[Q] (Help!)(Still Unsolved) SDCard Issues (i9003)

We all know the popular SDCard (MicroSD) issues regarding android...
Yes, I know, this is only my 3rd post... I'm not a noob, I've been reading a lot from XDA since its early beginning... I was a symbian developer during its glory days... I do a lot of android but I am not into developing (yet) for it...
Back to SDCards... I've read a lot of post regarding sdcard problems...
My only concern is that the SDCard automatically mounts itself to read only after some read and write operations... I thought this was normal... But after some research, I found out that it was a sign of corruption... The gradual increase of files in LOST.DIR indicates a serious problem...
To give a more concrete evidence regarding this theory, I started testing with 2 Galaxy SL devices, 2 usb cables and 3 SDCards of different class and capacity... I use 2 Galaxy SL's to identify if my unit has a bad card reader...
These are the test that I've managed to perform:
1. Copy Music Tracks to device via Mass Storage
2. Copy files from Internal SD to External SD via phone
3. Download a large file using the phone and save the file to External SD
4. Delete a large group of files in External SD using phone
The Cards that are use are:
1. SD A (class 2)(4 GB)
2. SD B (class 6)(16 GB)
3. SD C (class 10)(16 GB)
These are the Results:
1. Using Mass Storage to copy Music Tracks to SDCard prove to be successfull (All SD's)
2. Copy files from Internal SD to External... The operation finished but after the operation, the sdcard was mounted as read only (SD B and SD A)
3. Downloading a file to SDCard... There are some instances that the download will fail because the SDCard was mounted as Read Only during the progress of downloading (All SD's)
4. There are some instances that Deletion of file suddenly stops... The reason, the SDCard was mounted Read only...
5. Every Instance of an error, a file is created at LOST.DIR (After the filesystem check at boot)
I check all SDCards to look into its integrity (via CHKDSK /R)... All SDCard diagnostic tools found no problem regarding the Cards... I put the same ROM on the phones (Rooted and Deodexed Stock KPQ) and both phones share the same results above... Recently, this problems persist in all the ROM's that I have tried (CM, MIUI, Stock) And all kernels (UC, Vurrut)... I think finding for a solution for our device first would help us create a solution for others too...
Anyone of you having similar issues...? Your solution and comments is highly appreciated... Many people are having these problems... Making data reliability on the SDCards quite frustating...
Is there a way to "permanently" mount SDCard as RW to prevent it from mounting as Read Only... I really hope that there is a solution to this problem...

Hi, I know it's been a moment but I'll share what I've experienced, my sdcard was supposed to be a 32GB one but in reality it was a 4GB one, you can't see it on windows through, lot of files were appearing in that lost.folder once I exceed 4GB and all my MP3 were getting mixed up, corrupted.
The funny part of this is that all steps trying to verify that sdcard (chkdsk) were showing no problem at all, now I bought a real 32GB from Samsung and it works fine
Your sdcard should be corrupted or just a fake one.
From my side I ain't getting any problem concerning the fact that my sdcard mounts itself as R/O

i dont know i have a class6 16-gig sd card and now i have the phone for a motherboard fix. they said that my 16 gig sd card were one of the culprits of the motherboard and usb storage (internal memory) excommunication of my galaxy sl. they prefer that i should use a 4 gig or lower sd card to lessen chances of this to happen again.

that's very strange... how can a sdcard "destroy" the phones motherboard...?

How shall that work? The only thing I could think of is that a device can not handle SDHC, SDXC cards and thus throws a error like "card corrupted", "no sd card", "card not compatible" but break the motherboard?
P.S. Why don't you insert the banner as to your signature in the user cp? Would prevent others to "quote" it.
The interesting thing is that I never had any problems with my cards, neither with my old 4GB class 4-6 or the new 16GB class 10. Also with the situations you mentioned. But now I know a bit better for what this strange LOST.DIR filder is... For me it's empty all the time.

Would you suggest that the phone is the one with problems..? Or maybe the possibility that both of my cards are bad...
Btw.. Can you change the mount of your sdcard using root explorer (r/w and r/o)..?
After formatting my card, the button to mount the sd to read only is gone, but after some time it returns.. Allowing you to mount the sd to r/w or r/o... I think that contributes to my problem

Do you know a way to forcefully mount the card to r/w only..? In a way that the card cannot be mounted as r/o...

Sorry but this is a question I can't answer. I'm not a developer, but I don't think that there is some kind of "permanent" mount.

Samsung Galaxy SL SD card issues
I'm having the same problem. At first I thought it was the native music player because the problem would happen a few minutes after I'd pause music. The phone would restart on it's own, wipe the files on the SD card then restart. I downloaded another music player to try to correct the problem. It worked for a few days then it happened again. It wiped all the files on the SD card. This time it seemed to be worse. After a few minutes it restarted again, and this time wiped all the programs that were saved on the SD card, and reformatted the phone completely (including language and account settings). I have installed the latest firmware, and tried using the phone without a SIM card and it still happens. I basically have an unusable phone. Please help. I haven't tried replacing the SD card but I'm having doubts whether it's because of the SD card why the problem is happening. I used to own a Samsung Galaxy S and I used that card on that phone, and it worked fine. If I buy a new SD card, how would I know what kind to get and are there any other fixes to this issue? Please help!

