[q] mounted sd card disconnects after a few seconds - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Rooted with one.click.root.exploitv2.5.5 on eb13. When I mount my sd card, windows xp recognizes the phone and mounts as the E: drive However it then immediately disappears. After a few seconds this repeats. Any ideas? Tried rebooting phone, tried to mount in CWM but it didn't work either, windows never recognized it being connected.

Format sd card in phone after saving to computer.
Reinstall Samsung USB drivers for Windows 7.
Start from scratch...Odin back to eb 13 an try a different sd card.
Just a couple ideas....

formatting worked, thanks

[Q] SD card not working after rom manager backup

Hi guys, I am running CM7 on my EVO. Today I did a backup using Rom Manager and after the phone rebooted, the SD card stopped working. I cannot mount it. I tried connecting the SD card to my computer using a USB adapter and the card cannot be read. There are pictures on my card which I really need.
I'm pretty sure my card is messed up but if anyone has had a similar problem and found some fix, please let me know.
Thanks.
If you haven't already done so, boot into your recovery and attempt to mount the card via the MS-USB option.

I went into clockworkmod recovery and in the "Mounts and Storage option", I first tried "mount /sdcard". That failed to mount the sdcard. Then I plugged in my phone to the computer and tried to "mount USB storage". It says "Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)"
Any chance you've got a card reader/ adapter? If not, you can buy one at radio shack for like $5
The card *may* very well be corrupted and if you've tried this them disregard. Sometimes, powering off your device and then removing and reinserting the SD card helps. Afterwards, connect your device to your computer and boot into recovery. Once again, try to mount the card from within recovery. If you're still unsuccessful and have a spare SD card, shutdown your device and swap cards. Download the PC36IMG.zip for amon RA v2.3 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026, place of on the root of your SD card and boot into the bootloader to flash it. Installation takes less than 10 seconds. Afterwards, shutdown your device, switch back to the corrupted SD card and then boot into your new recovery. With your device connected to your computer via USB, select the MS-USB option from within recovery and see if the card mounts properly.

Can't connect to usb data. Should I unroot?

Hai,
Up until recently my Evo 4G connected to my computer with a USB data cable fine to both of my Win 7 x64 computers. Not to long ago I flashed a rom of MIUI (can't remember which), and my data cable stopped working. Sense then I have bought a new cord, flashed new roms, installed drivers (I didn't see x64 ones), uninstalled/reinstalled HTC Synch. Nothing works.
When I plug in the phone Windows makes the usb connect "ding" noise, then a pop up says the usb device could not be identified. If I wiggle the cord Windows makes the ding noise making me think the phone is only partially connecting? When I connect it nothing pops up on the phone itself. The charge light only comes on.
What should I do?
Hey,
Try booting into the bootloader and mount usb or toggle usb depending on your recovery and that should fix the problem if not, it might be an issue with MIUI! It has been giving me trouble when I tried to flash it so I couldnt use it, but many times between roms and kernals sometimes you will loose usb and it isnt the cable! try flashing a new rom and let me know how it goes!
stevo!
Hit the thanks if I helped!
I went into recovery and mounted usb, and sd card and the windows pop up came up. It said the usb device has malfunctioned, and windows could not recognize it. Same thing when I reboot. Seems to connect/disconnect when i move the cord with that pop up anytime it does connect.
I've flashed CM7 nightly sense then and now I am on [10-11-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [1.3][2.3.7 Stable] #Stablistic. I did notice when I click the pop up in windows it takes me to the info page for the unidentified usb and it says there is no driver installed for it.
Alright, I have two guesses.
I am glad you were able to mount it, and as long as it is reading i really dont think its the cord.
Now did you partition your sd card? because if you did you turned it to a linux file and your windows pc cannot read that
can you reformat your sd card and try it again?
If you keep having issues pm me.
I have had problems with that on my wifes lg optimus so what i did i took out the SD card and downloaded Mini tool partition wizard home edition 7 i used this to reparation the sd card and then reinserted the sd card and it worked after that. note i did put a ext 3 partition on the sd card. also if you have two primary partitions on the card widows will only recogize the first one. not sure if that is the issue in this case but i hope this helps
here is the partition wizard download

