Did you try removing and inserting the sd card? This sometimes happens with my hero as well.

Hello guys!
Today i was going to mount my 8gb sd card,class 2 (which came in a SE vivaz) in my htc desire. The problem is that my Desire doesn´t detect the sd card. I don´t get the options, formate card etc in the settings. And when I plug it in the computer it doesn´t detect it anymore. It just stopped working. No I didn´t formate it before I tried it, in case you wonder.
I also tried it in a samsung sgh-900. It detects it and says the formate of the sd card cannot be read please formate the card, then yes or no. I press yes but then then a window with "error" pops up.
What could the problem be?
Regards
Kristian
If no device can read it, then I think sadly your card has died mate.

Have you formatted the sdcard to fat32?
sent from my android powered beast!
yes i have...also it was already in fat32!!hmmm..i did make a partition of 1gb ext2 for link2sd..but now am not able to view in in the partition manager......now i have only around 6gb for use...but that doesnt matter..i just want my card to be recognized in my phone!!
Some class 4 cards are not recognised. What class is yours?
i dont know...how do i find class f the card..its sandisk card that i bought..i m from india..also initially the card was working fine..after i made the partition this morning it stopped working...also card is mounting in clockwork mod recovery without any errors...so i guess theres no problem with the card..
P.S--if i revert back to non rooted stock HTC, will this be fine??

solved it finally...it was a simple step...i had to make a partition in the sd card through cwm and give the swap size as 0..finally its working..thanks for ur support guys!!
No Luck For Me
I believe it may just be a hardware issue I am having. But maybe someone can point me out to something helpful.
I put the card in, it is not recognized, by either the phone, or by CWM
With the phone on, and in 'Settings' -> 'SD & Phone Storage', the card does not appear. I slowly pull the card out, and 'Mount SD' & 'Erase SD Card' both go from unavailable (greyed out), to full on available and White for a split second. After that nothing...
It does this with 3 different cards. an 8G Class 4, a 2G Class 10, and a 2G Class 4
I've contacted HTC about it, but who knows when they'll get back to me. Anyone here know of a solution?
Try formatting the sdcard or reset phone.

Sorry. Tried that too. Multiple times

It's as if the contacts inside the phone are screwed up. Like I said, when I pull the card out of the phone, while in the settings, it recognizes it on the way out for a split second.
I've been trying for the last half-hour to try to get it right to that point where it flashes the 'mount' to white... but I must just have goofy thumbs, because I can't quite get it...
Following you I have lost all my datas from SD card

I HAD THIS PROBLEM once.... i put my card in another phone(not a smartphone, nokia 2730...) and formatted it... after that my card starts working on my phone... try that...
Heya,
I just received my repaired HTC Desire Z and seems they reset it and removed (and stole -.-) my SD card.
Now until I have a new SD card, I already wanted to try and root it again. But is that possible without one? Guides say that I need one with enough capacity but can't I use my internal space with 1GB?

(Evil people.) No u can't, u don't have access to this memory, even when u connect the phone to ur computer, u will not get any popup. When u will try to push something into the phone though ADB, it will say something about sdcard not mounted.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Yes You need an SD card, it's the only area of memory that you can store files to be flashed/restored/backedup/etc as rooting/flashing etc is going to wipe that internal memory anyways depending on which action.
Did you least notify them that they did not provide back an SD card?
But yea you'll need to get a new SD card for you to do anything recovery/rooting/etc wise.
Well I'm quite sure that I won't get my SD card back since it was the HTC repair center and I guess it is a standard procedure to remove SIM card and sd card before resetting anything. I was warned by the shop with the sim card but guess he forgot to tell me about the sd card. Gonna try it but well...
Anyways, can I borrow an sd card from a friend, root my smartphone and give it back afterwards? Or are the files on the card required?
Nope you can use the borrowed sdcard and then not use an sd until you get one. Any files put on that sd are not of use for the most part after root. You can save them to your pc and download them to your sd when you get it if you'd like but you'll be fine with out them as well

