Sony Z3 - SD Card Problem
I have a Sony Z3, rooted, with dual recovery (philz/twrp).
So every time I boot up is says "Damaged SD card. SD card is damaged. try reformatting it." I could still access all of my music that was on the card so i don't think it was really broken. But I formatted it any. But It still says exactly the same message and I am unable to mount it on the options, I cannot see it on the pc either.
The sd card is a sandisk extreme, which I have taken out and put into a nokia lumia to test and it works fine so the card is ok.
I am using this rom: "[Rom][5.1.1][D6603]Pre-Rooted + XZDR 2.8.21 [23.4.A.0.546] * Nordic *" / http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/rom-pre-rooted-xzdr-2-8-21-t3162851
I can't seem to access the recovery either It may be because those files were on the sd!
Anyone know what the hell is going on?
Well, I have completely restored the phone to factory settings, and still it cannot do anything with the card. i know it works on another phone so i might have to send the phone back
Flash SuperSU again... I had the same issue with dual recovery and SD Card, flashing SuperSU again solved my problem.
I've also moved the folder XDRecovery (or something like that) to the internal memory. Everything is working fine so far.
Have you tried fixing it from the recovery menu? I had the same issue and I formated the SD in my computer then, then in my phone (none of them worked) and lastly from the recovery menu and it seemed to work for me.
had the same issue...just reformatted on PC using hp disk format utility and uncheck quick format, set the format type to exFAT. THen insert into phone and it works fine...of course evrytime u reboot phone youll get the same error...just unmount the sd card and reinsert it while the phone is ON. it will work..seems like a bug to me...but dont worry ur sd card is fine.
For me re-installing the XZDualRecovery with the Windows installer fixed the issue!

My SD was acting a fool (after deleting many ROMs, it still said I had 73MB free). Nothing I did would change it so I decided to format the card. I used Disk Utility (on Mac) and formatted for FAT32. After I did that, my phone said it was in a format it couldn't recognize, so I formatted it from the phone itself. Now, when I enter recovery and attempt to install zip from sdcard, then choose zip from sdcard, it says "E:Can't mount /sdcard". I don't really know what to do, as I formatted it from my phone. I figured that was sure fire but I guess not so much. I tried to find what format I need the SD card in to work properly but I couldn't find anything.
Can someone help me out?
Fat32 is correct for the phone. Do you have a usb reader for the sdhc microsdcard or one of those sdcards that let the microsd card fit in to read it from the pc?

Reboot in recovery, if it says it can't mount it... pop out the sd from your phone and pop it right back in and see if it works. No need to mess with mount points for it either.
Also, did you check if your lost.dir folder is taking up space? Sometimes that thing can get big.
Could have been a bad flash, try to flash it again. I know I had a problem when I bought a new sd card. You can also try to flash it from a different phone. Otherwise, if you have access to a pc, I can tell you how to format it from the command line, which is, in my opinion, better to do if you're having a problem with the quick format that the phone does.

Sounds like what i did one day when i wanted to wipe everything so i did including formatting my SD card through recovery. so it left me with nothing on my phone including a bootable rom! lol. if this is the case with you. Here is what i had to do. Download a new rom to my PC then plug my phone into my PC via USB/ Boot into recovery/ Mount storage/ Mount SD card/ Copy the Rom to SD card then Flash the Rom. Not too sure if this helps, I hope it does, again it sounds like the same problem i had.
Sometimes SD cards break...for some reason they will just stop working, probably due to manufacturing techniques. My old 256mb card went bad, I just tossed it yesterday as a matter of fact. it had no name brand. I still have a 4gb pny that works perfectly and a SanDisk 32gb which also works great. If you do have to get a new SD card, I would recommend getting the highest class you can afford highest out the right now I believe is C10. That will increase your transfer speeds....both of my current cards are class4 and it can take a little bit of time to transfer gigs of data between the phone and computer. If you have any other device that can accept the "card" put it in there and check if it can send and receive data/ format to proper disk size, if not then your card is broken.
Once you go class 10 you don't look back lol

OK, I got everything set up and it boots within 30 sec with my Gingerbread based MROM. But, I do not know why it can not show how much space my SD card (not the external one) has in the setting and it says that the SD card is unmounted. And for the camera, when I open it, it says that I have to put a SD card in order to use it (I assume that it refers to the external one), but my external SD card is already in my phone. Also, in the music app, when I open it, it says that my SD card is busy, which one it refers to? However, in the file manager, I still can able to see everything inside my external SD card while it says the SD card (not the external one) is empty. Really confusing... Can you guys explain all these?

if everything was working fine before you flashed the rom your on id start there..try restoring your backup and make sure you wipe caches and factory reset before the restore then see if everything is working..if so then reflash the rom and dont forget the caches wipe and factory before the flash.if its still not right maybe you have a bad download of the rom..try redownloading it or flash a different rom see how that works...also to be on the safe side wipe everything twice ..that way nothing gets left over that can cause glitches like that
Hello,
Its a new rooted device with android 5.1 and the SD Card slot looks good and seems intact. It realizes that i have put a SD Card into it. System Message prepare Card pops up, but nothing happens afterwards. Card is not showing up in any file explorer. I have tested the Card with a different device and it works just fine.
My guess, it is some hardware driver or software issue, since it works just fine with different device.
factory reset did not help and i can not flash any rom or firmware!
How do i fix this?
Format in your device
hi guys, i got an issue about the external sd card mounting. my m2 can't mount external sd card. here is what i tried:
- i tried 3 different sd card. NOPE
- wiped everything and tried another custom roms. NOPE
- even in TWRP recovery mode, external sd card can't be mounted.
- i've changed the sd-simcard reader of the phone, issue is the same. sim card is working perfectly but no sd card.
- now i'm downlading lastes ftf file for single sim but just im trying maybe it will work.: NOT WORKED
what may be the problem? hope you help me because i'm done with a new possible cause confused:
cmon guys i need a suggestion
---- i cant use fastboot oem rebootRUU or other codes it always say ... and wait maybe 40 min. it says nothing.
also i cannot install recovery via fastboot, it says OKAY but no recovery. with adb, everything is alright.
So, about the problem. All was fine untill a few hours ago. My note 10 notified me that my SD card is corrupted. OK, no biggie, lets just take it out and put it back in. Worked before, but not today.
Tried the same SD card in my laptop, worked without any problem. I'm feeling trolled. Next i tried with otg sd card adapter. It says "no supported partition was found".
Next, tried another SD card, still nothing. Tried that one with otg - bam, works. So, it's not card that's bad. Tried another one, was empty so i formatted it on phone. Nope - still corrupted. No matter how many times i formatted it, it's always corrupted.
But it works on laptop. All 3 of them work on laptop. Two of them i can see with otg, the one that was all the time in the phone says no supported partition.
Then i thought, maybe the sd reader in phone broke. Rebooted to recovery and guess what? First SD card that showed corrupted message works just fine in recovery. Now, one reset to factory setting would probably solve the problem but i have tons of apps that i'd need to backup and no space to do it because my sd card ain't showing in OS.
All i wanna know is am i doomed to reseting android or is there any trick i could use to avoid that?
Copy all things on your pc,format the SD Card in the Phone and copy all Things back to SD Card
nope, didn't work. had to reflash OS
