Hello all. This is my first posting here but have followed a few guides and successfully rooted my first Android phone(thanks eugene373). Anyway, I tried to get a2sd working just today and partitioned my sd card following the steps in the link of tubaking182's(sorry, can't post a link yet) signature "how to partition your sdcard" and now my phone says that the sd card is damaged. Ubuntu no longer recognizes the card nor does Windows when I connect through the phone. I think I may be able to just reformat it with a card reader and start fresh but I don't have one at the moment. Is there another way around this or has anyone had the same issue? Any feedback is appreciated. Hopefully this hasn't been answered already somewhere else but if it has a link would be awesome. Thanks again for all the info and guides.

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.

SD Card fix is described in post here and from another forum here.
Ever since flashing cyanogenmod 6 I have been having several probelms
1. My SD card is not mounted and not recognized by anything. This is stopping me from accessing rom manager or making any changes.
I have tried several things including reformating my sd card and removing files just in case it was to full. I have not been able to figure out how to partition it to part fat32, part ext yet. I am running out of ideas and getting very frustrated with my phone. I have three sd cards to work with and none of them are recognized.
2. This would not be a problem if I could just go to stock. Unfortunately I can not get my pc to get me into recovery so I can preforma NAND backup or flash a different rom that is closer to stock. I think this may have something to do with my sd card not being recognized. I have also tried the workaround involving no pc but still am getting nothing,
3. I am also having issues with usb connectivity.
I think if i can either get my sd card mounted or my phone to enter recovery mode so I can flash another rom, add the google add on, or do a NANdroid backup it would take care of my problems. If any one has a great idea as to how to get my sd card to be recognized I feel that would solve most of my problems.
Thanks Brad
look for this thread: [ How-To ] Fix SD card not being detected & USB port not working l. I can't post links because a moderator has not verified my account??? , do a search on the android development section
Wrong section post in Q & A
Sorry I posted it over there. I have tried the tutorial you are taleking about but can not figure it out
what can you not figure out? i had the same problem and and it worked for me.
i had this issue, followed the guide and got everything working no problem.
QUESTION 1
Well.. My SD card suddenly broke. The settings show that it is unavailable.. and when I connect the usb cable, there is no "Disk drive" option listed in the connection type, and it is not recognized by my PC!
I only removed it once when I first bought it two weeks ago!
In some posts, I read that it is probably broken.. Isn't there any way to get it working? or at least retrieve my files?
QUESTION 2
Anyways, I have another microSD card from my other cell phone (8GB).. It worked when I inserted it. I figured I need to re-root it! So I installed VISSIONary by following this guide, but the temproot and permroot do not seem to have any effect (permroot requested superuser permission but nothing else happened.. no reboot!).
Do I need to root this SD card? Or is the root only required once during the stock ROM?
All your questions have been asked and answered several times. Please use the search function.
You are right. I found few posts about the corrupted SD card before I posted a new thread. And as I mentioned in my first post, they all indicate that the SD is dead and should be replaced. I was just looking for some hope for it to be repaired.
Regarding my second question, I did not find any information about rooting a replacement SD card nor the solution of the unresponsive visionary+ (in case I do have to root it) the answer. If you had more luck (or skill!) stumbling upon the answer or if you know the solution. Please make your post more helpful and you will be much appreciated!

Hi there !
What do you mean by "root" the SD card? You root the phone, not the sd card!
If you've already rooted your phone, there's no need to try and root it again - unless you've removed it or wiped the phone.
Ok, let me guess;
You have a stock rom, probably whatsapp & astro and probably 100% certain: you installed the OTA update about 1 day - 1,5 week ago....
I have spoken with HTC and have setup a specific topic on the SD card on another forum.
HTC has confirmed to me that with the latest OTA update they have seen reported isues including corrupted sd cards.
Lots of users are reporting broken sd cards after the latest (1.72) OTA update.
You can log this with HTC and it is likely they will replace your sd card.
Hey guys.
I have a HTC Desire and first started using Defrost and now i am using gingervillain.
After 2 days of searching the net for a solution, i'm >almost< giving up.
While trying to add a partition to my SD card (the ext3 one) somehow, the phone stopped mounting the card. I did this since the memory was running low and was told this was the way to go.
After searching this forum and googling, I've stumbled upon this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639
Problem is i'm not able to get sdcard access. the command 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' does NOT give me sdcard access.
The sd card is fine, i can read it in a card reader @ work.
I'm using latest Gingervillain (3.1).
Can anyone help please? i dont care about the contents of the card. Just want to get the phone back working with it again (still works but with no card...)
Thanks in advance,
Nuno
Did you try formatting the whole card to FAT32 then starting again?
Hey! Thanks for your response.
Yeah. tried it severall times using the card reader @ work.
After so many hours i decided to risk it and installed an RUU. The HTC install fixed the sd card that it labeled has corrupt. It's good now.
Now i'm rooting it again following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
fingers crossed.
Thanks for your reply.
This thread can be closed..... hopefully!
Hi all, I've a desire, running on

currently.
I used this:
http://androidforums.com/gome-flytouch-3/352291-help-partition-sd-card.html
method to try to create an ext2/ext3 partition, the problem is it simply doesn't appear to work - actually the phone asks me to reformat my SD card. Anyway I'm really not sure what's happened here, I rooted my phone/flashed the previous ROM so long ago that any knowledge has basically gone out of the window, so whatever info. you need, do ask,
Thanks
gparted or 4ext recovery are the best ways to partition sd card. don't know why you're looking in other device forums. searching around here you'll find that you should not use minitool...
backup your sd card, then look here (step 5), stick with guides that are written for your device