[Q] 64gb wont work

Ok, i dont know if this has been posted before but this is my BIG problem. When ever I plug in a 16gb sandisk memory card to my galaxy note 10.1 n8000 it works seamlessly without any problems it shows how much space i have and other options like unmount and the like.
BUT, when I plug in my 64gb sandisk microsdXC it doesn't even mount and the only option i see is mount sd card and when i press on that it shows that sd card can be removed.
I want to know why it is like this. I want to use my 64gb on this and I have already got a replacement for the memory card and i also tried reformatting the cards with exFAT and Fat32. I am at a loss and I don't know where I can find the info to get this fixed. I am begging for anybody to help me with the steps to get this fixed
This is how it looks with the 16gb memory card

This is kinda strange, because i had the same problem with the same card, but found out of the box its exFAT, reformatted to FAT32, now works flawlessly...depending on firmware (i'm on 4.0.4 XXALI3, no exFAT support) even exFAT is said to work finally, don't remember which one actually. Thanx you SAMSUNG, finally acknowledged those cards come with exFAT out of the box...i would try to reformat and make sure it's really FAT32, as not all windows machines seem to produce FAT32 out of the box (I'm on MAC). hope this helps...

my baseband version is N8000UBLG5 4.0.4
I have tried to reformat on my windows 7 alienware laptop. It is really weird. I was worried because I thought that it might be a hardware problem but when i used the 16gb memory card it worked flawlessly. I only used the format option that comes with windows. Could this be a problem with the software? I just hope that this is not a problem with the hardware. I hope someone could shed some light on this for me.

You can't format a 64gb sd card fat32 using window natively, you need another program such as Easius partition manager to do it. This might be your problem....

where do i download this?

Still doesn't work
Ok, I tried using the formating program and still same thing. It wasn't able to fix it. The only option that shows in the storage part is "mount sd card". And still when I click on that, it shows a notification that says that sd card is safe to remove. Im really at a loss here. I guess that because I can use the 16gb memory card, its probably not a hardware problem right? I have the n8000 3g+ wifi model. I don't know what region it is but I bought it at amazon.com

Is the sd card recognised in windows? Can you open up and copy files to/from it?
If you have another phone you could try to format it in that BUT be careful as it can screw them up...

yes It is recognized in windows and yes I can copy files on it. I actually tried it on my galaxy s3 phone and it was recognized. That is why im really wondering why this won't work on the n8000...I am hoping to find someone who could fix it, I would gladly pay for the fix if it would be repaired.

you could try to format in the S3...mine isn't' available right now,so I can't try myself...not sure if S3 does exFAT though....

If you have access to a Digital Camera and a Micro SD to SD Adapter you could insert the micro sd card in the adapter and then insert both into a Digital Camera and reformat using the cameras format instructions.
Worked for me in the past.

Can't Move internal files to external sd card after s-off, root, cwm recovery, and un

Using ES Explorer (just use to this from back in the day, if someone knows a better file explorer I'm all ears) I have a file I downloaded via Chrome browser and it downloads on internal storage in download folder. I try to then Move this downloaded file to my external sd card and get the same error I would on day 1 of this device completely stock.
Am I missing something here? I have S-Off, supersu.zip flashed via cwm recovery installed so have full root, and even went a step further and flashed the unlocked stock kernal for full write access???

Anyway to get screenshots I take to save in external sd card? Basically only thing I want installed on internal storage is apps I download and obviously tweaks and what not. Don't want to waste internal space with what can be saved by default to my 64gb external sd card. Appreciate any help on any of the above, thank you.

Someone pointed out a root app free in playstore called AFFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD. I guess it overrides all the Kit Kat permission to allow ANY app to install on external sd card and I then assume move files from internal to external and vice versa? My only fear is with all I have installed already (s-off, full root, cwm, unlocked kernal) I just don't want to install tweaks that override one another and screw up my device?
Trying to be as safe as possible here with what root tweaks and exposed stuff I install. Would u then just recommend the exposed tweak?

I'm in the same boat and so far I've had no issues. You can always uninstall it if it gets wonky.

I apologize stupid me getting ahead of myself. Duh, I'm not using a root explorer. I downloaded root explorer and was able to move zip file from internal to external no problem. Just asked for SU to grant and then did it. Geez, little slow today.

Xposed works perfectly to enable write to external SD. If you've never used Xposed before here's the Tutorial Thread for the framework (modules have their own support threads and Q & A threads): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Download the XPosed framework installer, open the app.
install/update the framework, select cancel when it asks you to reboot (So you don't have to reboot twice)
navigate back then tap "Download" for modules. You should see the module "Handle External Storage or you can just search it. More info at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2693521&__utma=248941774.106963766.1378650939.1396885674.1396892710.7&__utmb=248941774.1.10.1396892710&__utmc=248941774&__utmx=-&__utmz=248941774.1396892710.7.3.utmcsr=google|utmccn=(organic)|utmcmd=organic|utmctr=(not%20provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=201568018
Download the module
Check the box for the module
Reboot now everything should work.
And the best file explorer for me is FX file explorer. Just an incredible UI in my opinion. File movement happens in the background so you can keep working. My favorite file manager hands down.

