sd card not mounting

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

[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

Internal Disk & MMC Gone !!

Firstly Happy New Year to all on the forum, my phone has just had a disaster can anyone help please.
My AT&T Glide crashed today in town, and on reboot I couldnt see the MMC 32gb card, which I thought had been corrupted. Well it was, when I put in another 16gb card the phone wont mount it, then I noticed that the internal usb disk isnt mounted either or even recognised ??
Hows this happened and can it be restored simply do I have to download a new dev rom and re flash from the 1.18gb I have left shown on phone as I cant put it to MMC card.
My phone has custom firmware Osimood.0122.RUXKJ5 which has been great up until this MMC sd card crash.
Any help gratefully received as its my work phone and I need it up and running asap.
Many thanks
Paul

Can you boot into cwm? I assume you have it installed. See if you can access the internal sd card from there. If yes then most probably a simple flash will fix everything, or even a nandroid backup assuming you have that as well. If no its not seen in CWM, then I do not know someone else will have to chime in, seems like something is very wrong for it to suddenly lose its memory. Could be some type of controller our buffer that went.

Thank you for your reply, I went in to CWM and can see an update file on a the sd card so technically if I get the Osimood zip file I could reinstall the system but I am unsure which disk it is seeing this file from I dont think its the external MMC or internal USB so how to I get the file on a storage area that the phone can see.
On the phones settings, under storage pane, USB now has the option to Format USB storage, this has appeared since mounting the system files etc within CWM as most were set to unmounted, but it would not let me mount the sd card as far as I could tell from CWM, when I go to update system menu the option to install update.zip but which disk is this as I could not mount any disk from CWM to view mounted files such as directories etc.
I am in the process of recovering the MMC card that the phone crashed so not all is lost, but I am pretty sure there were files in the Glides USB storage that I would like to save if possible, if I format this storage I am unlikely to recover whats on it, but would a straight reinstall of Osimood format this disk anyway ?
One last question does anyone know what the option "download" is on the power off menu on Osimood it is along side recovery, reboot and power off etc.

Sorry one last thing I have noticed, when in storage settings SD card has the option to mount when selected it says preparing sd card but nothing actually happens the notice just goes and I'm back to square one, USB has no option in the menu to mount just to format.
I hope that the above is significant in what has happened here.
Thanks

Boot into CWM, enable "mount USB storage", then use a PC to check the internal storage for filesystem problems.
If that doesn't fix it, next step is to factory reset I'm afraid.

Hi everyone, thank you so much for all the assistance I have been at work and therefore forced to format the internal disk which once down the ext sd card became visible again ??? once reinstalling the apps again all is well again, my biggest issue is that all the sd card app back ups failed me as it wiped the ext sd card the internal was wiped on reformat so had to start again.
Note to self back up apks to computer is much safer the ext sd card.
Just hope it doesnt happen again the apk shopper was the culprit that crashed it all.
Many thanks brilliant forum.

Unable to mount SD and to boot

Hy all,
First, excuse my english, I'm french.
This morning I was on call and suddently, it stopped and my phone freezes. I had to remove the battery.
But know, I'm unable to boot again.
Since I decided to remove the bootlogo, I don't know if it's right after the HTC screen or while booting (I knew it was a bad idea...)
Finally, after some tries, I've been able to access hboot and recovery. But recovery took 46 secs to boot and said "Unable to mount SD card" or something like that. I tried on my computer and the SD card can be accessed.
So, I would like to know if someone had the same issue or if someone can help.
Thx!
Infos :
DHD running CodefireX SR19 and latest radio. No other sign since the release of SR19 some weeks ago.

sounds like you need to reformat SD card on computer. But first copy 4ext folder to computer then format SD. After format SD place 4ext folder back on SD then remount SD to phone see if that helps. You may have to full wipe and reflash rom when you enter recover do to apps moved to SD will no longer be there but may show in rom and when you try to open they will force close.
