A few weeks ago I integrated my SD card to use as phone memory. Everything was fine until a couple of days ago.
All of a sudden I saw the "insert SD card" notice appear on the notification bar. I open the back cover but the SD card looked like it was in place. I remove it and insert it back and the notice disappears. But then I notice that when I go to file explorer (FX) to access my files, it says "Access was denied". I can't access anything that is on my phone memory, although the apps are working. I guess system files are OK, but everything else is not.
My phone is rooted so I tried to access the files through TWRP but I can only see system folders.
Phone is a Moto C plus. Nougat.
Can someone please help?
Anyone?

I am rooting my daughters Droid Eris. I used the app from the market and flashed Cyanogen 7. Everything went well until I tried to start restoring her apps and found that the phone is saying there is no sd card. When I go into setting to mount it it is greyed out and wont do anything. the gallery and rom manager also say there is no sd card. the card I am using is not partitioned. I tried taking a partitioned sd out of my old Cliq and putting it in and then it says it has a unsupported system or something like that but I did notice that the mount sd in settings was no longer greyed out. If I reboot into recovery it will recognize the card because it lists what is on it. I have searched everything I can find and cant find any answers. Oh, also, when I plug in the usb to the computer it does nothing then either. Any Ideas??
When I put the partitioned card in from the cliq it says blank card or unsupported file system. I tried to hit mount card in setting but it just says blank card and It is not a blank card.
I can,t receive calls but my phone is ringing and I have lost the scroll bar on top with the time, when ever I install something my phone restarts it self and nothing gets installed,
I can not access my SD card even with "My files" I get an error saying no SD card inserted but when I go to recovery mode I can see everything in my SD card,
I have flashed it rooted and used some different firmwares, still the same thing I get.
I was downloading allot from utorrent when I woke up my phone was off is there anyway I can access my internal SD card and delete few stuff, I have used all data wipe but it don't wipe nothing on my internal SD
I went to Wal-Mart and picked up a 64GB SD card. I just purchased the tablet yesterday and rooted it using towelroot but that's all I've done. I put the SD card in and it's recognized and showing the correct available space. I'm able to create a file using ESFile explorer but I can't do anything with it. I tried a couple torrent clients to download files to the SD card and it keeps saying unable to write to folder or that it's write protected. When in file explorer I can create a file and under properties it does show it's able to be written to. I also have downloaded and tried the kitkat SD card fix app. I've gotten pretty frustrated with it so just did a complete factory reset and going to start from scratch. I was able to move apps to SD card using an app but that's all I could do. I'd really like to put any/all downloaded apps and files on the SD card since I only have a 16GB version.
Any ideas what I can do?

Well just an update after doing a factory reset everything seems to work now, of course i get to download everything again. I think it might have had something to do with the OTA update. After doing the factory reset it kept the update. Now I can freely move to and from the SD card so all is good.
FYI, since you are rooted I would suggest installing the Xposed Framework and then install the "HandleExternalStorage" module, the KitKat update cripples external SD card access so file managers, emulators, and the like can no longer write to the SD card. Installing this module re-enables external SD card read/write access for all applications, it is not the device. There is also an app on the Play Store call 'SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD' which accomplishes the same thing, however the Xposed module is much safer as it can be enabled and disabled at will. Simply install the module, enable it, and that's it.
Hi all,
On my 4.4.2 Samsung SM-G355h, and since few monthes, i could no more move any of my apps to the external SD card.
These are symptoms:
One folder on the SD card, called Android, can not be deleted, no matter what's the way i try to do it (directrly from the phone, from computer through USB, putting the SD card on other phone ... )
Some time, I could not delete nor move any file on the SD card. I have to restart the phone, and to do it on the first few seconds of the system start up.
On the apps list, and when i look into the apps proprieties, the system could not get the size of the apps. It remains "loading"
When i try to move an application to SD card, the system remains hours with the indication: "moving to SD Card" and nothing happens.
I have tried to reset my phone and then download and reinstall all apps. Same problem.
So, can any one tell me how to fix this problem ?
Thanks

