[Q] cannot get into disk drive of evo - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I reformatted my sd card by mistake and now when I plug my phone into the usb charger the only thing that happens is it starts charging. I get no options. Did I delete my drivers? If so how can I fix this?
Thanks

Go into settings/connect to pc/make sure that ask me is check.

Tried
I tried this but I do not have that option on my phone I am running cyanogen mod ,, any other ideas?

Do you have an sd adapter? see what files you have in the sd card.

I dont have an sd adapter.. but, i am pretty sure everything got erased when I reformatted the card.

okay. take the battery out off the phone than put it back. the phone should install an android secure file when you turn it on.

I have tried at as well. but, i think because i am running cyanogenmod its stopping it from installing the file. is there a way to update my rooted phone with this file?

[Q] Need Help In A Panic

Hello guys,
Well i installed Miui, I rooted my phone, flashed the ROM and it was stuck on the boot for a while. Rebooted went into Recovery and wiped it. Now it works but when i plug it in to the computer it won't pick up the USB. Along with that the SD Card is not picked. When i go into About Phone Sd Card: Unavailable available. So i went into SD Card settings and all of them are unavailable.
Help please! I'd like to go back to stock ROM but can't mount it :|
Really, I don't know why that would be happening and I don't know if this suggestion will help, but try removing the battery and then putting it back in. Maybe even take out the sd card while you're at it and reseat it.

I took the battery out around 8 times already. How i take the SD Card out?
Still didn't work i took out the battery and the SD card
I know searching on these forums is difficult, but part of the reason is because of all the duplicate threads. However, Google is your friend. I searched "SD card and USB fix Evo" on Google, and this was the first link that came up:

This happened to me a while back. Do the SD card fix first, then you can place the files to fix the USB problem on your SD card and you won't need ADB for that portion of the fix.
NVM got it all fixed.

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

[Q] Finally reached a problem I cannot fix on my own, please help

So my phone and computer will not detect my sd card after I dropped my phone.
Here is everything I have tried:
hard reset
sdhc micro adapter for my computer
pulling out sd card and reinserting
pulling battery and letting sit for awhile and plugging battery back in
I followed the sd card and usb fix issue found in the forums, but everytime I install the jdk the sdk installer says it is not found.
I know if I am able to format the card somehow it will fix it i think. but I cannot get anything to recognize it, or if I can figure out what single driver is missing on my phone I can figure the rest out from there.
The sdhc adapter works with the new micro it came with but not mine.
I am still able to use my phone but I obviously cant do **** without the sd card.
I have a recent backup of my sd card on my computer I just need a way to get it to my sd card and I am stumped.
Thanks for your help guys
Is there a way to force my comp to read the sd card?
Update
One thing I was just able to do was to take the micro sd that came with my adapter and my phone reads it just fine. However it is only a 2 gb. Like I said, I have a back up on my computer of everything that was on my sd card at one point. Being that my phone can read sd cards, does this help at all with somehow fixing my factory one?
Since I am now able to get into rom manager and my phone recognizes some sort of sd card. Would flashing some sort of sense ROM allow me to put my original sd card in and format it?
If all you want to do is repartition and/or reformat it, boot into recovery and do it there. While in recovery, especially is your recovery is amonRA v2.3, select the "MS-USB" option and serif your computer detects it while you're connected via USB.

I am currently using clockwork. I tried the mount unmount options in recovery mode. I have never really tried amon-ra for anything but now might be the time to give it shot.

[Q] USB and SD not recognized

Need a way to access internal memory so I can fix my usb or sd card see following for information:
Short Version:
USB wont work and SD card wont work so I cannot use the following method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243
Long Version:
So right after i had backed up my rom i did a wipe, then the phone stopped recognizing my sd card. I took it to Sprint they couldn't figure it out, so i was stuck in Bootloader. yesterday i did a hard reset and wa-la i can now use my phone ...sorta. It will turn on I can access everything, but it freezes up and shuts off after 40 seconds (i got it to stay for 2mins one time) also it still will not recognize my sd card. I tried other cards still no luck and I know my card works because I can use it in my laptop. So i did a little searching on xda and found a fix, but i cant do the fix unless i plug my phone into the laptop and run a cmd prompt well now here is the other problem my computer sees the phone (listed as My HTC) but my phone wont recognize that it is plugged in. It will charge when it is shut off thats about it. Well back to xda and there is a fix for the usb, but.... I need my phone to recognize my sd card because the files will be on it. In short to fix my sd card i need usb and to fix the usb i need my card I am stuck in a horrible loop, so what I need is a way to access my phones internal memory so I can install the usb files on it so that i can fix usb then my card, then recover my rom.
Thanks to wall who help or at least try
Im not totally sure if this will help, but i know you can mount the sd card as usb storage in Amon_Ra and also in settings under "storage" or so i believe there are settings for mounting and unmounting the Micro Sdcard check those, it should be mounted in the settings for your phone to see it. hope i helped
I just had this exact same problem. Nandroid, wipe, flash, then stuck in bootloader spent two days trying fixes, unroot, root, and,had to turn it in. Luckily best buy has an awesome warranty.

