I've been searching all over for a couple days now and I can't find any solution only people with similar but not exact same problem I'm having. Out of the blue a couple days ago the fat32 partition on my 32GB class10 patriot SD card unmounted and won't mount at all. However the ext4 partition mounts just fine and continues to work as it always has. I also can't plug the card directly into my PC because the adapter that came with the micro SD card appears to not work. My PC doesn't think there is an SD card in it. I tried it with a known good SD card (the 16GB samsung SD card that came with the phone. Which when inserted into the phone mounts and can be used like expected. No new apps where installed or changes made to my phone or the SD card before it stopped working correctly. The same apps and what not have been in use for as long as I have had the 32GB SD card. In fact the currently in use version of CM10.1 has been is use for the last month with no issue regarding the SD card. When I remove the card a notification shows up telling me to insert an SD card. And when I insert the 32GB card the checking SD card notification shows up an a second or two after the SD card is safe to remove notification shows up as if I had told it to unmount the SD card. If I tap on mount SD card in settings the same thing happens. And it also happens after a reboot. CWM can't mount the SD card either. What can I do to fix it so the fat32 partition is usable again?

Have you tried formatting the SD card in recovery?
As I said I can't mount it with CWM either. The card contains the data for my mSecure passwords as that app was forced to the SD card due to JB changes in android so I can't format it until I can recover the data on it. I need a solution to access the data before I can reformat it assuming that it needs to be reformatted. The SD card was supposed to be this fail safe thing and I didn't need to make backups of it as it was the backup storage stuff. So now I'm all freaking out because I can't access it for all the backed up data on top of the data for one critical app that was forced to reside on it. The good news is that only a few apps data is effected by this the bad news is those apps were all very important. I just don't understand why this has happened. And if using a cloud source such as box will be any more secure and safe than using the SD card in light of this; now I don't trust not losing data in the future on a source that was supposed to not have this sort of thing happen.
Maybe the SD card just went bad. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

No problem, it's a problem no easily solved, and is a long shot finding anyone who will be able to help. I looked at dozens of sites and forum threads and all sorts of other stuff from goggle searches and couldn't find a solution to get it to mount in either the phone or on my PC to recover the data from it and find out for sure if it is a bad card or not. It might still be under warranty. If it's not I'll be ticked considering how much it cost and how little time I've had it.

Try installing Recuva on your PC, if this program doesn't work for you then you might wanna try another more advanced recovery program like R-studio v6 (Shareware) which is easy to use since it's GUI based.
or testdisk-6.14-WIP (Freeware) which includes testdisk_win.exe for partition recovery and photorec_win.exe for files and media recovery, but it's kinda complicated since it's based on Command Prompt or DOS! so you need to google for a guide for how to use it.

Wow I somehow never got notified of this post seeing as I'm just now noticing a reply from months ago. Yes I still can't mount the SD card. I took it out and returned to the stock one that came with my phone. I still have the card as I need to recover the data from it and if not possible wipe it somehow so that I can warranty exchange it. Please do let me know what your solution is so that I can try it and see if it works.
Refresh my memory on what the problem was. This was a while ago lol.

The SD card won't mount in my samsung epic and my windows PCs. This was a sudden without warning signs and with no apparent cause. One moment it was fine and the next moment poof. I was looking for a solution to gain access to the files on it to recover whatever I can and if possible repair the card so that it works again. Assuming that it's not a failure of the card itself. It is within the warranty and well within the life expectancy of it. So I suspect it is not a failure of the card itself. I have the option of using ubuntu or other USB stick bootable options for tools as needed.

