dozen sdcard folders that could not be read by Titanium, MyBackUp Pro, Linda Manager etc. Did nothing since a TWRP backup last nite that went fine.
Tried to wipe card to copy a bu from pc but got notification in windows of corrupted files and they would not delete. Those included the above mentioned folders. Also, no luck with trying to use TWRP to wipe card.
Didn't try Fix Permissions with TWRP as didn't think that would apply. So I unmounted card from pc, still pluged in, and selected Format SD Card icon in TWRP.
It stopped on Verifying partition sizes after it started the Formatting /sdcard sequence and has been there for over 20 minutes. So, much easier with a removable card. What would you suggest I do next. Can't take that long to format with TWRP, or can it--?
I normally use SD Formatter and it did take awhile. But, when using the recovery like AmonRa etc only a couple minutes. Obviously not a full format.
Thanks

Well, I had to back out of formatting and format with sdformatter. Then sdcard wouldn't mount so I did the clear storage method and got data back on sdcard.
Problem is now after reflashing twrp and cwm the bootloader screen still shows the "clear storage" choice. So, even though I can boot into recovery, I could not see any bu's in twrp to restore. I did in cwm and restored Zydroid 3.3.5.
I will see how it runs, but why is clear storage still an option in bootloader, I thought that disappeared with a custom recovery--maybe not??
And why no bu's showed in twrp to restore, but did in cwm-- The only thing I did different was flash twrp thru fastboot as opposed to thru Goo Mgr originally.
Two final notes then I will retry twrp soon and move on:
I don't pay a lot of attn when backing up or restoring. I did watch this time and saw cwm back up recovery as a default. Twrp has that as an option I never selected--not sure it matters--any thoughts--still trying to figure out why twrp showed no bu's when I selected restore, not even the backup folder. But, the folder showed in File Mgr.
And do you guys with custom recoveries show a Clear Storage option as is available with a stock recovery. I don't remember seeing one. If so, why flash a stock recovery to Clear Storage and get sdcard remounted--
If the Clear Storage shouldn't be there, I still may have recovery issues. Although, all good atm on cwm--
TWRP and CWM has different backups iirc, they can not flash backups made in the other.
thanks, but i may have not explained well
I understand that and it is not the issue
problem was i reflashed twrp after restoring my sdcard
when i went to restore my twrp bu thru twrp the twrp bu folder never showed, just a blank screen after tapping restore
thing is i never tried a restore with twrp, so don't know if it ever worked--
solved one issue thru experimenting
you can't change bu name that shows in file mgr. it didn't have a date and I gave it one. then it doesn't show in recovery when you select restore. I did that to give it a date. but, found out when viewed in recovery after tapping restore the date is there not the HT24HW403671 name.
saw on some guides with cwm that clear storage was mentioned, so guess it was always there and didn't notice as never used it
back on twrp and will see how it goes
one question--if you can't change bu name, how do you differentiate btw diff roms in recovery bu folder--keep only one and put rest on pc?
All Resolved--NP with the Folder Names, didn't know the dated bu's were inside the HT folder--
Hopefully no more sdcard unmounting on its own--
I'll update this incase anyone following or has or will have a similar issue
I haved tried two differnet roms Trickdroid/Axiom (have not gone back to LeeDroid yet). Have run twrp and cwm. Deleted SD Card Speed Boost. Have tried mounting thru phone and twrp.
I still get missing/corrupted sdcard folders from DCIM to Downloads and alerts of folder doesn't exist and need to reformat card. I have reformatted with sdformatter and thru phone. Will lose personally made ringtones.
I have gone back to Axioms v01s kernel from the oc vo6. I had that running at 1890 and 1809 and 1674--no help
Just fastbooted the v01 so will see
Seems like a mounting issue, but stumped--maybe card is shot--
Anyone with similar issues or ideas your comments are welcome--not at phone replacement stage yet--
I do unmount properly
running v01 kernel for a day, no issues--1512mhz
did a good backup, all ok--no lost folders
when I open two windows panes on pc to copy bu to pc from phone and backup sdcard to phone issues start
the right pane which is the phone storage pane starts to lose the Removable Disk H disk icon, which is phone. Pane flashes and goes back and forth btw showing card contents and not showing H disk. Also showed empty H folder as nothing on card. I unmounted and remounted phone to pc and all was there. Unmounted and checked card contents with phone not connected to pc--all ok
Beginning to wonder if it is usb port problem--something is losing connection and/or unmounting remounting on its own. Maybe why some folders got corrupted before--still confused--
get popups on pc occasionally that state devise can perform better on a differenet port and sometimes device icon does not show when phone plugged in. I have changed ports, on my third one that only was used for mouse, will see. I have once or twice reinstalled htc drivers--
So i have kind of a situation,
i'm running cm-11-20141102-NIGHTLY-mint.
