I installed cyanogenmod using the app about two weeks ago. Last week I got a blank sd card notification. I formatted, and it wouldn't go away. I don't what I did, but it finally went away. Today, I got the message again. I formatted and restarted multiple times but it still won't recognize my sd card. I open the camera and it says "Insert an SD card before using the camera". What do I do?
Sorry if this is the wrong place, I'm new.

This happens some times. First try inserting a different card and see what happens. If it still does not recognize the card there is a possibility that the sd card reader is damaged.

SD Card Damaged. You may have to reformat
I am running cm7. I have tried MIUI and phiremod. I run the roms off internal memory. My problem is that no matter what i do i get the message. There is nothing wrong with my card. I have tried multiple different cards, all with no luck. Nook reads/writes to the card just fine. Stock software never gave me this error.
Re-formatting in android does not help. I even downloaded the sd format exe and formatted in windows, still no luck.
I guess I am asking if there is anyway to remove the error without removing then re-inserting the sd card. It is really annoying. If anyone else has this issue, please chime in.
Thanks.

Does this happen without a card plugged in? A few months ago, my /emmc partition got corrupted and wouldn't mount, and I got this message. I wasn't using /emmc for anything then, so it took me a while to figure out that it wasn't my uSD after all.
Check Settings/Storage and see which "SD Card" it doesn't like. Android treats /emmc just like an SD card, to the error messages are misleading.
Does this thread match what you see? Maybe somebody can come up with a better repair scheme.

You got it! I took my sd card out, then restarted the nook. When I rebooted I still had the same error So I reformatted the card. Turns out it was the emmc after all.

Cool! I wonder how it got corrupted in the first place, though. Of course, I had just installed CM7 on the EMMC at that time, so no telling what I might've typed incorrectly.
Hey Guys,
I've got the Telus version of GS4 I337M and it is rooted running stock. I purchased a 64 GB Adata card (AUSDX64GUICL10-RA1) and loaded it up with about 40 gigs of music. The card was working fine but after I restarted the S4 I got a message saying "Damaged SD card. SD card is damaged. Try reformatting it." I reformatted it went loaded the music and got the same message after a restart. I thought this was strange so I tossed the card in my friends S3 and it worked fine. I then popped it back into the S4 and it started working again. However, after I restarted the phone I got the same message.
I returned the card and picked up a Patriot Memory 64 GB (PSF64GMCSDXC10) to replace it. After putting on 40 gigs of music, I restarted the phone and now I have the same message. I'm starting to think that it is not the cards but the phone. Has anyone else run into this issue and is there any fix? The only reason I got this phone was to use the SD card slot to store all my music.
Thanks!
same issue here. After a reboot, I got the message that the SD card was damaged. I didn't format it, but rebooted and didn't get the message. But do have some problems playing music from time to time. It just stops.
much as i hate to say it, thats 'normal' with GS3/GS4.
I had this issue on my S3. Its an issue with exFAT. Try force formating your SD to fat32. I bet this fixes your issue. Good luck!

This happens to me every time I reboot. If you just reboot again it will be gone. Annoying to have to reboot twice every time so I think I'm going to try to force format fat32 like the above user suggested.

have the problem on my S4 using 64gb. formatted with fat32 already from my pc + phone issue persists. girlfriends has no issue with a 32gb formatted in her S3
I've restarted multiple times but the issue persists. My only option right now is to not restart my phone which is very annoying. Does anyone know if this issue is happening just on stock or does it not matter the ROM?
same problem
I'm having the same problem on my AT&T rooted phone. The only fix I have discovered was unmounting my SD card prior to restarting my phone. I'm curious to see if anyone can find a better solution.

Re-mount SD Card
For me, rebooting takes to long so I have found two alternatives instead of rebooting. One you can physically take out the SD card and then re-insert it or you can go into the settings and then under storage hit mount and it will scan it for errors then work fine. This still does not solve the issue though and it quite annoying since I set a titanium backup pro backup to happen at night onto my SD card and in the morning it always said it has failed due to the damaged SD card error. I'm thinking about switching to a custom ROM just because of this and the volume warning. Any advice?
Have the same issue...I copy all my card contains to my pc , before formatting the sd card . Then I resend the contain back..never happen since
Do you guys have Google Play Music running (either actively or in the background)?
Happened to me daily when I had a Sandisk 64gb card. Returned it for a Samsung 64gb and I've only seen it once in about two months. I did have it formatted as exfat and just last week reformatted as fat32. I'm hoping that might fix the issue for good.
Btw, I never had to reboot when I got the message, just go into settings and click Mount SD card. Worked every time and I never lost any data.

