Hello everyone...
I'm having an Xperia SL...
I was flashing a rom when this happened...
i got an error 7
so i mounted system
and when i pressed install from sdcard..
it said...no files found..
so i first fastbooted a kernel with TWRP...
it also showed empty and 25 gb free
and when i flashed stock ftf
it showed "Empty storage or unrecognizable file format" or somethin
so i fast booted a kernel with cwm to mount sd card..
when i mounted my sdcard to pc..it also asked me to format it...what should i do..?
Someone help...!!!
:crying:
PS- now i'm trying a memory card recovery software to backup my current files...and it shows that 6 gb is free out of 25 gb..
which is same as before what this happened..!!
which means memory card is not empty...it jus tgot corrupted...and in a weird way...
I have received this PM from @piyush95
as my sd card was damaged..
as i got no help...i just went on and formated it...
that fixed it..
So can you please close the thread...
Thanks

I flashed Clockworkmod Recovery for my phone for some quite time, and flashed several custom ROMs. I was running GingerICE 2.1 until I noticed that when I chose 'choose zip from SDcard', it doesn't read any .zip file on my phone. I tried re-flashing stock ROM and the stock recovery detected those .zip files fine until I flashed Clockworkmod Recovery again and noticed the same error. Now, I cannot flash any custom ROMs or any .zip files because those files are not detected.
Can someone point out if I did something wrong?
Try to find out weather GingerICE 2.1 do a SD Card - External SD Card swap?!
Have you try to "zip from external card"?
No, GingerICE does not swap internal and external SD cards..
As far as I remember, I flashed several ROMs, then back to GingerICE. I guess I flashed Beats Audio..perhaps that's the problem?
I tried copying the ROM files to the external SD card and they were detected very fine, though the files in the internal SD card were still not detected. :/
At least it is not a very concern now since I tried flashing stock ROM and push CWM using ADB (last time using Odin) and it detects all of my files fine, currently. But I will be glad if someone can figure out if I did anything wrong...well, just in case.
needya I had the same problem that you have.. I tried to fix it by reflashing varoius kernels but nothing, the only way was to format the SD.. now it work perfectly.. hope this can help you
edit.. I had not seen that you have already solved http://forum.xda-developers.com/editpost.php?do=editpost&p=24178941

Do you mean the Internal USB Storage/SD?? Format that??
Samsung almost always calls Internal SD "USB Storage"
and under Settings/Storage, again..."Format USB storage"
but, for External SD....Samsung refers "SD Card"....
first need to Unmount SD card
then Format SD Card
Always make sure to back-up all data on either USB Storage or SD Card before formatting, all data will be wiped!!!

As irishpancake said, did you mean the external SD card or the internal SD card?
Although it's solved, as I mentioned above, I'm glad that someone can actually give me a way to fix it in case it happens again.
yes, i forget it .. i've formatted the Internal SD card, the USB storage.. i've backupped all my photos and personal file an than i've formatted
(sorry for my english, i'm italian )

Have you formatted the sdcard to fat32?
sent from my android powered beast!

Some class 4 cards are not recognised. What class is yours?
i dont know...how do i find class f the card..its sandisk card that i bought..i m from india..also initially the card was working fine..after i made the partition this morning it stopped working...also card is mounting in clockwork mod recovery without any errors...so i guess theres no problem with the card..
P.S--if i revert back to non rooted stock HTC, will this be fine??

solved it finally...it was a simple step...i had to make a partition in the sd card through cwm and give the swap size as 0..finally its working..thanks for ur support guys!!
No Luck For Me
I believe it may just be a hardware issue I am having. But maybe someone can point me out to something helpful.
I put the card in, it is not recognized, by either the phone, or by CWM
With the phone on, and in 'Settings' -> 'SD & Phone Storage', the card does not appear. I slowly pull the card out, and 'Mount SD' & 'Erase SD Card' both go from unavailable (greyed out), to full on available and White for a split second. After that nothing...
It does this with 3 different cards. an 8G Class 4, a 2G Class 10, and a 2G Class 4
I've contacted HTC about it, but who knows when they'll get back to me. Anyone here know of a solution?
Try formatting the sdcard or reset phone.

Sorry. Tried that too. Multiple times

It's as if the contacts inside the phone are screwed up. Like I said, when I pull the card out of the phone, while in the settings, it recognizes it on the way out for a split second.
I've been trying for the last half-hour to try to get it right to that point where it flashes the 'mount' to white... but I must just have goofy thumbs, because I can't quite get it...
Following you I have lost all my datas from SD card

Hello !
I have a question for you guys.
I have bought a SD card to my phone. Total space is 7.39gb but although i have moved apps to the SD card there is still available space 7.35gb.
Then the phone can all of a sudden tell me that SD card is full ??
The phones storage is the following:
1.SD CARD
total space 7.39gb
available space 7.35gb
2. USB STORAGE
1.10gb
available space 590mb
3. SYSTEM STORAGE
available space 0.97gb
Is there something i can do ?
I really appreciate the help !
Are u in kitkat ??
Sorry i forgot to mention that my phone uses stock GB...

did u try mount/unmount sd card or a factory reset ??
I have formatted the phone but i have never formatted the internal memory or sd-card, should i maybe
I unmounted the sd-card , turned off the phone, restarted and put the sd-card back but it doesnt help or what should it do
Sorry my stupid questions but this is my first android so please be patient with me thanks
Maybe the problem is from the rom or check if ur sdcard is not protected in write (can be done on pc) if not u can format the phone ,the internal sd card and external sd card and if the problem occurs then u have to change the rom maybe it's time to jelly bean or even kitkat !! and I think u'll not have to upgrade ur rom because I think that formating all ( phone, int.sdcard ,ext.sdcard ) will solve the problem ...
I'm waiting for ur answer or if u decide to upgrade I can helpu then
Thanks for your reply !
How do i check if the sdcard is not protected in write ? I have an 8GB SanDisk Ultra card.
Another problem , i have had problem with moving pictures/videos to the SD-card so there have been pictures/videos in both the default storage and on the SD-card.
Now i managed to move them all to the SD-card with this link http://www.smartmobilephonesolution...res-samsung-android-smartphone-to-memory-card
Then i checked the default storage where i click the Gallery icon and they were still there so i deleted them all. Now they are all gone, also from the SD-card !
Greetings.
So here's the deal. Yesterday I installed Cyanogenmod 11 with Jelly Bean on my HTC Desire. The low internal memory problem bothered me very much. I heard there is a program/script that fools the phone into thinking your SD card is part of your internal memory so you can practically expand your internal storage. It is named something like this: INT2EXTV2+ something like that, I don't remember correctly. I partitioned my SD card with 999 MB ext4, 0 MB swap and the rest with FAT 32(all together 2GB). I rebooted into Clockwork Mod Recovery and chose install zip from sd card and installed this INT2EXTV2+, after it finished, i rebooted again and noticed my phone won't boot at all with sd card inserted(stuck at cyanogen mod logo animation). However, if I remove sd card, it boots without a problem. Is my SD card destroyed or what? How to boot the phone with sd card? I am a total noob regarding this so no hate please.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

So did u partition using clockwork mod? U shouldnt have done that because it isn't that reliable u should partition with 4ext recovery 1gb ext4 and the custom Rom you downloaded it should tell you how to activate the partition. What Rom are u using?

Cyanogenmod 11 with Android Jelly Bean. I tried to parition using AParted, but sometimes it would give me an error and a popup would come saying the SD is damaged. However, sometimes if I force the SD into the phone while it booted without it, it recognizes the SD. Ok I'll try using that.
