First I want to thank dzo for his amazing work. Thanks to him, we now have an almost fully functional ICS port!
Now, to get to the point... I upgraded from dzo's v.1.1 to v1.2 ICS yesterday. The ROM is very nice and smooth, and it seems like everything is functioning like it should. BUT, after my first reboot after flashing v1.2, I got the message about corrupt sdcard. So I rebooted into recovery, then rebooted to recovery through recovery again P), and then rebooted normal. The message was still there, so I unplugged the sdcard from my phone and plugged it into my computer through a cardreader. The PC said I had to format it before use, so that's what I tried.. the format-window hung up, and stood still on 0% for about an hour. I got kinda bored of waiting and unplugged the sdcard, then put it back into my phone. Now my phone says something like: "blank sdcard or has an unsupported filesystem etc.). I've tried several sdcard formatting programs, but nothing seems to work :S Now my PC doesn't even recognize my sdcard as an sdcard anymore, but as an empty disk or something.
The worst part is that I actually bought my sdcard yesterday, the same day as got corrupted/blank..
any tips would be appreciated!
edit: My sdcard is a SanDisk Class 4 16GB
Hi,
I have the same sdcard and in most cases my U8800 Pro does not mount correctly this microsd. I don't know if this is a kernel problem or a rom problem.
Anyway I advice you to format your sdcard with a specific format-tool, please download it here:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/sdfmt3_1.zip
This is a free software developed by Panasonic (if I'm not wrong).
This tool helped me with my sdcard BUT I have to say that Huawei U8800 is a little buggy for the sdcard mount.

Thanks for your reply! Actually I have allready tried ths program. I installed, and opened it. Then I connected the sdcard to the PC, but the program said it couldn't recognize it... So just to be sure it wasn't the program, I tried to connect another sdcard, and that one was recognized. Weird stuff...
Maybe the card is just broken?
This happened to me too. There is nothing you can do, the sd card is broken. Reformatting is impossible, since no reader will recognize the card. You'll just have to buy a new card or get it replaced via warranty.
I have the exact same problem olfyboy, I think the card is ruined
That sucks! :/
well.. time to use my good old 2gb then..
hello guys
plug you sd card in your mobile go in recovery and check did it show your sd card there if not go in advance option reboot in recovery again...
i hope this time you see your sd card
if it this method not work then put ur sd card in some Symbian phone (Nokia, sony ericsson) in symbian phone you are able to format
i hope this method work for you best of luck
maybe a software named Usboot can help you.
Pls try aurora 1.4. Dzo solved sdcard problem
Thanks for your replies guys!
Sadly I think my sdcard is completely broken. No device is able to recognize it, and those who can, says that it's completely blank or does not have a supported file-system.

From those devices that recognize it, can you format it? Put some files on it?

No..
Those who can recognize it, and says that it needs to be formatted, doesn't do anything when I click format.
And, no, I can't put any files on it.

I'm still in the same position too, I've tried all the suggestions here.
I can read files but can't write or format.
Read speed is VERY slow (a few bytes per second)
I can't even read my files. I tried my sdcard with 2 different pcs. And none of them recognize it. I think its ruined.
Any news? Is there anyone with solution? :/

No.. our sdcards are probably completely broken. Nothing to do with it :/ The only thing you can do about it, is really just to buy a new one.
I, myself, have ended up using an old 2gb sdcard..
I don't get why is happens or why it only happens to us. Any ideas what caused it? I don't care sd-card but I really want my images back in that card. =)
Maybe I can help you

what is the OS on your PC?
maybe I can help you. first of all you have to install a recovery software on your PC ( I prefer "Recover My Files") and extract your photos from SD to your PC.
then if you ask me I will tell you how to format your SD and use it again.
Idk is it a same situation but 2 weeks ago my sd went broke. Ics was showing its empty which i was sure it wasnt. First i tried it with my old phone but no luck. I can connect it to my comp (both win and ubuntu) via sd card reader and no luck. Then i tried fix permissions in cwm and then it recognized, all my old files were there.
I know it doesnt make any sense but if you guys didnt try this just give it a luck.
G luck.

