After flashing trinity, computer won't detect SD card

Title basically explains it all, it says the USB device has failed and won't show it at all under my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Did you install the lg drivers? For some reason you have to use same usb port each and every time. Have you tried a different computer if possible?

Is it Trinity CM9? If so, this is a known problem and is being worked on.
Checking the thread before posting would've helped a lot.

Nope, it's CM7.
I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling LG Drivers, and that didn't work either. I tried another PC as well, and it also failed to recognize the device.
Not sure if this means anything but when I go into CWM on my phone, I can't choose any of the options, it just goes to the icon and does nothing until I battery pull.
Is there any way I can format the SD while it's in my phone, or will that screw things up, like my ROM, ect.

You can reformat the sd card while on cwm but it's gonna clear ur sd. It's gonna erase everything on it. Your rom will be fine

Alright, I'll try that, I don't have anything on it besides music and my zip files. I put the micro SD in a regular SD adapter and it works fine on my PC, it's something about when the card is in my actual phone.

NVflash, I just erased the SD and reinstalled my ROM and kernel, maybe that will do something lol.

stuck

So i tried to flash the latest evervolv jb rom. Didn't boot,oh well.
Went to recovery to restore, error while restoring system, hmmm, never seen that b4.
So went to usb mass storage and downloaded roms 3 times they all say bad , of course they're not all bad.
I am using CW-enhanced recovery v1.1b but have been for a couple weeks not sure if that has anything to do with the problem or not.

Are you Downloading over WiFi , Hardline , or the Network? Are you making sure to check the MD5 Checksum before trying to flash? Did you Restoring a different Rom? I don't think it's the Recovery, as I am currently using Dreads Recovery on several devices with no issues. Has your SD Card been giving you any issues?

I've had this issue when I ran out of space on my SD card (using Dread's Recovery). Probably never did a complete backup but I didn't really pay attention and when I tried to restore it errored out... Perhaps reboot into bootloader and then back into recovery. Then try a different backup (I occasionally save copies of nands on my pc) or a different ROM. Good luck!

only have one backup n it's not working, none on pc.
dloading using the pc. tried 3 different roms, can't open blah blah it says. bad.
ok tried another the 5th i think not gonna work.

Ok. Stop and take a brake. Come back and read the instructions on flashing ROMs in prboy1969's sig again. I've found that when I encounter probs I get more and more impatient and thats when I start overlooking things.

But none will flash and my backup errors out also. Something strange in the neighborhood. I always wipe the 3 times, then with a corncob for good measure.
Looking at my sd card on the pc and it all looks normal.

how can i get cmod 5.0.2.0 back on here
i reformatted then tried to run a rom no go

Now when i reboot it takes about 3 minutes to make it through the hboot screen. the blue indicator on the right loads in small chunks.

lol
i reformatted earlier.
stuck a rom on there same problem.
so hooked it up to pc again and let windows check the sd card for errors. no problems found.
then i connected to the pc using usb storage again and all my files are like they were BEFORE i reformatted an hour or so ago.

Try a different sd card (if available) otherwise the RUU may be your only option... Unless anyone else has better ideas? This is what I would do.

In Vicodan's rooting guide one of the steps is fastboot flashing a cwm image (link provided in the step).

Maybe windows isnt actually formatting it.
Do you have a usb or blank cd laying around?
Try live booting linux and formatting your SD that way.

Use SD Card Formatter. I've posted it up several times. Not on the PC. But give me a bit, and I'll repost it

Well glad you found out what it was. But before you go throwing in the towel on that SD Card. Try the program I've attached below. It may be able to salvage the card. Just UnZip onto your desktop, and give it a go.

[Q] Help with flashing rom

Hey guys, I think I botched my tab... Stupidly I accidentally flashed a kernel that was not for my device...It's stuck in a boot loop, and I don't have my original CM9 rom to flash back. When I try to mount the sd card to my computer to try and put the CM9 rom back on, it won't mount. If I use an SD to Micro SD card adapter I can throw the rom back on and flash it right?
Any help is greatly appreciated. I am about to try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2007876&highlight=stock+rom but I need a backup plan if it doesn't work.
Thanks!
EDIT: Guide worked like a charm. Won't be making that mistake again.

