Unable to mount SD card in FreeX10 - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, I have searched the forum but it returned mostly irrelevant result.
I am having some problem mounting the SD card on the phone in FreeX10 Beta 4. I hope the following information may be useful in assisting;
Stock Build number: 2.1.A.0.435
Baseband Version: 2.1.54
Somehow, the SD card mounts correctly in stock OS but in FreeX10, it keep prompting me to mount SD card. Mounting the card in the notification bar or settings proved to be futile. Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Have you by any chance partitioned your SD card?
If that's the case, you need to format it into a single FAT32 partition again.

Yes I have had the same things, you have to unit your two partition there's no way to solve it. After unit your two partitions, reboot your phone, normally you will be access to your file.
After if you want you can separate again your SD card to watch if it work.

CM7 internal/external sd reading

Hi everyone,
I'm running CM7 Atrix CM Ba2tF non nightly build. I migrated over from gingerbread 2.3.6 and I'm unable to read my micro sd card when connected to the usb.
I've searched and followed the instructions telling me to go in to cm7 application settings and choose 'use internal storage' but this doesn't resolve the issue at all.
I don't want to have to switch back to gingerbread but I've been searching and found no solution that works. Please advise.

Hello.
You need to scroll down your notification bar, select the USB notification and select "Memory card access", by default it's set to charge only and many people over look that.
What you did with the option to use internal storage is unrelated to this, It simply changes the mount points for the internal and external SD cards.
Thanks for the response. I had forgot to mention that I've done that as well, the only drive that shows up as readable/writable is the internal flash of the phone, still making the external sd unreadable *shrug*

Can you access it from the phone it self? (Just making sure)
Have you partitioned the card via the recovery? Apps2sd or data2sd stuff, basicly is the file system on the card vfat or ext?
Can you access the card using a memory card reader?
Would you consider formatting the card (using the option in settings > storage) ?

Did you reboot the phone after selecting "Use Internal Storage"

I can access the card and its contents through file explorer. I did not partition the card through recovery, I had originally formatted it as fat32. I temporarily re-loaded the bell gingerbread recovery and the sd read just fine again.
I could reformat the card again, I'll just back up it's contents using my sd card reader.

If the format doesn't work then it could have been a bad flash. Backup everything like you were planning to and download the rom from the internet again just to be sure and re-flash.

[Q] My Xperia Neo is not detecting a 32GB SD card after I partition it for Link2SD

Dear Friends,
I currently have a 16GB memory card partitioned with a 2GB ext4 partition which is used by Link2SD. A couple of days ago I bought a SandDisk 32GB Class 4 memory card and partitioned it using MiniTool on Win 7 and created a 2 GB ext4 and the rest was FAT32.
I did it while the card was inserted into my Neo. Now, after reboot or so, the phone doesn't recognize the card.
What can be the reason behind this and could you provide any solution on this?
I would be very thankful to you. Thanks.
Try formatting using cwm recovery...
I formatted and partitioned my 32GB SD card several times, using MiniTool, with SD in phone. Never had any problems.
AFAIK both partitions should be primary. First FAT32, and second ext.

You would need a memory card reader for this. Put the memory card into card reader and then insert it into your pc. And format your memory card with allocation unit size as default. But your memory card will still remain partitioned.

no need not use a chip reader, i several time created 2nd partition on my 16GB micro SD SD card by connecting my phone into the PC. If you use "USB connectivity" as "Mass storage mode" we can mount SD into the PC and create another partition using minitool.
Try to create both partition FAT.

Thanks keekoo, the only thing that I may have missed would be that I did not make the ext partition primary. I am already partitioning and formatting the SD card as I type this with your advice. Hope it works.

THANKYOU SOO MUCH. This solution helped me get my xperia play's 16GB SD card mounting correctly. I had created the 2nd partition as logical instead of primary and I was wondering why it wasn't doing anything when putting it in my xperia.
I have been following several guides on how to partition my sd-card but everytime I end up with the phone looping at boot.
I have a xperia v with a 32 gb sd card. the card works but when I partition it to 2 new partitions the phone wont boot.
All help are welcome.

yes, when you using minitool partition wizard to create a new partition and dont forget to mark it as primary. then it can be recognized by your phone.

[Q] Can't keep SD card mounted, unmounts itself.

Just flashed my Bell MB860 to CM10 following an instruction guide I found on AndroidAuthority. It works great, I'm very happy to have Android 4 on a network that isn't going to support it.
But I can't mount my SD card anymore. I go to settings->storage-> and click mount SD card, and my notification bar first says "preparing SD card for use...", then it says "your SD card is now ready to safely remove". It unmounts it as fast as it can mount it. What the heck is going on here?
Thanks for any help in advance!
FIXED

Nevermind, fixed it. I had to reformat my SD card. Not sure how or why, but at some point in the ROM flashing process, it's partition table got corrupted. When I plugged the card into my computer, it was able to read the card's MFT and display the files, but it couldn't tell how much free space was available, it just said 0 bytes. Formatting appears to have fixed that problem. Good thing I backed it up before flashing.
Very weird.

Can't mount external sd card

Hello. When trying to flash my mini X android box, I used sd card from my sgs2. After that, I inserted the card to sgs2 and rebooted.
The telephone said "Corrupted card" and asked to format. However, it formatted internal sd card!! And it doesn't see the external one.
I've tried formatting external sd to fat32. No luck.
What should I do?

Well, this may sound stupid or strange, but what I couldn't do with gParted or Windows partition was easily done by putting sd-card to my Note 10.1
My problem is solved by now. The only thing that bothers me is that my internal sd is formatted and everything's lost. If anyone knows how to recover all data, please pm me
