hey guys lately my phone has been having issues with recognizing the internal SD when the external SD is in place. when the external SD is taken out the phone recognizes the reqular SD. i have tried all the tricks i know, from wipping the whole phone from its rom and everything, factory resets, you name it. the phone when it feels like it will recognize the internal and external upon reboot. any ideas?

As the tittle says, my external SD card will no longer mount to my computer. The internal mounts just fine. I can see the external using a file explorer when USB mass storage isn't connected. I use my external card as a "thumbdrive" constantly and it has always mounted just fine, this just cropped up today.
I am running Bionix2 if that makes a difference.
What can I try to get it mounting properly again?
UPDATE:
I have tried turning on and off USB debugging
I have tried pulling the SD card, booting, turning back off, reinserting the SD card and booting again.
I have tried uninstalling the LG driver from the computer and reinstalling it (ADB)
None of these have worked.
The empty drive shows up in "computer" as a drive, the SD card just never mounts to it. When USB mass storage is ON the SD card definitely unmounts from the phone.
This is very frustrating as I need some files off the card and I don't have access to a micro SD card reader.
UPDATE2:
Got the files I needed by copying them from the external card to the internal card, connecting, mounting and copying them from the internal card to my computer. It is still a PITA though not as urgent as it was.
So last night I pulled the SD card, copied everything off and formatted it on my computer, didn't change a thing. I was then going to reload the ROM I am using. This didn't work as I am running external CWM recovery and it wouldn't mount the SD card either.
As a last effort before trying another card, I formatted (erase=format?) the card through Android. Everything seems to work fine again. I copied everything back to the SD card without an issue. CWM sees it again as well.
What could have caused the card to spontaneously need to be reformatted through Android after working perfectly well for 2 months?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I had the same issue, I think when you install different roms some use different ext for the drives, thats why its critical that after each rom you wipe wipe wipe, and as we know now, lol format sd card
hey, is the sd locked for been read only by the phone?
if I put the sd on a usb card reader I can't read it, the pc says to format it...
if I format from the pc with the sd in the phone on mass storage the phone says that file system is wrong...
is it normal? any solutions?
Try unmounting it in the phone go to settings and storage. Then try erase SD card and see what happens.
did it yet, it just format the sd and is locked again...
is a kingston 8gb class4, it was on the phone when I bought it...
I think the file system thing could be the problem...
I had problems with the SD card on my phone. It was actually causing the screen to freeze in stand by even pulling the battery and restarting wouldn't get the phone to work. Tried re-rom'ing the phone going back to factory rom nothing working. Left for a few minutes and screen would freeze.
New SD card and sorted all my issues out!
So I got a new 64gb micro sd card for Christmas and it doesn't seem to work on my phone whatsoever. Every time I put it into my phone it says it's damaged and that I need to format it, but instead of formatting it, it erases all my files in the internal storage. I didn't realize it the first time and it was very annoying to find out it did that. The micro sd card does however, work on my pc. So I've tried to format the sd card mutiple times on my pc , using different apps and formatting it to different types, but none of it seems to be working. I do not think it has anything to do with my cfw I have on because I changed it and I'm still having the same problem. So any help or suggestions would be appreciated as I would really like to have the extra storage on my phone.
You have to format it as FAT32. Skyrockets won't read it if it's formatted any other way.
I recently encountered a problem with my HTC Sensation (Running on Carbon Rom with Android 4.3.1), that suddenly it started to drop signals. So I tried restarting the phone and by accident I removed the SD Card while the phone was still switched on. Now the phone doesn't detect the SD Card anymore when I insert it. I don't think its a problem related to the card reader, as it prompts me to format the SD Card after I put it to the phone, however, when I allow it to format the SD Card, it won't be formatted. So I tried inserting by manually formatting the SD Card, but still it failed to recognize it. Afterwards, I tried several times by clearing cache, and trying to mount it from the recovery with no luck whatsoever. Plus, I tried inserting another SD Card (which was not from an Android phone) and still the result was the same.
Would really appreciate if someone can help me out on what should I do?
Thanks in advance!
Hi. I'm using my SD Card formatted as internal storage and yesterday my phone stop detect it I try to romove and put again, restart phone and it's not work. I have important data on this card, so anyone knows how can I extract them? External reader or something? Please help.
On windows, use EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard
It'll work when I formatted card as a internal storage (when you insert a SD card for the first time on a Marshmallow device, you can choose to either use the card as Portable Storage or Internal Storage)? That's main problem... And if yes, how can connect this card to PC when my phone didn't recognize the card?
