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..

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,

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?
I've rooted and installed a new ROM for my friends HTC sensation XL called Total Sensless. Upon installation i forgot to edit the vold.fstab file in order for my sd card and internal storage to be able to be read. However I'm also stuck in a bootloop. i cant access the sd card from recovery to flash the same Rom with the edited vold.fstab and i cant seem to push a ROM via adb onto my phone as the internal and sd card memory isn't recognised. Any help would be save me paying from breaking my friends phone, i really need help.
Thanks heaps

First of all, make sure you read things before doing things, secondly, you should have S-OFF'ed the phone, most probably that is the reason why you are in a bootloop, so the best thing for you would be to find the device CID, and if you find a RUU to match your CID, then you are lucky and can start all this thing from scratch.
Or, you could use any of the tools Multi-Tool, AIO, whatever, and install another custom Recovery, and mount USB from there, see what happens.
I gave the RUU a try and tried flashing one that seemed to match but it kept showing an error saying "unable to update your android phone please get the right ROM Update Utility :/
I'll try installing a new recovery and let you know how it goes
Thanks a heap man

just installed and boom sd card wont mount i tried everything , well almost everything , i wanna keep the rom cuz it a sweet ass rom , any ideas on how to get mt rom to mount ?
Hi,
i have your same problem, and looking on the forum, i found this helpful guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1977267&highlight=sd+card
i think it should work...
i didn't exactly understand your problem. but i think you can't mount sd card in recovery. if you're using cwm try twrp. if you're using twrp. so be it.
This from a real noob, but I thought I would solict some additional input if there is some trick I have missed on my problem.
Since installing CM 10 on my Vivid, everything has worked well except the fact my internal SD has gone away. Based on stuff I have read here I have tried the following:
1. Factory Reset - no help
2. Mount drive using installed recovery, CWM - No Help
3. Install TWRP recover and try that, no help
4, Try various apps from Play Store, No Help
At this point it seems best to me to return the phone to factory state and see if the internal card is there, if it is, unlock the boat loader, install TWRP recover, then flash the rom, then boot imate (s on) and hope it works.
Any app that requires root and access to all the drives errors out.
A large group thanks to all of you who post so much info on the phone, and how to do things.
I assume you've tried mounting Internal SD in the Settings/Storage menu?

Internal Mounting
Thanks for reminding me about this, but yes, I have tried it numerous times but it doesn't work. A bit frustrating since it keeps me from storing certain stuff or using some rooted apps. Unless I find some other way, I will give the restore option a try in a few days when I get home.
Appreciate the reply.

My guess... Is you did a reset from fastboot...
If that is the case... I recommend getting twrp... Installing that... Mounting both storages in recovery... Then hook to your windows PC... And let windows format your internal SD...
After a reboot... Your phone will either mount your internal... Or offer to format it again... At which point it will work...
Unless we are talking about apps2sd in CM11...

As far as I know I did not reset from fastboot, but I have been in that mode a good number of times, so it is very possible.
I replaced CWM recover with TWRP and it would not allow me to mount the internal card, but the phone booted up OK, just no internal card. So I tried another factory reset and while in TWRP I noticed I was also getting a "can't mount /emmc/" message. Phone still boots up ok and works except for apps requiring access to the internal card.
I ran across some reference to a recovery called aroma something that is supposed to help with this problem, but am not sure it will work with my phone, still researching that.
So maybe this is pretty good evidence I did screw up and reset from fastboot?
I figure I am going to have to restore the phone to factory status, and start over, but I will wait to see if there any other suggestions.
Thanks again for the feedback.

Thanks very much, I will probably do this a bit later today and will let you know how it goes. Thanks for taking the time to help me out.
It Works!
Thanks againk, that solution did the trick.
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.

So... if that was the case, how can i fix the internal SD? Or how can i install the ROM in the external SD?
Also, the recovery menu only apperas if i have my external SD inside, if i get it out, the cellphone just gets to the Samsung Galaxy S screen...

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.
