Hi, hoping for some help. I am running PAC-rom (latest nightly) and am encountering the following situation.
My phone and internal memory (sdcard0) works fine without a microsd plugged in.
As soon as I plug in any Microsd (tried a 32gb and 4gb and 8gb) the phone loads the contents of the microsd (external and sdcard1 I believe), but then sdcard0 does not get mounted.
Seems it only wants to run one or the other. I have tried searching and came across ideas of formatting etc, but nothing seems to get them to work together. Has anyone else encountered this? Any ideas?
Let me know if any additional information is required to troubleshoot.
Thanks!
Sounds like a software fluke ... Try falling back to the latest stock ROM ucmc1 via Odin and perform cleanup ... Wipe and factory reset. Then do a clean install if your favorite custom ROM following their installation directions from their xda page.

I'm also having the same issue. Have took it it re-inserted, wiped it, nothing fixes it. I'm running CM10 with twrp

I haven't gone to stock but have the issue on the latest CM as well as PACman.
I guess a better question would be whether anyone running these roms DOES NOT have the issue?

I flashed the MHX Superlite 4.5 yesterday. Media scanner "starts" whenever I open gallery or music or any app that accesses media. Songs/pictures on my external SD card would not be recognized by either stock music player,play music,gallery
I flashed MHX Superlite 5.0 today. The problem persists. I searched the thread and found that someone suggested to run "SUPERIPE" then reflash.........I'm assuming they meant Superwipe. I ran Superwipe TWICE, re flashed and still no change.
Fortunately there is no stick when restarting or shutting down, but I could live with that.............Need my music
Thanks
Update: I have tried a new ROM AND a new sd card and the problem persists!
how big is your media stick? brand?

sounds like you might have filesystem problems with the sd card? i suggest you copy all your stuff off it using the mount usb storage option in cwm (mounts and storage > usb), and then format /sdcard under cwm, or remove the card, format it under a windows computer, and reinsert it.
formatted the sd card (while connected to my PC and using the default FAT32 setting)
problem persists

I've had pretty good luck doing the following to fix strange errors:
Wipe data
Format system twice
Format data twice
Format cache twice
Run superwipe
Flash rom
Wipe cache and dalvik before first boot (this requires holding the volume buttons on the superlite 5 install at the appropriate time)
I'm sure this method is at least 50% superstition on my part, but it works for me every time.
I just want to state for anyone who ever reads this
I finally got the media scanner to work
Method
flashed through Odin original skyrocket leak
Flashed cwm
Ran super wipe
Flash ROM

I had the same problem, with a different ROM. I think there was something corrupt or messed up on the internal sd card, cuz after I moved everything to the computer, it worked fine. The one click worked because it wipes the emmc. I went straight from GB to a ICS rom, that's why I had a problem.

I woke up and found that somehow my wall paper had reset itself, and the media scanner was not working again. Thanks to what you said, I knew to format the Emmc and media scanner works again.
I did remove everything from the SD card to my PC and format the card a few days earlier but that didn't solve the problem.
It seems you understand what's going on. Could you explain a little more. I rather understand than just know to format emmc
Thanks
To be quite honest, I'm not 100% sure what causes media scanner to lock up. From what I read elsewhere on the internet, it could be a corrupt file, or maybe its just that ICS's media scanner handles files differently than GB's media scanner. I'm leaning more toward the latter, as GB media scanner never had a problem when running a GB ROM, and there is some reason as to why the one click ICS was designed to wipe the emmc (internal sd card).
Hope that helps clear any confusion!

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.
So did Album Art Grabber.

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...

