Hello, I have updated to Cyanogenmod 7.1.0. (stable version) and installed gapps on my phone (HTC Legend, rooted) but after that android market didn't work. So I decided to reinstall gapps with recovery thing (vol. down + power button) and after that some strange artefacts started over phone's screen. So, when I power up phone it behaves normally but I can't access my SD card (goldcard) and in settings > storage > is says that "total space" and "available space" are unavailable and I can't press mount SD. When i try to mount my phone via USB cable on pc, only USB debugging pops up and i can't mount my internal or SD card storage. After some time even USB debugger is stopping to work.
I tried to factory reset it but it didn't help. When I plug in my phone i get errors like "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" or "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". Also, when i shut down my legend and power up it , the first "htc" white screen keeps blinking untill i plug usb cable and then i can normally enter in ROM.
Can you please help me with my problem or do you think that my phone became a brick?
Your phone is not bricked. Have you tried flashing a new rom?
I can't because i don't have access to my SD memory card and ROM Manager requires SD card. If you know how to flash ROM without memory card plz explain it to me, i would me very grateful.

What do you mean you don't have access to your sd card? Have you tried placing it in the card reader on your PC?
Yes, i have placed my SD card in USB card reader on PC and the card is working normally. But when I try to put my SD card in phone, phone won't read it and in Settings > Storage > under SD card tab it says that "Total space" and "Available space" are unavailable, "Mount sd card" is gray (I cannot click it) and "Erase SD card" is pressable but it doesn't do anything.

Have you tried to make a ext partition before this SD unavailable to mount happens?
If yes, or if no,
Try to format your SD to fat 32 once again.
Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
I have tried 3 times but nothing and when I put some other SD card it is the same ****.
It's working!!!!!!!!!!
"Fix SD
Press & hold vol down and power on the phone
Select fastboot by pressing the power button
Make sure in device manager the driver is installed(Win 7 x64 downloaded them automatically)
Open command prompt like you would to use ADB and type
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot reboot
That should fix your SD card not being detected."
Guys, thanks for help anyway!!

Hi guys,
I have had an Atrix since a few months, and everything has been working fine. However, since the last few days when I connect the phone to my computer over USB, the external 16 Gig SD card shows up as a drive, but when I click on the other drive which is supposed to be the internal SD card, it says "Please insert a disk into Removable Disk (D" in Windows.
Phone: Sim-unlocked AT&T Atrix, rooted, Gingerblur 4.5
Computer: Windows 7 (x64) with drivers installed
It has worked many many times in the past, and I haven't made any recent changes to the phone which are related to this in any way.
I have tried:
1. Changing USB connection mode between all 4 options, include USB Mass Storage
2. Restarting the computer
3. Restarting the phone
4. Switching on/off USB Debugging mode
5. Manually unmounting the "Settings" -> "SD card & phone storage settings" -> "Unmount internal phone storage"
6. Reinstalling the drivers - got it from here because the gitbrew link seems down
In fact I am able to view both /sdcard and /sdcard-ext using Root Explorer on the phone, so I don't think the internal memory is corrupt in anyway.
I've searched both xda and atrixforums, but not found a working answer to it.
Any suggestions? This is very frustrating.
Regards,
Varun
My phone has done this on occasion but a phone reboot fixed it.
Tried many reboots, but not working. Are there any filesystem integrity checks I could do via adb?

This may seem a silly question, but you don't mention doing it. Did you mount the internal sdcard after you unmounted it? Did you unmount while connected to your computer or when not connected?
Were you accessing your internal sdcard with any apps, or did you have it open in root explorer for example when you connected it to your computer? This can mess up the umounting procedure when you plug into USB.
Have you tried on another computer?
I've looked at the other threads on this but, none seem to match my problem.
I've a 16 GB MicroSD card in my S2. S2 is not-rooted running stock ROM.
This card used to mount ok. It no longer will.
In Settings->Storage, space reported is unavailable (because it's not mounted).
I can run Format SD Card option which returns quickly.
Running Mount SD Card, it's says Mount in Progress but it never completes.
If I put the card into an SD card reader, it looks fine. FAT32 formatted card, with approx 16GB available.
Any ideas?

I had similar problems with two other sd cards.
First running without any problem, and then suddenly the message appeared that the sd card is empty or not connected.
In both cases, the sd card was broken.
But in my cases, the sd card could not be used in a USB adapter by PC either.
As the sd cards were nearly new, I could make a warranty replacement and now I have got a card which works fine for about two months.
You can check this, by switching the sd card into another phone.
And use another sd card in your phone.
If the other card will work in your phone and your sd card will have issues in the other phone too, replace the broken sd card.
Good luck !
P.S.: You should format the sd card with your phone and not by your PC.
Other MicroSD Card works

Thanks for the response. I should have said that another 4GB card worked in the phone ok. This did lead me to think it was a card problem. However, he fact it works via a PC indicates otherwise.
Will try it in another phone.
Just throw it away?
Has anyone seen this before i.e. not working in phone but ok in SD reader?
If so, did you manage to resurrect it? Or is it time to throw it out?

