I did have a backup, I tried backing up but it still fails that could not mount...

Odin the stock tar that should sort you out

Had a similar issue. Unlocked skyrocket kept freezing and while scanning the SD card it got stuck. The same SD card worked on my other samsung phone and a new one got the same thing
Both SD cards were at some point formatted by the skyrocket
Phone was returned because of this and other freezing issues
I live in Europe in case it is related
I hope you get your SD card issue fixed and then please post what happened
Thanks

[Q] Triumph Sd card Strange errors, mounting issues, help?

Long story about what's going on,
I had to get my first triumph replaced about 2 weeks ago. I had backed it up with a nandroid and titanium backup. I procceded to install the nandroid backup on the new phone. Everything went well for a while untill one day when the phone just shut itself off. When i turned it back on, there was no sd card mounting notification, and it said that there was no sd card in the phone. CWM recovery also wouldn't read it. After having done random combinations of repartioning the sd card, formating the sd card, using a different sd card, unrooting, factory restoring, i seem to be able to get it to work for a little. What happens, however, is that after i restore from nanadroid or titanium backup it works for a little, then turns itself off again and the card wont mount! This is really starting to suck any help is apperciated
Thanks,
A guy pulling his hair out. ._.
Extra info: Rooted with gingerbreak 1.20, not sure what cwm version but it is from the all things about root guide. Just factory restored again and it showed up for a little then i restarted and it was gone again. It seems to have fits on whether or not to recognize the sd card.
seeing as no one seems to have any help to give, I guess i will cave in and go through virgin mobiles support to give a repalcement =.= If i do ever find a fix myself, i'll go ahead and post it for anyone else who might have it as well.
dont know how to delete posts >.<

Can't Get SD Card to work

Well, I am trying to get a 64GB SanDisk Ultra Mobile card to work, when I put it in my laptop with the adapter it sees it, I can format it and even copy files to and from it. However once I put it in my phone, it get's corrupted or as the phone calls it, damaged. The phone does read the 16GB card I still have from my OG Droid but I want to use the 64GB card, anyone have any clue what's going on here?

Yes, but it just soft reboots. I am using aerovan's CM10.1 build, I wonder if that's the problem.

Now you're talking, cm10 is very tricky and depended on how and what's on your phone during the install. Either reflash back to stock or reflash cm10 definitly will resolved your issue.

Well, flashed back to a TW based ROM, it worked, reflashed 10.1, damaged again. Definitely the ROM.

hahaha, I told you so. cm10 is...very tricky, some time you may lose contact with your sim card...all kind of weird issues. Well atleast you know what's up.

Ok, so still having problems. Even formatted on PC or through a TW ROM it won't recognize the SD Card in TWRP, CWM or any CM ROMs. TW ROMs will recognize it and format it and use it. Not sure what the issue is, the weirdest part is TWRP and CWM not seeing it but having TW ROMs work fine with it. Oh well, will keep at it.
external sd cards
I was wondering why these custom roms and external sd cards don't seem to get along well, though I haven't tested smaller sd cards, because all I have right now is a sandisk 64gb, but is it across the board for all sd cards for all roms, or just high capacity cards, I have a gs3 verizon and have tried the superchargewiz, and the liquidsmooth jellybean, neither of them read my 64gb card, but conversely when I rolled back to my stock rooted rom I got the insufficent space error. (frustrating) so any information to help out a noob thank you
From what I remember, you need to format as FAT32 for CM roms, as they can't read exFAT. Windows either has trouble or will not format a 64 GB sdcard as FAT32 natively. Google and download SDformatter, and use it to format to FAT32.

[Q] No Sim Card Error

I did some research and didn't find a problem similar to mine.
I have a Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket that's 1 year, 1 week old today (so out of the warranty period).
I rooted it, have nova launcher, cwrm, and am running stock ICS on AT&T.
Earlier today, I noticed that I no longer had service which then went to No sim card inserted. I thought maybe it had gotten dislodged but that was not the case. I tried a factory reset and then a restore using crrm to a earlier date and still the same error. Even after the factory reset it had no sim card as the error.
My next step was okay my sim card is corrupt or something. Went to the AT&T store and got a brand new one and it still had the same error. this led me to believe it might be a hardware problem. I think I ruled out the kernel and the modem not communicating correctly because i'm not running any roms (nor have I ever on this phone) as well as tried to factory wipe and tried to put a fresh ICS stock via kies.
Any ideas as to why my phone still says no sim card? the sim card works as i'm using my old LGcu920 at the time of writing this with no problems. thanks in advance for any help.
flash my efs fix and then use Odin to restore GB. Reboot twice and then use Odin to flash ICS.

Before you flash that you might wanna try this. Take out your battery. Wait five minutes. Hold the power key(with the battery out) for 20 or 30 seconds. Then reboot. I've never seen anyone try this on the Rocket but I have seen it work on other phones.

