So I use an SD card as uma0 and it just dismounts itself from time to time. It still appears in vitashell but it appears empty. What did I do wrong. I have the white vita2Sd adapter. And I use TF CARD PLUGIN TOOL ENG.

So I looked into the matter and it seems that a lot of people are having this problem.
UMA0 appears empty after the vita goes to sleep twice.

Here are some tips. I hope they will help you and others.

1.If you have bad contact or bad read/write from the adapter, it can cause the system to be deeply confused at boot because the "Vita Memory Card" it's referring to could have been the SD2Vita originally.

2.This happens when it cannot mount the microsd card. Repeat your formatting steps

3.Do not re-fromat
If you have the Enso logo, you should be fine, and the issue is only your config.txt not being configured properly. You can restore molecular shell by doing an install via the browser at the website and holding R. This will re-install molecular shell onto your sd2vita storage if it is mounted.
If that doesn't work for you, then your sd2vita plugin isn't functioning properly, or you might not have a valid SD card (my issue was that).
In which case, MTLkaku, the one designed for those without a vita memory card, might be the best bet for you.
Whatever you do, don't format your Vita SD card needlessly. You would lose all your data, and licenses. You don't need to do that, no matter what. Just hold L (I believe) to start Enso without plugins with your normal vita memory card inserted and SD2Vita removed. It should boot as before then.

4.Boot while pressing L button. If it recognises card, use molecular or vita shell to delete UX0/tai folder (make sure this is the Vita card). Not just the config file in the folder. The next time it boots it'll ignore the Vita memory card, look for ur0/tai and runs the gamesd plugin that mounts sd2vita to ux0.
If you cannot find molecular shell then use the browser to install it (go.henkaku.xyz)

5.Did you format to exfat after writing zzblank.img?

6.Do not do a re-format
If you have the Enso,Henkaku or h-encore logo, you should be fine, and the issue is only your config.txt not being configured properly. You can restore molecular shell by doing an install via the browser at the website and holding R. This will re-install molecular shell onto your sd2vita storage if it is mounted.

Which Version of the Adapter do you have? Should be the big Question. Either get the Version 3 (Black Card Adapter) or the Version 5 (White Card Adapter).
As for the Card going away after going to sleep 2x, I think you need to Update VitaShell, also might need a different Version of gamesd.skprx where it has the Issue Fixed, or just get nosleep.skprx to prevent it from going to sleep.
I forgot where I got mine, but am using storagemgr.skprx , but since mine is the 3G Version, I need it for better handling of which Card is used for what I want. If I could, I would Message you with a possible correct gamesd.skprx
