have you solved this problem?
I'm facing the same situation now, but I don't have another SD to try.
Please let me know how if you solved it.

If it's under warranty then take it back. Looks like hardware fault.

Hey, I have a LT28i which i bought off Expansys and it came unlocked with 6.0.f.0.72 installed but when I connected it to my com the PC Companion told me there was and update but after multiple times I still cannot update my phone. I have read the threads and don't really understand the process of flashing and I do not want to lose all my data on my phone. Can anyone help or direct me to the correct thread please?
On a side note I cannot get my Ion to transfer the apps to my SD card as well as all my camera photos are still stored on the internal memory is there any setting i can make to get them to go straight to my SD card?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,

You can flash it to .111. All you have to do is make sure that you uncheck the wipe data part of the flashtool. And for the SD card problem, I have no solution to it as I don't have a SD card for my ion atm.

Since the ion has internal storage, you have to look for the ext card to see your SD card. SD card on mine is actually the internal storage.
Thanks a lot. Is it possible to rename the SD card from ext to SD and make the phone think it's the internal one? And if i flash it to .111 will i be able to recieve updated from SE or do i have to keep reflashing it when something new comes out?

.111 is still an official firmware. You can still update without issues. Not sure on the renaming part. Give it a try and see what it does. If it doesn't work just rename it back.

Okay, i've read the flashing guide on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343 but i'm still lost. the program wont detect my Lt28i. can anyone advise please? =/
Does your PC pick it up? If not and the phone is just charging when connected you are probably not using the cable that came with the phone and it is probably a charge only cable. At least that's the problem I ran into at first lol

For Xperia Ion, you have to hold the Up Volume button as you connect it with the usb. The back button is for the older models. Remember, keep your phone charged before you flash.

The problem is that I cant even get flashtool to detect my phone to flash. Even with pressing the button.
You might need drivers... Go to the drivers downloader in the flash tool folder and click on it.

Just try it again and again until it's done. Sony's server is very bad so you can't just update successfully with only one try. I had to try it a whole day to get it updated to 111. When you see the download bar run full, your device will get updated.
My unit is GT-N7105. I discover that About device -> Update states that Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available. What does it mean as it is a brand new unit and bought it yesterday? How can I update the future firmware? Thanks
Did you rooted your device? If so then that is the reason.
You can still download the updates from sammobile. Com and flash it via odin...

No, I did not do and I bought it from electrcal shop with Samsung seal.
I had the same thing, what I realised is that the ext sd card that I put into the phone still had all the files from my s3 on it including super su etc. I removed the sd card and status went back to unmodified and I could do ota updates. Dunno if that's the case for you.

I can confirm I have the same problem with my note 2. It seems it is because of the memory card. I had a bRand new SanDisk 64Gb one and one day I had the same message. Unfortunately I formated my phone and my card just to find out it was because of the card. I don't know why it does that but I'm sure it is the card. May be more people should try and check and report?

I did use my mSD card of my SGS2 on this new unit. Once I removed it, it changes to Normal Status. How can I use a mSD card on Note 2? Do I need to format it by Note 2?
Does Rooting block access to OTA updates if the official ROM isn't changed?

I tried to format my 4 GB Sandisk mSD card to FAT32 file system but the problem persists. That is to say I cannot use the mSD socket so far.

I formatted it on my desktop pc running on Windows 7. How can I format it using my phone?
so i have like a generic (i guess) sdcard
it has no real branding on it other than "micro sd HC 16gb C4"
and recently i flashed PA3.6 and it worked fine i had pics music everything on it
but than i flashed illusion build 6/8 and i got a "preparing sd card" notification normal right til it said "sdcard removed"
and repeated that a few times til i removed the sd card
it seems anything other than PA3.6 (given idk the build date of that honestly)
but anything build after 6/7 is giving me issues
i flash cm10 rc5 nothing
aokp nothing
PA3.6 works fine -_-
but here the part im stuck at ok if my sdcard was was gonna die or something it wouldnt work in PA
but also it works on any 4.1.2 rom i flash
new 4.2.2 i cant get it to mount
ive formated it 4 times on my pc in fat32 i even tryed exfat nothing and if i boot to recovery no matter the rom i flash it will read the sdcard
i flashed all those roms from my 16gb sdcard they flash fine than boot and wont mount ...
its killing me here any ideas??
ive formatted and ran diskchecks scaned it and all nothing seems wrong with the sd card .. i thought maybe the reader so i took my dads 2gb sd card from his phone nope worked on those roms fine
its only those roms and my 16 card.
help please .. i feel im going in circles i even asked some devs and they even seems confused
.. im lost any help would be thanked
Go to sdcard.org and try their sd card formatter. Also try formatting it from the phone itself while on a build that works.

ill try the site but ive done that to and i just learned it seems ALL 4.2.2 roms OTHER THAN PA wont work -_-
this sd card man
the websites formater wont even format it -_-
it says unsupported
Do you mean it won't work in any 4.2.2 roms, or it will?
Only other thing I can think of to try is to partition the card with gparted. Doubt it'd do anything, but you never know.
If I think of anything else to try ill post it, but for now that's all I've got. Sorry.

I agree. They can start acting very strange when they start to go.
Avoid any unbranded or generic ones. I always stick to samsung and kingston personally. Always had great results with both. (Just make sure you're buying from a certified seller. Otherwise no guarantee it won't be a cheap knock off)

This happened to one of my sdcards also too. Your only way to fix it is by replacing it with a new one.

Hello guys,
I am using the Galaxy Note II N7100 variant. I am facing a problem with my external SD card.. I am using a 64GB Sandisk Ultra which is Class 10 AND UHS I card..
However recently my write speeds to the card from my mobile have droped drastically!! FYI The card is still blazing fast on the computer (Via the Card Reader) :thumbup:
Next issue is now a days, I cant unmount this sd card. When I say Unmount, it says Unmounting Sd Card for a loooonnnggg time and then the phone reboots! :what: However If I format the same card and unmount it, it get unmounted easily... SO M GUESSING its because of some app I shifted on this card Maybe?! But for the end of me, I cant seem to find that app IF thats the case!
Any help, views, suggestions and inputs are welcome.. SOLUTIONS ARE MOST WELCOME
Thanks and Cheers

Try the obvious! Wipe cache from recovery and dalvik.
try a factory reset and if all else fails give the phone a full wipe

In that case your options are pretty limited! You can try looking for service codes to access so called 'secret menus' but im not sure how effective that would be but you could get lucky! tbh id be worried that its a hardware issue with your phone and one of the first things warranty service dept will get you to try is a factory reset
Thats a bit worrysome then.. Since my GN2 is out if warranty any ways, let me try your method.. :thumbup:
