Have had orthus ROM on my phone sense ver 1. Had 7 on there recently no issues, finally ver 8 comes out and now I have internal storage USB mount issues. Its not showing up. Its not were the system files go , but were the programs go. The system storage and SD card show up in the settings/storage and I have no idea how to fix the issue.

I'm not sure I understand your problem. I'm on ver 8 and don't have any problems with the files. They're all where they should be. Are you using a file manager to locate the files?

im saying the internal memory were all the program files, not the system files go... the internal 8gb mount is missing... like it doesnt even show up. i tried to install some programs but cant because its saying theres no SD card installed.. I've formatted 3 times, tired reinstalling the rom 4 times, fixed permissions 4 times, and did factory reset 3 times. did the clean dalvix (spelling) 5 times with no success. i dont know what to do. even tried going back to orthus 7 with no help. even contacted mindmajick and he didnt know.
If I understand, what normally shows up as sdcard on your internal isn't there anymore. Idk either. You could try a different rom or you might have to odin back to stock and start over.

On the skyrocket, you have internal memory (were the system files goes) then you have a internal SD memory, then you have external SD memory, my internal SD is missing.

Flash back to stock and see if it picks it up. If not it's very possible that your memory failed. Warranty with Samsung would be your only option if that's the case.

so flash all the way back to stock and not be rooted?
Yes. If it picks it up from there build back up. If it doesn't your internal is hosed.
Figured it out. When I reboot, I have to take my SD card out let the ROM load then insert it back in. With the card in, the phone wasn't registering the internal SD memory.

okay, so i've found myself in a bit of a pickle. Recently I've been running the CM7 nightly's, but today I tried out the RoyalGinger rom and I believe it either corrupted my SD card or it's blocking my SD card from being used/read.
Tried several times to reformat it but each time it said 'checking SD card', but the weird thing is I have an active wireless connection, but I'm not getting texts. I can download from market, get on Facebook, etc, but my texts won't come in until I reboot the phone. A few times I booted it up and it wouldn't allow me to even see my homescreen because it'd pop up with EVERY app force closing (including google services, framework, etc), I was able to get back to my homescreen by clearing by Dalvik Cache luckily, however I'm still unable to do most anything. I went in to wipe/restore but it says cannot find SD card, directory invalid, cannot mount, etc.
Is there a way to reformat my SD card through terminal? If so could I get the code procedure for it? or anyone have any ideas other than picking up a new micro (which isn't a big deal but I'm strapped on money til Friday) but i'd still prefer to know that it's JUST my SD card and not my phone memory. Anyone? Anyone? Beuler? Beuler? Thanks in advance. I'm really sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, but c'mon, everyone gets one.
Ok so do u have a stock backup rom? Ide say go to rom manager and go to recovery and whipe etc.. Then install that stock back on it.....And can ur sd card even read at all? Just get any.file manager and check your sd.

I think I have a backup rom of CM6, but not an actual android stock rom. It won't allow me because it says 'must have an SD card inserted' then it says must have clockwork mod recovery installed, which I do, the current version. Now that it says that I'm afraid to boot my phone into recovery, and I can't really tell if my SD card will read. I was able to use my file manager and the entire SD folder is blank.
ten minutes later: still boots into recovery, none of my backups are available on it. I was thinking about downloading a rom from the phone and trying that way, but I don't know if it'd save to the (apparently unreadable) SD card.
Ok try this...... Find out what recovery you use 3.0.0.5 or the normal 2.5.1.4 for froyo then download a rom thats the same recovery as the one u have on it right now...... If its the same as your cyanogenmod 6 then install that from the recovery manually!!!
if its not then download a rom that is and make sure you use a file manager to see if the download sticks in your sdcard. And if it doesnt stick then......your problem sir might be a corrupted sdcard, or a phone that cant read your sd.
Hope its not either or, so give it a shot.....
And ur supposed to have a stock backup as soon as you root and switch roms man Lol makes life easier

