Format 32GB SD card in Jelly beans - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I have SGS2, with resurrection jelly beans ROM.
I purchased a new 32GB SD card. but I'm not able to mount it to the device.
When I connect the USB, it appears on my computer as a separate storage beside the internal one,
and I can access it with ROOt Explorer.
I heard formatting it inside the device will help, but in settings-->Storage I do not have the option to format the SD card (despite f that it is detected in the settings). Any help is appreciated

Flash stock ICS, format card, flash RR JB.

Early build ROMS
JB ROMs are still in early builds (beta). You can expect few issues from them -camera lags and SD card support are common.
I'm holding the line for stable ROMs.

[Q] Phone doesn't recognize USB internal storage as SD Card

I upgraded to the most recent Batista70 rom, and after that to the CheckROM (from the old Leomar revolution ROM).
I can access the internal SD card in every possible way, except I can't move apps to it. Every time I try it says "Your phone does not have SD card. Insert SD card.", even though in the Manage Applications menu, on the SD Card tab it shows all the apps that can be moved to the card as well as the correct storage underneath.
Debugging is off. It's a fresh install. In the Storage menu, it refers to the internal SD card as "USB storage" and to the external SD card (which I have none) as just SD card.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Use a different rom. For some reason I believe some roms have bugs. I had this same issue with barista hence I moved back to checkrom
Copy files to pc then format the Sd card the move the files to your sd card hope it work !

I installed checkrom 3.0.0 based on XXKJ2, and will now try to install 3.1.1 which is based on XWKJ3.
The strange thing is, even in CWM recovery, I can install zips from the sd card, but it has the option to "install a zip from the internal sd card", and that doesn't work, so I'm afraid even CWM is reading that as the usb storage.

That is strange indeed. Now the only thing left to do I suppose is to reflash via odin before flashing a custom rom.
Format SD Card
Format your SD card, first copy all your files to your PC. Then wipe all data and install a new rom
Just flashed a stock rom, albeit not it's first (which was from July), and the problem persists...
I filed a bug report on the Checkrom bugtracker here: bugtracker. checkrom. com/ view.php?id=31 (can't post links, too new a user)
I'm guessing it's not a problem with their rom anymore, but if they solve it, good for everyone...
It's really strange because I can read the SD card perfectly, and it even shows on the pc when I plug the phone in, but some applications, like camera and microphone can't record on it. The economist magazine accessed it without problem and downloaded into it a couple of issues, so... strange...

[Q] Internal SD damaged - How to rescue? How to fix?

Suddenly I get this error in the notification bar:
Damaged SD Card - SD card is damaged. Try reformatting it.
And the SD card is not mounted. It's the internal one, the USB storage one I guess.
My external SD card works fine and is being mounted.
This is a huge problems since a lot of apps doesn't work when there is no internal SD. Swiftkey can't find it's languange packs, Gallery and many other video/image apps also fail etc.
If I reboot to recovery and to install zip from sdcard, I can see both my internal and external sd card. So recovery seem to be able to mount the internal sd, but android itself does not.
Now, I could format it, but I would like to at least be able to back up before I do, which is a bit of a problem since can't take the card out and use in a card reader and I can't get android to mount and share it either, even though recovery is able to mount the card just fine.
1) Does anybody know why this has happened?
2) Does anybody know how I can backup the contents of the internal sd, even if I can't get android to mount it?
3) Does anybody know how I any other way of fixing this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Rom & Kernel plz? :silly:
Also, Not really sure about this but I have a far reminiscence of having read somewhere that you can actually access your folders through USB from CWM once they are mounted. Please someone confirm this because I may be speaking bull****; otherwise you could try to backup your data from your very same computer.

Flash latest Siyah kernel (if you're on ICS/JB) and then boot to CWM. In mounts&storage mount USB storage and connect pc and phone via usb.

[Q] Inserting micro sd breaks phone external storage

Ok so I have never heard of this one before and I have tried looking for an answer.
My S2 works perfect when it has no micro sd inserted but the moment I put in a micro sd card the phone will boot ok but then it will not recognize any of the phone external storage (the 16gb bit) I get an mtp application has stopped error and I cannot access anything with any file managers not internal storage, external storage, or micro sd. The micro sd doesn't even show up and the rest show all directories as empty. I have this problem exactly the same if I flash a custom rom or stock rom rooted or unrooted it makes no difference. Anyone have any ideas? I have tried different sd cards but they all cause the same problem. I have tried reformatting the sd card also.
Flash dorimanx kernel version for the ROM you're on and test. Also formatting int sd card may help with this. Bk up you're data. format it and test.

Android M SD as internal. Some questions related to it

Hi there guys.
I have Spice Dream Uno (Android one device) running Android M. I have some queries related to using SD card as internal storage.
I have Samsung EVO+ 32 GB card.
Now here's my question.
If i use sd card as internal then it says it would work only in this device one.
Now after i did it i used sd card adapter to transfer my files, but it didn't worked it asked me format my sd card.
So at this point i think its the best to have secure storage.
I only transfer files via usb cable(No problem at this).
Now,
1) If i do factory reset will this card still work on my device or do i have to format it by loosing all data ?
2) If i flash custom ROM MM based will the card and files still remain the same ?
This would be interesting for me, too.

Default storage on Acer Liquid Z630

Hi,
I own an Acer Liquid Z630 that I successfully rooted following this guide. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP and installed the SU zip, everything's working perfectly.
But during the process, my phone somehow decided to "switch" internal storage and external SD card, making SD card the default storage. SD card is now labelled as sdcard0 and internal memory as sdcard1, while it should be the opposite, and apps data are now written on the SD card instead of the internal memory.
When I unmount the SD card, internal storage becomes default storage again and is correctly labelled as sdcard0, but as soon as I mount it again, the same problem happens.
I want default storage to always be internal storage, even if the SD card is mounted, like it was before. I don't want my phone to write any file on my SD card, I only want files I put myself to be on my SD card.
I tried factory reset, but it remained the same. I did a little searching and saw a lot of threads with people asking how to make SD card the default storage (in my case, that's the exact opposite), but apparently, on Lollipop there's no way to change default storage. But it did change when I rooted my phone...
I also thought about updating to Marshmallow, as I heard storage is managed differently, but there's no official upgrade by Acer, and I could'nt find any unofficial port for Z630.
This has been bothering me for quite a while now and I don't konw what to do anymore, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Anyone ?

I have an UNROOTED ACER LIQUID Z630 and it does the same.
Its not a matter of it being rooted or not; every time you mount an SD card, memory option nÂș1 for the mobile is SD card.
