Hi,
I am having an issue that I'd hope you would be able to help me with. I flashed CyanogenMod10, and everything was doing fine, smooth performance, reboots with no problems, but then suddenly one day it went bricked. I restored through the SmartFlashTool Method, and got back to the stock Rom with everything working except for the SD card.
I have tried out various stock ROMs and none seemed to recognize the SD card, outputting a message of "SD card removed. Please insert a new one."; getting on to ADB when trying to mount the SDcard I get this message "mounting /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 on /sdcard failed: No such file or directory", and while trying to mount the SD card in CWM Recovery, it tells me "E: Can't mount sdcard", and when I try to mount USB storage through CWM, I get "E:Unable to write to ums lunfile(no such file or directory)", and when trying to mount /sdcard on CWM I get a "Error mounting /sdcard" message... I hope people at XDA would be able to help me since I have been lurking through the forums and internet without any good answer. :highfive:
I was able to mount the SD card through ClockWorkMod Recovery v5.0.2.6, but again, barely at random times when it works, and after installing a ROM those times, the phone usually works for one hour or two and then gets bricked again. I can not have access to another CWM version since I need an SD card to flash it. To install CWM I am using a patched .bin and .fls files in the SmartFlashTool method of unbricking. When the SD card gets recognized, I can even reboot the phone and still get the SD card to be recognized. The SD card problems don't happen until the random bricks after flashing a ROM. :fingers-crossed:
I have also tried using several functioning SD cards of different capacities formatted in NTFS, FAT32 and exFAT with no luck. I am also not willing to go back to stock since it is buggy and lags a lot compared to CM7, CM10 and every other custom rom I have tried. :crying:
Thank you for any help you could provide me, or if you have any answer for this problem,

As I have stated above I have already tried different functioning SD cards formatted as different filesystems compatible with Android, but the help is appreciated. :silly:

Well, I know for sure it started to happen after a flashing to CM10, when after a simple reboot, the phone got bricked. :crying:
Any ideas on how to fix it or what is causing it?

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.
Hello folks
I opened this thread as having serious problem with extSD Card. During rooting and flashing process I accidentally wiped both int and ext contents. Luckily brought back my phone from grave as obviously no OS and full erase. I installed new OS with Sideload using Hasoon2000's All-in-One toolkit. Unfortunately I cannot bring back mounted ext SD card and also PC seen only Internal storage. This is boring as I cannot flash anything. More over I worry to reset phone because often freeze during boot.
Read plenty of threads and checked-out everything possible with no avail. I desperately look for viable solution help to bring back my phone to right order.
I am sure this thread helps many of us with identical problem.
Thanks for ideas and clues! :good:
Cheers. M. :laugh:

Any luck? Having the same problems.
Having the same problem.. External_SD card won't mount since i unlocked my bootloader, again.. NO S-Off yet. I have a custom ROM flashed via ADB Side Load... But as soon as i flashed the custom ROM, External_SD card was fine... Cuz my HTC One X won't mount either all of a sudden, and That phone's straight, no worries there... My device manager has the caution sign in portable devices... I wanna say it's my computer, but still could be my phone... I'm using TWRP recovery and i'm able to see what's on my SDCard through there, before that i had CWM and it didn't do ish for me... Any insight on this would be awesome..
Clean install of 4.3. Got root as I have an unlocked bootloader.
External card not writable.
File explorers have root permission.
Suggestions please, I don't have access to a pc today to try fixing permissions via Windows.

have you tried unmount/mount sd card
and have your tried to reboot the phone
maybe reformat sd card will be required
Tried all except formatting. Not convinced that's the only way as yet.
Just tried using fix permissions in ROM manager. Didn't work either
Mounting to Windows and fixing sdcard errors there didn't work either.

I've tried formatting the card now as well. Both quick and regular. Doesn't seem to work. The files are still visible.
Its a 64gb sandisk ultra. Bought only a few months ago. I thought they were supposed to be a good brand. Seems like the card has corrupted after the flash.
Are there any other options?

Oh... Didn't asked how you updated to 4.3 ... ???
Ive been having trouble and flashing roms for the past week trying to get my captivate to boot, but i constanly either get into a boot loop or i load into a black screen.
In CWM 5.1.0.7, when i choose "Install zip from sdcard > Choose zip from sdcard" i get a "E: Can't mount /sdcard/" error.
If i go to "Reformatting, tweaks and more > System Information > Browse directories and files", ill get "No files found." on a few of the directories and my /bin folder only has "init.goldfish.sh" in it. most of them have only bare minimal things in them. (im not sure if this is normal or not)
How should i go about fixing this?

Thanks a million! I atleast got my phone to start up now lol. Is there really no hope for the internal SD? No way to flash it back to normal? It is a software error afterall.

according to me , no there is no hope...
bt according to some users, their sd card came back to life after some time and then got bricked again...
and also no to the stock, it boots up bt cannot really do anything..
you can now use cm10,10.1,10.2, 11 roms using neat kernel..

4 days later, I finally have the time to have one last follow up problem. I've flashed a CM11 nightly and my external sd shows up as my main storage in settings. I can download apps but i still can't access my camera or save pictures from the internet(it tells me "no SD card , and sd card is required to download). Also tested this with the voice recorder, it wouldnt start and told me the same thing.
Is this normal with the method you gave or have i done something wrong?

I got it completely working with your advice but when i took the phone out of my pocket it was stuck on the neat kernal loading screen and rebooting it wouldnt help. I decided to flash back to stock and redo the process. I wiped all data etc. in recovery but when i went to partition the sd card again in cwm it finished instantly.
My pc wouldnt read it and even my another phone didnt detect it was there.
I'm assuming the SD card just died, its verbatim 8gig(Not sure if thats a reliable brand or not).
Could this be because i did something wrong is it just a coincidence with the sd card dying? Im buying a sandisk soon anyhow.

Hey so my phone fell off this morning and i thought everything was alright, then i restarted it and it would only access to the CWM 6.0.4.7 recovery mode, i've been trying all things, wipes, when i hit wipe data/factory reset, it resets at the middle of the process, if i try to backup/reinstall rom from the external sdcard it fails giving me an "Status 0" error, i can only assume this is happening because of the fall...
What can i do?
Please help, really desperated
Someone please help? it's very needed and i'm in a hurry

Maybe the internal SD card broke because of the fall.
If that's the case then the only thing you can do is to install a ROM in the external SD card.

Okay guys im reading but i really don't understand, i'm a completey ignorant in this topic, i don't want to screw this but i really don't understand anything...
Can someone help me? After spending the whole night reading i finally did it and i restored my phone back to the stock rom installing it in my external SD, i made two partitions, one of 10gb in fat 32 and the another one 4gb ext3 (used this for the system), but now i can't use the camera because the "usb storage is connected" and the external sd cannot be mounted...
why is this happening? please help!
desperated bump
Also, i have some backups made with the CWM recovery but i really can't advance if i don't have the sd...
Read this.
You tried flashing Stock? If that doesn't work, take the device to a Samsung Service Center.
