[Q] Major Sd card issue - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all. I got a major issue where i cannot move,delete,copy or edit any of the files and folders from my Sd card and everytime i try for example to delete something i get the message "..it cannot be deleted". I also tried to export something from dropbox to sd card and i also get an error message saying " Storage full or unavailable" . Lastly i also can't seem to move files from my pc to the sd card . I started having this problem today that i flashed rastakat rom 4.4. Running its latest version,with PA gapps. From my perception its like i don't have the rights to edit anything other than download and install from playstore that works normaly. Please help. Thanks in advance.

By the way i also re flashed like 5 times and problem hasnt been solved

How could I do that anyway?
I didn't find any other way so I wiped everything, flashed stock and re-flashed, rastakat after. Now all seem normal.

sd read only problem

Hi Im currently running wildpuzzle 0.7 and have an issue where the sd card becomes read only. un mount mount do not help, app can not have write access like camera for instance. Under windows file permissions appear ok.
Any clues?
Regards.
Problem resolved by connecting USB, using windows to check drive errors on card.
Thanks.
I would still love to know what may have caused it..........

dont think so pal, happened to me with stock card from phone :/
True, happened to me as well, and, only formatting the SD solved it. This happened to me using the stock card.
This happened when I was playing around with A2SD, and had created an EXT partition using ROM Manager. It worked well for a fe whours, then these errors started creeping up and I had to format it. Could be something wrong there....

[Q]L3.E400.CM9/Not reading any SD cards!

Hello there, i got a problem after istalling a .zip that was to fix the LockScreen position bug for CM9!

[Q] Cannot Install Any Custom Rom's

I can no longer install any of the custom roms on my AT&T S4. This is both on OUDHS 1.034 & 1.035 and TWRP 2.5.0.2 The files all fail. OUDHS says the files are bad. This only began today. Anyone have any ideas of what I might try. I have a 64 GB external SD card in the phone.
If it were me, I would start over period, quit wasting time, odin back to stock and root, and so on. You could be done in 30min or so, or wait and try things that are probably not going to work.
I forgot to mention I have Odin'd back 3 times restarted root & etc. I thought my SD card might've corrupted but all my pic files & videos are all fine.
Did you reset to factory after you odin?

It is in the SD card somehow. I copied one of the roms & a Gapps file to the internal and it installed fine. What can be up with my SD card?
Hmm, bad download? Which roms are you trying to flash?

It was all of them today. CM 10.1 Nightly, Task650's, Bean Stalk, Slim & Pac Man & Paranoid. I put Task650's 6-18 & Gapps 6-12 on my Internal drive and then it installed perfectly.
Backup the card and do a full format with sdformatter. No quick format. Then reload card.

Thanks. I'll give it a whirl tomorrow. What format type should I use?
Sorry missed your reply. It is in the sdformatter instructions. Haven't used it for awhile. But, believe you want Full Erase On and Size Adjustment ON. It will do fat32. No quick format. May take awhile--
Back Up phone and sdcard first and put a copy of each on pc also--

SD card won't format

Sup guys. I don't know if this is the right place to post this. But here I go. My 32gb San Disk micro SD card was working fine on my gs3 until I got my s4 and now it seems to be write protected. I can't delete or add anything onto the card. It worked fine on the s3 though. So I Googled a little about this and came across a piece of software, which I downloaded and made use of. But the tool I used to supposedly fix the card actually made it worse. Now the phone can't read it, nor can the PC explore its files (but can detect the device), its like a non allocated partition that just needs formatting. But I have tried windows format utility, SD card formatter, HD low level formatter, and HP USB disk utility software and all of them without success. Please help me as I don't know what else to do.

use cwm recovery to format sdcard. u may need to root ur ph for dat
Yes the galaxy s4 does seam to have issues with sdcards, I myself had corrupt sdcard twice for no apparent reason. Your sdcard will now be in RAW file system and from experience very hard to recover, I've tried dozens of recovery windows apps to fix the partition without success (maybe just didn't try the right app) you can however recover SOME datas on the sdcard but there is no guarrentee how much or what you can successfully recover.
The moral of this story is to ALWAYS backup your data.

Hi, pop it in a camera, if it detects it you are lucky, format it there and you're all set. Unfortunately you will lose all the data

My camera uses SD cards I think, not micro. But I'll check
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
just find an adapter from somewhere, usually one is supplied with the card
I tried clockwork mod recovery with no avail. I have little faith that a camera format tool would work, so I'm not even gonna bother to find a microsd adapter. Sigh. Any other suggestions please? I'm almost giving up

new card?
Yes, that's unfortunately my last resort. I was hoping it didn't have to get to that point though, cause where I live, a 32gb micro SD card is expensive as ****. But oh well. Thank you guys for trying.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Why not just get a card reader and use a PC and partition minitools?
To get your SD card back You may even need to do a LOW LEVEL format. This is very different from a standard format.
Use Google and get a freeware version of a low level format software then repartition USB/flash drive then normal fat32 format.

moving files to external sd card, plz help

ok so I recently updated my Samsung galaxy s4 i337 to 4.4.2 NC1 and rooted it.. although I'm having a problem installing a ROM on it..
every time I go to CWM recovery I cannot install an update from internal memory, which is where my phone automatically puts downloaded files in. I've looked all over for a way to moves files from internal memory to external sd card but I haven't been able to find a method that works so I finally decided to make an account on xda and ask.. so weather there is a way to move the .zip files (the rom and gapps) to my external sd card, or another method to installing custom ROMs, please help :/
Look at root explorer.