Hopefully I can explain this well enough. I installed CM 10.1 through cmupdater. Before I read the forum saying do NOT do this. Well I have used odin and gotten back to stock, and also now have rooted, and reinstalled CM10. My only problem now is my ext SD is always giving me errors. It does work properly some of the time, but I know it should not be doing this. I have read in a couple places that I should try reformatting the SD, but when go to the settings menu and storage there is not an option to format. Any ideas?
Plug it into the computer and format it to Fat32. If it's 64gb then you need to download a third party program to reformat it to Fat32.
This is semi-related, if you're on JB 4.2 then make sure you have a JB 4.2 compatible recovery. Either CWM 6.0.1.9 or TWRP 2.3.2.3

So I thought I'd give this a try. Went and bought a card reader, and it won't recognize my sd on Mac or Windows PC. I tried my wifes SD just to see if the reader wasn't working properly, and it recognizes hers right away. Is it possible the card could've gotten fried somehow or is there something else I could try?
The sdcard very well could be on its last leg. If you can't get it recognized in a computer to reformat or even copy the content over, then there's nothing else you can physically do. Your best bet would be to either get a warranty replacement or purchase a new one.

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.
Don't install custom ROMs on top of each other.

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.
I have a SCH-R530U US Cellular GS3 running on JB 4.2.2 with AOKP's mr1 build 5.
Kernel: 3.0.67-aokp-00038-g5a02406
I'm bored of this ROM and want to try Liquid Smooth for the features and hopeful battery life extension. I have been trying to get my phone back to stock EVERYTHING every couple weeks for the last few months now, and have not found any stock rom/kernel files that do anything other then brick my device into a hard boot loop. I have a NANDROID backup, so all is not lost, but I'm just so sick of not being able to find ONE file that will give me stock kernel and stock ROM so I can try a new ROM with new features and speed. I would flash LS over the AOKP build, I just haven't found any info on whether or not the ROM is compatible with my kernel, or if that's even an factor and Iv freaked out too many times over thinking my phone was F$*!ed to be that ballsy in trying something without having exact instructions or some sort of literature/video. So Id rather be safe then sorry and start completely fresh.
Also to get rid of all the non-sense i have on my phone from flashing tons of files to get rid of AOKP, and not knowing how to delete them.
The other issue. My SD card isn't recognized by anything. I cant move apps to my SD card with any app out there, the file is emulated and what i think happened was somehow, I ended up with two SD card files, and they have mixed files in them. So being as newb as I am, idk what files i need to keep in order for proper functioning of my phone and which I can delete, so i can move apps to the SD card and pictures and all that stuff to free up space on my phone. Im more then willing to delete everything on the card, but that wont fix my unorganized internal file clusterf$!*#.
Iv seriously being looking for months, downloaded ADB toolkit to try and get stock back that way, but just another boot loop.
TL;DR
1. Need stock ROM/kernel files for my version that will actually work and not bootloop me.
2. Can any ROM be flashed over any kernel, or are there restrictions with specific ones?
3. How can I fix my SD card problem (not recognizable by any App2SD app; literally none -says my SD card is emulated), with messed up internal files?
PLEASE HELP!!!!
Through your recovery do a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik) Sounds like you want to wipe your internsl sd too? Depending on where you keep your info you can wipe your internal SD but it's not necessary.
When you flash a ROM it will come with it's own kernel so you don't have to worry if a ROM is compatible with your kernel. Just make sure you flash a ROM that is compatible with US Cellular.

Thank you for your reply, honestly.
I vaguely remember doing a full wipe (system, cache, delvik, and data) and it not fixing the issue. But, I will try again. I'm more concerned about my SD card issue and all the messed up files. Will wiping all this fix that? Using ES explorer, I have about six /0 files... Idk if you know much about that, but from what I've learned, within that ONE /0 file, there should be storage for my SD card (data/media) and of course, there's nothing there. So, do you think or do you know that doing a full system wipe will remedy the problems? No tone intended, not trying to be a jerk, simple curious for the future.
Just format the SD card. Wipe everything off if your comfortable with losing the info. You can save important stuff top your CPU if necessary.

Won't formatting the SD card just erase everything anyway? This would fix my "corrupt" file issue though, correct? The multiple files and unoraginzation?
