My problem was:
My SDcard got write protection from no where, but when i am connectiong the sd card with an adapter to my laptop, it works fine.
and when i am putting it inside the phone again still got the write protection.
i can't download anything or delete.
I FOUND THIS SOLUTION:
1. Backup all your sdcard or your data will be lost
2. Go to your phone setting --> Storage --> (Under SD card Section) choose Format SD card --> Format SD card
3. Restore all to your SD card
Use SD card Adapter for faster file transfer.

I have this peculiar problem, sometimes my sd card wont auto-mount.
Thats not really a issue since its easily fixed, but the thing is that when the sd card is not mounted, another folder is used in its place.
so when i try to access the sd card i go to /mnt/sdcard/_externalsd/
Sometimes i get the correct sd card contents, but sometimes i get another folder, containing stuff and photos that ive been placing there when the sd card was not present.
This eats my internal memory and i cannot find this non-mount-folder when the sd card is mounted.
So i wonder, is it possible to disable read/write to this default non-mount folder so it appears as if the sd card isnt present (when it isnt) instead of as it is now, faking a virtual sd card?
Just unmount your sd card then copy the files from externel/ to some backup folder on your internal sd . To get the mounting issue fixed you could mount your sdcard on a pc and format it with the standart system tool , just rightclick the sdcard once its mounted and select format, dont do quick format dunno if thats also gonna work
No auto amount is also due sometimes to a recovery reboot from Rom Manager directly
Happened to me
Entering in recovery with on/off and vol down solve it
I have XXKB9 ROM installed.
When I goto Settings > SD card and phone storage, it has follonings
SD card - 7.38 GB (sub menus Total space, Available Space, Unmount SD card & Format SD card - Disabled)
USD Storage 1.52 GB (sub menus Total space, Available Space, Format USB storage)
Device Memory - 1.56 GB
When I try to transfer an app to the SD card, It only move to the USB storage not to my physical SD card (8GB). With some apps, this USB storage show as Internal SD card & the SD card as External SD card.
How to move apps to the real SD card (8GB)?
Also the menu does not allow me to format the SD card as that option is disabled.
u can swap ur internal sd with ur external sd.
in gingerbread firmware...internal sd = usb storage ... and external sd = sd card.
u can use this link to learn how to swap ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088474
but use this vold.fstab from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151078
If you want to format external sd card then first choose unmount sdcard option from setting...then format sd card option will enable automatically...!!!
Hi guys,
My external sd card suddenly cant be detected by both my phone and my computer
I tried flashing to many different roms and still no hope
Any suggestion please? :crying:
Thanks!
Connect your SD card via card reader to PC and try format it. If you don't see files or PC don't see this card - it can be damaged.
Card reader u mean the card adapter? i don have 1 of those
and when i connect my phone along with the external sd in it
the phone recognizes it as removable disk H but i was not able to open it
does this mean its not damaged?

The file system (partition) on SD card is broken - you need format SD card

Any other method to actually format it without the card adapter?
The easiest way is connect card via card adapter to PC and check that card and files are visible. If card is recognized but you can't access to it you need format it.
You also can do this in your own phone: in settings - memory - try disconnect external SD card and then erase/format external SD card.

formating/erasing options depends on which rom you use.
When you connect phone with PC and tap mount SD card (or something like that) on phone screen, you should see card on PC - can you see it? You write that it has assigned drive letter H - right click on that and format it.
I tried that it says "theres no disc in drive H:" Please insert a disc and try again
try mount SD card with and without USB debuging.
try format SD card via recovery
If you have different SD card try it to eliminate ROM/settings problem.
i cant erase my external sd because its not detected
the recovery cant mount it because the external sd is not found
trying with and without debugging also didnt work oh my god
i don really understand the last option though
"If you have different SD card try it to eliminate ROM/settings problem."
In your case there are two posibilites:
1) sd card is damaged - logically (file system/partition) or physically
2) phone is damaged - logically (ROM bug/phone settings) or physically
If you put other SD card in your phone and phone will see it and you will have access to files from that SD card you can be shure that phone is ok
I have to reset my phone and after that I cant use the SD card (16GB) space. I created partition using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087497. Still I cant use the SD card. In storage option I can see it's size. SD card is och. I tested it by card reader. Any Solution please ... [I don't have proper root access]
Hey devs is there any way to remove the type of encryption that lenovo make while formating the SD Card As Internal storage so, it cant be used in any other device after formating it as internal storage
There were many important files in my sd card but now i cant access to my lenovo phone and i need that data from that SD Card To Pc via a card reader but there's that type of encryption in my sd card is preventing me to do this as it is formated as internal storage
So is there any way to get data from my sd card without having my phone?

No way. Internal storage format was made to be usable only with the phone. That's why it is "INTERNAL" format.
Phone is necessary.
Also, another recommendation. Do NOT turn on your phone with internal formatted SD card out of device.