Try this. Settings>Application>Development
Check usb debugging.
Connect phone to pc. In notification bar click "usb connected" message, and click on "connect usb storage" button. You won't see the sd card mounted in pc!
Now disconnect phone, reboot. It might mount
See if there's any luck.
Since you're not rooted, solutions are quite limited in numbers

Tried disconnecting and rebooting in 2 senses of the word
1. Hitting the disconnect usb storage button on screen
2. unplugging the usb cable.
Unfortunately, neither worked.
i'm having this problem now both on internal and external sdcard... it wont even mount on recovery... i'll try see if i can this done.. Windows damages everything.. i made a cleanup of the sdcard and a format..
Hey All,
I made the mistake of "recovering" my external 32GB microSD card on my Galaxy SII in OSX Disk Utility to try to make it a Mountain Lion Disk image.
Now it doesn't appear when I enable USB file transfers, and when I press "Mount USB" in System->Storage it says "Preparing SD card" but nothing happens.
Is there any way to recover this microSD card or is it bricked? I've tried booting in to CWM recovery and formatting /emmc, but to no avail.
Thanks!
What if you format it as fat32 on the computer?

You have to plug it back into the mac, and do the following:
run the disk tool from finder menu -> utilities
select the sdcard in the disk tool, choose partition , choose settings on there and select "master boot record" choose 1 partition in the drop down menu, then select "fat" in the format options, and let you mac do its work ... now you can mount it again in your android phone

(if that doesnt help, msg me, and ill help you fix it another way)

Unfortunately the external mini SD card no longer appears at all. The internal one does, of course, but thats always appeared as a separate disk, and is much smaller in size.
I had a problem with my SD card and then I thought I solved it as mentioned in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=601340 but later I found out that I can't download anything despite being able to browse the net. Then my Titanium Backup wasn't able to perform a routine backup saying "there isn't sufficient space" while there is sufficient space. Swiftkey also began to give the error "unable to load language packs". On the other hand, my file manager "xplore" can still open SD and my PC can access it as normal. Is there a connection between all these problems and is it SD card the main issue? Please help. I have xperia x10 mini rooted running android 2.1 E10i.
I forgot to add that the camera also cannot access SD card saying every time I press camera button "please insert memory card".

is ur rom or kernel custom or only rooted official rom and official kernel?
Android 2.1 is the official rom. Custom roms are usually higher, but thank you. I managed to format SD card but this time from the phone itself. Of course, after copying data to PC. From the phone settings/SD card & phone storage settings, go to Unmount SD card, then Format SD card option is enabled. So you can format it the way your phone likes (don't have to wonder FAT32 or FAT16). This can be better than your computer to format it or even the SD company "SD formatter".
- First of all I admit it's my fault I wasn't paying attention..
- Second, I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this here, So pardon me..
- I was connecting my SGSII using the internal SD card as a USB mass storage.. a the same time I was connecting my Kingston USB flash drive.
- I wanted to format the Kingston flash drive and because I wasn't paying attention,and By mistake I right clicked on the SGSII internal SD card-> format->changed the file System from FAT32 to NTFS -> pressed start.
- It didn't take me long before I realized what I just did and more stupidly pressed the cancel button and unplugged the phone immediately.
- Now phone works fine but won't detect the internal SD card
- Phone used to auto-mount the SD cards automatically when connected to PC
-When connect it to the PC , It detects and mounts the external SD card and I can access it normally , But not the corrupted internal SD card appears as Drive ( J ) but when I click it, I get ( please insert a disk into removable Disk (J
- I'm unable to format or detect the internal SD card except it is shown as Drive (J) on the PC
- tried to re-mount it using CWM in recovery mode but no joy as well..
- Please skip the blaming part on how stupid I was and please advise if there is any possible way to fix this, make the Internal SD card detectable and mountable again.. then I worry about recovering the files..
try this, go to settings> more> USB utilities> click 'connect storage to pc'> click ok > connect USB cable> then click turn on. this should mount it hopefully and you will be able to reformat it to fat 32..hopefully!
Thanks for your reply, I've already tried that with no success
- However Issue is now resolved
- I tried again with CWM in the recovery mode, I tried random things such as try to re-partition the SD card..
- And when started the phone and tried to connect to the PC, got notification that SD card is corrupted and was able to format it
- Although now data is lost but now SD is detectable again..
- Now I worry on how to recover the lost data
