[Q] SD card not being read

SD card won't be read when phone is on. When device is in recovery, I can USB toggle and see everything on my SD card. It's only when I try connecting through USB when on (CM6.1 or Myn TwoPointTwo) is when nothing happens (Myn) or the phone freezes and reboots (CM6.1).
I had my phone plugged in through USB while on CM6.1 RC2 and dropping in the new CM6.1 file into my phone when I forgot to eject and went straight into recovery. Now I can't install anything or mount my SD card. I can use ASTRO or a file manager app to view everything though.
As for nandroid, I deleted all my pre-USB **** up backups and only have the USB **** up RC2 backup. So that won't help. I'm guessing the device is still thinking it's plugged in because of my mistake. Any way to fix this?

I have noticed this as well lately under both Sense and AOSP roms. I can't mount my SDCARD from USB while the rom is running - only in recovery.
Odd. Wonder what is causing this?

I was talking to Shift and we came to the conclusion that my SD card is probably corrupt after shutting down while still mounted to my computer. I just extracted the folders that are important to me (pictures, Titanium Backup, etc) and will transfer them over to a new SD card once I buy one.
If anyone knows any way this might be fixed, I would appreciate it

Did you already try reformatting the card?

i had the same issue with my 16gb card.
I couldnt get it to read in the computer either unless I put it in the full sized SD adapter and put the "lock" switch on.
Needless to say, i couldnt do anything with it and ended up sending it back for a replacement.

I was hoping to exhaust all options before coming across this, but as I have nothing else to try I'm going to just format it. Hopefully I can format through recovery or something because it doesn't even let me unmount my SD card from Settings options.

Yeah, I figure I'll try my last option of formatting and see if it works. Here's to hoping! Lol.

Issue has been corrected by formatting SD card. Thanks for the replies :]

[Q] HTC Desire doesn't recognize sd card, please help.

Hi everybody,
I posted a similar post in one of the threads, but I did not get any replies. So I thought I might as well post a new thread.
I really hope that you can help me out.
My HTC Desire doesn't recognize the sd card (Samsung micro SDHC 4gb) that is in it. It also doesn't recognize another sd card (SanDisk micro SD 2gb).
I've tried to follow up the steps 'chippieuk' has listed in this thread.
Everything went fine, until I reached steps 8 and 12, because my pc doesn't recognize the sd card either. (I've tried to put it in two other computers and another phone, but it hasn't been recognized in any of them. I've also tried to use another sd card in the sd card readers and adapter, and that sd card was recognized, but it was a SanDisk micro SD 2gb.)
Here's some background information.
Something like 7 months ago I rooted my HTC Desire (in the process of rooting I partitioned the sd card) and I put custom ROM 'opendesire v1.5' on it. I was satisfied with it, so I never changed it since then. But my HTC Desire stopped working properly something like 6 weeks ago. Every time I switched it on, it went into bootloop. So two weeks ago I did a hard reset via 'hboot' and my phone seemed to work again, but then I discovered that the sd card wasn't being recognized and that has been the problem ever since.
I've, btw., (temporarily) unrooted my phone with a RUU (android 2.1). I've not yet upgraded it to android 2.2, because I want my phone to function well first and I will probably root it again soon (if I will succeed with my sd card etc.)...
So... Have any of you got an idea? Could it be something with the readers that I've used (that they can't read micro sdhc cards)? Or because I once partitioned it? I really don't know...
Once again, I would really appreciate it if you could help me.
Thanks.
Regards

If nothing is picking it up then you have no partition on the SD card, or the wrong one. Format it with Windows to FAT32. If Windows picks it up, then Android should pick it up. If it isn't picking it in Android after the format, go to Settings > Storage and see if it's mounted in there, if not, then mount it, if you can't mount it, then it's either a problem with the rom or a problem with the SD card.

Okay, thanks. I'll try that.
Is it, btw., possible to get the data that's on it back?

Not if you format it. To be honest, the only way you can get data off it anyway is by getting it to mount, which it isn't doing.

Yeah, true... I should have made a backup. ;p
Okay, I just connected my phone with its sd card to my computer.
It actually shows a 'Removable Disk' in 'Computer',
but I cannot access it when I try to format it.
So I'm going to try to format it now, using an adapter.

