[Q] sdcard damaged after using usb mass storage - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

So I am using the infamous v4 Rom and I have been happy with it. I used the usb mass storage enabler app for the first time. After transferring my fines, I ejected the sd card and disconnected the phone. I then switched the phone back to mtp mode. This was when all the problems started. Now my apps can't find my sdcard but the es file explorer and gallery can see the sdcard fine. When I unmount the sdcard and remount it, I will get the message sd card damaged try reformatting it. I did a full reformat, not the quick one. Still says damaged when I mount it. Doesn't make sense that the file explorer and my computer sees the card fine but some apps says the card is missing.

What did you format the card too? FAT32?

yes, i formatted it as fat32

Odd SD Card Issue

I am running bakedsnack 1.5, I also have a theme.
This problem started back before I was rooted.
First sign of issues was when I would move a app to the SD card it would give me a error, can't remember the error something like SD card unreachable. I would then hit move to SD card again and it would move.
Today I lost all my apps that were mounting on the SD card.
I can view the SD card with astro viewer.
My phone will charge when plugged into a computer and I can use adb to connect to the phone.
I can download from the market but it gets stuck on installing
One more thing, when i try to unmount my card in settings -> SD & phone storage -> unmount SD card it gives me a error and "Activity SD & phone storage (in application settings) is not responding"
Does anyone have any ideas what might be going on, bad SD card?
I did a search and nothing here really applies.
Thanks for helping a newbie
That happened to me one time when I used the safely remove USB device option in Windows. To fix it, with the phone connected to PC via USB, boot into recovery. There would be an option for USB-MS (USB Mass Storage) - toggle that on. Once you see Windows recognize your sd card as removable storage, toggle USB-MS off.

no sd card after flashing ics

yesterday i flashed ics on my a100
i followed the instructions here and it worked
then I did a factory data reset and rooted my a100.
but now the problem:
when I connect my tablet to the pc, I see the internal storage and the sd card. on my a100 I see the internal storage and the sd card, too. but the sd card shows not the correct data. for example I have two videos on the sd card, but can't see them. the same with apk's. when I put them on the internal storage, I can see them with a file explorer(I tried different...ever the same). but the sd card is recognized, when I unmount and mount it.
can someone help me?
EDIT: I formatted my sd card. in the settings it shows that the sd card ist empty. but when I start a file explorer, it shows folders on the sd card. it seems like the file explorer apps didn't update the sd card file system??
Its worth noting that file explorer apps from the market default to /mnt/sdcard which is in fact your internal storage, if using astro you can navigate to /mnt/external_sdcard which is in fact your SD card

[Q] My External Micro SD card is locked up! Can't write to it (android 4.3)

I'm not sure if this is related to the 4.3 bug or not but I have the tmobile galaxy s4 and I can no longer modify anything on my external sd card. Everything still reads fine but it seems alot slower than before.
I tried using es file manager to delete/write , but it dosen't work. It will say deleted successfully but when i refresh, it reappears. When i try to create a new file it says "sorry, operation failed"
I also checked the permissions file and it says it has r/w access for external storage.
Is my card just dying or corrupted or what? How can I fix this?
I just want to be able to use it again.
I also tried formatting. When i do it on the phone it just freezes. When I do it on the pc, it says write protected.
I tried gparted as well but it hangs during detection.
This is the default micro sd card that came with the phone...

Remove your external microSD and plug it into a card reader and or the adapter which came
with the card then plug it into your computer.
Make an empty folder on desktop of computer and copy all files and folders from the microsd
card into the empty folder.
Format your external microsd using this windows utility and copy all the files/folders back onto
the card from your computer and replace it into your phone.
Here is the direct download link for this fat32 formatter which is a windows utility:

[Q] sd card not mounting for anyone else?

I've been having problems with the external sd card, when i restart it shows 'sd card inserted' in the notification panel but under storage the only options are mount sd and erase sd. Its a generic 128gb sd which i formatted on the computer and the phone, when i hit mount sd it just shows the 'sd card inserted' again but doesn't actually mount. It only works if i format it in the phone and only until a restart. The card works perfectly on my computer. Anyone else having this issue or have a solution, there has to be something quicker than copy, re format and copy back the files
what type of computer did you format it on? in the past I had issues with formatting my SD cards on windows. I either had to format with the phone, a mac, or a linux pc.
I have not had the issue you are describing, but my card does unmount sometimes and then remounts immediately after.
Windows pc, but i reformatted it on the after it didn't mount, could it be the sd card? It was 14$ on ebay but the sellers feedback was 100% for the cards.
I'm wondering if it might be a problem with the reader or the firmware since it reads on the pc just fine.

I actually had a 64GB SanDisk MicroSD card unmount while in use on my G3 then I could never use it again. I'd try to format it and it'd act like it did but the same files/folders were there. I could no longer write to it. I need to still contact SanDisk about it to see if I can get a replacement.
You need to reformat it into NTFS format.
Then try to mount it. This is the case for anything 64g or higher.

potentional fix
I had this problem with my LGG3 not mounting the SD card, I found that taking putting the SD card into your pc/laptlaptop, copy over pictures and music you wish to keep and format it as a FAT32 this worked for me however the Android files on the card had to be deleted I think on of them was corrupting the SD card as it would show randomly on my phone.
Hope this helps

External SD Card not detected with MM

I upgraded my T700 to stock 6.01 Marshmallow today. I installed TWRP and rooted with SuperSU. Everything looks good, except that my external SD card is not being detected by the Tab S. This card has been working fine for months.
I tried using a different, freshly formatted card, but it's detected either. When I go to Settings>Storage I see the internal card, but no indication of the external card. If I boot to TWRP, the card shows up and I can browse through the files.
After removing and reinserting both cards and trying everything I can think up, I'm out of options. Should I try using Root Explorer to create a mount point and force the external card to mount? What is the mount point name used by Marshmallow?
Any other suggestions??
Maybe the card file system has been corrupted some how, if you have a notebook and an microsd adaptor format it to fat32 then see if it is detected, if it is detected format it on your tab-s before using it.
John.
The original SD Card reads fine on my desktop PC. I formatted a different card as fat32 and put it in the S Tab, but it doesn't see it. As I said, when I booted into TWRP the card is recognized. I'm thinking that I might flash MM again and see if that makes a difference.
OK, I flashed 6.01 again and this time it's working ok. I think the problem before is that I was using the FolderMount app and when I started it, it deleted a mount point. Everything looks good now.
