I flashed to the newest build and now nothing shows up in my storage card....on the phone and through device center. I tried reverting back to the previous build, but still nothing is there. When I plug it in to device center, the storage card is recognized and it says that it does have memory used on it, but there are no files to be seen in the explorer on the phone and on the device center. Any help please?

anytime you flash, you are suppose to remove the sd card cause it wipes out everything on the phone and card, sorry to say but your stuff you had on your sd card is gone.
Out of everytime I have flashed roms on a phone, this has never happened. The thing is that the sd card still says it's half full which shows me there is still data, but I just can't see it.

Ive never seen that flashing deletes files on sd, too and i flashed a lot of times, always with sd- and sim card in the TP.... Try to rescue data on the card with Norton Utilities ... i ve had good experiece with sd cards from a camera that i could save the data on it. Did you try progs like pocket mechanic?
Greetz &good luck

I tried some of those tools and other recovery tools as well and nothing. Anyone else have anymore information on this?
I think you get the disappearing card when you have mis-matching FAT tables (it's happened to me before). I suspect that you had a growing problem and that the flash was just a coincidence and not the cause. You should try the demo version of Wizcode Scandisk and see if it can fix the issue. The also have a data recovery app, but that could be more trouble than it's worth (I think it recovers files but not file names-sounds like hell to me, lol).
Thanks, I'll give it a shot and if that doesn't work then I guess I will just format it
I have a problem with a goophone i5. First I had problems with it not having a signal but that got solved. Now a second problem came up. I plugged the phone in the laptop, clicked on 'turn on usb', after a while I clicked the 'turn off usb' on the phone. It was off, I unplugged and then it gave a warning "not safely removed, sd damaged", while it was safely removed! Now I can't do anything with it like download apps to it etc. It keeps giving that memory is full. So I assume the 8GB is damaged. I have no idea how to fix it, since I searched already, but it's not like I can take the 8GB out, since it's not removable. Do you know a solution or can you help me? Thank you in advance. When I plug the phone the card is just unrecognisable, therefore I can't format it in anyway :crying:

Hi mate!
You have there a problem! First of all goophone do not come with 8GB sd card storage. There are 2 different options: the 16GB and 32 GB so, first of all, try to see if you have a real goophone i5.
Then, there is a way to format the SD card. For that you must buy a Screw Driver to open it. After that take out the screws, pull up the display and you will see the sd card inside. Just unplug it, put it on a SD card Adapter and format it on your desktop.
It can give you SD card Damage for a few times, but ignore it and keep formating it until the warning disapears.
For the screw driver you just need to search on ebay. They are very cheap. So all you have to do is to buy one.
Hope this information helped you out.
Regards
Loren can I ask how you got a signal? I just have no service at top of screen. Driving me nuts,

Is there a trick to getting the glass to pull up? I've taken out the screws, and put the suction cup down near the home button, but when I pull the glass wants to separate from the bracket that holds it to the phone. There is a tearing sound, like adhesive giving away, and it's fighting me. I don't want to pull any harder for fear that I'm going to damage it.
The reason I'm doing this, is that my SD card has also died, and is no longer recognized by the phone, and I'm wanting to replace it.

Can't this help? :got this from android website: ((((( I have been fighting this issue for 6 months, off and on. Used to think it was the SD Cards, but have concluded its got to be software. I used different methods to fix it, but over trial and error I think I found the easiest way.
Reboot into Recovery, go to advanced options. Select to mount via USB, then connect to a pc. May take a few times plugging in and out, till you get the sd card drive to appear on your pc. Once you get it, back out of usb mount. Disconnect the cord, and verify your sd card is mounted. I just go into the install a zip from sd card option, if I see files/folders I know its mounted. back up and select the restart device.
This method I stumbled on, in my efforts to just try and get my phone back. After I made the mistake of formating everything includeing the boot, and other internal components. Was pure luck, but it works. I know now it wasn't the format of the SD Card nor the sd card itself, cause I have tried several. Also used to think it was the file system, cause I used to get the cards working again by formating and then pasteing saved files/folders from an earlier back up. Also have factoy reset many times, that doesn't fix it, and reflashing a ROM sometimes does appear to work, but I think its because of restucture of the file system during that process. Anyway let me know if this helped you.))))
I have same problem with SD card, but I think it is not really broke but rather software problem.
I want to fix problem without removing screen or anything, can anyone help?
I have the Chinese recovery installed.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it didn't help.
Got exactly the same problem.. and this is what I have found out so far
If you go to mnt folder using programs like root explorer or rom tool box you will notice 2 folder.. 1st called sdcard which is your internal card and sdcard2 which is the external card
under scard card there are some letters which indicate the permission level it has but under sdcard2 it only shows -----, I manually changed the permission for sdcard 2 (normally long click on the folder name and select permission from the menu) once I done that the external sdcard started to work fine, however when I reboot the phone the sdcard2 lose the permission again
Also, I contacted the guy who I bought the phone from (efit) who told me to open the phone and take the sdcard out and then put it in again and that should make it work, I managed to remove the screen off (not really sure but I think the 2 screws beside the lightning connector is for decoration only).. as you can see from the phone there is no way to access the sd card (unless I did something wrong here)
I contacted efit asking him for some instructions on how to open the phone but I couldn't find the sd card and now he is telling because I opened the phone myself I lost the warranty... what a scum bag !!!
tried the mount to usb thing but that didn't work..
hopefully will find a solution soon
Thanks for this, I almost opened my phone for nothing.
I went to a store to get it open but one of the screws would not come lose, so they didn't try further.
Stupid problem with SD, hope someone will find solution soon.
But you managed to get it working until reboot?
With my phone in mnt folder: sdcard has no permissions and sdcard2 has ---rwxr-x as permission.
What should I change there?
Thanks
ciao

