[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,

SD card problem

Hey guys!
I have strange problem, see I have 2 sd cards, one inside my htc hd 2 (gb) and one in tf300. I just reflashed rom back to CROMI (I have tried hydro by seanz) and tablet cant load my sdcard.
Its kinda weird because, when Im in TWRP, I can see the sd card and files on it. The card works without any problems on my htc and on my laptop. I have tried to format it to FAT32, exFAT and tablet cant load it. I have tried to put sd card from my htc to tablet and this one runs pretty much normally.
Well, if one card wasnt 4gigs, and the other one 32gigs I would just swap them and be done, but this is strange and Im not sure why its behaving like this.
Does anyone have some tip? Thanks

you didnt happen to remove any system app apks did you? i removed a bunch once and experienced same issue.
However if you didnt remove any system apps. Then i would first suggest using minitool partition wizard and format the SD card FAT32 as a primary partition. Then use windows to format it exFAT (its better to use but TWRP and CWM dont see the sd card then) but its worth it cause then you can store files greater than 4 gb on the SD card. Or just stick with FAT32 to eaches own lol.
If still a no go, try flashing the ROM again.

hey mate thanks for replying no Im sure I didnt remove any system apks. Im not sure where was the problem, but I did restore my backup and now everything is fine as usual. Since it was really simple to solve this issue, I apologize that I didnt try this before I posted, but it never ocured to me that this issue could be solved by reflash since different sd card was runing without flaw.
Anyway thank you for participating and for your time :angel:

+1 elesbb's post!
Note:
Using an sdcard in another unit can cause strange issues including not being able to boot.
Even going from rom to rom can sometimes cause problems with leftover files.
Format as suggested in pc and use in one unit only unless you reformat.

[Q] Error installing app Can not install USB storage or SD card

I recently updated my external SD card.
Transfered all the information from the old one to the new one, VIA Windows PC.
Seems like all went fine until I went to one program I thought was installed PPSSPP
Seeing as it wasnt showing up now I tried re-installing it.
Now with the play store it says after downloading that the app
Could not be installed on USB storage or SD card.
Looking at troubleshooting here is what I did so far.
I did look for the file smdl2tmp1 and did not find it anywhere.
Unmounted the SD and rebooted , install of PPSSPP and says same error.
Removed SD and booted , still same error on install.
Dirty Flash Rom.
loaded Rom Toolbox lite and changed app2sd location.
Same error on everything I tried.
The only thing I can come up with is that there is a file that is causing problems that I cannot find where it is.
Any suggestions without doing a full flash and reinstall?
HTC EVO 4g LTE
Carbon Rom 4.4.1
Any thing to help is greatly appreciated
Update tried downloading and installing another app and getting same error , on something that I never installed before.
Update 2. Wiped SD internal and external , did not work. Same error

are you sure the SD card is not fake? for years now, ebay fradulent sellers peddle 4gb cards with a 32gb filesystem. After going over 4gb, the files are just copied to dev/null, but their names are still present in the allocation table
so plug your card to a computer and check it with any flashdrive utility

If you are unable to write in the external sdcard using a file manager too then - back up external card's data, connect to windows pc in usb mass storage mode and format it in fat32 format.
It should fix the issue.

This happened with the origional 32 GB card, then I did put a FAT32 64 GB card in the phone. Moved data over to new card.
It reads in windows fine. and both are fat 32.
Also tried installing without card installed and gave same error.
Titanium backup files will not reload, and even some amazon ones wont, but updates do most of the time.
Another thing I noticed is that my internal is GB for apps, that has about 300 MB left. I think this may have something to do with it so moved data over to SD.
Just tested about 3 restarts and finally went with a paid app, Tried changing default install to auto , internal and SD. didtn really make a difference.

[sOLVED] XPERIA L C2104 hangs after 1-2 minutes of boot.

Hi!! I tried everything, flashed stock firmware which worked for me every time. But now the phone just hangs after a minute of boot. I can see status bar and nav buttons but its black screen in main screen. I am unable to turn on developer tools because of this so can't even root phone or anything. Please help.
I used 'root external 2 internal sd' application from playstore earlier which caused the phone to not boot at all. So I flashed stock firmware. And now this problem
The application showed 16 GB internal and 16 GB external when I tried it.

I just tried to quickly go and check storage. It says 0 in internal storage and nothing as external. Can it be because of this?? Any fix? :/

May be your partitions are not read properly or they have become corrupt
. Do you flash the full ftf along with the wipe data option turned on ?
If not then do try this.

Format your sd card using your phone. Search Google play for a good app to format and format your external sd card as fat32.
Best of luck.
Hit thanks if it helped.

[Q] Can't install a game!

I am running an SGH-T599 with CM11 4.4.4. I am trying to install Mortal Kombat X, but every time I try, I get an error saying "Couldn't install app. Not enough storage available on the external storage," or something close to that. I know for a FACT that I have enough room on the external SD card. The problem is that it's trying to install on the internal memory, which I don't have enough space on. (The internal memory is only 1.44 GB, the game is 1.5) Is there a way to get it to install the data on to the SD card by default? I was able to do this on my old ZTE Savvy, which ran Android 4.1.2. Thank you for the help, as this problem is HIGHLY annoying.

Try this: Set Install Location to SDCard by default
If that doesn't help, see how to do it using Link2SD here:
How to completely setup for using Link2SD
(It requires that your phone is rooted)

Thanks, but I have no access to a computer.
Is there a way to partition the SD card without a computer?

Yes, check this: Partition SD Card from rooted phone
Make sure you have a backup of the memory card safe somewhere, since data can be lost in the process depending upon the partition size

What about receiving no error just the ''Could not install app''?
I can install from Playstore but thats not the point. Should work both ways

I also could not install from playstore, my internal storage has 3gb free how to fix?

Try to delete the google play services cache

Have you tried it?
