I did a little searching but haven't seen any other issues like this so I thought I'd get some insight here.
I have a wifi model note 10.1 that has been running a 4.4.4 rom (omnirom) for awhile and haven't had any issues until just recently with no changes or upgrades to the device the SD card is no longer being recognized. No apps are able to access files on there, es file explorer doesn't last it in the drop down, and most of the time under the storage settings it will either recognize the card and show 0 files on it, or not recognize there's an SD card at all. Sometimes restating will help or unmounting and remounting the card but it never lasts. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Time to replace the card.
I thought that too but it seems to work perfectly in my phone and I can access all the files.

Can you create a folder or copying something into the microSD card?
If you can't, it's at its write limit = change card
When it happen you can still open/view file in it but not deleting/editing/creating files.
I didn't know that and that's exactly what it's doing. I can't delete or anything like that, but I was able to copy the files on it to my desktop. Thanks for that. Just picked up a new SD card yesterday anyways.

Try removing the memory card and reading it directly from a computer. If you can see the contents, copy whatever you need out of it. put it back into the phone. Format. reboot and see if the phone reads it right. If it does, drag and drop whatever you backed up

Download photorec.
You can recover your SD card as long as you don't copy anything over to it
OK thanks where do I download it. I'm searching for it in the market and it's not finding it

Google it, it's a windows/linux/mac program.
This is the second time that this has happened. I lost all my video and photo files from my xoom and SD card. Im not sure why. Does anyone know how to get these files back?
Also i noticed that in both times that this happened my SD card had begin to duplicate my files as well. Soon after every folder on my sd card was duplicated 4x all my files was deleted. Now is there anyway to re-acquire these files? PLEASE HELP.
No way that I know of to get them back on the internal, but there are a couple apps that support the external SD. There is no way to recover internal storage because it is a fuse filesystem and nothing supports recovery from it, not even PC applications because it's not mountable as UMS.

Can you recommend an app that worked for you or that you know work for sure?
Never used an android app. But I have successfully used R-Studio which is approximately $80 retail, but works wonders.

Got a new 32gb class 10 card. So I copied old sd card to comp then copied to new card. Everything went fine , but once I reboot the phone, about half of the data goes into a folder called lost.dir and several folders appear with random lettering for names. No matter what method I use to transfer my days it does this. I've formatted in the phone. I've formatted in the comp . Neither my phone or comp day card is corrupted it seems ok. Has any one seen this before?

You said you've tried formatting several times. Just to check, did you do FAT32?

Just for debugging purposes, what happens if you insert your sd into the computer after booting once on the phone?

Its almost like every folder I add below the lost directory folder goes crazy and ends up in lost.dir going too try something and see if this works
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
So this is what I've found. No matter what files I add to the card the Minn I go over 3.75 gb and restart the phone the files that are over that amount get broken up into the lost.dir and folder replaces it with a u in front of since this is a 32gb card I'm betting the card is no good

Please help me i've tried everithing...
I have a very large stash of pics that I kieep in Hide it pro app. I've set the app to unhide to a folder and them move that folder to the pc. when I tryed to open the folder on the PC I saw that there was only one photo inside (the first one) all the other 200 where lost.
I've run to the vault directory of hide it pro and there were the files, try to copy them and it was impossible, so I reboot the phone and the files were gone. GONE!
Now I've try to recover them with disk digger and other recovery software without any luck. If I could I would made a complete backup of the phone internal memory and them mount it has a drive and simply use recuva to get the files. But the process is to hard to understand and I can't see to know how to copy all content using adb not to the sd card but to the PC. My sd card is smaller than the internal memory so it'll not be able to acomodate a raw file from that size (64gb).
Any ideas? I believe that the files are simply lost on a regular hard drive or sd card it'll be easy but on the phone internal memory is a hell of a problem to get them out. Note that I must find the photos that are now archives with a changed name, hide it pro changes the file name...
please help.. thank you
You could try mounting it to your pc and running the program "recuva".. Worth a try.

You should just have to plug it into your pc with a usb cable and install the drivers.. Afterward it should show up as a drive and scan it.

The issue is that the S3 with android 4.3.1 is connect like MTP and not like a regular USB drive. So it is almost impossible to mout it. The only way I heard is with ADB.
Snag a micro SD to USB A adapter/card reader. Plug your microSD into your PC this way.

thats a great idea , the only problem is that the photos were in my internal memory...

I'm having problems trying to download files to my SD card on Lollipop. Not sure if it matters or not, but I had a SD card fix installed when I was on KitKat. I know that Lollipop is supposed to have support for SD cards but it's not working for me. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Sd micro 64gb i cant move or delete files with ez explorer not rooted.
So I did root so that can't be the issue. I can't get it to see the card at all, even in settings, under storage it doesn't show up even as mounted.
I've tried restarts, removing and inserting, etc to no avail...

I can see my card and even play my DVD's off of it via VLC (MX Player isn't 5.0 ready), but I can't change files. Does Android's "Erase SD Card" option also format? I may try that as I don't have anything else that can read/format a 64GB microSD (well, my DSLR can but I have no microSD to SD adapters)

what format is your sd card? Nvidia recommends NTFS, not exFAT, so before trashing the card try to repartition it to NTFS format through Windows system tools

It was formatted by the tablet prior to the update and had stuff on it. I'd never pulled it and put it in the computer to check it until I lost access to it after the update. Now I put it in the computer and it can't see it at all with windows tools...

I understand that since kitkat this has been the case but with EZ Explorer on the NST it worked so I expected to have the same behavour.
It's not unfortunately.
Apps accessing data on the SD card don't find the data
I did some further tests and it looks like apps, for example a navigation app where the maps are on the SD card, don't find the map data on the SD card.
I am not rooted and just did the upgrade to Android 5.0 Lollipop. Everything worked fine before the update though.

another way if already rooted, install Folder Mount (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount&hl=en) which is very useful in it's own right. When ran for the first time it'll detect that the SD Card is not writeable, it'll offer to fix it. Choose to do so, reboot, and presto!!
