here's a real puzzler. Today I noticed that my SD card wasn't mounting anymore. I'm rooted on stock ROM. Everything else seems to be working. It won't mount. I've tried using root Explorer and TWRP. Nothing. Thoughts? Anyone?! TWRP sees the card while I'm in recovery. Once I reboot into stock ROM, I lose it. I try to mount it, then I'm getting a 'safe to remove card' notification.

Stupid question, but have you tried physically re-seating the card? I had odd issues like that on my S2.
Other thought, can you mount the card using a PC?
I've tried reseating the card multiple times with no luck. TWRP will see the card while in recovery. But when I boot into the OS, I lose it. I'm stumped.

One random thought, and probably isn't your solution ... Is the card formatted with exFAT or ntfs. Gs4 won't natively support ntfs formatted cards. Plug it into ur pc and check the properties... Worth a shot

If this was the problem would it cause all sd cards to unmount? Or could it just effect 1?
I have a 32gb card that unmounts and remounts randomly. My 16gb card doesn't seem to have the problem.
Im not sure if the 32gb card is faulty or if it has a correctable error. So far formatting it does not help.
The difference between me and the op is that my card will mount, it will just unmount itself at a random later time.

Have you by any chance flashed a different kernel? I believe ExFAT file system is closed source and is not supported by most custom kernels, even if you're still running the stock ROM. If not, can you think of anything that you've changed between the last time you remember your card mounting and now?
Same here, plus viewing media on the card in the gallery seemed really laggy. I switched to a 16gb and have had no lag or issues with the card being mounted. The cards I got are both SanDisk Ultra cards

I just RMA'd a 64gb ultra for the same issue. I started researching....seems to be an issue with the latest Sandisk ultra. I pretty much went through the gauntlet trying to fix it.... Back to stock. Back to exFat, formatted with PC, Mac back to fat, either AOKP, or touchwiz. Same issue. At first it was fine. Then slowly started dismounting and remounting. Then refused to mount...worked around the issue by formatting in exFat, mounting in TWRP.and reformatting... This seemed to fix it for about an hour, I started downloading my music from Spotify...again with dismounting... Drove me crazy...ordered Samsung 64gb

I wonder what is different about those ultras.
Fun note...i put my San disk ultra back into my HTC sensation and it works fine like it has for 6 months. Then i put it in my samsung tablet and it fails there too. And in my samsung phone it fails.
Now i have a 16gb san disk regular card in the phone and it works fine.

OK, so I have more information. I flashed back to stock last night. The card miraculously worked. I was able to format, and store data on it, and read from it. Then I rooted via twrp, flashed Super and the pre-May 7th kernel. Surprise surprise, after a reboot, the SD card is back to not mounting. Anyone have any suggestions?

Same exact thing happened to me with my San disk ultra card. Worked on stock, not on cm.
Was yours the San disk ultra too?

Yes, as a matter of fact. Look up at the link I posted above. Turns out it has to do with rooting and needing to flash a SetUID kernel prior to flashing Super SU. Something in there about exFAT not working. Flashed the exFAT fix and I'm up and running! :thumbup:

My phone is completely stock and unrooted. It's an SGH-M919. I've had it for less than a week.
I too am having an issue with the SD card. I bought a brand new 32gb PNY card, class 10. At first it mounted fine and there was no problem. I transferred files to it from my old 16gb card that was in my Sensation for 2 years.
The following morning, after the phone slept and charged for the night, the card unmounted itself. There was an error message in the notification bar. I tried repeatedly to remount the card to no avail. I reinserted it a dozen times, rebooted the phone several times with pulling the battery, but the card wouldn't mount. I then tried the card in my wife's brand new S4 (we got both phones the same day) and the card didn't work in her phone either.
I then plugged the card into my laptop and it mounted just fine, and all data was still on it. I tried it in the phone again, but it didn't mount yet again. I even reformatted the card in my laptop, but it still didn't work in either of our 2 S4's.
I went back to Frys and exchanged the card for another PNY 32gb card. It mounted in the phone just fine, and again I transferred files to it. This morning, again after a night of charging the phone, the new card was unmounted with the same error message. However, when I woke the phone up, after a few minutes the card remounted itself without having to take it out and reinsert it.
So far it's been about 7 hours and the card has stayed mounted with no issues. We'll see what happens overnight again, when the phone is charging and sleeping.
On the other hand, my old 16gb card has stayed mounted in my wife's S4 with no problems for several days now.