It sounds like he doesn't have access to his sdcard. It doesn't matter how many backups you make if that's the case...
If you happen to have a sdcard reader or a microsd usb adapter you could format it in windows, copy the files you need, and start again. Also did you try connecting to your pc and seeing if it's readable that way? You can format the card if your pc recognizes it. If you have adb set up you can push the recovery image to the phone without a sdcard. But once again without a working sdcard you won't be able to flash a new rom.
Hey guys I'm pretty sure it's just my SD card. I tried saving an image, just to test it and it says 'an SD card is required to download images.bin', so I'm HOPING it's just my SD Card, however my notifications are working properly so I can at least deal with it til friday, if it IS my SD card reader in the phone, well... I have a plan for that, however due to already technically breaking that I shouldn't go into it. Thanks to you guys for taking the time to post and if you know anything else that might help me I'd gladly accept it.

Hi, I have a reader on my laptop but not the adapter, so I can't tell and yes, you were right, I can't see any of my backups (which I have my stock, then cm6 and cm7) so I either need to find an adapter or get a new SD card. luckily I pulled all of my camera images off my phone last night when I put the new rom .zip on the phone sd, so I'm not really worried about 'losing' anything as long as I get my phone working back in proper condition.
Well that happened to me before as well.. All i did was replace sd cards lets the phone do its thing flash a different rom like CM6 or CM7 and then once replaced i got the adapter for my old sd card reformatted through windows and put it right back in and it worked.. So try that?
Ill have to. Thanks a lot guys I do appreciate any comments and suggestions and ill be picking up a new sd later thia week to fix it but can amyone recommend a good brand sd to pick up? the apparently failed one was a samsung 8gb

I usually use sandisk so yeah try that?
Something similar happened to me. Your SD card likely has a bad or corrupted file. I used Win7 to copy over what I could to a folder in my PC. The Win7 automatically refused to copy over the corrupted files while carrying over everything else. In XP, your file transfer stops and you have to try again to ensure you have everything that's not corrupted transferred over.
After copying, I just went ahead and formatted the SD to FAT32, transferred everything back, installed on my phone, and voila.
Go into recovery and partition the card. You'll lose everything on it but it should be useable after that

try the second method
Ok i can't get either method to work. I've tried editing it myself and I used your zip.
Whats strange is, I scrubbed everything with the g2x scrubber AND i wiped everything manually. I still get this stupid issue with the SD card and also, a Background from my previous rom loads up all of a sudden????
I know a lot of people got this working and all but damn, this has to be the worst rom I've ever dealt with in terms of getting this to work.
I was working on this last night, DO NOT MESS WITH THIS STUFF IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING!!!! I wiped the internal partitions and it took me a good 4 hours to get my baby back!
It's gonna have to wait till a ROM dev adds the function back into cm 9. I was trying to change all of the necessary files myself, i figured that the file system was close enough to Linux for new to figure it out, like spare parts did in cm7.
but it ended up in a real nasty soft brick.
Seriously, messing with your vold.fstab can f up your recovery partition and make it so you can't get into recovery, and you can't reflash it because the partition tables aren't there.

Hey guys, I have looked all over and cant find an answer...
I am running the most current (4/23) version of the cm9 rom, but i cant get my infuse to "recognize/or/find" my external 32gb sd card... it finds my internal 16 gb no problem, i have also swapped it out for my 16gb card and its still a no-go...
what do i have to do / change to get it to show up? im needing to get to my music because my daily drives of 14+ hours are getting a bit tedious...
if you could in full detail tell me where the file to edit is and what needs to be changed it would be awesome!
thanks in advance and if this has been posted i apologize i must have missed seeing it...
also running 4/23 built and it reads mine no problems,, bad flash?
I'm thinking its possably something to do with a lib file as both clicking on external SD and internal SD both go to the internal SD... using astro file manager I can see both fine... but not when I use a stock app... *shrug* I also can't afford to try and reinstall it as I'm no where near home for the next 5 days either and if I screw up I'm without a phone...

you can try flashing it over and see if that helps, this time use fix permission and it could also be a bad download, what i would do is re-download, go back to phone stock , and while you're there factory reset the phone( back up all your other data ) , flash kernels to get red cmw ( entropy DD ) and then flash latest cm9
I recently installed a 64gb. I had to go back to stock to get it recognized. Then when I reinstalled CM9, I found it under /mnt/emmc.