Now I'm not moaning about CyanogenMod here, I'm just trying to understand how I can fix the issue.
Basically, I had CyanogenMod 7 RC2 on my Desire Z. That was it.
Eventually I saw through ROM Manager that the full release of 7 was out so I downloaded, took a backup, wiped everything and did a fresh install of the new ROM.
It installed fine, but none of my apps that needed root access were getting it.
So I booted into recovery, restored my backup, root was back.
I then installed 7.0 over my RC2. That worked fine, but again root was gone.
At this point, my phone started damaging SD cards.
It suddenly started saying that my 8GB card that came with the phone was damaged. I tried to fix it on the phone, but it just said 'Checking card' and then giving up.
Putting it in an old MP3 player, it is not detected at all.
Putting it in a card reader, the card is unreadable and when I try to format it Windows says the card is 'read only' (this is not due to the reader).
I put a functional 2gb card I had lying around into my Desire Z and it broke it in the exact same way.
My question to you guys is - what could be causing this and how do I fix it because I have a 16gb card coming and I'm obviously cautious of putting it in the phone.
Also, how would I go about flashing the new Cyanogenmod 7.02 ROM if my phone keeps breaking SD cards I put into it?
This error can be because when ever you install a CyanogenMod ROM over another, It leaves files your new ROM think is useful such as data that the new ROM doesn't support. It is damaging your SD Card because it keeps attempting to fix the error but is making it worst by trying to remove system files. Your best bet is to try another ROM and see if it does the same thing and report it to CyanogenMod Developer Team if it only does this to CyanogenMod ROMs otherwise it would be just a virus on your SD Card feeding off of personal data. If it is only CyanogenMod ROMs, we will adress this issue ASAP. Hope I helped
Thank you VS4, you are indeed helpful
I've since heard some people have managed to fix their SD cards by formatting them in ClockworkMod but I can't even mount it first in order to do this! Is my card truly dead?
Also, do you think the reason that CM7.0 had no root (even when it was a clean install) was due to me not 'fixing permissions'?
Thanks
Just a note to say that I've managed to fix it!
Despite being unable to 'mount sdcard' in clockworkmod, I found I was able to activate USB Storage and through this I was able to format the card (Windows 7 was previously saying that the same card was 'read only' in a multitude of card readers).
I hope this helps any poor chap with the same problem.
I had this exact same problem, munched 2 of my 8GB cards, and had a 16 on the way. I somehow fixed it before the 16 came and I've never had the issue since, glad to see an explanation of it.
Thanks, nofixio!
I had the same problem on my Samsung Fascinate with CM7. It ate my 16GB SD card to the point where the phone wouldn't recognize it, CWM wouldn't mount it, and it wouldn't show up on my computer in multiple SD readers.
I wasn't quite clear what you were suggesting when you said you were able to "activate USB Storage." I thought maybe you meant within CWM. That didn't work for me, but I was able to boot the phone up with the problem SD card in it and turn on USB storage as normal. Suddenly my computer could not only see the SD card, it could see all the files that were on it before it died! I backed everything up, formatted the card in Windows, and everything's good now. Thanks for the tip!

im running cm7 ... it wont read from computer. i tried several micro sd card readers. it just tells me it cant format. its just like what was mentioned before.
Weird, I've never had any problems with Cyanogen 7 roms. I've flashed one over another and had no issues at all, Mayb because I use SuperWipe before hand? Or maybe its a certain sd card issue???
Running Desire Z and Andromadus Beta 11 I had similar problem after I had applied remote wipe from Exchange (wanted to see if it works). Remote wipe worked: it destroyed contents of SD card and erased phone back to factory settings. After wipe mounting SD card failed and Andromadus seemed to be unable to format the card.
Solution: Booted phone to Clockwork recovery and applied advanced -> Partition SD Card.
Posted this on this thread since it came first when searching solution.

Go into Recovery (Clockwork), go to mounts and storage, then scroll down and it should say mount USB storage.
Hey everyone
I recently bought an xperia play but it has only recognized my micro sdcard maybe once or twice and even then I was still unable to mount it. I know this is a common problem but believe me i've been searching and trying fixes for ages, the battery cover one, repair in se companion etc. So now I think the only thing to try is to downgrade my firmware because the times when it read the sd card was before i updated it. So any suggestions on other fixes or a how to on downgrading would be greatly appreciated bare in mind it will have to be quite in depth as I haven't hacked Sony Ericssons before just a HD2. Thanks for your help
Matt
P.S sorry if this is in the wrong thread or anything like that this is my first post.
I just went through that problem it turned out that my sd card was "damaged"or something like that and the play doesn't pick that **** up at all, so I popped it into my x10 it noticed it right away and fixed it for me. I'm still not sure what the damaged part was cause I was still able to use the card in a computer. Try it in a different phone see if it works
Sent from my R800a using XDA App
Thanks for your help but yeah I tried a different sd, didn't work then i tried formatting both of the sd's still nothing and also tried them in different phones, I have no clue what else to try except downgrading and I don't know where to start
have you pushed the back cover properly into place - it has to click into place - I normally run my finger around the edge of the cover firmly just to make sure.
Normally the card won't mount or will keep un-mounting otherwise - don't know if it would say unrecognized. Maybe you formatted it in a format different to FAT32 - windows does it to bigger cards - try using EASEUS or similar partition managers
The battery cover fix was the first to come up when I started searching and i've been checking it's on securely everytime i put it on and whenever i've formatted it i've also checked that it is in fat32 but i will try a different partition manager and tell you how it goes
Thanks for the help
Tried it, still nothing
Can anybody point me towards a tutorial on how to downgrade or something because I can't find anything and I have no other ideas
Is it possible one of the notches on your back cover is broken and does not let xplay realise the back is on? If you could locate a friend with another back cover or test it in a mobile shop perhaps? Or maybe there is a way to make xplay to always believe that the cover is properly on somehow? Hope it helps
Under Settings/Storage, there is an option to Disable Safe SD Card. Try that to eliminate the cover as the problem.
Sent from my R800x using XDA App
Good idea i'll check the back cover now. Also I went into settings/storage and there was nothing about safe sd card thanks anyway
Since my last post I have rooted my play and flashed back to an earlier firmware. The phone now detects the sd card but I am having a different problem instead, I am unable to mount because it says blank sd or corrupt etc. I have tried formatting the sd card on my phone and it still won't mount, any ideas?
You have tried using another SD card right?If formatting it won't work,either you have to get a new one or unfortunately,send it in to SE for repair(whatever its called) since it may be the sd card slot reader that's causing the problems.Another question,did the memory card come with your play?

