[Q] SD can not be mounted - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone.
I am using the Cyanogen mod 7 on my Galaxy Ace. Everything was going fine, I used link to SD to make an Ext partition and linked/moved all apps to the SD card.
Today I went to sleep and rebooted the Galaxy cause it had been a long time since I powered it off. When I woke up, all the widgets were broken and I had some overlay saying "Safe mode" on the bottom. I rebooted and widgets kept broken.
I realized that ALL the apps on the SD were gone, so I suspected it was not mounted.
Now the problem is that I can't get the phone to read any SD card at all. New, old, formated...nothing.
Thanks in advance if you can help me.
Regards.

Goto CWM and format your card. If in CWM i doesn't work, use a PC to do so and do not connect it via USB. Use a card reader or something. What class SD card are you using?
Anything below class 4 with Link2SD is bound to get damaged. I lost a 4GB class 2 and another 8GB class 2 because of link2sd.:crying:
And while you're on cm7, use s2e, it's recommended over link2sd for CM7. :good:

I can't, it says unable to mount in the CWM. The card is class 4.
But the problem is not the card, because I can read it in PC. And I tried another card in the phone and can't read it too. So the problem is in the card reader/mount.

Flash to stock and check if the problem persists. If yes, then maybe your card slot is damaged.

I keep getting damaged SD card error on my phone

On my computer it's fine. I just want to listen to my music. Damaged or not.
What causes Damaged SD cards?
Try to reformat it and see if it works. There are several things that can cause a card to go bad.
I have and just spent countless hours getting music on the card and I downloaded an .apk when I got error (Installed and worked fine) then just got error.
How to safe me from these from happening again?
All my apps are gone due to app2sd bummer

Just do what you always prolly do. Just make sure to unmount before you disconnect. Sometimes the cards can just go bad. Just make sure to get a name brand card and get a class 6 (you don't have to). It was prolly just a fluke.
Sandisk 8gb class 2 I do unmount error for past 3 months. Know I can't get back my apps2sd to rework after I did a format.
How did you format it? In the phone from UI? If so then it erased your ext partition.
Look in HERE for good guide on how to check what partitions do you have and to format and repartition.
Good luck
If your running swapper, you need to turn it off before mounting. Thats the main cause if its not actually damaged.
I had that happen to me when I tried using Apps 2 SD 2. It said it corrupted my SD, and when ever I tried to unmount from the PC, it would freeze up. I just backed it up, deleted all my partitions, reformated and made new ones. What ever A2SD you're using, make sure you follow tuts correctly.
If you use AppsToSD to partition your card and you get an error saying that your SD card is corrupted or damaged, ignore it. Take out the card, format the Fat32 partition on your PC (a full format, not quick erase). When it's done, both the Fat32 and ext2 partitions will be there. I have experienced that problem several times.
Also, you can do adb to get the files off the ext2 partition before you use the phone to remove the partition and re-format the card.
Well guess what all I did was turn off my phone overnight and charge it. This morning turned back on got the same good message after spending 5 hours putting music onto my card. So this time I am doing a full format of the card and just using fat32 nothing more no apps2sd I think that may be my problem. Cause when using it I don't get the option to safe remove the sd card in SD card settings.
My 2-yr old 8gig Sandisk Class 2 SDHC suddenly went kaput and won't be detected by my Topaz.
This sd card has been previously fat32-formatted and worked for 2 yrs.
Lately, before flashing a cooked ROM, I ran the mtty1.42 if that matters
Now, my phone won't even detect another sdhc (4gig Sandisk, Class 6) which is working fine on my wife's Raphael and/or my PC.
The error message the defunct 8gig SD card gives when connected via card reader to my XP sp2 machine is:
Exception Processing Message c0000013
Parameters 75b6bf7c 4 75b6bf7 c 75b6bf7c
[Cancel] [Try Again] [Continue]
You can't format something that is undetected, right? Any clue, please? Thanks.

Yea that happens my 1yr 8Gb class 6 dies a while ago but that was from my using it for readyboost and eboostr(unrelated).Now i got this 4gb class 2 thats pretty fast If you had swapper then i think the card could be damaged, try formatting that sd card in recovery mode.
there is a way to reformat the card if its not physically damaged but it seems like yours is. I dont rmr the commands to do it in gparted, butits possible

[Q] SD card disappeared in GingerDX v004

Hello everyone!
This might be a noob question, but I just couldn't find the solution to it. I recently got my hands on an Xperia X8, upgraded to 2.1 stock. After a week or so i stumbled upon this website and discovered all the custom ROM goodies. So yesterday I had some time to dive into the ocean of custom ROMs.
I rooted my phone, got xrecovery up and running, made a backup of my stock 2.1 and then installed GingerDX v004. I have to say it worked like a charm... until i found out that GingerDX says that there's no SD card in the device.
The odd thing is that xrecovery and the backup 2.1 system all see the SD card properly. In GingerDX's Storage menu all the SD card stuff is greyed out except Erase all data which doesn't work. Tapping it says all data erased, but when I hook it up with my computer, everything is there on the card.
I've tried the following without any improvement:
1. Restoring old 2.1 system - reads the SD card correctly
2. Full wipe, battery wipe, reinstalling GingerDX - no change
3. Formatting the SD card, putting it back in - no change
4. Rebooting GingerDX without SD card and putting it in while the system is up - no change
5. Rebooting with SD card, taking out the card while the system is on - no change - except for the fact that it states "SD card removed" in the notification bar. If I reinsert the card, the "SD card removed" message does not disappear, so basically nothing happens.
So could anyone give me an advice on what to do next? I'd like to take my chances before going out and buying a new card ...
Thank you in advance!
Maybe it's a bug in v004. Try installing v005. It's up now.

