I've recently flashed the stock firmware onto my Samsung Galaxy S3 because there was one feature which didn't work on CyanogenMod. My external SD card worked fine until recently - the 'mount SD card' option in Settings is now grayed out, and whenever I insert the SD card into the device, the following messages appear in the logcat:

W/MountService( 3370): Failed to mount media on insertion
W/MountService( 3370): java.lang.NullPointerException
W/MountService( 3370):     at com.android.server.MountService.doMountVolume(MountService.java:1212)
W/MountService( 3370):     at com.android.server.MountService.doMountVolume(MountService.java:1288)
W/MountService( 3370):     at com.android.server.MountService.access$2100(MountService.java:134)
W/MountService( 3370):     at com.android.server.MountService$6.run(MountService.java:1021)

My computer seems to recognise the SD card just fine. Can anyone help me with solving this problem?

Update 1: I was successful in mounting the SD card manually using the shell command from this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804573, however it was only accessible to apps with root permissions.

Update 2: As suggested in the comments section, I formatted the card in question to exFAT. The problem persists.

Update 3: The dmesg (/proc/kmsg) file seemed to have some relevant information. This is what got logged into it when I removed then inserted the card:

I fixed the problem just by flashing the stock firmware (using Odin) again. I didn't even have to wipe /data - all my apps are still there.
