No, as of now it can't be connected to a computer. It won't mount.

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I have the same problem as robvaldy with the sd card after installing mod 1.3. when I reinstall the firmware update PBJ8000.2.0127 for the A7 the card is recognized again. I haven't tried to use use the usb yet. Its just annoying having to shutdown to remove d sd card every time. Otherwise, I'd like to thank Dexter for a really sweet hack.

Aurora ICS sdcard problem.

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.

Its just another formating tool, only windows may have problem formating large SD cards which this would be able to handle . Formating your SD card will give you a CLEAN installation, and can also be done by your phone... menu> settings>privacy> format or in CWM too

[Q] Can't browse SD Card Wicked ROM v4

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?

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

SD card not detected/shown when connecting to PC

Dear fellows,
This is a very unpleasant situation. I have flashed the Marshmallow ROM of artas182x:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...shmallow-note-3-t3349306/page109#post69202143
Everything is PERFECT, even FDE is working! But when I connect the phone to my laptop,
I can only see the Internal memory, but I can NOT see my SD card, hence I can't copy any
files to it directly. I need to copy to the Internal memory and then move the files on the
phone, which is a quite annoying 2-step process.
I have decided to post a new thread for this, because Artas is not replying to my posts
and not even to a PM which I sent him.
PLEASE help me, as this is the only ROM which has encryption working. I have tried
Slim ROM, Phronesis, DarkLord and also VisionX (Lollipop) and none of them has
encryption working, it always fails with something I'm sooooo frustrated
Many many thanks in advance!

i would install the Samsung USB drivers .
Format the sd card .

Hello and thanks for your reply, but I am not sure, that this will solve my problems, because...
With all the ROMs - Slim, Darklord, Phronesis - when I connect the phone to the laptop,
in Windows Explorer I can see Internal Storage and next to it - SD card.
Just with the ROM of Artas - when I connect it to the laptop, I only see Internal Storage.
Isn't there some setting for this, some file that I can edit or (re)move or I don't know, just
something. How it can be that with EVERY ROM I tried, the SD card is seen on the PC,
just not with the ROM of Artas. Thank you.
P. S.: Or perhaps there is a way to take the drivers/modules responsible for SD card from
another ROM and put it in Artas' ROM ?

Your using Marshmallow, are you using your SDcard as portable or integrated storage? if you have formatted the SD as internal storage it will now be an encrypted partition only accessible by the phone itself. Connecting to desktop will only show the internal data storage. If you want direct access to SD card, format it as portable... if still not working reboot to TWRP Recovery, enable MTP and mount SD storage along with system partition, sd storage should be executable on the desktop. You can also decrypt the Marshmallow SD internal storage but its another story.

Hello jordanpa and many thanks for replying to my problem!
I should have written about this as well - I did NOT format the card as internal storage.
I am using it as emergency rescue - keeping a copy of the Slim ROM and TWRP there,
because several times it happened that the Internal storage got completely wiped and
I needed to have something to flash in order to get the phone running.
So, this is not the cause of the problem, unfortunately... Please suggest something else.

P. S.: Could that be caused by a virus/malware ??? What can I do, in order to rule out this possibility ?

Darklord and phronesis 5.1.1?.
You need to format it first time to be used on 6.0.1.

If you are regularly flashing custom ROM's and wiping system partition etc you can pretty much rule out malware or virus, especially when diagnosing function issues like reading partitions. The most vulnerable devices are those running on the same stock firmware with no anti-virus and outdated security patches.
Check the permissions for each partition, It will need to be readable for not just the phone.

Nope, I was trying Darklord and Phronesis based on Marshmallow. I have read somewhere, that encryption has been implemented much better and more secure on Marshmallow. On Lollipop I only tried VisionX which was working very well, but again it failed to encrypt my device.
About the malware/virus - this is another problem that I have on another phone. Maybe I wrote this by mistake in this thread...

I tried the buttons update driver - Windows didn't find nothing.
Then I tried to uninstall the driver and replug the phone - after a while it gave me:

What can be done, please advise on how this can be solved ? Thanks!

Yep, manual, click on the button Have disk, etc. But it's necessary to have (as far as I remember correctly) an .inf file and 1 or more .dll files. Where do I get those ones from ?
Thank you!
