[Q] CM 10 cannot see SD card - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

Hi,
I flashed CM 10 (latest build) yesterday night on my Bell HTC Raider 4G LTE after doing all the steps from unlocking the bootloader, to S-OFF, etc.. and all went fine. I tried to install Swiftkey but could not because it always ask for SD Card which I already have in the device. I can see the SD mount from OI File manager. Although it has some files in it, I cannot see them. I tried to run the camera, and I got the same issue asking for SD card. I hope you can help. Is there a way at least to make the internal SD take place of the external one.
This is the structure I have in my phone:
/mnt/external_sd/ (removable SD card)
/mnt/sdcard/ (empty)
/storage/sdcard0/ (empty)
/storage/sdcard1/ (removable SD card too)
/external_sd/ (again removable SD card)
There is no directory /mnt/emmc/

Get TWRP...ditch CWM
use USB mount in twrp... plug into windows... let windows format it...
Try again

I've been having the same problem with CM10 after the last build. It will see the SD card on the phone using file manager, but will not mount the SD card as a drive when connected to my Windows machine (internal storage connects fine). Another Undocumented Feature?

This is a known issue with cyanmod 10. Update to the latest CM10 or just flash another rom, till the issue gets sorted out.

you can change the mounting type to MTP and it'll mount both at the same time. also, after you connect it and click the "mount" option on the phone, it mounts one of the cards, and then if you dismount it and remount it, it'll be the other card.

Internal SD card trouble

I just flashed serendipity 6.4 and it runs very very well. However since flashing, my pc has not recognized my internal SD card. The external sd card immediately pops up when connected. I can't access it from my pc at all, but when just on my phone, I can browse the file in astro. I already tried changing the it to mass storage in the usb settings. Any tips?
Check to make sure its mounted.
Settings>sd card and storage> internal sd
Thats the only thing I got.

If the above doesn't work, go into recovery and try and mount SD cards from there and see what it does. If it still doesnt mount flash to stock and get it warranty replaced
Im gonna try flashing back to stock and see if it recognizes. It should... hopefully. thanks
Next time, post in the ROM-specific sticky if your question is related to a certain ROM.

[Q] SOLVED: Connecting with USB shows only internal memorycard...

HI!
I have this problem that when I turn on the file sharing, the computer shows only internal memory card and not the external. Because the phone itself recognizes the external card I have tried to unmount and mount several times without any improvement. I am currently using the latest CM7 nightly, but the problem seemes to have started after I changed the card from 4gb to 16 gb. Any ideas?
EDIT: Erasing sd card from the phones menu helped to solve the problem.
Go Setting>Storage and remount your sd card and try???
I've done that several times....no help... android system accesses the card without problems...music, pics etc.
Did you physically remove your card and reinsert it, or just software remount?
Have you tried the card directly in your computer?
Have a look in windows device manager and see if it reports any problems. (right
click my computer and select manage)
I have tried it all and everything is ok with the sd card itself (I copied recent nightly from the computer on the sd card) also recovery recognizes is... there are also no problems in device manager...
Try to put on debugging mode. And try it with debugging mode on.
If the debugging mode is on try to take it off.
Regards Kali
I tried that also and nothing changed.... I have a feeling that it is somehow attached to me using mybackup pro... I restored application apk and data from another phone to this one and It seems that usually the application data should go to internal memory card. In this case it is on external card... so i believe that somehow the programs are still using the card when connected and do not allow phone to share it out... It's just a guess though...
EDIT: so I think the solution is to wipe everything and start all over again
So I fresh installed Rom and wiped everything and the problem still exist... still can see files with file managers in phone and when connected to computer, autorun shows only internal card...
Edit: I tried now 2gb sized sdcard and it works perfectly... the problem is with 16gb card.
Weird. Did you try another USB-port?
I tried different USB-s now and still same I found out that when I connect the phone, under my computer appears two removable disks.... if I turn on the usb connection, only one transforms to usable removable disk (internal) and the other one asks to insert the removable disk. I used the same sd card on my HTC desire with CM nightlies and it worked perfectly... could it be CM-s bug?
Sorry to ask (maby the obvious)
On Your phone.. using your filemanager (Root explorer astro or what-ever..)
Browse to sdcard
Do you have a folder called _externalSD?
On this phone, for some reason the external SD is not mounted under./ but as i said under ./sdcard/ (i.e its mounted under the internal SD card..)
Just a thought
Where the different cards are mounted doesn't make any difference. And as he said, it works with other cards (2GB and 4GB).
CyanogenMOD mounts internal card as /mnt/emmc, and external card as /mnt/sdcard by default.
When turning on USB storage, both cards should be unmounted and shared over USB.
Hi, I had the same problem with mine, and as you said in one of your previous posts, I had to do a format through the phone and as soon as I did that I was good to go.
I did use the same memory card in my old hero so this might have something to do with it... I'm not sure.
By formatting do you mean from the menu Erase SD card? On the desire I actually had the formatting request from the computer, but there was another problem (some of the rom's files were on the sdcards ext or something and I had no access to the card from the USB).... kind of a similar problem if I think back now but after changing to CM, the problem disappeared.
I forgot to mention I am running completely stock rom and unrooted (for the time being) and there is just an option under sd card & phone storage setting to format external sd card
After erasing the sd card from the phone, the computer recognized it i'm currently copying stuff back and i'm pretty sure it does not affect the recognition
I faced the same problem. I had Swapper2 on my NC, and after I uninstalled it (and cleared the data of Swapper2, just in case) everything went to normal back again.
^ a solution.

