Hello,
Today I tested out the wipe feature of an anti theft app (was on JVO stock + CF Root Kernel). The external SD was not modified in any way (no speedmod, ext file system or anything).
For some reason, it failed (it did work successfully in the past). It neither wiped the internal nor the external SD card. Now the external SD card is gone (see below).
After the wipe the phone auto rebooted and recovery mode showed this:
Code:
Android system recovery <3e>
[i]standard options were listed here, the "reboot system now" option was selected and the system was waiting for input[/i]

So I clicked "reboot now"
Now the main issue: since then the SD card is no longer recognized.
The taskbar icon keeps saying "SD card is empty or" (the rest is outside the screen). Storage info says unavailable (see attached pic).
Any chance to get the card working again? I don't really care about the lost data as I backed this up prior.
Also tried to access the card with a card reader in Windows but nothing happens at all when I insert the card into the reader.
Try to make a folder called external_sd on your internal card.

Ok, did that and even created a folder inside external_sd. Now what?
It still shows "not available" on the external SD card storage space info. Formatting still does nothing and mounting card via the settings menu just hangs.
edit: copied over a few hundred MB into the external_sd folder. According to the storage space info it consumes space on the internal card so apparently that new folder is not really accessing the external card?
My external sd wasn't recognised too (but with MIUI), after I created this folder everything worked fine. So it would have been possible that it works for you too.
But don't copy anything into the folder, let it empty.
Sadly, that didn't do the trick.
Aren't there any tools or anything in recovery menu that could help me getting the ext. SD card recognized again? I can't even format it in Windows since it's not recognized.
Have you tried another sdcard in your Galaxy?
This is the only SD card of this type I have. :/
did you try flashing your phone ?
Yes, I flashed a few times (downgraded from Gingerbread JVO to Froyo JPU, then flashed to JPY and eventually via Kies to GB again, JVI), the problem remained.
I think you have problems with internal sd card ( storage ) If you have waanty you need to go to service, change phone.
Could you explain this further? What makes you think the internal SD storage is faulty? So far, only the external card no longer works.
Check first message

As you can see, phone can't format /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 and other partitions.
mmcblk0p2 mounted at /sdcard . Can't format, so can't mount unformated partitions.
External sd card mounted at /sdcard/external_sd. If sdcard not mounted - external too not mounted. Why can't format? I dont know, or memory chip bricked, or some thing with soldering.
I'm so unfamiliar with recovery mode, thanks for these explanations.
So could that mean my internal SD may fall apart at some point too?
I think phone boot in this order:
1. First Bootloader
2. Second Loader
3. Kernel
In first loader we can boot usually or in Download Mode
In Second - Recovery mode to install update.zip or wipe data, cache and sdcard
I have a similar problem. I have a 4GB external SD-card. It functioned fine until updating the MIUI-mod. After that, only the internal 16GB could be seen by the SGS. Even when I went back to Froyo, the card couldn't be read anymore. It wasn't even detected. Except when removing the SD. The system says then that the card can be removed... strange since it already is removed. Connecting it again, the message goes away. I checked the SD in my cardreader on the pc. Working fine there. I formatted it multiple times (FAT32), but no luck so far. The SD doesn't seem to be broken or should I format it with another clustersize or something?
Try this, on my phone it helped:

But do not copy any files in it. Just reboot after you have created the folder and then your external sd should be recognised.

Hello
I have a problem with my N1. It happened while flashing a custom rom - what caused it, I don't exactly know. The problem is, that now, my N1 wont boot. When i turn it on it is just stuck at the 4-colored X. I can boot into recovery and everything, but it can't mount my sd card from here, all i get when trying to do anything related to the card is this message:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount /sdcard
All my phone can do now is to get to the bootloader, recovery and fastboot. I'm unable to install a new rom or a new recovery. Actually i'm unable to use my phone for anything.
Hope you guys can help me out
Did you do the obvious and try another SD card?
Or try and fix sd card errors or just full wipe the card??
Yeah, i did try another card and got the same message. Both cards works fine when i tried them in another phone. And yes i did try and wipe the card as well.
You can go to Amon/Mounts and mount card or try a repair sdcard
If you have backup of card, I would reformat (sdformatter) and repartition
Do you use Temasek's System Only Wipe zip between new roms in addition to data/cache wipes?
Tried fix permissions, mount sdcard in recovery says Error mounting /sdcard..
SOME ONE PLS HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
I recently bought a Galaxy Tab off of eBay with the seller saying they couldn't get it to get past the bootloader thinking I could fix it. Easy right?
I've been working on this thing for over 3 hours trying to re-partition and flash the stock firmware via Odin and it's getting me nowhere. After installing the stock firmware I get stuck in a bootloop on the main screen. Recovery says:
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
when trying to format all the partitions, thus it cannot mount any filesystems:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/recovery_kernel_log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)
... etc
I've come to the conclusion that my SD card is dead. I have an extra micro SD just laying around, is there any way I can force the tablet to use the external storage as the internal storage so I can revive this thing?
what tab model?u have repartitioned the tab that's why the internal is gone
When I enter recovery mode, selecting apply ´´update from external storage`` the error !!! E: failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory) !!!
how to fix this problem ????
There is an external sd card in the phone? Does the sd card work fine when the phone is booted normally?
No. .. when I put the sd enters normal! wanted to access the internal memory by his recovery ... before entering the normal without the sd!
You cannot access external storage without the sd card..
I want to access the internal memory!
Which kernel are you on? Stock kernel seem to see only external sdcard. Some kernel see internal as external and vice versa. You better flash PhilZ kernel which should help.

The option you trying to access in stock recovery "update from external storage" points to he external SD only. You need to use CWM for accessing internal recovery.
how to install CWM?
