I've been having issues with my G2. After updating to Gingerbread from Tmo, my newest files wouldn't show up on the phone.
I rooted my phone and tried using Cyanogen and Miui.us Roms but they've been deleting almost all my data off the SD Card and I can't recover them. Has anyone else had this problem or know of a solution.
I am really digging my newly rooted phone but losting my data constantly is driving me insane.
I've tried multiple SD Cards and they all lose their data eventually. I can't pinpoint if it's a certain app or just the phone itself.
Any help would be great. Cheers.
No one else is or has run into this problem?

Anyone out there having the same experience as me?
After unlocking and rooting my N1 I now get frequent, if not regular, soft reboots. It seems that it only when reading or writing a lot of data to or from the SD card (e.g. search the SD card for applications, a full data or app backup to the SD card, reading a large playlist off the SD card etc). It seems to be easy to reproduce and certainly didn't happen before unlocking/rooting.
Part way though an operation the screen will go dark and the phone will reboot from the static Nexus logo.
Am using himem. Allocation problems?
Any thoughts?
Wipe , format sd card. Start over with latest stable ROM.
Thanks, I'll try that.
Is this advice offered because it's a known problem or because it's just the default advice for random problems?
Ive never had any random reboots on mine (running cyan latest right now) I did with some roms on my G1, what rom are you using?
Stock...

Well, I don't know what to do at this point besides unrooting and taking it to sprint.
I had no problems with my SD card when running miui. I switched to cm7 and the rom was working just finw until the SD card was no longer read. The gallery/music app would no longer find anything on the SD card...and my SD card apps were gone. Yet, the phone was able to read the SD card with a file explorer. I first thought it was a rom problem...but it doesn't seem like it. I already wiped and reflashed several other roms and I'm still having the same SD card issues. I have already reformatted the card and started from scratch ..with no luck. I've also done the SD card fix by calkun with no solution. Additionally ..I've tried other SD cards and still not able to have a read/write on my phone
What could be the problem here and what's a possible fix? I'm desperate for help and I've tried researching to find a solution..but nothing seems to work.
I would gladly appreciate some help
if you tried other roms, other cards, formatting and such. check your card in a pc, if flawless then you got yourself a hardware malfunctioning evo
Yup no problems with reading/writing from a PC
Its weird. Something very similar happened to my brother and he was like that for weeks ...and it magically fixed itself someday.
And I don't see why it would be a malfunctioning evo when I had no problems and it happened all of a sudden without any physical damage.

Scan for errors on the card?
already did..and tried several sd cards
the problem is not the SD card(s) .. there's something wrong with the phone
Try wiping EVERYTHING twice and installing a ROOTED sprint ruu rom. This sometimes helps fix problems. I had a problem once with my vibrate function and had to do this to correct the problem. Worth a shot right?
ROOTED RUU
do you have a link to a most recent sprint ruu rooted rom?
edit: nvm you already included the link thanks
Update:
Stock Sprint Rooted RUU rom didn't fix it either
I don't know what to do at this point...
I have the same probelm with cm7. Once I started to use cm7 my SD card has been unable to read twice...to where I have to reformat the card in android.....the card is fine and reads fine in all Roms ....
I've already reformatted the card(s) in android as well..no luck.
I have no idea what the problem is..
Do you have tep? Try bringing it back to a Sprint store and see if they will replace it.
Check and blow some air on the microsd slot

I recently realized I've been using an old SIM card, and thought I might be on AT&T's EDGE network (instead of the 3G network). My wife's SIM card has a 3G SIM card, so I powered off her Aria and my X10 and put her card in my phone to test it.
The phone booted and I got a yellow ! notification that there was a problem with my Google account. I tried installing an app from Titanium to test the connection. The app wouldn't install.
I powered down and put my SIM card back in and booted. Since then, I cannot install or uninstall any apps from the market or from Astro in Wolfbreak's Cyanogenmod Froyo ROM (v054).
I restored in xrecovery to a few weeks ago, but the problem remains. I even put the SE ROM back on, did a factory reset, and did a fresh install of Wolfbreak's ROM, and it still won't install any app/apk.
I found a post which suggested stopping and wiping the market and its data, didn't fix it. Found a post which suggested deleting some folders from the SD card (LOST.DIR, Android, download and android_something), didn't work.
I CAN install apps fron the stock SE ROM.
Any help is appreciated.

inserting any new sim card to the x10 makes your google account to log off you have to log in over and over again I've done that and worked normally
you have to log in again to your google account.
Tested a different SIM card, now can't install apps or apks [SOLVED]
Thanks for your suggestions. While signing into my Google account didn't fix it, I did figure out the solution!
I had signed in to my Google account again, but I still couldn't install any apps. Also, and I meant to mention this before, all the apps on my SD card were "not installed" anymore.
So, I figured the SD card was the one constant among wiping and reinstalling the ROMs and restoring from backups before the switch. So, I restored my phone to an earlier state, and then DIDN'T boot, but took out the battery. I plugged my SD card into my laptop and deleted all the folders, except those I knew wouldn't have anything to do with the problem (e.g. music, DCIM, TitaniumBackup etc.).
When I plugged it back into my phone and booted, I could (un)install apps again! Of course, all the apps from my SD card were wiped, but God bless TitaniumBackup.
This also explains why the apps on the SD card didn't show up - probably the same bug preventing installation was preventing the phone from being able to use those apps. If anyone knows what SPECIFICALLY I could have deleted, instead of the massive wipe that I did, I'd love to know.
Hopefully this will help anyone who has this problem in the future.
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.

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.
So, I've got a weird problem. Anything moved to my SD within the phone OS is deleted (or super hidden, non accessible), pretty much instantly. If I copy something over from internal storage it will be gone very quickly, it just disappears, no errors, just gone. I have not done a factory restore and would like to avoid if possible, but if needed I can easily do it. It is rooted on 4.4.2, pretty much the only thing I have done to it using root capabilities is to enable external SD card access through apps other than My Files. I know something I did there could easily have messed this up but I am stumped. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
