Hey guys,
I removed my old 16gb micro sd card to make a copy for a new 128gb card on my pc. Once I put the same card back in, I started getting massive errors like the camera won't function, my wallpaper and nova launcher settings reverted to something kinda stock, but my icons were still in the same place. I can't get into my android settings "unfortunately the process com.android.settings has stopped" to attempt clear any caches. I did end up clearing my app caches using apps2sd but I'm stuck on what to do. I had xposed and g4 tweaksbox but disabled everything.
Edit: I just reset my phone using the power button options but I still can't get into settings, now I can't even re-enable developer options. Same problems as before.
I remember my sd card had some silly name of whatever_5888 but now it's not labeled at all, would that have something to do with it?
I'm running an LG G4 H812 rooted on Lollipop 5.1.1 no custom recovery. Damn Canadian version of this phone..
Thanks!
before you removed the micro sd, you did go into settings - storage - sd -card - unmount sd card ?
Did you unmount it or did you just power off and pull it is what i'm asking.
I didn't unmount, i turned off and removed the card.
It's alright though, I factory reset the phone using the power button trick while booting, but after I still couldn't get into the settings and the issues still were happening. So I reflashed back to stock and flashed the rooted system image. Man things were much simpler with the Nexus 5, I wouldn't have this Canadian variant which has a locked bootloader, so no custom recovery here..
It's all good! luckily I have root and titanium so all back to normal. I'll know next time to properly unmount, it just never happened to me before that's all.
Thanks mate

Exactly, as you've learned the hard way that not unmounting causes trouble. Was the micros adoptable storage or portable storage ?
Default wont allow adoptable but there are ways around that.

This is the part that amazes me, you had to reflash back to stock then the rooted image to fix what ? a removed microsd that the OS remembered was there but isn't any more and is unhappy.
My first thought would be to do operations on the card, not the phone. Since i learnt this lesson some time ago on JB i don't know if the following would work now or not.
- switch off the phone. remove the battery for a few seconds. re-insert sd card. Ensure its properly inserted. Then reseat battery. power up. If that does not work try the next.
- try to delete any items in the lost.dir folder on the sd card from another device.
- still not working, try to see if its viewable on a pc, copy everything possible, then format the card in an adroid device. Copy everything back to the card.
On JB you would get a micro SD card is damaged notification when reinserting a microsd that was removed without unmounting. If you had anything on the card, it showed up as empty but nothing was deleted, just the system forgot where everything was.

Everytime I reset my phone or use my phone as a usb device and then change back it changes the apps that are on my sd card icons. It changes them all to the generic android dude. Its kind of annoying. Im wondering if I just need to reload the rom or something but I thought id get a second opinion. Thanks!
Does another reboot fix the problem?
Since the apps (and therefore, their icons) are on the SD card, the phone can't reach the icons if the SD card is not available. When you first boot the phone, the SD card is checked, and is unavailable for a short period. I would assume this is why you see the issue after boot-up. Do they self-correct after the card check is done?
Same goes for mounting the SD to USB: it makes the SD card unavailable to the ROM.
Only one of my home-screen icons is SD dependent. When my phone first boots, it does not show the icon, but after the SD check is done, it refreshes to its proper state.

Rebooting did nothing. I reinstalled the ROM (Synergy) and the issue was solved. But thank you.
I have the same problem using JoelZ's 3D Rewind Rom. I've reinstalled a few times and still no luck. The icons do not appear after sd check. I had this problem on the Synergy Rom as well, but after a few re-boots, the would all appear.

Did you do a full wipe, or flash over top of the existing?

