[Q] Lollipop SD card issue - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys
I realise after upgrading to LP (rooted, BL locked), the SD card will not mount everytime I reboot the phone. If I go to "Storage" and click Mount SD Card, it will say mounting but nothing happens.
The phone knows the card is inside, but it just doesn't mount it. The temporary fix is to eject and reinsert the SD card and all works well.
I tried searching but can't find someone with the same bizarre situation. HELP! thanks!

1. remove sd-card reboot phone and insert it. then reboot to check if it s OK or not.
2. another solution is to format sd-card (thr might be issue with sd-card)
3. Repair xperia firmware by PC Companion (if thr s problem with xperia system)

Hey! I've got the exact same issue. My Z3C is rooted, and I'm running Lollipop 5.0.2. If I reboot my phone, it acts just as if there was no SD-card inserted. And just like you, I cannot manually "mount" it, I need to take it out and then reinsert it again.
And just like you, I have searched the web far and wide for a solution but nothing has helped.

Number 1 doesn't work.
Number 2 doesn't work.
as for number 3, I need to ask a question about this one: if I would use PC Companion to "repair" the firmware, as you suggest; would this really work when the phone is rooted?
I hope there's someone out there who might have an idea about a solution for this..

yup but you will lose ur root access by installing fresh firmware by Repairing option in PCC

Yeah Ok, thanks. So that's really not an option then, because I would really like to keep root.
Now, a question for OP:
What firmware, exactly, are you using on your phone? I mean, which version and from where is the FTF-file? I'm wondering if the firmware version and / or region could be the cause of this problem... trying to narrow it down here...

Hello , did you manage to solve this issue please ??? I have the same problem after updting my Z1C to lollipop , I used Generric DE pre-root with dual recover , phone only mounts SD if taken out and reinserted but if reboot it does not show althought I can acces through root browser
Thanks

Exactly the same issue here. After a reboot, the SD card doesn't show up in Settings->Storage or in MTP sessions (nor - I think - in apps such as Album/Music).
But it is always fully accessible from the file system, e.g. using Root Browser/ES.
The card is correctly recognised when I remove and re-insert it.
It's not a great problem as I try not to reboot my phone very often. For reference I'm using a rooted Russian .726. FW.

Funny how rooted phones are facing this

Same issue here, using rooted .28 LL FW.

The main problem to me is that i can not use recovery , i changed to italian pre rooted and samevissue as with german

I suggest downgrading to .93 Firmware ( KK ) then flashing Global .28 ( Lollipop ) firmware using Flashtool.
But it's highly unlikely it would be a software problem as most users don't experience this but are also rooted with Locked bootloaders. Maybe its the SD Card?

I flashed a pre-rooted Lollipop made with PRF Creator via Recovery coming from FW .93 ( kk ) and no problem on my end It must be a software issue on some Kitkat releases

Both are the same class? It may look like a stupid question... but I had another problem and the issue was the brand. Maybe the class could be a problem?

Samsung micro SDHC evo 32 gb class 10 and SanDisk Ultra micro SDHC 32gb class 10 , the only issue is they do not ppear as mounted nor you can see them on pc unless you take them out and insert again , but both play the music and i can see the pictures on them but as they dissapear when you reboot the phone I can not use recovery , I can even with root browser I can see files on them

Oops forgot to update this thread.
Anyways I gave up looking for solutions until the phone refused to sleep AT ALL. I went ahead and reflashed KitKat and went through the whole procedure again.
The problem magically disappeared and has been fine ever since. Still rooted and lollipop.:good:

Exact same probleme here with my rooted z3 compact .726 and 64GB microSD card.
I replaced by new card, reformat many times, still same situation.
Card is always visible in totalcommander but not in the system.
It happen yesterday when i started the camera app for taking a picture. It worked for many weeks before without problem. Strange! [emoji43]

HD7 reboot automatically & boot loader problem

Hi guys, I bought my first WM7 phone more or less a week ago. Returned home I updated my hd7 and it was ok.. Using the phone I saw that it reboot himself automatically sometimes and other times after the reboot he says me "Storage card not working"... I though that the problem was the update... I tried to downgrade but I failed this operation because I've never used a WP7, I had an iPhone... So.. I tried other times to downgrade but nothing.. Now my pc don't recognize the phone in boot manager mode (the colored screen) and it's not written USB or Serial on the bottom... I think I did a bad think...
Can you help me to repair my mobile?! What do you think i have to do for solve the rebooting problem?!
I also colled Htc support and they said me to send them the phone but I can't stay 2 weeks without my phone... My mobile is already under warranty for more or less one year.
Thank you very much to all.
P.S. Sorry for mistakes on my english hahahh
I had the same problem. It was when I changed my SD Card for 32GB. But the card were too slow. I changed the SD for another ( and faster) 32 GB SD, and it correct the problem.
But, when you change the SD card, you braek the warranty.
If you want to keep your warranty, you have only 1 choice : send your Phone to HTC.
Sorry.