I think you misunderstood the situation. My phone or my pc doesn't recognize the sdcard. Thy not see ant disk when I attach it. I know what your meaning but the problem bigger than this.

What do you mean by mixed content?
http://yfrog.com/2tmixedcontentj that is what I mean.
Can u display the content of your card on your phone? if yes, I would suggest to connect the phone to usb (don't mount the sd card to pc), start adb and pull every content to your hdd (adb pull /sdcard/* YOURBACKUPLOCATION). Then reformat the sd card (format device J: via Windows) to FAT32...this should do it
EDIT: I did it, but when I pull it says : 0files pulled. 0 files skinned.
It's probably corrupt.
Try on a newer version of Windows (I see you're using Win 2000! Unless it's a skin).
Can you see them in Astro?
And have you done anything to your SDcard recently? like tried to make a Goldcard?
Also try accessing the SD card without going through phone (even if I don't think it's the problem, but better try everything before formatting). You can do this in many ways, e.g some computers (especially laptops) and printers have built in SDcard readers, or you could use a camera or Micro SD to USB adapter (like this one or this one).
I made my goldcard when I rooted the phone. It's a skin, it's XP actually No I didn't do anything to it. But do I really need to adb pull? 'cause I can replace what's on it(music bla bla).
well I'll format it, because I'd rather do this than spend money
edit: hmm strange, if I click on properties it shows me exactly the memory on it, it's 1.12 gb free.
well actually now it's in scaning for errors xD, hmmm no problem found. Ok FORMATTING NOW.
YEY FORMAT WORKEDThank you, although I would have done this too xDD

I need your help to do with the phone, which i broke a little i think..
The thing is when try out custom rooms, everything ok, but did not like anything in the custom rooms so i put back original soft ..
I used the backup, as well as the use Seuss .. To do this all the old way, but there is only one problem, when i connect my phone to pc, it doesnt mount sd card.. or someting is just black...
When you make phone present at the computer, he dont mount USB MASS storige device ... In other words, do not show when I have a Mirco SD CARD added ...
Phone in itself recognizes card and read out there on the files in ... Putting Mirco SD card in the ordinary SD apdapter computers read everything okey ... Putting it in another phone the same X8 also read .. Something is wrong with the phone .. and i dont know how to fix it ... I try 100x times new updates .. nothing does not help .. But imposing version of 1.6 everything goes and works ... but again that has just under 2.1 Where is my usb dont mounts ...
Maybe someone is exposed it when doest mount usb ...
Google found a solution, but it is only 2.3 version of the original fighting android Rom, or as they are called ..
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
Perhaps there is some way to get this worked on my phone ..
Phone: Sony Ericsson X8 e15i
OS: 2.1
may i suggest a few tests?
1. try connecting the phone to a different USB port, preferably at the back of the pc. dont connect it to a usb hub
2. If you had previously made ext partitions to use the app2sd native faeature, then delete all partitions from sd and reformat fat32. even if u havent made any partitions i suggest u reformat the SD
3. change usb cable, i have seen it before.
Are u using the original 2GB SD card, or another one bigger capacity?
I assume that u have flashed with SEUS the stock ROM 2.1 and have again tried.
This might not be a phone or ROM problem but maybe PC problem....
I agree gxaris, it look like it's problem with pc.
Did You tried to reinstall PCcompanion (it could be just driver problem).
I have the same problem a long time ago. I think there's something wrong with the phone. I've tried my cousin's X8, my PC can detect and mounts his SD Card. so I think the problem is not PC, its the phone itself. tbh I do nothing with it. Taking out SD card and put it in card reader doesn't kill me, I can live with that.
Sorry for not giving help, but I've tried many times to fix it, but no luck man.

