There is nothing wrong with your card. The SD card error is a known bug with CM7. Deleting the LOST.DIR folder should eliminate the SD card error message. If you feel you want to format it anyway, go into recovery and select "wipe SD Card" if you're using amon RA as your recovery.

How do i get to the .lostdir? when i plug the phone into the computer it wont mount the sdcard. is that because its not formated for the phone?
this is the first time i've put a brand new sdcard in.
im on clockwork. should i flash to amon_ra for this?

Did you have CM7 installed PRIOR TO installing the new SD card or was the new card inserted before CM7? If the latter, a LOST.DIR folder *should* be on the root of the card. If not, it's no biggie, just know that the SD card error is a known bug. If the new card was inserted after CM7, then it may indeed need to be formatted thus the reason your PC is not recognizing it. The cards I have, were already formatted and readable when I purchased them. You could use the EVO to format the card for you in the settings-SD card & Phone Storage menu or it's equivalent in CM7 or you can go into recovery and format it. Either way is sufficient and effective.
neither format method i tried works.
ive had CM7 RC2 already running on the phone for a while(since early march)
most things worked fine.
until
ordered the new card and got the card yesterday.
took the old one out
put in the new
and then i get the errors.
can i screw anything up in Clockwork if i try unmounting and mounting and such?
also what is "format sd-ext"? do i need to do that?

Unmounting & mounting will not destroy anything in and of itself, however, the card must be mounted in order for you to format it. Format sd-ext means formatting that particular partition, but not the entire card. I recommend you switch to amon RA v2.3. The menus are, in my opinion, clearer and pretty self explanatory. You can format/wipe the entire SD card as well as partition it. You can download it from http://goo.gl/cgh5e
A detailed description of every menu can be downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=516947&d=1297626700
To install it:
Place PC36IMG.zip on the root of your sd card.
Boot the phone into the bootloader by powering the phone down, then press the power and the volume down buttons at the same time.
Once the phone boots into the bootloader the phone will automatically recognize the zip file. It will ask if you would like to update, select yes and let it do it's thing and you will be good to go

wow.
ok i put my old original card back in and flashed CM7 RC4
put the new "unworking" sdcard in
and boom
worked seemlessly. except when i plug into the computer there are only 3 folders. can i just make a music folder?
so i guess the issue was RC2?
i also updated cwm from 2.5 to 3.0something so i could flash amon from rom manager.
but never did anything with it
yeah man. Enjoy your weekend too!

I do recommend amon RA v2.3. It is a very solid recovery. I also recommend that you do it manually. The installation takes less than 10 seconds. Furthermore, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with wiping & flashing from within recovery. Anyway, I'm glad you got everything taken care of. Take care, my friend....
yeah man. Enjoy your weekend too!

Hi. I was loading a rom in recovery and first wiped system and data. when I went install the new rom I got the error "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (no such device)". In other words, I have wiped the old and it cant find the new rom.
Previously I rooted by UnRevoked so I have not previously set up android sdk.
Am I screwed
Thanks
Have you tried a different SD card or the CD card in another PC?
Could be a faulty sd, or if not maybe try cleaning the contacts on the card and phone?
the card seems ok. It can be read via USB from recovery.
Is there any way I can set up a terminal connection and flash a rom from my computer?
I'm having the exact same issue with r6. The SD just won't mount even in recovery. When this happens there is literally nothing else to do, we need a solution!!!
Sorry to hear it Doogle. Im out of ideas too
Pretty lucky to not be the only one tho
Just so you know, mine is definitely USB bricked, but the SD thing is stopping me from being able to fix this.
It's quite unusual.
Any idea if its possible to set up a terminal?
or does usb bricked mean your comp cant see the phone?
I set up a thread earlier to find that out. No replies
Yeah when the phone is USB bricked the PC just can't detect it,
so it's impossible to flash RUUs, so I'm up against the wall unless
I can get this working
When Clockworkmod didn't find my SD, but card reader showed it ok, I used SDFormater to reformat card (remowed all partitions) and when formated in recovery.

You're not using quick format option are you?
Because a proper full format is much more effective,
and takes a while to complete.

nope. It still cant mount it
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.

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?
Ok guys, I've tried to figure this out using other threads on the forum, but I've still come up with nothing!
I'm running cyanogen mod with clockwork recovery AFAIK. Bought the G2 on eBay already rooted, and everything has been working great until yesterday. All of a sudden the phone gives me the infamous "SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem." Argh! I've tried reformatting the card through the OS, and then it tells me to insert a new SD card. Ok, I reboot... annnnnd the same thing again. Next I tried mounting it through the OS. After it's done it tells me the card can't be mounted because it's probably corrupted. Let me just say I don't think that's the case because I was using it RIGHT before this started happening. When I try to connect through Windows and format it doesn't recognize any storage in the device.
So now I'm here. What the heck do I do, xda?! Is there something in the recovery menu I should use? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated, and if you need any more info please ask!
Bump for justice!