Do you have manuxo rom or pure ICS installed on the phone because I've noticed that with manuxo rom sdcard2 have no permission but with pure ICS sdcard is the one with no permission.. which I thought it's a bit strange
I have asked before in this forum if anyone with working sdcard to share what permission they have but no one answered !

I Installed the Manuxo rom v1.28, sd card problem happened week later.
I installed like viber, skype, whatsapp, facebook, soundcloud, simpsons tapped out, angry birds and all that stuff on phone, transferred to sd.
And just all of a sudden, when phone was lying there, it gave error, I rebooted and I lost everything..
But I can still see the fotos on sd card2 through file explorer. Weird stuff.
OK, let's wait for answers of other users I guess.
I also mailed to androidsale what to do, he said try to pull it out and try it a few times, maybe not good connected with sd slot pin, but I can't believe that because phone still finds SD in ROM TOOL lite.
Thanks for your time and effort in this problem!!

Hello, I have the same problem with my goophone i5 v88 I can't mount the sd card (16GB)
I have try to remove my screen but I have the same problem I can't found the sd card (just my sim card...)
Adb shell
you can connect the phone to pc and use adb available with mtk droid tools to force format the sdcard.
Adb shell
Fdisk (search google for how to use fdisk)
If the phone is rooted and has cwm you can format sdcard via cwm.

Thank you very much for the response!!
But I am a noob and don''t know how to do it all, first adb is installed and made available.
Then I installed mtk droid tools. It gives this in info :Free space: system- 251M; data- 153M; sdcard2- 1G; C:\ 75544M
But I don't know how to format now.
Do I have to enter a command in the adb terminal?
Do I have to combine Fdisk and adb shell?
I's not rooted cwm with me, its the chinese recovery from Mayiaandjay from youtube.
Many thanx for the help, almost was going to use it as a picture frame
I do not have access to my PC right now but...
On the right of MTK Droid Tools there are 3 buttons "Root" "ADB Terminal" "Reboot"
Root the phone by pressing "Root", and follow instructions...
Pres "ADB Terminal" to enter Windows command shell, type "adb shell" (without the quotes) to enter the phone shell. Next type fdisk then "enter" and see what comes up...
type "mount" also to find out where your sdcard mounted...
Then search with Google for how to format sdcard...

Ok, great, but I can't find the root Button on MTK :/ .
Guess it's alreay rooted..
I'm now in adb shell but where do I check mount usb.
Also my sdcard is not recognised by windows so how can I format?
Thanks and sorry for my noobness

This is where I got.:
How can I mount or unmount the SD Card using ADB?
The sdcard can be umounted by using the umount command.
unmount /mtn/sdcard/.android_secure
how can it be remounted again :
mount /mnt/sdcard/.android_secure
.
Type mount sdcard next to the "#" sign & press enter...
You will need to know the mount point also if you intend to mount the external card.
As an example:
su mount -o bind /mnt/emmc /sdcard/external_sd
.....................
Like this? And I need to write sdcard2 instead of sdcard I guess?
or this:
First, on your phone, go into Home -> Settings -> SD card & phone storage, then click on "Unmount SD card"
Then, in your shell, do the following.
Code:
adb shell
mkfs.vfat /dev/block//vold/179:1
Then go back to the phone and mount the SD card again. Of course, it would probably be easier to just click "Format SD card," rather than going through adb.
.....
Difficult, don't want to brick my phone..
Many thanks
So, here is the thing.
I was running on Hellybean-20130426-crespo. Been running for quite some time without any problem.
Phone runs out of battery, so, I plug it in and get stuck on "Google" screen.
After some tests, I find out that if I unplug it from charger, and turn it on, the phone boots, but while booting, it reboots, and enters this way into an infinite loop.
So, I think, I will do a factory reset. This worked, the phone booted normally, and I was re-installing my apps, but every now and the phone rebooted.
So, I think again, I will wipe the phone clean and re-install hellybean, see what's going on.
I enter recovery, and wipe cache, system, boot and then I go to sd card...
I can't format the SD card. When I check the logs later, I see I get an error message:
Photo: puu.sh/2Q9nW.jpg
I can mount the SD card, but I can't see the files on my PC.
But when I go to the "apply zip rom SD card", recovery can see the files:
Photo: puu.sh/2Q9of.jpg
Any ideas what to do next? I will probably get it to a Samsung service center tomorrow, because I'm out of ideas.

