Could try to format it, can you see it with your PC (in mass storage mode)?
If not take it out and put it in a card reader and format it.
Might be some corrupt stuff <technical term> preventing it from mounting.
Also, try another sd card just for sanity sake.
Good luck

Hi All,
I was hoping someone can help me with a pretty dumb problem. I can't for the life of me figure out why my SD card can't be found in CWM3 after installing the latest ROMS based on EB13 and using the OC kernel. I continue to get a volume unkown error. I have formated the card several times in the past few days and at first its fine but then I'm stuck without CWM3.
CWM 3 EXT4 and SD card
I am having the same issue, not sure why. Seemed to work fine at first and now nothing. Any help would be awesome.
Thanks

I have tried everything...odined 13-extended and still get "Can't mount SD card"
This problem seems to be common but haven't found a solution.
Any help would be great!
Clicked repartition in Odin...
Popped sd card in and out and rebooted
nothing
I have this problem using an app like quick boot but three finger should work just fine. It's because of the redirector.

Quick question - - are you using any kind of redirector to try to get into recovery? (IE: Rom Manager or QuickBoot)
I know that a lot of issues with CWM after EB13 flashes are because something in the kernels "breaks" the re-director.
Have you tried doing the "3-finger death grip"? I'm still not able to use an outside program to get into a working recovery. I can get into the situation that you guys are talking about, but not a working CWM 3.x. However, using the 3-finger approach, CWM 3 comes up and sees my card and everything is fine.
I am fine doing it this way until I can research the forum a little to see if their is a stable/permenant fix.
Hope this helps!
hey ive noticed that whenever i used it on jb roms, my sdcard would not be recognized. I really want to fix this because this is probably the fastest kernel ive used

Probably has to do with the format your SD card is in. Seems FAT32 or EXFAT can have problems. Im having similar problems right now and am attempting to fix.
Try to find out what your SD card is formatted to and post.
So my Desire is bootlooping since last night :s tried flashing multiple roms, it goes to boot animation and stays there. also tried formatting my 32gb card and re partitioning and everything, still no luck. The only thing that works are nandroid backups, but even those got wiped when I formated the sd card. Any suggestions guys? :crying: Recovery is 4ext 1.0.0.5 RC9
EDIT: Flashed Rooted Stock GB and it worked .... but other ROMs refuse to boot, and even in the stock ROM it says I have low storage space even though I just booted...
EDIT 2: So I think I found the problem, my data partition is full, although I've performed several wipes :\ does anyone know anything that may have caused this? it's very odd and although there are workarounds like flashing another hboot, I wish I didn't have to lose that much space on my phone.

try a different sdcard because not so long ago i was using an 8gb sandisk sdcard and i started getting bootloops and i too reflashed roms, re partitioned my sdcard but nothing, still bootloops, rom freezing/restarting etc then i tried another sdcard, flashed the same download of the rom and it worked fine after that. so maybe ur sdcard got corrupt some how.
There may be some hidden files left over on your SD card.
Connect it to a PC, enable to view hidden files and see if anything is left out.

I have tried another card, the result is the same, the partition I cant wipe is internal. Flashed cm7 hboot and it boots and works normally, has it expands the data partition. Is there anything I can do to format the data partition? I've tried anything, and flashing the cm7 hboot is but a workaround and limits the ROM I can flash to my phone :\
So like the title says, I lost my SD card access today. I'm not blaming the nitest kernel, but it's the last thing I installed from TWRP so I'm at a loss for the cause. So far I've tried (without success):
Formatting SD card in PC
Using several different SD cards
Trying to mount in CWM and TWRP and Stock Recovery
Flash FC09 Stock from Odin
blow on it
Is there any other cause that could point to this? I didn't drop it or take a hit to it the day it happened, so i find it hard to believe the hardware just "died".

Very strange indeed. My gut says hardware failure, but I'd give this thread some time for others to read and give input.

Ok, this is really weird...
So I'm here on my freshly ODIN'd FC09 stock image, sitting still on my desk, nothing out of the ordinary.
I start installing apps remotely from the play store, and while the apps are downloading and installing I get a media scanner notification, followed by a mounted SD card.
CWM/TWRP now fully recognize the card, it seems like its seemingly back to normal.
While I'm happy it's working again, I'm no closer to actually figuring out what really happened. The physical contacts are all cleaned, and no physical deformities are seen. It seems I will be perpetually living in fear of my SD card randomly failing.
If anyone else has had this happen, I'd love to know the background on how it happened. I'm sorry to everyone else who googles this looking for a fix, it seems like I just got lucky...
I've had my Inc2 since 2011 and have flashed different ROMs more than I can count.
In the last 2 weeks, I keep getting SD Card was removed messages.
I reboot and its back. I figured the SD Card was dying on me...
Since then, I've switched to a NEW SD Card and am having the same troubles, but more frequently, like everyday.
In fact it took and hour to get it to work again yesterday.
Anybody know whats going on?
I'm running the same ROM I've had for months, I've used a couple different ones over the weekend to see if that was the issue... It's not.
I've cleaned all the contacts and blown our the SD Slot.
Is she dead Jim? or am I missing something?
Have u tried using a different rom?
If u installed the original SD card incorrectly on the same rom maybe it's remembering that?

Assumed that you've already saved contents on your mSD card, wipe it clean on a PC/Mac/Linux OS (Fat or Fat32) then put it back on the DI2,
boot into recovery - wipe dalvik & cache, REFORMAT the mSD card - then boot up normally.
What Rom are you running? If above steps still do not work, try a Master Reset from the Rom before doing a Clean & Fresh Install of the Rom.
Keep a watch on error messages on the screen as you do all these & post your results, good luck !

Been Runnin Miui for the last year. No changes on phone.
SD card acts like it was pulled. Have to poweroff and remove battery to have it back.
A reboot into recovery still doesn't give me access to the card.
I've also tried different SD cards with the same results.
Anyone reading this with this problem, try returning to stock recovery and rom with the pg83.IMG(I think that's the name) and try doing a factory reset in stock recovery. My SD card works after that

This problem has gotten worse. And most of the time the SD card isn't even available in recovery either.

Yeah that's about what my problem was. Usually if you go for about a day without an SD card in, it will most likely recognize it again. If not, I could usually tap the back of the phone on a table, down near the bottom where the SD port is.
If that still doesn't work, you'll have to fastboot flash the return to stock image
My theory on this problem is that after flashing Roms/s-off and messing with stuff eventually corrupts some part of the filesystem. You might also try following the guide to unroot and s-on to see if that works, though that will be a little harder.
Flashing the ICS firmware didn't help.
Guess I'll have to try going the long way around...

Well Then...
Got the PG32IMG factory restore... that was a wash. Got everything but s-on done... and upon getting through the setup... SD Card removed unexpectedly.
So had to use ADP and FASTBOOT to get a recovery installed and back to square one.

Did you try doing a factory reset with stock recovery though?
I've read about some people with roaming problems on their HTC one, and flashing the stock recovery back and doing a factory reset fixed it.
Sooo give that a try if you haven't already
Edit: that probably sound un related but maybe after messing around with HTC devices they get mad and sabotage themselves haha. But seriously though. I messed around with the return to stock image a couple months ago, and I could get it work for a very short time, like you experienced. But just the other day I entered stock recovery mode from bootloader and it started doing a factory reset on it own. After it started up it recognized an SD card when I put it in and i then fastboot flashed a custom recovery(not cwm or twrp can't thnk of the name) then I flashed the andromadus mimicry ICS ROM that was still on the SD card and right now I've been playing music off it for about an hour and it seems to be fine