xperia play r800x sd problem fixed
I just went thru what your going thru and found a way to fix it
in addition to my sd card not reconised my wifi and for that matter
the top status bar were not working.
you will need >A working phone with a good sd card <
1-Turn both phones off <your x-play and the other working phone>i know you do not have to unmount but>> MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS to avoid frustation ..trust me ..
2-swap the sd cards
3-pick up the working phone which now has the sd card from your x-play in it <turn it on >
4-if you get a message on the top status bar <Damaged sd card> go to settings >storage>erease sd data
5- If the format worked then it will remount the sd card in to the phone and rebuild the file system in the sd card <if it worked then you are done swap the cards back>
6- <<if it does not and you get a unsuported files on sd card or still broken>> do not swap the sd cards put down that phone and turn on your x-play with the working card from the other phone >>
7- if your x-play is working with the other sd card then replace the sd card its no good
if 5 fixed it gg
if 6 your sd card is no good
Hey everyone,
I've been looking everywhere to get some help with a problem I have with my 32GB SD card.
I'm using an Xperia Play (R800) rooted, unblocked and bloteware removed. Whenever I try to move files, I use one of 2 methods:
1) moving files by connecting the phone to my PC via USB cable and dragging files
2) unmounting the SD card from the phone and use a card reader to move files
In both cases, no matter how I try or how I move the files, eventually the phone will either freeze / freeze + reset / reset / or everything combined several times. Once the system boots up again, it restarts itself several times while trying to read the memory card.
This is really frustrating because it happens to me for the past 4 months, ever since I bought the phone and tried working on it. No matter what I try to do, I always end up with this problem, which eventually leads my SD card to randomly delete files. This includes music, transferred PSX games and such. It's really bugging me, and I really need some help.
If anyone can help me out, I'd deeply appreciate it.
Thanks a bunch in advance
NOTE:
The card was later formatted to 2 partitions: FAT32 and EXT2. This DID NOT help, so re-partitioning my card won't help. Think of something else.
Repartioning your sdcard over and over can result to data loss. Why did you have 2 partitions? You should only be using FAT32 as your primary partion.

I only did that once, and it doesn't have anything to do with the data loss as this happened before I partitioned the SD card. I have 2 partitions for Link2SD app. And even if I do have FAT32 as my primary partition, it still deletes my files at random...
I have 2 partitions for same reason as you Link2SD! That should not be a problem.
Couple of questions
(1) Is this a new SD card and have you used the card before on other phones (Could be a fault with card try different SD card)
(2)Have you been on the same rom since this problem started (If yes i would try a different rom could be a software problem.)
I would try these options to narrow down what the problem is seems like you have tried all the partition and formatting options already :fingers-crossed:

To answer your questions:
1) This SD card has not been used on other phones since this is my FIRST smartphone (took me a while to move to the next step )
2) I never use roms, only the default stock rom.
I find it hard to believe that the SD card is the problem, but what do you think?

I think only way to know if SD card is to blame is try another one,there are apps on Google Play that can test SD card but I don't know how reliable these are.Also you said you deleted bloatware did you delete something you should not have?It would be good if you could try another card then you would know for sure a smaller SD card just to test?
Well, oddly enough the problem WAS the SD card all along! I've been trying a new SD card for the past week and everything went smoothly.
Funny, but the solution was only to replace my SD card.
With that in mind, I'm changing my question. I guess there have been many posts about it, but I'm going to ask this anyway:
What would be the best SD card for the Xperia Play? The bad one I used recently was a SanDisk 32 GB Micro SD card, and the one I'm using now is a small sized 8 GB.
Can anyone help me out on this one?

The best sdcard for the xperia play is a Sandisk class 4 or 6 sd card. Preferably stick with the class 4.

