So I had been reading around and got to thinking about what people were saying about the time it takes the phone to access the card is that "window" for using @unrevoked adb race root method.
So what I did was format my SD card in OS X as HFS+ Journaled so the phone would not be able to read this format and used the loop method after rebooting in bootloader, and it worked first time, no timing trick or anything just looping. Then i swapped out the SD card with a FAT32 @ the triangle screen and continued.
This was the same card I had tried endless amounts of times using many of the timing methods and loop methods.
I am asking if someone can verify this for me as a proven method. Thanks.
Just tried it. I still get "device not found". This is with the 2GB card that came with the phone, HFS+ Journaled, MBR.
Whoooohooo!!!! I FINALLY got it to work. But instead on one sd card I formated it with NTFS 64 kilobyte allocation units. Just popped it in the phone and started the process. I got adb on the first try and then I swapped sd cards and continued on. THANKS!!!!

So did you put the sd card in, go to recovery and you saw it in the adb? No pulling cards, or anything? Then after seeing the adb in devices, you swapped to your normal card and continued on? Just want to be clear.

I did do one more thing, but I didn't know if it had any effect. I started copying a large file to the sd card and then removed the sd card during the copy as to try to corrupt the file or the card. Like I said, I don't think it actually helped, I just did that before I even tried with the NTFS formatted card.
Still cant get it. I have the 2 gig card formated to NTFS 64kilo, I put it in the phone and go to HBOOT, then to RECOVERY, but I cant get it to find abd in recovery. Nothing. Dang it. I have tried almost every other way.

That's too bad. The one that I formated to NTFS was a 1 GB Kingston that I was trying forever to get root with last night with no success. But for some reason it worked the first try when formatted to NTFS.
This is good news that it is working for people with NTFS also, I didn't have access to a Windows machine so HFS+ did the trick. It was the same method as a had done over and over but as soon as i formatted it worked first try. i have to believe that NTFS and HFS+ will produce more reliable means of getting adb without resorting to clicking in SD's and pulling out USB's etc.
Help with OS-x
Could someone give me some help with rooting. I have a good understanding. My question is, do I just need to format my sd card to a mac format and follow the unrevoked root process. If anyone here could give me a step by step for mac it would be greatly appreciated.

What I did on my Mac is in the OP, but to be clear.
1) Took an SD card that wasn't my main phone card and formatted it in Disk Utility as Mac OS Ext Journaled
2) Rebooted into Recovery $ adb reboot recovery
3) popped out the normal card for the Mac formatted
4) Started the loop as described by Unrevoked in Terminal $ while true; do adb shell; done
5) go through bootloader and select recovery
6) almost immediately after you get the triangle screen you will see the Terminal output change to $ exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)
7) hit ctrl+c in terminal to stop the loop
8) swap back for the normal phone card
9) hit volume+ and power and follow the rest of Unrevoked tutorial
this didnt work for me i tried this weekend ago. what did work for me as formatting the card as a ubuntu usb live disk and then using adb from a actual usb flash drive and using the tail, method. i have not tested it on not rooted inc's but it worked on my mine 2 times in a row. hopefully i can test on my friends incs and post offcial results soon
thanks so much I will let you know if it works

I followed the idiot-proof root guide—guess it's not so idiot-proof.
I got up to the point where I was installing the stock rooted ROM (33b. After everything is wiped, navigate to "install zip from sdcard," then select "choose zip from sdcard."). However, when I chose to install the zip with the ROM in it, the screen just flashed a quick message and dumped me back to the main ClockworkMod screen. Puzzled, I hit "reboot" to see if it had actually done anything.
It booted back into full Android, but now it's not recognizing my SD card, saying it needs to be formatted. When I try and format it, it does nothing. Now, recovery is also saying "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (Invalid argument)". My SD card reader won't recognize my card either to the point that I can't even format it using my Mac.
Help!
SD format tool can fix many sd card issues:
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/
Same thing happened to me.
You got two problems. One which the phone is messing up, and the other which more than likely you.
1) Mine wanted to format too. When I clicked it, nothing.
What I did: Restarted my phone and tried to format again and VIOLA! worked perfectly fine. Then I was able to use it again.
2) The problem you're doing wrong is: when you are renaming the file on your computer to "update.zip" you're literally making it "update.zip", so the phone will read it as if it's "update.zip.zip". Try renaming it to JUST "update" and try again. If not, then the other way around.
Hope that helps.
1 - I've tried that several times, here's to trying it once more... :/
2 - Recovery mode won't even recognize the SD card, so that's not an issue until I get my SD card working. But since I was able to boot into update.zip once, I doubt that's the issue.
EDIT: Nope, won't format from within Android.

