I own a TF101 and this morning I wanted to install a custom rom because I want my TF101 to be fast as hell!
First thing I did was rooting my device with the latest version of Razorclaw. This worked flawlessly. After this I tried to enter recovery but I kept getting a large yellow exclamation mark. So I assumed (maybe wrong because it was better I think to FIRST ask here ) I needed custom recovery so I succesfully installed one-click-recovery-installer found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346180&highlight=recovery
After this I downloaded a custom rom, renamed it to UPDATE.ZIP and installed it on a FAT32 formatted SD card. After this I went to the recovery (POWER+VOL DOWN) and tried to install ZIP from sd. NO matter what I try, I keep getting a message that sd card is not or cannot be mounted. I tried to use 3 different SD cards and formatted it different ways with the W7 format option and SD formatter utility but it just does not work.
Now what........
thxz for help!
EDIT: for you info: the SD card is recognized ok in android itself.
looks like others are seeing similar. Looks like there might be a fix here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126477&page=2

Also future reference, no need to change to update.zip forflashing roms. Only radios, kernels etc. So rename to romname.zip and choose install from sdcard.
You have to do: Install zip from sdcard -> Choose zip from sdcard.
Or do a NVFLASH if possible
If your sdcard isn't mounted, then you might need to reformat or create a partition on it. I had the same issue when I first rooted and the card wasn't mounted, and it was fixed when I used gparted or whatever the hell partition program I came across to create a partition on the card. Didn't need to do that for another usd card I got, but that might solve your issue.
Is it on the MicroSD card, thats where I had to put mine.
Just installed cm-10.2-20130824-NIGHTLY-ville.zip. Turn on USB storage doesn't work - throbber keeps spinning forever. Logcat shows
Code:
E/MountService( 677): Failed to share/unshare
E/MountService( 677): com.android.server.NativeDaemonConnector$NativeDaemonFailureException: command '36 volume share /storage/sdcard0 ums' failed with '401 36 volume operation failed (No such device)'
Anyone seen this before?
I had this problem when I accidentally deleted the sd card during a poor flash attempt. Took me a really long time to fix, formatted the sd card in windows after mounting on twrp. Does the phone find the sd card?

Yep the sd card works fine in the phone, it's only when connecting via usb to my (Linux) laptop to transfer files that it fails to mount it.
(I would post to the CM10.2 thread but I don't have permissions...)
same issue here
I just installed cm-10.2-20130824-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip and not able to access not even the internal storage. I go to file manager, sdcard0 is selected at the top but no files are displayed.
I then wiped off everything and installed the previous build cm-10.2-20130823-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip . Same issue. Don`t know what to do..

Ok, so now i`m running the first build for CM 10.2 ( cm-10.2-20130819-NIGHTLY-i9100 ) same issue.
Basically when i open the camera it`s says No external storage available. If i go to Settings->Storage it shows Internal Storage 2Gb in size (this is where my apps are installed). Under that it shows SD Card with 16Gb (this is actually my external SD Card).
I really don`t understand what`s wrong here

I suspect you may have better luck in the Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 forum, as this one is for the HTC One S.
Unless you're trying to install the i9100 rom on the One S, in which case I'm surprised it even boots.

