Hi to everyone at this great website
I rooted my phone and everything has been working fine until yesterday i was trying to take pictures and was not able to take any at all and was getting an error that the evo was not able to access the sd card then I tried connecting it to my computer to see if there was anyway to access it through it and was unsuccessfull.
Please help without the files in the sd card I don't know if I can restore the phone back to factory settings if I need to return the phone
Please any one who can help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
I know this is like not helpful at this point, but I would recommend when u get this taken care of that you make a complete backup of you SD card with the nandroid backups and original restoration on a computer in case.this ever happens again. I did this and was saved when my SD card died on me. Good luck.
I bet there's a stock image out there somewhere.

Thanks for your comments, I hope other people can post other ideas as to how to recover from this problem.
Please help
Any one has any other recommendations? My problem is it doesn't detect the card at all. By the way I did made a copy of all the files the were in the SD card, but the problem is I can't copy to the SD card because it doesn't detect the card. I have even tried formating the card and that still didn't work.
Have you installed the OTA update? It was supposed to take care of this issue. Have you tried another SD card?
I just tried another card and it works then I tried the evo SD card im my blackberry and it doesn't work there either, so my conclusion is that the evo card is corrupted I can't even format it.
By the way once you root your phone I can't update unless it was the SD card problem not sure.
Thanks for your response
If you haven't installed the OTA update then I would just in case it is the problem. There is a rooted version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=697636.

ok so was running miui on a rooted incredible i accidently formatted my sd card and now my phone hangs on the HTC screen. i can get into recovery but whenever i try to flash a rom it says my sd card wont mount. any help is greatly appreciated.
I hear this can happen if the SD card is not formatted as FAT 32
Sent from my Incredible
i checked and it is formatted to fat 32, i have tried downloading a few other zips to see if it will let me flash any of them and i keep getting installation aborted errors im stumped i have been looking at forums for hours and havent found anything
Format your card again, I use a utility from the SD card association

Even if you are a noob, you should give more information. I asked you to check a option in the preferences, you didn't.
Tell us exactly what you've done BEFORE the sd card stoped working. The more information you'll give, the more answers you'll probably become.
o sorry ok i flashed the froyo rom that was for 2.51 everything loaded fine and when it comes on it says preparing sd card then it says sd card safe to remove i go to sd card and storage settings and click mount sd card and it does the prepare then safe to remove thing again
is this a new SD Card, or the default?
the default 2gb
I would try to format the SD card. This can only be done when it is unmounted. If this all doesn't work, I would try to access the SD card on a USB Cardreader, to see if its broken...
thanks well i went back to my old rom and it works now so no froyo for me just yet guess ill just wait till after to work tommorow to see again gotta sleep wayyy past my bedtime lolo thank you so much for your help
Glad to hear you worked it out...
good night
Greetings XDA,
I would love help with my current situation. I am in the military and really need my phone working so my soldiers can contact me ^^;.
I have an HTC Evo, the older (original) version, and followed the steps here:
http: // htcevohacks <dot> com/htc-evo-hacks/root-for-htc-evo-4g-gingerbread-is-here/
It seemed to work just fine, and so I connected my phone to my computer to transfer some files. However, after about a minute, the my computer didn't recognize that my phone was connected anymore and I didn't even have the option for "disk drive" on my drop down list. Apparently, my SD card was unmounting itself. After rebooting and trying again about a dozen times, I decided to bypass the phone/usb deal and connect the sd card directly thought an adaptor. My computer recognized it and opened the drive, but once I tried to delete or move any file, the drive would dismount.
Becoming fustrated, I decided to try and wipe the SD card/format it, but because my phone won't recognize it and it dismounts itself from my computer, I can't do either.
Now my phone only boots into the bootloader and doesn't recognize the SD card at all.
I thank you for taking the time to read my post, and appreciate any help you can provide.
I would try swapping in another sd card

I don't currently have another SD card, nor do I really want to spend money on another one; if I can avoid it.
I've tried formatting the SD card several different ways:
Through basic windows means (Right Click > Format)
Through CMD Prompt
Through Admin Tools - Comp Mgmnt - Disk Mgmnt
Through 3rd party programs, etc
However, whenever I try to move a file to the sd card, move something out of, delete, format, or any other type of specific access, my computer can then no longer recognize it.
Is there any way for me to get my phone past bootloader, without the sd card? I've tried resetting all user data in recovery, but it seems that no matter what I do, I can't get past the bootloader.
Is there anyone out there with a solution?
Perhaps there are other details I can provide, just inquire.
So you can get into recovery? Have you tried formating the sd card with recovery?

