SD Card is not recognized..!! - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,,
as you see from the title, i dunno what happened to my X1i
i was connecting it through cable and chose the option to make it as usb memory device, restarted the pc and the phone is connected and after that computer is not recognizing the phone and also the phone itself not recognizing the SD Card, also i hard-reset the phone and did not work.
i tried the card in another phone (nokia) and it works fine
is anyone knows about this issue? thanks a lot

anyone?!?

thanks for all those who tried to help me in this post, i was expecting this much of help in this huge forum .. =D

Copy all your files off the card, format it on the phone, copy them all back
If the computer is not recognising the phone itself, try a USB port that has more power or use a double plug cable (like the ones which come with USB hard drives)

Problem with USB Mass Storage

Hi,
I bought mine Galaxy yesterday, and now i found a serious problem!
I have 8gb (SanDISK) memory card and when i connect the USB cable (the original one) to the phone and give "mount" on the screen nothing appears on the PC (the PC is with WinXP)...the mass storage is missing!
On the phone itself all seems OK, i can enter in the SDCard, see and install apk., etc..
I will appreciate some help! Thanks!
Try turning on USB debugging in the applications menu and rebooting. Worked for me.

the external tf card was write-protected

after flashing JP2, the TF card is write-protected via PC, any idea??
seems so many ppl having this problem, any fix for it or do we need to wait till JP3 to 'release' our sd card?
Same with mine, waiting for a fix...
Ok.... For a moment I thought the problem was solved. Please change the title in "external card is write-protected...

Have you guys tried to format the card inside the phone? unmount it then format (don't forget to do backup!)
Seems to work fine for me

we can write stuff into the card in our phone, but not by connecting to the PC then choose Mass Storage / Kies to copy file over there
I can write things by taking the card out of my phone and put it in pc and copy things over but when i connect my phone to pc i can't transfer anything across.

There's a workaround. Not a good one, but at least it works. You can get full r/w access to the external sd card from within Kies, with the horrible Kies file-explorer.

Nope, the external card is still r/o when seen through USB storage in windows
tried changing the permissions in root explorer as well, no joy.
There is a easy way how to solve this. Plug in the cable, select Kies (on the phone), u dont have to run kies on your PC, after the Kies is running on your phone, on your pc there should be mobile phone connected, go there and there are both cards(in, ext) and u can use them.
i also have the same problem with the sd card :/

Cannot for the life of me connect to Mac or Windows

I have bought a used Bell Galaxy S Vibrant and for the life of me it will not connect to my Macbook, I tried Windows at my friends place and same thing.
I have tried turning USB Debugging on, off, set USB settings to Kies/Mass Storage etc....
Can anyone help me connect to my Mac so I can root and unlock this thing?
Model- GT-I9000M
Firmware- 2.1 -update1
Kernal- 2.6.29
Build #: ECLAIR.UGJG9
Come on,
Anyone?
I dont know if this will help ...
I was originally able to connect my phone to Kies and then something happened that stopped it connecting. When I plugged in the USB cable, Windows didnt make the sound it usually does when a USB device is found.
I finally realised that this had only started happening after I had installed an SD card in the phone. The SD card was formatted with my old Windows Mobile phone. If I unmounted the external SD card using the settings menu then reconnect phone to PC it is now recognised as a USB device and Kies connects. Something about the format of this SD card was stopping the USB connection working.
I reformatted the external SD card in the phone and now it connects ok with the SD card installed still.
Maybe your problem is similar?
For the Mac, you need usb debugging turned on. Look in settings, applications, development.
I needed that to mount the usb storage on my Mac.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
thanks for the tips gents
turns out it was a bum USB cable...yeah
So I got root now I need to unlock, I got the unlock code but it keeps coming up "unsuccessful"
Ok I got it
After I applied the 3 button combo fix, I rebooted into recovery and did a factory wipe, entered the code at the prompt and viola

Updated to 11.04.24 and the problem is the same. I think the problem is from my sd card....
Help guys
Try inserting the sdcard directly in your computer (that are usb dongles that can do it for you if your computer do not have a sd card reader) and check the sd. I would recommend you to backup your sd and format it again. This is just not normal. Have you checked if your rom was properly flashed, without errors?

I have inserted the sd directly in my computer and is just ok. Work without any problem. I have formated sd a few times till now, but the result is the same...but only with CM ROM. If i will flash any other rom, there is no problem with my sd....i really don't get it what i did wrong...:-??

Sd Card not reconised.

Hello guys!
I've got a Galaxy S i9000 and i have a 8GB microSD. I used that SD card on my Xperia Play (sold it, but without the SD) and after i got the Galaxy I put my SD in it. Everything worked well, it recognised everything... but today I wanted to put some music on my SD and i noticed that it loads very slowly, and after that i got an error which said: "the request could not be performed because of an i/o device error". And I got that error everytime i tried to copy/paste something from/to my SD.
So I said, ok, I'll just format it. I formated it in recovery, and everything wen well...it was fast again so i just tried to copy some music (2 or 3 GB)...but when it was at 80-90% i got that error again.
I searched on the Internet...and found SD Formater and I used it to format my card again. And after it finished I rebooted my phone. After it loaded a notification came up... "SD Damaged"...i tried to format it again in recovery but nothing changed.
So does anyone know how to fix it? Please help me!
Thanks in advance!
PS: Sry for my English and for the long post.
Try to format the SD card in your Computer or another Portable Device like a Camera, External card Reader etc.,
Always safely remove USB & try to enable USB debug mode.
