Recently i bought an 8gB class 10 sdhc card. Put it in my phone it was working fine. I copied all the files from my old card exacty as they were mounted the card again and the phone says the card is damaged and reboots all the time.
I put it in a friends samsung galaxy3. The card worked fine and all files were there. So obviously it has to do with my phone.
I'm using gingerdx the latest version with stock kernel.
I'd appreciate all the help you could give me guys. Thanks in advance.
try to format your sdcard (backup fist)
don't perform quick format..
still can't try format using phone..
then make a partition..
on developer forum we have a [guide] how to partitionning sd card
Nothing. I tried what you said I even reflashed my rom and worked it with no extra apps but phone still restarts when i try to move an app to the card.
I don't know if it's significant but i noticed that: I went in cwm and tried to mount sd-ext and I always got an error. Tried to format it again error.

do not perform any activity in cwm regarding sdcard it is not compatible,even format sd ext it will give you a result of damage sdcard for some rom or your current,resulting to reformat your sdcard,now backup all your files to pc,reformat your sdcard through your phone,unmount sdcard t then erased sdcard,then back your files...Hope it help...
Go to advanced in cwm and go to fix permissions. See what that does for you.

Guys thanks for all the replies. Nothing seems to be working though, phone keeps rebooting. Might just be a faulty sd card, but that would be the second in the row.

I recently tried to flash Fresh Toast 2.1 and after 15+minutes my phone was stuck in a bootloop. I rebooted to recovery and deleted all the data and cache. Now no matter what ROM i try to flash it just keeps booting over and over. Anyone have any ideas? I was using apps2sd and completely formatted the sdcard, would this have affected anything? Also tried nandroid back up, but says "No files found" when I try to do so. Also when i try to format the sd:ext i get an error mounting sd:ext
In recovery try and format your sdcard with only a fat32 partition. Then try and enable ?MS-USB? and copy a ROM to your sdcard.Wipe data and dalvik and then flash ROM.
If that doesn't work try replacing your sdcard with another one.
Or you can push your ROM.zip to the sdcad through adb without mounting the sdcard
A2SD will only work if your sdcard is partition with EXT and swap. So if you don't have it partitioned then apps will install on your phone.
I gave it a shot but no luck, i am using the clockworkmod recovery 1.8.1.4.
I had the same issue happen the other day after a wipe and reinstalled rom... I have the same clock work mod you have also... what I noticed was that my phone only did that when I had the sd card in but once I removed it (after several hours of flipping out over it!) it booted fully.. but every time in reinserted the card, it rebooted.. so what I did was used paragon partition manager to create 3 partitions on the sdcard (i have an 8gb card) and made 2 Linux ext2 partition of 258mb or something close to it and the remaining was formatted at Fat32.. after I did this, I re-flashed my rom and everything has been working fine ever since... it may have been some corrupted files in the 2 Linux partition or something because I was running all my apps from the sd card and I had noticed the other day that every time I connected my hero to my laptop via usb, and launched pdanet, my phone rebooted...EVERYTIME.. and this is what led me down this road... If I made any mistakes here, I'm sure someone will correct me, as this is my first post...

Would you mind posting the steps to do that? Im pretty computer savvy but I need some steps to go from. Would I be better off picking up a new SD?
pulled the SD and it booted, thank god lol. Thanks for your help guys!
no problem... glad I could help.. as for the new sd card, you could very well just get another, but I managed to keep the one that I had but just reformatting it and re-flashing my rom (Damage Control v2.08.1) and it's been working fine since then..
Hello all,
Trying to restore my sd card to working order and im kinda stumped.Ive googled the problem and cant seem to get anything to work.
This happened after flashing cm6 blue rom and this was the first rom ive ever flashed. I used the universal androot method to root and rom manager to flash the rom. The rom works beautifully and I was able to go into recovery and flash ggaps even though phone isnt mounting to sd card.When I go to sd card in settings and click mount it say preparing sd card and then reverts back to safe to remove sd card. Any help would be great! thanks
Take the card out and Wen ur phone is on pull the battey out wait a few min reboot the phone back up with out then repeat this again this time wen the battery is out put the SD card back in reboot in recovery the home and power button way then wipe file ext and reboot might work might not worth a try

Do you have a SD card reader in your PC? Have you tried taking the SD card out of your phone, putting it into your PC, and formatting it? Copy everything that's on it to your desktop first, then format it, then recopy the files back to the card after the format. Then try putting it back in your phone. That may solve your problem.
Also , if you're recovery is reading it to flash gapps, then it may be the rom install. If all else fails, try a compete wipe and reflash

Thanks again!

