[Q] External SD Card Won't Flash Zips - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I currently have a problem I hope you guys can help me with. I have been flashing roms for almost a year now and the last couple of weeks, I can't seem to flash any zips that are stored on my Kingston 16GB Class 10 SD Card. I perform a MD5 check when the zips are on the card and they pass, but once you try to flash it using CWM or TWRP, it comes up bad and the MD5 number changes so it no longer matches. I have tried multiple formats of the card and even ran error checking of the card and all tests have passed. What's weird is that this card is only a couple months old. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix it?

If can get your hands on one, try a different SD card just to see what happens.

Yeah tried a 8gb one and it works so I am guessing the couple freezes I have had by using USB Mass Storage in CM 10.1 has caused it to be corrupted. Thanks.

[Q] Why Can't I Mount SD Card in CWM?

I tried to install the newest version of prime by micro sd card in cwm. Everytime I try to install zip from sd it says error cant mount sd card. I have installed it before without any issues. I formated sd card and tried to do again. no go. I then restarted tab to see if it was showing on tool bar and it was and showed the zip in sd. I then tried to mount in cwm and it had error again. I decided to unroot and start from scratch. still same issue in cwm. please tell me what the issue is.
This happens when your sdcard is not propperly formated. Try THIS
Format it as fat32 and everything will be alright!

I'm more inclined to believe PhatUgly on this one. I've formatted some microSD cards FAT32 and they didn't mount correctly. Did just about everything I could to remove and restore volumes, reformat, etc. Nothing worked, but it may have been a bad card. Or, it could be that there's more to it than just formatting. I'll have to try it with the SD Formatter linked in #2 above and see.
Im having similar issues as well. I got my tf for christmas (woohoo) but have had nill success with full size sd cards, and as a note I did update to the latest firmware before anything, that may be related.
Ive tried rebooting, formatting fat32 and ntfs, ive tried taking my working 32gb microsd, putting into an adapter and still wont, or any combination of things ive mentioned. I tried the above mentioned sd formatter with no luck.
Also of note, this is the sd card I got that works everywhere else but my tf:

Any other options other than RMA?

[Q] SD Card Error

So I had rooted my phone no problem, been using it for over 2 months now. Again, no problem what so ever. I've just installed CM7 on my mytouch 4g slide and noticed a lot of bugs that still needed to be worked out. so I wiped my phone clean and restored it to an earlier date. After I did that, my sd card has been giving me an error as stated "SD card blank or unsupported filesystem." I've tried formatting it, other SD cards and nothing works. is there anyone that can help?!
i wouldn't know how that happened to your sdcard, but when you say you tried formatting it, how did you format it? i once got an sdcard from an ebay purchase, and it gave me that very same message and was unusable(and formatting it with the phone wasn't working). i made it usable by formatting it with a program called SDFormatter, which i downloaded free for Windows. took a montrously long time for the format, but once it was done, the sdcard was fine.
that sucks that you seem to have lost all your stuff tho?
Try flashing a different ROM. The CM7 we have is still in alpha. Give Team Douche time to work out the bugs.
the problem doesn't seem to be the SD card. because all the data was still there. I tried using another SD card thinking maybe that was the problem but it gave me the same error.
I've already factory reset my phone and its still showing the same problem
Could be dust in the SD card slot or some other debris. Try a little bit of compressed air..

I installed the SDFormatter program you mentioned and formatted my wife's 16gig card. Prior to the format the card wouldn't mount in either of our phones and very sporadically on the PC. Now the card will mount without a problem and is usable again.
Thanks bud,

[Q] Damaged SD Card Help

I have a Samsung Galaxy Showcase I500 i was on stock 2.3.5 and i decided to flash a custom rom so i installed newest miui rom for I500 1.12.9 i think.. So my problem is that if i reboot my phone it seems to make the sd card corrupt. which isnt really a problem because i always keep it on. The first time it happened though my phone rebooted on its own and was kind of glitchy. Since then i have had the sd card damaged problem 2 more times but when i rebooted once and once when i pushed files from my computer to my sd card in usb storage mode. i really like this rom but i cant continue to reformat my sd card every couple of days and reload music download album cover redownload themes etc...its getting old... any help would be greatly appreciated. by the way i have tried reformatting with my computer and my phone so i know that wont fix it.

Reformat
Reformat your SD card by right clicking -> properties -> and format it. See if this helps. Also, try using another SD card to see if it is just your SD card or your phone that is bad. Deduce and solve
i have tried all of this reformatting from my phone from my computer every which way i could. i have used my disk management and nothing works. i decided to keep my 8 gb in there it is working without flaw. but both the 16 gb ones just keep getting corrupted. This is weird because when i tried installing miui with my 16 gb sd card it wouldnt work so after pulling my hair out for two days i found a post where someone said to use an 8 gb card to install it and i did and it worked perfectly. i guess this phone rom doesnt like 16 gb sd cards.

go to settings>storage>erase sd card or format it in fat32 via pc
When my SD card is mounted, it isn't detected on my PC, so I can't reformat or erase.

did you try mounting from recovery? I have a sd card usb adapter. It is really handy and I suggest that everyone who flashes picks one up. They don't cost much and let you get at you sd card directly through the pc.
Yes,that is must have if you flash roms all the time like the most of us do.
I got one for like 4 euros,and its life saver.

