Hello. I had my phone sitting by me, when I noticed it was stuck on the samsung boot screen. I figured no biggie, just reboot. But NO matter what I did it wouldn't get past. I booted into TWRP, only to find that it couldn't mount anything on the internal SD card and it said there was no OS. I then went to install a rom from my external SD card, and it was blank too. I had a few roms and other files on it.
I don't know how this could have happened. Could anyone give some insight? The rom I was, and will be going back to, is Blissrom.

My dinc is set up like this:
9.01 radio
.92 bootloader
I flashed a rom and then it said my sd card went bad. Tried flashing another rom and it problem persisted. As a last resort i tried to reformat my sd card with no luck. got an error. I then tried to flash through recovery and did a full wipe (my mistake for doing this) but cant flash another rom since the sd card it bad. When i restart it gets stuck at the splash screen.
I bought another sd card and placed a rom which i know works on it and it seemed to have installed fine, but now when i restart i get stuck at the splash screen like i did before.
Any ideas?
Maybe i need to find the original update.zip file from when i first rooted? My sd card is empty except for that rom i put on it.
I found it. Nope, didnt work. Maybe i need to flash a recovery, though i have none anymore.
In case someone else comes across the same problem, i fixed it.
The sd card was ruined. unable to reformat or anything. Luckily i back up my sd card recently so i transfered everything to my new sd card. Went into recover and did a recovery of an old backup.
Ok guys, I've tried to figure this out using other threads on the forum, but I've still come up with nothing!
I'm running cyanogen mod with clockwork recovery AFAIK. Bought the G2 on eBay already rooted, and everything has been working great until yesterday. All of a sudden the phone gives me the infamous "SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem." Argh! I've tried reformatting the card through the OS, and then it tells me to insert a new SD card. Ok, I reboot... annnnnd the same thing again. Next I tried mounting it through the OS. After it's done it tells me the card can't be mounted because it's probably corrupted. Let me just say I don't think that's the case because I was using it RIGHT before this started happening. When I try to connect through Windows and format it doesn't recognize any storage in the device.
So now I'm here. What the heck do I do, xda?! Is there something in the recovery menu I should use? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated, and if you need any more info please ask!
Bump for justice!

I have had the same stuff happen to me many times. Download SD formatter on your pc it finds the sdcard and formats it. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=sdformatter
Alright, now it's getting really bad. I attempted to format that card in the computer, but it actually did seem to be ****ed up, in that the computer saw the card once and then it was invisible. Ok, so I order a new 8GB microSD card, arrived today. I format the card using the above program, succesfully, throw it in the phone, and bam, SAME ****ING PROBLEM. What the ****? This is ****ing BULL****.
Now I'm considering re-flashing the phone, but that's a last resort option. Is there something that needs to be on the SD card for cyanogen/CWR for it to even work? I didn't think this was the case, but if it is, WHAT do I need to put on it?
Again, this is quite infuriating, so any help or direction is greatly appreciated.

This is what I would do. I would format the card on the computer to fat32 format. On the phone I would boot into recovery and select wipe data/factory reset, then still in recovery I would go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache, and then still in recovery I would go to mounts and storage and format system and format boot. Back on the computer I would re-download the ROM (what you have now may be corrupt) and place the zip on the newly formatted card. Then I would put the sd card in the phone and flash the ROM.
i got a big problem, or so it seems at the moment. i downloaded the new MIUI from qr code, hit install (through rom manager) and then unplugged it from the usb cord. so i think the sd card didn't mount (i'm not sure) but it went to bootloader when the screen came back on. where as normally it would install the rom, and then reboot. i can get to clockwork recovery, so it's not bricked or anything. when i hit reboot phone, it sends me back to bootloader. pull the battery, it sends me back to bootloader. what can i do here? i'm at a loss..ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!! thank you
If you're asking how to mount SD in recovery, its under "mounts and storage".
yeah i see that, but i'm not sure which one will work, without further getting myself in a bind. AND, i'm really not sure this is my problem. I'm just assuming... my main problem is figuring out why it won't reboot back to normal.
ah well, nevermind. i just restored a backup. i was hoping to not have to do that, as i lost some stuff.
So earlier, i wanted to format my SD card again and clear off some junk, so I moved everything to my computer and tried formatting with Settings>Storage Erase. However, that just hung up for a long time, so I booted into recovery and formatted the SD card from there.
That went fine, so I mounted the SD card in recovery and copied back my files. But when I restarted, my phone just goes to the bootloader menu. I cant boot back into the ROM anymore; only recovery / bootloader.
Did I mess something up? I do have a nandroid backup, but its a little old.
Thanks
EDIT: Also, when I choose Power Down from the bootloader, it brings the bootloader back up. I think I have to take the battery out if I actually, want it to stay off.
Ok, I need some help. I had my phone rooted and had CWMR installed. I installed a custom rom and everything was working great. However, I needed my my sd card for flashing a nook color. So I removed the SD card, copied all the files to my pc, then used the sd to succsesfully flash the nook. I then deleted all the old files from the sd card and recopied the old. I put the sd card back in the phone and powered it on. Now, I'm stuck on the lock screen and the screen just keeps turning on and off. The all buttons and the touch screen are unresponsive. What have I done and how do I get this fixed? If I try to call my phone it goes stright to vm. HEEEELP!!!
Have you tried re-formatting the SD card ?
Tried formatting just now. didn't work. Then i tried flashing through odin, now i have a yellow triangle when i turn the phone on....getting worse by the minute...
Have you tried taking the damn card out?
If you flashed a bootable disk image to that card I'm pretty sure you need the HP format tool (I think it was HP) to format it normally again. I could be wrong, but, I do know that I had a special tool to reformat my SDcard when I flashed a bootable disk image to boot my nook.
That yellow triangle doesn't necessarily mean anything bad, so, chill out. Take the card out and lets take it from there.
Also, if something in your /data was what caused your phone to be hosed and you did an ODIN flash but didn't do a factory reset (or "Calkulins format all" zip is perfect for this) you would have the same problem no matter how many things you flashed to /system.
