Edit:
-Can't mount internal or external in TWRP 2.2.3 so I can at least re-flash a ROM
-Every time I try to add files from the computer to internal sd card, I get prompted to erase "damaged sd card." If I skip the message, I can't read the files from the phone because they are immediately deleted
-Goddammit now I can't even connect with the USB this is seriously ****ed up. It's not even a brick because I can use all my apps and phone functions as long as they aren't saving data to storage
Running CM10, everything was completely fine until I did my monthly cache and davlik wipe and now my sd card is always "checking for errors." I can't access my external sd card but if I go to twrp recovery, I was able to mount the sd card(and the filenames turned into strange characters) but now that won't work a second time.
I was just about to backup the goddamn thing too.
Re: Wiping cache and davlik buggered up sd card and internal storage
Wiping your caches won't mess up your external sd card. They're not even on it.

It's very strange that those are the only I actions I performed before I started getting sd card problems though.

SD cards commonly go bad or become corrupted. Please stop spreading false info and fear.

Bought a new microsd yesterday and I just spent several hours transferring music to it(from the adapter itself and not my phone usb), and now everything on the card was wiped when using it with my phone some how. And I did confirm the files were actually on the card before safely removing. This is completely ridiculous. These problems happening twice in a row to a lexar product that has a "10 year warranty."

I didn't know lexar was even relevant in any market these days. Send it in if its got a warranty or buy a different brand that's not crap.

I'm mostly angry at having to copy large amounts of music back the sd cards. It wouldn't be so bad to get a new sd card again if the write speeds weren't so slow. Shouldn't class 10 get a lot more than 1MB/s?

I've had success with Kingston and PNY Class 10 SD Cards that said even they can become corrupt and fail. I've wiped my phone more times that I can remember and that ad never corrupted my SD card. I always have a back up SD card with everything on it and everything SD card is also backed up on a CD/DVD. Good Luck

What brand is the internal SD card? The same thing is happening to it now. I tried formatting in the phone, windows, even SDformat tool but everything keeps getting erased and the damage message prompts me to format.
Edited OP. ****ing frustrating.

It looks like you should odin back to a stock ics or gb rom and rebuild your system from there.
What was the best before sliced bread?

I did the whole procedure in the above link but I removed my external SD before doing it and now it doesn't give the error anymore, and I can now transfer via USB which is good. At least I can save info to the internal SD too. Once I get a new external SD I'll see if it still happens.
One problem I always had was getting no more than 1MB/s on usb transfering

Would really appreciate a little help! Phone died formatting a new sandisk 16 gb SD and now I cannot format the card as it says blank or unsuppported file system or something, gives option to format, then says checking SD card, then the same notification stays about unsupported ect... but it does nothing. I tried putting it in an SD card adapter in a few things like a camera to format but no ideas. Anyone know what to do? Also tried formatting through system pref... does same thing.. no luck.

My understanding from reading your post is that you tried to format a brand new SD card and then your phone turned off/died, then you got the phone back up and running and tried to format again, but now you're getting an error. Well, if you still have the receipt, go return it for another one and try again.
if the card, formats in nothing, like your camera or PC, which I believe you are saying. The SD card is defective.....return it.
infact, I don't think I had to format my new SD card. It worked right out of the box.
hi guy's!
i have a Galaxy Ace GT-S5730i
and i was having some problems with the internal storage
so i saw this thread by jocala
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757767
that i can use the external sd card as an internal storage
any how .. it didn't work!
but what happened now is that my phone can't read the sd card at all
and saying things like "no such as directory" or something like that
and i can't download the swapsd.apk again cause it needs an sd card to be downloaded to first!
if only i can download the apk from any where directly to the internal phone storage
i can get the swap back to default again!
any help please?!
and yes i am a noob!
Take out the SD card and put it into an SD card reader and put that into your computer and use a free partition program to basically repartition the entire card or delete and format a new partition.
didn't work

hey, thanks for helping
but it didn't work
did what you asked me to do, but nothing really changed!
thanks again
any other ideas?
Strange, formatting the sd card usually fixes these kind of problems :/
Have you tried it a couple times? Formatting does fail on occasions. Also make sure you do a full format, not a quick one

well, the sd card is working probably on the pc with the card reader!
so i guess - just guessing - that the problem is in the device it self!
i formatted the phone it self but it didn't work, and i'm going to go with what you are saying
and i will do a full format
thanks a lot
didn't work, does the FAT,FAT32 and the rest of those stuff matter?!
+
when ever i open "My Files" it says "Your phone does not have SD card inserted" although it is!
take a cloth and clean your SD card area in your phone, also use that canned air stuff and do a quick spray.
Well, I have a class 6 16 gb samsung micro sd card using with lg p500. Two weeks ago after installing some rom(probably icysnap) after booting it can't recognize the sd card but detects it in cwm. So I know my sd card is alright. so I flashed another rom(rasheed's jb) but still it can't recognize the sd card although detected in cwm just like previous times. After then I tried a lot like formatting it,partitioning it by both CWM & Minitool from FAT32 to FAT-EXT123..every format. But nope..nothing happened. And then next morning it is recognized again. So it takes a few hours to be detected. What the heck is going on? Any solution? Can't I have flexibility to reboot my phone:crying:?
And don't I have any right to use link2sd and download more apps than it fits in internal memory:crying:!
maybe your phone doesn't recognize sd card because of some permisions, try fix permisions from cwm
Format it again in PC.. dont use Quick format method. Size allocation DEFAULT. Dont patition it this time. Try different kernels.
Still if you face the problem.. get another MicroSD card.. buy transcend.

