Root Spontaneous un-mounting of SD card

[shyFluttershy]

Samsung Galaxy Reverb running Ice Cream Sandwich. It's rooted, but that's the only special thing I've done. It's running the stock ROM.

When I rooted, I followed the instructions to the letter. When I formatted my SD card so that I could use Link2SD, I followed the instructions to the letter. My external card is 64 GB and I made the smaller partition 2 GB.

Ever since I rooted, my phone will randomly and frequently spontaneously eject the external SD card. If I wait a minute or two, it will spontaneously re-mount the SD card. It was particularly frustrating this morning, because I was going through my Gallery (I had the camera save my photos to the external card) and right in the middle of viewing my pictures, and sometimes in the process of getting back into the Gallery, the SD card spontaneously ejected at least five (5) times. Once or twice, this even threw me back to the launcher home screen.

THIS IS WHY I HAVE NOT YET RE-INSTALLED LINK2SD. I uninstalled Link2SD in the first place because I was getting "insufficient storage" errors whenever I tried to install even the tiniest thing, and I know that uninstalling and re-installing is the first step in troubleshooting problems.

It just now occurs to me to ask: Does my launcher of choice have anything to do with this? The three launchers at my disposal are TouchWiz, the super-basic launcher that became available after I rooted, and my preferred launcher -- after trying out many -- Lightning Launcher.

Please help. It's frustrating to have so much go wrong when I'm sure I did everything right.

Thanks.

Try unrooting it, and see if the problem is still occurring. If it isn't, then root it after the unroot.

I'm getting other problems now, too. My Android Weather widget isn't updating, and my alarm clock isn't going off.

Now to figure out just how one unroots a Reverb.

Thanks.

This is by far the easiest and most reliable way of getting back to stock. Download kies here.

Do I need to do the full re-install, or would simply un-rooting be enough? The only thing I flashed was Nandroid Backup; my ROM is already stock, just rooted.

su -c rm /system/xbin/su

Google search sent me on a small trail that gave me this. Would that work for the Reverb, or is it Elite-specific?

Thanks.

Not sure. If you have your backup you can try. May need to also revert to stock recovery but not sure.

I thought a bit of closure on this topic would be nice. Turned out to be a problem with the SD card itself. The nice people at SanDisk gave me an exchange and this issue has been SOLVED!

(yay!)
