Hello Everyone,
I have been long time visitor of this forum but this is my first post here so please bare with me.
I have Wicked Rom V4 flashed in my phone. I am having strange issue.
After I flashed this rom I was able to browse both Phone and SD card using Windows Explorer. But at some point my SD card got corrupted and I replaced it with new SD card and now I can't browse Phone or SD card using Windows Explorer.
I can charge my phone using usb cable but I can't browse anything in phone. I tried to check it on more than one computers but result is same. I would think that may be when my old card got corrupted something happened to OS but I am not sure if it is even possible.
I can reflash rom to see if that helps but I want to keep it as a last resort.
Any suggestion is really appreciated.

It sounds like there is something on your device somewhere that is causing an issue. I would make a backup and try reflashing your ROM to see if the error persists. Have you tried taking the SD card out altogether, connecting your device to your PC and try browsing then?
Is USB debugging checked or unchecked in Developer Options?

Finally a reply ... :victory:
Yes, I have tried to remove SD card.. then plug in USB but still no go.
And usb debugging is enabled too (I already tried to disable/enable debugging too).
I can reflash but just hoping to solve this issue without it.

Well it sounds like whatever occurred with your original SD card has created further issues for you and embedded something somewhere. I understand that's vague but I don't know much more.
Perhaps try reformatting your SD card to exFat, inserting it into the phone, hard reboot your device, plug it in and give that a try. Silly question, have you used the cable that comes with the S4 other just other Micro USB cables?

Yup me too concluded same thing. And just because of that I was wondering if there is anything can be done using ADB interface so I can avoid reflashing rom.
And yes, I am using original Micro USB cable (I also have tried with Micro USB cable of my Galaxy Nexus too)
I think I will just reflash rom and cross my fingers :fingers-crossed: ... I will update results here

Good luck, let me know!
EDIT: Before you do that, give me your details: are you using an SGH-1337 or a different model? (We're in that section but people get confused), and you said you have Wicked ROM v4. Do you have a backup with TWRP or Titanium or anything?

Sorry for delayed response.
Yes I am using Galaxy S4 for ATT (SGH-1337).. with Tmobile sim and Yes before flashing new rom I had taken backup of original system using CWM.
And just last night I finally pulled the trigger and voila... I can browse my phone and sd card from Windows Explorer !! :victory:
That was really weird issue

Glad you got it fixed.

It's the second time this has happened. I'm not sure what I did the first time to fix it.
Basically, when I try to mount my SD card via USB it tries to - but then fails and goes back to "preparing SD card" on the phone. It never shows up on the PC.
I'm running Gumbo 1.5C with kernel.
I tried going back to my RUU image/formated SD and start over but the problem still persists. The card is partitioned for Apps2SD. If I need to format the card can someone provide instruction to either move whatever is installed on the SD card back to the phone or how to back up the SD card so I wont have to clean everything up again.
Would be very much appreciated!
Thanks!
I am always the person who asks the stupid "is it plugged in?" questions...
Did you try using the SD card in a different device?
Does the phone let you store on it?
Can you install new Apps?
Did you try a different SD card?

No, I don't really have another device to try it in... but it does work. The card does mount through the Recovery USB toggle. It just doesn't mount through the OS.

I can try another one when I get home but the problem is I wont have any of the apps that were installed on the SD card.
What I did just try is "unmount" the SD card on the phone so it looks like I'm about to remove it - then restart. It's still not working. I kind of want to say that the problem arose when I pulled my phone off the USB cable while the card was already mounted - to answer an important phone call. I'm just not sure how to replicate or undo the problem.

This will kill it every time.
The best thing to do is go into recovery make a back up of the EXT partition - theres an option for it some where. Mount the card in recovery copy the backup to the desktop. Power the phone off swap the SD card. Partition it with the EXT partion. Mount the new card as USB in recovery copy the back up to it (make sure you keep the original folder path exactly the same). Restore the EXT back up. *catches breath*
Maybe this will work for you. I had a very simliar issue destroy my 16gb. It was sadening those things aren't cheap.

I may give this a shot later, I just want to wait to see if anyone else has a solution. The reason being; this has happened to me before. About 2 months ago. I think I fixed it by changing to a different ROM... which is not what I want to do now. I like the speed I had now. There must be some haywire code that gets corrupted if I dismount improperly considering the SD card is still fully functional.
And... Bump.

Hello, I have my tattoo rooted for about 3 months now. I had the latest fyodor ROM now, but all of the sudden when I connected to disk drive it showed me mixed content, and if I clicked nothing happened.I tried running other roms that I had in the card, but same. I even tried a restore point to a completely other rom but nothing. PLEASE HELP ME!

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

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.

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? :/

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. =)

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.

