SD card not mounting - Xperia Play General

I was playing Let's Golf 2 yesterday, and I ended it improperly by pushing the Home button. Since I rebooted from that incident, the SD card is not mounting anymore, and the system is telling me that it is damaged or its filesystem is not accepted. Since it's the very same stock card which comes with the phone and has worked properly since it came (and of course works in other phones and computers), I am quite puzzled. Any other card I mount receives the same treatment, so it's something on the phone. I have my bootloaders unlocked and I have flashed the 2.3.3 rooted version per Flashtool and Fastboot.
I guess it's time for reflashing, or do you folks have any idea I could use?

I had a similar problem. Turned out my SD card was cracked. This brings me to my problem. After loosing my SD card Crash won’t run anymore. Does anyone know how I can restore it? I really liked that game.
Edit: Never mind. I opened it again and now it gives me an option to download the game again. I need to do it over wifi when I get home.

sd card not found, only asking to format now

i was just trying out andftp (unsure if this was the reason, but it was the last thing i did) off the marketplace and couldnt get it to stay connected. decided to end that and reboot, phone started back up saying sd card not found and the notice asks me to "format cancel"
just put the sdcard in my pc and its showing everything on the card so i'm backing it up. have been using it no problem for the past 20days so its not the format of the card or anything. once i'm done backing up i figure i'll reformat the card and see how that goes but couldnt find anything searching the forums. anyone had this problem or possibly why it started doing this after a restart of the phone?

I had this issue when I had my CLIQ. This was the beginning of my SD card dying. I hope its not what yours is doing, but just was similar to what happened to mine before it died on me all together.
i just got it roughly 20 days ago, hope its not
I've had a similar problem with my SD card. I could read the files just fine on a pc - albeit a manuell fsck found errors which could not be corrected even after several passes.
After reformating the card it now works fine again. This happend about two weeks ago.
after backup and reformat it still wouldnt read in phone, tried putting files back on also. finally booted phone up without a sdcard in, rebooted with it in and it recognized it. stock, not rooted, hopefully doesn't happen again

SD card mounting in read only...

Hi, I have only had my DHD for a few weeks, it is stock and not rooted, earlier, for reasons best known to itself it displayed a notification stating that the SD card seas mounted read-only... last thing I installed was kindle, unwashed told there were updates available for some apps, when I came back to the phone... I got the happy message...
I am sure I vs resolve the issue with a format etc but it would be good to know what has happened...vi am a join to Droid but loving it so far...
Thanks
I've had this before, it wouldn't go away until I formatted the card. Hasn't come back since.
Just as an update, i copied all the files from the SD card to my laptop except kindle.. it was trashed... there is the problem...
formatted and dumped everything back and all is good

Microsd's get corrupted in my Vibrant

Th weirdest thing happening on my Vibrant with Eugene R2 rom.
When I put a microSD in the slot, it can not use it past 2.19 gb (like if it was a corrupted card), but when I use the same card in my TP2 or in the SD card reader of my laptop, everything is fine. I first noticed this when I was copying over all my files and I kept getting the same errors I have had with fake cards in the past, so I tried my old faithful 8gb and sure enough, when I plug my vibrant as a USB drive, I can not navigate most folders and runing the checkdisk gives me hundreds of corruption errors. When I try to format, it tells me the max is 2.19 gb. When I take the same card (which had always been fine) and put it in the sd card reader, everything is back to normal, including attempting to format (it gives the proper size). My vibrant is doing this with all cards I have tried up till now.
Any clues?
Thanks
Did you ever run an older ULF kernel at some point? Are you running one now?
I had similar issues with both my SD card *and* the internal SD, which was causing all sorts of random system glitchiness. In my case, I suspected that this was due to the problems in early ULF kernels that caused filesystem corruption. I ended up using Heimdall (you'd use Odin if you're on Windows) to restore an official Samsung firmware, then I reformatted both SD cards, and from then on everything was fine.
There's probably a less drastic approach to be taken, but restoring to stock from Odin/Heimdall is a pretty surefire way to get rid of all the gremlins.
Incidentally, it was at that point that I decided to stop flashing anything except official or leaked Samsung ROMs until CM gets released. The price for being an early adopter is just too high
I am not sure what ULF kernels are, but all I have had is stock, then Eugene, then I did a restore to my stock backup (that screwed thigns up) so I reflashed eugene. I don't know how to use odin\can't figure out what files i should use.