another thing, on playstore is an app named PIMPMYROM, I used it to zipalign and move data to sd but I do not recommend in your case to move data to SD, you can try it , it is free, but beware some things may brick your phone
another thing is to check SD slot with a multimeter to see if all pins have same voltage/amps
and as rr0yy says, try with another SD card, maybe this one isn't too good and is too lazy and moves with the speed of a rabid snail

Well..my $15 Micromax phone instantly detects teh card. I think there is no problem with the card but the reader in the phone. And I tried everything like fixing permission in cwm.
It seems that my SD card is not writable when inserted. Is this true? I tried to create a new folder on it with root explorer (I am not rooted though) and it said that my device needs to be rooted in order to accomplish that task.
Any ideas?
Jonn
Did you try something like es file explorer? I would try that.
That didn't work either. It says "operation failed".
I actually noticed that it wasn't working playing act raiser and it wasn't saving my position. Moving the ROM to internal storage worked. I then tried to create a folder.

Huh. Just tried a different SD card and that one worked. Weird.

I spoke too soon. After removing the sdcard that worked and putting it back in, it no longer is writeable.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
It works again if I pull the card out, restart the shield and put the card back in. Perhaps something up with the mounting process?
It appears that once a card is mounted, if it is removed and re-inserted, it remounts as read only.

It looks like sdcard mounting is messed up. I can't get any of the sdcards i have tried to mount.
Did you go into settings and actually click unmount before removing the SD Card? Many linux systems (android is linux) will mount devices which werent safely removed in read only mode for some bizarre reason.
I tried that as well. It still doesn't work.

when you go to storage under settings, under sd card does it show total space for card. if not maybe you have to format it to NTFS first. thats what I had to do with my new card. also said to do so on shield guide

I did not read the destructions. The destructions have useful information? Where may i find these destructions? I assumed fat32 so that is what my sd is formatted to.

Yes, I formatted it to NTFS before I inserted it. It shows the total space and space available, it just doesn't allow anything to be written to it. I can take it out and put it in a PC and it works correctly. I also have another SD card that I tried and it worked for a few minutes, but I haven't been able to get it to keep working.

sorry I dont know what else to tell you, i first had the same problem like yall when I stuck in a brand new card. nothing I downloaded would go on to card. and it didnt show the amount of space left under the storage menu. Then i found out it need to be formated to NTFS. Once i did that everything started downloaded and showing up on card.

The only memory card I have gotten working (about 1 minute ago) is 512MB and formatted fat32
The card i want to us is a 16gb microsdhc formatted fat32 when this memory card is in my shield it knows it has a memory card but says it has no partitions on it.
I am running testdisk on the sd card and it found 9 partitoins. I will try and clean that up.
To be honest, I've never tried SD card support on the device. So I can't say one way or another. But I'll be looking at it soon enough since I got my first build of CWM for SHIELD waiting for me to debug in the other room once the kids go to bed.
I just tried two different 8GB class 10 transcend cards, an 8GB class 2 generic card and a 256mb sandisk card. I put each card in and copied a file from internal storage to it. Then I removed each of the cards without unmounting and put them back in and proceeded to copy a file to the card again. Every time it worked successfully. I do not even know what format they are in and didn't format them before testing. And, maybe the issue didn't show up because I didn't give it enough time. I am not sure.
Also, I know this is probably a really dumb question but the micro sd slot is spring loaded. You are pushing it in until you hear a good solid click right?
issues
Having issues of my own.
Bought a 64gb sandisk SDXC card for shield. It worked 100% fine in my SGS3 formated for exFat. But not in the shield...
It seems to work somewhat when formated for NTFS. But the file path is really messed up and 1/2 my apps cant see the SD card because of this. It something like (root/storage/sdcard1/....)
2 apps that are basically usless right now due to this are Power amp & FPse.
Android doesn't normally support either exFat or NTFS. The shield may include support for them but if I had a shield I would steer clear anyway and go with what android definitely trusts in FAT32.
Hopefully NVidia will do a firmware update to sort these problems though
a couple days back I was copying all my songs from my phone's sd card to my pc. while copying something glitched out and my whole sd card and the folder i was copying to got corrupted so I had to say bye bye to all my data and start fresh (I tried using recuva, but the recovered files were still corrupted). I then was unable to do anything on my phone without it hanging for a few minutes so i decided to do a factory reset. now, my problem is that when I insert my sd card, and try to do something with my internal storage, it says internal memory not formatted, please try again, but when I remove my sd card, my internal memory works just fine. I have absolutely no Idea whats wrong. please help me fix this issue. also my phone was rooted before I did a factory reset.
