Im sorry, i know this topic has come up a thousand timed but i still have found no solid answer. I am on Wicked rom right now. I went into recovery to flash the new rom but team recovery wont show the zip files on my sd card. After trying some other things and different sd cards now i have noticed nothing including root explorer wont see zip files. sometimes it will show pictures or music but not usually. usually the phone wont even see the card at all. iI have heard everything from reformat to the springs that hold the card are worn and need to be bent back to class 10 (which is what I used since i got it) wont work with the s3 to 64 gigs wont work. My phone is starting to act up and I really want to try a new rom ( not that I dont love the Wicked rom) just want to try something else and also hope to get rid of the bugs im starting to get. is there a way to flash a rom without an sd card installed or has anyone figured out the problem yet with the sd card issues? Again, sorry if this has been answered but I've spent hours trying to figure this out. Thanks for any help and I'll be sure to hit "thanks"
it is possible to flash a rom within your internal storage.
Now I have a 32gb sd and it reads fine dont know what class though.
I used cwm and the other recovery from goomanager their good so it might just be you're sd card hardware thingy,
If i were you I would ask to give you another s3 under warrenty because thats not normal bro lol as far as the rom goes... I havent used wicked but im sure it should be able to read you're sd no problem.
And this should of gone to the Q&A section but hey.... you win some.... you lose some......but you live!......you live to fight another day!

Okay, i'm new here but reading all of your threads is just confusing me.. there is so much conflicting information.
To begin, I bought my phone HTC EVO at the sprint store before i was even considering this thing called "rooting". I did the OTA update, didnt know any better at the time... however I did toast's root and I honestly have no idea if i got it to work or not but I was able to do the ad blocking thing and what not.....
I started having an Sd card error on my camera, telling me i had "insufficient rights" to the card...
and the video camera in Qik simply didnt acknowledge that there was a card at all and to insert one.
Now. I attempted the OTA, to fix the SD card, and i thought it worked at first but then it acted up again.....
Now i'm hearing this thing about Unrevoked?? if i have already done it toasts' way can i still run unrevoked or is it advised that i flash it back to stock rom and wipe all my data AGAIN....
anyways heres the funny thing...
i had an extra 8GB micro sd card from my Touch Pro 2, and I put in my EVO and formatted it... and.... now everything works fine....
my version is still 1.32.651.1
What should I do now? Since im not having any problems since i changed the card...
is there data on that card is necessary? or that i can just transfer over?
I dont want to perform the OTA again, but i know if i did it would answer alot of questions based on the result...
I need advice...
Please
Class 6 works perfect for me
I havent had any problems since I changed my sd to a class 6

well actually it does since it was caused by a rooting issue by one of your other members and i didnt know whether to respond to it in its thread but it had to do with other subjects such as alternative rooting methods and what the next course of action since this issue is currently going on. sorry if I couldnt find the place to put it. but otherwise it just would have gone into the thread which people are still asking what root is.
I have been using incredibly re-engineered z and downgraded to clockwork 3.0.0.7 as the instructions say to do to load nils business sense z . I downloaded the rom and used Rom Manager to install the new rom, as I always do, except for restoring sometimes in recovery. For some reason when the phone booted back there was a horizontal black line across the screen below the "HTC Incredible boot screen...then there are two vertical white lines at each end of the screen and the center is black.. The home,menu,back and search button still have haptic feedback, so i assumed the phone didnt quite make it into recovery...pulled the battery...tried regular reboot...same thing happens at the boot screen. Got phone into bootloader and when i hit fastboot, it shoots out a bunch of errors it seems real quickly. All is can read is SD checking...no image or wrong image...PB310IAG.zip (i think)...lack of heap. I tried to get the phone into recovery from the bootloader screen and the same thing keeps happening. I'm stuck and have no clue what kind of fix there is for this...am i bricked? I dont get this...have flashed roms 20 times or so and nothing like this has ever happened...please help!
Sense you can't get into recovery you are going to have to flash back to stock with an RUU..... if you want I will help you through the process..... first check and make sure your SD card is formatted fat32... and let me know and we will go from there

Ok follow these steps exactly for step was formatting the SD so hboot can read the zip..... now download the zip I'm giving you and place it on the root of your SD card once you have it there rename the zip PB31IMG.zip exactly, then boot into hboot wait for for it to search for it if you did my steps correctly it will once it finds it it will ask you if you want to update press the button up to update let it do its thing till it says it done and asks you to reboot... don't panic and pull the battery because the process can take awhile just be patient... make sure you have a good charge
Here's the file let me know what happens....

hit volume up and rebooted...didnt reboot into hboot though and same thing happened at incredible screen...assume the sd card is still formatted correctly
i do not have a sd adaptor for my mac and not sure how to flash anything on the hboot screen. Also I have never used my computer for anything on the phone so know very little about how I would put something on the root of my sd card through a computer
thinking about going to verizon tomorrow and just telling them that I might have picked up some new malware that I hear is going around on the market...that it has caused this to my phone...???

