Turn off phone, take out sd card, put it on nd turn on phone again.
"can't mount from sd card" happened if you connected to pc with usb cable or sd isn't inserted ok!

i tried that still wont work. could it be a rewrite demon on the sd. the cwm on the cm7-2.0.7 can read my sd i dont understand why the cwm in the ics kernel cant. ive put cm9 on 3 other x8s and ive never had this problem.

turn on your phone without sdcard first..
then use card reader to check your sdcard..check the format is FAT not NTFS
put those files in your sdcard..
after that turn off your phone, and insert your sdcard and turn it on again! :laugh:

mount sd-card
ok, i think i figured this out, and i have had to register in order to share my findings. i was having the exact same problem, bootloader unlocked the kernel flashed and couldn't access the sdcard.
what i did...this worked for me with a 2gb sdcard
1. in the clockwork menu partitioned a 1024 partition and if i remember correctly the 256 swap. it takes about 1 minute dont worry if nothing seems to be happening.
2. i was then able to mount usb storage
3. passed the rom and gapps to sdcard through usb, and installed from sd no probs
4. after configuring minicm went back to try and partition the full size of the sd card but wasnt able to for some reason. maybe some light could be shed??
hope ive helped anyone and thaks to this thread.

SD Card Damaged, G1 won't boot.

Title says it all. I unmounted as I should have before turning off USB storage, but when I unplugged the USB cable, it said I have a damaged SD card and that I may need to format it. I hit the OK to format and nothing happened. I tried rebooting and nothing happens. I'm rooted with CM 3.9.7 mod, A2SD, etc. I've tried flashing the recovery, etc, but it can't mount the SD card and so fails. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

do you have a card reader for your computer?
No card reader for my computer.
do you have another phone or device that you can put your sd card in and connect to your computer
yeah, a Dash.
I've run into this problem before. Rebooting the phone. without selecting the format usually fixes it. I think it just happens when the SD card fails to unmount properly.
If you have an update.zip on the SD Card..try applying it through the recovery menu. If it says it fails to mount the SD Card over and over, then your SD Card probably is actually damaged.

Is there any way to fix the card? Like I said, I've got an HTC Dash running WM6 that I can put the card into and connect to the computer. Is there anything to be done?
try to format it from the dash through computer, but im not familiar with dashes
I think I may have figured it out a bit.
The Dash wouldn't recognize the 8GB SDHC, but I fortunately still had the original 1GB, which it did recognize. I was able to transfer the CM 3.9.7 onto it and boot in recovery mode and reload the update.zip file. I'm currently booting up and once that's done, I'll do what is necessary to put my 8GB card in, format it and then try to make everything work again. Suggestions?
you want to use the 3.97? that rom is still experimental. maybe you should use the 3.6.8.1 rom

I usually keep a back up of everything just in case.

he might want to try the stable rom though
My plan succeeded! I'm now waiting for the Market to let me download my apps again. It let me download a couple, but stopped for some reason. It's happened before, so I'm not too worried. If I should be, let me know. Thanks.
ok sounds good
For some reason, Google Talk was disabled. I enabled it and voila, everything's all good!

[support discontinued/rom still active]How to get CM10.1 Working on LG 2x su660 100%

Experience CM10 like never before!!
Assuming u have the LG and Apx drivers installed then proceed with the installation.If not back off!!
I had only the stock froyo rom and i had found installing other roms kind of a pain i wanted the ultimate quick experience to crown this device with a great retirement(adding jellybean to it). Lets get started.
Downloads:
-Cwm special installation file. (u need external sd card for cwm to work)
-My Patched CM10.1 aka 4.2.2-
-gapps
What u need to to:
-put ur device in apx mode.(remove battery, then hold vol +&- for 4 secs then connect usb and dont let go until u notice device is linked to pc)
-go to cwm and run flash.bat.Wait till everything is done and it tells u "press any key to continue..."
-On reboot u should be stuck on CWM no matter what u do.
-Now move to mount and storage and mount usb storage.
-Transfer my patched file and gapps to ur device.
-Then install zip from sd card and then install my file and reboot.
-Boot should take abit long but it eventually boots and works flawlessly.
Issues:
- u need an sd card for cwm & rom to work very well or else ur phone wont be able to read ur memory and so wont store anything.
-After installation the internal SD card wont work so go into recovery and flash this file.(u need an external sd card as this will swap your external and internal storage)fixed with this
-The method above is usually reverted and as of now i've found now way to keep it stable to use external memory!!
-During call hang-up doesn't work.Go to accessibility in settings and choose "power button ends call" & "home button answers call" for the workaround to this.

4.) then go to setting/storage click mount

Then just undo what u did by reversing what u changed.If internal storage doesnt work then cm10 doesnt work with ur internal storage so get an external one.(way cheaper than getting a new device):angel:Normally my tips in previous post should help.
hi, the changing of sdcard0 to sdcard1 worked for me but same as others my internal storage is not being detected funny i also tried to reverse but no good, good thing i have extra sd card lolx too bad we won't be able to use the 16gb internal storage... if there is any news for this please share thanks!
edit for follow-up: i tried to reinstall the rom you created but this time this is what i did,
1. put phone to apx then flash.bat
2. put phone to CWM mode
3. mount sd card
4. my computer detected the external sd card and the internal but it says format so i did format the internal
5. installed the rom and then gapps then when i try to mount emmc on CWM this time its working hehe
6. reboot phone then i checked the storage BOOM! there it is! internal and external detected! then only problem i have now is the camera app is missing lolx any help???

those are some known bugs and im not sure their fixes are out yet.But audio on calls works for me though!!
If you are rooted, just use Clocksync. It will automatically sync the time and date for you, so no more going back to 2007
hi there!
I managed to flashed CM10 with CWM 5.0.2.8e recovery. Problem is rom can't mount internal & external sdcards. while I can manually mount the internal sdcard in cwm to copy files, external is no way to be found in cwm. I already posted a reply on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987772 but seems wkpark is such a busy person. Also flashed those 2 patch zip files (su660-emmc-fixer-default & switched) but to no avail.
Hope you can give me light on this. I love having JB on this phone (SU660). Just aching on this in/ex sdcards mounting problem.

SD card not mounted

Hi there finally flashed a custom rom and got cwm working still odin doesn''t recognize my phone anywhere and now my sd card cant be mounted and i cant even format it in my pc?
Its seen as on the phone and pc but not mounted or to be fromatted
Anyone have a solution or other custom rom to flash through cwm ?
``small edit:when i put in the sd card in other phoen sgs2 then it won''t boot up?
is sd card broken maybe?
Is then only solution to replace sd card?
When i put it back in the gts5570 i it says blank or not supported sd card.
Pleas answer?
use sdcard reader or another phone to check is it broken or is formattable.

no it's not formatteble so i guess its broken,i will gett a new sd card for it and will try to put on cwm and get it rooted first.

[Q] Cannot flash zips from self-compiled ClockworkMod

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.

suddenly sd card is not detectable....plz help

:crying:Can anybody help me..plz?? I have a sd card of 32 gb Samsung evo class 10...today i remove the sd card from my phone(obviously after switch off) and insert in pc to take a game(amazing spiderman 2).

Later I tried different SD cards...but none of them got detected. I also format the SD card. But,still the problem persists...now plz help me,plz...
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.