Yes, I have, but my phone doesn't recognize that the sd card is mounted.

What happens when you try to mount sd card in recovery? All in all it may be a bad sd card. And you might have to get a new one. Or if you got a friend that has a spare one you can use.

Thank you for your prompt replies.
Whenever I try to mount/access my sd card on the phone, it simply doesn't find it. I am using the same 8gb sd card that came with the phone, and I've had the phone since day 1 release.
The more and more I try to fix or find a solution to this problem, the more frustrated I am getting; and the more it is seemingly looking hopeless =/.
I am having an issue with my epic 4g touch. The phone is confusing the internal memory and the external sd card. So when I download something it ends up going into the internal from music to apps. In the settings/storage it says I have things on my sd card but if I go to it in root explorer, it shows nothing. My problem is that when I flash a new rom and do a nandroid backup, the backup disappears on me. I will put the backup on the sd card but when I go back to it, it's gone. It doesn't show up on the internal either. The last time I flashed a rom I got stuck with no backup. Needless to say I am a little scared to try again. It has done this with two separate sd cards. Please help? I am confused. Does anyone else have this problem?
I have had some similar issues. For me it doesn't acknowledge my external sd card alot of times lately.

Have you tried removing and formatting the MicroSD card through Windows?
(Or mount as USB in FI03 and format that way)
I tried researching this but wasn't successful finding same exact problem or solution. I'm on 4.4.2 Baseband N900TUVUCNB4 rooted with stock rom and ext sd fix. Everything was working fine until recently. My external SD card has inexplicably become read-only, both on the phone and on my desktop. I first noticed this last week when the phone camera began having problems writing to external SD card, and now I can't sync music to card. I've tried formatting on the phone and desktop, both quick and full but no dice. On the phone, I am able to delete individual files or folders but they reappear. On the PC, I can view but get write protect message when trying to format. Anyone else come across this or have suggestions?

Happened with me once with a different phone/OS. Weird thing is that it was only for a particular SD card. I put a different card and it worked.
It turned out to be a problem with the card (dunno how thats possible though).
What's the brand of your SD card?
I have the exact same problem with my SGNote 2 and SanDisk 64gb micro SD card. First I lost some pics I have taken that day. I searched through with a file rescue tool but they were nowhere to be found. Deleted files reappear, and the ones I copied from internal SD dissappear.

I had same problem. But I fixed this problem by formatting my SD card via PC. It is very bad to me Because I lost my some valuable Docs:crying:
Try file recovery softwares, you might recover it.

Thanks. I tried formatting through PC using windows and also tried using SDFormatter v4.0 but get write protect error. Thanks for the suggestions

It's a SanDisk 64gb class 10.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one. Maybe we can share the solution when we find one. I'm using internal memory in the meantime for new media files, but frustrated that I am not able to use the rest of the memory available on my card.
SanDisk works fine for me, maybe your sd card is a faulty one, let's wait for a while here and maybe someone could answer your question and hopefully solve your problem

Thanks, Lorettaa. It seems like that's the only option right now, since I can't find any other info about it on XDA. I know Kit Kat has that design "flaw" where apps can't write to an SD card, but I can't even write to it, modify it or reformat it on a PC. I have full read access to every file, just can't do anything else

I have the exact same problem, i tried many options , used some softwares in windows to format , wipe, fix, modify. nothing works.
One possible reason for this problem is file system errors , which can be rectified using the 'error checking' option in windows and 'fixing the file system errors'
But that doesnt solve my problem, even after formatting using advanced softwares, the sd card is the same - no files deleted, no files added...
The fat as well as ext4 parition is not formattable now in anyway.so the possible conclusion is 'sd card is going to fail'.. Take a backup before you loose the read capability.
Recuva is a good, free tool (from the people that make CCleaner) to deleted recover photos.

And one possible reason for a false error condition is a corrupt system. This is normally an unlikely possibility but it is very likely on devices that have had partition images written to (i.e. a flashed ROM). If you have done all you can to the SD card and if the errors are not only on one SD card then wipe everything and load a backup. If you still get errors then wipe everything and revert to stock to see if they still occur.
