SD card not Mounting Cyanogenmod

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

[Q] Perm rooted g2... now having sd card errors?

I've perm rooted with visionary.... now for some reason when i go to use camera or load anything off the sd card it says its read only. so it remounts it and again the same thing? any ideas?

Your SD card is probably on the way out.
I had the same thing on my DZ. A couple of times when I got the same error as you, I copied all the files off the SD and reformatted it in my PC. Usually I'd get errors whilst trying to copy the files.
After reformatting and copy the files back it'd be OK for a few days then the problem would reoccur.
Finally I bought a new card and everythings been fine since... Touch wood.

Solution for SD card not mounting after custom ROM installation

I have seen dozens of posters on different forums having this problem, and I think a common thread may be beneficial. If the mods disagree, or if you feel this is an inappropriate place for this thread, please let me know where I should move it to, because I really would like to help others learn from what I've discovered.
I have an HTC desire, and I recently started experimenting with rooting my phone, and installing custom ROMs. I quickly realized I wanted to use A2SD but my 8gig microSD card was only class 2, so I decided to upgrade before taking this step.
I was using AuraxTSense and I bought a 16gig patriot class 10 microSD card. Unfortunately, when I put the new card in, my phone would refuse to mount it. I knew the card was good as I could use it and format it in my card reader.
I would get the message it is now safe to remove SD card, and "Disk Drive" wouldn't show up as an option when I connected the phone to my computer.
I thought the problem was AuraxTSense, so I flashed LeeDroid on there. Same problem.
I reverted the phone to my provider's (Telus) RUU, and that seemed to allow my card to be recognized. This confirmed that the fix would be in the software.
I scoured dozens of forum threads, and tried everything people have suggested, using fastboot, using adb, nothing worked.
Finally one thing did, and I would like to share it.
1) I reverted my phone to the provider's RUU
2) I re-rooted my phone using unRevoked to flash clockwork
3) I used unRevoked AGAIN to flash AmonRa onto the phone
4) I booted into AmonRa recovery and made an ext2 partition on my SD card
5) I upgraded the ext2 partition to ext3 (not sure if this is important, but i did it)
6) I flashed LeeDroid ROM.
All problems solved. Custom ROM, shiny SD card, and A2SD.
I hope this can reach and help some other people that I see having this problem.

[Q] SD card not recognized/doesn't mount [SOLVED]

Hello,
Got another problem here. I've had CyanogenMod 7 installed and that worked perfectly.
My device is S-OFF and has the CM7 HBOOT.
I thought to give MIUI a shot, so i installed the latest version 1.4.8 A2SD version.
That one installed fine but it couldn't find my SD card for pictures, music... it said no SD was installed.
I went back in recovery, and yes.... i can't mount my SD card anymore. No ADB access, partitioning is no option as it is not there.
I pushed a new recovery (Amon RA recovery 2) but that doesn't help.
What went wrong ?

Fixed!
I really don't understand how these things can happen just by flashing a new rom, i feel that there are more problems than months ago. Anyway, i used this to fix:
'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0'
Cheers

Hi there,
I am glad you found a solution. What i found was when trying to copy an .apk file from my laptop to my desire 8gb card( FAT, 1GB Ext 4, 300MB Ext 4, Swap ) i could never access the file. In fact, SDcard Mounted readonly pops up if i go to the directory where the file is using Astro explorer. My Rom is RCmixHD 3.5 rotating. Even if i create a few folders and then put the file in, i can go as far as where the file is. Maybe the file is corrupt?
Anyway, where is the rom you flashed and is it a patch of some sort? Thanks.

I have spent many a night trying to figure out exactly what is the cause that a SD mounts as read only while attempting to perform certain functions, but works fine if you use the same SD card in another device. The only conclusion I have is, I assume that the Desire doesn't like cheap cards. Things like class, capacity and brand are key regarding SD cards. So many check in those areas ...

I personally think its or the alpharev, or the Hboot.

[Q] SD Card issues

I have a PC36100 Evo 4g. I tried the following method to fix the SD Card issue but with no luck..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243
I run the command as instructed and it goes just fine, but the phone still does not detect an SD card.. This all began after using the HTCDev root method here.
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...-rooting-gingerbread-2-3-5-dummies-guide.html
I did step 1 and unlocked the bootloader without any problems.
I did step 2 and installed amon ra 2.3 via the fastboot method without any problems.
And now I am at step 3, I have the ROM that I want to install, however I can do nothing because there is no SD card detected.
I have tested the 8gb SD card in another device and there are no issues detecting it. I have also tried various other SD cards in the PC36100 and they are not detected either.