Its funny that you ask. I've been struggling with the same issue of my phone randomly telling me that my SD card has either unexpectedly unmounted or is damaged. I lost all my data tonight (as far as I know at least- both the computer and the S4 want me to format it because it doesn't recognize the file system) and the last thing I was doing was playing a MP3 through Google Play. This file was located on the SD Card as well.
What was your reasoning?
Hello
About 12hrs ago, everything on my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone was working perfectly fine.
I was using my camera to record a video when the playblack crashed and the phone suddenly did a restart. When the phone booted back up again, the phone could no longer read the SD Card. I did several restarts and took out the SD Card and put it back in again and still the phone refuses to see the SD Card.
I know the problem ISN'T the SD Card because when I put the SD card into an adapter and plug it into my computer, the computer can read and see everything on the card.
Any one else have this problem and know how to solve it?
My phone isn't rooted or hacked
Thanks!

-Go to setting/storage and check what is the status for the external SD. May be it is not mounted.
- second check if you get any other SD card to test the phone behavior with it.

I tried a 16G SD card and it connected perfectly.
is there an App which forces the phone to mount the SD Card?

Save your SD card content to your computer and reformat it direct from the phone. If it is successful revert back the data et voilà!
if not Ok it is something wrong with the memory card itself...
I have similar problem. Two days ago suddenly I got message SD card unexpected removed. That puzzled me because I didn't touch SD card at all. Turned phone off and on and seemed to be ok since yesterday. I had SD card removed message again and phone doesn't see any card anymore. I tried bunch of SD cards and no luck. Reset my phone, reinstalled firmware and still nothing. Opened even my phone check sim and SD card board connector.
All my SD card tested, formatted on PC. Any ideas?
Hey all, I'm hoping somebody can help me. I'm currently running a rooted stock S5 I have safestrap installed and towel root.
All of a sudden this morning when I open to my gallery and pressed on a picture, it would not get bigger. I didn't think anything of it so I rebooted my phone. And when it came back up there was nothing on the SD card, all of my pictures and my music has disappeared. I unmount the SD card pulled it out rebooted we mounted SD card and I got an error message saying that the SD card was blank or the files are not supported. Has anyone come across this before?
When I got home from work, I pulled the SD card out put it in a card reader and on my computer again there were no files at all on the card. I put the card back in the phone and tried to reformat it, it would not reformat. I tried with several different SD cards and I'm getting the same error message saying that the card is blank and the file is not supported.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you might wanna try minitool partition wizard on your pc with your micro sd in your card reader and plugged into your pc and when you pull up your sd card im sure youll see your sd card isn't fat32 anymore and is Linux so to fix youll need to right click on the sd and click delete then put back into your phone and format then youll have it working again, but sorry to say your files are now gone on your micro sd
Ok hey guys. Yes I searched. This forum and the internet in general.
So I don't know why but all of a sudden my phone won't recognize my SD Card. It has been working for the month that I have had it but all of a sudden... IDK It is a ScanDisk 32GB SDHC-1 U1 Class 10. Anyways I have unlocked bootloader, rooted, xposed installed on stock operating system. I don't have the May OTA Security update and I flashed the zip since I can't accept OTA updates with modded os and it didn't work. No biggie, I don't really care about the May Security update anyways. This was like 2 weeks ago. Well I get tired of seeing the screen asking for me to download it so two days ago I got the app "DisableService" and in the folder Motorola Update Services, I disabled Ota Service. That's the only thing I have done recently. Anyways last night I pick up my phone and notice some of my apps have disappeared. I look in the storage and usb section and the sd card is there but greyed out. I restarted my phone a couple times, popped the sd card out, cleaned the contacts, and put it back. Nothing. I have everything backed up anyways so I forgot the card and reformatted it but I get this error
Whenever I reinsert it I get the notification "Unsupported ScanDisk SD card" but I can't format it. Maybe the card went bad all of a sudden? It's just weird. So I bought a new MicroSD card-PNY Elite-X 64GB microSDXC UHS-I, U3. It's on the way but I don't like not knowing what went wrong with the one I had. Any suggestions?
SD cards do go bad. Do you have any SD cards laying around you can put in just to test if it is the SD card or the phone hardware?

The only other one is in my wifes phone and I'd have to forget it and wipe it. No biggie I guess I'll just wait for the new one and see. I upgraded to 64GB and U3 so I'm happy about that.
