So, I have just flashed CM7, and after trying to link the external sd to sdcard both of cards just stopped working. I have tried to reformat both of them, and wipe the Data and cache
Were you using a Gingerbread bootloader? Nightly #77 and above work well with it and you should get access to your SD card again.
Hi,
the correct way to link the external-sd card in terminal
Code:
su
mount -w /mnt/emmc mnt/sdcard/external_sd
but after reboot it has no effect.

I have 3 files on my sd card that needs to be pushed to my EXT3. These files are from my old sd card.
Files are
app
app-private
dalvik-cache
They are currently on my fat32 partition of my new sd card.
What commands do I use in adb to push these files to EXT3 ?
Can you give the commands for terminal as well because with my new sdcard I can't boot into the Rom
For some reason also with my new sd card I can't boot into the rom even after a nanoid restore and reflash of the rom.
Hello,
Today I tested out the wipe feature of an anti theft app (was on JVO stock + CF Root Kernel). The external SD was not modified in any way (no speedmod, ext file system or anything).
For some reason, it failed (it did work successfully in the past). It neither wiped the internal nor the external SD card. Now the external SD card is gone (see below).
After the wipe the phone auto rebooted and recovery mode showed this:
Code:
Android system recovery <3e>
[i]standard options were listed here, the "reboot system now" option was selected and the system was waiting for input[/i]

So I clicked "reboot now"
Now the main issue: since then the SD card is no longer recognized.
The taskbar icon keeps saying "SD card is empty or" (the rest is outside the screen). Storage info says unavailable (see attached pic).
Any chance to get the card working again? I don't really care about the lost data as I backed this up prior.
Also tried to access the card with a card reader in Windows but nothing happens at all when I insert the card into the reader.
Try to make a folder called external_sd on your internal card.

Ok, did that and even created a folder inside external_sd. Now what?
It still shows "not available" on the external SD card storage space info. Formatting still does nothing and mounting card via the settings menu just hangs.
edit: copied over a few hundred MB into the external_sd folder. According to the storage space info it consumes space on the internal card so apparently that new folder is not really accessing the external card?
My external sd wasn't recognised too (but with MIUI), after I created this folder everything worked fine. So it would have been possible that it works for you too.
But don't copy anything into the folder, let it empty.
Sadly, that didn't do the trick.
Aren't there any tools or anything in recovery menu that could help me getting the ext. SD card recognized again? I can't even format it in Windows since it's not recognized.
Have you tried another sdcard in your Galaxy?
This is the only SD card of this type I have. :/
did you try flashing your phone ?
Yes, I flashed a few times (downgraded from Gingerbread JVO to Froyo JPU, then flashed to JPY and eventually via Kies to GB again, JVI), the problem remained.
I think you have problems with internal sd card ( storage ) If you have waanty you need to go to service, change phone.
Could you explain this further? What makes you think the internal SD storage is faulty? So far, only the external card no longer works.
Check first message

As you can see, phone can't format /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 and other partitions.
mmcblk0p2 mounted at /sdcard . Can't format, so can't mount unformated partitions.
External sd card mounted at /sdcard/external_sd. If sdcard not mounted - external too not mounted. Why can't format? I dont know, or memory chip bricked, or some thing with soldering.
I'm so unfamiliar with recovery mode, thanks for these explanations.
So could that mean my internal SD may fall apart at some point too?
I think phone boot in this order:
1. First Bootloader
2. Second Loader
3. Kernel
In first loader we can boot usually or in Download Mode
In Second - Recovery mode to install update.zip or wipe data, cache and sdcard
I have a similar problem. I have a 4GB external SD-card. It functioned fine until updating the MIUI-mod. After that, only the internal 16GB could be seen by the SGS. Even when I went back to Froyo, the card couldn't be read anymore. It wasn't even detected. Except when removing the SD. The system says then that the card can be removed... strange since it already is removed. Connecting it again, the message goes away. I checked the SD in my cardreader on the pc. Working fine there. I formatted it multiple times (FAT32), but no luck so far. The SD doesn't seem to be broken or should I format it with another clustersize or something?
Try this, on my phone it helped:

But do not copy any files in it. Just reboot after you have created the folder and then your external sd should be recognised.

