I just swapped my old SD for a new 32gb one and all seemed fine until I tried to partition it. It got stuck in a boot loop after and now will not go past it. I've tried reformating it but it stays stuck. If I swap back to my old Sd card I can do a nandroid but the 32gb still wont work.
one difference I've noticed between the old and new is the old (working) card comes up with "no image" when I load into HBoot. The new one does nothing.
Any ideas welcome as I'm far from an expert here.
Thanks
Hi, did you try to use it in your pc? I had the same problem with my 16gb. Try format it in your pc. For me this worked.

I have a mac. I used Disk Utility to format it to MS-FAT, something that has worked with previous cards. I can copy files to the card if i mount it in recovery, but the files are not recognized (I copied a rom across to try and flash it)
Can you format the card in recovery? My mba had also Problems with the 16gb card. I formated it in my camera, after that everything worked well.

When I tried to access an app that was installed on SD, my phone locked up. Upon a reboot I no longer have access to the card, all the apps' shortcuts are broken and all the options like mount SD card, format SD card are greyed out. Also when I connect the use cable there is no option to mount as disk drive anymore. I've rebooted, tried removing the card etc but no luck. Anyone else had this? I can't find my micro SD card adapter right now so I cart try it in my pc.

Did you try running checkdisk from windows to repair it?
No cos I can't mount it in Windows

Try repartitioning your sd card. Could be a corrupt ext partition, or your sd is completely screwed.

Sounds like a bigger problem than a broken ext if nothing can read/mount the sd card. Might be the end of your sd cards life im afraid

I've only had it about 2 months.....get what you pay for I suppose (click). Anyway still no luck with the adapter so I'll see if anyone's got one at work tomorrow.
OK, I found my adapter (and my old microSD card hiding within), windows has no problems seeing the 16gb card and my old (original 4gb) card has the same problem in the phone. For good measure I did a chkdsk on the card.
What are my options?
I've performed a full reset and still got the problem. Anyone got any suggestions?
anyone? I'm thinking it's a desire hardware fault.
any help? cheers
A number of us have had failed SD cards. In my case, Windows could see it well enough to copy most of the data off but failed to reformat it. I suggest you try to copy the data somewhere safe and then reformat in Windows. If the reformat works it's probably a hardware issue. If the reformat doesn't work it's probably the card.
I'm sure others will have different views!
Yeah but it's same with both my cards. I'll give it a go anyway cheers.
The one that came with the phone .. ( 8GB Class 2 ) came up with with a read only error last week ...
The card was dead.
I got a 8GB card class 6... used app brain .. and restored all my apps fine... etc
fab.. phones faster .. no problems
After inserting my old card again I now get the dreaded -
SD card damaged. You may have to reformat it.
Of course when you follow the wizard to format it, it doesn't seem to format it. I did try a full format in Windows earlier, no luck.

Just to help anyone who stumbles over this thread in search of an answer, I've had to send it away for repair, it appears to be a hardware fault. 2-3 weeks.
Today I installed the rom called Pirate rum. But now I can't mount my SD card. I tried booting into recovery to flash another rom. But not even clockwork can mount it.
I have tried using a cardreader in my computer. It reads the card fine.
I then backed up files and formatted the card, but it's still unreadable.
Also tried another card.
Are there anyone who might be able to help?

does the device read your sim card? it sounds like a usb brck if, its happening with more than one card
It reads the sim card. It's the SD card which doesn't work...
Also tried with amon ra.
I got it!
It was usb bricked. I remembered a tutorial from modaco, and fixed it.
Thanks Androhero. (For making me think it could be that. )
Ive got a new 16gb card coming, im running leedroid 2.2f with apps2sd. I thought it would be a simple swap but seemingly it isnt. Whats the best way to get everything onto the 16gb? Ive got a microsd card reader for the pc.
I dealt with the same issue recently. I copied everything from my old card to the PC, and then used ROM Manager to format and partition the new card. Aftrr that I copied everything I had on the old card to the new card. I'm using a variation of Leedroid's ROM as well.
Best of luck

How do I going about getting the data from the other partition? as I cant see that in explorer
Haven't thought of that. I didn't have a partition on my old card.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
well, bit the bullet, downloaded ubuntu, partitioned new sd card and copied everything from old card to new partitions, ext3 and fat. Put in phone and constant reboot at leedroid screen. I'd done a clockworkmod backup before hand so run restore and everythings okay now. Not the tidiest way of doing it but its worked.

Pls can someone help me to sort that out.
My Desire is s-off with Hboot 0.93
Sounding like the SDcard is "deactivated". Maybe it's the usb-brick? Try a search for that. I think there was anything about reactivatIng SDcard...

