Could anyone give me a hand and post their vold.fstab? My external SD will not mount..... and before the flames start I have changed mmc2 to mmc1.... and yes I did save it.
For what its worth I have also Odin to stock froyo, heimdall to stock gb, heimdall entropy dd.... flashed community kernel, infusion a2 kernel, entropy DD kernals (3/4/12 & 11/27/11) flashed Zeus & R3velation... and finally heimdall to gb then heimdall entropy DD ... then flashed Zeus again... and edited vold.fstab to mmc1 saved and rebooted.... still no external SD....
I wiped and formatted the SD (fat32) on my laptop as well....
I'd just like to see the vold.fstab from someone's infuse with working external SD....that way I can compare and try to get to the bottom of this myself without a huge back and forth thread Thanks in advance. Flame away.

it's on the bottom of my vagabond op.
fwiw, you flashed the comm kernel onto a gb rom..may have borked your partition...start over?
Thanks for the reply Qkster! So I used heimdall to gb... and this time I did flash the second time with flash bootloaders checked. I then flashed the heimdall entropy dd kernel package (yours). BTW thanks again for the vold.fstab info... it matched my changed version.
Something strange I noticed in CMW.... if I go to Mounts and storage and try to mount /sd-ext I get
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
(File exists)
Error mounting SDEXT:!
Any ideas? I'm thinking something is borked somewhere.... lol... obviously
I don't mess around too much with the mount settings.
Some may be incorrect, idk.
I only use it to format certain things when installling a rom.
The mmc2 mmc1 switch occurs when you switch kernels from different source.
Froyo comm kernel are based on att stock
Our current gb kernels are based on rogers' source, their sd access is switched
When you can't access your microSD, check for the change in mmc2 mmc1

Get this... I get the above error when I go into CWM ... advanced....wipe dalvik cache.... as soon as I press enter (power button) to select wipe dalvik cache I get the error... crazier still if I select "no" after that it'll display "dalvik cache wiped"....
Something strange is afoot ... not sure if it is the left foot or the right... but it seems to be unaffected by wipes, flashes to stock (with bootloaders), etc....

Well i got hold of another phone with a microSD slot.... The card won't mount in that phone either....
Word to the wise.... Don't be an idiot like me.... ALWAYS REMOVE your sd card before using heimdall or odin!!!!!!!! Im guessing that's why the op's say to....
Crawling back in my hole now... Thanks again QKster!

Yeah... I tried that today. It mounts fine in 2 different pc's. I formatted it and tried it in the phone...no go. I used diskpart clean function and installed it... no go. I used diskpart clean and formatted it and installed it... no go. Works fine with my computers but no dice in the phone(s). I might play around with it in my linux pc and see what happens.... other than that I got nothing.
BTW I flashed vagabond tonight... not bad, not bad Though I'm going to stay on the entropy kernal

Yeah, that's my preference as well. I don't use HDMI, so I run Entropy's test kernel.
Imo, running with the stock kernel is intended for those who aren't flash addicts , love their HDMI, or for us to put it on phone of other people we may know that want some features but we don't want to come back to us for issues.

First off, I have never had a rom for this phone that works well for a long period of time. Every single one slows down eventually and will get random shut downs and other problems. This time, I decided to reflash it to a fresh start and put Valhalla Black edition on it. And I mean completely fresh. I backed up my few files, formatted the sd card, factory reset the phone, and flashed stock KD1 in Odin. Up until this point, everything had been going perfectly fine and the ROM installed just fine. At this point, I put Valhalla onto the sd card to flash and boot up into CWM. This is where I am lost. First, I go straight to "install zip from sd card" and almost get ready to install, but then remember to double check my mounts. Mounts good, but as soon as I select "install from sd card again", I get the error that the sd card can not be mounted. I restarted the recovery and tried to install, and I got all the way to selecting "yes" to install the ROM. But still, Error: can not mount sd card.
So basically I have figured out that I can navigate to the rom and attempt to install before I get the error, or I can just check my mounts and not even get past "install zip from sd card" before I get the error and have to restart the recovery. Could this just be the card's problem and I need a new one, or is it something else? I need help, I am completely lost at this point.
Thanks guys.
EDIT: I may want to add that this same sd card completely crapped out on me about a month ago and I had to reformat it to get it working again.
Also, does anyone else always have their roms slow down after awhile? I would say that the average time for one of my roms to start getting random restarts and constant app closings is about one months time.
Format it on the computer. Fat 32
If that doesn't work try using Panasonics SD card formatting utility.
If that doesn't work maybe try changing voodoo.
Okay I am finished cutting and pasting what I found regarding this issue using search.

