Can't access SD card, halp!

Hi everyone, looking for a little guidance.
Phone: Android G1 (Rogers Canada Dream) running Cyanogen 4.2.15.1, been running fine since 4.2.6.1
Removed SD card while it was on and it rebooted... when it restarted it showed no applications and said the SD card was inaccessible and required a format. After rebooting a few times with no success I bit the bullet and formatted it... all apps are gone except for the ones that are on that image for Cyanogen. I have no market app to download new apps and when I plug it into my PC and mount it I don't see it show up as a drive like it did so I have no way to get the apps back on.
Has anyone had this happen before? Phone still works but I need to get it back to a state where I can get access to the SD and install the market... Any suggestions appreciated!!

There is a thread on the HERO section of Modaco site called "no adb, no sd". I think the 1st post on the last page MIGHT help. There are adb commands you can run to see if the phone has randomly stopped accessing the SD. Worth a shot.
PM me if you have trouble finding the thread n I'll have a look when I'm at my laptop.

I misunderstood I think.
So it is now showing an sd present? Have you tried formatting in a pc?
Tried reboot without the sd in, then insert once fully booted again?

I remove the SD Card, formatted it in my PC put it back in the phone and I can store pics and vids on it and access them but cant see or access it from the PC when in the phone. I also have no file browser so I cant install any apps or even access the market icon is gone).

Hi there! I had posted on the forum with the G1 issue where my SD card seemed to have died.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=738105
I have since removed the SD card and reformatted it, I can store pics and vids and replay them so the card is fine. I tried letting it boot up then adding the SD card when booted, that caused it to reboot, same issue...
Not having access to the card, I cant install any apps or browse the SD to install from there... really sucks
I'd be willing to blow it away and restart too and install CyanogenMod-5.0.8 but I need some guidance.

I got your message pal....
Ok,.... So pictures and videos taken with your phone camera DO save to your SD?.... and you CAN access them on your phone OR if you put your SD into your PC/Lappy?... But not when trying to "mount SD"?
Or have I got that completely wrong?.... Did you put pics&vids onto it through your PC, and thats the only access you get to it?

Pics taken DO save to me SD. I Can access them from a PC is I remove the SD and put it in the PC. Not when I plug the phone in via USB then tell it to mount.
I just did a low level format, same issue.
UPDATE: Just tried the Android System Recovery and Toggle USB-MS and it shows on my laptop now! Going to try the recovery backup now.

aha,... so its just a mounting issue, not that the hardware has turned itself off.
Once when using an older ROM (maybe Villain 10?) we had this same issue, not able to mount SD,... going into Settings --> Connect to PC --> and turning off Notify/ask me solved the problem.

I just partitionned it using:
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
print (to verfiy we know what size card we are dealing with, the details should be straight forward)
rm 1
rm 2
mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7500
mkpartfs primary ext2 7500 7948
quit
upgrade_fs
reboot recovery
Then put CyanogenMod-5 For Dream/Magic on the SD and renamed it update.zip
I'm in Android System recovery now and just did a nandroid backup.
I should be able to WIPE then FLASH UPDATE IMAGE right?

Yes, if you have the ROM image on the SD Card (FAT32 partition), you can go flash the image.

If your contacts are saved in the phone's memory, then yes. Any settings, apps, configurations that are stored on the phone will all be gone.
A wipe pretty much gives you the factory settings. (As if you just bought the phone) So you'll have to re-signin into your Google Account and let the Contacts Sync, etc..
EDIT: Depending on what you are flashing (flashing and wiping are two different things), you may not even need to wipe.

Hmmm I tried flash update image and got:
E: Cant open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory)
When I mount it in system recovery I see the LOST.DIR and update.zip

Try this:
-Confirm the Image-
1) Make sure you have the full image you are going to flash. (Compare MD5 Hashes and/or just redownload the image)
2) Make sure the image you are flashing is the in the ROOT directory of your SDCard. In other words, it shouldn't be in any folder.
-Flash the Image-
1) When in Recovery, choose to flash an image.
2) Depending on what recovery you have, you may have to select/find the Image you want to flash.
3) Flash the image
-Wipe (Depends)-
1) If you are coming from a different ROM base (ie anything -> cyan), you'll want to wipe.
2) After the phone successfully flashes the image, wipe the phone.
Reboot.
Let me know how it goes.

I pulled the new image from: Latest version: 5.0.8-DS - 06/19/2010
Download: http://cyanogen-upda...8-DS-signed.zip
but it says no such file or DIR... weird...
The only partition I can see on my PC to put it on is the main partition...
I just downloaded the file and renamed it update.zip

I just realized the main reason that you posted this topic. From what I am assuming, either:
a) Your SD Card reader is dead
b) The software isn't recognizing the SD Card reader.
Best bet at this point is to setup ADB (ADB For Dummies) and flash the image from your computer. It can get a slight bit complicated, but just slowly go through each step for installing ADB.
Once ADB is set up, you can flash the image from the computer.