Thanks for the advice, but it doesn't work. Not even v005 sees my SD card
Maybe your card is corrupted.

That may be, although I find it strange that it works with my card reader (PC) and 2.1 also recognizes it. I'll try another custom ROM (FroyoBread maybe) and another card.
Until then I thank every bit of advice!
EDIT:
I've found another person with the exact same problem, which leads me to believe the problem is related to GingerDX
EDIT#2
I've just installed FroyoBread v23b and it handles my SD card like a charm. So the problem is related to GingerDX. I hope it doixanh manages to fix it soon.
SD card issue solved!
After many tries I've been able to solve my SD card mystery.
Looking back the solution is quite simple, it appears that Gingerbread doesn't like an SD card below Class 4. My card was Class 2.
So I went out and grabbed a Class 10 SD card and voila it works.

i guess its 4 and below, i have a 4gb c4 card and have the same problem... now i'm off to buy a new card...
Make a ext3 partition
SD Card
Had the same problem with GDX. Went back to Froyobread, and now it's MiniCM7, working like a charm. Maybe is GDX and SD Card class...
Maybe it's a bug (or feature) with sdhc cards that requires a certain speed to work. The stock 2GB sd card that came with the phone works fine..
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
I'm sorry to dig up an old thread, but i've EXACTLY the same problem.
The included 2 gigabyte sdcard and a sandisk class 4 8gb works, however my 4gig card isn't recognized properly (in v0017 my 2gig card isn't recognized too)
Tried every Gingerdx build, and LinuxDX v004 with the new sd card compatibility fix doesn't help.
I looked up with Logcat and it seems that the sdcard goes from "No media" -> "Pending" - and then it suddenly stops, no "idle-Unmounted", no "Checking" and no "Mounted".
The Recovery-systems (both, cwm 3 & 5) of the FXP Kernel has the same Problem, even the included sdcard aren't properly mounted (i can view files, but after i select one it says "Can't mount [Path]" and then the sdcard unmounted, or it is always ).
I have two X8s and the 4gig sdcard doesn't work on both with gingerdx 17, or fxp recovery.
But it looks like it's not gingerbread or CM7 related. Minicm2.0.7 works fine.
Maybe you had china no-name card. I've that and I've the same problem in gingerdx, ginger crutz and gingerxperia v10 (in v9 it's working fine) and CWM 4.0.1.5 recovery.
I have a same problem, 16G > 10Class sdcard(China), MiniCM7 work fine.
I'm sorry i'm having the same problem as well but my sd card is not chinese, are you sure this problem is due to SD card origin??? also where can you know which class your sd card is?
[SOLVED] SD card disappeared in GingerDX
I'm new here and english is not my mother tongue so forgive my errors...
I had the same problem and I had to uninstall GingerDx because without my SD-Card my whole life was a lie...
So... I installed the 023b (I think it's called like this, but I don't know) and I had the same f***ing problem...
What I did:
FIRST OF ALL!!! DO A BACKUP OF THE SD FILES ON YOUR COMPUTER!!!!
-Reboot phone in ClockworkMod
-mounts and storage
-format /sdcard
(BACK)
-Advanced
-Partition SD card
-ext4
-1024MB (1GB LOL)
-IDK but I pressed 256M [maybe you should leave a comment about wich size is better (0, 32, 64, 128 or 256)]
-wipe data/factory reset (try first to skip this)
-reboot system now
When you set up the phone it will say to format the SD. Accept and that's it!!
It's working!! (for the moment)
Thanks! If I said something wrong or you can help more with that problem comment please!!!

[CLOSED][Q] [9001][HELP] EMMC data partition broken,CM10 RC2 and Ext SD Card Damaged