Let me know how it goes

Hmmm.. When I put the micro sd card in an adapter and insert that into my computer, it sort of reacts to it. The icons at the bottom right sort of move, but that's all. When I look into 'Computer', there are no removable disks. I really don't know how to access it..

Plug it into your PC. Go to start, right click on my computer and click on manage. Click on disk management on the left and see if the SD card loads up
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Okay, so I tried what you said, but the SD card doesn't load up.. I also tried it with that other SD card I talked about, just to check again if it really isn't because of the adapter, but that SD card was recognized.

Put it in your phone and loads up Android. By default, if Android detects a non compatible SD card then it will ask you to format it. If you don't get this option then I guess it's buggered and you'll need to get a new one.

It appears to be a USB brick....

unable to mount sd card

I am a newbie to rooting and trying different roms. Today after trying different roms, my phone no longer identifies the sd card. I have tried almost everything but I am unsuccessful. Any help will be grateful thanks.

What rom were you on when the problem started? Do you have a card reader that you could put the sd card into, and then into your computer? Does the computer recognize the card? I would see if you can format the card with your computer, and then put the card back in the phone, and see if that helps. Just keep in mind that formatting the card will completely wipe it, so if you have any important stuff that you need saved, I'd copy it to your computer before formatting it.
Did you try just taking the card out of the phone, then putting it back in? Does the computer see the phone itself when you plug it in to the computer? If so, can you view the card from the computer when you select "disk drive"?

Dont have a card reader and I was using Mikfroyo 4.6. When I flashed back to the original rom that I have been using for the past couple of days it no longer recognizing the sd card

Strange. So the phone doesn't recognize it, nor does the computer when you plug it in via USB, correct? Do you get a green charging led when it's plugged in to the computer? Do you happen to have another phone that uses an sd card, to put your card into the other phone? If not, and you're unable to format the card using the phone, then I'd try to get a card reader. Either borrow one from a friend, or buy one. They're usually pretty cheap. If neither of those options are viable, perhaps see if you could try another sd card in your phone for a sec, if you have access to one. See the phone reads a different card. Hopefully you'll be able to try one of those options. There is a thread laying around here somewhere, by Calkulin, and it has instructions on how to fix broken sd card and / or usb port. I'll have to look for it, but I know it's around here somewhere. You may want to search for that thread.

i will look for the thread..I reset my phone but not back to stock and still unable to read the sd card

[Q] Blank SD Card After Screen Replacement - Cant even change Rom

At first I searched at the forum and read all about it but nothing worked!
Ill tell you the story:
My screen got broken so I bough new screen from ebay which cost me 178INS (Israeli New Shekels)..If I will give to the company in Israel to fix it it will cost 500INS (A LOT MORE!)
So I fixed the screen myself with a guide.
After an hour of switching the screen everything was ok...I wanted to check my music speaker so I got into my music and played a song..everything was OK.
My Rom has some problems with SD Cards when you plug it into computer so..After couple of hours when phone was working as well I plugged in my phone to the computer...Its autumatticly make is Stroage so I changed it to Charge only.
After a minute I saw somthing which said "Blank SD Card-SD Card blank or has unsupported filesystem."
I read on the forum about that and couldnt find a solution.
I got my SD Card into another HTC friend's phone and His HTC couldnt read it..What I found out : No One can read my SD Card and I cant read anyone else SD Card
So I got my SD card into a SD Camera updater and formmated it with SD Card formatter that somone in the forum gave to me...It didnt work.. I think the problem is really comes from my ROM and somthing got messed in there..So I want to change my ROM without SD Card (Cus I can't) and after I install the new ROM to format my SD Card and put it into my phone...
Afer all of thier:
Q1 : What do you think that new Blank SD card have? why it has started? how can I fix it?
Q2 : How can I change now my ROM without SD card? is that possible?
Q3 : I saw some people that had it too after screen replacement and that is because somthing in the back of the phone is not right (But mine worked until I plugged it into my computer...Link to the theard : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440462 )
Thank you very much!

So then, the back covers are properly set?
Go into recovery, connect cell to computer, mount sd card, can you read the contents of the sd card that way?
As well, try someone else's sd card that way. Oh, and place something in the sd card - that is, if it's still working.
Sent from a dream.

