Hi!
Just recently I decided to take a photo, but in the camera app, it said, "Please insert an SDcard before using the camera."
It got me a little worried, so I checked the gallery, sure enough, "SDcard unmounted or not present"
Astro can also see all my files, but I can't move, or paste files because it gives me an error.
So I check my music, for some reason, all of it's there, and all of it plays normally.
I can't download things directly to the phone either because it gives me the error "Not enough space" but I can mount it to my PC and add files to it.
Can anyone help? I don't know what the problem is!
I am running Cyanogenmod 5.0.6, and tried going back to a nandroid restore I made before flashing the OC/UV kernel, but that still didn't work.
did you try removing sd and then putting back what steps have you tried already?
Yes I have tried removing and reinserting the sdcard, I'm going to try flashing a new ROM, or at least reflash CM5.0.6
I think it might also be the phone, as the sdcard will pop out if I pull out the battery, because it won't click anymore like it used to, but if this was really the problem, wouldn't the music not play?
hey there, did you ever find a solution to your problem. I get extremely frustrated when my SD card is not recognized. I have flashed and reflashed and re-reflashed, with two different roms, fresh and DC, it has done it with both, it HAS to be a hardware issue.
tried formatting the SD? Or deleting the folders android creates?
I had the same problem on my Evo a couple of times. I had connected it to my Mac and basically the Mac doesn't recognize it if you turn off USB storage from the phone - you have to eject the phone from the Mac or it gives an error, and apparently corrupts the sd card.
The fix is to connect your phone to a Windows computer, open Explorer, right click on the phone drive, click Properties, go to the Tools tab, run Check Now (make sure that Automatically fix file system errors is selected). This takes a few minutes, but it works - at least it has worked both times I had this problem.
Whenever trying to run gingerbreak api from file explorer....
Keep getting error "there is a problem parsing the package"

Okay so here's the run down:
I've been having this problem with my G1 for awhile now, I've been connecting it to my computer, selecting Mount and it all works like normal. I go to my computer -> "Andrizzle" and then I can see all the folders. It's only when I attempt to modify anything in the SD Card that it will then disconnect and my phone acts like I chose to disconnect, allowing me to select mount again.
It's really annoying because now I have to take the SD card out, put it in a SD reader and then do it from there. Although it's not a HUGE hassle, it's still an unnecessary step that I'd like to solve. I've been trying to find a problem similar to this and couldn't find the right way to word it, nor could I find anyone with this issue in a thread. If someone has already solved this problem please direct me to it, otherwise I'm here anxiously awaiting some divine intervention!
instead of divine intervention, you get me, sorry life's a *****
This kept happening to me also, but my problem was on ubuntu, It was kicking me off because it was mistaken my phone for my ipod, I flashed a different rom and rebooted my computer and that did the trick for me, but you have prob already tried this......right?
i was going thru this ealier today. jus to to recovery and fix the file systems option will fix it believe it or not
So wait how exactly do I do that?
I know how to get to the recovery mode but there's a setting I need to change?
Nevermind.
That didn't solve it either
Bump?
Any help from anyone? This is a seriously annoying issue to have
What ROM are you using? What OS?
Give a little more details on your setup
I had the same problem today
I just powered down, then removed the sdcard and put it back in then rebooted. Then it was just fine. My guess is the contacts were just miss aligned.
I was on the Cyanogen STABLE 4.0.4 but am now currently on the Experimental version.
I have USB Debugging on and i've tried other SD cards. I don't know what the problem is. Any other information you need? I really want this to be fixed it's very annoying when I'm trying to do anything
i actually cannot remember the last time i tried to mount my sdcard while my phone was up and running (i.e. not in recovery), i always use adb bc it makes life better.
try to mount it in recovery with ums_enable and ums_disable to mount and unmount the sdcard respectively. if those work then it may be something that will not allow the phone to mount the sdcard when it is fully powered up (i.e. not in recovery).
i use to get a problem where it would mount then quickly unmount the sdcard. i usually just had to either try it a lot, or use my card reader.
I tried going into recovery and doing so,
it still didn't transfer the file.
I can see it in the Explorer, I can browse all the folders and such, look at pictures / videos / music but when I try to move anything around or transfer a file over it stops running.
Any ideas?
Im having issues with the internal SD card after the update. So is Dennishwc

Via Windows 7 64 "Error 0x80070057:The parameter is incorrect 'for file copy and 'The file is too large for the destination file system' when I try to make a folders.
When I try to format in Windows, it shows capacity only as 2.19GB rather than 13gb or whatever it should be. Same occurs on a Win XP laptop I tried, but explanation of the errors are more general but seem to be the same.
Seems it might be this issue that 2.2 caused for the SGS Vibrant ?

