[Q] Help. Cyanogenmod not reading sdcard. - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I installed Cyanogenmod using the app three weeks ago. About four days ago, I got a notification saying "Blank SDcard" and it told me to format it. I did. It kept coming up so I formatted it whenever it told me. Now, it doesnt come up anymore, but it won't recognize my sdcard. If I open up my camera, it says "Can't connect to the camera" and "Insert an SD card before using the camera."
What do I do?
I posted before but it got deleted.

One. If your using 32 gb or 64 gb sd card you need to format it to a specific format for cm to read it

How?

I believe its fat32 on your computer. Just format it. Or you can install a kernel that supports exfat

Formatting SD while while rooted

Is it a bad idea to format your SD card while you're rooted? Will it delete the main rom on the SD card? I have 7gigs left of free space but I want to have around 13gigs free.
Any ideas? Please and thank ya
Danke shein

No, makes no difference. All you are formatting is the space set aside for user content. This will include.downloaded files, cwm backups and app data stored on the SD card.

[Q] Apps2SD?

Is there anyway to move apps to SD? I know they took out the feature in ICS, but maybe via an app or something? 8GB is pretty small when you take away a gig for a rom slot...

better yet, has anyone figured out if you can flip flop the internal and external sd locations so the phone thinks your external sd card is the primary? I know this was possible on the X2 and the RAZR's.
I have the memory switch .zip file, but no way to install it on my rooted Droid RAZR M
I was curious how difficult would out be to just rename the internal storage from sd card to internal storage? If that is possible then we could just rename external to sd card then we should be able to move apps to the card easily.

Tried an app from the market and it seems working: GL to SD. need root access
Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app
nah. tried renaming them last week or so and it not only didnt work, the damn things renamed themselves upon reboot. im pretty pissedf about the memory on this phone cuz the phone itself is pretty snappy.
Dang I guess Motorola has this phone on lock down. I used my EVO 4g to copy songs over to my SD card and once I inserted it back in and tried to mount it, it kept saying blank, so I rebooted my phone and it showed up. If I wasn't as smart as I am I would have probably formatted the damn thing lmao I was wondering if they did that as a minor precaution to people trying to hack the phone with something on the SD card, but then again I'm sure if they did a reboot wouldn't have made it show up then.

So were you able to move anything other than game data to your ext sd? It let me move dropbox, but nothing else showed up on its list of transferable files.

[Q] hudge problem with sd card

Hello. I have a hudge problem with my phone. Somehow it automatically unmounts and remounts my sd card for no reason no matter what rom I use. Sometimes it unmounts my sd card and don't mount for a month. Sometimes it gives damaged sd card error and asks to format it but when I insert my card to tablet and it detects no errors. What could be the problem? Can anyone help me fix this?

You must clearing ext partition in recovery and format sdcard. + set min cpu fraquancy on 245Mhz.
didn't help
If it does happen with all roms you've tested, including stock 2.1 then your SD card is propably faulty. You formatted it under Windows?

I can't try stock rom because it says that my recovery is to new. SD card can't be faulty because it is new. I had other sd card earlier but my phone didn't recognized it so I bought new. And i have formatted under Windows.

Check the SD card under different phone, most simple as it can get.

sd card working fine on my android tablet
Which ROM are you using?
Now using cm9
Sent from my Acme TB02 using xda app-developers app
Then you have to check different roms and kernels to see under which your SD card works properly. I suggest trying newest AOSP / SDSL or CM 7.2 by Tejas build three.
Maybe is the slot of your SD Card, Why?:
Using every ROM, same device and same problem = device
Used other device and everything ok = the "other" device
So, definitely your slot on your device is bad. Good Luck!

Which cwm version?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Just delete all partitions and make new (FAT32) with some Live CD if U don't have Linux on PC (for best get gParted Live).
Next put it in Your phone and partition again with CWM 6.0, or just use fat32.
Some customized roms mess up sd card if it has /swap.
Noticed this in some 2.3 custom rom, but don't remember name of it.

System restrictions delete failed

When I wanted to delete something from my nook color running cm10 night lies I could not delete it and a notification pop out saying system restriction delete failed but when my nook color is running cm7.2 i had no problem deleting files can anybody explain to me for this observation? Thank you for reading and hope you have a nice day!
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
If the file is on SD... you may have ran into the occasional SD becoming read only under CM10 that periodically rears its ugly head.
So does it mean that there is no solution? Thanks anyway.

It means you may have to use a different SD. CM10 is real finicky about SD cards.

I have used sdcard no. 1 to install cm 10 but I use sdcard no. 2 to download additional files and apps and use it as the device's main sdcard meaning I use it. I tried a different sd card also but still can't delete files and using cm10, I realized that there are some hidden files with unknown symbols I don't know what are those I saw them when I use androzip but on other file manager I don't see them and I can't delete them BTW should I use cm7.2 or cm 10.

Those unknown symbol files mean that CM10 is sometimes corrupting some files when it writes. That is why it is mounting the SD as read only. It sees that corruption. Try creating a file with your CM10 file manager. If you cannot, it means it is mounted read only.
Try getting the free SDFormatter program and running that on your PC to reformat the no. 2 SD to fix any corruption.