Julie, I had this same problem with both this ROM, and my proceeding one, ASOPish; as have many, many others!
I too have been wanting a fix, but have not come across one. Because I am able install data onto my micro sd card via the adapter this is what I have resigned to doing. There was a mounting fix posted last month some time, but it didn't work for me, though others state that it did for them.
Sorry I couldn't give you a more workable solution, but at least, for me, this way does work.
FYI I had this problem until nero V3
Eat at Joe's
Having micro sd issues also. I tried moving some music and pics from the internal sd. It put the names but 0 data. I erase them and they come back. I reformatted the 8gb card it said 8gb free. I go back to the gallery or music player and they are all back. Check the sd with a file manager and thete they are.

hum... anyone else with this problem fix it by using nero v3?
This is happening on all 2.2 roms.
One issue was fixed, where the internal and external cards were being read opposite to what there were ..., but the issue of reading external sd above 2gigs is still there ...
If I remember correctly, this was the issue when 2.2 was released for the N1 .... they forgot to re-add support for sdhc cards... that's why they pushed 2.2.1.......

Sammy 16gb SD Card issues

I have been running stock rooted EB13 since day one with very little issue. I'm guessing this is not an issue of the OS but I don't know. Yesterday I was trying to download an MP3 and it kept saying there was an error writing the file. I messed around for a bit, found I couldn't save anything to my card from any program, and finally decided to reset my device. I did a TiBU and reset it. When I restored my apps they were from about a week ago and not the current data. I pulled my SD card and put it in my card reader only to find out that it is write protected. And no it's not the adapter, I tried more than one and the switch never moves when I plug it in. I have tried the Panasonic format, the newer SD format program, windows format, epic format both in recovery and in the settings. No go. Any ideas? Is it this a fluke or has anyone else on EB13 had this problem?
Thanks

galaxy S4 microsd card problem

Hello
I have SanDisk 64gb microsd. I have not done anything to the phone and now periodically the phone stops reading the 64gb card .It does not say unmounted just when I check gallery the photos are not there and I have to restart the phone.
I have a rooted 4.3 ROM..The only thing I can think of is ES file explorer potentially caused issues. I noticed things acting weird after I used it when I do heavily.
Please help. Any and all advice welcome. Thanks
Tried to re flash a nandroid still issues. I noticed in general my touchwiz is running so slow. I flashed sacs red theme about a month ago. Not sure if that had anything to do with it. Should not have.
It will reread it when I remount it or reboot. Not sure specifically what is causing it though.

Have you tried searching the forums for sdcard fix? Google it? There have been issues with 4.4 and sdcard reading issues. Also downloading foldermount from the playstore has helped others with issues. If all else fails reinstall rom.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Free mobile app
I searched on Google and there is not really a concise answer as to why this happens. It is a very ambigious issue, however; it seems to be a reoccuring issue with SanDisk cards and 4.4 KitKat ROMs.
What I did was completely flush out and re-installed both custom recovery and my ROM to 4.2.2
It is disappointing because I really like my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone and you'd think upgrades mean better quality product when it has not. 4.4 KitKat ROM is not that good. I don't like both CM and TW versions of KK. One feature I do not like with TW KitKat is the inability to hide icons. There are also issues with battery drain and free hotspot mod.
I don't know what is going on. When I plug my phone into the computer I can access the SD card. When I check the phone it is not reading the SD card. Don't know what the problem is.
Have you tried a different SD card? That would help you determine if it is specific to the card or potentially a phone issue.
What I will do is try and format the SD card with the phone, then put everything back on. So far, I have isolated it to ESFile explorer. Initially I did not update the apk and thought that would work. It did not.
Here's what has happened:
I use ESFile explorer to access the SD card. Then when I went into clockworkmod, I tried to delete a nandroid copy I made. It says 'failed to delete'.
Then the ROM and sdCard do not work correctly anymore, so I have to wipe and re-flash an old nandroid.
Makes me wonder if something is corrupted in the SD Card. Everything used to work fine, but now whenever I access the SD Card with ESFile explorer, even the old version of it, it causes issue.
There is a problem with some Sandisk SD cards. Evidently there was a bad batch. I had some of the same issues. My card was bad. I went to Sandisk's website and they replaced it for free. I was without my card for a week but I got a new one and everything seems to be working fine now.
Can you explain how you did this ? So an update on my situation. I can read the sd card but it will not format and nothing can be written to the card. I tried using recovery and touchwiz to format and it fails.
Can access what is on there but cannot write or format anymore. Any ideas ? At this point I swapped to a new SanDisk card I had lying around. Don't know what to do with the old card

I assume you are asking me how I got my card replaced. I did some research and found the issue mentioned here on XDA as well as on the internet. I went to Sandisk's website, http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/list/kw/microsd microsdhc/, and did some more research. I finally contacted their customer service and they told me the process for getting the replacement shipped. If I were you I would just contact their customer service on their website and let them run you through the process.