Could just be the SD card failing unrelated to the update, but I have no idea. Seems I can copy to an external SD, and then copy via the phone to the internal SD. Odd.
I have tried format via Windows, which resulted in 2.19gb size, but phone reboot reset it to 13gb. Format via phone did not resolve either.
Any fix that will work? or is it borked.
I'll repost my question here.
Did you try the "format internal-sd" from CWM recovery ?
No, Im new-ish to Android so I dont know all the apps to use yet, but have done phone hacking for years on Palm and iOS.
Seems CWM Recovery is a desktop app? I will try when Im off work.

Download Rom Manager from the market and run it. Click on install clockworkmod recovery. Then you can reboot into recovery. Please see the clockworkmod thread for more info

Don't forget to root first. I had a pain rooting this JL1. I spent 20 minutes playing with JL1 and I couldn't stand the lagginess. I'm sure lagfix would've helped, but I just went to a custom ROM instead.
Tried superoneclick only once and I'm rooted even went as far as unlocking it. Also, my phone isn't affected by the sd card bug. I can transfer files bigger than 2.19 Gb and it's showing the full size in Windows. Froyo runs flawless so far even though it's still not clear whether it's official or not.
Hmm, that's an odd one indeed.
Curious - I took a look at the 2 threads that Rye pointed out and one seems to be about external sd issues and the other about the mounting issues with 2.2 vibrant kernels. Doesn't seem like the problem you are having is either one of those... Could be but didn't seem that way upon review.
Did you happen to try and restore any backup after upgrading to 2.2 or anything? Can't imagine what would cause it but seems like it's getting mounted strangely or something... Surprised that a format internal sd wouldn't fix it in recovery...
Second question - what Samsung drivers / driver pack are you using on your Windows 7 x64 install? Wondering if the driver is failing to recognize the file system type and is causing Windows to treat it as a file system that shouldn't accept a file larger than 2+GB...
I havent noticed any problems with the size of the file. What happened with mine is that i transfered a couple of movies (about 3 or so) and then transfered about 4 gigs of music. halfway through the music it started giving me the error. after that, even transferring individual mp3 or pictures would result in an error. The internal sd card showed up on my computer as having 8gig free. after that i ran the check disk (by right clicking, going to properties then tools). my computer found errors and corrected them. after that, the internal sd card showed up as only having like less than a hundred mb left
Riker2k, not sure if the drivers for Windows are the issue. I think I installed some drivers called SGH-i897_Captivate_USB_Drivers_5_02_0_2 that I got from the Samsung website, but I also just installed Kies to get the 2.2 update.
On the XP laptop, I was just using mass storage so it must have been generic drivers that were already on it.
To be clear, its usually shows as correct size in Windows explorer, but when I go to the format utility in Windows, it shows 2.19gb.
Im about to do the CWM recovery format and will post the results.
If you are using the Rogers 2.2 update with no kernel modifications then the CWM will not work for you.
The Froyo kernel from Samsung comes with Recovery 3e which RomManager can not replace for 2e as 3e requires digitally signed packages.
consider (i have not tried):
- root device
- adb shell
- su
- backup any files you need on /sdcard to /sdcard/external_sd
- use the format commands to re-format /sdcard
-- probably mkfs.vfat or the like.