Okay, so. I have an HTC One M8, rooted, S-On, TWRP, whatever else. It was running just fine until yesterday or so, when I wanted to switch out an icon pack, but wanted to keep my stock launcher, so I found Unicon on the App Store, and downloaded it (along with the Minimal Hero/Hera Icon Pack, or whatever it was called). As soon as I installed it, I started having problems with my phone restarting randomly, and I disabled the Icon Pack in Unicon, and got rid of Unicon (disabling it in Xposed Installer and then uninstalling the app).
That didn't solve my problems, though. I managed to somehow keep the phone on after numerous restarts, but every time my phone was turned off, it went into the same constant restart cycle (where it restarts about a minute after it's booted up). I tried searching for ways to remedy the problem, ending up in the TWRP recovery, where I tried wiping the cache and the Dalvik cache, which didn't help. I also uninstalled Xposed Framework and before that, tried disabling all the Xposed modules, nothing helped.
As things stand now, I did a wipe on all the categories in TWRP (including cache, Dalvik cache, internal storage, system and data) and when I rebooted from recovery, my phone was stuck with the HTC boot logo. Now I'm just letting it sit on my bed, showing the boot logo, waiting for it to drain.
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: I did a factory reset (perhaps stupidly) and now, when I reboot it, it says "No OS is installed!". Since it's not showing up on my computer while in recovery, how should I proceed to flash the stock ROM?
when you wiped the system partition, you wiped the ROM.
You should put a stock ROM on your phone and flash it.
Follow one of the returning to stock guides.

Excuse my stupidity, but could you point me towards one of those? I was looking for that, but didn't really find anything helpful.
Also, I know how to flash a ROM in its simplest form, but my phone's not booting and I don't know how to get a ROM file onto the phone itself, because it doesn't show up in the computer when in recovery. How do I flash ROMs from the computer or whatever?

I'm sure the search tools on this forum work just as well for you as they do me. Or you could probably start at a sticky thread.
You could also search for "adb sideload" and "adb push".

I did, and they told me USB debugging must be turned On, which I can't do, since I can't boot the phone.

I might have missed this but did you do a recovery? Within TWRP you have the option of storing it on internal storage, or the sd card. If you did the sd card way, there might be hope. Just hold down power and volume up and when the screen goes dark, hold power down to get into recovery, then restore the backup. If it was on internal storage, its probably gone, and if you didnt make one, well..wouldnt an RUU fix that?
Also you did more then a plain factory reset...that would still keep the os etc installed..you wiped that sucker completely clean

I suggest you make use of the external SD card and a USB card reader.

Yeah, I know. I was idiotic. I'm just kind of a newb to the whole scene, and I panicked when my phone started acting up. It was stupid to wipe system too.
And yeah, I have an SD card and my computer has a reader for it. I can access my SD card, but how do I install something on my SD card from recovery? As far as I can see, it only lets me install form internal storage.

Take the SD card out and put it onto your computer, download a ROM and place it on SD Card. Insert card back into phone, boot into recovery and change location path to external SD card. There is an option for that.
Location where ROM is... of course.

There is, actually, no option for that. I got the ROM adb pushed to my phone and got it flashed, though, so it's all good now (despite the fact that I idiotically made myself lose all my internal storage data).
Anyway, thanks for the help!

within twrp...where it says internal storage after you tap backup,.. tap those words Internal Storage, it will bring up 3 options..Internal Storage..MicroSD..or OTG I believe..I know mine does..I had 2.7.1.0 and which ever was below it allow that option. Well just for future reference.. And btw...dont cut yourself down..We all make mistakes...thats why we come here..to learn and maybe help someone else

I know. I swear, I tried, didn't seem to work. Maybe something else's amiss elsewhere. In any case, I got it adb pushed to the internal storage, so it's all alright, phone's fine now. I'll look into the microSD thing, but I'm still glad I learned a bit more about Android in the process of recovering my device (because it's a path where most is yet untrodden for me).
And yeah, being on xda as such a newbie is sort of daunting, especially as I'm pretty impatient with people who don't understand as well something that I do, but I always hope for at least one paragon who helps, and helps with patience and friendliness (which I did get, so thank god).
Hey guys!
So I have a little problem with my C2005.
I've been using CM11 recently, but I decided to switch to stock and to swap external/internal. Everything worked fine for me until one day I woke up noticing my phone is shut down, and after restart the SD card was unable to load, awaring me as of "damaged". I put my SD to to PC and another phones and any other device is able to mount it.
I tried to format the card and reinstall the stock system to phone, but still nothing. :/
Any ideas?
Thanks!

