We got (3) Incredibles for work. I've rooted and installed a different formatted sd card. The other two are stock with stock sd cards. The boss' can't get his sd card to show up on his pc. It will show up on my pc and the sd card from other stock incredible will show up on the boss' computer. I don't have time to mess with it and thought this would be the best avenue to take to hopefully find the solution. Thanks!
It is a boss test. Looks like he failed.
Really, if it works on your computer and not his, the problem is most likely on his computer. Missing drivers, corrupt drivers etc
the other phones/sd cards are recognized on his computer just fine and his phone/sd card is recognized on my computer.
Subject line is almost correct then.
You have a dilemma.
Must be an interpersonal communication issue lol

Hi everybody,
I posted a similar post in one of the threads, but I did not get any replies. So I thought I might as well post a new thread.
I really hope that you can help me out.
My HTC Desire doesn't recognize the sd card (Samsung micro SDHC 4gb) that is in it. It also doesn't recognize another sd card (SanDisk micro SD 2gb).
I've tried to follow up the steps 'chippieuk' has listed in this thread.
Everything went fine, until I reached steps 8 and 12, because my pc doesn't recognize the sd card either. (I've tried to put it in two other computers and another phone, but it hasn't been recognized in any of them. I've also tried to use another sd card in the sd card readers and adapter, and that sd card was recognized, but it was a SanDisk micro SD 2gb.)
Here's some background information.
Something like 7 months ago I rooted my HTC Desire (in the process of rooting I partitioned the sd card) and I put custom ROM 'opendesire v1.5' on it. I was satisfied with it, so I never changed it since then. But my HTC Desire stopped working properly something like 6 weeks ago. Every time I switched it on, it went into bootloop. So two weeks ago I did a hard reset via 'hboot' and my phone seemed to work again, but then I discovered that the sd card wasn't being recognized and that has been the problem ever since.
I've, btw., (temporarily) unrooted my phone with a RUU (android 2.1). I've not yet upgraded it to android 2.2, because I want my phone to function well first and I will probably root it again soon (if I will succeed with my sd card etc.)...
So... Have any of you got an idea? Could it be something with the readers that I've used (that they can't read micro sdhc cards)? Or because I once partitioned it? I really don't know...
Once again, I would really appreciate it if you could help me.
Thanks.
Regards
If nothing is picking it up then you have no partition on the SD card, or the wrong one. Format it with Windows to FAT32. If Windows picks it up, then Android should pick it up. If it isn't picking it in Android after the format, go to Settings > Storage and see if it's mounted in there, if not, then mount it, if you can't mount it, then it's either a problem with the rom or a problem with the SD card.
Okay, thanks. I'll try that.
Is it, btw., possible to get the data that's on it back?
Not if you format it. To be honest, the only way you can get data off it anyway is by getting it to mount, which it isn't doing.
Yeah, true... I should have made a backup. ;p
Okay, I just connected my phone with its sd card to my computer.
It actually shows a 'Removable Disk' in 'Computer',
but I cannot access it when I try to format it.
So I'm going to try to format it now, using an adapter.
Let me know how it goes
Hmmm.. When I put the micro sd card in an adapter and insert that into my computer, it sort of reacts to it. The icons at the bottom right sort of move, but that's all. When I look into 'Computer', there are no removable disks. I really don't know how to access it..
Plug it into your PC. Go to start, right click on my computer and click on manage. Click on disk management on the left and see if the SD card loads up

Okay, so I tried what you said, but the SD card doesn't load up.. I also tried it with that other SD card I talked about, just to check again if it really isn't because of the adapter, but that SD card was recognized.
Put it in your phone and loads up Android. By default, if Android detects a non compatible SD card then it will ask you to format it. If you don't get this option then I guess it's buggered and you'll need to get a new one.
It appears to be a USB brick....
See solution on this thread.

Had a similar problem myself, see if my little thread is of any use to you
As soon as I'll be back home, I'll try your suggestions. Thanks a lot, all of you.
I am a newbie to rooting and trying different roms. Today after trying different roms, my phone no longer identifies the sd card. I have tried almost everything but I am unsuccessful. Any help will be grateful thanks.

What rom were you on when the problem started? Do you have a card reader that you could put the sd card into, and then into your computer? Does the computer recognize the card? I would see if you can format the card with your computer, and then put the card back in the phone, and see if that helps. Just keep in mind that formatting the card will completely wipe it, so if you have any important stuff that you need saved, I'd copy it to your computer before formatting it.
Did you try just taking the card out of the phone, then putting it back in? Does the computer see the phone itself when you plug it in to the computer? If so, can you view the card from the computer when you select "disk drive"?
Dont have a card reader and I was using Mikfroyo 4.6. When I flashed back to the original rom that I have been using for the past couple of days it no longer recognizing the sd card

Strange. So the phone doesn't recognize it, nor does the computer when you plug it in via USB, correct? Do you get a green charging led when it's plugged in to the computer? Do you happen to have another phone that uses an sd card, to put your card into the other phone? If not, and you're unable to format the card using the phone, then I'd try to get a card reader. Either borrow one from a friend, or buy one. They're usually pretty cheap. If neither of those options are viable, perhaps see if you could try another sd card in your phone for a sec, if you have access to one. See the phone reads a different card. Hopefully you'll be able to try one of those options. There is a thread laying around here somewhere, by Calkulin, and it has instructions on how to fix broken sd card and / or usb port. I'll have to look for it, but I know it's around here somewhere. You may want to search for that thread.
i will look for the thread..I reset my phone but not back to stock and still unable to read the sd card
Ok, so I have a HTC EVO 4G and it's currently rooted running a MikRom. Recently, for some reason, when I plug my phone to a Mac or a Windows computer it does not recognize the phone in USB Mode. Specifically on my windows pc, I get a
"USB Device not recognized One of the usb devices attached has malfuntioned etc.. and I went through the process of trying to install the driver but nothing
I have also unmounted the card in settings and mounted it back and still nothing.. What I was going to do was completely erase my SD Card but will that erase my Root however?
It will not erase root.

Think about it like this; can you take your SD card out ans have the phone run perfectly fine? Then you can wipe it
Having trouble with AOSP? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295702
Very True, Do you think that reformatting my SD Card will possibly fix the issue of it not mounting on my computer

It's possible. However, before you do that, take the card out ant put directly into a card reader for a computer. This will let you know if the card is bad, or maybe the phone's reader is bad. If the card is bad, you can try error checking it in Windows, and maybe salvage the data on the card.
But if that doesn't work, try re-formatting it. It may help, it may not. If not, new 8gb cards are only a few bucks now.
Ok I have one at home Ill try

It very well could be your USB. Use an adapter as posted, then try another USB.

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 =/.
My sd card has stopped being recognized by my phone. It occasionally is recognized by CWM but then suddenly stops. I have reformatted it on my phone and using disk utility on my Mac, making sure to use fat 32. I have read several posts on Internet describing ways to diagnose and repair sd card using a pc, anybody know of any way to do this on a mac? Also, my mac recognizes it fine, both inside my phone when connected to mac and using the card through a reader. I don't want to scrap it since my computer recognizes it, but I really need it for my phone.

This also happened to me. My guess was the media scanner was messed up in the rom I was using but happened in multiple roms. Probably a software problem, but I couldn't fix the problem until I replaced the microsd card with a completely formatted and different one and has since been okay. I have my other microsd card as a back up though.