Trying a couple of other things that aren't working either:
Code:
mount -t fat32 /dev/block/mmcblk0 /sdcard
mount: No such device
I tried to force it:
Code:
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
This made my computer recognize the SD card as an unformatted 32MB disk, which is obviously wrong.
So: should I get a new SD card or something?
Not going to help as the SD card isn't being recognized no matter what I do. Can't do anything with it.

Go check out the EVO 4G Android Development forum. There's a thread in there from someone who broke the SD & USB and almost bricked their device. It contains a fix for SD card issues.
Nope. OTA doesn't show up.

Well, it seems to be the SD card. Bought a new one and it all works perfectly.
android broke my micro sd card too!!! I didn't update my rom or anything. It just hangs and i need to reset by pulling out the battery. And this is what happens!
Blackberry and windows mobile are more friendly to memory cards.
Hello guys,
I woke up too early this morning, and i accidentally knocked my phone off the stairs. It fell about 2 meters, bounced and then fell another meter, bounced and fell another meter and stopped.
Thankfully it was in a silicon case (i think that's what made it bounce) and there are no visible damages.
I picked it up, and it seemed to be working. After a few secs it went into sleep mode and would not wake up.
I removed the battery and rebooted, and i got the HTC screen, then the nexus boot screen and it stays stuck on the nexus boot.
I then entered recovery mode and thought i would try and restore my backup. I get the following message:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No such file or directory)
E: Can't mount /sdcard
I took off the SD card, put it my pc and it works just fine.
I got another SD card, copied a rom onto it and tried to reinstall through recovery.
I did a wipe/data factory reset and tried to install the rom.
I got the same message...
Is my Desire toast? It's only six months old...
I was running Defrost6.1 and using psfMod 0.9.7.2 as my recovery.
Any advice would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks
aalex
UPDATE
I did another wipe data / factory reset, and i rebooted.
The rom starts up, without any of my previous settings of course, but I still cannot mount my SD card.
From file manager, it seems that it is being mounted, but no files are listed...
When i try with gallery it reports "SD card unmounted or not present".
Any insights?

With your SD card in your phone go into settings then storage and unmount SD card. Then format your SD card from your phones menu and it should mount the SD card see if that worked.

Hi ste1164,
Thanks for responding. My problem is that my phone cannot pickup the existence of an SD card.
This is a typical USB-brick. I've had one a few weeks ago. You should look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639&highlight=usb+brick.
If you're new to this, it can be hard to get it working again. Just let me know if you have any problems. It took me a few hours to get it done
From fastboot via ADB, execute "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" and then reboot it with "fastboot reboot" command.
See if it works.
If you don't remember how to do the above, just search.

its not a usb brick, thats a software brick.... it sounds to me like you have a corrupt sd card, sd cards are very delecate and this can happen from a sudden impact, try formatting the card in windows explorer, obviously you cannot format your sd-ext using windows so try gparted or ubuntu to format your other partition.

Can't be sdcard, op said tried sdcard in PC and tried different sdcard...same result, must be sdcard reader or something.
You never know, might be a USB brick, just happened before the drop and was brought on by the reset...but I agree probably is hardware fault.
Is it possible to flash stock rom from fastboot without sdcard? Could try warranty repair then...

sorry i didnt notice that, could be a usb brick but like i said thats S/W related and i doubt dropping your phone could cause such an error, +1 suppose the sudden reset could cause the usb brick especially if the device was reading or writing to the sd card when it happened, could also be the sd card reader in the device has been damaged or one of the internal components. can the device read the sim card? if it dosent, could be a usb brick
Just a thought...is the sdcard reader attached by a ribbon? (never seen the inside of my desire, hope I never have to)
I'm sure I've heard of a few desires that can't read sdcard anymore, I reckon it's either attached by ribbon or it's the most delicate part of the phone.
I'm hoping it's a loose ribbon because that's an easy fix, even I could do that.
Hey guys,
Thanks to all of you for responding.
My sim card works just fine. I can make and receive calls, texts, go online via 3g and Wifi, connect through bluetooth. As far as i can tell, my phone does everythind it did before except mount an SD card. Also, the android market keeps crashing, and if i try and download anything from the net i get a prompt saying that i need an sd card to download.
So far I took the SD card and put it in my pc. I formated it, tried again but it didnt work.
I then tried a brand new sd card and that didn't work either.
However, I did not format the old card's ext2 partition, and the new sd doesn't have an ext partition yet.
Would this point to a USB Brick as mentioned above?
Would it be possible for me to flash the stock rom on the device?
Thanks once again, to all of you.

