ROM: CM 11-20140204-NIGHTLY-skyrocket
I've done some searches and was not able to find anyone with the same issue as me. So, erased my SD card through the ROM (Settings > Storage > Erase SD card
I rebooted the phone,and it told me there was a blank SD card in there and I needed to format it. Well, every time I try to format it, my phone reboots. I tried doing it through recovery, and it told me error mounting SD card.
Any ideas on how to fix this or is my SD card shot? It was working perfectly fine before I erased it. I would plug it into a computer, but i don't have an adapter.
Thanks in advance!
Format it in your computer. Use FAT32 file system and do a quick format.

its not really an adapter, its the usb cable that came with the phone or any samsung cable, blackberry cable and many others might even work
Vin his problem isn't the cable bro it formatted incorrectly the phone doesn't recognize it and can't mount it via recovery to format it. He just needs to toss it on a computer and do it from there.

No error... Just the internal card showed up. I tried mounting it and then plugging in the phone, same thing. Really strange. Yea, adapter isn't a huge deal, just caught me off card that it reboots my phone when I try to format it through the ROM.

I have a question regarding the external SD card. My applications wont run and it says error while launching application. And when I connect it via usb, the selection appears for kies, media, and mass storage. If i choose media, it will show on my computer, but if i choose mass storage, it just goes back to my home screen. I am really buffed because i can browse the contents of the SD card if i use the internal file manager.
I would appreciate the help...

You could just get another copy of tb from the market... But wiping your caches(and fixing permissions) won't effect your sd card or any data on it.

Were you using some sort of app 2 sd? Perhaps you put a partition on it? What rom? Help us help you

After formatting and returning the files back to SD card, the error still persist... Will this error disappear if i flash to GB?
Do you have the option of mounting/un-mounting your card or does it just say mount SD? If it only says mount SD then your card is gone.

it does have unmount option. I can also see the disk spaces and also i can browse the files with the stock file browser. Bt, im now running GB 2.3.6 and still I am experiencing the problem... formatting did not fix the problem...
When you formatted it on the PC was it set as primary?
Were you trying to update your ROM by saving your apps on the sd card then reloading them onto 2.3.6? I was wondering about doing this. Maybe gingerbread and froyo read apk's differently, and if they are already installed on sd card I could see problems arising. Never worked when I tried that with any windows formatting

My first hand experience yesterday was not very successul because my SD Card is acting strangely coz it did run some apps on the new rom and the others shows error while launching. I'm on the process of reflashing and i'll post update once i'm done and run some tests...
Ok, this has me baffled. I posted this in the Sky ICS 4.2E.1 thread, but I'm hoping I get better response here. I can't move or add any files to my 32GB Sandisk ext SD. I also can't remove what's on it. When I connect with USB Storage mode the card shows up as a drive (as well as another for my internal). I can see the contents in the drive. I can drag/drop and copy/paste and the files show up in the ext. drive. But as soon as I disconnect the files are not there. (I checked to be sure I'm moving full files, not creating shortcuts).
I tried mounting and unmounting. I tried to format the card using my SR, but get a message saying "the SD card is currently being checked". It doesn't format. I checked the disk using my PC - it says no errors. I then tried formatting it using my PC. It said it formatted, but as soon as I disconnect and boot into recovery the same files are still there.
I can still access the files stored on it (music files play fine), but can't add or remove anything to or from it. Really a bummer 'cause I want to do some flashing. Any ideas?

You ever put it into a micro SD to SD card adapter
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
No - I have one somewhere. I also have a 4GB micro somewhere. If I can find them I'll try both. I read the SR will accept a 64. If I need to buy a new card that's what I want, but don't want to plunk down $70-80 until I know it's the card
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Ok, looks like my SD is bad. Just used a 4GB I had laying around. Inserted into my SR and it works fine. Also used an adapter and plugged the 32 directly into my PC. Can't edit any files.
Very weird that my SR can still read the files that are stored on it. I just can't change the files. Oh well, at least now I have a reason to order that 64 I've been wanting.
So I think I've tried absolutely everything (that I can think of at least), but I can't seem to format my External SD Card. I've tried from CWM, from Windows 7 from and from an old Windows XP machine. I've when connecting to the computers I've done a manually deletion of everything on the SD-Card only to un mount it and re-mount it and find everything is still there. As well as right clicking on the drive and selecting format and then un mounting and remounting and finding everything is back. What is really weird is that everything indicates like it works but once I unmounted my SD-Card and then remounted it, it just comes back. I've also gone into root explorer and tried deleting it from there. If anyone has any other ideas I would sure be grateful to hear them. Thanks. Also my phone is CM 9.1.0 with root (obviously).
How are you mounting your sd card on the computer? You are only using your phone or you have an external reader?
If you are only using your phone the issue may come from there and you should try an external reader.
Also to format it in windows try right clicking our computer>manage>manage storage and there find your card an try formatting it.

@kishke I'm using my phone to mount my SDcard, I don't have an external SDcard reader on me at the moment. I could definitely give it a shot. I'll update you on how that goes. I'm also going to try the comment below as well. I did try and do a windows format and that didn't work either. So definitely stumped on this one.
Discovered some new info
So I found out that my external SDcard isn't writeable... but I checked the permissions in system/etc/permissions/platform.xml and everything looked good. Any different ideas out there?

Yes. If you have a dedicated card-reader for your PC then it will almost certainly be quicker for transfering the files than using your phone in the middle.

g8.close thread.
What phone are you actually using? If you're trying to transfer files from your PC to your Phone, by using its USB cable should make the work easily done. But if its an older phone, a card reader is the best option that you can get. Just in case that you are using a smartphone that kinda latest or even not quite latest, you can try using AirMore. Its an app that you can use to wirelessly transfer your files from phone to PC and vice versa.

