Tried to do a backup with Titanium Backup Pro today and got a message that the External SD could not be accessed. Couldn't access it with Root Explorer either. Took the card out and connected to PC, could read/write to card and all my data was there. Put card back into phone and used the file manager in TWRP Recovery. Again no luck. Tried "Mount" in TWRP but when I tap "ExtSD" it won't put in a checkmark and it can't be selected. I have no idea what to try next. I'm rooted on 4.1.2. Stock, TWRP recovery. Any ideas on how to fix will be appreciated.
Shut down your phone and take your card out and insert it to your pc. Transfer all your files to your pc and then format the sd card. After that transfer your items back to your sd card and put back into your phone. Boot it up and you should be good to go.

The phone can't see the card so I can't format it with the phone. If I format it with the PC which format should I use. Fat32, NTFS ?

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...
I went to the motorola and this is what it said about the sd card
Insert your microSD card
Remove the microSD Card Slot tray located on the back of the device.
Remove dummy microSD Card and insert your microSD card in the same slot.
Insert the microSD card slot tray
Do I have to buy a sd card

Yes. You need to supply your own card. A 32g card works well in my Xoom.

No, you have to format the microSD on a PC, no options are provided from the OS to do so.

I am not to computer saavy can you give me a description what I have to do now I got a 32sd card today.
Thanks
If you have a microSD reader, plug it into your PC and format it as FAT32...that's all there is to it. You may be able to do it through the Xoom over USB (as in plug your Xoom into your PC with the SD card in your Xoom), but I can't confirm that. You definitely don't want to format the Xoom itself though.
Once I do this, where well the sd card show up? I wish there was a file explorer built into the xoom

OK so I use Astro, and Androzip, and for some reason I can't get my Xoom to recognize the Sd card. I can access it through windows, but not at all through the Xoom. Is this just because I took the card straight from my phone and put it in the tablet without formatting it? Thanks

Rooted on beans R2. I have formatted my micro Sd card via PC with fat32. put the sd card in and everything seems fine untill I reboot phone. after reboot phone it comes up damaged SD card or empty files, plese format card.
this happens everytime I reboot my phone.
Any ideas??
Nothing!?? come on guys. I need your help here
I thought I read some where you're never supposed to format your SD card with your computer, it should only be through your phone.

maybe give some details about your Sdcard.
i have had some hit & misses with the lower quality SD cards available from like Microcenter or Fry's in those bulk clear cases...
also why not just boot into recovery & format the card from there & see if that works?
Its a lexar 10 class 32 gig. I didn't know you could format an SD card from recovery.
If you could give me an idea on some steps to take that would be very helpful and appreciated

Balls! In TWRP I wiped Data and System and now since all my files are gone I can't flash a ROM.
TWRP doesn't recognise my External SD either so what do I do?
When I turn on the tablet I do get 4 options:
Recovery
Android
USB
Download

when you choose recovery, what happens? you may need to reflash TWRP.

It opens up TWRP but from there I can't see my External SD and trying to select the External SD option does nothing. It's formatted at FAT32 and contains a zip for Clean ROM.

Oh, you are using a SD and not a MicroSD? If so, grab a MicroSD if you have one and insert it into the pad, not dock. It WILL see that.

If you can't get it to work, connect it to a PC and use adb to push the zip onto the tablet.

Yeah your SD card has to be Fat32 so you didn't say the name for the ROM so im guessing your on a CM but anyways use this program then format to Fat32 then it should be there Or if that doesn't work then format it .

Yes. You can copy the files over to another computer, format the card in the phone, and then transfer the files back however. Of course those write speeds can be pretty slow, so expect it to take a while if you have a lot of information stored on the card.
OK well I am not sure how to change my SD card Ro Fat32.. And I went to settings to format it and it does nothing. Right now I'm on stock ROM. The content of the SD card comes up like pics and all but when I go into recovery it doesn't let me change over to the card to save or restore... Any ideas?
