I know people had sd card issues and everyone was told to format sd cards with fat32 right ? Well anyway I keep having sd card issues with my go backup & restore pro it keeps showing the read / write sd card issue please see my screen shot.
This is the only app that does this on my verizon m8, I"am on viperone, it did it on 1.8 and still does it on 2.4.0 with the new firmware installed.
I have tried many different cards and formatting them all and it still does that, also uninstalled the app over and over removing all files associated with that app. It more than just shows that, all my back ups always fail. I"am just wondering if this is the same sd card issue ?
Forgot the screen shot showing the error.

Hi guys need a little help here..
So my phone froze up earlier today and seemed that it shutdown, so no problem right, battery pull then reboot... Unfortunately, after rebooting after the "preparing sd card" prompt it said "Damaged SD Card" sd card damaged you.may have to reformat it.
Any ideas..??? I'm quite confused too as my sd-ext is mounting fine and I can go ahead and open it via root explorer, and I'm sure it's fine coz I'm able to open apps that I know are on SD.. but what's up with th fat32..? Sadly I don't have any backups.. any workarounds I can try before reformatting everything..? (Not even sure if reformat will do any good, as it is possible that the card itself got corrupt, though hopefully not)
Suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks!!

Alright so HM you are spot on my friend, tried reading it on the PC and loaded just fine, so I ran chkdsk and selected both options, slapped it back on my phone et voila! Good as new! Thanks for the help, I panicked a little and posted this straight away via mobile app, as it got "damaged" while I was in the office and had no means of checking my SD card via PC.. Again many thanks!
Although 1 question comes in mind, what could've caused this? As of course I would definitely want to prevent this from happening in the future.
if you could not reformat it through usual way, try low level format. work on me all the time when my sd card corrupted. but you have u back up first while u still can cuz when its done, kinda hard to get back up the data.
I would also check for a corrupted file somewhere on your SD card. It will be the one that you were working on before the freeze. If you go and try to delete it, surpirise, it won't delete. I had this same problem and ended up just renaming the folder "bug". Tried to move it over to PC and use Unlocker or File Assassin and no luck. Finally ended up pulling everything off the card and reformating completely.
Check you media and any icons that are grey with an ! in there. Easy fix for that is to go into DCIM/ Thunbnails and delete the top two items that aren't actaully thumbnails. Then go to settings and unmount->remount sdcard to initiate the media scanner. This way you don't have to delete the grey! picture to bring it back into good standing and the picture won't be lost.
Chances are that it happened b/c something interupted whatever you were doing and fritzed out the SD card. Maybe run a sd card and sd-ext check in AOR or MZor too.
I'm trying to install "The Room" on our unrooted (still under warranty) Asus Transformer TF300T but I keep getting the above error message. I've done a search on the XDA site and found some threads relating to the same problem but the solutions seem to refer to rooted devices. I've also done a search on the Asus for smdl2tmp1.asec and drawn a blank (even with hidden files unhidden).
The tablet is running Android 4.2.1.
Is anyone able to help, please?
Many thanks
It installed fine for me on android 4.2.1

There's no SD card but internal storage shows 26.51GB space available.
ahh ok if you have a spare sd card try putting that in to see if it installs

I had no SD Card when I first got the tablet 2 weeks ago, and a whole lot of apps were giving me the same error - which I thought was silly since there was ridiculous amounts of free space.
Chucked in an SD card and voila everything worked, but it wasn't installing to the SD card. Asus be trolling.
Thanks, robgee and batwingnz, installing an SD card has done the trick even though the app has installed on internal storage rather than the SD card. Hey ho, at least it's on there and working.
Thanks for your help - much appreciated.

glad you got it working mate
Tried *everything* but no luck
I am still on stock ROM (latest ASUS ROM update version), but now rooted the TF300T.
I have been getting the same error for many months
I have tried *everything* I could think off except complete reset of the device.
Problem is ... sometimes it does work for a while ?!
I have rooted the TF300T.
I ran all imaginable optimization (Root cleaner, clean App and Dalvik caches, greenified everything (but also same error in Safe mode!), ran LagFix etc).
I unmounted, mounted sd card etc.
I fear some the eMMC flash memory is somehow failing !
I bought Titanium backup so I can reset the TF300T.
Does anyone know of a solution ? If I reset the tablet, will the errors be gone ? Did anyone try that ?

You tried plugging in an SD card and installing to the internal memory?
How do you control installation of an App in internal memory ?

