Probably your sdcard is broken..
If your PC doesnt recognize the external card, u can use a card reader and try to recover all your data using a recover software :\

try using other sdcard, if using the other sdcard your phone can read it, bring your broken sdcard to its service center to trade it with the new one, and should be free and no charge

Remove SD card and Re-insert it

omg now my phone cant boot up stuck at the android logo. again.
Use a microsd adaptor so that you can access your card using a card reader. If you have to borrow it from a friend. The same thing happened to me and I just copied everything to my PC, formatted the card, put it back in the phone, and just for assurance, formatted it using the custom recovery. Now everything works perfectly fine.
yep. use a microsd card adaptor. if you don't have one then buy.
i think your problem is on sd the sd card.
i inserted a broken sd card once on my phone, one time it boots up and sometimes it wont. but when it do boots up, my phone freezes whenever i try to access the contents of that sd card.
What SD card you have in your phone?
Good investment should be Sandisk or Lexar 8 Gb 4x.

[Q] Can't see internal SD card

I Just went from the Resurrection Remix v1.7 to the HyDrOG3N-ICS 02.05 and now i can't see my internal SD card. When i go into apps like gallery and what not it says no external storage available. It was working all fine before this. So i tried to re download the Resurrection Remix v1.7 and install it but it says i need an sd card to download. However i can reflash the HyDrOG3N-ICS 02.05 rom in CWM from my internal SD card, so it kinda knows it's there.
It seems i have a bit of a predicament. Any ideas?
Try flash the mounting fix ~~ it solve my internal storage after flashing it~~

get... es file explorer from the market
with this program you even can transfer files from ext sd to int. sd and reverse
this will do the trick

Thanks man that worked a treat. Took me a while to actually get the mounting fix on there but eventually managed it by connecting to pc in CWM.

SD card problems
I hope it will help.
1. If the card is invisible in phone, control it via card reader.
2. formatting/partitions making usually fix the problems in the phone
3.In phone control if the card is mounted in the system ( menu-system-settings-SD&phone storage) if yes and still invisible - remount/mount.
4. For fixing some issues and partitions ( stabilizing SD too+ no data loosing with this tool) you can use Partition Mini Tool - also suitable for SD preparation for moving Dalkik to SD via a2sdgui ( not supported anymore) and above - system 2/3/4.
Basically : If card is invisible in reader, theres problem with card.
If is visible in phone only - problem is in mounting/flashing/formatting in phone.

[Q] "No external storage available" after flashed epinter's CM10

New to XDA. Tried searching the forums if similar issue has been asked before but seems that none is quite similar to my situation.
Mine Atrix was HK 2.3.4 stock rom. I unlocked bootloader, rooted and flashed epinter's CM10. The custom rom works well so far.
But the major problem is that whenever I use apps that require external storage, such as Photo Gallery and Play Music,
or try to save/restore backup of apps in the sd card, these apps pop up a message "no external storage available" and force close.
I tried to flash back to the 2.3.4 stock rom and the sd card works fine with my phone.
Then I once again flashed CM10, the above problem occurs one again.
With CM10, when I connect the phone with my computer through USB cable, I can only access to the sd card but not the internal storage.
I installed ASTRO and I can explore the files on sd card (/storage/sdcard1), but since I can't access to internal storage on computer,
I have no idea which directory I should look for in ASTRO as the internal storage.
When it was 2.3.4 stock rom, the above problems never happened. Could anyone advise me the solution?
/storage/sdcard0 ->Internal
/storage/sdcard1 -> External
Did you do a clean install (full-wipe)? Check on CM10 Settings -> Storage [Use external storage]

Yes I did 3-wipe before and after flashing rom. And the Settings -> Storage [Use external storage] didn't help.
Hi
As far as I know, you must enter in advanced option and here activate the external SD card.

This has already been done before.
[Update]After a reboot, the phone finally can detect the sd card, but the internal storage is still absent from the file explorer (ASTRO) or the computer through USB. So weird?
I recently flashed this rom and I am having the same problems except my external micro SD card works, could anyone help?
You're not alone I'm having he same problem with external sdcard. Maybe there's no solution for now
re partitioning

hello guys hope this can help
I flashed cm10 epinter for atrix olympus hk version. I had the same problem of disappearing internal storage, even in recovery the emmc cannot mount. After digging for weeks i finally found this that saved me. Basically it is just deleting the old partition , remake it and then format. Instruction is simple just a few lines. Just need to be careful.
Now both internal and external storage are OK and both show in usb mode connecting to computer. Hope it works for you and not too late.

It's done. Same as you did, I clean the cache and other junk files in different way. My gallery works as well.
Removed sd card
i dont have a reliable solution but what i do was turning off the unit, remove the sd card then swipe with clean cloth-reinsert it to the slot and turn on d unit. let it boot properly for 3 minutes then check if sd card was read by opening the file manager.

It must be work in another way to recover sd card data.
I think the 1st step you have to do is don't panic :LOL
Ok try this for sdcard recovery when it can't be detected properly on your phone:
With a card reader right click the card in windows, properties - tools - error checking. It should make the card readable on the phone again.

Same thing happened to me after coming from a Note 2. I think it's because they used different file systems. Anyway, I tried a chkdsk repair on the drive when I had it mounted on my pc. That recovered some of the stuff, but I lost quite a lot.
I had the same issue going from the Galaxy S5 to the Z2. My whole Camera folder on the SD card was wiped. Only about 300 photos... FK U Sony!
so there is no sulutions for this !!
Hi, you can go to setting, app, then camera, click on clear cache and date, then go to album, click on clear cache and data, then reboot your phone.
After that, it will be fine. pictures saved to SD card will not be lost again.

In the future though, it's best to back up the contents of your SD card and manually format the card before inserting it into another device.
There's a saying in the world of storage. "If it's not backed up, it's not important".