I hate to bump an old topic but I didn't want to make a new thread dealing with the same issue. I bought a new 32gb class10 microsd and my GS3 is really flaky when it comes to reading it. Sometimes it recognizes it but most of the time it doesn't. I know it's not the card because it still works just fine in my laptop and in a crappy android tablet I had lying around. I reformatted it using my computer and using TWRP recovery and it still won't work properly.
16GB card instead of 32GB
Has anyone seen where using a 16GB card instead of a 32GB card helps? This 32GB Sandisk card I have is brand new and formatted FAT32. It kind of defeats the whole purpose of having an S3 if the external SD doesn't work. I gave my HTC One to my son because I thought it would be cool to have more storage with the S3.

I would also be interested in a fix, not a workaround. I have tried all the "workarounds" and they do not fix this problem. I have tried all manner of microSD cards, including a SAMSUNG branded card. I have tried plugging into the computer and mounting and unmounting USB properly. I have tried the "catch it and manually mount & unmount on the phone and then turn off and back on". None of the microSD cards are the problem, I can see all the data on them in a card reader on my computer.
My WAG at this problem is that it is something inherent to the way this phone acts when plugged into a computer. Something about mounting and unmounting over USB gets it all confused. The problem (I am guessing) might be that this phone is basically set to automount whenever plugged into a USB device. On my HTC, the phone would just charge on USB unless you specifically clicked on a notification, to turn on USB storage mode. The SG3 does not have this feature...you don't get a choice. I see the selection boxes for either MTP or Camera, but you have to choose just one or the other, you cannot just choose nothing. Sometimes I just want to plug the phone into a computer USB just to charge it, but I cannot choose for it not to mount the phone and/or storage, and that means I can't use my phone as a phone because it is in USB mode when it's plugged into the computer. Ugh.
I am a complete n00b at this, but it seems like there are a lot of uber-knowledgeable members here who must understand what's going on with this situation. It just seems to me that there must be some way to sort of "reset" the state of the card slot, to the known state. Because the phone obviously is having trouble figuring that out on its own.

Yep, running stock (4.3 OTA)...just rooted, that's all. My bad, I just realized I *can* use it as a phone when it's on USB...which seems not right, but maybe that's just what I was used to before--unable to use as phone when USB mounted (on my HTC). My family had told me they were getting weird messages when they'd try to call, during times I was on USB, and I assumed it was the USB mount when it was apparently something else.
But, the problem remains, I can't seem to have it NOT mounted as USB when it's plugged into my computer, or other device. And that seems to be what causes the microSD to get all fouled up. This phone is pretty new to me, and I didn't have any problems until I plugged the USB into the computer with a microSD card in it. My step-daughter has another Samsung phone (Exhibit, maybe??) and she says hers does the same thing when she plugs it into a computer.
I have always removed it from the computer properly, whenever there is an option for me to do so. Problem is, it will show up as mounted on the phone and computer (only the phone and not the card, if my phone thinks the card is unmounted), but I don't always get an unmount (or eject) prompt on my computer. And, the phone apparently doesn't have a way to do that manually, either. In those cases, I just turn off the phone before I unplug the USB. I thought that would be the best choice in that scenario...? Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it.

For the 2 paragraph
U have ur fone plug but on ur pc ur sdcard is not being read correct?
Try settings/development options /usb debugging (i think its under there i haven't used stock in a while)
If that dont work i suggest putting that card into ur pc to see if it reads it on its own. If ur pc dnt read sdcards or dnt have a adaptor then use a different device
Back up ur file and format it
For paragraph 1

The card keeps unmounting in the phone, but then if I take the card out of the phone and put it back in the phone, and the phone finally reports it mounted--I still cannot see the sd card on computer. (probably because the phone unmounts it again pretty immediately) I get no sd card errors, just the message that it was "unexpectedly removed". If I pull out the sd card and read through a card reader on computer, it reads just fine. I have already tried reformatting, both on the phone, then on the computer, then a full format on the computer (unchecking Quick Format). Nothing has worked permanently. The phone keeps getting its panties in a wad and unmounting the card. Then sometimes, it will randomly mount it again, only to unmount it again later. One hugely weird thing I've noticed, that I am not sure whether it is coincidental or not, but sometimes once it's mounted, and I go to put the back cover on my phone, it gets unmounted while I'm doing that.
And I do have Superuser. I also have Triangle Away (set to auto reset at boot--should I uncheck that??), adbd Insecure (didn't know if I needed it but got it just in case), and Mobile Odin (which I've never used). And TWRP recovery. And by the way, the external sd card disappeared once when I was trying to use it through TWRP recovery. So, should just go back to 100% unrooted 4.3 stock with stock recovery and see if that clears it up? (Thinking that if I still have the problem at that point--then the phone itself is just defective...?)

I'm on the 4.3 OTA, and have a sandisk 32g class 10 card I picked up at Radio Shack. Never had any issues with the phone accessing it (and it's loaded with 25g of media and data), or with the PC accessing it.

I've tried several different sizes/classes. What I have in there now is a 32g class 10 Transcend card. I can write to it from the phone and read it on the PC when the phone is mounted, but only if the stupid phone doesn't randomly decide to unmount the card. So, maybe it actually *is* the hardware that's hosed. Are you rooted on 4.3? Just trying to figure out if that makes any difference with the sd card situation.
If u took the 4.3ota u shouldn't have twrp custom recovery or non tw rom will brick ur fone. Leave those settings as it