are you ever check your memory card with software partition tool for your pc? just check is that your sd card still have active partition? if still have you still have a hope to recover that bro?
Try boot into custom recovery if visible there. You can partition, format sdcard because all tools available there.
My phone restarted itself yesterday and went into a continuous boot loop. I figured out that I could get the phone to restart if I removed the card. I need to get the stuff off the card and then format it so that I can re-use it in the phone. I purchased a micro sd card reader and plugged it into my windows 10 machine. It tells me that the card must be formatted before it can be used as it does not contain a recognizable file system.
Does anyone have any ideas on how/if I can get the stuff off the card? The phone will boot into bootloader with the card inserted so there may be a way to transfer the stuff to a computer that way??
It is a stock un-rooted phone and the sd card is formatted as internal memory.
Thanks. Any help would be so greatly appreciated.
as internal storage, the card can only by read from the phone itself, which means you have to somehow get into twrp.
I'm not rooted so I suppose that means I'm screwed?
rooting process does not need functional Android system start, besides you can always go to fastboot and do a
fastboot boot recovery.bin
which boots with twrp temporarily.
Same here!
I'm stock, unrooted and today (over night) the phone sucked off 50% the battery. When I tried to start it, it froze till i realized that it's an issue with the SD-Card. I did absolutely nothing before going to sleep and the SD-Card was always the internal memory. I can start the phone without the SD-Card an plug it in...it will be detected, but you can't even format it back to portable in the phone. And the phone without the data it needs to work properly is now useless - looks like a factory reset + throwing away the SD! DAMN!

I just ended up formatting my SD card in the computer, having the phone forget the SD card, putting the SD card in and formatting it in the phone. SD card Works. Obviously you lose everything on the card but I did not have to do a factory reset of the phone or did I have to discard the SD card.

nice to hear!
My SD is dead. PC won't format it, Laptop and Actioncam either. Maybe because it had a failure when I tried to format it in the phone while it had those strange issues.
Who knows?!
My SD Card SanDisk Extreme Pro 64gb (brand new) is not corrupted or anything it works perfectly fine from other devices. When i format the sd card as a adoptable storage it soft reboot or somehow like the sd card ejects itself randomly when i lock the screen (I think ejects triggers the soft reboot because I migrated the internal data and transfer all apps to sd card and somehow it affects the system too) example while im listening to music and I lock the screen then pause it using my headphone or when im not using it the device will soft reboot. (I also think that because i used vpn to install android pie update and installed the one with bugs) Tried factory reset and flash it back to v10.0.2.0 (Downloaded from Xiaomi official website) using fastboot and update to latest update but it didnt work. Pls Help me fix this.

You said you've migrated all the apps to the SD card which is formated as adoptable.
Did you try to move the apps back to internal memory to check if that's the issue?

Sorry to hear that. I personaly don't use adoptable storage so can't help more. Only thing that comes to mind is to try and clear the app data from apps that were on adoptable storage if moving back to internal memory.
Since the January update while charging the battery I get warnings that my SD card (formatted as portable storage) is corrupted. If I just reboot after the warning everything is fine again.

Do you have access to the data on the card while it's charging?
If you change USB options to e.g. MTP storage instead of charging, does it change anything?

Nope, after the corruption warning I can't access the SD card until I reboot and it only bugs when using the wall charger.

You could try to use a different charger (I know it's stupid but trying to eliminate all the small issues like that sometimes gives good results).
Waiting for another update might fix the issue if it's a ROM thing, naturaly if you want to wait.
Worst case scenario would be to try and rollback to a previous update (backup first).

I've had the same issue on both phones i bought. It randomly unmounts the adopted storage throughout the day. I've tried different cards but it's been an issue from the beginning and through every update. It seems like it doesn't have an issue as long as something is actively reading from the card, ie. music. However, I haven't tried clearing app data on the apps i moved to internal yet.
Wellp the february update did not fix this problem. Is there anyway to contact them to fix this problem for the next update?
