So I've been running a CM10 nightly build version for awhile now. No issues whatsoever. However after making no ROM changes to my phone for several weeks, I wokeup this morning with my phone auto rebooting every time it tried to activate the SD card at first boot.
What I've done so far:
Backed up all my photos from the SD card by booting into recovery
Attempted format the SD and all formattable mounts.
Wiping all caches.
Resetting to factory defaults
Recalling on my backup restore point (failed)
What I'm running into:
The SD Card can not be modified. I've tried running the "Fix permissions" utyx on Clockwork recovery, and it is failing. I can't format it, I can't delete anything from it, and I can't add anything to it. Very unusual. Is this a hardware failure? That's the direction I am currently leaning toward.
Thank you.
Just updating on my progress with diagnosis.
Clarification: Mounting the SD to USB in Recovery 'does' allow files to be pulled off. Deleting files from the mounted drive from within windows makes it appear like the files are deleted. Remounting the SD Card show's the files have returned.
Attempted Troubleshooting: Mounted SD card to PC, and ran formatting from PC side. Format, upon reaching 100% says the format has failed. SD Card becomes unreadable from the PC. Dismounting from USB and navigating to "Install zip" show's as no files. Then performing an SD Formatting from recovery on the phone returns all files as if a format has never been run. I am not attempting to format from PC again.
Very frustrating. Second format completed successfully. unmounting the sd card from pc and remounting show'd a clean sd card. Going to "install from sdcard" show'd a blank file system. Unmounting the SD Card from the phone internally via recovery, and remounting it returns all files back to the sd card.
I almost feel like the "read only" switch has somehow been tagged physically on the card.
Edit: don't want to bump my own thread for this partial update. I've had 0 success. The only thing I can think of trying is loading a different recovery engine (maybe TWRP), however I can recall the exact commands and steps to be able to push something like that.
Short and sweet "I think she's dead Jim", unless someone has some input.

I have a rooted htc evo and i rooted using unrevokd 3.3 and my phone is like 5 days old.
My problem is i was messing around at the i guess boot-loader screen and accidentally selected recovery and now every time i reboot my phone my sd card says preparing like normal then a couple minutes later it says( mounted readonly the sd card has an unexpected problem. tapping) i cant read the rest. Also when i select report error is says( clockworkmod recovery v3.0.0.2 /tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log.
"please help" and i also just click fix permission n it said done what does that mean and do?
"Also, when i fix permission it still say mounted readonly and then i tap the notification then it goes away and sometimes pop back up saying mounted readonly
Take the card out and reboot.
The cards flash memory may have an error, try another sd card. You may have to reformat it.
ok i will try this out i will let you know how this go.
hey i think it worked n i just reformatted my sd card...but thanks and i will keep you updated.
::::::::ROBLEM::::::::::::
ok, just posting this in case anyone has a similar problem and does a search so that this will come up for them.
My phone died in the middle of booting up while it was doing a media scan.
Upon plugging the phone in and letting it charge for a while, I turned it on and the sd card wasn't recognized. I rebooted to recovery and it would also not mount there.
I tried formatting from recovery with extreme FAILURE LOL.
SD card reads fine from PC through a usb adapter.
Formatted SD card from pc and tried it in the phone again and still would not recognize it through several different recoveries or in android.
FIX::::::::::
So what I ended up having to do was connect the phone to the computer through the supplied USB cable.
Odin the charge.pit file make sure repartition is checked
Odin a full rom combo of any type, I used ep1q bloated.
Then booted into recovery and everything was successful in mounting the microsd card. Installed the rom of my choosing and it recognized it fine in android again as well.
Just figured some other person may have this problem again. I figured my microSD went tits up, but it was fine when used in the PC. Thanks for listening.
What my solution to this was
Shortly after putting my 16gb micro SD card from my Evo3d to EvoLTE, it wouldnt mount. stick it in, "mounting SD" and immediately "Removing SD" etc. Same thing with another android phone while their SD mounted fine.
Plug into windows and there is no SD to mount so i tried a microSD to SD converter card in windows and after very long delays i would see my file structure but nothing copied over.
Heirens Boot CD (i had 15.1) booted into the linux recovery/backup mode and was able to copy from SD to the HDD. Not sure if i'll try to wipe and re-use or just replace the 16GB card nor if it will mount at that point. Its still copying various folders but i got all my DCIM (4gb worth) back so i'm a happy camper either way.
Just thought i'd share how i got my data back at least
I have a 64gb ultra card that caused my phone to reboot. It wiped itself of all my needed emergency data (nandroids, Rom install files)
The reboots started randomly after not changing anything for weeks. I did my usual nandroid back up using twrp then rebooted the system. On my way to work the phone rebooted 5 times in a row so I tried to wipe cache and Dalvik to fix it... But it didn't help.
I wiped everything and was going to do a fresh install but my memory card was missing my files (folders were there but data is missing in folders
Luckily I had a old install file for acr that I used for emergency. After fresh install it still was rebooting... I removed the memory card and it has been without issues.
Anyone have any advice to why this would happen? Is it just the phone hates exFAT file system? Or do I have a faulty card...
I'm currently formatting (full format not quick format) the card but I learned my lesson to not back up to external storage