You could try mounting an ftp source to /mnt/sdcard and then sending a broadcast out to all apps that sd card has mounted(The broadcast that comes from the settings app that notifys other application that the sd card is mounted.)
---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------
You could also try using an otg cable and a flash drive.
Thanks for help but maybe i can't explain correctly my problem,all that I want is to have a working external micro sd with cyanogenmod
When I insert my micro sd my tablet sed me "sd is corrupt formatting?"Afterdo a format the tablet ask me again the same question:crying:
I'm looking for a solution for to have an external sd working with cyanogenmod 10,I read that I'm not the only with this problem,but any have a solution,please help me:fingers-crossed:
Thanks for your help e for your patience:silly:
Hi guys, I will like to know if it's safe to move TWRP folder from the internal storage to the external SD card to free space on the internal storage?
Will my device be able to boot to recovery when I transfer the TWRP folder to the external SD card?
Hi,
Would be best to know your device and exact model....so I can point you to the guys that know your device best....
But if you move it, twrp may not find it when you go to restore. If you can't get into your OS at the time, that could be an issue.
---------- Post added at 10:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 AM ----------
Actually, I believe it is possible to backup and restore to external SD. You may possibly need to mount the external sd if twrp doesn't already see it.
Moving it manually should work, as long as the folder structure is the same.
Just experiment with it and you should see. ?
Thank you. Thread closed.
Morning all
I updated my Z5 to MM 6.0, and i am no longer able to access my external SD card. Card is a Sandisk Ultra 32Gb CLass 10
It was NOT set up as shared storage before the update, and worked fine before the update.
I have taken the card out of the phone and re-inserted it to see if it'll detect it, but that restarts the phone and still does not show.
I've also taken the card out and put it in a card reader on my laptop, contents show fine as they were before the update, and even tried formatting to exFAT to see if it would detect it, but the phone still does not see it.
Is there a fix for this? I'm a bit annoyed at this, and will be thoroughly pissed off if it won't come back as i use it for camera and music storage to keep the phone memory as clear as possible.
EDIT: NOW A FIX

I got the same problem, but finally I found that my SD card path changed to /storage/D8F7-09FA, It makes some App can not find SD card, I think it's a bug in the new OS.

My SD Card is now named 2885-BD47 but I still am able to access all content
At least via File Commander and also via Gallery and also games...
Same problem here. In addition, I could not delete anything on the card through File Commander nor format the SD card in the android storage setting (got some sort of partition error). I also connect the card to PC through phone (with card inside the phone and set to MTP) and the PC could "delete" it but the files are actually still there after that when I open them through phone. I don't have a card reader with me at the moment so can't try that. The card was working fine before I upgraded to MM.
I reformatted mine after it was causing the phone to crash after the update. Try normal fat32 and make sure it's an active partition

Done that this morning, still no joy. Reads fine in a card reader, just not in the phone.
Oddly, it does not show at all like DMC_UNIVERSE post, i've been through all the folders and nothing shows with the contents of my SD card.
Really annoyed now
Sony have advised me to try the Software Repair via the Companion software. Still not working, and i've lost all my data. Now have to set up the phone from scratch again!!!
This is a Marshmallow issue, not a Sony one. It happened to me on my Nvidia Shield Tablet after it got the MM update too...

Connect the sdcard to the pc with sdcard usb adapter or reader. Try to wipe its contents, format it with default settings, select quick format. (backup whatever u need first).. After thats done insert the sdcard in to the phone and format it using the phone format sdcard option in settings>storage.
If for any reason after you reinsert your sd card back in to the phone all the contents on the sd card are still there, then simply put.. Your micro sd card is defect. Throw it out and buy a new one. Lol. This is alsoa common problem with sandisk ultra micro sd cards. Sandisk even admit it in a forum i read once, cant remember the link im afraid. But a simpke google search is your best friend for that .
Hope this cleared a few things up for u

Oh something i forgot to mention, if any of you have a custom recovery and rooted device, try this, (as it could be possible your device had put a protection/lock on the sdcard). Try to format the micro SD card within the Custom recovery instead if it doesn't work from within the settings menu.. you'll also have a bit more detail as to whats going on with the card. If custom recovery fails to format the card, then the card is literally defect. Buy a new one

I'm not sure as to what the MM update has to do with it, It could just be coincidence that your MicroSD card just happen to become defected at the time of the update...
although it seems like too much of a coincidence.. there is only 1 way to be Exactly sure, that it aint your MicroSD.. If you have any data on the card that isn't important. Then try this and post back your results....
1. Insert the microSD in to your MicroSD adapter or card reader on your PC..
2. Try to format the SD card within windows either as eXFAT or FAT32 (Try both) Inserting the card back in to the phone after each Format with both File Systems
3. Check the SD card in files within your phone with a file explorer and see if the Data on your SD card is STILL there, If it is.. The Card Is Defect/Damaged/Corrupt etc..
4. If all the data is gone, Then navigate to your Settings>Storage>Format SD CARD (using the phone/device to format it)
Let me know how you Go..