Well..I guess the back is properly set cus it looks nice and it worked until I connected it to the computer...
And no..it Doesnt read the SD card that way ...
and that what is shows if I try to get into the recovery when the SD was insinde:when it get into HBOOT it gets stuck on
SD Checking...Loading...[PD98DIAG.zip]
Edit:
And when you say "The back covers are properly set"
What you mean the back cover?
SD card And Sim cover? Aluminum Cover? The hardware part?

Well?

Oh.... well, I'm out of ideas. My first thought is that it's a hardware issue. But if you say you were having problems before the screen replacement, then it could be rom related. Thing is, I would have thought that booting into recovery would be independant from the rom, thus, being able to read the sd card. However, I am not quite sure if the recovery is independant from the rom.
Regarding that it did work after the screen replacement does not mean everything was placed back correctly. But I do not want to recommend anything hardware wise since I have absolutely no knowledge in that regard.
If you can boot into your rom, and having adb push or whatever it's called, you may want to look into that to see if there is any possibility to fix your phone that way. It's usually used for other things, but you may want to look into that to see if it's possible.
That is, as long as you're sure that through recovery it is not working.
And as long as you feel confident that whatever you did to replace the screen did not leave anything loose. Once again, I have no idea regarding the hardware part.
Keep us posted. Maybe someone else may be able to help.

Well thank you very much !
Ill try those out, and trust me that I very appriciate that you try to help me..!
Ill post here if I will have another problem at this section and Ill post too if I will fix it..
Thanks again!

You're welcome. Keep us posted either way.... you may want to try one other thing, see if cleaning the contacts helps.

FRom the Phone memory?

Problem solved
Well after a week or so with that problem, today I decided to open the phone again and check if everything is allright.
Well, I opned the phone saw everything allright put all back but same problem.
I opned the phone again (Only the Aluminum Part), took it off, and put my freind's SD Card.
Suddenly it Worked!
I closed the phone when it turned on put all back with the SD Card inside, and suddenly the problem came back. lol.
I will make it short - After an hour of guessing what the hell is wrong, I saw at the left side of the sim and sdcard plata, an Sticker that looks like Cross With black square on it which didnt covered all of the parts it needs too, and because of that when I put in a Screw the screw touched an exposed part and because of that the SD card didnt worked... It was hard to understand but I put the sticker as well and now my phone works greate
Well if somone will have Blank SD Card after replacing screen on Htc Desire HD or another HTC's , look that everything is in the right place..
Anyway, thx for helping

Phone Wont Recognize/Read SD Card.

I want to start off by saying that I'm the type of person who likes doing things on my own before i get on the forums asking questions but Ive tried a lot of things and nothing seems to help.
So the issue I'm currently having is my phone doesn't recognize my SD card. When i go into the settings it says that the SD card is empty when in fact it's filled with my original files.
I know it's the phone cause I have tried several SD cards and it wont recognize them. Now if i have the SD card in the phone I can still scroll through the files using some kind of file manager but It wont load the apps on it like it used to. Another thing is if I connect the phone to my PC it will recognize the SD card and the files can be edited ect..
So the few things that i tried doing is removing the battery, removing SD card then inserting them both back in, formatting the SD card (killed my other one trying to format it btw) and still nothing. Wanted to go back to a date where the phone worked but since phone isn't reading the SD card it didn't let me.
Wanted to do a complete whipe so that at least I can get the phone to unrooted state but I'm afraid that the phone wont let me get into the files that are in the SD card to go back to stock ROM.
Don't know if the brand matters but i'll add the brand of the SD card anyways. It's SanDisk 1 GB. My other one that got burnt by some SD formatter was a Kingston. That one didn't work either. These SD cards worked on other phones BTW so i know it's either one the ROM or 2 the hardware.
Either way i have to get it to stock ROM to send it back to T-MOBILE so it can get fixed. Warranty is invalid when your phone is rooted. I am really in a tight situation.
If there is any advice that could lighten my day i'd greatly appreciate it.

Odin stock on it, see if it works after. You'll lose all user data. Also, sd cards fail/get corrupt. Happens all the time.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot to see if it works. Also, bought a SD card manager thing to connect to the computer and when it gets here going to try and see if it has any errors hopefully one of of these 2 things work.
