My phone says sd card removed

It happened yesterday when I upgraded to xrom. I have formatted and repartitioned my sd card. Nothing is working. When I connect my sd card to my computer I noticed a lot of weird files were being stored on it. They reappear every time I delete them.
My phone is creating files like this "qxdm_20090910_184004_3.dm" (32 megs!)

hmm....very interesting... reboot into recovery and repair the ext files? it might work. most likely not, but its worth a shot.

I though about trying that but I don't have cyanogens recovery .

Mine just did the "sd card has been removed" thing half an hour ago.
I just copied a new theme .zip to my sdcard and then rebooted into recovery.
I could not apply the update since it could not mount the mmcblk0p1 partition. When boot all the way up to android i get the icon saying that the sdcard has been removed.
i just did an adb push of a file to my /sdcard from the recovery console and it returned no errors...but i cannot see any files on the card.
wtf.
Any ideas?

Yeah my problems still not fixed. I have searched the XDA, forums, Google, none have offered any solution. I have found a lot of people with this same problem.

are you using swapper? if you dont turn it off, this could happen.
i would recommend getting cyans recovery image, it has a lot of tools to debug.
get a live cd of linux/gparted and see if you can see all your partitions. if not, your sd card is most likely dead. try reformatting. if that doesnt help, you may need to get a new card.
if it does show up on your pc, but doesnt work on your phone, then post here again

Have the same problem. Got it right after updating cyanogenmod 4.1.2 I've also been looking for answers and I think I'm just gonna get a new one

I have never used swap. I tried installing cyans recovery image through terminal but it can't find my sd card. I can still update my rom through jfs utility. My sd card works perfectly fine on my computer.

Something like this happened to me a while ago. It first said Sdcard was damaged and i couldnt access it via any file manager. I rebooted and turned out all my apps went up in the air and dissapeared and my fat32 partition was gone to. i reccomend backing up your sdcard and reformatting your card then go froom there

I have already tried all that. Nothing so far has worked :-(. Man this is horrible. I can't even take pictures!

[Q] External SD Card disappeared

Could use a little help please, after full wipe and flashing the new TEAMBAKED rom, I have lost access to my external SD Card, however when I boot into recovery it is there and all contents are still on it.
Plugging into the computer opens the Note with only internal storage. Like it doesn't see my external card anymore. Prior to this flash, I have never had issues before. So I restored my last Nandroid backup, but the problem still exists.
I have googled plenty, and tried fixing permissions, but to no avail.
Removing the SD Card and plugging directly into the PC it shows up straight away, so it seems not an issue with the card.
I am at a loss, any suggestions please?

Well my last gasp attempt fixed the problem, I flashed Philz latest kernel then a stock rom, after wiping everything and now I magically have access to the sd card again. So I am not sure if it is a CM 10.1 bug (been on CM for best part of 6 months) as I haven't seen it before, but the stock fixed it. Now to reflash back to CM.
Hope that helps someone if they have the same issue I had.

SD Card Will Not Mount

I have tried flashing several ROMs over the past few days. However, for some reason the SD card is no longer recognised. When i go to Settings/Storage "SD Card" is just greyed out and clicking "Mount SD Card" doesn't do anything... it can see the SD Card has 7.56GB of total space, but it doesn't appear to be usable.
As a result of the system not recognising the SD card, i cannot use the Camera or apps like Evernote, which insist on having an SD card present to launch.
I have tried:
- Flashing and reflashing different ROMs (SuperNexus, Slimbean, etc)
- Changing SD Card
- wiping cache, data, system, and reflashing
- Downloading mount apps from the Play store
Nothing works...
Would really appreciate help in fixing this.
Many thanks!

emmc brick i believe. this happened to me as well. the only fix is to have it serviced by samsung. try to see if you can download and run the emmc brick bug from the playstore.

Try to install a stock Rom (GB or JB, doesn't matter) with PC Odin.
This will give you a clearly defined state.
If you get error messages when installing PC Odin please post them here - then we can analyze it (and get hints if there's a chance you bricked your device).
If the installation is completed without problems and rebooting into the OS check your sd card again.

i think hes not talking about the internal storage.. infact the ext SD.. first flash a stock rom... then mount the SD card.. check if all works fine. if yes then move to CM rom.. this usually fixes the problem

i think u need to get another sdcard n check it out ！
don't use the same brand...

