Hi
Can anyone clarify the layout of storage on the SGN?
I have a 16GB removable SD card in the Note.
In Root Explorer I can see /SDCARD, beneath which I have /SDCARD/external_sd and /SDCARD/usbStorage. This structure is visible as drive F: on my PC when storage is connected to PC.
I also see a drive G: which appears to be mapped to /mnt/sdcard/external_sd.
Can you tell me which is the removable SD card and which is internal phone memory?
Is the 'external_sd' label being used for two different places?
As you can tell, I'm not an expert in UNIX-style folder allocations!
Thanks.
SD card is internal memory
SD card/Ext SD card is your ext memory card
SD card/USB storage is device attached with OTG cable
Thanks - that helps hugely!
Disregard the rest of this I've answered my own question!
Hi guys,
I tried partitioning my external sd card to linux swap, and something must have gone wrong. Now,a notification on my Galaxy S reads "Damaged SD card - SD card damaged. You may have to reformat it." This was the first thing I tried, but the Internal SD is formatted instead when I try. (Rom bug?). When i mount my phone via USB, only the formatted (damnit) internal SD is found.
I'm currently on TiramiSlim (best rom!!) with Devil 0.94. If you have any help it would be appreciated, any further questions don't hesitate!

In first i think that partition ext sd card is useless but it's my opinion.
In fact if you want to recover your ext sd i advise you to reformat your sd card with the windows disk utility: you select all volumes, delete them and recreate a new one with ntfs format (android will do his work when you'll insert your sd in the device).
If it doesn't work try to make the same but with a Linux system (Linux is powerful ^^).
Please reply me your results.
Have you tried to format the SD card with an SD Adapter & then make sure that USB debug is enabled on the device.
I had this issue.
Sometimes it shows that the card is damaged & then it reads it later on!
I plugged the Card into my Digi-Cam Formatted it.
Changed the Rom.
Now it works.
Anyways safely remove the drive when plugged into a computer!
i don't have an sd-card adapter unfortunately, the only way i can plug it in is via my phone. I cannot seem to find a disk utility on windows that will read the external sd, i can only find the internal from my computer.
i will try and get hold of an sd-adapter and let you know if it works
fixed the problem!

how did you fix the problem?
My phone recognizes the internal storage but i keep getting "sd card is damaged, try reformatting it" in the notification bar.
when I click on format, it says "unmounting sd card" but nothing happens.
Thanks,
Luke
*edit.. nvm.
I put my SD card in my old x10 and in settings/storage I erased my SD card.
Works fine now
Hi guys,
My external sd card suddenly cant be detected by both my phone and my computer
I tried flashing to many different roms and still no hope
Any suggestion please? :crying:
Thanks!
Connect your SD card via card reader to PC and try format it. If you don't see files or PC don't see this card - it can be damaged.
Card reader u mean the card adapter? i don have 1 of those
and when i connect my phone along with the external sd in it
the phone recognizes it as removable disk H but i was not able to open it
does this mean its not damaged?

The file system (partition) on SD card is broken - you need format SD card

Any other method to actually format it without the card adapter?
The easiest way is connect card via card adapter to PC and check that card and files are visible. If card is recognized but you can't access to it you need format it.
You also can do this in your own phone: in settings - memory - try disconnect external SD card and then erase/format external SD card.

formating/erasing options depends on which rom you use.
When you connect phone with PC and tap mount SD card (or something like that) on phone screen, you should see card on PC - can you see it? You write that it has assigned drive letter H - right click on that and format it.
I tried that it says "theres no disc in drive H:" Please insert a disc and try again
try mount SD card with and without USB debuging.
try format SD card via recovery
If you have different SD card try it to eliminate ROM/settings problem.
i cant erase my external sd because its not detected
the recovery cant mount it because the external sd is not found
trying with and without debugging also didnt work oh my god
i don really understand the last option though
"If you have different SD card try it to eliminate ROM/settings problem."
In your case there are two posibilites:
1) sd card is damaged - logically (file system/partition) or physically
2) phone is damaged - logically (ROM bug/phone settings) or physically
If you put other SD card in your phone and phone will see it and you will have access to files from that SD card you can be shure that phone is ok