That would be your best bet. Everyone makes mistakes like this once in a while but make sure that you always create backups so you wont lose all your data. Best of luck

yeah...u can use that procedure to get back to stock which will unroot ur device..this is a safe procedure..
but, if can get a rom in your sd card, flash it and make wipes..it'll be shorter method i guess, it'll save a lot of time!

Haha yeah it's funny the download link for the stock restore zip was downloading 700mb at roughly 100mb/s so yeah...slow af. But it worked so that's all that matters.

Unable to update via Kies Mini to GB from Froyo. - Trying to root

I am following this guide:
http://theunlockr.com/2012/05/22/root-samsung-galaxy-s-4g/
When it gets to the part saying it is updating the firmware in Kies, it keeps failing. I have done a few factory resets but I just can't get past this. I know I need to be on GB so I can easily get root and install CWM. Is there a way to install GB via ODIN so I can get this thing rooted+recovery?
EDIT-
And after this last attempt, it decided to work. lol. Well, it was probably cause I re-installed the Samsung drivers on the same page I downloaded Kies mini.

I guess that link to the guide was misleading. I am not using Heimdall either. I got root using the super one click in that guide, and then used SGS kernel flasher to flash kernel+CWM. Then when I went to CWM it wont mount SD card so I can't do a backup or flash a new ROM.
EDIT:
I think that part of the problem is CWM wants to mount /sdcard (as it should) but my sdcard is showing up as /mnt/sdcard so how can I fix this?

What do you mean it won't mount? If you go to backup it gives you that error? What version of CWM is it?

Never had that problem before... can I be one of those tech support people and ask if you are sure that you SD card is in. And have you tried putting the desired ROM on the internal phone storage
Edit: can you or can you not access your files on your SD card in cwm?

No, I am completely unable to access the SD card in CWM. I just ran gremlin remover, so I am going to try again with sgs kernel flasher. I will try the other kernel this time.
Don't know what ROM I want to use yet. I was hoping to find a good JB rom, but looks like there is no wifi on them yet. Any good ICS roms available?
EDIT:
And yes, the sd card was installed. I was able to access it when I would let the phone boot into android, then it was at /mnt/sdcard but /sdcard was showing the voodoo folder.
Right now I have the red text CWM after flashing with ODIN. Gonna try a backup and then go flash a different kernel.
EDIT:
Ok, right after the ODIN flash I am still unable to access the SD card in CWM. Maybe I have a bad SD card. I will try another.
EDIT:
Ok, so this is a SD card problem. I stuck in a blank 1GB SD card and had android format it. Then I put the kernel I wanted on it and rebooted into recovery, I was then able to access the SD Card and run a backup. I will backup my original SD card and then stick it in the phone to have it formatted, and hopefully I will be good to go after that.

OH, and still wondering what a good stable ICS rom might be, or whatever are good stable/fast.
Thanks.

Beastmode's CM9 seemed to work great for me. I am running his slim bean 4.1.2 which has WiFi but not GPS or camcorder.

There's supposed to be a redirect from /sdcard to /mnt/sdcard that I've noticed when using several apps like Ghost Commander. Your main choices are either to make it yourself or to backup and reformat your SD card, especially if other SD cards work fine...

Well, I decided to go with Valahalla BlackEdition since I need a rom where everything works, and this one looks like all the bugs are worked out.
Thanks for all the help here guys!

[Q] Boot Looped G2X.

Someone please help, my G2X is in a bootloop. I was installing a ROM in CWM Recovery v5.0.2.0 and as it was nearing completion and it automatically quit and took me back to the beginning of CWM. So this is where I think I messed up, I hit reboot system now. It rebooted, showed the LG logo and took me back to CWM. It does this everytime. How do I get out of this bootloop? Please help! I have no phone until my HTC One comes, and it's on backorder unfortunately..

Use the ROM for recovery or cleanup batch. Make sure to backup data from internal SD card.
Another ROM from CWM should work though. Make sure to wipe data and cache.
