I can no longer write to my sdcard after updating to Marshmallow. My phone is completely stock (no S-OFF or root) and I took the update OTA. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!!
I couldn't play any music after the update. I restarted my phone and that didn't help. I unmounted the SD card and remounted. Upon remounting, I found out my SD card is now corrupt. Going to take it out and back up on the PC if I can before reformatting.
How is the sd card formatted? Marshmallow does change how it handles stuff. I couldn't play any of my Amazon music but just redownloaded it all and it was ok.

Running DamageControl 3.2.2. Used quixk boot to boot into recovery and did a nand backup. Upon rebooting the "preparing sd card" message won't go away. Been there for 30 min. Any idea? Is this normal?
Update. When in recovery it sees the zip files on my card...do obviously not a corrupt card. I'll sleep on it an see if its still there in the morning. Sent bug report to damageless.
doesnt sound normal, you try rebooting yet?
Yup. And unseating/reseating the card too.
you try it in another card reader? or another card in the phone? sorry for the basic support route, but youre not giving me much to go on here, did you get the first OTA update? it addressed issues with the sd card
Did the first ota update. Laying in bed so haven't tried card reader. It's not the card because recovery sees the .zip files on the card.
OK...on my pc now..card reader reads contents fine.
OK...so apparently it was something with the nandroid folder. I couldnt delete it from my SD card with my card reader. I also couldnt move it. I reformatted my card, to kill the folder, and dropped everything else back on to the card, and rebooted. It was up for about 10 seconds, then went away. Its odd, but Ive never had nandroid do that to me before.
I flashed the root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3 image the other night and performed a full factory reset in stock recovery. The 16GB external SD card I've been using for a couple weeks was working fine with TiBu Pro 5.7.2 on multiple ROMs (all JB-based, but on top of ICS firmware of course). Now, with the JB firmware underneath, TiBu appears to "lose" write access to /storage/extSdCard after a couple operations. I was able to restore a handful of APKs from my last backup (FrostyJB v10.1 TMO, with edited build.props), and then I had to force-stop the restore because it hung. When I went back to TiBu and checked the Backup Directory location in Prefs, it said it did not have write access to the directory. I have to unmount and remount the card in order to get the rest of the system to recognize it as writeable again after this (or reboot).
Other applications seem to work just fine with the extSdCard. I'm able to save photos to it, copy files via AFT (I have a Mac), and download via the browser to /storage/extSdCard/Download. Only TiBu seems to have problems. TiBu is able to read/write to the internal SD card with no problems, and I've been able to freeze/unfreeze applications and restore backups of call logs and messages (saved to Dropbox, not the external SD card) without issue, so I don't think it's a problem with TiBu's root permissions.
Anyone else seeing this?
Short of formatting the card with the JB image and testing again, does anyone have any suggestions?
Crap, looks like other apps are starting to have problems with the external SD card. I took it out and ran several copy/delete cycles via an SD card reader on my Mac without issue, so I don't think it's the card itself. I also had no issues with the card using the ICS firmware (even with JB ROMs on top of it).
I've edited the title of the thread. Is anyone have trouble with an external SD card in JB? I've tried formatting it, and that didn't appear to fix the issues.
Some more info. I found an old Class 4 2GB card laying around and TiBu and other apps seem to be able to read/write to it just fine (so far). The 16GB Class 10 card I was using, despite seeming to be fine according to my computer, doesn't work reliably with the phone since I updated to JB. Not sure if the speed of the card has anything to do with this, but is anyone else having trouble with Class 10 cards? If so, how big is your card?
One last update--I reformatted the 16GB Class 10 card using exFAT instead of FAT32. It seems to be happy with it so far. I was able to complete a couple of backups to it with TiBu. I will test it again periodically throughout the evening and report back.
Also, if it fails again later, I will remount the 2GB Class 4 card and do some periodic testing on that to see if it's a situation where things work immediately after mount, but then start failing later. If that's the case, does anyone have any ideas of how to start troubleshooting? Would logcat capture a filesystem being remounted read-only?
I had the same issue but I ended up flashing CWM then TWRP. Now TWRP can see my external and internal.

Thanks for the feedback, but I'm not talking about a recovery having problems with the external SD card. This is applications on the ROM itself.
So far tonight I've run several TiBu forced redo backups and taken several pictures, and they've all worked properly to the external SD card. The computer format to exFAT seems to have helped. I won't call the issue fixed until it works properly for a few days.

Hello, I am on an HTC One V running PACman ROM 15.3, with the kernel JmzPrimoC+.
I started having this problem a couple weeks ago. It would randomly unmount my SD card saying 'SD card unexpectedly removed'.
This started to happen more and more often until it would say that as soon as I put the SD card in.
I did a factory reset, which helped for about 5 minutes before it started happening again. Now, more recently, it started saying 'Damaged SD card. SD card is damaged. Try reformatting it.'
I put it in my computer (which doesn't show anything wrong with it), and did a full format. It didn't help at all.
This problem is happening with both my regularly used SD card (SanDisk Ultra® microSDHC™ UHS-I 32 GB (the red and grey one)), and my ordinary SD card (8 GB class 4 Kingston).
I don't think this can be a hardware problem because when I boot to recovery, TWRP recognizes it perfectly.
But I don't either see how its a software problem, because a factory reset should have helped...
Please help me, any help will be greatly appreciated.
Maybe its a bug in the rom?