The SD card reader in my phone? It has to work if I can read an write to it ( tested photos and videos) and in recovery I was able to make a backup.
If its the software I need to flash it then right? ADB does make me nervous as I only used it once... I just tried using the terminal emulator on the phone to flash a recovery image I had made while back:
cd /sdcard
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-backup.img
and got the message "error writing recovery: Permission denied"

If you can view the pictures that you saved on the SD card from the phone, then both the software and hardware are functioning correctly.
Regarding the permission denied:
1) What happens if you "su - " in terminal?
2) First try one(1) ^ and then try to reinstate the permissions. (In recovery, go to console and type : fix_permissions)
Not sure otherwise.

[Fix]EE4 sdcard write protection for root users

XDA developers, Kejar, nor I are responsible for anything you do to your phone so as always use with care​
For those of you using a custom kernel with Build EE4 to gain root and have run into the Write protection pop up when trying to transfer files to your sdcard.
sdcard patch:
simply download below
place on sdcard
and flash using clockwork
All credit to Kejar , so please remember to thank him

You are a beast!!!

I think his username is kejar, BTW.

After first running this patch, the first time I plugged it in the usb storage option popped up, but then never came up again. I ended up having to go into Setting>USB Settings while the phone was unplugged and changing it to "Ask on Connection" and it works perfectly. When the "Mass Storage" Option is selected, Windows recognizes the phone as a cd rom. Thanks for all your work DroidXCon, Kejar, and everyone else.

How to Save it on SD when Its readonly
If the SD card is in read only mode, then how can I save the zip on sd card? Also the usb is not recognized because iof it being a read only mode

I would suggest putting the file on the SDcard before you update or pull the sdcard out and use a micro USB card reader to put it on.

You can unmount the SDCard and push the file to the SDCard via adb. The SDCard is only read-only when it is mounted as mass storage. I have a feeling that this change is going to cause a few short-term issues with custom kernels at some point, but only time will tell.

BTW - TY to kejar & DroidXcon, regardless of how easy a fix is or isn't they still deserve all the props and I will gladly donate the macchiatos to the guys, consider it done

imnuts, I know you are working on an update to your debloated ROM, likely built off of EE4, will you be using a custom kernel in yours or stock until we know if it will cause issues?

My card wasn't really read only, just not accessible via usb. I just downloaded the file via my DC browser and it saved to the card no problem

Orrrr. Just send the download link to your phone via email or whatever method you choose. Then use your supa fast 4G facemelter to download the file on your phone and then go into CWM and flash it.

Quick (noob) Question. When going to apply this patch in CWM, do you use the "apply patch option" or "zip to apply". Literally popped my rooting cherry an hour ago. Everything works besides SD Card being Read Only Status. Thanks in advance.

1) download the sdcard fix from here and rename the file to update.zip
2) place update.zip in the adb platforms tools directory, where the adb command exits.
3) with USB mass storage off, I used ADB shell to push the file from the host computer to the Charge into the root folder of the SD card, /sdcard
(this assumes you don't have any file named update.zip already in the root of your sdcard)
adb devices
adb push update.zip /sdcard
adb reboot recovery
4) CWR should run and now you use the menu to apply update.zip.
Thanks OP.

Now I'm experiencing something slightly different...and this fix isn't helping.
Since the day I got the charge I've had issues writing to it in windows, wasnt til yesterday I started to really question more so why...thinking it was just a cheap card going bad.
I rooted the phone the day I got it, everything worked fine except being able to write to the sd card when mounted. Now I wasnt getting write protection, I was more so getting windows locking up, and things of that nature (thinking bad card right).
Yesterday I unrooted, and updated to ee4. it does the auto mount thing now, I mounted and was able to transfer 200 and some songs to the card, no issues.
Rooted late last night now running the debloated ee4, with pb&j kernel (voodoo enabled) and tried to move some icons over and unzip them, and it failed again, with io errors in the logs...
Anyone have any thoughts on this one...

I was able to just plug my microSD card into a card reader to my laptop, and drop the zip file in there. booted into CWR and flashed the update. Worked like a charm. Thanks!!!
My way of testing was to take a screenshot. and verify that it was in the screencapture directory.
Cheers!