LG Optimus Black can't recognize sdcard

Hi all,
This is my first time posting here and i'm a noob at this subjects ^^.
I flashed Cyanogenmod 7.2 at my device and everything worked well for a week or so (despite a heavy battery drain). One day out of nowhere, my sdcard couldn't be recognized anymore, camera said to insert a sdcard, galery said to mount one, file manager didn't find any files in the card, etc.
I thought the sdcard was corrupted so i tried to format it at recovery mode but when i try to format it says "error mounting sdcard". When i connect via USB my phone to the computer, again the sdcard is not recognized.
So.. 2 questions:
Has anyone ever had this problem?
Is my sdcard broken and i have to buy another?
Thanks in advance!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem solved:
The sd card was really broken, not even a reader could recognize him. I buyed a new one and now everything works fine.
Thanks all for the replies.
try to format your sd card, you can copy all your files
and format it then you copy all your files back
or maybe try another sd card
I have been had this problem, but official rom, and I format my sd card
then it's ok
Your sd card has been corrupted.
Try mounting USB storage in CWM then use chkdsk command to repair it.

Internal SD card won't automatically mount itself

So I have no idea when this issues started and it seems to happen with *all* roms I flash on my Captivate now. (I'm using CM10.0 at the moment). Basically the issue is that when the phone boots, it'll only automatically mount the "internal storage (1.46gb)" and my external 32gb sd card.
It won't automatically mount the user-data portion of the internal card (the bit the Captivate calls "USB storage" (13.03gb). However, I can mount it manually if I go into <Storage> and do it from there.
This happens all the time to me *unless* I have my external sd card removed. Then everything boots and mounts normally. If I then insert my external sd card, then that will mount normally as well.
But with both my internal and external inside upon boot, it won't automatically mount the "USB storage area" that I mentioned. That's the bulk of the internal sd card in the first place!
So how do I fix?

Is your external SD set as main? It seems like it thinks your external has priority.

Hello,
Did you fix this problem? Because i have the same on my galaxy s i9000 running CM10.1 Nightly from today (11/01/2012)
4 Day ago everything was fine, both sd´s were mounted at boot. But then suddenly ...bang... no int-sd (Usb-Storage), although i can access everything in CWM (int-sdm ext-sd, system etc.)
Maybe you know something?
Greetings, Strainhunter

Bumping because there doesn't seem to be an answer to this. Mine is doing the same thing. Running CM 10.1 RC2, 5-28 Nightly. If I connect my Captivate to my computer, then disconnect, it will mount the internal SD, but then the external SD won't be mounted. If I follow that procedure again, both SD storages will mount.
Unknown how the external SD can be set as main storage. How is that done? My ringtones are all on my internal SD card, and every time this happens the ringtones have to be reset. It's a hassle.
try this
power down.
remove sd card and set it aside.
boot the phone without the sd card. wait for it to settle down - like 10 minutes.
with the phone still on, remove the back cover and put the sd card in the slot, then replace the cover.
go to settings, storage and see if the card is mounted. if not, click mount sd card.

I'm not talking about the removable SD card. I'm talking about the internal storage.
I know. try the steps I suggested. your storage devices may have multiple mount commands that conflict with each other. try it.

Seems to have worked. Thanks!
my external SD is mounted but doesnt show folds
I have a problem with my external SD. It mounts fine, sort of. All the things stored on it are in the phone and usable but, if I go into Myers file manager, Root Explorer, and if I go to ex SD, there is only like four files showing. This is a 16G SD card with about nine gigs uses just for music and another three gigs used for miscellaneous apps and things.
They are in the phone. They are usable. I just can't access them.
Is this something to do with permissions? Read and write? It does the same if I move it to my other phone. Any help would be great. Thanks

No External Storage Available - Cyanogenmod 10.1 Jellybean 4.2.2

Just downloaded and installed the latest ROM for the HTC Vivid (http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=2343586) which claims to have working camera and internal/external SD storage but I cannot get access to either one. I have formatted my SD card to FAT32 like the FAQ suggests and have swapped out to another SD card - still nothing.
Is there something I'm missing??
ICS labels storage as 'SD card' and 'ext_SD' and in jellybean labels them as sdcard0 and sdcard1.. Try using a file explorer to see if you can access it this way.

I've tried using ASTRO File Manager and I don't get an option to select either internal or external from the menu.
In Dropbox, I get "SD card problem. Your device has no SD card, or you have your phone connected to your computer, so Dropbox won't work properly." even though I don't have it plugged in.
Trying to open a multimedia message sent via SMS will result in "No storage. No external storage available."
Something's up....
Are you on the latest version? I know on the 6.30 build storage did work when I was on it.. Something may been screwed up in the latest build, I would post in the ROM section and see if any one there has the same issue

Does have SD card working.
Not sure how but phone asked me to format my SD card this morning and now it works. It seems that I can get into my internal SD but the micro SD is just empty gaining files from random apps I install.

Try changing the mass storage option to MTP in Settings->Storage->(press menu key)USB Connection Type->MTP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34949219&postcount=2
When I did this I was able to connect my phone to my computer via the USB cable on the 6/29 build and could see directories, but not individual files. However I copied the 7/2 build to the appropriate directory and found it fine on the phone.

That worked for me! That's a thanks!
I'm using 4.2.2 Unofficial Dirty Unicorn, mass storage option only mounts internal sd on my pc,
thanks for the info to set mass storage option to MTP, it temporarily fix the problem.
Has anyone been able to get to external storage via USB Mass Storage? I can see external on Windows via MTP, but only internal on UMS. When on the stock ROM I would use my phone as music storage for my vehicles.My vehicles can access UMS not MTP for music.
same problem here