There is no OTA update yet,
One reason it may not mwork via sues and pccompanion is that the update has not been released for your specific firmware yet. EDIT (Unlocked bootloader=no update via official methods)
The reason why you can only instal one version of the .195 ftf's via flashtool is strange though. I would suggest you redownload them and try again.
Thanks I will try to update again maybe bad files

My Problem again
Just format your internal and external memory if you have one, remove your SIM card and update using flashtool again.
Don't forget to backup first
You can't use PCC or SUS as you unlocked your bootloader.
Thanks I will try your solution now
Also I have gound another problem that youvfant move data for internal storage to external sd like other phones zd box wont see ext sd card just phones storage bulit in. Strange

Hi thanks for your reply. I am having problems with mame4all app moving the Roms from my 64gb sd card to the devices memory to work with this app.This is the only problem I have with the device memory I had no problems with my Xperia play as it found the extra memory and used it almost automatically without moving any files
Strange that the t cannot see the external memory sd card as part of the main memory maybe Sony will have to address this issue as I am duplicating files to get gaming Roms to work.
Thanks

Is the issue that you havent installed link2sd or something similar in order for the phone to see the data partition on the external memory
Hi
I have tried number of apps. Still can't get the device to see the 64gb sd card as a install location apart from its built inn memory
Maybe it is the sd card I don't know until a try another one 32gb instead
I after this messing around I think I may go back to my Xperia play as it is robust I like the Xperia t though I am in two minds after selling my htc one x for the Xperia t shame
Thanks guys
The specs for the phone say it does not recognise a 64 GB card, but some people who have formatted the card to ext4 have said it works

Xperia TX freezing & restarting after JB update

hi everyone....
my brother updated his xperia tx to jelly bean using flash tool before 3 hours... nothing showed in flashtool or the phone about any problem in flashing
in the last hour the phone started to restart & freeze
it's freezing suddenly & you cannot do anything but taking out the battery
can a factory data reset help?? also we have a backup on PC companion so is it recommended to return it on the phone??
Try repair option in PCC.

which one! I asked if you repaired or restored a backup.....
If you repair the phone it should be exactly like a factory shipped phone.
My only other thing to say will be have you got anything in your sd card (Both internal or external) that may be causing this? Any init.d scripts that reduce voltage etc...try deleting the contents of the sdcards and repairing again. (Obviously back anything up you want to keep)

i did repaired twice from PC companion and did once i think from the phone itself, and i don't have Scards its only the phone internal storge..
when i did it first in flash tool it didn't give me any error and then i did repaired it twice from pc companion however whats strange in ICS i never had the reboot problem
and if i remember correctly it only delete the programs etc, but the photos/music etc it never left the phone with both options i did...
so you suggesting to also wipe internal storage and repair to see if it reboot or not? i already have back up for all stuff so it won't hurt to try
thanks alot really for helping and sorry for my bad english ^^;
If you have a backup then try it.
Have you got a bootloop or do you have some reboots? What i mean is, does the phone actually boot up and only reboot occasionally or is it just bootlooping?

Does XZ kill SD Cards???

i got the impression that my XZ kills sd cards. does anybody else have that?
it first killed my 32gig sandisk ultra 2 months ago. i thought it was a coincidence and just put in my old 8 gig card(samsung) i had from my old desire hd. and then about a week ago, when i flashed beanstalk i encountered problems for the first time. rom is really laggy, recovery doesn't load, cant open developer options in config menu and so on.
when i click the "storage" button in confg menu, phone freezes. when i pull out the sd card it unfreezes and stops lagging...
without sd everything seems to be back to normal. whats with that????