Usually XDA always has someone who knows what to do in all situations, but in your case it might be a hardware error. Something might not be connecting properly... and that can't be fixed with software solutions. I'm not sure if this is the case here, but a thought to consider.

Anyone else getting this problem ??????
I have meet this problem some days ago when I bought a new 16G class6 TF card from KingMax, this card have no problem when using it on PC, but when I using it in my sensation, it always "removed unexpectedly", after change it with a new SANDISK 16G class4 TF card, every thing was OK till now.
So I think it should be a compatibility problem, you can try to using other brand card.
I have the same problem with my HTC Sensation XE phone.
After using an app/game that saves info on the SD card, an error appears that reads: "SD card unexpectedly removed" and all apps that are installed on the SD card are no longer usable, nor is any information (pictures/videos) accessible. The SD card basically becomes invisible to the phone.
I have not tried another SD card yet, but I am reading other people have tried, and it doesn't help. I may try in a week though, when I plan to purchase another one.
Here is some info about my phone:
I have already done all its updates - it has SENSE 3.6 and runs on Android 4.0.3.
It has never been rooted, it runs on the original HTC software.
I am using an 16GB SD card on it - major brand, I believe it is SanDisc.
Also now the problem always appears when I try to update an app that is installed on the SD card, or when I try to record a video - in these two instances I always get the error now, and it gets very annoying.
The phone will randomly get the error on other occasions too.
The only thing that fixes this is to restart the phone 2 times in a row, as by first restart the SD card is still invisible. Another way is to manually remove the battery.
Anyone has any idea how to fix this problem?
I am surprised that I cannot find a clear answer and fix for this problem anywhere, even though so many people have this problem.
Please, help!
You might want to order a new card.perhaps it got corrupted somehow? Do you have a card reader for your computer so you can test the card its self and see if the reader or computer recognizes the card? You can find readers really cheap and they are very good to have. If the reader won't recognize it, It's definitely the card, if the reader does recognize it It's likely your device. First thing I'd try is a new card. Especially if you don't have a reader to check it. Hope this helps.

It's an issue
Hello Everyone,
I have an issue to report. For a long time I have been chasing this bug, although I was thinking is a hardware issue.
Here is the issue:
From time to time I have been experiencing an "SD card unexpectedly removed". I was thinking that my sd card is not ok. I have changed the sd card, formated, who knows what else I have been doing, but at the end the same issue.
I started to hate my HTC Sensation 4G. Reading forums, but no help.
I have noticed that this issue does not happens when I install Cyanogen Mod 9.1, but the software from htc same result.
Now let me tell you what ROM I am using and which version and how do I reproduce the issue.
phone: HTC Sensation 4G
Android version 4.0.3
HTC Sense version 3.6
Software number 3.33.401.153
Baseband version 11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M
Build number 3.33.401.153 CL391535 release keys
I have been using the rom from HTC Sensation XE, but the issue also occurred and on the HTC Sensation 4G ROM.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
1. I have installed SDCardTester https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.anotherflexdev.sdcardtester.SDCardTester&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImFpci5jb20uYW5vdGhlcmZsZXhkZXYuc2RjYXJkdGVzdGVyLlNEQ2FyZFRlc3RlciJd
2. Start the SDCardTester
3. During the testing process call yourself from another cell phone.
4. Problem occurred. "SD card unexpectedly removed"
Also sometimes issue is reproduced when mobile data is ON and there is writing/reading to the SD Card.
Can someone else to try to reproduce this issue and to confirm this problem.
Thanks
Ok i have been facing the same issue...earlier this issue only came when i used ttorrent..but now suddenly it is coming everytime..i first thought its a hardware issue with maybe the card or card reader slot in phone..but if it was a hardware related issue the card also wouldnt show up in the recovery..but in recovery it shows up just fine n i even flashed rom from recovery where setup was in sdcard..this is surely kernel or os issue

SD card issues, pleas help

Ok so I have a authentic Sandisk 32gb class 10 sd card. I t has randomly started to not mount in my phones. And when it does I will get errors copying data to it and such. I have formatted it in exfat and fat 32 using both the phone utility as well as windows to format it. I even did the full format that takes forever. It seems to mount in windows just fine every time. I can copy files to it with no issues. But both TWRP and CWM give error about can't mount external SD card as does my rom I cam currently running. Does this sound like a bad sd card or is it an issue with my phone? I am 8 days past my return policy on amazon currently and it just now is giving me issues. Please help me trouble shoot this guys. I don't want to attempt an RMA with sandisk if I can fix something phone wise. I flash a lot of roms and such but I HIGHLY doubt that has anything to do with it. I even reflashed my recovery and tried different versions with no luck!
Mods: if this will get more help in a different forum please feel free to move it for me
Ugh. Any help guys? I have still been messing around with it and the card seems to function perfect under windows and passes all scans and such but will either not mount in the phone or has errors doing other things while in the phone
Update: I did more formats and reflashing recovery and still no luck. I copied the rom to the 32gb card with zero issues on windows. Tried to flash it on phone and twrp gave errors. Copied same rom to an old 2gb card I have and it flashed perfect. Is it my phone or is it the card? Card works perfect in windows. 2gb card works perfect on both! Is it possible for something on my phone jacked up that would make it only work with the 2gb and not the 32gb card? Scans never show a single issue in windows!!!!!!!!!!

What happens if you try the 32 GB microSD card in another phone out of curiosity?
