Sdcard cannot mount! - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Today I installed the rom called Pirate rum. But now I can't mount my SD card. I tried booting into recovery to flash another rom. But not even clockwork can mount it.
I have tried using a cardreader in my computer. It reads the card fine.
I then backed up files and formatted the card, but it's still unreadable.
Also tried another card.
Are there anyone who might be able to help?

I forgot what its called and im not home right now but i have it instaled on my pc. Ill tell you when i get home

does the device read your sim card? it sounds like a usb brck if, its happening with more than one card

It reads the sim card. It's the SD card which doesn't work...
Also tried with amon ra.

I got it!
It was usb bricked. I remembered a tutorial from modaco, and fixed it.
Thanks Androhero. (For making me think it could be that. )

[Q] New SD card not working?

I just swapped my old SD for a new 32gb one and all seemed fine until I tried to partition it. It got stuck in a boot loop after and now will not go past it. I've tried reformating it but it stays stuck. If I swap back to my old Sd card I can do a nandroid but the 32gb still wont work.
one difference I've noticed between the old and new is the old (working) card comes up with "no image" when I load into HBoot. The new one does nothing.
Any ideas welcome as I'm far from an expert here.
Thanks
Hi, did you try to use it in your pc? I had the same problem with my 16gb. Try format it in your pc. For me this worked.

I have a mac. I used Disk Utility to format it to MS-FAT, something that has worked with previous cards. I can copy files to the card if i mount it in recovery, but the files are not recognized (I copied a rom across to try and flash it)
Can you format the card in recovery? My mba had also Problems with the 16gb card. I formated it in my camera, after that everything worked well.

SD card not being detected

When I tried to access an app that was installed on SD, my phone locked up. Upon a reboot I no longer have access to the card, all the apps' shortcuts are broken and all the options like mount SD card, format SD card are greyed out. Also when I connect the use cable there is no option to mount as disk drive anymore. I've rebooted, tried removing the card etc but no luck. Anyone else had this? I can't find my micro SD card adapter right now so I cart try it in my pc.

Did you try running checkdisk from windows to repair it?
No cos I can't mount it in Windows

Try repartitioning your sd card. Could be a corrupt ext partition, or your sd is completely screwed.

I'll have to find my adapter

Sounds like a bigger problem than a broken ext if nothing can read/mount the sd card. Might be the end of your sd cards life im afraid

I've only had it about 2 months.....get what you pay for I suppose (click). Anyway still no luck with the adapter so I'll see if anyone's got one at work tomorrow.
OK, I found my adapter (and my old microSD card hiding within), windows has no problems seeing the 16gb card and my old (original 4gb) card has the same problem in the phone. For good measure I did a chkdsk on the card.
What are my options?
I've performed a full reset and still got the problem. Anyone got any suggestions?
anyone? I'm thinking it's a desire hardware fault.
any help? cheers
A number of us have had failed SD cards. In my case, Windows could see it well enough to copy most of the data off but failed to reformat it. I suggest you try to copy the data somewhere safe and then reformat in Windows. If the reformat works it's probably a hardware issue. If the reformat doesn't work it's probably the card.
I'm sure others will have different views!
Yeah but it's same with both my cards. I'll give it a go anyway cheers.
The one that came with the phone .. ( 8GB Class 2 ) came up with with a read only error last week ...
The card was dead.
I got a 8GB card class 6... used app brain .. and restored all my apps fine... etc
fab.. phones faster .. no problems
After inserting my old card again I now get the dreaded -
SD card damaged. You may have to reformat it.
Of course when you follow the wizard to format it, it doesn't seem to format it. I did try a full format in Windows earlier, no luck.

Just to help anyone who stumbles over this thread in search of an answer, I've had to send it away for repair, it appears to be a hardware fault. 2-3 weeks.

Changing SD card

Ive got a new 16gb card coming, im running leedroid 2.2f with apps2sd. I thought it would be a simple swap but seemingly it isnt. Whats the best way to get everything onto the 16gb? Ive got a microsd card reader for the pc.
I dealt with the same issue recently. I copied everything from my old card to the PC, and then used ROM Manager to format and partition the new card. Aftrr that I copied everything I had on the old card to the new card. I'm using a variation of Leedroid's ROM as well.
Best of luck

How do I going about getting the data from the other partition? as I cant see that in explorer
Haven't thought of that. I didn't have a partition on my old card.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
well, bit the bullet, downloaded ubuntu, partitioned new sd card and copied everything from old card to new partitions, ext3 and fat. Put in phone and constant reboot at leedroid screen. I'd done a clockworkmod backup before hand so run restore and everythings okay now. Not the tidiest way of doing it but its worked.

i guess its time to buy a new card...even my card had same prob..

Try reformat it in the PC using Gparted - if that's not working, Search for USB BRICK and fixing.
If that won't help, then buy a new SD.
Well if thats the case, i will recover al my files with the repair programs i have,and then try to format it..but i was hoping for a way to recover everything without formatting the card..

Gparted live? Have never used it since all partitions are made through recovery amonra.

AmonRa is reliable, but when the card is messed up, it maybe won't work correctly.
I am using GParted for partitioning, easy to use and always works.
Search Developent for tutorial (also with video).
Well gparted saved my sd card when the phone wont recognized and even the computer wont even recognized.

Well I run Gparted live USB, and the weird thing is that even gparted could not see the sd card.
In windows Disk Management it sees the sd card as RAW partition..any clue about the RAW format???
I rescued a lot of my files with other programs but even when they show that the sd card is healthy, windows, linux, android cannot recognize it. The only solution is to format it i think..

HELP! sd card wont mount

well i flashed a kernel and didnt like it so i went into recovery and began flashing my nandroid backup. from there it was all going fine but stopped in the middle and said, oops something went wrong. after that i tried to get back into my sd to see if i had another backup. i then realized that my sd card was unmounted and i tried to mount it but to no avail. this is where i began to freak out because everything was wiped and the backup didnt work and i couldnt boot to anything except the bootloader and recovery. i finally got adb working and was able to flash cm9 directly to the phone so i have my phone working again YAY! so phone isnt brickd, maybe just sd card.
so is there anyway to try and recover my sd card to get my stuff back? i havent tried to format it yet because i want my pictures and all that :/ still need to get a card reader and try it in a pc
Captain Throwback has a thread about fixing the SD mount on the EVO if that is the problem. Have you tried a different card or tried your card in a different phone?

i havent had a chance to do either of those but i tried using the adb fastboot commands to makes the sd card recognized and mount again but it didnt work. gotta find another sd card or something or a card reader. any suggestions other than that?
Sorry but if the captain's thread didn't fix it than your card is most likely bad. I would try it in another device before trying to format it just in case. Maybe someone else will chime in with some other ideas.

Don't format it until you try it in a card reader. There's a chance the card is corrupted, but I've also had cards not read on my phone, at all, then pop it in a card reader, and Windows reads it without a problem
yeh i will definitely do that thanks. im really hoping it just glitched out and my phone isnt reading it and can save everything. no idea how it happened still. just restoring a nandroid backup and it said there was an error then no sd card :/
so got a card reader and popped it into the pc and it was all there now formatting the card to exFAT and going to see if it works
so its still saying there is no sd card... i know it works because it read on the computer fine. any ideas of why its not showing up in recovery or on my phone? and ideas how to fix?
I don't think the Evo can read exFAT. I'd go with FAT32.