No more root
So I installed cwr w Odin, then pb andj kernal w car and the fix w cwr and rebooted. Checkedrootchecker and o was root checked. Then I flashed debloated eel and it worked but now I have no root access. Root heck says busy box is installed correctly but it says "su binary not found in the system declared path??
Thanks

Hmmm, strange. Try reflashing PBJ. If that doesn't work, try flashing GummyCharged and see if that helps?

Isn't that another rom? Don't I have to be rooted first?

[Q] Blank SD card

Hello everyone, this is my first post. I'm in big trouble. Yesterday I unplugged the headphone without stopping the music. it suddenly showed "Micro SD card unexpectedly removed". this happened one month ago and it was solved after few restarts, though I had to format the card then.
But not this time. I removed battery and restarted about 20 times, the only improvement is now it shows "Blank micro SD card" on notification and after touching the notification, it asks me to format. but it does not format after selecting it. I checked another card and it says same- Blank micro SD card. I checked my card in my pc with card reader and it was ok. I've tried formattind by PC and also SD Formatter software and I formatted the card in Huawei tablet but all show same- "Blank SD card". I even did factory reset, but no luck.
I've been fallen in a loop. first after powering on after removal of the battery, when I go to settings/storage then under 'SD card' total memory, available memory,mount SD card and erase all data are active. total and available memory both shows 'unavailable'. if I select mount SD card then I see 'preparing SD card' for a fraction of second in notification and then again it shows 'blank SD card'. now if I select 'erase all data' then a pop up shows 'erasing data' for 2 seconds and closes automatically. after that mount SD card and erase SD card both the options become deem(unselectable).
I've a feeling that the card slot is damaged. but that would be my worst nightmare. my phone is not covered by warranty as I bought it from abroad and there is no official service centre around. After searching many forums I found many people having this problem. some of their problems are solved after doing the measure I've taken but I guess I'm unlucky. Please help.

If you've tried multiple cards, that isn't sounding good. Does sound like a Hardware issue, warranty return an option?
Swyped form ym Dersie S unsig XAD Permuim

did you try your SD card on other phone?

@no option of warranty coz now I'm in a different country and here's no htc sales point. I wish it were solved without the touch of local repairing shop.
@yes the card works well in other mobiles though they wants a format before using.

Stupid question, but after you've formated the sd card in the other device, you're device still force recognise it? Same issue.?
Do you have sd card reader that will enable you to format the card from the PC?

don't bother,I've already done much more stupid things to get the problem solved.
when I format it in Huawei tablet and insert in DS then firstly it doesn't even show any notification as if I've not inserted any card. but after one or two restarts it again shows blank SD card.
and yes my laptop has a SD slot which I used to read my card with the help of an adapter. laptop can recognise it and format it but that doesn't solve the problem in DS.

since when you're having the trouble? what have you finally decided to do with it?

You should connect your card to PC, using card reader and format card. It can be problem with partition layout, so, I suggest remove FAT32 partition from car, create it again and format using your PC tools. If you windows user, better if you format card from command line: windows button + R, type CMD, Enter. In opened window type:
Code:
format your_card_partition_letter: /fs:fat32
for example:
format E: /fs:fat32
it will format slow, but in he end you can see report and be sure that partition created well and without errors.

brother I just did the format from command prompt but same problem...

Okay.. go into recovery and try to format sd card from there. Many users have had problems with pc formatted microsd's. If you're on 4ext recovery try a file system check from tools menu first..it might help.
PS: You can first try to mount the sd card from recovery while usb attached to pc. If windows sees it, it might be a rom or kernel issue.
Let me know how this turns up. Best of luck!

I'm an average user so please correct me if I'm wrong. I went to hboot menu (volume down + power). there are 5 options:
fastboot
recovery
factory reset
simlock
image crc
now if I select recovery as you suggested, then the phone stucks at black screen with the icon of a phone and red exclamation sign. the backlight stays on until I pull the battery. what do you think?

first: STOP PULLING THE BATTERY! you'll end up with a bricked phone: to force a reboot press vol up, vol dn, and power buttons all at the same time!
NEVER EVER PULL THE BATTERY This is very important. Pulling your battery out is the most prominent cause of eMMC bricks.(read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268447)
okay now that this is solved.. So you did not give us full specs. It seems that you are not rooted or s-off. am i right?

I read the post before. it's just that I got frustrated,so...but I'll never do it again.
and yes I'm not rooted and s-offer. sorry should have told you before.

then, what i just told you is useless unless you are willing to s-off and root. unfortunately i don't think that there is another way to determine if you're facing a hardware or software problem. IMHO it's software related as all those that mentioned this issue here on xda seem to be on stock rom..
there might be a way to check the card via adb but im not familiar with adb that much.. maybe someone else here might have a clue..
anyway, if you do decide to go for s-off'ing which i highly recommend you can find all you need in the general section (but be sure to check your hboot version and read twice before doing)

a guy from androidforums.com have given me a way to " reset the diagnostic monitor on
the phone which could be stopping the phone
from recognising SD cards" by SDK with some commands. though I've never used SDK but I'll try. but if failed I'll of course root and s-off. please help me then.