Great thanks for the quick reply
Recently got my phone which runs through Kodoos and cant seem to find an answer online via HTC manual?
ive browsed several SDcard threads here on the forums and none seem to be covering my problem?
in the Settings/Storage menu:
Storage card:
Total space
Unavailable
Available
Unavailable
Make more space
*light grey and cant access*
Mount storage card
*light grey and cant access*
Erase storage card
*light grey and cant access*
Storage card encryption
*light grey and cant access*
--------------------------------------
[Q]: Is there a way to format this SDcard?
[Q]: is there a way to change the setttings whereas pics, music ,etc, can be directly sent to the SDcard?
[Q]: how do i access the SDcard when it wont let me into the card or it shows it is unavailable?
Try to format the card in pc using an incompatible format like ntfs and then put it in the phone and then the phone should ask you if you want to format the card. If not try to go to settings and format manually.

dude. just format the sdcard using your pc in FAT16 format. you can also try fat32 but I don't know how it plays with android.
cheers!
PS: after you format it using the above method, it's good to take the sdcard out from your phone and then put it back. just to be on the safe side

well...tried FAT16 and no luck?
im getting very frustrated at the thought of a phone that doesnt even see a simple SDcard when my PC does?
Well it might be some hardware issue. The phone does not recognize that sd card is in right? Does the phone show something when you plug in the card while the phone is on?
Did you try to put in other card?

nothing shows up when putting the card into the phone while it is on, but it does state SDCARD REMOVED when pulling it out from the phone
May be the SD card have some defect. Insert some other SD card and see if the phone nose it out.

ill probably end up doing that and just buy a new sdcard but i have a feeling itll do he same thing seeing as my PC sees it just fine and my last phone used it without a glitch. Now formatting this card for this phone, ive lost 1gb of photos!
Well I just did a small test. I have formatted a spare SD card with NTFS(I used MiniTool Partition Wizard for that) and put it in the phone. It told me that the SD card is blank and not properly formatted and asked if I want to format the card.
So this is something that your phone should do too. So my conclusion is that there must be either something wrong with the card or with the phone. So hurry to try a different SD card and if it doesn't work you should ask for replacement device.

thanks everyone so very much for all your help!!!
i called Future Shop (where i purchased my device) and explained everything including your guys help to them, and they said it sounds like the devices card reader is defective. So...seeing as i just got this on Friday last week, i can exchange it for a new device at no cost.
:good:
just got back in from future shop....
seems it was the sdcard that was defective but...
after coming home, i reformatted the old sdcard back to ntfs and dropped a pic on it from my PC and it still works?? lol
for some odd reason the device just didnt see the card? maybe cuz it was generic? maybe cuz it was only 1gb? i dunno??
however...got me a new 8gb sdcard for 14.00, thatll do me just fine!!
again, thanks for all the help

I am also having same problem with my htc one v
plzzzzzzz help me
I dnt knw wht to now
I have tried all the technic which is written above but still the problem is same
Three days ago i found out what rooting was, and i thought i would try it, so after many searches i managed to root my phone. Next i tried to install CM 10 on my htc one v cdma, and at first it kept rebooting, but i managed to fix that. My problem now is that whenever I try to go into storage the phone goes out of settings and says "unfortunately, settings has stopped" i don't think it is mounted, but on the notifications bar it says its safe to remove the sd card, this is not the only problem, sometimes when i turn it on or wake it up the phone background is like copies of things... i cant really explain it, but it looks like it has 10 clocks, or phone icons everywhere, and i cant click on anything.
Can someone please help me it would be appreciated.
ps (I keep hearing about jellyboot 5 kernel, but when i search google for a download it turns up nothing every time, so can someone please projide a link).
Thank you all ahead of time.
u didnt factory reset. Do a factory reset and flash kernel.

Use the 12-30 super sick kernel. It solves a lot of issues. Id also suggest backing all your data from your sd card to your computer and letting android reformat the card.
Sure it takes a few minutes, but it solves problems.