Re
Write which os do you use than we can continue....
I experimented this when i has a 190mb partition system, now that my partition system is 200mb i've installed again and it recognized my sd card without 'cmd mounting', can be that 200 or 210mb partition system or more is best for a fully working. Can you try it..
Re Nope
Well maybe, but i don't think that's problem....????maybe something with mountpoint.....
ok i don't know if it's a mount problem i've got here as i'm a noob i don't know where to start with that! let me tell you my problem in more detail....
i'm running win7 ultimate sp1 os on my laptop, i have the gt540 installed with ics beta 4 with wifi fix and app fix too, wifi works after wifi fix is installed by recovery, market works too, now when i plug the usb cable into my phone i get the sounds that it is recognized by my laptop and i get usb mass storage disabled so click on the android and it says now enabled but no sound happens from my laptop to say it's recognized it and in "My Computer" there is no storage appearing that's problem 1! problem 2 is that my sd card (which worked perfectly well in Swiftdroid)
is now saying "Blank SD card" also "SD card is blank or has unsupported file system" when i click on the message it then prompts me to "Format SD card" which i don't want to do! are these two problems linked? if so what is the best way to rectify it? please keep it simple and explain fully as much as you can! thank you in advance!
I've just backed up my sd card to my laptop and formatted it using "SD Formatter" as the inbuilt formatter on ICS doesn't work for me, i also did a native swap using bs828 tutorial using his recommended settings for it in hope that this would work! but i'm still getting no recognition in "My Computer" and it's saying "blank sd card" still!!!! i'm at a loss i know the card is ok because i've gone back to swiftdroid thru a nandroid back up in recovery several times and that works!

I tried my SD Card on my wife's SM-N900 ( same as mine ) and it work well. Nothing happened. Is there any solution to this? Please help me solve this issue. Thank you for your time. /;

It might be a hardware problem specific to your phone - a bad contact or something similar. Test with 2-3 different micro-SD cards that all are (recently) tested and working fine in other phones.

HI,
I went http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2684384 on this thread but it wont work for me... I have xperia S with AOSP rom (Lolipop) so please can you help me out?
Thanx in Advance!
same problem on intex but can help a little!
I am stuck in same problem when i was massing arround with adding users on my intex aqua power ... i accidently unmounted my internal storage i cant even see my sdcard ... BUt I have terminal emmulator installed on my phone and i can navigate arround my memory card and internal storage /// I took my back up of my memory card in my PC then i copied all the folders from internal storage to sd card and again took backup of it!! It worked for me ... I did get my files back But still coude't mount my sd card or internal storage!!!
I have a very specific problem that I have been trying to solve.
I have a Galaxy Note 4.
For the past few days, my phone has not been able to read the SD card and is stuck on "Preparing SD Card"
Here are the facts I have come up with:
- My phone will not read any SD card and will continuously stay at "Preparing SD card" no matter how long any card is in the phone
- The current SD card can be read in others phones and my computer.
This leads me to believe the SD card is not corrupted and that the files may still be able to be accessed. The other info I have found from forums tells me the best way to get the phone to read an SD card again is to reset it, but I don't want to do that.
Try to use app name [ SD insight ] from the market, it can read the manufacturing of SD and all the information! But still cant browsing the file.
I would be so appreciative of any suggestions.
Thank you for any help you can provide!

Actually rooting your device should cause such a problem. Unless you delete the drivers for the microSDCard reader on your device. I'd recommend reinstalling the stock firmware onto your device to see if that will fix your problem. But don't root it this time around.

If you are getting those errors then there is a possibility that the rooting process messed up the OS and the device drivers on your device. Reinstalling the stock firmware back onto it should solve your problems.

After re-install the stock firmare every thing return to work fine, SD card and also flash USB. it seem that driver to read external storage was delete by BusyBox or anther root app.