Ok. Also, I have a question for you. I noticed that you are using your device on AT&T. Did you have constant notifications popping up about a Tmobile contacts backup or anything else? That is another thing that I need to find a way to get rid of.
I am on t-mobile. But I uninstalled t-mobile back up and use google. The Panasonic sd card format worked for somebody else. So did following the gb starter pack. There are a lot of posts regarding this issue. Different things have worked for different people.

Thanks for all the replies! Ill attack the phone again in awhile and see what I can do.
I had this problem too after a failed restore sent my phone into a bootloap. When I odin'd a new kernel, it wouldn't mount, even though I had CWM. It wouldn't work until I odin'd a new rom. I used FB's starter pack and it fixed it perfectly.
Also, about the T-mobile contacts, it's annoying as hell because I don't have T-Mobile either. Once you load a KJ6 rom, use FB's debloater to get rid of T-Mobile contacts backup. You will notice a large amount of ram is freed up from deleting all of the t-mobile items.
Also, if you are starting from KD1 froyo, you need to follow FB's starter pack to make sure you get the proper gingerbread boot loaders on your phone.
Your SD card may be going bad, is there another one you can try?
I've had the same rom for months and haven't had issues or slowdowns. It might be caused by a specific app you are using. Though it may not be a bad idea to go into CWM every now and then and wipe cache, dalvik, and fix permissions.
Fat fingers the touch recovery......I just killed the internal SD,
Can I just reinstall ROM ? or do I need to do something else, first...
I tried to reinstall rom from external but stuck on boot animation, but not boot looping.
Thanks
Ignore!
Its almost like it cant find the internal card.
I tried to instal from internal SD...just to see if I can see any directories
and say no files found, and kicks me out.
When I do mount USB storage, only my EXT shows up, no internal no longer pops up.....am I screwed ?
How can I confirm my internal SD card is mounted/unmounted properly.
Thanks for any help
Can you get into recovery or download mode?
If you can get into download mode I would probably just reflash stock firmware and start over.
I tried that, I did ODIN to stock, it loaded the bootloader, but was stuck on boot loops again.
As far as I can tell, phone isnt seeing the internal SD card. Or I am missing the steps to make the phone see it via clock work.
I can access CWM, and DL mode.... in CWM, I can do mount USB, only my EXT shows up.
I format the internal sd(emmc) before every rom flash. Just install rom from external sd card. There is nothing left on the emmc, you wiped it
I think I m hosed....
I think something went wrong with format.
I tried to reinstall ROM, and during install
error: cant mount csdard.adnoird.secure etc...
what version of cwm?
It touch clock work mod recovery. v.5.8.1.3
Error message is

I don't use that recovery. I use 5.8. I don't use internal to do anything, I always use external to flash from and store my important stuff. After a while of flashing things the emmc gets jammed up with nonsense.
Just use 5.8 touch, the have to mount and put hidden process folders in that version you have sucks.
Any chance you can link me to the recovery you use, I want to make sure I have the same one.

The 5.8 is actually a hercules version for the tmo variant. The sk8er 5.5 or whatever it is, is a version adapted specifically for the rocket, and supposedly it performs the wipe and fix functions correctly. As long as you set it up right and put the hiddenprocess folder and mount sd every time you use it. Last I knew it still won't see both sd cards at the same time. I just don't like dicking around with all that stuff.
Sk8er could probably give you a better explanation of them, I think it even mentions it throughout his thread. I have no problems with the 5.8 version and I couldn't recommend the OP on how to navigate the version he had because I don't use it. So I just moved him to the version I use. Lol
i used 5.8.1.3 and have never had any problems.... i even wipe emmc between flashes. should i not be using this one? how can i get the other?

Is it getting detected in your PC (Using a card reader or adapter) Is it getting detected in a Digital camera? Just go ahead and Check to be absolutely sure. If it's not, then, my thoughts are, the card is corrupted. But as a last effort, delete any partitions that you made (use minitool partition wizard) and format the entire card (use minitool or use a digital camera) or do a low level format with any low level formatting tool, if required.