[Q]Why wont my sd card mount anymore

So today my ext.64 GB SD won't mount anymore.I can see it from twrp and I even restored a backup from it but my tablet won't see it anymore.This is the second time in 2 months that this has happened.I keep buying them from best buy and returning the broke one.I was uninstalling some apps and my tablet froze and rebooted then when it finished I couldn't see ext.card anymore.I've tried rebooting,cold boot and even restored from a backup I had from a week ago and still doesn't mount.I am using a app called foldermount to be able to play games from the ext.SD card.Alls I have on the card is all my game data.
Do you think my SD card went bad already after 2 months? I also wanna know if this is happening to others or just me.Also if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate the help.I know there is a file that keeps a log of when you boot so if anyone knows where it is or how to read it I can post it if you want to look at it.Thanks
Mine did something similar but twrp wont read it so i cant reflash a rom? Im using area51 twrp and stock deodexed rom, ran great for couple yrs then just started glerpin out?

Galaxy S3 - need help with custom rom - can't boot

Hi all
I hope that I am posting in the correct place
I need help with my Galaxy S3 SGH-T999
Recently the phone died on me, it was stock rom and with the updates through some of the apps, the phone stopped working correctly. I don't use the phone for making calls, etc, but need it for pictures and a few other apps. The phone is from T-mobile.
I tried to reset the phone and that worked until all the updates were back on and then back to the same problem.
So I decided to put on a custom rom on the phone.
I have tried the following roms:
cm-14.1-20161225-NIGHTLY-d2tmo
I9300XXUGNB6_I9300OJVGNB3_I9300XXUGNA8_HOME
RevolutionaryS5-V3
Slim-d2tmo-6.0.1.alpha.0.1-UNOFFICIAL-20160516-1346
I first installed CWM recovery and then transferred the roms over to the external sd car (also the internal card), went to boot manager (vol up) and installed the files.
It looked like the installation worked but when selecting reboot, the phone would not come back on.
I then loaded up Kies and reset the phone back to factory defaults and only then does the phone load back up after reboot.
Every time I try the custom rom - I run into the same problem
At first I thought the phone was bricked and found info about the jtag and then found something about using an SD card with the following image installed on it - tmobile-T999_4.3_debrick
With the SD card in the phone I can boot to either menus and also able to get the phone to boot to the slim-d2tmo rom. But when I pull the SD card, the phone won't boot. Nothing, no power, nada
I am not sure what I did wrong, followed the direction on the site and thought I did it correctly.
Not sure if I deleted some file, or partition needed or what. I would greatly appreciate some help with this.
Also I would like a custom rom that is stable and fast. I don't need all the bells and whistles but one thing I would like and that is for the camera to be able to take pictures using voice. I know the stock rom allows for this. Not essential but preferred.
Please help with detailed instructions.
Thanks in advance.
After writing this I just loaded up T999UVUEMJC_T999TMBEMJC_T999UVUEMJC_HOME.tar and managed to get the phone back up and running. Then tried the cm-14.1-20161225-NIGHTLY-d2tmo - which I kinda like but it will not boot up without the SD card in. I can manage to get the phone booted with the SD card and get into the new custom rom, but I have to keep pulling the battery, insert the SD card and then try to boot. Don't think it should work like this
Please help.

You did the right thing with the SD card, the issue with it not booting with SD card removed is not an issue, that's the way its supposed to work. After restoring boot with the SD card you've got to do a few other steps to correct the device so that it boots without SD card and then you've got to return the SD card to normal function to use it as storage again.
There's a thread in the Verizon Galaxy S3 I535 forum for unbricking with the SD card and the further instructions to restore full functional boot without SD card.

I appreciate the help. This should work on my phone even thought it is a T-Mobile and it is a SGH-T999 ?
Any chance you know of the link to fix the booting issue?
I really need to get this sorted out. I am about to trash the phone and get some cheap $80 best buy special just to use the apps I need.

The method is the same, you just use your debrick.img for your device instead of the Verizon debrick.img.

So I feel like such a dufus.
I think I know what I did wrong. After going back and forth reading everything, which all looked like what I had originally, I realized that everyone was talking about loading the zip files from the sd card. Thought I did this, but what I was doing was loading them from the external SD card.
So after having put the stock rom back on the phone (and basically gave up) I decided this morning to try one last time.
I downloaded:
OCT-N-WEEKLY-20170127-2232-d2tmo
open_gapps-arm-7.1-micro
Connected the S3 to my PC and copied both files to the phone. Did not have the external SD card plugged in.
Then went to boot menu (vol up) and cleared the cache, davik and data. Installed from zip (local phone this time) and within 10 minutes (or less) the phone was up and running without any issues.
BAM - awesome.
Seemed too good to be true but worked like a charm.
I wonder if that was the problem with any of the other roms I tried?
Anyway, thanks to all for your help.

I don't know what you were having issues with but I've always flashed my ROMs from extsdcard. Unless I'm missing your meaning.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
Then maybe it were the roms I was using. All the roms I tried would not boot my phone after installation. I had to add the following file to my external SD card -tmobile-t999_debrick
This was the only way I could get the phone to boot back up after I installed the roms.
Or maybe I was using the wrong roms - I have no idea.
I guess my thought process was not correct and that you don't have to put the roms on the internals storage and can use the external sd card to install the roms?

Typically, you install custom recovery then root then place new ROM on extsdcard then flash the ROM in recovery from extsdcard. Its actually recommended to keep your ROM zips on external if you have it instead of internal because if internal gets wiped or corrupted then you've lost your ROM zip. It's also recommended to create and store your nandroid backups on extsdcard.