I used to have a 4GB class 6 Micro SD Card. One day my phone crashed and I had to remove the battery in order to reboot. When I reboot, the SD Card is damaged and I had SD-Ext with alot of apps on.
I then got a 2GB class 6 Micro SD Card. Today the same thing happened.
I'm using FroyoByLaszlo 5.2 and I want to know if there's a solution to this problem (as in, stopping the phone from breaking my SD Cards - they must be reformatted before they will work now).
i am not sure if thats a genuine warning.i get it all the time every time i reboot,i just think thats cos i dont have an ext4 partition.all i do is remount the card
Sent from my HTC Dream using Tapatalk
I have Ext4 partition though. And if I attempt to launch an app (they usually have the default app green logo) it says 'Could not launch the requested activity'...
same problem here, with froyobylaszlo, did you find a solution? thanks
Reformat/partition your SD Card.

did that already, and then after a while the error comes back
it's the rom... you need to reflash it.. i had an issue like that.. dropped my phone and sd card fell out so no matter what i did it wouldn't fix, had to reflash rom..

yep! That is what needs to be done after that.
ok... thank you very much for your help.
I was wondering if the reflashing worked for more people? I reflashed like 3 times now and it still pops up.
Before when I switched my apps to the SD card, they died there and didn't work anymore. Otherwise it was fine (except with that annoying notification that would never leave).
Now I have formatted everything like 4 times and still no luck. This all happened after I got froyo by laszlo.

did you un partition it?
you need to un partition via recovery (set swap and ext values to: 0mb)
then remove from device, insert to pc and re format to FAT32
now do wipe of everything(flash superwipe) re partition your sd card than re flash rom.
So I've been having problems with my internal memory, so I decided to try it out. The first problem came upon rebooting my phone. It said something like "android.process.acore stopped working". So I decided to just format the card again, but the place for swap was gone (about 200 mb-s), so I decided to format the whole thing to FAT 32. At first, the phone didn't boot. Then I wanted to reinstall TheWhisp's CM 10 mod which I've been using, but CWM recovery said that mounting the SD Card failed. I read somewhere that going back to a stock rom might help, but nope. I still installed CWM Touch 5.0.2.8, but it still can't mount my sd card. Can anyone please help me? The stock rom is stuck in a bootloop, so I can't use the phone.

Are u sure u removed the ext partition before u tried booting up your phone? Having an ext partition without a2sd would cause bootloops. If you have removed the partition, then have you removed the init.d file from cm10?

Thanks for the answer but I've solved it since then. Simply had to reformat two or three times, now it works. The only problem is that when I remove the card and put it back ES file explorer does not see it, but that's nothing.
I have tried flashing several ROMs over the past few days. However, for some reason the SD card is no longer recognised. When i go to Settings/Storage "SD Card" is just greyed out and clicking "Mount SD Card" doesn't do anything... it can see the SD Card has 7.56GB of total space, but it doesn't appear to be usable.
As a result of the system not recognising the SD card, i cannot use the Camera or apps like Evernote, which insist on having an SD card present to launch.
I have tried:
- Flashing and reflashing different ROMs (SuperNexus, Slimbean, etc)
- Changing SD Card
- wiping cache, data, system, and reflashing
- Downloading mount apps from the Play store
Nothing works...
Would really appreciate help in fixing this.
Many thanks!

emmc brick i believe. this happened to me as well. the only fix is to have it serviced by samsung. try to see if you can download and run the emmc brick bug from the playstore.
Try to install a stock Rom (GB or JB, doesn't matter) with PC Odin.
This will give you a clearly defined state.
If you get error messages when installing PC Odin please post them here - then we can analyze it (and get hints if there's a chance you bricked your device).
If the installation is completed without problems and rebooting into the OS check your sd card again.
i think hes not talking about the internal storage.. infact the ext SD.. first flash a stock rom... then mount the SD card.. check if all works fine. if yes then move to CM rom.. this usually fixes the problem
i think u need to get another sdcard n check it out ！
don't use the same brand...

Thanks all for your feedback (man i love this forum!)
I ran the eMMC Brickbug Check and everything came back fine
I'm going to install a stock ROM using PC Odin and see where that takes me...
Will report back soon.

Quick update:
I installed a stock ROM using PC Odin, as suggested, and happily my SD card and internal memory showed up just fine. I then reflashed CWM and installed Supernexus 2.0 and everything has worked fine ever since. Thanks again for all your help!!!
Glad to hear it.
I have a similar issue.
Ever since this one morning when I turned my phone on (it was shut down) it won't read the internal sd card on my phone. I have tried restarting but it still doesn't work. When I open music it says 'SD card not mounted' and when I open photos it says 'Storage Space Full' and it closes the app. However, my storage is nowhere near full and this has never happened up until now. PLEASE HELP
