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.

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!

I have two cards. A Samsung 32GB class 10 and a Sandisk microSDXC ultra 64GB
Both cards were tried, both formatted in FAT32 as well as ExFat and tried sdformatter.
BUT my galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition with CND1 (Columbia Kit Kat) after some hours of use, loses the SD card.... It cannot see it until a couple of reboots.
Do you think its because of a bad flash? Should I try CND2?
Opinions please

If you are rooted , just install "Folder mount" , it will cure your ext. sd problem.

unfortunately im not rooted as i want to keep the warranty (already used it twice for screen and battery replacement)
I just flashed the US Kit kat via odin, did a factory reset and can only hope the problem goes away. Do you think it may be a hw fault? Anybody else had similar issues?
Thanks

I'm pretty sure that with kit kat you can't put stuff on a SD card anymore unless you use a SD fix.If you look around forum there is some information about it. I think you also need to be rooted but might be wrong about that. I think there is a app in market called SD fix.

Incorrect. You can use also with KitKat and unrooted as before. The only restriction is that downloaded apps can write only in their own app directory. And this all have nothing to do with the recognizion of the sd-card.

Until now, I didn't see that someone had a related problem.
I hope for you that it was a bad flash. Otherwise I would try to clean the caches and then a reflash but here also clean the cashes. And normally it is better to remove sd-cards before a flash but I also didn't do it.
I performed a factory reset, cleared cache, then flashed the US Kit Kat, again factory reset. Everything works... but after a 15 minute music listening or just out of the blue, the SD card (tried a Samsung formated FAT32) is not responding.
I don't think its a hardware issue, because this time under "storage" i can see the card. However I cannot play anything from it and if I unmount and re-mount it says that the file system is not supported or the card is damaged.
This is soooooo weird and disturbing....
I keep getting this.. Anyone knows of a fix

Depends. You might need to dirty flash. You might need a new SD card. You might need to remove xposed and test. No idea cause you gave no info.
I'm on stock with no root

I was using this SD card on my last phone Galaxy S4.. All I did is swapped my SD card to this phone G3.. 2 days later it started on & off..
Yeah mine did that to. I formatted it and it was good to go. Not saying it gonna fix your issue but it might
Hello everyone,
I just rooted my beloved G Pad, as I'm fed up with the SD card issue of unmounting, mounting, ejected, removed by itself.
I am running 4.4.2 stock - no ROM, stock but rooted.
Installed SD Fix, ran the app. Was good for one day and this morning - BAM! I noticed that message saying - card was unmounted improperly...
So - correct me if I am wrong but I thought rooting my G Pad and installing the SD Fix app should have addressed this.
Am I missing anything? Such an annoyance this SD card issue.
Appreciate any inputs.

SD Fix solves a permissions issue, not the unmounting/bad removal issue. In my case my bad removals dropped dramatically when I got a different sd card. However that fix doesn't work for everyone either. LG will tell you to factory reset, but please make sure to complain to their support line anyway since it might make them wake up to the issue and then try and address it.

Thanks Muiriddin for setting me straight with regards to SD Fix. :good:
I had replaced my SD card once and yes, it was not unmounting/mounting for about a month then BAM - dismounts, removals, etc, etc.
I have also called in LG Tech Support - they wanted me to ship my tab to them. The person I spoke said that they were unaware of the issue. I said, does this call make you aware of the issue now? Silence...LOL!!

So i need your help to flash a stable working rom on my SM-P900 tablet.
I have had it for a few years now and i bought from someone that had rooted it. Now i want to use my tab to review photography taken with my digital camera.
Unfortunately my tab is running an old version of Android, version 4.1.x.
Looking for a stable version that still keeps the pen functionality and that allows me to access an external sd card, not a micro sd card like the one you can insert into the tab but one that i can connect to the tab via a sd card readers.
Also a rom that keeps some of the original apps that came with the tab, like google play and the sketch app.
I appreciate your help and again my apologies For putting this here. Thanks.
Been running lineage on my P900 for over a year now and runs great.. Follow these instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=82570595
Use the first post to download the rom and gapps. Enjoy
Thanks for the reply, have you tried to connect an external sd card using an sd card reader? This is the main thing I want the tab to do, otherwise no point in going through everything

Just made a test for you on my P900 running on lineage-14.1-20200505-NIGHTLY-v1awifi.zip.
With an OTG adapter one works and the other one doesn't.
So it will depend on the type you've got.
Before you flash don't skip the notice that you need to install the lollipop bootloader before flashing the new TWRP.
So it can read external SD cards no issues?

As I wrote one of mine worked fine.
This is the type:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-USB-3...1f0d171adc:m:mXqAHno94_dwBASYwFtZyKQ&LH_BIN=1
The other one is very old and has a separate cable and mini USB input.
Might be the reason.
Can't give a guarantee on yours.
