Hi. I'm using my SD Card formatted as internal storage and yesterday my phone stop detect it I try to romove and put again, restart phone and it's not work. I have important data on this card, so anyone knows how can I extract them? External reader or something? Please help.
On windows, use EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard
It'll work when I formatted card as a internal storage (when you insert a SD card for the first time on a Marshmallow device, you can choose to either use the card as Portable Storage or Internal Storage)? That's main problem... And if yes, how can connect this card to PC when my phone didn't recognize the card?

As the tittle says, my external SD card will no longer mount to my computer. The internal mounts just fine. I can see the external using a file explorer when USB mass storage isn't connected. I use my external card as a "thumbdrive" constantly and it has always mounted just fine, this just cropped up today.
I am running Bionix2 if that makes a difference.
What can I try to get it mounting properly again?
UPDATE:
I have tried turning on and off USB debugging
I have tried pulling the SD card, booting, turning back off, reinserting the SD card and booting again.
I have tried uninstalling the LG driver from the computer and reinstalling it (ADB)
None of these have worked.
The empty drive shows up in "computer" as a drive, the SD card just never mounts to it. When USB mass storage is ON the SD card definitely unmounts from the phone.
This is very frustrating as I need some files off the card and I don't have access to a micro SD card reader.
UPDATE2:
Got the files I needed by copying them from the external card to the internal card, connecting, mounting and copying them from the internal card to my computer. It is still a PITA though not as urgent as it was.
So last night I pulled the SD card, copied everything off and formatted it on my computer, didn't change a thing. I was then going to reload the ROM I am using. This didn't work as I am running external CWM recovery and it wouldn't mount the SD card either.
As a last effort before trying another card, I formatted (erase=format?) the card through Android. Everything seems to work fine again. I copied everything back to the SD card without an issue. CWM sees it again as well.
What could have caused the card to spontaneously need to be reformatted through Android after working perfectly well for 2 months?

I had the same issue, I think when you install different roms some use different ext for the drives, thats why its critical that after each rom you wipe wipe wipe, and as we know now, lol format sd card
After adopting an SD card as internal storage, I ejected my SD card and formatted phone. Now I'm unable to read SD card neither in phone nor in laptop. I seek your instant assistance with proper guidance.
It told me before it do internal storage my sd card that if I reset the phone that I have to redo the sd card again.

Hi folks,
I have an SD card here that I was using for Adopted Storage but I've managed to get it stuck as an "adopted" card and can't seem to get it back functioning as a normal SD card
Long story short... I wiped the device the card was in but I didn't "unadopt" the SD card before hand - as in set it back to portable mode. While the device could recognise there was an SD card afterwards, it couldn't prepare it for use and suggested a card error or something to that effect.
I figured I'd just pop it in my laptop (Windows 10 x64) and re-format it but this didn't work. Failing this, I decided I'd "nuke" it using Minitools Partition Wizard. While this program had better luck identifying the card, could display and delete the partitions on it and could run the Wipe task - it had no effect on the card... the partitions just re-appear after any attempt to nuke them!
Has anyone any ideas about how I can restore this card back to a normal FAT formated SD card?
Just to clarify - I don't care for the data that might be on it... I just want the card back usable
Thanks
Recovering an "Adopted" SD Card?
The best solution for now would be to plug the sd card into a phone with android 6.0 so that the phone can read the card and then while setting it up,you can format the card as "normal "(the part where it asks you whether to use the card as in adaptive storage or for accessing files).

When I try this, I get "Unsupported SanDisk SD card"
I'm then asked to select either Portable or Internal and then Erase & Format but neither work. They fail at 20% and the message "Unsupported SanDisk SD card" is shown again
I'm a bit stumped. I thought surely the encryption used on adopted cards was only to stop external reads. It seems in this case it's stopping me from writing to or formating the card
Running out of options
Hi there. I'm using a Xiaomi Redmi 1S with 16GB SD card. Previously I had partitioned my SD card with 2nd partition set to FAT type, which I used to link apps to SD card using Link2SD. My SD card could be read fine by my laptop when I plugged it in to my laptop with a USB connector (i.e. I could open both my internal storage as well as external SD card storage). Recently I had to reformat the SD card due to some issues with my phone, and I hence deleted the old partition and created a new 2nd partition in EXT2 format instead. The 2nd partition is readable on my phone and works with Link2SD to link apps to SD card like before, however when I plug into my laptop, I cannot see the SD card storage. I can only see the internal memory storage. Please advise how to fix this, if possible without reformatting, as I am unable to move files to and from the SD card storage if I can't see it. Thank you!
I have a Moto G4+ and recently the Samsung 32gb EVO+ SD card in it is not always recognized. Rebooting always solves the problem, and reseating it is not a permanent cure.
The card is set for "internal storage" meaning it is encrypted and cannot be read in any other device including my Windows 10 PC.
I want to clone the card's contents onto a new SD card (which hopefully will always be recognized), but cannot find any way to do it. While I can copy the contents of the card to my PC via a USB cable connected to the phone (for file transfer), it cannot be copied back to fresh SD card in the phone if it is formatted for "internal storage."
No cloning software (like EaseUs, Acronis) can recognize the card if put in a card reader in a USB port on my PC, and therefore neither its image nor contents can be copied to a PC or to a fresh SD card in another USB slot on the PC in its encrypted format.
If I put the fresh SD card in the Moto and format it for internal storage use, I cannot any transfer files to it from the PC via wired connection.
So... is there any way to clone my original SD card set for "internal storage" to a new card?
Thanks,
Edgar