Thanks all for your feedback (man i love this forum!)
I ran the eMMC Brickbug Check and everything came back fine
I'm going to install a stock ROM using PC Odin and see where that takes me...
Will report back soon.

Quick update:
I installed a stock ROM using PC Odin, as suggested, and happily my SD card and internal memory showed up just fine. I then reflashed CWM and installed Supernexus 2.0 and everything has worked fine ever since. Thanks again for all your help!!!

Glad to hear it.

I have a similar issue.
Ever since this one morning when I turned my phone on (it was shut down) it won't read the internal sd card on my phone. I have tried restarting but it still doesn't work. When I open music it says 'SD card not mounted' and when I open photos it says 'Storage Space Full' and it closes the app. However, my storage is nowhere near full and this has never happened up until now. PLEASE HELP

Stock ROM & Cyanogenmod lost/cannot read the SD card

I've had 64 Gb SD card in my Droid 4 and it has worked quite well.
Then I installed CM12 to my phone and after that neither the stock ROM nor CM11/12 cannot find the aforementioned SD card anymore.
I've wiped both ROMs off and replaced them with my stock & CM11 backups. Doesn't work.
But the strangest thing is that Safestrap's File Manager can find that SD card and I can use it there just well (flash & copy files for example).
So what gives and how to get rid of that? Should I wipe my phone totally blank and start from the scratch again???
Any help is highly appreciated! Thanks a lot in advance everybody involved.

SD card likely has some corrupt files or file system, may need reformatting

OK, thanks!
Forgot to mention that if I place the same SD card to my Samsung Galaxy tablet, to my Android TV box or to my computer, it works without any problems. So that's strange indeed.

CM 12.1 - SD Card Suddenly Not Mounting

tl;dr - After installing CM 12.1 Stable on my XT1072 (UK Retail), everything worked fine. Suddenly, the SD card just disappeared and refused to mount or erase, but the card shows up on my PC and TWRP. Was thinking that reverting to stock firmware could fix it but couldn't find the ROM. If you have the stock ROM, please send! Other than that, any other solutions?
Hi everyone,
This is my first post here, and after searching around, I can't find any solutions for my problem. So, here it is:
Through TWRP 3.0.0.0, I installed the most recent stable version of CM 12.1 (Lollipop 5.1.1) after bad experiences of CM 13 nightlies. Everything was working fine and I started reinstalling my core apps. Once I installed my main daily apps (and no games), I started copying my music collection from my PC to my 16GB Kingston SD-HC card. Everything was going well, then suddenly, when I unlocked my phone, the SD card was just gone. I checked Solid File Explorer Pro (what I use) and it only showed 'root' and 'internal storage'. My music app said my collection was empty. When checking the Storage section of settings, it only showed my internal storage. Under that, there was an option to mount my SD card or erase it. When I tap mount, it flashes with my SD card's information for a second but then disappears. When trying to erase the SD card, it says that the card is being checked although nothing actually happens.
I searched up multiple forums which didn't help, so I figured maybe it's just the ROM. I tried to find the stock firmware (5.0.2) for my phone but couldn't find it. If anyone has it, maybe reverting to stock will help? Anyway, as I couldn't find the stock firmware, I decided to carry on with CM 12.1 for the moment.
I rebooted multiple times and nothing worked. Then, I booted up without the SD card inserted. Then, when inserted, it said it was checking the card for errors. It did this for around ten seconds, but still, it showed up as mounted for a split second before going again. I went to TWRP and the SD card was mounted and working, but when booted up, my phone refused to mount the SD card.
This led me onto searching how to manually mount the SD card but all of that made no sense to me (this is my second time flashing a ROM) and I kind of gave up there. And here I am! What do I do? Please someone help! Thanks even for reading, though.
Have a great day! (Hopefully with a fully-functional phone )

I have ret.eu and no issues using cm 13