Yea, really not sure if the drivers are a problem or not. When I checked mine, running the Rogers 2.2, it shows the same as what yours does in the format utility - 2.19GB. That is odd because it seems to set the filesystem type as FAT32 which can easily handle the 13.0GB size of the volume. The properties in Windows show 13.0GB w/ about 11.0GB on my disk that is available...
Regardless, I would be hesitant to format or repair that disk within Windows. Who knows if there is something within Android that is put there as a translation layer that maybe Windows isn't seeing / reading correctly through the driver, etc. I'm sure someone does know but I'm not that guy so if anyone call fill in the details...
And, after just testing on my own system... bang, same issue trying to copy a 900MB file to it... Hmm, this just got interesting.
Going to check a couple of other things, will post result.
I had this exact same issue. The only fix for it that I could find was to do a complete restore of the stock rom. Oh well, nice to have a fresh phone.
Hmm, this is not a fun problem.
Just tested formatting the volume - from within the running phone only, mind you - and the result is strange. After copying everything from my SD card to my computer, with no issues, I unmounted the USB, formatted the card through the settings / sd card storage menu / format internal sd card. Took about 30 seconds after which point I reconnected the device, windows picked it up and I mounted it, recopied about 2GB worth of data to the card with no issues at all. Added an additional 500MB file to it with no issues. Disconnected the device from within windows using the safe removal tray tool, turned off usb connection on the device and then unplugged it. Remount the usb device and windows sees it no issues but I can't copy a single item or create a folder on it. Exact same errors as what Rye described and I encountered the first time.
So, seems like after a fresh format the sd card can be mounted in windows, ONCE, and then all hell breaks loose.
Why??? Will keep testing but looking like I need to move back to my previous di11igaf's ROM. Can't work like this...
Interested in what you find, Rye.
Oh btw, i am able to transfer files with no problems if i connect to the pc in media player mode. I have problems when i am in mass storage and kies connect modes
Riker2k, good stuff. I have no news, Im stuck where I am unless I swap the kernel it seems as I cant use CMW Recovery to format.
This is over my head, so I will for now probably just do a format, load up the card via Windows, and then use the external card to slowly add items when I want to and transfer over to the internal through the handheld. Ghetto. Either our Sd cards will get worse and die, or more people will have issues and it will get patched I guess?
Dennishwc, I will try media player mode but I think it did nothing when I connected that way the other day. I didnt mess with it much though. I need mass storage to use iSyncr app though, but there is a wi-fi add-on that may help me avoid that.
Well I just tried the format and dump a lot of stuff via Windows idea, and it only did about 2.2gb before the error stopped the fun. It did this twice, so this is is EXACTLY at the 2.19gb capacity that Windows is seeing in the format utility. So, I do have some news.
Again, this is over my head as to what to do next.
Has anyone tried moving files over via adb and see if you hit a 2.19GB limit?
I am having the same issue when copy files while connected in USB Mass Storage Mode (consistent).
On the plus side, I also tried connecting in USB Kies Mode, and I have yet to see this error. Copying is slower; but, it seems to work.
This could be a workaround for folks getting the error in Mass Storage Mode.
I am running Rogers 2.2 (all stock) and rooted with SuperOneClick.
i'm having the exact same problem. if i pick "mass storage" i can't copy anything over hte internal sd card, but if i use "media play" option, i can do it without any problem. i guess that's a temporary solution
i'm having the same problem, though the size and free space of the internal storage shows up correctly in my system.
i can also copy files no problem to the external SD when in mass storage mode.
Hello, I hope someone can help me with this issue.
I currently have a rooted froyo running stock rogers rom. Recently, I've been trying to copy movies, mp3s, etc to my sdcard when connected to my computer and I get this error: 0x80070057. I also have RyanZA lag fix installed.
Is the internal sdcard corrupted or bad usb cable? I've already formatted it, etc.
I have also performed a fsck_msdos and it seemed to have detected some errors and fixed the partition, but I still get this error.
Any help is much appreciated, thanks.
EDIT: I also noticed that right clicking on the drive and clicking on format shows only a maximum partition size of 2.1gigs, but right clicking and going to properties shows it's a 13gig partition.
I will do the following steps:
1. try to use another computer;
2. try different usb cable;
3. reflash the rom;
Hi Folks,
I've been searching all over the internet for 2 days and trying many ways to fix my european Galaxy S i9000 but i havent find any information that could help me on this task.
The device is unrooted, is running Eclair 2.1update1, firmware XJWMJ8, the final part on the firmware update I could not make it because every time I tranfer the "update.zip" file (139mb), I shut down the device and go to recovery mode... try to execute the file and it dont go trough the end, it means does not work properly.
When the device restarts I can see on the root of the Internal SD are the old "update.zip" file (only 1.5mb).
I even tried format the internal SD card trough the PC running windows xp, it took long time to do it, after all I transfered again the 139mb update.zip file and tried again the flash trough recovery mode, what I surprise I had because I could not make it again... but when I got back to the internal SD card there was everything as before I formatted.
I also tried format inside the android, there shows 13.43GB total space and 9.86 available space, after I unmount the SD card and format, it gets back just like before (13.43GB/9.86GB) just like I ever did format.
The i9000 after boot comes up tons of messages about apps which needs force close, they come many times and is about all app on the device, they keep coming until I can not get to see the LCD screen anymore. I tried erase all information many times, I tried to delete older accounts and nothing works, I can't access the market. It seens to not be bricked but also can not be fixed...
My only help now is there somebody had something like it could explain here how to fix.
I am still thinking that is something about the internal SD card and I can not wipe the information on it, since the information keeps getting back to it, like an automatic backup pulled by a trigger everytime I tried to wipe the info.
Is there any way to acess the Device's RAM to check the content or search over the device about the location where these files might be saved?
I cannot install ClockWorkMod recovery because the issue with the update.zip file, I havent tried the CF-Root because I am not sure which one I need, so as you can see: I am almost tied to this situation.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thank you very much.