First it could be update related/flash related.
Some versions of stock firmwares contains weird "bootloader" stuffs that prevents rw access to sdcard even if u install the sdCardFix for KK. Sometime it works sometimes not.
And the second is you have to have SdCard KitKatWorkground enabled.
Check : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core/help/copy-to-ssd-samsung-galaxy-core-2-sm-t3033178.
The /Android folder on extSdCard contains /data and /obb files that have been moves/installed to sdCard, if u delete the folder, U won't be able to run the app from your phone !
Hi fellows, sorry to bother you i always try to manage to solve all problems on my own (researching) but there no info on the subject.
A bit of history: im the happy owner of an MT7-L09 since last month. I bought it with a Sandisk Ultra 32gb micro sd class10. I've been using the phone without any problems. Didnt even tried to root it.
What i actually did was to set up the SD card as a the default memory location. I dont actually really know what this does apart from saving all media in the SD (mainly google play music, photos and videos i shoot with the camera, some big obb files, etc).
Last week i downloaded oficial Lollipop 5.1.1 release and did a manual update. All good, i kept on using it without any problems (aside from considerably lower battery life) for a couple of days.
Then i decided to gain root access. I followed this steps after googling for help.
I gained root access but after this, it keeps looping between "sd card safe to remove" and "preparing sd card" as long as my sd card is in its slot.
After that i:
Got SD card out, used a PC to backup contents (no damages), gave it a quick format in windows fat32, then format in android. PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE
Then i went back to the pc and gave the card a slow full fat32 format, then format again in andoird. PROBLEM STILL HERE
I also recently bought an action cam with the same SD model. Got that one out and placed it straight into the phone replacing the other. SAME TYPE of SD HERE, SAME MODEL. PROBLEM PERSISTS.
I think it might be related to flashing a recovery or something like that while i had my sd card as default memory location. I really dont know what to do to ger it read any of my SD cards again.
Shall i flash original kit kat firmware again? maybe 5.1.1 again and loose root access? I couldnt find any information regarding this issue rather than try another SD card which i already did (the problem surfaced after the process of gaining root access).
Any clues?
Thaks

I just started having this problem today. I have been on the official 5.1.1 since it launched and never came across any issue until this morning. I never ever rooted or flashed anything custom and the boot loader is still locked.
As of today I started having this issue, looping between "SD card safe to remove" and "Preparing SD card" however I am able to access the SD Card and intervals. The SD Card works perfectly fine on any other device.
One thing I changed recently (2 days ago) is the default memory location, I set it to SD Card, so I am going to revert that setting back to Internal Memory and see if it fixes the issue. Thanks for the tip
If anyone else has come across this issue and/or knows how to fix it please help
UPDATE: I tried reverting the default location setting back to "Internal storage" and found that the setting had already reverted back automatically, presumably because the SD Card is not always available So no luck with that. I am starting to suspect it's a hardware issue!
UPDATE 2: I left the SD Card in the device and connected it to the PC in order to take a backup using HiSuite. As soon as I plugged it in the error stopped cropping up. I finished the backup, unplugged the USB and so far the "SD card safe to remove" and "Preparing SD card" did not show up again. It's been over an hour now. Yesterday I plugged in the device to my PC in order to copy some pictures so something may have happened at that point I'm suspecting.

It's been over 12 hours now so I'm guessing all it needed was to connect it to the pc again [emoji2]

Now that you mention Hi Suite, i played arround a bit with it before the error appeared. im gonna give it a shot
I've done that the root and installed the recovery and microSD goes into loop does not know what to do help ..
Mine is still steady after a few days, hope you fix yours too [emoji6]

Solved. It must be some issue caused by HiSuite. I connected, made full backup, safely extracted SD from computer and problem seems to have ceased.
Thanks

I got this problem today after reflashing stock recovery.
It disappears after remove and reinsert sd card, but after a reboot problem was still there.
Now I solved checking debug usb setting, because after recovery flash it has been disabled itself.
I have this problem but with the USB storage device, I bought a new one which has two plugs, one is usb the other is micro, to transfer from laptop to phone without cables. It works on PC, it works on my husband's Huawei Mate 7, but just loops on mine. Other USB storage work fine on my phone with cable, but this new one just loops "preparing to connect" and " USB removed", even when trying to connect with cable.
All software is up to date, no modifications have been made.
Any simple ideas would be appreciated (I'm not into flashing/rooting etc!)