Hello,
I damaged my data partition due to the EMMC bug last month while installing CM10 by Ivendor.
Now I'm trying to use the CM10 RC2 by Ivendor and accompanying patch to use the data partition on the external sdcard, but I can't get my phone to boot properly.
This is what I did:
1) installed CWM 6.0.2.8 from Ivendor post
2) Format a 32 GB external SD with 1 partition FAT32 and a second partition EXT4 of 4GB
3) Installed the newly updated CM10 RC2 from Ivendor (success)
4) Installed the "Patch for EMMC data partition broken devices" from Ivendor (success)
At this point I reboot the device and after the "SAMSUNG" and the "Samsung Galaxy s plus, cyanogenmod" splash screens, I see the the spinning circle with cyanogenmod at the center. But it does not go further.
Please can any good soul tell me what am I doing wrong?
I flashed only files from original Ivendor thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000828
EDIT
I got to the home screen but I get "Damaged SD card" message and phone shuts down
Ok,
after I cleared cache/dalvik cache, fixed permission and reinstalled a few times, I managed to get to the home screen but I get the message SD CARD DAMAGED and it it shuts down.
I'm using a 32GB class 4 card.
I've checked it a few times for errors on the PC. I've reformatted it a few times. I've also tried with another class 4 card. But the result is the same.
I assume class 4 is not good enough.
I bought a new class 10 card but I will get it next week.
Ok,
now I have a brand new Samsung SD Card class 10 but I still get the same message SD CARD DAMAGED few seconds after I get to the home screen and the phone switch off.
Does anybody have any idea why?
are the formattet partitions primary?

Yes, both partition have been formatted as primary.
The brand new SD card is a SAMSUNG class 10 plus UHS-I 32GB. The previous one was Transcend 32GB class 4. And I also tried a Kingstone class 4 2GB.
Anyway I get to the Android home screen for 30 seconds before it checks the SD for errors and shuts down.
Any idea?

maybe the problem is not the ext SD but the internal... or the card reader, it's quite impossible that you have 2 "old" sd card damaged and a brand new one damaged too

Ok, I've tried with other external SD cards (working in other phones) and I get always the same result when I try to use them on min: SD CARD DAMAGED.
My issue is probably not related to my external SD card. But I have no clue what could be wrong. Any idea?
I think that it could be your card reader or your internal SD card... You can send to Samsung

Galaxy Note 4 SM910T 4.4.4- Not Recognizing SD Card

Just purchased a used Tmobile Samsung Note 4 SM910T (upgrading from a Tmobile Note 3).
First thing I did was reset the phone to factory defaults with 4.4.4 and got it running. Everything seemed to work fine, programmed the finger print scanner (a nice feature), installed some apps. Seems to work like it's supposed to. Now, time to get the SD Card switched over.
Pulling the SD Card, (Sandisk Extreme 32gb (HC I) MicroSD) from the Note 3 and putting it into the Note 4, the SD Card was not recognized. So I put is back into the Note 3 to make sure there wasn't a problem, everything showed up fine, all files and pics where still there.
So I pulled the battery, thinking the card had to be in the slot upon boot up, I inserted the SD card and powered up the phone again. Still nothing, no SD Card detected. Humm...
I had an old 8gb Sandisk card laying around, popped it into my PC to see what was on it, had some files on there so I tried putting that SD Card into my new Note 4, nothing. Not recognized. I put the old card into my Note 3, shows up fine.
When I go into "Storage" and scroll down to the bottom, "Mount SD Card" Insert SD Card" are showing, but not the normal "Total Space" "Available Space" "Unmount SD Card" and "Format SD Card" even though the SD Card is inserted correctly into the SD Card slot of the phone. I again tested that SD card in my old Note 3, still shows up fine.
I have tried reformating the 32 gb SD card on my PC, trying all 3 options NTFS, FAT32 and exFAT. I even formated in the Note 3. None of those work, I get the same result. The Note 4 does NOT recognize an SD Card at all.
Bad Hardware?
Please help. Thank you
I would suggest installing the SD and trying to see if booting up on a custom recovery you are able to see it. If in fact you can then it might be an error with the ROM and you might need to re-flash it or move to another one. I suggest TWRP since it is the one up to date and has a built in File Manager.

Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried doing a hard reboot (HOME/VOL UP/POWER) buttons,
clicked on "apply update from external storage" and got a response
"E: failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory) (in red)
if it is new phone and both cards are not recognized then looks like hardware problem. I would try sd card from different manufacturer than sandisk and if there are no positive results replace it under warranty.

I will suggest you to wipe everything and install a stock rom, vibeui or row, and if it still doesn't detect cards than probably it is a hardware thing.

I had Limonchello Mod 5.0, first off the Blutooth, then the Wi-Fi stopped, then the SD-Card Issue.
I fortunately had a backup, so via TeamWin re-installed Limochello, then again the SD Card issue.
You have to go to Mount, and be sure that the SD-Card is mounted in TeamWin, helped me in the end.
And I don't think this is necassary to say:
Backup everything 1st.
Shut Down, HOLD Volume Up and DOWN and POWER until entering to Teamwin.
Check if SD-Card is mounted in options, in MOUNT.... Reboot.
Cheers, hope it helps.
EDIT:
Be sure to when restarted, Settings, Storage - try to Mount the SD Card if it's now availible. Restart again.
Cheers.
Another thing you could try is to have the SD Card in your phone, and via USB connect to PC, see if it'll find your Phone and SD Storage...
Rock and Roll!!!
I guess it's a recovery issue. I have the same problem. My sdcard shows when I connect phone to PC. My CWM recovery has been acting strange lately. It gave me a bootloop when I tried to flash gapps and sdcard is not mounted, when I try to mount it gives me an error. I am going to flash stock ROW ROM and recovery to get back my warranty soon so it doesn't matter.
