i installed one of my other rooted roms and my sd card wont mount exsd i tried mounting my card in my buddys s4 and it mount in his .i try is sd card in mine it wont mount. any ideas

Did you try formatting the card?

Try a stock rom, if no good on stock, try formating via computer to fat32. If no go, you probably need to replace the sdcard/sim card flex tray.

Blank External SD card

Hi there.
I have a 4GB sd card for my SGS SC-02b. Whenever i insert it into the phone the message at the notification area appears saying "sd blank or has unsupported file system". I tried formatting it and tried to mount it but its not working, i m not getting any error message while mounting or formatting, its just not working. I tried reinserting the sd card but still the same.
Looking for some kind suggestions

Is your sdcard locked by that little plastic knob on your card?
what files system are you formatting with recommend you use this app to format externally in your computer with a card reader

thanks for the tip, its working great now
Well, its not working again. It was working for a while, then i had to root my SGS so i removed SD card, rooted my SGS and then reinserted Sd card, now its saying Damaged SD card you have to format it, when i format it, no error message appears and nothing happens and notification area is still saying Damaged SD card.
Any suggestions??
What brand is it, dont tell me its a unbranded one, or a cheap ebay one, it could be a fake one, use you pc to format it fat or use the sd formatter, when you put it into the phone, unmount it then format again using the phone before use.
I have a 32gb adata class 2, 32gb lexar class 10, and many 8gb and 16gb from kingston, toshiba and sandisk in class 2 to class 6, all works.
Connect phone with USB cable in mass storage mode .
Format the SD card then run scandisk/error checking on the card .

[Q] SD card mount problems

hi all,
i just flashed my first phone yesterday. HTC HD2 with android 2.3.2 nand based.
Everything is working great except i can not mount my SD card. When i try to mount it, it says SD card is safe to remove !!!
maybe is some noob question but i can not seem to fix it.
I tried formating the card under windows in a pc but it didnt fix
thanks a lot
do you have anothre card to try and see if that one can be mounted? oh, make sure you are formating the card to FAT32 by the way. its easy to over look that when formatting cards.

format your micro SD card in another phone or one of the market apps or try a did card. Fat 32
Tried that, no luck. Anything else?

troubleshoot
Use a different microSD card - does issue still happen? If so, it's probably not the MicroSD card. If not - problem solved, the card is the issue.
Does the other sd have to be inserted permanently or can it just be inserted for flashing only?
also if I format the sd card on CWM is it formating the internal card? or the external card???

You can use it for flashing a rom image only, no need to keep it in the system after applying a update/rom to the a500.
You can also flash a rom from USB key if you have one (FAT32 is a must).

Are you using the mount option in CWM? If so, that's for mounting the SD card on to a connected PC as a disk drive...
If not, and no external SD cards are working for you, you can also use a USB memory stick as mentioned above.
I used another sd card all is well now, last question didnt get an answer for,
In CWM does formating sd card mean formating external or internal sd?

A common problem. CWM seems to be quite sensitive to cards. You can either try reformatting it in a PC or other Android device, or try a different card.
thanks, i reformated it to ntfs, then fat32 to no luck..i see it fine in my skyrocket...ill try reformatting again
reformatted back to fat32 now is working..thanks

[Q] mount sd option kills card

silly question time, but when i go to storage on galaxy s5 and press the option to mount card, it makes the sd card unreadable and corrupt and i have to format it if i want to use it again losing all data. should os not recognise that the sd card is already mounted and not try and force a mount on it? tried this a few times just to see and every time and kills the sd card.
Tried a different card? Maybe it's a faulty SDcard

Maybe youre formatting it wrong, dont put it as ntfs or anything, your bwst option would be fat32 or exfat or similar.