So, yesterday, i erased my internal storage (in Xperia T a.k.a SD card 0), to renew my device a little bit.
But after that i literally can't do almost anything. My camera crashes as soon as i start it, gallery says there isn't any external storage, can't make screenshots, can't put stuff into the phone. When i try to put something via usb trough my computer it says that the device stopped responding or was disconnected and when i try it strough the phone file manager it says that can't be done and that i need more permissions which is impossible because i already have all r/w permissions.
I'm kind of desesperate right now. I tried to wipe all the data, syste, storage, cashe. Tried to reflash my rom to different one. Even ran some permissions fixes. But nothing worked.
Forgot to mention, there isn't anything on the internal storage right now except the foulder lost+found which seems empty and the clockworkmod folder into, which is weird, can put things.
Is there someone who run into the same issue ?
Hi all,
I recently upgraded my Blaze to CyanogenMod (v11 nightly), now my apps (Camera, Swiftkey, etc.) do not recognize my SD card. I was running stock before this.
In File Manager:
- I can view the external sd card at \storage\sdcard1.
- It appears there is an internal sd card as well at \storage\sdcard0
- There is a folder called \sdcard which appears to link to \storage\sdcard0
- There is a folder called \external_sd which links to \storage\sdcard1
- sdcard0 is empty
I believe this to be a mounting issue, but if it is I cannot figure out the correct mount command in terminal emulator. Thanks for your help in advance.
I know this is nearly a year later, but I ran into this exact same problem while trying to flash an old phone. I was fortunately able to figure out to fix it, and I'm posting this for the sake of anyone else who might have trouble with it as well.
I initially noticed the problem while attempting to download and open files, which kept giving me an error that the files couldn't be located. Using a file manager, I noticed the directories that the OP described above. I believe the internal storage for the Blaze is 4GB, which is partitioned into two parts: one for app data, and the other for user downloads, pictures, etc. I realized that I only saw one of the partitions being displayed on the storage settings screen. Connecting via USB to my computer didn't show any internal storage; I couldn't access any files from the phone besides the ones on my external microSD card.
I booted into my previously-installed ClockworkMod v6.0.4.8 (by holding the volume keys + power, letting go of power after the Samsung splash screen) and went into the 'mounts and storage 'menu, scrolled down, and clicked on the 'mount USB storage' option while connected to my computer. Surprisingly, the internal storage was recognized (specifically the partition containing user data) and I was able to pull all of my files from there that I thought I previously wiped when I went to flash Cyanogenmod 10.2. Somehow, those files were still retained. Now, I'm not exactly sure what happened, but I think all this previous data, which didn't get wiped, prevented the new ROM from mounting this partition (sdcard0), and perhaps led to a path/directory issue when I went to download and open things from it. For some reason, as the OP noted, the sdcard0 storage showed up as empty when I used a file manager app to look inside.
I deleted the files from this mounted storage via my computer, then went back to the 'mounts and storage menu' and formatted the /storage/sdcard0 storage with the 'default' setting to wipe that partition. Then, I wiped user data, cache, and dalvik cache, and let my phone reboot. I did not reflash Cyanogenmod 10.2 after, and I was able to boot into my phone and setup my phone. (I'm not sure if you have to reflash your ROM, but I was able to boot up to a fresh setup without it). I am now able to see both internal storage partitions displayed on my storage setting, use a file manager to see the files in sdcard0, and download and open files.
Hope this helps.
Hello,
I have a problem after doing a reset of my phone.
It is rooted and has TWRP 2.8.6.2 installed.
I did a full wipe with TWRP including the internal storage.
But now, if i want to upload through TWRP's USB mount, i have to following issue.
I see the internal storage on my PC when both are connected by USB, it has the TWRP folder.
I tried to upload a small text file, that went OK, then i uploaded the new ROM file and after 5-8 sec i get a popup on the PC telling me the "device has either stopped working or has been disconnected".
When i boot the phone it is stuck on the boot logo, Samsung text.
Does anyone knows what i can do to fix this problem.
Thank you in advance.
I fixed the problem.
As i could use TWRP, but could not write a image to the internal storage i used a microUSB to SDcard plug that i picked up for 2 Euros at the local shop ( Dutch Blokker ).
I did a full wipe including the internal storage and installed the image from the SD2USB plug.
After installation i was again able to write to the internal storage.
Alto i seems like a permission issue, it was not.
I gave the internal storage folder full rights ( chmod 777 ) and even then i could not write.
I'm happy the new flash of XtreStoLite Deodexed Mod Edition 1.4a did the trick.
(Was really worried a 2 week old phone was bricked )
