Is anyone having this issue as well? I tried taking battery out, rebooting, even taking out the sd card. I just hope my sd card is not messed up.
can you be more specific of whats going on and what your problem is?

Two ways to do
...pull sdcard, put in card reader, select drive, select properties, select tools, then select scan and fix.
...boot to recovery, select usb toggle, select sd drive...etc. as above.

I was having this issue as well about a week or so ago & as Jelive posted, a scan & fix alleviated the problem...
I had this issue as well. I resolved it by transferring my sd content to my computer and then formatting the card with the phone. I actually have had this happen 4 times already. I have noticed that this happened whenever I used Amon Ra to delete cache and dalvik cache.

Believe what is causing this is changing from Charge Only to Drive, accessing the sd card, and not changing back to Charge Only before pulling the USB cable...causes errors. Other than retraining yourself not to do the easiest way to avoid the problem is boot to recovery and toggle USB from there, transfer files to sd drive, etc.

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.

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.
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 :]
I just got a 32GB Micro SD Card for my evo and I am trying to replace my current 8gb card. I was previously running MIUI 11.26 and using clockworkmod recovery. I followed these steps because I couldn't find anything Evo specific:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/ho...-android-when-using-swap-hero-and-or-apps2sd/
when trying to format and reapply the rom i was using i received this error msg:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory)
Now I don't know where to go from there. I previously had a 16GB card fry because apparently i didn't take the correct steps to get it working properly, i do not want that to happen again. Can ANYONE give me specific instructions for swapping my SD Card for my Evo?? If so I would GREATLY appreciate it!!!
And yes...this is probably rather "noob-ish" and I DID already search the forums for any help and couldn't find what i was looking for. Again any help is appreciated
Thanks!!
just copy all files from your 8g card to the 32g card pop it in the evn and you are good to go, nothing special required. Unless you are using apps to sd, then the easiest way s to put all apps back on the phone, then after switching to the new sd put them all back on the sd.

Yea I tried that and kept getting an error msg. I think there are specific steps for partitioning etc I just don't know them.

sorry if i'm misinformed but the evo has 2.2/apps2sd built in and 2.2 partitions the sd card on reboot. The article u linked i believe is for devices with 2.1 or ealier and a modded apps2sd . I have swapped many different cards and have not had to do anything that special.
Here are my steps:
1. go into settings manage applications and pull all apps back to phone.
2. copy all files/pics/vids/whatever u want to keep to computer.
3. power off, swap out sd cards, power back on.
4. phone should boot and partition sd or whatever.
5. use astro file manager and if it shows directory for sd, asec, secure then everything is good and u can move apps back to sd.
6. hook phone to sd and move all your kept files from old sd to new sd
I have seen your problem happen with a bad sd card, where did you get the 32g card. You may want to test it and see if it is actually a 32g.

Thanks for the response...just a question before i go forward with it, when i replace the card and reboot the phone, is it automatically going to boot up w/ the rom i was using before replacing the card?
Edit: Tried these steps and got stuck in bootloop for MIUI (rom i had flashed previously). Even tried to put the initial PC36IMG file on the sd card and flash it through recovery, nothing! It searched for it then says it directory cannot be found. I've put the 32gb card in my card reader on my computer and it comes up just fine, I can add files to it, format it etc and everything works, any other suggestions...this is becoming highly frustrating! Again any help is definitely welcomed!
So i still cannot seem to get this working, and I've tried doing a lot of different things and nothing is working for me, I have tried to install some sort of file manager program (astro) but it doesn't recognize my sd card, yet my phone shows it as mounted and with plenty of space available. I do not know what else to do...can ANYONE help me?
i had a similiar problem recently. For christmas I received a new sd card. At fist it didn't recognize my card. I tried to format it using my PC but I then went to my recovery (Amon RA) and clicked on the Partition SD card option.
After I partitioned, I turned on USB-MS toggle and put all my files back into the phone (including my rom zip).
I disabled USB-MS toggle, and then wiped data/factory reset, cache, dalvik-cache
Flashed zip from sdcard and violoa. It works!
try that one out.

how would i partition a 8 GB micro sd card with AmonRA?
Hi,
Please forgive me if this is a noob question. I recently developed an issue transferring files to the sd card. Using the usb storage method, after transfering 2 or 3 mp3s, the phone would shut off and reboot for no reason (This caused the Zeam launcher to crash apparently? for at least 15 tries)
I tried using the SD adapter, the transfer rate is extremely slow or to no transfer at all and causes windows explorer to crash or hang (tried at least 15x).
I figured my sd card was corrupted so I tried formatting the card. If I used the SD adapter, it would say the card is write-protected even though clearly, the locked was off. I even tried another SD-adapter to no avail.
Finally, using USB storage, I was able to format the SD card.
Since I mentioned earlier that the Zeam launcher crashed, (yes, I selected always use "zeam launcher" even after it crashed causing the error message to loop) I resetted the phone with the wipe data/factory rest option in clockworkmod (I'm using ViperRom 3.03).
I wasn't sure if the 1 click root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770388) installed any folders into the sd card so I ran the 1 click root in windows just to make sure. After rebooting from the 1 click root, all the files that were previously formatted were back.
I guess I didn't read too clearly but
my questions is
1) how am I able to disable that backup function? I had a bunch of files (which I have no idea what they did) from when i first started playing with the phone and I want to start off fresh with just the files I need.
2) anyone have any idea why the sd card was unable to accept files through the SD adapter or USB storage method?
3) what to do when the launcher crashes (this happened to me 2x already where I lost all my data)
Thanks to anyone who can help. This will help me close some gaps in my limited Android/Epic 4g knowledge.
definitely something is weird. Using usb storage, I ran the scandisk to fix errors and some errors were found. I formatted to ntfs just for kicks and the sd card read blank and in properties the drive had nothing in use. I turned off usb storage, turned it back on and voila, all the files that weren't there are now back. It this a sign of a corrupted sd card or am I going crazy?
Which files/folders are you referring to? Because as soon as your phone mounts your sd card, it will write about 4 folders (I think) if they are not already there...
.android_secure
Android
DCIM
LOST.DIR
if I recall correctly. The other thing you can do is use your phone to format your card instead of doing it on a computer... go to 'Settings->SD card and phone storage->Unmount SD card' then after it is unmounted, use the 'Format SD card' option. If this doesn't work, then you may need a new sd card/phone.
sd card unmounted or not present??? whats going on with my phone? cannot access it threw recovery/astro/gallery help!
it may be mounting as read only you can plug your phone into your computer. Goto My Computer, right click on the SD card drive. Click properties goto the tools tab and check drive for errors. It takes a few minutes.
My SD card was mounting as read only. It was caused by moving pictures to my desktop from the DCIM folder.
gotcha ill try it when i get home from work...i booted into recovery and wanted to see if i could access my sd card so i went into install zip from sd card. it took a while for my files to appear and when i chose an option it said no information available...i hope its just in read only mode
Sounds pretty similar to what happened to me and It just happened randomly. You can see the files but can't access them or move them around. Mine was giving me a notification about it and if I went to unmount it manually in settings nothing would happen.