thanks all... ended up replacing my phone, but if anyone ever finds a way to fix it let me know! Thanks again
I was really hoping that this thread would not dead-end. I've got what sounds like a similar issue...in addition to not being able to reformat my SD card (in Windows or in Android) due to it being detected as write-protected, but it's not write protected.
I'm really anxious to try the aforementioned thread to fix USB and SD, but I can't detect, mount, or format my SD card. Am I screwed?
*EDIT* Fixed the write-protection issue...working on the rest now.
*EDIT* Still can't format card through Android. Is there an ADB or fastboot command to format the SD card?

All files on external SD card corrupt after unexpected shutdown

Hey guys and girls!
This morning my phone turned off by itself (13% battery left) and needed somewhat longer than usual to reboot (in the meantime I plugged it back in to the charger). First thing I noticed was that my whole theme got reset as well as it started showing me introductional tips ("long press here to move your apps to the homescreen, ecc.). It also started to update apps in the Play Store even though I set it to manual ... so basically a LOT of things were reset.
The biggest problem I'm having now is though that all my files (pictures, videos, music) that are stored on an external micro SD card are corrupt. It's not possible anymore to open anything. I already removed the micro SD card and put it into an adapter to have a look at the files via the laptop. But nothing, even though the sizes of the files seem OK, I can't open them.
Does anyone have a clue as to what exactly happened here? Are those files lost (at least of some I have a backup) or is there anything I can do to "repair" them? Help is really appreciated, thanks!
PS: Things like the card unmounting and re-mounting never occurred. So I can't tell if the card was dying or if actually the phone ruined my files.
Did you happen to be using a SanDisk SD Card? I've had my 10 brick 2 of those until I switched to Samsung SD Cards about a year ago and haven't had issues since.
I never could manage to recover files from the damaged SD cards.
I have a Samsung SD card and had something similar.
I guess I was on Viper Rom and basically my phone restarted around 15-20% of battery. After a long wait for booting back again, all my settings were gone.
Files and others in the SD card was okay but basically until I formatted the card, I wasn't able to boot into the Download Mode to install a new rom...
I fixed the restart issue by installing the official HTC Rom.
Thanks for your replies.
It is indeed a SanDisk 16GB card. It seems though that the card is still working (no problems accessing it via phone or laptop), just the files appear to be broken. In the meantime I also tried apps like PC Inspector File Recovery, but to no success
I'm still on stock HTC Sense by the way, no root, nothing.
Anyone know though why that happened (resetting everything, etc.)?
Hit me with a PM I'll give you a SanDisk restore tool which works quite ok. there is a huge chance some files can be recovered, some will be damaged though. Don't push any new files on the card after you tried to restore the files
HTC 10-Corrupted microSD card
I know this is an older thread, but I was wondering if there is a solution. I have an HTC 10 which has an micro SD card in it, that is "married" to the phone. When connected to a computer, the computer recognizes the phone, and the microSD card, and begins to load the folders/files. Eventually this process stalls, and the phone/drive is no longer readable by the computer. To get the computer to recognize the phone/card again, I need to restart the phone, but the same thing happens again.
I have like 20gigs of data on the card, and cannot just put the card in a reader, because it's encrypted to the phone. Any possible solutions? It's frustrating to see the files/pictures for a minute or two, and then have them disappear. I have tried copying/pasting the files while they're visible, but this often triggers the computer to no longer recognize the phone/memory card. I've tried to un-encrypt the microSD card, but the phone can't recognize/access the microSD card long enough to complete that process.
Please help if you can.
Glenn