urgent help needed please

i used cwm to wipe my phone but i did not flash it with rom instead i rebooted the phone & now it's stock on the Sony logo. please help this is not even my phone
i did try to use flashtool to flash stock tft but unknown sources & debugging must be enabled but the phone is stuck on the Sony logo so i can't even enable these settings. please if you can help then do,thanks very much
the phone's boot loader is locked by O2 & i had lollipop for LBL installed but it was getting very laggy so i tried to install another rom when i then messed up everything !!
1.Flashtool needs USB Debugging for Rooting ur Device, not Flashing
So don't worry about it, go for flashing
2.In Case u Wipe Entire Phone I.e.System, Data, Cache then the Phone won't skip the Boot Logo
According to me, the Recovery should b Accessible, So flash any ROM present in the Storage (if its urgent for u to have the phone working)
OR
Use Flashtool, it will help you recovering ur Phone
Go for the Flash tool method, read the Procedure Carefully
Good Luck

I assume that you have tried the RR (5.0.2) LBL Bug-Fixed by Skulltus, if not then give it a try since LBL Users are finding it somewhat stable...
Reasons why Phone wasn't getting detected can be:-
>Improper Downloading of File - Make sure you don't Pause and Resume the Downloads too many times, so that it becomes corrupt
>Wire-- Use a Sony USB Cable only or a Good one ( i use Samsung's Cable for the Timebeing) -- Improper wires can be a reason why the Phone can't get detected by The PC...
>Try Another USB Port to Connect the Phone if it doesn't get detected by one...
These things happened with me Many times, Just Sharing it

i have installed skultus bugfree 5.0.2 last night & it kept throwing a constant error (system UI crashed) i wasn't able to use the phone because this error when i hit ok it will comeback instantly so i thought it's not compatible,maybe i got the error because installation says ((1. Make you sure your device is LBL with .207 stock kernel, )) but my stock kernel is not 207 the firmware version ends with 205 , i have tried the sony companion to update but it said latest firmware is already installed. what do you think about this ?

i know about rooting & flashing roms in zip format via recovery but yes i'm new to installing roms & kernels via the flashtool & not a big fan of it either.
Hey, I'm in pretty much the same situation here, except I am having a few problems which are keeping me from going back to the stock firmware.
1) The phone keeps restarting when it's in flashmode - meaning it's sitting there for 30 seconds or so with flashmode and the green light, and then disconnects and turns back on into flashmode. This is keeping me from being able to flash anything because the device disconnects through the process.
(Yes, I did try reinstalling the programs, updating drivers, restarting computer, using a different usb port/cable etc)
2) I did manage to make it stay connected somehow last night BUT flashtool would give me errors involving .sin's of some kind. I could get past all this by flashing the stock firmware using "repair my phone/tablet" in Sony PC Companion, which I have done twice before so I can confirm it works - but for some bizarre reason the software started saying that there is no firmware available for my device!
Please help!
2->If you have already flashed A Firmware via Flashtool and u want to perform another,
then you have to RESTART it (the App) Otherwise it will show
Unable to Flash "System.sin" as you said
1-->I guess Flash Mode has A Time limit to get connected with the PC, if not then definitely its the wire Problem...Wires should be in good condition

ok i have big issue with this so called bugfree rom, i don't know how is this happening & i hope you will have an idea, when i install apps & games on the phone & then i reboot the phone for what ever reason half the apps & games will vanish from the phone !!! i also noticed that those games that vanished from the phone are installed on the SD card & the funny thing is when i look at the storage the SD card memory it remains the same size even after i have installed those games & apps on it !! for example i have 2.54gb of sd space remaining out of the 4gb card & when i finish installing the games & apps it remains 2.54gb & i can play the games it's only when i reboot the phone they no longer on the phone. what is happening here ?

I didn't try the LBL ROM since I Unlocked the Bootloader but still,
In All ROMs when I install an app from the SD Card, they get vanished on rebooting.... It reads the SD Card and the App Appears
I guess there's a "Move to Phone" Option in it, try doing that for those apps installed in SD Card
There should be an Option of-
"Preferred Install Location" either in
--Settings->Apps(Select the Menu)>Preferred Install Location
OR
--Settings->Storage->Preferred Install Location
Default Option can be "Let the System Decide"
Change it to Internal Storage

ok but this means all apps will be installed to the internal memory & one of the reasons why i wanted lollipop is the ability to install some apps to SD . i just need to fix this write to SD issue & i will be good to go.

Oh Yeah....
I guess App2SD Implementation is not working properly in 5.0.2 so you are facing the problem

do you mean i wont be able to use the SD to install apps !! i have installed an app to the internal memory & when i moved it to the SD card the settings says it's moved correctly but the SD card memory size still unchanged which means it didn't move correctly & if i try to start the app the phone will freeze & if i restart the phone the app will disappear !!
