Nope
..this format option is in advanced, partition SD card, but if you can't, so try to format SD CARD with SD CARD READER in pc and install twrp 2.8.6.0....
but try flash again kernel or flash kernel via TWRP--> 2.8.6.0
Go back to CWM or TWRP older that 3.0.0-0 and wipe system/cache/data. If you can't wipe, the phone is doomed.

Or encrypted! Mine was like this after restarting my Xperia M :crying: :crying:
In the flashtools happens several errors and it disconnects the device I must have problems in MicroUSB! When possible, I will take you to a technical assistance but it will take a while ....

Right now there is no ROM installed on my phone because I just wiped my phone, but when I went to install a new ROM, it doesn't seem to recognize my external SD card. I tried 2 SD cards and neither of them work, but they work on my other phone. How can I fix this issue? I went to mount and it says "E: Unable to mount '/external_sd'.
Update twrp if available, if not try to reflash it and if it still doesn't work then try cwm

Thanks for the reply. Which method of installation would be the best? Odin? I only have access to recovery as far as I know.
Yes Odin

The latest TWRP doesn't seem to recognize my SD card either. Also both of them are saying that my device is not rooted and it asks if I want to fix root. I'm trying CWM now but it isn't finding anything either.
Edit: CWM says my device isn't rooted as well.
Edit 2: Flashed http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291679687 with Odin and when the phone boots up, it's stuck on the Samsung logo. Any thoughts?
Factory reset. Incompatible data probably causing boot hang.
This will wipe apps and data.
Thanks for the help everyone. I flashed back to stock and re-rooted. However it still won't read anything from the external SD. Does this mean the SD reader is broken?
Can you plug it into the computer? Does it see it there? If so what is the file system type? Can you format it?

Yep, the computer only sees the phone's harddrive, not the SD card. On my other phone, the SD card is working fine.
No, I mean plug the card into the computer. Not the phone. But if another device uses it ok, then you msy just need to reformat using the computer.

Reformat the card? I will try that. But I have two SD cards and neither work on my S3, and both work on my S4.
That tells me the cards are ok and something is probably wrong with the device then. If you format one card to fat32 and it still can't read it, its probably hardware.
@bjornturoque Here was my problem. Exactly like yours. I am BL unlocked, Rooted, TWRP 2.8.7. I am having a problem with the ext sd card not being read in TWRP. I have had ver 2.8.5 / 2.8.7 / 3.0.2 of TWRP and none of them will read the card. I have tried formatting the card with my Note4, GS 5, Tab S, and my PC using SD Card Formatter. Still getting the same result.
Here is what I did to fix it.
Install Xposed, Download Wanam Xposed, activate the module, open and go to security hacks and check the box for SDcard RW permission, then reboot.
I just did this to mine and it fixed my problem. Hope it works for ya.
Format SD-card via Windows (FAT32/Default Allocation).

No, doesn't work
I have a 128 GB SD with exFAT, it worked without problems in TWRP 3.0.2 recovery under CM12.1
Now I am on CM13 and beside the bluddy permission google-bug it works in the system but not anymore in TWRP 3.0.2 recovery.
I tried to fix the permissions to write to external sd (this 128 GB sd) by adding stuff to the /data/system/packages.xml file, see this post.
But I didn't change the wrong thing I am pretty sure and doubt that this is related, as TWRP comes without using this file, I guess.
I flashed 3.0.2 again with Odin, no change.
Fact is, that I installed CM13 with another SD-card, a 64 GB FAT32, not this one. Maybe it never worked under CM13. But anyway, what has TWRP to do with CM13 and its permissions? TWRP is previous to any CM system, which is not running at TWRP times.
What could that be?
I flashed now CWRM v6.0.4.7 (ClockworkMod Recovery) but the problem persists:
E: Can't mount /storage/sdcard1
Error mounting /storage/sdcard1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What is it? The sdcard is working flawlessly in the running system and another FAT32 sdcard works in TWRP. What do I miss here?
Is it that TWRP and CWM doesn't know exFAT?
I think to be quite sure that this was working, I have exFAT since a while now.

Hi guys, I was trying to partitionate my sdcard to get a bigger /data space.
After a try, I decided to get me Sdcard back to previous state...
0.mounted usb to my pc.
1. formatted in fat32 format, as primary type with "minitool partition wizard ..."
3. umount and restart the phone, surprised my partition cannot be mounted yet and it's not recognized on my system.
So... Here comes the dispair... I erased all my phone stuff, format and delete all sort of things but /sdcard cannot be mounted...
After that I'm charging the phone right now on recovery mode, later I'm gonna try to install Ruu but I don't have the latest, only the previous... Is that any problem??
Tks guys!!

