sd card not mounting - Desire General

Hi
My SD card does not mount on 2.2 I do click mount but nothing happens

<need more details>
Sorry, my Crystal ball is away for recalibrating, can't help you right now
- plain 2.2?
- rooted?
</need more details>

Plain 2.2 mate

When I connect my stock desire 2.2, i dont get "mount" in the notification area, (even when it was 2.1). how did you manage to get that option?
i downloaded "auto mount" from the market, its just a tick box, you tick it before you connect your phone and your SD Card will be mounted, if you unticked it before you connect your SD Card will not be mounted .. works for me

Internet Downloads?

When I try to download things from the internet onto my phone, it says I have insufficient storage. I formatted my SD and now have over 7GB of free space so I think the downloads are saving to my phone instead of my SD card. The problem is, when I go into my internet settings to "Download storage" it says "Storage card" underneath but it's grayed out. How do I fix this problem?
Anyone??? Please?

Did you format your SD card via your phone or via computer. If via computer, format it from your phone. Menu - Settings - SD & Phone Storage.

^I formatted it on my computer. Now, I just formatted it on my phone and my SD card wouldn't mount so I rebooted and now I'm stuck on loop on the FreshEvo boot screen.

Turn your phone off and then remove the SD card. Boot your phone to make sure you can boot normally. Afterwards, turn off your phone, reinsert your card and reboot, if you get stuck again, reboot into recovery and, depending on what you have, you *might* be able to format the card from there. If not, reformat via your phone. It *should* work. It always work for me.

I'm still stuck on the loop without the SD card in, and when I boot into Recovery it says it can't mount the SD card.

Your problem is not the SD card then. Your phone will operate without it. If you done a nandroid backup, I recommend that you use it to restore your phone to operating status and reformat your card once completed. Sorry for the delayed responses, I'm doing chores and stuff and reading the forums as time permits.

When I try to restore nandroid it just says SD can't be mounted.

Do you, by chance, have a spare SD card? I just want to see you get out of the loop and into your phone's menu. I don't see the connection with you being unable to boot completely and your SD card because the card is not mounted until after you're at your homescreen. Also, if you're unable to mount your card for a nandroid restore then your phone is useless, but not completely so don't fret. Therefore, acquire a different card and go from there. If you have To buy one, buy a 4gb card. Remember, we're trying to get you to your homescreen and if push comes to shove, the ability to flash your rom.

I'm having the same issue with my HTC Desire. The Download Storage option in the browser settings appears grayed out. I've formatted the card through the phone menu, I've rebooted it but the issue remains.
Did anyone solve this?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Partitoned and cant go bak!

i recently partitoned my htc evo 4g,but i have no idea how to undo it.Ive heard you can just use normal hardrive management software,but when i plug my fone in and open it in my computer,it says under it FAT32 and a little dialog box popsup saying "acess denied".I was hoping there would be someway to recover all my stuff on the sd card,or is it all gone,because all of a sudden i have like 6.89gb left on my sd ,and before this accident i only had like 191mb.

The only way to undo ir is ro repartition it. Im not aware of anything like Partition Magic for smartphones or SD cards.

Does your computer have a card reader or do you have access to a card reader to see if it can be done?

That is where I'm confused. Normally, when you partition a card, all of its contents are erased. My question to you is this: after you partitioned your card, were you able to access its contents? If so and if you have amon RA as your recovery, go into recovery, plug your EVO to your computer and then select the "MS-USB" option from within recovery. Your card should mount and be seen by your computer. You should be able to copy the contents of your card to your computer of all is well. If not, consider the contents erased and simply re-partition the card from within recovery or go to the wipe menu of the recovery and select "wipe SD card"

On my mac, when my phone is plugged in, it will recognize both partitions and format the whole card.
Also, you can go into recovery and partition the card again, but choose 0 for heap and 0 for partition. It will reformat with not partition.
You can repartition either using recovery and selecting 0 for the ext partition size, or use windows diskpart utility to delete/repartition. Under windows, you will need a third party utility to format the space as fat32 however.

[Q] Phone storage (SD card) not visible after updating to JellyBean. Was encrypted.

I have a stock HTC One X. It was not rooted, nor unlocked.
Encryption was enabled on the phone.
Today, after receiving and applying the JellyBean OTA update, I can't see the SD card anymore. Most apps complain that it is unmounted.
If I connect the phone to the computer over USB, I don't have the "disk drive" option anymore, and I can only see a "HTC Sync Manager" partition with the HTC Sync software on it, which was not there before.
If I go into Settings/Storage, I have in the "App storage" section a 30.18 GB Other entry, which I assume is the SD card. The "Phone storage" section is listed a s Unavailable, and grayed out.
Can I somehow make the SD card visible again? Even if it means losing the data on it (I had backup).
Are u on the custom recovery (cwm 5.8.4.0)
Enter recovery - mounts & storage - at the bottom of that menu is mount as USB
Try that
Sorry not rooted nor unlocked. Did u update the HTC drivers , could be helpful
When i plug it in i see sync manager just like you but i also see the mtp drive as HTC one x ...
I dont know if it is what u mean, but after JB the way u get acces to your storage when you connect it to the PC has changed, is no longer a mass storage device, u can't no longer do the "safe removal" from taskbar and its not shown along with your other disks in My PC.
I use app backup and restore, and when it first opened it warned me that no sd card was found mounted, but it still works

after uptade to jelly bean when i plug the usb cable dont appear like in ICS for choose to charge or to hard disk.
so how to solve this?
thx regards
did you looked on pc also...? it can also be that you must update htc sync because of the mtb thingy.....second should be look for an sd speed app..and set it to 128 instead of most 2048.....
if that also fail...the data should be gone...maybe a wipe script that also wiped sd card or something like this
go into recovery and mount usb storage

what version of cwm...htc sync updated..?
yes htc sync is updated and the cwm is 5.8.4.0.
thx
so from that side all ok...if you are in a file explorer...and go to sd..you see something...? if yes..try to mount from clockwork...if not work...try to copy the files with adb
Tough luck brother, if all else fails then deal with it. Many, including me, have faced the same. Good luck to you.
When you mount the USB mass storage in recovery you have to stay on that screen or it will auto-unmount. Once you've done that load up Recuva from Piriform and scan for the phones storage on the pc.

Hey alex!
Ok bud, first, which version of recover are you running Clockwork or TWRP?
If you are running Clockwork im more familiar with it as i havent used TWRP too much yet, but if so, make sure that you go into "mounts and Storage" and make sure the one of your options says "unmount storage/sdcard1" if it says the word "Unmount" in front of the option that means that your external SD card is mounted and you have another problem, if it says "Mount" all you have to do is select it so it mounts your SD Card.
Also if that doesnt work, go into "Mounts and Storage" and select the second to last option that says "Mount USB Storage" and if you have your phone connected to your PC, you will be able to transfer the files from the External card to your internal memory on the phone and then you will be able to flash!
Good luck bud i hope this helps, if you have any other questions just ask and ill do my best to help you