No luck this time too. I used following to commands in adb
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot reboot
but still no change in Blank SD card.

Since warranty isn't an issue, ROOT is strongly suggested - if only for the purpose of Custom Recovery

Agree to the above. I'd recommend 4EXT recovery. . .

Sorry double posted. I see no delete button.

Need HELP, Samsung gt-s7580 trend plus

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, if not a moderator please move it to the right place.
I rooted my Samsung GT-S7580, following the tutorial on this forum, everything went ok. After rooting I wanted to use an app called GL to SD (tried FolderMount first but it didnt work due to some faulty thing) after I opened it it said that it needed to change some folder/files issues and rebooted.
Now I can;t access "device storage" anymore, can't install anything. If I plug in the USB cable all I can see is the external sd card and Phone 127MB/128MB but if I open it's empty. I cant copy anything to either locations. Same thing with the phones file explorer I can only access the external sd card, if I click "Device Storage" it's empty for a second then it backs up.
I did a factory rest ... same thing. Please tell me there is a way to fix this and I didn't just make my phone a paper weight.
I can still use odin and android recovery system.

Iif this isn't a Note 3 (N9005) you aren't going to get any help here...
Each device has its own way to root and different recovery. If you flashed something from this forum in all likelyhood you have (possibly) bricked your phone...
My suggestion would be to find your stock rom and flash that... Then (hope you backed up) wipe everything and try again...

I used a tutorial for my phone model and like I said the rooting went fine. I was able to install and uninstal apps, even rebooted it a few times. The problem was after that gl to sd app did something to my file system. Most things still work, I'm on it right now. It seem that I can't access its internal memory

I would do that, if I could find some place to download gl to sd apk .. I can't install using google play and seems all links lead there.
EDIT: The newest version I could find (2.2.0) only has "move data". "Show mounted folders", "Purchase PRO" and "Setting" under those 3 dots and none of these show a restore setting or any mounted folders.

Please update v2.2.22
Only new version has this feature.

EDIT: The newest version I could find (2.2.0) only has "move data". "Show mounted folders", "Purchase PRO" and "Setting" under those 3 dots and none of these show a restore setting or any mounted folders.

I poked around more and it seems the only place I can;t access is /storage/emulated (it's empty). Added some screenshots

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, if not a moderator please move it to the right place.
I rooted my Samsung GT-S7580, following the tutorial on this forum, everything went ok. After rooting I wanted to use an app called GL to SD (tried FolderMount first but it didnt work due to some faulty thing) after I opened it it said that it needed to change some folder/files issues and rebooted.
Now I can;t access "device storage" anymore, can't install anything. If I plug in the USB cable all I can see is the external sd card and Phone 127MB/128MB but if I open it's empty. I cant copy anything to either locations. Same thing with the phones file explorer I can only access the external sd card, if I click "Device Storage" it's empty for a second then it backs up.
I did a factory rest ... same thing. Please tell me there is a way to fix this and I didn't just make my phone a paper weight.
I can still use odin and android recovery system.

I have the same problem, but the system writes "Not enough memory to install applications". Installed via Google Play, through the apk files - nothing works. Does anyone know what exactly this program is changing? I am excruciated wildly. I do not want to reflash the phone.

[Q] sdcard mount and unmount issue

I can't find any quick and noob-friendly resolution to the problem so if you got the easy one please help... thank you
I found that some of my photos were "broken", then I thought the sdcard may be the one that caused this..
after that, I used the unmount button in settings>storage, but it just "stucked" and no unmount , so I just pull the sdcard out from my phone
then backup with acronis true image 2014, then "fully" format the card, test the card with h2testw, restore the data with acronis true image 2014,
and checked my restored files on computer, hmm... is ok now, but when I replugged the card to my phone, my phone just can't read or write any file/folder on that card...
tried with other sdcard..I found that the phone shows the information for the sd card is the one before I unplugged it...
pls help me!! please...
I don't want to wipe my phone...

I'm not sure it will help or not but you can give it a try coz I fixed the same issue with my phone before:
First remove you battery and let it be like this until you connect your sdcard to the pc. Then open command prompt and type this:
chkdsk /f G:​Here replace G: with the drive with your sdcard.
After this try to mount your sdcard back to your phone.

Oh...I see.
Thanks for reply...
I will try later...
Btw my sdcard is readable now
But the missing photo still not fixed I think I will wait til I pass my middle exam