Well I thought I could help but if you can't access your SD card then that wont work.... the root of the SD is the section where all the folders are located....

just wierd...flashed many a rom and this has never happened before. No clue what I did wrong as I do the same thing every time I flash a new rom through rom manager...make a backup if I wish and wipe...then reboot and off we go...for some reason things went a bit different this time. no clue...?
Yea it sounds strange if you go to Verizon be carefull
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
if i am able to get an adaptor, how easy would it be to do this. As mentioned, I ve never really done anything with the phone on my computer. I have seen the mass storage files and pulled pics from the sd card through a usb cord and thats about it. I can get an adaptor pretty easily. Just dont know if I can actually do this. I'm decent with computers, but far from an expert
what did i do to the phone so i can try not to do this again. Its like rom rom manager messed me up...sux
Its hard to tell what happened without skittles more info but I can help you I will we will Yakut step by step if you want to try I'm willing to help
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
most definitely...pretty beat from a long week. Are you gonna be around tomorrow? Also, do you know about mac's? I also have a windows machine so i guess it doesnt matter, but know the mac a little better myself.
I use windows myself but all you need it for is to download the file and then copy it to your SD the rest is done on the phone its actually pretty easy ill just have to explain it in more detail for you.... so if you want to wait go ahead and download the file its about 180mb so you will have it and we will get you fixed

dl'ing file now...let me know when you might be up and about so we can get this done. Really appreciate it!

Hi! I have an Evo 4G and have been rooted and running ROM's for a while now with no issues. Im currently using MikG v2.59 and have no issues until now.
My sdcard is not being recognized by my device. ive been on the forums all morning reading about similar issues and some fixes but mine seems particularly unique. I can get into recovery fine and can even see all my folders if i go to flash .zip but as soon as i try to do anything it says error sd card not mounted and then I cant see any folders unless i do a battery pull. tried a co-workers sdcard and it works fine.
Any ideas? If more info is needed let me know and thank you in advance!
Try your card in their phone and work from there. If it works could be your ROM. Try reflashing.

tried that and it didnt work in hers either

Hmm, seems like it's the card. You may want to try using another card if possible..
Sent from my RED XDA.
Is it visible via plugged into PC? Or via card reader? If not you might just half to suck it up and reformat it, no big deal. But hopefully you can back up the contents first.

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)

Hi Guys,
I'm on Temasek's CM11, been using this Sony 64GB microSD card for over a year, and today, randomly while the phone was in use, I saw a message pop up, SD card unexpectedly unmounted. After that, it's not using up in the file systems, all the way down to the Recovery. I'm using TWRP.
I put the SD card in another Note 3 I have and everything seems to be fine on there, all the data is here.
So just posting here to make sure that is it safe to conclude that my SD card slot is fried?
And if so... What are my options... I have had the Note 3 for over a year and brought it off of Craigslist. It's unlocked and use it on AT&T...
So any ideas or advice friends? And yes, I pressed the SD card firmly in my Note 3 many times...
Thank you!
Anyone guys?
have you tried a different sd card? Also is your phone rooted if so try to access it in recovery. if so then something in the system messed up and a restart of your phone could fix it or a new rom. good luck hope it's not fried :-\

Thanks bud for your response! Yes, another sd doesn't show up in the phone, but works in another phone. And no, Recovery does not pick it up either .
Looking to move to another ROM, want to try Android 5.0, but really want to make sure I can come back to KK if I want to. The fact that sd is not showing up in recovery is really discouraging, but also, there are no signs of sd card slot being fried either like a smell or anything.
Please keep responding folks, if you have any ideas! Thank you!
Your using CM11 killed the sdcard slot in your Note 3. No use crying after spilled milk. Stick to stock rom next time.