Hello guys,
I have a Galaxy S5 G900T running the AllianceRom 3.1 made for G900F. I use an external SD Card SanDisk 16GB and since yesterday I never had a problem.
So, now I'm experiencing this error: "SD Card blank or has unsupported filesystem" on Notification Panel. When I click on it, android asks me if I want to format the card, I click OK, and at the end the same problem occurs.
Things I already tried to do:
1) I tested the SD Card into another Galaxy S5 and it's running OK without the problem;
2) I formatted the SD card (full format) on a windows computer. Windows recognizes it, and it's running OK;
3) I checked the file vold.fstab on /etc folder and it has the same content as another Galaxy S5 that is running OK the SD card;
4) I re-flashed the AllianceRom 3.1;
[EDIT 1]
5) Tried to wipe the SD Card using TWRP Recovery (as image 1 attached)
6) Tried to partitioning using TWRP Recovery (as image 2 attached)
[EDIT 2]
7) I bought another SD Card, a Samsung 64GB and when I insert it on device I don't get this error, but also not able to mount, it doesn't even recognizes the SD card.
p.s. I searched a lot on XDA, even on Google, and those was the possible solutions I've found, but didn't work for me.
Does someone experienced this problem and was able to fix?
Does anyone knows another alternative that could work?
Thanks in advance

Copy the content of the sdcard to the pc and format the card on the phone itself, that should fix the issue.

Have you tried another SD card in your phone? EDIT: Nevermind this bit
When you plug the SD card into your handset (do it while it's off) Does the SD Storage show anything?
You could try formatting it in another handset if you have the chance then try plugging it in.
Are you using stock Sammy firmware? Or have you installed a custom kernel? Could be one of those playing havoc with your device if so, back up and revert to stock if you can, retest the SD in there.
Test to see if you can retrieve data from the SD card, i've found that although SD cards show up in windows, when I attempt to copy data to the PC it fails, when I say fail I mean it stops progressing and doesn't copy, particular files appear corrupt.
You could also do a chkdsk /f /r via windows on the SD card, or even a general error check.
chances are one of these things will be the culprit, if none and it's still working in another phone and other cards are working in your device then i'm stumped.
Good luck
I would try philz recovery, i had all kinds of problems with twrp on my note 3 and s5 until switching. Not knocking twrp this is just my experience

I get the same problem: SD Card blank or has unsupported filesystem

I formatted my device right now and installed Samsung stock firmware with stock kernel. I also tried to get back to stock recovery, then installed CWM and TWRP, but the same problem
I'm starting to think this is a hardware problem, because I tried everything and nothing happened.

Quite an odd one that, i'm a little stumped.
did you try error checking on windows? OR even a format in a different handset? OR a different card in your phone to see if to see if it reads?
On the other hand if the phone isn't that old, return it, 28 day swap should be good if you're in time, otherwise it's back to sammy.
sorry I can't be of more help m8.
Same problem with GalaxyS5 and 64 GB card
I am having the same issue with a 64GB memory card in the Galazy S5. Blank or unsupported file system.... doesn't format in phone. works great on PC and even on old Motorola Razr phone, format exFAT and FAT32 tried but the phone doesn't care.
please help, I first bought a sandisk card and returned it because i hoped the same brand SAMSUNG would work, nope nope...
HEEELLLPPPP
Thanks
David
Same problem with GalaxyS5 and 64 GB card
Have you found a solution to the OP?
I have an S5 too and it's doing exactly the same. I tried a 64GB Sandisk and Samsung cards, both work flawlessly in PC, MAC and even a different phone. WTH???? My 32GB Sandisk works well in the GAlaxy S5 too, I am about to see if it blends....

7) I bought another SD Card, a Samsung 64GB and when I insert it on device I don't get this error, but also not able to mount, it doesn't even recognizes the SD card.
p.s. I searched a lot on XDA, even on Google, and those was the possible solutions I've found, but didn't work for me.
Does someone experienced this problem and was able to fix?
Does anyone knows another alternative that could work?
Thanks in advance

Same here. My phone already went in for repair for this and the front camera ring falling issue. Mine was preordered and shipped at launch. It worked a few weeks and now has stopped again. Simply won't recognize any SD cards. I tried an old 2GB, a Kingston 16GB, a Lexar 32GB from my GoPro, and a Sandisk 64GB. All cards work elsewhere, but my S5 never indicates anything is inserted. This is my first Samsung, and it might be my last. I never experienced issues like this on an HTC.
Any progress here? I just got a sweet 64g card Samsung because my others have worked well BUT...
S5 Blank SD card of death. ....
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!
I'd take your device to a Samsung Service Center as there is a chance that your device's microSDCard reader is faulty and needs to be repaired.

Thank you for replay, actually I take it to one phone workshop and tell me same as you say, but still I an confused if can get all information from th SD card why I cant brows, and afraid I did some thing wrong after root my phone and its the reason for this.
which brand is your SD card? try formatting it using pc and try again. sometimes memory cards get write protected after sometimes. you can read from it but can't write or delete from it anymore. I had a transcend SD card with this problem

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.

I didn't delet any driver, just install some app with some editing in there files. You're right, I will reinstall stock firmware before take the phone to workshop. Thanks again

Thank you foe reply, its not famous brand (kingmax) but work perfectly in computer and other phone, also try another SD card and not work in the phone. I will reinstall stock firmware to make sure the problem from hardware not software especially because I root my phone and get some errors like screen not rotating and hotspots not working.

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.

Done, thank you.
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.
Any way I didn't lost any of my app or data, thank all of you guys.