I tried researching this but wasn't successful finding same exact problem or solution. I'm on 4.4.2 Baseband N900TUVUCNB4 rooted with stock rom and ext sd fix. Everything was working fine until recently. My external SD card has inexplicably become read-only, both on the phone and on my desktop. I first noticed this last week when the phone camera began having problems writing to external SD card, and now I can't sync music to card. I've tried formatting on the phone and desktop, both quick and full but no dice. On the phone, I am able to delete individual files or folders but they reappear. On the PC, I can view but get write protect message when trying to format. Anyone else come across this or have suggestions?

Happened with me once with a different phone/OS. Weird thing is that it was only for a particular SD card. I put a different card and it worked.
It turned out to be a problem with the card (dunno how thats possible though).
What's the brand of your SD card?
I have the exact same problem with my SGNote 2 and SanDisk 64gb micro SD card. First I lost some pics I have taken that day. I searched through with a file rescue tool but they were nowhere to be found. Deleted files reappear, and the ones I copied from internal SD dissappear.

It's a SanDisk 64gb class 10.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one. Maybe we can share the solution when we find one. I'm using internal memory in the meantime for new media files, but frustrated that I am not able to use the rest of the memory available on my card.
SanDisk works fine for me, maybe your sd card is a faulty one, let's wait for a while here and maybe someone could answer your question and hopefully solve your problem

Thanks, Lorettaa. It seems like that's the only option right now, since I can't find any other info about it on XDA. I know Kit Kat has that design "flaw" where apps can't write to an SD card, but I can't even write to it, modify it or reformat it on a PC. I have full read access to every file, just can't do anything else

I have the exact same problem, i tried many options , used some softwares in windows to format , wipe, fix, modify. nothing works.
One possible reason for this problem is file system errors , which can be rectified using the 'error checking' option in windows and 'fixing the file system errors'
But that doesnt solve my problem, even after formatting using advanced softwares, the sd card is the same - no files deleted, no files added...
The fat as well as ext4 parition is not formattable now in anyway.so the possible conclusion is 'sd card is going to fail'.. Take a backup before you loose the read capability.
Recuva is a good, free tool (from the people that make CCleaner) to deleted recover photos.

And one possible reason for a false error condition is a corrupt system. This is normally an unlikely possibility but it is very likely on devices that have had partition images written to (i.e. a flashed ROM). If you have done all you can to the SD card and if the errors are not only on one SD card then wipe everything and load a backup. If you still get errors then wipe everything and revert to stock to see if they still occur.

I have a PNY a 64gb class 10 had this card since the phone came out,
I noticed that you could update to marshmallow by LG Bridge, so i did so, everything went smooth, however i noticed everything used to be saved on my sd card then was saved to my phone and its not reading my sd card at all.
Ive formatted the sd card through my phone by storage-sd card-settings-format- while im doing this at 20% it will say sd card is ejected but then proceeds and says its been formatted correctly.
However the phone will read the sd card only in SETTINGS-STORAGE, it will read the files on the sd card, how ever if i try and play music/movies it will not read it through my apps like mx player/poweramp.
Apps like app manger 3 - which i use to transfer apps to sd card will not read my sd card at all.
Ive tried and formatted the sd card through my phone only around 5 times and still the same problem.
any help

i havent tried anything with permission- i dont know even how.
ive tried to factory reset the phone and the same problem occurs, when i did the factory reset, it automatically reloaded marshmallow and not lollipop/kitkat

i would check the permission thing just to make sure.. here is a how guide for that
i dont know what you can do more than that,you could maybe try to check another microsd to check if it didnt ruined the file system on it or(or simply if the sd you have is broken) or to if it is really a OS issue...
but as it seems for now a lot of people having problem with the sd part of marshmallow...

ive tried to do permissions but it wont allow to change to sd card,
Ive reloaded phone and before it comes onto my home screen says mount my sd card, ive gone into storage - sd card- mount, restarted phone but again the same issue.
When im in camera mode the phone allows me to select where my photos will be saved (onto sd card), i can go into settings_sd card and read everything onto sd card, however its just moving apps onto sd card it will not allow.
Ive read online saying marshmallow may only allow apps to be saved on internal memory now due to previous versions off OS- was a problem with viruses being attached on apps which were saved onto sd card- was the main problem. Could it be this?, marshmallow doesn't allow this.
Use TWRP to format, that was the only solution to get my 128 GB sd card working after update again. The integrated format function always tell me success while notification said card damaged. After formatting with TWRP everything worked again
Edit: Are you sure you flashed correct patched kernel as this can disable vfat reading? Look here in forums, there is a thread about different version names for different countries (e.g. German V20a is polish version V20b)