Flash a new firmware using Odin and all your problems will go away.
Thanks.
I already made it several times with many different firmwares, all had the same results and so I stopped to do it and leave the device with this last one, at least until I know other options.
Wipe the lot.

Hello.
This is my first post.
I have seen the noob video, I know I am not special. And still:
I have searched the forums, but my problem is different. Most of the posters don't know what caused this error. I know what caused mine. I have actually unexpectedly removed the SD Card. Kind of. Funny story: transferring data (green bar on windows not loaded at all, window stuck on calculating time/finding files etc -technically no data has been transferred), windows explorer decides to go all "Not responding" on me (thank you microsoft). The genius in me tells me to unplug the phone, so I do. Yay! explorer.exe is ok now. Too bad my SD card isn't.
There are some files on it... but none of the folders that I created, so I lost everything except photos and stuff. I have backed them up on my PC. When I connect my phone (which I have to do manually by going into USB settings so that my PC recognizes anything -auto play doesn't appear anymore-), instead of showing up as my phone, it shows up as a media device with stuff on it (folders like Android, DCIM, but none of my manually created folders containing music etc.).
I repeat, I have actually unexpectedly removed my SD card.
I right clicked on the drive in the PC and clicked Format. It warned me. I didn't care, I was desperate. In just one second, it said formatting complete. No files missing, however (still those Android, DCIM etc. folders).
I have a Samsung Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070 (this forum section, I think). I have flashed the I9070XXLQ4 (android 4.1.2) from Russia on it (a few weeks ago). Not root, or any custom ROM's.
Recap. I have unexpectedly removed my SD card. I want my games back. Or at least formatting it, making it usable.
Formatting the SD card from the phone settings has done it. I am a noob.
try formatting the sdcard on your phone thru the settings>storage..
re-download all your games or transfer them on the sdcard after the format.. if you have back up on your pc or other storage..
as for your pc.. try a reboot.. to correct the drivers of your phone as storage device..

Thanks, I've managed to do that before you posted (but I'm a noob and I can't edit posts so quickly). It did it. Although I was hoping not to lose everything.

Hi guys.
I hope it's not the wrong thing to revive this old thread.
I was recently installing an RUU onto my phone. After the install completed, the phone restarted and it began checking the SD card again for an RUU - and it found one, as I had not by then removed/renamed it. So, after waiting for it to verify the RUU, selecting "no" to installing it, it restarted again and again it started looking for an RUU. By this time, I was getting impatient, so I tried to remove the SD card quickly before any actual data access happened.
WRONG
My SD card became RAW, inaccessible to Android or Windows. Testdisk and various free versions of paid-for undelete tools (like EaseUS) found only files from waaaaay back, before I had ever used the card in Android. As a precaution, I took two RAW copies of the full card onto two harddisks and compared the MD5 of each (match).
A little wary of the risk of using various features of testdisk, I thought the best thing to do next was a format (not quick format) to exFAT in windows and run all the undelete tools again. No results. Then I found this thread and, as suggested, tried formatting using Android. All software returned no results again.
What else can I do? The contents of the card should still be as they were (unless the formatting twice effected that). Am I correct to assume that the card (128gb) would have been formatted exFAT by Android 5/6?
In testdisk, are "superblock" or "boot" forms of recovery any relevance to me?
Thank you!
(PS: Android is working fine, I'm only having problems with the SD card contents)
