[Q] SD card not mounting?

so, I recently bought a new sd card for my shift. I plugged it in to my phone and as my phone booted up, it says that the sd card is safe to remove. I found that weird. So I went into settings and tried to mount the sd card that way. Same message. Can someone help? I dont know what the problem is.

You should Format the SD Card before you use it.

Wow. I was having formatting issues but turns out the switch on my SD adapter was set so that writing was locked. Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Is the sd card loose in it's casing?

What have your tried?
Tried SD in a different Phone?
Checked the SD for errors?
Is the SD loose in the carrier?
Formatted the SD (fat 32 and primary partioion) from a PC?
Tried a different SD in your phone?
It does help if you do the basics and add what you've done in the OP

No, I'm never inserting my SD card to any other devices
Previously i checked it for errors,and got cleaned
After I purchased it,i haven't formatted....
I found this "un-expectally unmount error" from this last week...

I had similar issues with my sensation my sd would unmount unexpectedly it would vary from rom to rom. I found that if re flashed my current rom without a wipe it would correct the problem. It worked in my case hope it helps

I would try the reflashing rom idea above as its easy.
If that doesnt work transfer all the sd card data to your computer then format the card. See if that fixes.
Sent from a rebel ship by storing the message in an R2 unit. (Help me, XDA. You're my only hope)

backup your data on the sd card to your pc and format it and if it still shows the problem then your sd card is dead

i have the same problem but when i formatted it formatted my internal sdcard -.-

No, it is not :silly:
I've tried 2 different sd cards (16 GB and 32 GB), different brands, and they are recognized by every pc I use, the problem is on the phone side. Maybe the mod to swap internal and external SD cards... or some kind of rom bug.

Or you could flash the alpha 3 which has been released....maybe it was a bug specific to alpha 2?

[HELP} problem with sd card

hello, i have a 4gb microsd with my android phone
suddenly one day it stopped allowing me write or delete files from sd card, only read operations are done
normal check with windows failed
i tried to format with gparted and diskpart everything failed,
it doesnt have a lock, tried from usb card reader also
what should i do know??
(did a lot of googling tried many formatters none worked)

Try these:
1. Unmount SD card in your device, and mount it again.
2. Connect it to a PC using a card reader, and run CHKDSK.
3. Format the SD Card in a digital camera or a Nokia phone.

Did you try other sd card in this phone? My old Android phone can't read the card, and later I found it's the phone's problem.

[sOLVED] XPERIA L C2104 hangs after 1-2 minutes of boot.

Hi!! I tried everything, flashed stock firmware which worked for me every time. But now the phone just hangs after a minute of boot. I can see status bar and nav buttons but its black screen in main screen. I am unable to turn on developer tools because of this so can't even root phone or anything. Please help.
I used 'root external 2 internal sd' application from playstore earlier which caused the phone to not boot at all. So I flashed stock firmware. And now this problem
The application showed 16 GB internal and 16 GB external when I tried it.

I just tried to quickly go and check storage. It says 0 in internal storage and nothing as external. Can it be because of this?? Any fix? :/

May be your partitions are not read properly or they have become corrupt
. Do you flash the full ftf along with the wipe data option turned on ?
If not then do try this.

yes i flashed full ftf with both wipes checked.
today i removed my sd card and mobile worked fine after that. i used sd card via card reader and its fine, not corrupt. put it back in mobile and again the same problem of mobile hanging and going black. it shows 0 gb internal when i put sd card.
is there any fix to this or fixing partitions coding inside mobile?

Format your sd card using your phone. Search Google play for a good app to format and format your external sd card as fat32.
Best of luck.
Hit thanks if it helped.

Format again
if the problem is still therr then do the following
Put your external card in card reader and connect to your windows pc.
download hdd low level format and format the card. Make sure you DO NOT use the quick format option.
