I'm currently using the goodness rom, and trying to switch over to Macks Allstar MA7 rom. Everything goes well except everything on my SD card isn't being read. Any music apps show that I have no music(all saved to my sd card). The gallery only shows the pictures that I have saved on the phone itself. But if I use a file explorer, it shows everything is still there.
Can someone help me figure this out? Thanks.
BTW, I've tried flashing the rom both from my phone and from the SD card with the same results.

Does anyone have the problem where the phone is able to read and write to the SD card, but then all of the sudden, it's not able to?
I have an intermittent problem that happens at least once a day where the phone suddenly is unable to read the card. When I start up the camera app, it says that it has insufficient permissions to write to the card. When this happens, I am not able to play music from the card or view pictures/videos from the card.
Once I reset the phone, it is able to read and write to the card again... I have tried the 'SD card mounting' fix in the development forum, but it did not solve the issue.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
I've got a rooted stock froyo 2.2 odexed. i've tried the stock kernel, netarchy's kernel, and kingklick's kernel with all the same problem...
One thing I did do is backed up my apps with my backup pro, installed froyo, and restored some of the apps... now when i go into appbrain, it shows updates downloading, but they never progress... handcent, shazam....
Thanks in advance...
Alright, I'm getting a notification that says Blank SD card in CM7, and on my sense ROM it said phone storage not found. Under memory in settings, it also says /mnt/emmc is not found, and my music is missing. I think this is because I loaded my own ROM that had apps to ext and a couple other storage features in it. If I take all my folders off my sd card, format it to fat32 and put them all back on, will I lose any functionality? Also, is there any other way to fix this?

Backup what you have on your sd card to your computer and then format the card to what you need. Then, put everything from your backup back on to the sd card and you should be fine.

This happened to me once on CM7 as well...and unfortunately I lost everything.
It wasnt the SD Card though - I dont even think it was the emmc. It was some odd error that I can only fix by doing a RUU.
And even then I had to factory wipe it through the RUU like 3 times.
Wasnt a fun experience...almost took it back to the Verizon Store.
CM 7, as do all AOSP roms, interacts with sd during boot for stuff it needs. As such, sd reformat prior to AOSP rom boot will result in failure, bootloop among the issues. So, don't do that.
If sd fails/failed already, your rom won't boot anyway, so you have to download a sense rom like Virtuous, boot it, and go from there.

On the gingerbread leak is when it happened, and it said phone storage not found. It wouldn't let me install Apps though.

hey guys i have the custom rom paranoid android for my device but there seems to b a bug and i want to fix it but idk how some apps cant pick up my exsdcard for example the camera app saves pictures to internal and apollo and google play doesn't search my music and its bugging me there was an update in which i tought it will fix the problem but no its still there how can i fix this help me plzzzzzz. i have use media rescaner and all those apps one that worked for me was ics binder but my phone ran out of batery and when i rebooted the problem started happening again please help me.
I'm having the same problem as can't save camera photos to the external SD card. There is a setting in the camera app that says "store" not sure what it means but it doesn't seem to change anything.
One other thing I would like to confirm is under system settings is the "storage" setting in the prior ICS version you could format the external SD Card. Here format SD Card formats the internal SD Card. Can you format the external SD Card from settings? Not what I was expecting, guess that's why I backed everything up.
I'm running Paranoid 4.1.2 and it is fantastic and fast. I was on ICS previously and had these settings before.
Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but either way Paranoid is awesome!
Thanks for your advice.
Save camera pics to external Sd card
I guess tagging onto 2 week old thread with no responses was not the best idea
Looks like saving camera pics to external sd card is not an option. I even downloaded
Camera from ver. 4.2, same thing. Only solution I can make work is use a different camera app
than google's.
Still not sure why 4.1.2 does not have an option to format the external sd card just the internal.
Still like Paranoid, seems very stable.
i've been running task&ktoonsez rom for a while now, and i am having issue with the rom not being able to us the SD card as the default storage. For that matter, i cant even move apps over to the SD card. ive done a full format on the card from windows, thinking that the card had become corrupt.
Just to make sure it wasnt the rom i flashed back to stock, and its not working correctly there. im honestly not sure WTF im doing wrong/ what the issue is.
The card shows up, but with no option to format, and no systems see it as an SD card (ie apps wont install, downloads arent going to the sd card, the camera app wont let me save to the card) I can access the card though a file manager like astro,
anyways, I've been running custom roms for almost 2 years now (since the gsII came out) and ive never had a problem i couldnt figure out.
I searched for quite a while for this issue on the forums, but cant find anything, if there already is a posted fix for this, im sorry, but couldnt find it. if there are any other details i can provide please let me know.
Hey everyone, pretty much first serious post. Hope someone can help me with it.
I have an At&t Galaxy s3, running the latest aokp rom, by task 650, its up to android 4.3
my issue is that i can add files to my phones internal sd card and its external sd card, but once i restart, the files are gone. all my files that i added even as long as a week or two ago are still there, even some things that i delete return once i reboot. i can move files from my internal sd card to the external and they stay after a reboot and vice versa. so i know that things can be added. but for some reason when i transfer music through windows file explorer to either sd card as soon as i reboot those files are gone. when i xfer the files it does say that "your device might not be able to play or view this file."
i can even play the music for a while after copying it as long as i don't restart, eventually it starts to go into hyperdrive so its a second of squiggles then goes to next song.
even if i transfer files through a wifi based app like air droid or just using an app to copying over a shared network the same thing happens.
i don't think that the internal sd card or external are corrupt because i can move files back and forth as long as they were on the device originally.
i don't know if i should reformat my external sd card because i doubt it would fix it then i'd be out of all my music.
really hoping someone can help me,
this was happening before i upgraded to 4.3 having done that only a day or two ago and it has been happening for at least a couple weeks, and it worked on the 4.2 version i had because i took me a couple months to upgrade to 4.3 and in that time i did add files to the internal and external.
last thing to mention, with a torrent phone app when i download files they also dissappear.
hope someone can help me with this, and that it's simple.
i'd rather feel dumb than it be something complicated.
thanks for any and all help yall can give.
update
I did a full clean install of the aokp rom i'm on wiiping everything instead of just the dalvik cache and cache, which normally works fine.
now the internal sd card retains the files i'm adding to it, even after a couple reboots. which is a step up. but the external still won't let me add files to it, even if i copy them over from my internal to the external using astro file manager or es file explorer. on restart files are gone from the external. i don't think that the external sd card is corrupt but i'm copying all the file off of it right now, then plan to reformat. not sure how i'll go about it, but i really hope it works.
this is really frustrating, its a 64gb external micro sd card that has always worked perfectly.
any input at all would be a great help.
update 2
my external sd card is the problem then i guess, because i put it in my brothers phone, did reformat, and it says reformating deleting all data. then remounts it.
shows exact same amount of available space and storage, stuck at 42.2gb or whatever, if i go into the sd card manually and delete files as soon as i reboot the phone all the files are back.
is there anyway to fix this?