Had a similar issue. Only noticed it when I went to flash a new kernel and my phone would boot up fine, then reboot constantly at right about 1 minute and 30 seconds exactly each time. Not sure if it is the SD card failing or what...
That said, i noticed as well that my nandroids that would usually restore fine would now fail. I ended up deleting my back ups since they weren't working, then backing up all other content to my PC. Formatted SD Card in the phone, and everything seems to be fine now. All other files on my SD Card seemed fine, but im backing up from now on to my internal memory.
Had similar recurring issues with a Sandisk 128g card. Had formatted FAT32 as well as exFAT and was finding that I'd do a Nandroid, reboot, then the handset would report that the sdcard was unformatted. I'm still not quite sure that I've got things figured out, but I did a complete reformat (long version, not quick) on my Windows 7 PC and then inserted the card into the M8. Rebooted once and the handset still recognized, so rebooted into recovery and did a Nandroid. The recovery recognized the nandroid, and I rebooted to ROM one more time. Everything was fine.
I do keep a backup of my sdcard contents (have had more than one card go south through the years); restored the backup and reinserted the card and looks okay now.
I can't say whether FAT32 is more stable than exFAT because I've had it happen with both formats on this particular card. If you do have recurring issues with the card after complete reformatting, I would suggest a warranty return. (I did that with an older 64g card recently that failed seriously --- the microcontroller was making the card suddenly get red hot.)
Sony Z3 - SD Card Problem
I have a Sony Z3, rooted, with dual recovery (philz/twrp).
So every time I boot up is says "Damaged SD card. SD card is damaged. try reformatting it." I could still access all of my music that was on the card so i don't think it was really broken. But I formatted it any. But It still says exactly the same message and I am unable to mount it on the options, I cannot see it on the pc either.
The sd card is a sandisk extreme, which I have taken out and put into a nokia lumia to test and it works fine so the card is ok.
I am using this rom: "[Rom][5.1.1][D6603]Pre-Rooted + XZDR 2.8.21 [23.4.A.0.546] * Nordic *" / http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/rom-pre-rooted-xzdr-2-8-21-t3162851
I can't seem to access the recovery either It may be because those files were on the sd!
Anyone know what the hell is going on?
Well, I have completely restored the phone to factory settings, and still it cannot do anything with the card. i know it works on another phone so i might have to send the phone back
Flash SuperSU again... I had the same issue with dual recovery and SD Card, flashing SuperSU again solved my problem.
I've also moved the folder XDRecovery (or something like that) to the internal memory. Everything is working fine so far.
Have you tried fixing it from the recovery menu? I had the same issue and I formated the SD in my computer then, then in my phone (none of them worked) and lastly from the recovery menu and it seemed to work for me.
had the same issue...just reformatted on PC using hp disk format utility and uncheck quick format, set the format type to exFAT. THen insert into phone and it works fine...of course evrytime u reboot phone youll get the same error...just unmount the sd card and reinsert it while the phone is ON. it will work..seems like a bug to me...but dont worry ur sd card is fine.
For me re-installing the XZDualRecovery with the Windows installer fixed the issue!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/help/z3-sd-card-recognized-reboot-t3170817
i had this issue several times, i've just reflashed the XZDualRecovery to fix it... (no need to wipe anything)
I was reorganizing files on my computer and sd card. For this i had to delete lots of stuff, etc. MTP was being slow so i decided to remove the micro sd card and use a card reader instead to speed things up.
Something screwed up real bad. Now the card is locked. When i plug in the card reader i can see and read the files, i can delete them, delete everything, but when i plug in the card back again - as if nothing happened.
The native format from windows explorer fails to start. It reports an error: The device, \Device\Harddisk5\DR20, has a bad block.
The diskpart utility fails as well with an error: Cannot zero sectors on disk \\?\PhysicalDrive3. Error code: [email protected]
SD Memory Card Formatter from sdcard org - this program succeeds in format without errors, but when i unplug in insert card - everything is the same
The Disk Wipe - Portable v1.7 program succeeds in format, but again - when reinsert the card - everything is back as it were.
When i reinsert the card in the phone, the phone will initiate a 'check for errors', take a lot of time, won't report any errors found and eventually the thing says card is mounted. But when i attempt to access it - the File Manager hangs and needs to close. If i try to unmount the card, the process take a lot of time so i just unplug it.
What can be done? Never had problems with this card, this thing occurred just now. It's unbelievable.
EDIT: Disk Wipe failed as well - said all NTFS boot sectors unwriteable.
Same here!

I have this exact same problem. 8Gb SD Card on Card reader, something went worng, now the files that are there, never change. I can't put new files, if I delete old ones they come back after un-plug and plug-in again.
I was able to make "something" happen, after a while, I reformatted it in exFAT and then again to FAT32. The Old drive name did change to the new one I've selected, and the files are gone, but now it's completely empty it says all the space 7,50 Gb is free, but I can't access it, nor can I clean the partition table using Diskpart, I get Access Denied (as admin and readonly=no) error and on Event Viewer I get error [email protected]
Anyone? Please? Save our Flash drives? Thanks.
I know this thread is old but it's the first result on Google when searching for the error code, so I'm posting my reply. Someone on Spiceworks linked to this tool. It formatted my broken SD card that had this exact issue, and now I can use the card again like normal.