You don't need to format the SD Card for a "full wipe".
You just have to:
1. Factory Reset
2. Format System
3. Format cache
4. Format dalvik cache
5. Format Data
That really is it. Then re-flash helly bean.
If you're having funky sd card errors I would reformat my sdcard through your pc as that is the best most reliable way to do this. Then try installing what you need to.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Well, yes only problem is that the PC can't read the sdcard, so I can't save the "update.zip" into the sdcard.
As of today, I can't even mount the sdcard, so I guess my only option is Samsung service.
When I bought the phone, the camera wouldn't focus, got it replaced (the camera)
Then the vibration stop working, got it replaced as well
2 weeks ago the speaker started making distortions, got it replaced as well.
All in warranty. The phone doesn't have a scratch, I'm very careful with it.
This time I will ask them to replace the phone, or else I will burn down their store. I've had enough....
PS: all the sdcard problems started after I sent the phone to service for the speaker problem and they downgraded me from stock 4.1.2 back to 2.3.
Don't know if it has something to do with it...
Hi there
I have just purchased lenovo vibe z2 pro
as it is the Chinese version, so, I tried to change things and enable the google services
then I went Into recovery mode and installed the new ROM from the SD card
it seems to be not suitable for the phone, as the phone was stuck to the lenovo logo (the only change from previous Chinese logo)
then by mistake I formatted the SD, then the problem began
I can't perform factory reset (tried many times)
I can only access the phone recovery mode
I can't access or read or browse the Phone memory on my computer (only I see lenovo suite installation files
what can I do?
I want to access the SD card to put the original ROM on the SD so that I can install it back
or give me any other solution please
thank you

Sorry, but the Phone DOES NOT HAVE external memory
any way I flashed international ROW
but the SIM cards are not working as expected
as I Knew from different posts, I can change the file NON-HLOS.bin, but the solution will not be valid if I update the phone
any easy and permanent solution??

Dear Community,
The day before yesterday's evening, my Lenovo YT3-X50L Tablet suddenly shut off. When I tried to boot, It showed me the login screen, I logged in, but one second after showing the Home Screen it crashed and rebooted. I logged in again - it crashed and rebooted again. I couldn't get into my device anymore.
I tried to use the recovery and made a factory reset, after which it showed me the usual Google setup menu (language, wifi, etc.). But it always got stuck at getting a wifi connection, although status was already "connected" and the wifi was working.
I erased the system partition (I don't know if this was a good idea...) and now i cannot boot into anywhere, I only see the Lenovo logo when starting.
I installed ADB, Fastboot and Lenovo downloader on a Laptop. After some hard work, I managed to get an ADB connection and could backup my data.
So now, I just want to put my device back into the state it was when it was shipped!
What I want to mention first: It seems that my sd card was corrupted, I don't know if this was the reason or has anything to do with my sudden device failure. I noticed this because of a mount error in recovery. I formatted the sdcard to FAT with the laptop and the mount error is gone now. The sd card was set as internal storage in Android. If this is possible, I would prefer to use any tool like fastboot to de-assign the sd card as internal storage, and only use the device's own internal 16GB storage, which is more than enough for basic functioning.
I downloaded the device's stock ROM from firmwarefile (just search "Lenovo YT3-X50L stock rom" on google, it's the first result, I am not allowed to post links in this forum as i am a new user) but I don't know how to properly flash it. Flashing the system_xx.img, boot.img, userdata_xx.img and recovery.img files (fastboot flash blabla blabla.img) doesn't make the device boot.
The Lenovo downloader tool isn't working for me. I installed the Qualcomm drivers as described and when I start my device with USB cable connected it shows up in the Tool window, status "flashing", but then gets stuck and doesn't seem to do anything.
Please Help! Might the device itself be dead? I would be very glad if we could resolve the issue very soon because I am on a trip to CERN at the moment and will travel back in a week, and I don't have any other mobile devices with me I could use to show the flight ticket...
My data is already saved, as I mentioned before - I just want my working device back!