This has been the second time getting this error on SG3.
The first time I checked if the card was corrupted by putting the sdcard in the netbook, it was recognized and displayed all the folders. Inserted the card again in the SG3 and it wasn't recognized, rebooted into recovery and fixed permisions and cleared cache/dalvik and rebooted. The card was back up and everything was ok.
Again happened today, tried the same thing and nada Now it also says "Sdcard blank or unregonized file system" in notification and it then prompts for format confirmation upon tapping it.
I've googled and oogled and keep finding different solutions, some I cannot try now since I'm at work. One of them suggest to move all files to PC and format the card, I'll give that a shot at home and see. Another was to update the firmware, but on the latest L13... Apparently, this has been ongoing for sometime and there is an open issue in google for this.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=19722
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9736 - Originally opened for LG Ally, but HTC and Samsung users have also reported it on the same issue.
Anyone else encountered this problem in SG3?
Happens to me all the time. Sometimes it will just continue to prepare then unexpectedly removed pops up, then that will cycle and kill my battery. I just got a new SD card hoping that would fix it but it did not.

I'm researching like a mad man! Found a few tools but most are for HDD and not microsd... found the one below that is supposed to detect the card/drive even if it's not mounted or has a drive letter and revover the file system, repair partitions, recover ALL file types, etc but nada
Had a few important fotos, my most recent nanroid, my TB folder, that last one hurt the most.
I didn't back up after the first "fix" cause I thought it was a one time things, never heard of this error before. Lesson learned

If your computer can see it and you don't mind losing data do a low level format on the SDcard
Edit: my SDcard started liked yours but got so bad i couldn't use it at all with my phone, I'm fact Windows couldn't even see it i had to use Linux.

Mine is in that state right now, XP won't pick it up, booting up Win7 PC to try it. My Nikin S70 detects it but it says unusable and won't format it either.

Apart from the info already here, nope... I need to buy an external sd reader that gets a drive letter assigned without the card and try to force mount on win and run chkdsk, it's the only thing missing. Not even Linux picks it up! Not even force mount! This sucks and seems to have been a problem in android for some time now...
I did order a sandisk 32GB Ultra, but would like to fix this one. Might use it for the camera or give it to my better half for their TF700.

i was not on the JB leak. Beginning to think this is a hardware problem, so last night i unrooted and am going to the sprint store today.
I did try force mounting, chkdsk and everything else i could find but nothing worked. fortunately i am still able to return the SD card because i have only had it for a week.
My 64gb class 10 just started doing this after i formatted it to fat32. I am wondering if formatting could be our problem.

Yes and no...It was stated by some members that there was a write-up saying that you shouldn't format your card because this would deduct part of it's useful life.
I never formated my card, it was inserted as soon as I bought the phone and been using it since and never formated it.
I'm going tonight to Wal-Mart and getting a card reader and seeing if that helps in fixing this. In an earlier post I attached a link to an old thread that gives a solution that seems to have helped others.
FYI, just got back from the store and it is definitely failure of the SD card reader. They tested it and my new phone comes tomorrow.

Sprint store? How did they determine it?
I used another sdcard that I had, 8GB, and the phone read it ok...
Edit - then does this mean that there might be a factory reset on the card reader in the SG3? :/
all they told me was that they inserted another card and it happened. Mine also fried two cards so far, so it is definitely pretty bad and i was confident it would fail any test they gave it.

hm... I'll clear up a 2GB one I have lying around and see how it goes before using the 32GB Ultra.
If it happens again, I'll visit the Sprint Store on Saturday.
Do you have TEP or was it covered under manufacturer warranty?
i do have TEP but it was covered under manufacturer warranty. took over an hour, but worth having the ability to use an SD card again

Hey guys
Been reading this thread, having the same issue.
Actually the only reason I post because I'm troubled of the error other then having an actual problem, this error been spawning up for me for quite a while, though it does seem to work perfectly fine.
You think the SD card could just Die one day ?
I hope you guys could determine if there's a factory defect in the SG3 or the Card, I got the international GT-i9300, I hope i won't have to return it, since the shop it was bought from is located at Poland and I live in israel (let's say that handling via warranty is not an option).
Need to check perhaps with samsung if they know of any factory defects regarding microSD card readers, My SDcard brand is Sandisk 32GB ultra class 6.
I fixed mine by completely removing the battery and putting in sd card then boot up. Sounds dumb but it worked.

