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.

Ok so I rooted my phone as well as partinoned my SD card (I have an 8 GB now) a while back and now I am having problems with my SD card. The other day my phone gave me a message saying that my Sd card was not supported and that I needed to format it. Stupid me I did that on my computer and wiped everything of of it. My friend who also has a rooted G1 got my phone to restore the CM but now everything is saving to my phone again. I tried to part it again and it says that nothing is found. Any ideas on what I did and what I can do to get everything back to the way it was when it was working correctly?
Also my phone started doing this other weird thing where I'm viewing anything and im scrolling through whatever the screen timesout eventhough I'm touching it. Anything to help with this aswell?
Thank you guys so much for the help!
I lost ya when you said you tried to part it again but nothing is found. Did you partition the card and no apps are found or you couldn't partition the card.
I tried to partition the card again but there was no data found and I couldn't partition it.
If you can't even partition it then you have a bad card brother. The strange behavior could be a symptom of the ext partition failing. I'm assuming you have a swap partition but don't actually use it with a user.conf file otherwise a failing card would cause your phone to completely freeze.
Hello. This is my first post, but I have been a reader for a while. I recently bought Samsung Galaxy Note. Rooted it using the ZergRush exploit and installed CriskeloROM v0.6.
It worked perfect for a week, but then something wierd happened.
On my way to work I got out of the door and opened spotify as usual, but the screen just blinked and the app didn't start. When I looked into this it seems as if the phone won't recognize the SD card.
Saying that the phone won't recognize the SD card isn't entirely true. The phone know the card is there, but it appears as full.
USB storage: Total space 11.08GB - Available space - 0.00B, not even a single byte.
When I hook the phone to a pc, I can see that I in fact have about 8GB of free space. I can also without problem browse all the files as if nothing was wrong.
The things I know I have done that might interfere with it is that the other day I was going to copy some wallpapers into my phone. To do this I was required to encrypt the disk station using BitLocker. I have also by accident disconnected my phone without dismounting.
I have done alot of searches in google and on this site, but I have yet to find someone with the exact same problem as me.
I have tried to take out the battery and leaving it out for 15 minutes.
I excuse the wall of text and my poor english.
Thank you

When you boot into recovery and mount internal SD is the info correct there?
Thanks for the answer!
When I boot into recovery, witch I thought was CWM but witch turns out to be HyperDroid RedPill Recovery, probably changed when I installed the ROM (?), I can choose
- Mount internal SD
Witch leads me away from the menu and into a new little menu.
"USB Mass Storage device. Leaving this menu unmount your SD card from you PC.
-Unmount
-+++++Go Back+++++
And that's it.
However when I try to actually do a recovery (the recovery file is in the internal SD) I get the message:
"HyperDroid RedPill Recovery
E: Unable to write to usm lunfile (No such file or directory)Error mounting /sdcard!
E:Can't mount /sdcard"
do you have an external sd card in the phone? some kernels seem to swap the internal and external about
No I do not. Thanks for the answers guys!
After every time I restart my phone and it turns back on my phone will never automatically mount my sd card, so I have to go into setting and manually mount it myself which normally isn't a problem but every once in a while my phone won't let me mount it, when i click on the mount sd card button, it goes to another screen that has a title Reset? and the whole screen is blank. I have reset the phone, taken the sd card out, I have done everything that has normally worked in the past to get it to remount but this time nothing will work. Has anyone else had this problem, or any suggestions how to fix it?
Thanks
Same problem here

Sorry, no help for you, but I have the same problem here. Started just a few days ago. I haven't made any changes to my settings that I know of that could have caused it. Anyone have any suggestions for getting back the ability to mount the SD card?
Yup, me too, just rooted my phone trying to get cifs manager (cifs.ko) installed and working with my win7 machine (no luck w/that yet either)... since then the external sdcard unmounts from time to time and restarting the phone requires a manual mount
Fixed?
What I had to do was basically move my entire sd card on to my computer then I formatted my sd card put only my necessary things back on there and it fixed it, stupid but it got it to mount right away...oh and I formatted it though the phone erase function not using the computer, so I didn't have to take the sd card out again.
Tried the erase all, but no luck... I suspect it's related to installing busybox... tried unistalling that without success too... would installing another ROM likely fix that, and if so any recommendations?
Talking about an HTC vivid
I'm having the same issue, except it partially mounts the external card (only shows a couple of folders but not the /music folder with 2100 songs along with 4-5 other folders)...Only way I have been able to fix it is to connect it to the PC as a disk drive then disconnect it, then all the folders "reappear".
If I put the card in my tablet I have no issues.
I tried a new card but the problem is still there.
Any help or suggestions?
Problem Solved