Hhmmm...
Good idea. What other ROMs work with JmzPrimoC+ kernel? AOKP?

OK, update, now TWRP won't read the card! Either card!
Now I'm getting really nervous...
Does this mean it must be hardware?
Is there ANYTHING I can do now?
Please help!
Wow, I screwed up really bad.
I was gonna use TWRP to flash a new rom, so I did a factory reset, and then started flashing the rom.
But in middle of flashing the rom it was interrupted. So I rebooted, rereset, and then I realized... it's not reading my card.
I can boot to bootloader and recovery, but that's it. No OS. I'm screwed.
Is there ANYTHING I can do?
Is it possible to flash a rom over USB? Or SOMEHOW get my card working again?
Just enter recovery and use adb sideload to flash a ROM.

But I need an SD card in order to use ADB sideload!
It fails every time because
Code:
E:Unable to mount /sdcard
Is there ANY way to do this without an SD card?
OK, I was able to do it following this guide.
I flashed the latest version of PACman. Still rejecting my SD card though.
I guess it's a hardware issue. Too bad my warranty is void from bootloader unlock :\
Try to partition SD Card in recovery
I am facing same issue and I came across this thread while looking for solution. Here is what I tried. That resolved issue for five minutes and then damn! same issue again but someone can find possible fix using the info here.
HTC One V rooted, currently running MIUI 3.1.2 with JB 4.1.2
Sandisk 8 GB SD Card.
Firmware CWM Recovery
I was facing same issue even before I rooted my phone while Original HTC ICS 4.0 Firmware was installed. MY observation is the problem starts few months after you start using SD Card. (Insert a new SD card in your phone, it will work fine for days / months and then will start giving same error.
While I tried thousand time to remove SD card, clean slot, clean card and reinsert, it did not work. May be worked just once for few seconds. When I tried to connect phone to PC and browse SD card contents, the card was not detected.
Booted to recovery, tried to format card, not detected. Tried to mount SD card, not detected. Then tried to partition SD card in Advanced options in recovery. The available options are 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1024MB, 2048MB and 4096MB. Since my SD card is 8 GB, chose the largest option. Now got an option to choose SWAP partition size. Chose 256 MB. Next chose option fix permissions, you have to wait until you see message permissions fixed message on screen.
Now rebooted phone, and voila! It worked!! SD card with 3.94GB memory is detected. But what happened to my rest of 4 GB?
Tried many apps to manage SD card from Play store. Using an app called APart, was able to delete partitions on SD card and create new ones. It worked for few minutes and then again I got SD card unexpectedly removed message.
Does this info makes any sense? I am not a developer and do not know much into phones but someone who know might be able to help. Buying a new SD card is not an option here because its going to work temporarily.
Have you tried formatting the SD card with your computer?

Yes, tried formatting SD Card using computer. Works fine when connected using adapter. Not detected when phone is connected to computer.
Hello, I have a completely factory phone that I have never rooted or flashed. My phone all of a sudden cannot read my sd card and says I have to format it, I've pulled the battery out and restarted it, I've taken the sd card out and put it in my computer as well and my computer says there is an error and the card needs to be formatted. I would just do that except for the fact that I have probably 200 pics on my sd card that I would like to get off first. Would anyone no how I could recover the pics on my sd card or repair it so I don't have to format it.
I would appreciate any help solving this problem.
Thanks

I updated my phone to 6.0 and then rooted it via this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/root-twrp-marshmallow-d855-30b-t3286268
Now is says SD card corrupted. I tried various sd cards it always says the same. I tested the card on the pc/other phone and it works ! It also shows in TWRP. I also noticed in platform.xml, there were no permissions for sd card (write/read/access) so i added them, but its still the same.
Help !
actually now i've put in a 128MB card and it works :S. Any idea what could be wrong with the 64GB sandisk card ?
Nothing wrong. Each time you turn the phone off, if you have set the SD card as external memory, it will show up as corrupted. Just accept reformat and it will be ok.

Okay i formatted it with the phone and it still shows as corrupted, did the same on the pc. If i plug the card in samsung galaxy s 2 it works ...
Well, i formatted the card to Fat32 and it worked, seems like it doesn't support exFat. Great ...
Turns out hacerpermissivo was the problem, the root method.
@massivebanana
Dear friend, i'm also facing the same issue. You mentioned that the problem was with the root method. How did you manage to get around it? Did you have to unroot in order to get this fixed?
Cheers,

Well i "reinstalled" the os and didn't root it. Instead used the temporary root. If you want it rooted, downgrade to lolipop, root then upgrade to mm via the twrp method