Hi cmendonc2, thx for your assistance.
I did plug in an SD card, but also tried without an external one.
Installing to the internal memory, what exacly do you mean ... how can you opt for that ?
I have root apps that let me transfer Apps around memory types, but installing an App is AFAIK determined by Android and/or the Dev and not up to me. Or what am I missing here ?
Thx in advance.
Many of my apps are missing after restarting.. i have checked for errors in my sd card, got errors and corrected but still apps were missing.. also my music app cannot find any music in my storage.. i noticed that apps that were missing are those on the sd card. Someone experienced this? I want to know a fix for this without restoring. Please help. Thanks
For got to say, sd card is running fine after the checkdisk.

check the sd card if the data is there and accessible .
if yes
1) try powering off n on instead of rebooting.
2) try unmount and remount.
3) try reinserting the sd card..
My step me that to install a cooked rom, my only solution was to return to the basic rom and install a more recent version
Hi.
Today when I rebooted my OPO, my phone seems to be partially unable to read my internal storage or something. Swiftkey notifies me the error of unable to store language pack, EverNote prompts me that SD card has been changed/removed. Worst of all, I am unable to take pictures with my Camera or even screenshots. When I try to take a picture, it says "Please insert an SD card before using the camera."
As we all know, the OPO does not come with an external SD card slot, so what is the issue with my internal memory/internal SD? I am still able to access my songs and e-books which are stored in my 'internal SD' though.
Would appreciate if anyone knows how to overcome this issue.. I've tried to recover data a week back using TWRP and re-booted the phone countless times to no avail.

Update: When I attempted to download an app from the Google Playstore or through an APK file, it says "Storage is full." even though I have 32GB of space left.
Helpp! This is getting aggravating and is leading to more problems.
Same problem happened to me; did a factory reset now phone stuck on cyanogen logo screen and phone will not boot to anything. Next phone will have to have an SD card. I have backups but some recent information was not backed up.

Holy shizz... I thought of trying to factory reset to see if it solves the problem. So basically your phone is sorta bricked? Are you gonna send it back for warranty/check the problem at a local hardware shop?

The same is happening to me.
Any solution?
I've had my Idol 3 for a couple of weeks now and I just love it . . . so do my 'green' friends! However . . .
My Idol 3 got a major upgrade today, and now the phone won't permit mounting of the SD card . . . home of many apps!
The option under Settings/Storage is not greyed out, it's just that when I tap 'Mount SD card' nothing happens. I'm also getting a continuous notice, i.e. "SD card safe to remove".
The card was not removed either before or after the upgrade, but since I have had the above problem I have done reboots, restarts and hard reboots, and and have removed and replaced the card a couple of times . . . . I'm at a loss on this one!
Does anyone have any suggestions that will help me get the SD card mounted please?
Many thanks!
Just maybe a very strange coincidence here. I have been using the same 32gb sd card since I bought this phone and never had a single issue with the card or the phone (related to the sd card). This morning I checked to see if there was an update, I did not download or install it (since I'm rooted) but man ever since that moment I have been having f-ed up sd card issues. The same types of problems with it randomly unmounting the card and telling me the card is safe to remove, finding the card unmounted and touching the Mount button does nothing and just now I removed the card and my Chromebook is asking if I want to format it... WTF?
All this makes me wonder if Alcatel secretly installed some updates in the background today even though I did not intend for a system update. Hmmm.
I had similar issues with a sandisk microsd.....with it randomly losing everything on the sd....I switched to a samsung microsd and the issue went away so I think it's just very picky with the cards and you should try different manufacturers...also fat32 seemed more reliable than exfat. Samsung and Adata are two I had good results with outside sandisk which I previously considered the gold standard.
Thanks folks.
At this time I don't think it's an SD card issue unless the update corrupted it.
I mean, it was fine before the upgrade guvnor!

Backup the data to pc...format the card in the phone...copy the data back.
Same happened to me on the first OTA update and on this OTA update. I took my SD card out, put in a computer, copied all my files to a desktop folder, re-formatted the SD card, moved all my files from the desktop back on to the SD card once the format was complete and the phone mounted the card no problem. Total PITA and will consume about an hour and a half of your time to do all this. Not sure why this keeps happening on OTA updates, but next time, if Alcatel releases another OTA update, move all your apps back to the phone and remove your SD card prior to initiating an update. Only think I can think of?
Thanks both. Formatting is apparently the only way to go except that my computer wouldn't read the card via the phone.
Soooooo, I have mounted the micro SD in an adapter, and the card is currently being copied to my computer.
I'll let you know how that goes after I've done the format and copied things back.
Maybe just removing the SD card prior to an upgrade will prevent corruptions, or do you think that the upgrade 'needs' the SD card in place?

As the external sd is considered "optional" there is no reason you can't pull it prior to doing an upgrade to eliminate the chance of it getting corrupted.
If you have TWRP flashed and your situation is like mine was you'd find IT could read the card just fine and adb access while in TWRP copied off the data for me so seems related to the actual rom.
The solution
As some of you may have expected, and suggested, I was able to resolve my issue by . . .
1 Backing up the data on the SD card
2 Formatting the SD card
3 Copying my data back to the SD card
However, the .android_secure folder on the SD card was 'locked' by the phone, so I removed it and using Windows Explorer I copied the contents - all my apps that had been moved to the SD card - manually.
If you go this route yourself, your 'favorites' that you dragged to the home screen will be missing, so you'll have to re-do that process. It only takes a matter of minutes.
I want to thank those of you who responded with suggestions that pushed me all the way to the top of my 'success' mountain. The view is great!
Now if only the upgrade hadn't corrupted my SD card in the first place. Grrrrrr!
However, for those that don't realize it, the Idol 3 is a terrific phone that is soon to increase in popularity and recognition.

You might consider installing syncthing and running it on the pc and phone...it uses p2p technology to sync folders between devices....open source version of bittorrent sync. Glad you are back up and running.
