I received the JI6 update today, and all went well with the installation, but for some reason my vibrant can't read my sd card or the phone storage. I never rooted it or put any lag fix or any hacking like that. Everything is stock, including the sd card. When I turn it on, it says "internal storage damaged", and then the message disappears shortly after. It also says "unable to mount external sd card" with a red triangle notification. When I press mount in the phone storage settings, it does nothing.
I have rebooted the phone many times, and nothing has worked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is my first post, so I am not sure if this is in the right "category". Thanks in advance.

SD Card
Mine did the same thing. I had to reformat my SD card which totally erased everything on it. (8gig) Good thing I had it backed up however I did lose some stuff. After reformating it you should be good to go.
The main problem is the internal sd card (16gb). I went to the tmobile store yesterday and all they could say was that I should try doing a factory reset. Is there any way I could get some files (pictures, etc) from the internal (16gb) sd card?

I have a MyTouch 4G rooted, with Ice Glacier 1.1.6 and I was trying to remove some files from my SD card and when i eject my phone, all the files i deleted appeared back onto the sd card. I tried everything to fix this problem. When i tried to format the card using a card reader, i get an error saying format wasnt able to be complete. i tried error checking as well. i am not able to add files to the sd card too. does anybody know what is going on??
thanks!
Try formatting it thru the phone.
Settings -> Storage -> Format SD Cards
just tried that, did not work. after i click format, the sd card would get mounted again and everything is still on the sd card..
this is what i have noticed, i can delete files using astro and it will stay off until i unmount it and mount it again. thats when the files appear back on the sd card.
Hmm... can you open the files on your PC?
yeah i can open files on my PC. this is weird. when i take pics, itll save onto the sd card but will be gone when i unmount or connect my phone to the computer so i can see the files on the sd card
I've heard of this once before. Solution was to put the sd card into an adapter and format with a camera.
format with a camera? meaning to plug this sd card in a digital camera and plug the camera into the pc then format?
No, format through the cameras menu options.
whenever i tried to turn on my camera with this messed up sd card in there, the camera doesnt even want to boot up....any other suggestions??
Sorry, thats all I got.
Sounds like a bad disk. Run a CHKDSK /f from your pc.

chkdsk didnt work. at the end of the process, it says "disk error occurred during the writing of the file allocation" ??
It appears you need to go shopping. However, the SD card should be replaceable under warranty, unless our warranties specifically exclude the card. Call your local T-Mobile dealer and see if they'll replace it.
Yeah I think its time for a larger memory card anyway. So all I have to do is copy everything from my old memory card onto the new one that I will get then stick it in my phone right?

Good morning,
I recently tried to upgrade to a kingston class 4 32gb card in my evo running cm7. I have tried everything to make it work. Under storage settings, it will read the card on boot up and I can see the files in file manager. If I try to input and remount it says unsupported file system. Sometimes in the camera it says failed to access sd card. Can anyone help?

did you format the card with your phone or pc(sometimes when you do it with pc you accidentally do a quickformat, which most of the times gives problems(format fat32))
I gave reformatted in the computer and in the phone and nothing works. I can add files on the computer but after some time in the phone I can't do anything related to the sd card.i also ram as chkdsk

This is the 2nd time this week this has happened. Turned my phone on this morning, shows preparing sd card but yet none of the apps I have moved to the sd card will work. They don't show on the app drawer either. The first time it happened I figured it was a fluke so I copied everything from the sd card I was using to another card, and same thing...apps don't show.
So then I reformat the card, reflash the stock image and everything was fine until today. Wtf could be causing this? I am able to access the card thru root explorer no problem. Running rooted stock rom

Just a quick question but have you used up the internal memory in order to move them to the SD card? Apps run slower from the SD card then they do from the phone. I have tons of apps but coming nowhere remotely close to have to move them to the SD card.

Hello!
I really need help.
I have stock EG22 rom and 32gb SD card. Everything was ok but suddenly I can't mount SD card. If I'm loading into Nandroid everything from SD card available. But if I'm booting the system nothing available and "MyFiles" app says your SD card not inserted.
Few times tried to change the Rom and cleaned data. Nothing helps.
Phone is rooted
Please, I need help, advice, etc? Help me, please?
Suggestions
For me, anytime I have an issue with my SD card, I take it out and clean the connections. Retry.
If still no dice, I backup everything to my PC and format the card. Then I move back critical folders/files, insert the card and try again. (This usually is the fix.)
If still no luck, then if you still have the SD card that came with the phone, try that one.
Could always try reflashing the rom again without wiping data.
Did you have this problem on Froyo?
Didn't have this problem on Froyo and I think I'll try to odin EC05 rom.
Thanks
I have the same problem on the SUPERNOVA ROM,Weird! My friends don't have this problem on their epics with supernova. is it a bad download??
It could be a sign that the SD card needs reformatting. This has fixed issues for many. Doesn't hurt to try. Backup all data on sd card to a computer then reformat sd card in the phone...this is important for best compatibility. Then restore your data.

Most likely a rom issue but I do have to say that the EPIC 4G can and will kill and SD card. They have problems getting hot, especially if you use the LED flashlight app and leave it on for awhile, the metal harness around the microSD gets really hot and bricks the sd card. My epic 4g ruined my 8GB card as well as another 4GB card due to this. My 4GB card will not mount, will not format, not even in a computer so It is toast I assume and my 8GB card just doesnt get found.
It also seems to be very finicky with the 32 MB cards. So def reformat. Also Gingerbread leaks seem to access it slightly differently than Froyo ROMs. So problems show up in GB that don't in froyo.
You were right. I've reformatted the card and right now it is working. Actually, it didn't matter it was a Froyo Or Gingerbread.
After reformatting everything works just fine.
And I did reformatted it on my computer, because my phone was not doing it.
Thank you very much!

OK, I got everything set up and it boots within 30 sec with my Gingerbread based MROM. But, I do not know why it can not show how much space my SD card (not the external one) has in the setting and it says that the SD card is unmounted. And for the camera, when I open it, it says that I have to put a SD card in order to use it (I assume that it refers to the external one), but my external SD card is already in my phone. Also, in the music app, when I open it, it says that my SD card is busy, which one it refers to? However, in the file manager, I still can able to see everything inside my external SD card while it says the SD card (not the external one) is empty. Really confusing... Can you guys explain all these?
I was the one who helped him finally get a rom to boot after he tried to unlock the bootloader. He got the famous failed to boot no os error and I believe he may have unplugged the phone and somehow messed up drivers. Anyway, finally after going thru steps in the unlock files, he was able to flash twrp, then cm7 mrom. However, I have no idea why the internal memory is not being detected. :what:
Thanks for encouraging!

OK, miracle comes and I just mounted it! I just simply unmount the SD and remount it and that is it! Sometime we just overcomplicated the situation.