Cannot format through phone like I said in my previous post.
Tried on pc and completed the formating but the files were still there after that. Files are still accessible through pc and phone after the formatting.

Im afraid your sdcard has forsaken you.. I just happen to still have the sdcard that belonged to my mate, and i tried formatting, wiping contents through phone and pc. Even though pc allows you to format, it actually doesnt do anything. Try a new sdcard mate

There have many threads and discussions on the sandisk forums with many people having the same issues with these csrds.. Some people even bought 4-5 of them and had to send them all back to sandisk and get them replaced with working cards.. Apparently these cards do not handle being formatted too many times all that well.. Infact, people have been claiming that when they format it once or twice the card still works fine. Then after the 4-5th time, they just give out and just stop working all of a sudden.. Here is the link to the forum
http://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Mobile...sk-Ultra-64gb-MicroSD-Wont-format/td-p/284884
One user claims he used this method and it seemed to have fixed the problem.

I had the same problem as everyone else here on the forum. Nothing worked but this.
You have to format the card using Windows Command level option;
1. Run and type "cmd"
2. Then type; "format L:"
3. Get a cup pf coffee and relax
*
Notes
** L = your sd card drive letter
** don't use quotation marks
** there is a space between format and the drive letter
------------------------------
Give that a try and let me know how it goes..
Good luck guys..
EDIT: I am infront of my PC now, so I am going to try format it this way through CMD PROMPT (aka MS-DOS), and because its a 64GB card, it will take a little bit of time.. So far it's been going smoothly and it's at 13% (roughly 1% every 45sec - 1min 10sec).. It must be doing a thorough format rather than a quick format.. Let's just wait and see if all ends well..
I Will post the results / outcome once format is complete and after I test it in one of my devices..
Edit: no good.

ReEdit:: Well, the good news is, my marshmallow Z5 detects and accesses my 32GB card with proper file pathing, rw access etc..
Maybe taking your sdcard out while updating to MM could have prevented a file pathing corruption, renaming.
But @ the person who's sdcard just stopped working altogether, but you're card done for man. Funny thing is, its mainly sandisk cards. I'm not a fan of sandisk, they are too unreliable IMO..
Right, after a lengthy formatting session using windows and CMD prompt, neither worked (exFAT or FAT32).
I downloaded SD Card Formatter as suggested by this post http://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Mobile...tra-64gb-MicroSD-Wont-format/m-p/285302#M1787, and tried formatting with this (link to format tool: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/index.html).
I tried 3 times with this, the only option that worked was to use the FULL (OVERWRITE) option within the software. Took a while, but once done, the phone discovered the card when it was inserted back into the phone. It is now recognized by all apps, and for good measure, i ran a format of the SD card from the phone's storage options in the settings menu. No prior contents showing, so all is good.
I've since copied the contents back onto the card, and they are now visible.
Thanks guys for your help!

Glad to see you go it sorted out and working mate..
Just something to remember for future reference, windows disk manager wont allow formatting anything bigger than 30GB to fat32.. You need to use a program like easeus partition master when doing so..
But im sure you're already aware of that .
Anyway. Glad you got it sorted anyway mate..
Well, i tried again using the tool provided in the link. Its a no go. The card is a dud.. I hate sandisk devices i tell ya.. Lol
same happened to me also the Play Services error, ended up reformatting the sd and clean install MM, all workin great now
i found a solution to your problem
try formatting your sd card to ur other phone and try it again on your z5
just sharing my knowledge hope it work