I am now on my 3rd sd card. It seems my Galaxy s 3 keeps chewing them up. I get random sd card removed msgs and then it won't mount again.
Anyone had this happen? Can anyone recommend a reliable card that this won't happen to?
I've tried pny and SanDisk and both had this happen.

Are you certain its the card and not your phone? Get a card reader, and check to see if your PC/Mac can read it properly. If so, format and try again.
I've had cheap SD cards, and expensive. I have never had an issue.
Sounds more like your S3 is having issues. If the above proves the card is fine, try wiping your phone

I was having the same issues with my SD card but found out it was the ROM is was running that was causing the issues. I flashed Hellfire and have not had any issues since then. I would agree that it is not the SD card but its the phone.

Then, it just died. I couldn't get it ready by any of the 5 devices in tried.
I got a hold of amazon, and and I have a replacement in the mail.
If anyone figure this out, let us know how to not only do this again, please lol

It's the way the SD card is formatted. I had this happen when I switched to AOKP and it kept telling me the memory card was damaged. It turns out I needed to format the card to fat32. Once I did that it worked perfectly.

Same problem here.... AOKP ROM and Jedi... my 8g card works but my 32g card will only accept certain files. I can't even create a folder in the external sd card.
Me too, with a 32Gb sandisk card. Card stopped working completely, and wasn't recognized by my phone or computer. I contacted sandisk via their web site support and a replacement is on its way. The approval process took a couple of days of emails back and forth, then they sent me a printable UPS label for RMA. They shipped the replacement out the day after receiving my return.

Same here, with a SanDisk Ultra 32GB card. It worked fine for a month, then just died. I've got a 16GB Amazon Basics that I'm using while waiting for the RMA on the SanDisk. The 16GB card had to be formatted xFAT on my Mac before the AT&T JB ROM (rooted via Mr. Robinson) would read it reliably, but it's been good since then.

Yes, it's been happening to me too when unlocking the phone (and seemingly more recently over the last week).
Using a Sandisk Ultra card and on the standard 4.1.1 ROM.
Let me guess, you are all using sandisk ultra cards? These cards appear to be a real pain in the a s s . Mine, (bought new off Amazon in October) went tits up and I believe it was the card that somehow caused corrupted files and caused my "media" process to be a complete battery hog.
About a week before the card totally failed to be recognized by my computer or my phone, I got those random messages about my sd card being unmounted and then it would just automatically scan it as if I had just inserted it when in reality I never took it out. I was able to copy everything to my computer about an hour before it was complete toast
I suggest you copy any important files on the card to your computer or wherever before it completely fails. I don't know what to do about getting a new card. I already filed a warranty claim with Sandisk but I am hesitant to use their brand again. Sandisk seems to be THE brand out there. I would like to try another brand.

You explained well.... same sad story!!!
im using transcend 32 gb its work fine in my note but its not work properly in note 2
My views on this issue
I have started facing this issue since the past 3-4 days and here are my views that can also serve as valuable information for everyone else:
- This error message started to appear only after I upgraded to android 4.1.2 by flashing the stock rom via odin.
- Im also using the SanDisk Ultra Class 10 32GB card
- I have not rooted my phone after upgrade and my phone is in fully stock condition, although it was rooted before.
- I dropped my phone once. But it was a very minor drop and everything was fine after the drop as it was on 4.1.1 at that time and i was on the same for further 10-15 days and never witnessed the error during these days..
These things should also be considered-
- The method of copying data from PC to phone. I use data cable and copy to the folders while the card is in the phone.
- Whether you remove the card without unmounting it.
I have tried formatting the card from windows using fat32 setting. It didnt help.
Formatted it with the phone and still saw the error once in the past 24hours..
In future, if I encounter the same problem, I might get the card replaced by visiting the sandisk service center here in India. Or, I can try flashing 4.1.1 again and revert back the result. As of now, everything seems to be fine as I have not seen the error for about a day or so.. (Fingers crossed)