I juste encountered today the exact same problem : After a Nand back-up using CWM, I discovered that nothing had been written on the SD-Card.
Whan I tried to reboot, I entered into a boot loop.
Back in recovery, I had no mean to mount /sdcard or /sd-ext : I always get an error message "Can't mount ..."
I am S-OFF, Hboot 0.93.
Any help ?
can't mount sdcard
hi today i have bought another sd card. Formated and partition it using gparted. put the card on my phone et voila the phone boot normally and enter the OS. But the card problem is still there and i can access all the apps on the phone. setting is no longer available on the phone. Any idea how can we sort that as i can see a lot of people is encountering this issue. there is no one who can address this issue?
i have got a link to that forum and have try to follow the instructions but stuck on the first step. It says you must root your phone as mine is already rooted but may be we have to re-root it. While connecting my phone i'm getting found new hardware: Qualcomm cdma. I have search the net and downloaded and install activesyn but can't found the phone. I am unable to root it. Any suggestion?
Same problem here although I have a htc explorer. I continuously have to keep reinstalling my Rom and formatting my sd card. Its probably because of software bugs
is your phone say "sd card removed. please insert a new one"?
if yes, try to backup your data and format the SD card with CWM Recovery.
mine was back to normal after partitioned by CWM

Don't waste your money on sd cards. You should get an sd card adapter/reader to format your card using your computer. Sometimes the format option on mobiles do not function properly.

As long as your sd is readable by your computer, you should be able to mount your sd card using cwm recovery

Enable the SD Card functionality. Boot your phone in FASTBOOT mode (back + power), and enter this command: 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' . This will re-enable your SD card."
I have a CDMA Desire that would not read the sd card. I tried all the different tutorials I could find, but nothing worked. I finally ended up taking the phone apart, and there was a connection right beside the sd card slot that was partially disconnected. I reconnected that and everything works fine now.
Seems like connections disconnect fairly often with the desire (GPS, LED, SD card, etc..) so if nothing else works and you are comfortable taking your phone apart, you could try that.
Here is a video of how to disassemble the phone.

Hello, I am on an HTC One V running PACman ROM 15.3, with the kernel JmzPrimoC+.
I started having this problem a couple weeks ago. It would randomly unmount my SD card saying 'SD card unexpectedly removed'.
This started to happen more and more often until it would say that as soon as I put the SD card in.
I did a factory reset, which helped for about 5 minutes before it started happening again. Now, more recently, it started saying 'Damaged SD card. SD card is damaged. Try reformatting it.'
I put it in my computer (which doesn't show anything wrong with it), and did a full format. It didn't help at all.
This problem is happening with both my regularly used SD card (SanDisk Ultra® microSDHC™ UHS-I 32 GB (the red and grey one)), and my ordinary SD card (8 GB class 4 Kingston).
I don't think this can be a hardware problem because when I boot to recovery, TWRP recognizes it perfectly.
But I don't either see how its a software problem, because a factory reset should have helped...
Please help me, any help will be greatly appreciated.
Maybe its a bug in the rom?

Hhmmm...
Good idea. What other ROMs work with JmzPrimoC+ kernel? AOKP?
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
OK, update, now TWRP won't read the card! Either card!
Now I'm getting really nervous...
Does this mean it must be hardware?
Is there ANYTHING I can do now?
Please help!
Wow, I screwed up really bad.
I was gonna use TWRP to flash a new rom, so I did a factory reset, and then started flashing the rom.
But in middle of flashing the rom it was interrupted. So I rebooted, rereset, and then I realized... it's not reading my card.
I can boot to bootloader and recovery, but that's it. No OS. I'm screwed.
Is there ANYTHING I can do?
Is it possible to flash a rom over USB? Or SOMEHOW get my card working again?
Just enter recovery and use adb sideload to flash a ROM.

But I need an SD card in order to use ADB sideload!
It fails every time because
Code:
E:Unable to mount /sdcard
Is there ANY way to do this without an SD card?
OK, I was able to do it following this guide.
I flashed the latest version of PACman. Still rejecting my SD card though.
I guess it's a hardware issue. Too bad my warranty is void from bootloader unlock :\
Try to partition SD Card in recovery
I am facing same issue and I came across this thread while looking for solution. Here is what I tried. That resolved issue for five minutes and then damn! same issue again but someone can find possible fix using the info here.
HTC One V rooted, currently running MIUI 3.1.2 with JB 4.1.2
Sandisk 8 GB SD Card.
Firmware CWM Recovery
I was facing same issue even before I rooted my phone while Original HTC ICS 4.0 Firmware was installed. MY observation is the problem starts few months after you start using SD Card. (Insert a new SD card in your phone, it will work fine for days / months and then will start giving same error.
While I tried thousand time to remove SD card, clean slot, clean card and reinsert, it did not work. May be worked just once for few seconds. When I tried to connect phone to PC and browse SD card contents, the card was not detected.
Booted to recovery, tried to format card, not detected. Tried to mount SD card, not detected. Then tried to partition SD card in Advanced options in recovery. The available options are 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1024MB, 2048MB and 4096MB. Since my SD card is 8 GB, chose the largest option. Now got an option to choose SWAP partition size. Chose 256 MB. Next chose option fix permissions, you have to wait until you see message permissions fixed message on screen.
Now rebooted phone, and voila! It worked!! SD card with 3.94GB memory is detected. But what happened to my rest of 4 GB?
Tried many apps to manage SD card from Play store. Using an app called APart, was able to delete partitions on SD card and create new ones. It worked for few minutes and then again I got SD card unexpectedly removed message.
Does this info makes any sense? I am not a developer and do not know much into phones but someone who know might be able to help. Buying a new SD card is not an option here because its going to work temporarily.
Have you tried formatting the SD card with your computer?
