Help The SD card doesn't respond

[Tom Novotný]

My phone all of a sudden stopped reading my SD card in all apps. Under Settings -> SD card & phone storage, it tells me the memory card has 29.6GB of total space and 8.23GB of free space. Also, I am able to access all the files but only through Root Explorer. I removed the card, copied the data to my computer, formatted as FAT32, re-copied the data back to the card, and am still having the exact same problem!!! Yes, I am rooted but did not change any settings. I even went back to stock thinking the system update that recently went through could help. Still no access other than through Root Explorer. Is there some setting or file somewhere that should be edited or removed. Again, I didn't change anything in the first place. It's been like this for 2 weeks now. Frustrating... Can anybody help me?

Did you have a question, Violet?

It might help if you identified the phone/tablet, the version you updated from, and the version you updated to,

Hi

Sounds like a permissions issue.

Did you format the sd card with your phone? (Using system settings) - if not try doing that. Then copy the data back to it from your pc via ftp or similar. (Don't use root Explorer)

Have you tried using the SD card on a different phone? There's a possibility your phone might be refusing this SDCard

Please note folks that the original post was from back in January...I'm hoping Violet will post back and let us know about here specific issue (that is likely similar to the OP's but surely has it's own nuances).