[Q] SD card no longer recognised in windows

I can no longer access my SD card from my windows pc when connected by USB. This occurred on the same day that i unlocked my bootloader, installed the java sdk and android sdk.
I have the phone set MSC (mass storage mode) and connect it by USB as I always did in the past.
Windows recognises that something is connected and a new removable drive is created.
In the past my phone would give me the option to connect the memory card, however this no longer happens.
Clicking on the new drive in Windows causes a message box to pop up saying "Please insert a disk in drive..."
No amount of fiddling with usb settings (debugging, MTP, etc) plugging / unplugging or rebooting has made any difference. I've tried reinstalling USB drivers and removing & reinstalling Sony PC companion. I've also tried accessing the sd card from ubuntu in a virtual machine, but that also doesn't work.
I can view the SD cards contents from my phone and through an adb link.
Does anyone have a solution? From extensive googling, the only things i can see that i haven't tried is:
- trying a different cable (which has been suggested but sounds pretty daft to me)
- reformatting the sd card
Any other suggestions? If i do have to format the sd card, are there any good guides or is there anything i need to avoid doing???
Can you read the card from a card reader.
if you can it is then either drivers or the cable
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
unfortunately i don't have a card reader. I'll give it a try tonight in my girlfriend's phone and with a usb cable and see how that works out.
it will definitely work with a card reader...this problem occurs when usb storage suddenly stops working as soon as usb is connected..i guess best way is to reinstall ROM if the problem persist.
Flashing firmware (global v62) got it working again )

Samsung Galaxy S i9000 internal sd card not working and touchscreen not responding

Hi. I have a Samsung galaxy S i9000 running a Jellybean 4.1 custom ROM. androidadvices. com/ update-galaxy-gt-i9000-stable-jellybean-411-firmware/#.UDJOV91mT9d
Everything's working fine until today when my laptop (Win7 OS) froze up while I was formatting the internal sd card of my phone.I restarted the laptop and phone and the internal sd card cannot be detected by either device anymore.
I tried to format the sd card multiple times to no avail. I tried to flash stock GB ROM. ODIN can detect the phone but cannot complete the process. It fails on "Setting Up Connection".
Up to the above process I was able to use my phone (it turns itself on, just can't use internal sd card). However, I made a stupid mistake of doing factory reset, cache wipe, and dalvik cache to reflash the JB ROM in hopes that it will fix it. Now, my phone is stuck on the Welcome screen (one with Choose Language and Start to setup) but the touchscreen isn't working so I can't select Start. The buttons on either side of the center button works, though. Only the touchscreen function is not working.
Now obviously, USB Debugging is not set up on my phone so I can't do a lot. My first question is: Is there a way to setup USB Debugging using ADB or from Recovery?
Additional info:
Recovery and Download mode are both working, although like I mentioned above, I cant reflash stock ROM because of no usb debugging and it fails in Odin. File Manager can be accessed from Recovery but it has no internal sd card directory. External sd card is ok, though, as well as the system files. But cannot install from internal sd card (obviously), cannot format sdcard, or do anything that has something to do with sdcard. It gives an error "E:\ can't mount sdcard"
When I connect the phone to the computer via USB, the phone "knows" that it is connected because the notification beep sounds and on Computer, it shows a new drive name (F but it says "Please Insert a disk into Removable Disk F.", which I believe, means it can detect it but cannot mount the storage.
I can also use adb.
So my questions are:
-How do I get the touchscreen functionality back?
-How can I enable my internal sd card to be mounted on the phone again?
-(same as above) How do I enable USB Debugging from adb or recovery?
I know I have a lot of issues on my phone but I would really appreciate it if you can help me. Thank you.
Did you find a solution?

Sounds like you have corrupted your SD card,if formatting it using windows doesnt work and make sure you format it in FAT32,then its trash,you'll need to buy/try another one.I always make sure to disconnect from my pc by right clicking the icon and unmounting it from the computer.If you just pull it,thats one of the things that cause corruption,also over use and no formatting for long periods of time.
