Has anyone ever soft or hard bricked your phone.(LG G3) Then realize your memory card isn't recognized by your phone..even after trying a different card.
Update: flashed Paranoid android 6.0.1 and my external card was recognized. Don't ask me how or why..but it works. Just glad it wasn't a hardware issue.

Yes - This is currently the only issue I am having with my newly acquired LS990.
I have had to go through various custom ROMS before settling with FULMICS stable, awesome ROM.
In the FULMICS TWEAKS app there is even an option under 'advanced' to 'fix internal/external sd card' but still my phone does not read the external sd.
I have tried slow reformatting the card in a pc with various different formats and even tried another card - still no luck here.
I am wondering if it could be something to do with the internal partitions or folder structures of the phone...?
I acquired this phone 'newly boxed' and soon found out that it must have 'fallen off a truck' somewhere as it had a patched official ROM to make it work globally, and then it bricked shortly after that.
I've spent hours on xda tweaking my phone and finally getting it to work quite well.
If anyone has any info on this SD CARD issue, please do tell!
Cheers and thanks xda!

OK Guys, I think somehow my sd card became corrupt. Anyways to make a long story short, I CANT get ALL my VERY important files off this sd card to put on another!! Does anyone know how to get these files off this card. It just keeps hanging and sometimes I get a an Error 0x80070057. PLEASE HELP!!
How have u tried to get to your sdcard? Computer? File manager? Taken it out of your phone? Have u googled that error?

Ya Ive taken it out of the phone know and Ive googled that error but its not really giving me any answers pertaining to this.
im pretty sure there is no way to recover that card...
0x80070057 looks like one of the memory banks is fouled up...
i know it stinks but, sd cards do fail sometimes, just like RAM in computers and hard drives...
Long story short, always make backups.

Thanks to EarlyMon.
Get a card reader for your comp. After a boot loop mine said it was corrupted and needed to be formatted. Plugged it into my MAC using my girls Moment. Said it was corrupted also but I took it out and put it back in while in usb mode and copied everything to my computer then formatted.

One more question, if I reformat this SD card can it be used again?. Or is it garbage and just don't use it?

Very helpful.
I've just purchased a used Verizon HTC Driod Incredible & started noticing something unusual about its memory capacity.
It was preloaded with Redemptive rEvolution 2.2 ROM & no matter what I did, I could not see nor access the Internal Phone Storage.
And the available Phone Memory is only 149Mb.
Is this normal? Please take a look at the screenshot I made using screencast.
I'm not convinced it is as the specs and what I see do not match.
From the Wiki:Memory:Flash 8GB + 1GB(748mb free)/RAM 512MBI've since reverted to the stock Android 2.2 ROM & it is still behaving the same way.
Does anyone know how I can restore access to the Internal Phone Storage?
Removing the 4Gb microSD card & restarting the phone does nothing to restore access to the Internal Phone Storage.
Please advise me.
Thanks!

That's weird that it isn't showing it, does it come up on your computer if you plug it in?

I would try a different Rom maybe? I show the correct amount on mine (running a stockish Rom-peanut).

I agree that it's weird...all I see when I connect it to my computer are two removable drives & one CD drive that was added.
All are empty & without any storage capacity.
This was with the SD card already ejected.
EMMC support?

I'm currently running the stock Verizon 3.26.605.1 ROM on it so I'm not sure which other stock ROM to load up.
Someone in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12810529&postcount=2 alluded to the fact that some ROM do not support emmc.
Any idea whether the stock roms support emmc?
It would be very strange if the stock roms do not or else they would never show the 8Gb internal storage in a stock phone.
How much internal phone storage & phone memory does your phone display?
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!!

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.

I just bought a brand new Samsung class 10 sdcard, and my phone always says it's corrupted. Twrp recognizes it fine, my computer does, but the OS does not. I keep trying to reformat it in settings but nothing changes, as soon as it finishes it says it's corrupted.
Any suggestions?

The card may not be broken, there is a known issue with the way htc devices format large cards.
Small corruptions will eventually lead to problems.
Use SD card formatter from the net, you'll need to do this on your pc. Don't format on your phone as it can cause problems. I had issues with an official, 128GB SanDisk card, since using that it's been fine.
I bought a Samsung Pro Plus UHS-1 32 GB card from Best Buy, don't see how I would've gotten a fake.
This same problem happened with my other sandisk 64gb card, and it was working fine, but I forgot what may have triggered the issue as it's been awhile.

I've tried formatting it with my PC, using the standard formater included with the OS on Windows. Like I said it's brand new. I'm going to go exchange it today but open the box in the store and try a different card just to be sure.
There have been a lot of posts about SD card problems in the LeeDrOiD thread. Try using a different kernel if you're on clumsy. ElementalX seems to work, and Clean Slate definitely does -- I'm using it myself. Also try to format exfat on the phone instead of on your PC.
Most likely it's not the card, as it seems to be an issue for many HTC 10 users.

That is not what I said mate. There is an application called SD formatter. Please try that before you send it back..

I just exchanged it for a sandisk card of the same specs, so it's definitely my phone as I am now having the same issue. I tried ElementalX and now I'm on the stock kernel, and no dice.

It has nothing to do with the kernel, it's the way the phone formats it. Use the app ive suggested and you'll be fine.

A hardware fault seems the least likely and most difficult diagnosis. I'd try a few more fixes at least, including dladz's suggestion.
Not an expert by any means -- I'm just summarizing what I saw elsewhere -- but there are a lot of posts about SD card problems and a few suggestions that there's a bug in the stock HTC kernel.

Huh. Well I tried CleanSlate and have the same issue. I'll try formatting it on my PC when I get home from work. This is just really frustrating, as I've never had a problem like this. Hopefully I don't have to exchange my phone.

Personally I would RUU to stock to test, and then install a new custom ROM if that didn't work -- can't think of anything more frustrating than having to exchange the phone! Good luck.
EDIT: Every solution I've come across has to do with the kernel or formatting the card on a PC. Make sure the kernel and the firmware are a good match, too.

Damn, well I guess I'll flash the RUU.
Funny thing is, is that I can use my SD card in twrp. I'll make a custom recovery.img and put that on the root of my sdcard to flash back twrp.

I suspect the software too. This started for me after updating to the latest OTA 1.91.617.1. It(Sandisk 128GB) worked fine prior to that.
I tried formatting on PC using the windows method and also the SDFormatter application with no luck. The card works fine in TWRP but doesnt as soon as I boot the phone(Stock OS). The same card works fine in an old HTC EVO 4G LTE and Galaxy S3.

I might just downgrade later on, this is ridiculous that this can happen. Gotta wait til after work.
When I got my HTC 10 unlocked sd cards worked fine and then I put the Verizon ruu on it a couple days later any SD card I tried showed corrupted but did not in twrp or in my other phone so I restored my phone to stock and they have worked fine since.
I'm having this same problem! My card was working just fine, but after I tried doing an OTA update on my rooted HTC10 every SD card I put in is somehow corrupt, despite working fine on every other device. Is there a fix?
Oh, restoring a backup before the error popped up fixed it.