Go to the themes and apps forum - See Axiomkids mods and tweaks for this build. Go to number 5 in the OP. Although it says it won't recognize the external sd it does for my phone . I only have an 8 gb card, don't know if that makes a difference. Hope this helps. Edit- Here's the link. I used the1.1.4 version. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389375
Thanks... phone can find it now... but music and video apps still don't "see" it..
Is there a "string" (?) command i can use in the terminal console to change where its looking...
seems to be finding the "external SD" folder but not the actual card...
Seems very odd to me cause both when i flashed back, googles' stock apps found it, and as well as the cm 7.2.0 release found the external sd card in the right spot.
Now flashing cm 9.0 (05/02/12) it finds the external sd folder on the internal sd, but still doesn't find the external sd...

thanks for that, i have just gone completely stock, then rooted, flashed cm7, now back to cm 9, and still nothing. yet cm7 and stock can find all the music n videos on my external sd fine with the native built-in music/video apps... once i install cm9 they don't "see" it or recognize it... tho when i go thru astro file manager i can see it just fine... *shrug*
Google Play Music did not find my songs despite following their instructions. Winamp & the music player did.

Did a clean install and wiped twice everything I could via cwm recovery... seems to be fine now - took me 3 hours to get back to a working stock... think my phone doesn't like the stock now after being on cm lol... anyways its working fine now... thanks to you guys on all your input... found it was a bad micro sd format when I formatted it (micro sd) from cm recovery the first time I installed cm9 on entropys first build... :banghead: shoulda thought of that earlier...

Ok well i've tried for hours now.. using Astro.. ES explorer and even the native my files application and i cant seem to move pictures from my phones storage to my EXT SD card... and something else i noticed.. is when i adjust my cameras settings to save to my external SD card it gives me an error as well but i can still read files off of it.. so whats wrong?
i'm running Clean rom 5.0
it worked before on Stock and Liquid smooth RC7 and RC8
no one? come on...
All I can say is try a clean install see if that fixes it, probably not that helpful but worth a shot.
You may want to backup everything to a computer in case this sd card fails on you. You should reformat the sd card (to Fat32) and see if this resolves your issue.

My ext. Card (32gb sandisk ultra micro SD) constantly corrupts random files. I don't think it is the card because this is the third card I've used with the same results. I can however use the card on my laptop and it works perfectly fine via the card adapter. If I put music or movies on the card from the laptop and try to use it on my phone the file won't work or works for a few seconds then stops. Also, when I save to my phones internal memory it works fine. Has anyone else had issue? I've tried factory resets and custom ROMs but its always the same result. ANY input would be greatly appreciated.

Tried it and it didnt help. I tried putting some files on my phones ext sdcard via usb cable from my laptop but it freezes in mid transfer. Also when I tried to make a Backup with CWM it wouldnt complete. So i wiped/formatted and fresh installed stock rom again and installed TWRP with the same results. I think its time to just give up. Also when I try and install SUPER USER it gets stuck in a boot loop. Frustrating.
ideas anyone
Okay I was able to flash cm10.1.2 and super user with twrp. Its crazy I can transfer media to the internal storage just fine but not to the SD card. I've factory reset with twrp and reinstalled stock and nothing seems to fix this.

I'm so glad someone has posted this issue, I can confirm it does exist on stock Rogers RUXUMA ROM with an external Sandisk 64GB class 10 card.
The problem especially occurs when downloading compressed files from the internet. They appear fine but when you try to extract them, they have CRC failures. Sometimes they are fine until you reboot the phone.
I have been trying to troubleshoot this issue for months, its a problem with MTP or exFat on this particular phone. I've tried both CWM and TWRP, no success. The old Gingerbread ROM which didn't have MTP or exFAT support works fine, I've gone back and tried dozens of times.
I'm just surprised nobody else has reported this.