Yes, that should solve your problem. I had the same problem a few weeks ago, but that included a malfunctioning usb, even charging didn't work correctly.
To fix the sd-card, you should run the above command using the tool fastboot, available in the Android sdk. After downloading, cd to the tools folder in the sdk and then run the command while your phone is connected to your pc in fastboot mode. Then it should work again.

Hey koenvbeek,
Thanks for the help. I think i may need a bit more of it
Here is what i did so far:
I used Nephrons guide to download and install ADB.
I then rebooted to bootloader. The phone displays "fastboot" and then when i plug it in it dispalys fastboot-usb
I then went to the ADB tools directory and tried to run the command.
I got a message saying the command cannot be run because adbwinapi.dll is missing from my system, and asking me to reinstall everything...
Clearly i made a mistake somewhere but where?
I don't think you made a mistake
Either the requested file is missing, or it can't be used by your computer. First check if the file is present. If not, google for it.
If it is present, your computer can't use it for some reason. Are you on a 64-bit OS? If you're on Vista/7: did you open the cmd promt as admin?
Yeah, nothing wrong, it's just that the API library is missing.
Download it from the attachment here, and put it in the "tools" folder, then try again.
Edit: As you can see it's in an archive, since dll attachment is not enabled here, so extract the file from it.
Ok so I was running T-Mod_LeeDrOiD_2.3d_A2SD rom. And yestarday while playing Robo Defense phone just froze, screen stayd on etc. I waited few minutes and after that took out the battery. After the restart everything is fine except for the SD card being unavailable. So all my aps don't start (as that's where they install by defult). I spend few hours googling about and it look like SD brick.
I've tried standard ROM using fastboot. No luck
Trying unrEVOked without any luck.
Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks
EDIT: Tested card in PC and other phone is fine. As well tried 2 other cards, none of them is working.
Its probably your sd card that went crazy.
Simply take it out and reformat it in windows, fat32 if you're wondering.
And do the usual, partition using either ROM manager/gparted for your ext.
Though you most probably wont be able to recover whatever you had on your sd card. If you're lucky, your computer might read it.
Not too sure what caused this to happen.
Yeah, do what friedkimchi said.
Try to mount it on your PC and if it reads it, then you're good.
However back up your stuff from there and reformat it again. It happened to me once with the samsung omnia, and I was told it was a sign of a dying SD card and they were right. But that's just my case, maybe in yours some internal program code caused the mess up.

Great advice. The good news is that if your device started and works OK (minus the apps stored on your sd card) then nothing too bad has occurred. If reformat doesn't work, buy a new card - in fact probably best to buy a new card anyway as once they get a bit wonky they tend to stay that way.
O sorry i forgot to mention it. Card is fine, as well I've tested 2 other cards they all work in PC or other phone but none of them works in desire.
Just thinking is it possible that the card slot just died?

Could be the problem is with the ext partition on the sd card that you can't see in windows.
That's where A2SD loads the apps - probably including the game you were playing when the thing went belly-up.
If you have access to a spare card then I'd suggest you format it with an ext partition (using rom manager or similar) then reflash the LeeDroid ROM you've been using.
Problem is I can't format any card in the phone. Even in recovery mode I can't use any card
It happened to me once. It's no big deal.
Just boot your phone to fastboot mode (turn it off, and turn it on while holding back button), connect it to PC, and run this command from Android SDK tools folder:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
Reboot, and you are fine.

Also had some trouble when I just got my Desire, after a week using it suddenly it told me the SD was damaged, so I pulled it out like I did on my Wildfire, and put it back in, no joy.
Then found out the slot has a 'click-in-lock' so push it in till it clicks. Lock doesn't work, you can just pull it out after the click, but it fixed my troubles and I could keep using my SD.

Can you try if your memory card is readable by your recovery, like clockworkmod? If yes probably take a nand backup (alternatively take backup of data in computer), reformat & try.

Tried to format but the card wont mount on the device. I've tried formatting in the android os and in recovery with errors. Does this mean the SD card is toast? Any help is appreciated.

You might just need to reformat the card. Sometimes the cards get corrupted. You might even still be able to access and backup the content on the card if a PC will read it. If you have WIndows 7, it might even offer to repair errors on the card. That could also get it working. I'd say reformatting it is a good idea either way.
i just had similar error... try removing and reinserting card. if that doesnt do it reboot into recovery and depending on the recovery you are using go in to mounts and try selecting "mount sd card" that last one fixed my issue.

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 =/.