Hey guys,
Ok so i was on CM10 old bootloader, decided to make the switch to
ICS CM10 ( Pengus77 )
Used AIO tool to install new layout then flashed a new recovery CWM
I put the new ROM on external sd card then boot into recovery
Heres the problem , when in recovery E: Cant mount /sdcard/ !
I go to advanced mount /sdcard error mounting /sd card !
How can i install new ROM if i cant see any of my cards?
or cant install any ZIP's through Recovery?
When i plug my phone in PC...i can see two removable disk labeled D: & E:
but i click them : Please insert a disk into the drive...(?)
I tried everything that i know about...wich is not a lot...kind of a noob with all of this.
Any help would be gladly appreciated...kind of lost here
Cheers,
VP
In some recoveries the internal sd is marked as external and vice versa! See as you have changed your bootloader version, internal sd has been completely wiped. But i think just mount the External sd from mounts from CWM..
If you come from gb BL,
1. Nvflash stefan ics v28 and wait to fully reboot your phone
2. Open aio tool
3. Press number 4, 1 for the new ics layout, press 3 for new cwm 6
4. Copy pengus rom on external card
5. Enter cwm first try to access internal and external if this cards can access it show a message "no files found"
6. If the e: can't mount copy the sd card fix and system format ext4 then flash it
7. If you can't access both card try to reformat your system, factory reset,cache and dalvik
8. Flash sd fix and format ext4 again
9. Try to access both cards again

I compiled ClockworkMod myself and flashed it to my P970 running CyanogenMod, but now I can't flash zips. When I try to mount the sdcard, I receive an error: "E: cannot mount /sdcard". This device's storage is of course located in /storage/sdcard0, so I suspect that might be the problem.
I don't think that this is the problem. Try to clean sdcard then reboot in recovery. If it doesn't mount, share your recovery with me, I will test if it works
I formatted the SD card from inside CyanogenMod, but now I can't mount it at all. If I choose "Mount SD card" in the settings, it briefly flashes the stuff on the card, and then says "Safe to remove SD card". I performed a factory reset, but it still doesn't work.
What version have you compiled?
//Edit
I remember that to get a fully working recovery for our device you need to edit some files in the device tree, maybe you need to edit some .fstab files or BoardConfig.mk, Evisceration has already compiled cwm for p970, you could ask him for help.
//Edit2
To edit .fstab files (maybe you should edit recovery.fstab) look at gingerbread's device tree.

6.0.3.6, but that doesn't solve the problem with the SD card, which I now can't mount at all. I tried plugging in the USB cable but my computer can't see the card. I may just have to buy an adapter from PC to SD. This thread: android.stackexchange.com/questions/55182/cannot-mount-sd-card-with-error-sd-card-safe-to-remove says to format it with a PC, but that's for a different device.

Do you mean that you can't mount it even when you're running Cyanogenmod?
Yes. After I formatted the SD card, I can't mount it even in CyanogenMod. In the settings, I select "mount SD card", but it doesn't mount, and I get a notification "Safe to remove SD card".
It could also be a hardware problem, just to be sure send me your recovery or post your sources.
//Edit
I have compiled cwm 6.0.4.6 using 4.3 device tree and everything works good.

EDIT:
So, the good news is I solved the main problem. I changed the file "recovery.fstab" to have the other possible partition for the SD card, recompiled, and flashed. Lo and behold, it worked! I can now flash zips from the SD card in ClockworkMod.
But I still can't mount the SD card within CyanogenMod. I know I can flash zips with
Code:
adb sideload
if need be, but I would still very much like to be able to store pictures, etcetera, in that 8 GB of space.
EDIT 2:
I went to the store and bought myself an SD card adapter. I used that to format the card, but now I can't even access it from ClockworkMod.
I flashed your recovery and SD card works.
Which file system is your SD card using now?
If you flash a stock based rom from sideload, can you format SD from settings?
I bought a new SD card for $28 and everything works now. Note to self: never format SD card again.
Please can someone tell me why i am nt able to mount my sd card after
Android marshmallow update..
As i used adopt sd card as internal storage..
It formatted my sd card.. Then i put my flashable files on it..(zip files)
And when i rebooted into philz.. There was no sd card mount avilable.. Tried many times still same result!
Please provide a recovery for M with mountable sd card..
Even through if the sd card is addopted as internal storage..

SD card is encrypted in Marshmallow after making it internal. Therefore recovery cannot mount it
You can only wait till someone finds a way to mount
Hope that helps
BTW you can flash using sideload or you can put small zips in oem folder and then flash with latest twrp (oem mount is supported in that)