- This error message started to appear only after I upgraded to android 4.1.2 by flashing the stock rom via odin.
- Im also using the SanDisk Ultra Class 10 32GB card
- I have not rooted my phone after upgrade and my phone is in fully stock condition, although it was rooted before.
- I dropped my phone once. But it was a very minor drop and everything was fine after the drop as it was on 4.1.1 at that time and i was on the same for further 10-15 days and never witnessed the error during these days..
These things should also be considered-
- The method of copying data from PC to phone. I use data cable and copy to the folders while the card is in the phone.
- Whether you remove the card without unmounting it.
I have tried formatting the card from windows using fat32 setting. It didnt help.
Formatted it with the phone and still saw the error once in the past 24hours..
In future, if I encounter the same problem, I might get the card replaced by visiting the sandisk service center here in India. Or, I can try flashing 4.1.1 again and revert back the result. As of now, everything seems to be fine as I have not seen the error for about a day or so.. (Fingers crossed)

Rooted my phone and install CWM I get this problem, but after format the sd card to fat32, everythings go well......
My memory card keeps ejecting itself every time my phone gets the slightest knock, even when I'm trying to be gentle like putting it down on a table. I don't mean un mounting but actually coming out of the card slot.
Any one else having this problem?

I'm also getting that same problem. I tried cleaning the micro sd with an eraser and the holder but i keep getting that message that the memory card has been ejected and immediately the phone starts checking it up. This doesn't happen when i'm using the sd, like when listening to mp3 stored in the micro sd.
Does anybody have a solution for this?

I'm using an Adata micro sd class 4. I've been using it for over a month and the problem started like a week ago.
And yeah, I want a new sd but i'm trying to see if the problem it's with the phone or the card and if there is something i could do to fix it.

Well all u can do ia format with sd formatter tool and try to use then if prob persist with this or even odr sd then ur phn slot maybe the culprit
I've got Samsung 64gb class 10. Problem isn't with the card because I've tried a few different ones and always get the same result.
I think I've narrowed it down to a little stub on the back cover which I think is supposed to help keep the card in tight. I've filed it off to see if that makes any difference and so far so good.

Could you take a pic of the stub? I'd be great if i could fix it instead of buying another 32gb sd.
Just received my unlocked 10, t-mobile. Put my 128gb sandisk card in and it works fine, but I keep getting a notification that the SD card is unexpectedly removed. Tried reseating it, still get it. Anyone else?
I put a 200gb sandisk on my htc 10 and no problems so far.

Maybe I'll try reseating it again
Still no luck, might need to reformat it

Could be a defective card too. Or even the reader. My 128 Samsung hasn't made a peep so far.

It worked fine the other day, I've had it for awhile. I think I'll try a reformat and see what happens. I'll let you guys know. Thanks.
My PNY 128GB has been doing that too. It would show the message and when I check on it, sure enough, it's unmounted. So I took it out and formatted it in another phone and it's slightly better. I get the unmounted message, but the card stays mounted. I'll probably try a different card tomorrow.
I have same issue with my Samsung 128gig card. Random unmounted status.

@dottat @protoadies01 Is it possible for you guys to provide the exact model numbers for your Samsung cards for comparison sake? It may help rule out defective device and/or card. My PNY card is the P-SDUX128U160G-GE model.

exFAT Default allocation should be fine, but you can just format it in the phone. If you run into issues, try FAT32. If you still run into issues, try another card.
I'm going to try a reformat today, see if it works
I've been on a clean reformatted card for about 2 hours now, so far no error. I haven't loaded back up yet though.
My pny only gave me problems when I was writing a lot or something big to the card.
I swapped mine out of 4 different phones, then into this one, so it's no wonder it errored
I have a Lexar Professional 128GB Class 10 and am now getting the same problem.
It has been fine all week but all of a sudden from yesterday morning it has started playing up.
I have tried RE seating and it works for a little while then complains.
I have also found just restarting wakes the card up for a little while so am wondering if it is software related rather than physical?
I don't know, I did a full reformat on my laptop, then formatted it on my phone and haven't had any problems since.

Did you reformat as internal memory or just a standard format?

I just tried reformatting mine in my phone as internal memory, but it is failing to recognise the card as U3 which it is supposed to be.

I did it as external.