Good Evening OP,
I had a problem like this earlier today. I finally rooted and flashed a new rom (PACman). I used CWM as my recovery, and apparently this is part of the issue. You need to use TWRP for your recovery instead. Their website is at http://teamw.in/project/twrp they have instructions located there on how to install TWRP onto your Vivid. I used the fastboot method, then changed the settings in the 'Mount' tab to mount SD Cart, Internal and Use External SD. Worked like a charm. And since it's touch based no more using the volume rockers and power button... Hope this helps! By the way http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2109140 had the initial lead to install TWRP instead of CWM.
tl;dr - After installing CM 12.1 Stable on my XT1072 (UK Retail), everything worked fine. Suddenly, the SD card just disappeared and refused to mount or erase, but the card shows up on my PC and TWRP. Was thinking that reverting to stock firmware could fix it but couldn't find the ROM. If you have the stock ROM, please send! Other than that, any other solutions?
Hi everyone,
This is my first post here, and after searching around, I can't find any solutions for my problem. So, here it is:
Through TWRP 3.0.0.0, I installed the most recent stable version of CM 12.1 (Lollipop 5.1.1) after bad experiences of CM 13 nightlies. Everything was working fine and I started reinstalling my core apps. Once I installed my main daily apps (and no games), I started copying my music collection from my PC to my 16GB Kingston SD-HC card. Everything was going well, then suddenly, when I unlocked my phone, the SD card was just gone. I checked Solid File Explorer Pro (what I use) and it only showed 'root' and 'internal storage'. My music app said my collection was empty. When checking the Storage section of settings, it only showed my internal storage. Under that, there was an option to mount my SD card or erase it. When I tap mount, it flashes with my SD card's information for a second but then disappears. When trying to erase the SD card, it says that the card is being checked although nothing actually happens.
I searched up multiple forums which didn't help, so I figured maybe it's just the ROM. I tried to find the stock firmware (5.0.2) for my phone but couldn't find it. If anyone has it, maybe reverting to stock will help? Anyway, as I couldn't find the stock firmware, I decided to carry on with CM 12.1 for the moment.
I rebooted multiple times and nothing worked. Then, I booted up without the SD card inserted. Then, when inserted, it said it was checking the card for errors. It did this for around ten seconds, but still, it showed up as mounted for a split second before going again. I went to TWRP and the SD card was mounted and working, but when booted up, my phone refused to mount the SD card.
This led me onto searching how to manually mount the SD card but all of that made no sense to me (this is my second time flashing a ROM) and I kind of gave up there. And here I am! What do I do? Please someone help! Thanks even for reading, though.
Have a great day! (Hopefully with a fully-functional phone )
I have ret.eu and no issues using cm 13
Hi, I just upgraded yesterday my XT1068 to Android MM (Nexus Experience [http://goo.gl/Qc87Q7]).
And I was delighted to see the option to use my Samsung MicroSD card as internal memory. I installed all the apps I use frequently, restarted the phone and everything was fine till here.
I formatted my micro SD as internal memory, copied music, pictures and stuff using MTP to my SD, installed several apps and uninstalled some other that I didn't need anymore (Like 'Facebook Lite'). Wanted then to restart my phone to recovery mode, but it was restarting for ever and stuck with the rebooting animation, so I decided to press the power button for 3-5 sec to force shutdown the phone. But when my phone started again, everything I copied to the SD was gone, and files I removed were there again, apps like 'Facebook Lite' were mysteriously installed again as if I would have never uninstalled them.
In the launcher, all my icons and folders I organized, reverted to the positions and state I had before, last time I restarted my phone (before the forced restart when I lost the data).
What happened here? Looks somehow as if the partition table is being written back to the SD or phone memory when you are turning off the phone.. and remains in RAM during use.. Seriously?
Did such a thing happen to anybody else here? Is this how the new Android works? Every time your phone crashes or something, you'll loose all pictures and data that changed since last restart?..
Any information on this is highly appreciated.. Thanks.

i have a similar situation with my sd card and my xt1063, at the beggining i choose the option which makes the sd to save files and media. today the phone turned off because the battery was empty, at the time that i tried to turn on the phone it says that the sd card need format and now when i connect the sd card to the pc it is in RAW format. i think that the new system for "initializating" sd cards is broken or something, or simply we have bad luck or else.
edit: i have stock android 6.0 retla
sorry for my english pls
