Hey guys umm lol when i was on mui I unmonted my sd card and formated it and tried to re mount it, when I did my phone froze and rebooted, only now it wont get past the white htc incredible screen, I tried flashing another rom they were still on my card, but same thing.
What should I do?
Backup your sd and then format it again fat32 with your pc and then move your files back. May have been a bad format last time, or your sdcard may be going out. Try another sd if you have one.
I'll try that thankyou I finally got it working after flashing a couple of roms

Question to throw out there. I have been running the CleanGB rom/ kernel. Switched to the sleeperROM/ shadow kernel. Both are great.
Here is what is weird. After switching to sleeper (not saying it is the ROMs/ kernels) and running for about 3hours my SD card crashed hard. Completely unreadable. Put it into the pc, formatted it, restored only music and pics and a few settings files. This morning decided to backup system with CWM5 but back up routine says no SD card? Booted the phone up and can read the SD card from with in OS. I am going to back up the SD card again with the pc to be safe.
Anyone heard of the SD card getting corrupted 2 days in a row? Should I format it with the phone or pc? The card is a class 10 16gb that is only 6 months old. Haven't seen this ever with this phone/card combo thru 10+ loads of bml roms or mtd roms. Do these things go bad? Suggestions to debug/troubleshoot what could be corrupting the SD card.

Yes they go bad and I would format in phone for best compatibility. Make sure the slot is clean of debris and dust as well.

Thanks. Formatted with pc. Phone at least recognized it. Then formatted with phone. Reloaded files from pc backup. Booted in CWM5. Enjoying SD card goodness.
Again thanks Kenny. Totally forgot about the format from phone. Will continue to back up daily until it appears stable again. And then back to my weekly backups.

So I had some backups I made yesterday on my phone, they were taking up space, so I transferred them to my computer. After they were done I deleted them off my phone and then tried transferring some other files. When I drag/dropped them nothing happened. I could browse my SD card but not copy and files. I unplugged my phone and plugged it back in and everything on the SD card was gone. Crap! Well luckily I made backups right?
Well when I restore my TWRP backup from yesterday when I first plug in my phone I can see my whole SD card again it seems. But ES FIle Explorer doesn't see anything but the default folder as well as QuickPic or any other apps. Then I check my phone via MTP again and everything is gone again but the default folders.
I am starting to panic a bit because the last SD card backup I have that wasn't in a recovery is from May. Anyone have ideas on what is going on here?
Easy way: ./flash-all.sh
Sent from my i9250
Is that the same as a factory reset in TWRP? Or does it do everything (lock boot loader, unroot, etc)?
Why would my SD card files disappear after MTP and how does this help? Just curios.
Thanks!

Will running the flash-all script erase the sdcard? I searched but didn't find much on if it effects sdcard or not.

It flashes data factory image, which wipes everything including sdcard.
better to flash manually and skip data flash and wipe data from recovery.
Thanks, that is what I thought. So that doesn't help me at all.
For anyone else that runs into this and wants to recover their SD card instead of wipe it, I ended up recovering my data that I cared about, recent pictures mostly, using the method in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994705
A little while back I posted a thread asking the following.
"Just recently rooted my friend's GN2, I transfered the files to the SD card and went into CWM recovery. I'm having 2 issues.
1: The phone says there's not enough room to make a backup when there clearly is. I have about 2 gigs on the internal, but but it either says I have 3mb of free space or 0.
2: I click 'install from SD' and the only file it sees is "-clockworkmod/ ".
What am I doing wrong? I personally have an S2 and it's very similar but these two things are preventing me from flashing any rom"
The only person to respond recommended I format the sd card so I did so. However the phone still did not recognize any files in the sd card so I couldn't flash any rom. Upon startup it began boot looping and the phone is no longer activated? It can't make calls or send texts and reboots every minute upon ' failed activation'. The phone currently is useless. I'm not new to flashing roms I've been doing it for years but this is the first time I'm stumped thanks to some bad advice (not blaming that person) and it's not even my phone. Luckily I just got an htc one and I could give my friend the my s2 until the problem is fixed...any ideas how to fix it? Or unroot at least to bring in for repair?

Try using twrp instead. Sorry I couldny be more help. But I have never used cwm on this phone since I got it. Only twrp. You can find it in original dev section.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
Yes use twrp. Find the latest version and flash it in clockwork. I havent used cwm since my og evo lol.
Maybe I'm old school but I'm a long time flasher and I've always just been more comfortable with cwm. But I'm not so sure it's a kernel issue?
Edit: and the issue is that I can't flash anything because I can't store anything on the sd card. I'm thinking of odining to a stock build?

The only thing I can suggest is doing a quick format on the SD card to FAT32, especially if the card is a 64 GB card. Also, some Sandisk 64 GB cards were bad from the factory, so check that too. Finally, if all else fails, try breaking the phone even more to the point it won't even boot and get a replacement.