So, I have an N7100. I have rooted my phone a few times. The last time was over a year ago and it worked fine. Yesterday, suddenly (I haven't attempted to flash anything) it restarted on its own and won't boot. I tried to go into the TWRP recovery I had installed over a year ago, but TWRP will only load for a second and then disappear and the phone would restart again and go into the bootloop. As a result, I can't wipe cache partition.
I can confirm that I can connect successfully to ODIN and flash a different version of TWRP. I have failed to flash CWM so far... maybe I couldn't find a correct version since my phone has knox???
I tried flashing a different kernel, but that didn't work either. Do I need a specific kernel?
The only thing I need to do is recover my files, whether it is through recovering the phone, or accessing the internal storage.
Can someone please help me? I don't want to do a complete wipe.
And in case this is relevant, my ROM is the custom OMEGA rom, I'm not sure which version though. Either 31, or 26, which is either for android 4.3 or 4.4.2.
Thanks
Hey,
I have the same problem, the phone just restarted on it's own yesterday, restarted again and is now stuck at the bootlogo.
Wiping Cache and Dalvik on it's own doesn't suffice, Wiping the system partition too (TWRP) gets the phone to boot, but it will restart again after a couple of minutes, again stuck at the boot logo.
I'm using the limbean ROM.
shadnixx, wiping the system partition does not mean that you're going to loose your data - you should try that, after the factory reset the phone is usable for a couple of minutes, I will now try to flash a newer ROM and gapps, maybe the problem will go away with that.

Thanks for replying. I can't wipe the partition. That requires that I get into recovery, right? I can't even get into recovery. TWRP loads for just 1 second and then the phone reboots.

@shadnixx Well use every possible way to flash and enter custom recovery. Try Philz, TWRP, CWM, everything...
If everything fails you'lll have to reflash Stock ROM using Odin. I've heard is wipes data but not internal storage but I'm not sure and don't balme me if it happens. Search xda a little.
See these threads: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583588

If that fails then the phone has hardware damage I think. Needs to go to service.

Thanks for your reply. That's what I'm trying to do. One question... do I have to have a specific CWM version that is compatible with my ROM?
Progress
OK, while flashing TWRP failed to help, flashing Philz Touch enabled me to get into recovery. I was able to mount the external SD card and browse the files, but the real problem is with the internal storage, since the SD card is removable. I couldn't manage to mount it. Can someone help with that?
Wiping the cache partition didn't help either.
You tried different tar versions of twrp?
What is the error message in Odin when trying to flash twrp?
Tried flashing twrp with different USB cables and USB ports?

I'm sad to report, after I wiped the cache and restarted my phone, Philz would behave like TWRP did, which is to load for 1 second then reboot. Yes, I tried 4 different versions of TWRP, same result. Odin doesn't give any errors. It says that flashing was successful. Tried different cables and ports too, yes.
Possible power button or battery problem?

Don't think so. I just replaced the battery... still same problem. And when I enter Odin "Download" mode, it doesn't keep restarting, so I don't think it's the power button.
I got a small update though...
Flashed another version of philz, which works every time I boot to recovery. A few problems though...
1. I can wipe cache partition, no problem. But When I try to wipe Dalvik, the phone reboots as soon as I try.
2. Aroma file explorer doesn't show any files.
3. I can mount external SD, but I can't mount internal storage
4. When using ADB, it could finally initiate pulling files from the internal storage (or that's what it appears to be doing), but only while on recovery mode. A few seconds after it says "listing files" or something, the phone reboots and the ADB operation aborts. It doesn't behave like this when I access other sections of philz recovery.
Any thoughts?
Another small update...
While using philz, I clicked the "install zip from sdcard" and it showed my folders. I think my files are intact, but I guess I can't be certain.
Small update again...
I flashed Aroma File Explorer from Philz, I managed to enter my internal storage browse around for a bit, but then the phone rebooted again. I tried to repeat so I could copy my internal storage, but now my internal storage says symlink error.

Listen up - Transfer any ROM to your external SD card, touchwiz based to avoid any complications if you can.
When you get into recovery (at least on TWRP 3 on my Galaxy Note 2 LTE this works) you can connect your phone to PC and transfer all the files, it just gets recognised.
If that fails then wipe /data and /cache partition and see if it boots. If that fails/succeeds then try to flash new ROM and wipe /data and see if it will boot. Data is not the same as internalSD. Data is your apps and settings, you can reinstall that later. InternalSD is your pictures and all. You want your pictures, not your apps, right? It is different.
But who knows what happened here. Malware? Corrupt partition? Hardware failure of some kind? Don't blame me if flashing a new ROM breakes everything even more.