I already did it using EASE US partition manager , and it gets detected the problemo starts when i open the drive ,if you havent read my post ,y sd card works 100% if i use any FROYO rom it only sucks on GB and ICS (but it used to work before)....and i dont have a card reader if possible i will test it ...since it is working in froyo i cannot come to a conclusion
AND my sd card work 100% when its inside my phone(FROYO,GB,ICS)
I'm new to the SGS4G (been rooting for years since the early CM days on my G1), so please pardon my ignorance here. I'm unable to mount my SD Card with CWM. Yes, my card is formatted as FAT32 and is known-good in other devices.
If I boot into GB (VUVKJ6), then it has no problems accessing the SD Card locally or in Mass Storage mode via USB to my PC.
To get to the point where I'm at now, I followed this (to make sure I was fully stock KJ6) and then followed this beginning at step 6 (to get CWM on there so I can flash ROMs) but I get stuck at step 11 since I can't mount SD-Card.
I've tried at various stages with both red and blue CWM without luck. I've tried simply letting it mount it itself by trying to choose an update.zip from the SD Card and I've also gone into the Mounts menu to try and manually mount it.
Any thoughts?
-----------------------------
UPDATE: Solution was to format the SD Card within Android and on this specific device. I had cards formatted within Android on 3 different devices and they all had this same problem.

It doesn't work this way. When I go to choose my update.zip to flash, it errors:

Sorry, old terminology. "An update.zip" essentially means any zip flashable in CWM whether it's a ROM, gapps, a kernel, etc.

Weird. I wonder if it would help if you copy all of the files from the SD card to your computer, go into Settings, SD card and phone storage, Unmount SD card, and Format SD card, if it would then read it in CWM?

Apples to apples. You mention gapps. Are you trying to get CM7 flashed? Or a custom GB ROM flashed? Gremlin Remover is a one-click odin and will work with what steps you have mentioned you took thus far.

This will probably work the best but isn't this done with odin... If I read correctly the Op used heimdall

For everybody mentioning gremlin, can you please hit me up with a link? I want to make sure I pull the most up-to-date one and I've not seen one recently but could have missed it.

At this point, I'm just trying to get CM7 + GApps. Doesn't matter what I'm trying to flash - Recovery can't mount the SD Card whether manually or automatically. That's the problem.

I used Heimdall to get to stock and then was using Odin to get CWM + CM7 on there. I'm at the point where I have CWM but cannot get CM7 because of the SD Card issue.

Oh ok... I'm sorry never had that problem before... Then only thing I can suggest is probably start from scratch again or get and us a different sd card

I have tried a few different SD Card. Same problem.

Weird. I wonder if it would help if you copy all of the files from the SD card to your computer, go into Settings, SD card and phone storage, Unmount SD card, and Format SD card, if it would then read it in CWM?

Not tried this yet. Will try this now with a couple of the cards I've tried.
By the way, thanks everybody for trying to help me! I really do appreciate it!

And what do you know? Of all things, this was the problem and I verified it with all 3 uSD cards I've tried! They've all been formatted via my old TBolt, a Fascinate, and Droid X and worked just fine in those devices.
Thanks for suggesting such an obvious and simple thing to try!

No worries; glad it worked
Please help. Same problem here. Cant mount sd card it says. What can i do?
My ROM does not have a format button in the settings, is there another way to format the internal SD space within Android itself?

Quite possibly, kinda. Are you rooted? If so, what recovery are you using? Most recoveries allow you to do this.
Why do u need to format within android? Why not just format from your pc?
Using SeanZ's SkyICS 4.2F r2 v6B ROM / XDA Premium
Boot into recovery, select Mounts and storage then format sdcard/ or emmc whichever one you are wanting to format

this is correct, or as an alternative u could either a) hook it up to a computer, mount it and format, or b) use adb, but I recommend either a or the method gs2usr suggested
im gonna post in this thread instead of making a new one since im having a similar issue.
In CW recovery it'll tell me it cant mount my sd-ext and as well give me an error when trying to install a custom rom from my emmc, so do i need to do a format of both of those in order to get a custom rom to finally install again?
i've had this error ever since i switched back to rogers stock 4.0.4 to try it out
I'm getting errors in cwm too. How can I do it in ADB? Macs don't do fat32 correctly and I don't have a Windows machine.

Figured it out. Please try this and see if it fixes your internal aswell.
So go ahead if you don't have it, ADB install a copy of Root Explorer.
Go into the emmc folder and give it read and write permissions.
Now, in the settings, under storage, it should let you reformat the disk again and you should be okay.
I have no idea what's up with CWR, but we were told not to use it anymore on our Kindles due to it messing with partitions. But this is how I just fixed my Skyrocket, just in time for the fireworks tonight.
when in cwm, mount the emmc first