Don't come up with one. Just take it in and show them. Before you take it in, if you can, try to reset the flash counter. If they can check that and see it isn't correct, you're in trouble. If it's reset or it can't be checked, then take it in.

this crap? only last resort. (man, you must have one pissed off friend.)
seriously, ODIN something. stock it.
if you're not really familiar with samsung stuff, do a bit of reading. perhaps a pit file might be needed. garwynn and sextape have some good threads on this.
Thanks guys. I'll try some things today and check back

Ok...what files did you transfer to the sd card? Was it the internal or external? Even 2 gigs on the internal for a backup may not be enough. I have a backup that is just over 3 gigs. As far as formatting your external sd what did you do ? Fat32? Personally TWRP is the way to go. Try to format fat 32, download a stock rooted TW rom and put on external sd, also dl TWRP recovery to external sd. Boot into cwm recovery and try to flash twrp. If that works out pull battery put back in volume up+home+power. Hopefully that gets you to twrp, if so go to wipe then factory reset. If you click on advanced it will let you wipe system which couldn't hurt. After that, back arrow on bottom of screen to twrp home screen. Click install...choose external then locate where rom is...hopefully on root of external and see if that helps.
Oh and was the phone activated prior to flashing?

Please do the following:
01). Format the SD card to FAT32 (NOT EXFAT OR NTFS) on ANOTHER computer and do NOT use the built in windows format options. Use a third party tool like guiformat.exe and do NOT USE QUICK FORMAT. (With my current sd card, windows format failed, guiformat.exe partially failed(and by failed I mean formatted fine but caused problems being seen) but I installed and used eausus partition master to regular format it to fat32 and followed the next few steps and its been working fine ever since.
02). Immediately after formatting the SD card slow format to fat32 in easus partition master create a text file on the sd card in its root directory (I've had an issue before where my SD card would not be seen or writable by certain devices if the root directory was 100% empty), before you copy any further files insert the SD card into the phone and use your recovery kernel(CWM/TWRP) to navigate to the root directory of the sd card and insure that you can in fact see the text file you created, POWER OFF THE PHONE(or alternatively unmount it in android terminal if possible) before removing or inserting the SD card(also always eject from the PC before removing, do not just rip it out off the usb slot/card reader), insert the SD card back into your PC/card reader and copy TWRP to the sd card.
03). Boot back into your current recovery and Install TWRP(if it's not already) you may prefer CWM but TWRP just causes people a lot less bugs in general.
04). Verify in the backup section of TRWP that you have explicitly selected external storage as the backup location and given the backup a name, as internal storage is selected by default, and you very well may not have enough free internal storage for the backup, regardless of whatever reasons you think you should.
05). Its probably a good idea to turn off md5 verification of the backup, I do this every time, the one time I did try to verify a backup with an md5 checksum it failed, I unchecked this option backed up restored to it and all was fine(and still is), also a good idea to uncheck md5 when installing roms/kernels/apk's as most don't have md5.
05). If the above does not work you probably have a bad SD card, try another and post back here.

There is
no external sd card in the phone. Just a 16g internal, and I've wiped pretty much everything so there shouldn't be a problem with room. I'll go out and buy an external and attempt to flash something.

Can't thank you enough for the post, I appreciate it. Parts if it are a little over my head (most of it actually) but I'll try and manage aha. I'm a little confused on step 1 in particular, how do I format the sd card to a computer? Is there a separate program I need that manages the phones memory temporarily through an external hard drive or...

I think I might have misunderstood your original question I apologize. Those instructions relate to an external SD card
Il if you are treating the phone plugged into a computer via USB the same way you would treat an external microsd card you are making a huge mistske/misconcepyipn ..
I am at work right now so I can't help further but at this point you need to.find and follow the instructions to restore the phone back.to its stock state and start from.fresh. I will post back tonight with instructions to do that and the best way to root and custom recovery currently when I get home

Thanks. The problem is that the phone boot loops so fast that I can't stick anything on the internal. And the one time it was on long enough to, the phone still reads that there's no files there. It's why I'm in this mess in the first place, I don't know why it's not recognizing any files

If you wiped everything then you might have wiped the partitions by accident. Get an ext sd card put flashable rom on that then boot into your custom recovery and try flashing the ROM through that

That seems like the best thing...won't the phone still rely on the internal sd card though and keep bootlooping?

Odining back to stock is prooobably your best bet. No need to go through repair fees or restocking fees etc. When you can fix it in house.

It should not rely on the internal. Download mode is deep down in the bootloader. If you borked that then jtag or sending it to samsung/asurion is the only option.

Try a stock rooted rom and see if it works. Because it should at least give you the boot.img in the rom so you might be able to get past the boot screen. Hopefully it will re partition your phone. Im not for sure but its worth a shot.

Hello to everyone I have a 16 gig class 10 SD card I'm trying to figure out why it takes forever to load my photos from my SD card has anyone had this problem what did you do to resolve this issue?

My personal experience. My note 2 got weird behavior started last week, no root and most updated tmobile. Turn on CPU load and I found sdcard process is keeping running all the time. And I could not correctly show note 2 storage detail, in the setting. It always show calculating, or could not show internal storage at all. After reset the phone from "Backup and reset", and reinstall everything, problem still the same. I trid factory reset from reboot into "BIOS" mode, reinstall everything again, the problem was gone. My theory is the internal flash got some error and need to format again to clear. FYI.