Probably cuz es file explorer doesn't use root. This is what I think but who knows. I would think will all the above installed we don't need half these exposed tweaks but guess not?

Actually it does. You need to activate root in settings.

Not sure anyone answered this but you have to move files in storage manager which is in settings. Settings >storage manager >make more space (under the internal storage section) which allows you delete files or move them to the external sd card. But I'm sure this has been answered somewhere by now in another thread.

What Do I Do If My SD Card is Corrupt?

I cant see my files on my SD card when view them on my PC. This happens even if the SD card says its got 4.3 GBs of files.
Does this mean that my SD card is corrupt? Do I need to buy another one? Would reformatting fix this SD card?

try backup the files to your computer, if it's able to transfer the files and the file can be opened normally (eg. open document or picture)
then format the card on your phone, and then transfer the files back to your sdcard

But do you think that its better to just buy a brand new sd card? Or do you think reformatting it would make it like new without any issues?

if your card is quite old, or it's a cheap brand then you should get a new one.
if you like to save some money, then try to reformatting is just cost you little time to know if it's still usable

If it isnt the sdcard problem... i doubt its the drivers fault of you're pc .. try to reinstal it
hope my suggestion can help you ! Had one situation like this but i had driver problem from my pc

Format the sdcard. Backup your files first. If not, just buy a new sd card.

if u tried formatting and its working then congrats....u saved some bucks....
otherwise i suggest buying a good brand SC card with enough memory to support your needs.

Phone Storage partitions messed up after flashing cyanogenmod. Help please.

So a while back I flashed Cyanogen on my Motorola G 2015 just to test and see what's up. Today I went back to stock rom, rooted and modified the heck out of it. I followed the popular XDA fastboot flashing method POST and got the "official" stock rom from this thread (It said modified in the bootloader after I flashed it 100% correctly, BEFORE I started to root and mod it myself, weird huh?) So back to the problem. My partitions are completely messed up now. It's not what it was before (I think). The Internal Storage is mounted on two separate points and my SD card gets mounted as something wierd. Here are all the screenshots you need. Please tell me how to make it normal again.
Somehow here it looks like everything is fine.

YET if I format it as adoptable storage, ie. as internal sd card I can't even find it, nor can any app detect it. (But I can actually use it to put apps in it via the storage options)
First lets see the vold.fstab file
I've never seen something liket this.
my /mnt/ folder
I found my SD card partition in /mnt/media_rw with a weird number FC36-1DFE.
Here is my SDCARD1
500mb, nice partition. Much wow
up until now this is all in INTERNAL STORAGE the only EXTERNAL ( MY 32gb sandisk microsd) with the weird number FC36-1DFE is the next screenshot
When I moved these screenshots to my SD card from my internal, my pc doesn't even see them. and if I try to move from internal to sd via PC, it just doesn't work (SOME TIMES).
???????????????
Finally the illusive internal storage !
but this is where the fun part actually begins
Here is the same damn internal storage in a different directory
Storage folder
I might be over exaggerating, cause I'm new at this. But I have major problems with my sd card and internal one, some things don't work right, and all this that I saw and screenshot looks dodgy as hell and not quite right. Or maybe everything is fine and I'm a retard? You guys be the judge, please help or explain what the hell is going on. :crying:

If this is normal please say so in a reply, if not, guys please help. Bump.

It sounds normal, maybe it's just how the root browser is picking it up. Back when I had formatted my SD Card as internal storage, it also had the weird name of yours, like FC36-1DFE, but only different. I'm sure it works just fine, but a way you could test is to install an app and then unmount the SD Card, and check if the app is inaccessible anymore.

Same here. But apps(even root apps like Titanium Backup) are unable to write to the SD card. When I use TB to try to back up to the SD Card, it says directory is not writable.

There is an easy fix for that, make Titanium Backup folder on your SD card, go to the app then menu, then preferences then backup folder location, select storage provider, document provider storage, now if you have the stock explorer as default select the 3 dots on the upper right and select show SD card then select the 3 lines on top left, select your SD card then press select on your bottom right side, now select the Titanium Backup folder u made and restart the app.

That's what I did. It says the directory is not writable. Backups fail.

Try to go to root explorer, find your SD card mine is storage/bunch of numbers... long press your SD card folder in /storage and press 3 dots on upper right then press permissions, press octal and then insert 771 then press OK and try again with what I wrote I last post.

My SD card is not formatted as internal and it shows with those numbers.. The problem is that when I do format it as internal storage it disappears for apps instead of being the only one showed like before, since in MM when you format your SD card as internal the internal storage disappears and not the other way around :/
