[Completed] SD card not mounting in android.

I have a Blue studio 5.5s and after flashing a font it would not boot, I couldn't get a stock rom so I used a My Phone Ocean Pro custom rom that worked. However for some reason the SD CARD will not mount I see it and access it in CWM and flash the phone but android does not see it.
It seems like the whole file system is restricted I tried root explorer an tried to mount it and I receive the message "Sd card is not currently mounted" and in settings for the system the sd card area is not accessible just white. I know the card is good cause CWM sees it and I flash from it but for some reason android is not seeing it nor mounting. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your device on this issue. Just because a rom for another device flashed successfully, doesn't mean you won't face issue.... Which may be your problem. You may need a rom specifically made for your device, or the stock firmware.

Good luck!

[Q] Rooting info needed / Please help soon.

Hi
I wanted to ask something about Rooting but couldn't find specific section for it or if there is, i am sorry i couldn't locate it. I apologize for it.
I have a Huawei Ascend G610-U20 with Android 4.2.1. The internal memory is 4GB but only 1.86GB is useable (on format). I am using Stock ROM.
I have some applications which are installed in phone memory (sdcard 0, not external sdcard). For example Facebook and by default it doesn't have the option of shifting to SD card, that option is turned off. Similarly this is off for Mix Cloud app. There are so many other apps as well. I use Dodol launcher and all it's themes are on phone memory and cannot be migrated to external SD card.
I found this thread of making SD card as default location for installation. I didn't do it being afraid to make any disastrous changes to my phone.
Then i got to know about rooting and i was again afraid of bricking my phone. This is why i am asking it here. I had previously another Android phone and i rooted it and then it started some problems mainly software clashes. e.g. when viber is being used and a phone call comes, phone restarted. I thought of at least considered that time that this is due to rooting.
My sole purpose of doing any of above method is, to be able to migrate those apps to external SD card which are by default not able to be migrated in stock ROM. Else than this i am not much advanced user and nor do i want to go further deeper.
What you recommend and what is the best way to do.
Just a point to mention, in case of using that 1st method of Android ADB method, i think it would need me to format the phone and then reinstall the apps. Am i right?
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance.

[Completed] HTC M8 - SD appears to be encrypted, but never did so.

Info: Stock HTC M8 / Android 6.0 / HTC Sense 7.0
I've been running on a stock M8 for a couple of years now, never really had a reason to tamper with it until recently when my internal storage was maxing out. I boot unlocked and rooted, and now my M8 has factory reset as expected.
I moved everything I wanted to keep onto my SD card prior to the rooting process. I've never once encrypted my device as I didn't like the performance hit on my last one, and I found the pattern unlock function more than sufficient for my needs. That said it appears somehow my SD card has become encrypted anyway, and I have no answer as to how or why. I've never (to the best of my knowledge) installed a third party app that provides encryption functionality, and certainly never authorised anything to encrypt the entire card.
Is there some feature of Android that I'm missing with regards to external storage that would have caused this?

[Completed] How to remount internal sd card storage

No support from zeki. They said sorry can't help. And past any warranty to return.
Zeki tablet TBQG884B kitkat 4.4.2
I tried a swap ram thing to try increase memory size/speed.
dev_mount sd card change
I didn't quite know what I was doing. Didn't make a backup, etc.
I rooted tablet with kingoroot it's still on it. So is superuser but it asks to download binary files again, but can't because no sd card mounted. Internal or external.
It won't connect to computer usb debuging or mass storage at all.
I can no longer get into system files file explorer etc., to try to reverse/fix what I did.
It said nand flash something instead of sd in video. I now know I shouldn't of edited it.
Is there any way I fix it. Maybe put a different OS on it? If that would fix it? Maybe something from google/android and kitkat?
It works as far as going online with brower. But not much more. won't mount either sd.
I looked everywhere and trying everything. Please help. Thanks.
It said in video to go into sysytem files and change ...

[Completed] GPT on micro sd... need the files on it

Hello everyone, i'm a newbie here so, cheers to you all.
I recently had a major problem. My android phone wasn´t working too well, so i perform a factory reset trough the recovery menu (i couldn't even enter my phone), but i have removed the micro sd with some afraid that it will also be formated.
When i restarted the phone it was all ok, but when i inserted the micro sd it has said the same thing it said the first time:
if i want to use has portable storage or use has internal memory (this option i selected the first time), and if i select it again it will format all data on it, so i connected the mSD to my PC but i couldn´t read it because it is in GPT mode... PLEASE HEEEEEELP
i really need the files on the partition of the mSD, funny (or not) thing, the mSD has 2 partitions, one with 17MB and another one with the 29GB (this partition is the one that i can´t access, the smaller one is already formated).
Wich (free) tools can i use so i can recover the info? let me know please.
Thank you all.

I'm using a Oukitel K6000 (Android 6.0), and first time i have inserted the mSD card i have choose the option to consider it has internal storage, it was all good until the day i couldn´t even boot the phone. That day i removed the memory card, and started the phone in recovery mode, wiped all cache data but still would't enter the phone system, so i decided to factory reset through the same recovery menu. It has entered the system, and of course done all initial configuration of Android, but then, when i have inserted the mSD card (that i believe it's locked to him to avoid using it in another device, from what i've read) it gives me the 2 options to treat it has portable storage or to treat it has internal storage, either way, they now ask me for formating.... and thats what i don´t want to do.