I have had the same stuff happen to me many times. Download SD formatter on your pc it finds the sdcard and formats it. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=sdformatter
Alright, now it's getting really bad. I attempted to format that card in the computer, but it actually did seem to be ****ed up, in that the computer saw the card once and then it was invisible. Ok, so I order a new 8GB microSD card, arrived today. I format the card using the above program, succesfully, throw it in the phone, and bam, SAME ****ING PROBLEM. What the ****? This is ****ing BULL****.
Now I'm considering re-flashing the phone, but that's a last resort option. Is there something that needs to be on the SD card for cyanogen/CWR for it to even work? I didn't think this was the case, but if it is, WHAT do I need to put on it?
Again, this is quite infuriating, so any help or direction is greatly appreciated.

This is what I would do. I would format the card on the computer to fat32 format. On the phone I would boot into recovery and select wipe data/factory reset, then still in recovery I would go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache, and then still in recovery I would go to mounts and storage and format system and format boot. Back on the computer I would re-download the ROM (what you have now may be corrupt) and place the zip on the newly formatted card. Then I would put the sd card in the phone and flash the ROM.
Hey guys, I don't find myself in need of help too often, but I really could use some now. I tried flashing decks latest 1.2x, and got stuck in a bootloop. Well, I have been having trouble flashing roms lately, so I decided to format my sd card. I took the card, and started formatting it. In the meantime, I put my old 8gb card back in the Evo to try to restore an old nandroid. My recovery (amon Ra 2.3) keeps telling me that it can't mount the sd card.
I get error
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (no such file or directory) E:Can't mount sd card
Well, I'm kind of stuck now. I can't restore a nandroid, because my sd card won't mount. I can't boot the phone, because my flash of deck's 1.2x won't boot, and I can't flash anything else due to not being able to mount the sd card. I'm sort of stuck. I'm really hoping there is a way for me to restore a nandroid backup via ADB without needing access to my sd card. So far, Ive found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614016, but I'm not sure if that will work, I'm about to try. Does anyone know if I can have a nandroid backup on my computer, and flash it via ADB without needing my sd card? PLEASE HELP me guys, if I've ever needed help before, it's now.
ADB does recognize my device when I'm in recovery, or when my phone is stuck bootlooping, ADB sees it then too. Is there anything I can do? Thanks a bunch
EDIT: trying that method to restore a backup doesn't work. I get the same error about the sd card when I'm in shell and type mount /sdcard. I'm starting to think I'm totally screwed here..
isn't there some way to flash a rom without sdcard? try searching for it. i'll try as well.

Kyle, turn off your device and remove the SD card. Wait about 10 seconds and then reinsert the card and boot to the bootloader and from there, into your recovery. Select the MS-USB option, connect to your computer and see if it will appear as a drive. If so, it should be mounted.

I thought that there is. That's what I'm looking for. The problem is that I'm not home and have no internet. I'm connected to some crappy open internet connection and I'm having trouble browsing and searching. I know there has to be a way to flash a rom or restore a nandroid backup using ADB without an sd card. I would really appreciate it if anyone can find a link. I just want to get booted up again, and then I'll try to fix my sd card problem, hopefully. I don't know what hell went wrong here...
To the other guy that responded, thanks but I get that same error every time in recovery. I've tried shutting the phone off, booting back to recovery, taking the card, putting the card back in, etc. I get the same error every time. Even when I'm in an adb shell and type "mount /sdcard" i get teh same error as when I'm in recovery....

It just loops at the boot animation and I can't get the damn thing up and going.
Kyle, take the card out again, make sure there is no dust, lint or smudges on its contact areas and then reinsert it. Boot into recovery and select MOUNTS. Now select Mount /sdcard at the bottom of the menu. That *should* work, my friend.
and if that doesnt work try this make sure you have the nandroid on your pc ok then format sd card then try mounting sd card and putting a nandroid or rom on it if it doesnt mount your not screwed you could just buy another sd card and a sd card reader and the nandroid that you have on the desktop and put it on the new sd card with the sd card reader mount the sd card with the s card reader and put the nandroid that you had on the desktop on the new sd card and put it inside the evo and do a restore

Don't panic, my friend. We've been doing this far too long to know better than to do that......I'm certain that the freshly formatted card will work just fine for you. Still, mounting the card in the recovery's MOUNTS menu should work.

Thanks for all the help guys. I've hit my 5 thanks limit for the day, otherwise I'd get you all a few more thanks.
Here's the update. My 16gb card finished formatting. I copied over a few of my nandroids to it, and put it in the phone. To my surprise, the card mounted and i was able to view my contents of the card from within recovery. I chose to restore one of my backups, and i got "oops, something went wrong". I think there was a problem when I copied the file over to the card, because it took FOREVER to copy, and I thought it froze up. So I htink the backup got corrupted. Anyways, I mounted USB MS toggle in recovery, and copied over a fresh rom. I successfully flashed it, and it's in the process of booting now, I hope it works.
YAAAAAA BABY IT BOOOOOTED. WORD TO BIG BIRD! Sweet, now to get back in action.
I still have no idea at all what went wrong. I also don't understand why the phone wouldnt read my old stock 8gb card that came with the phone. I got the same error on both card, but after the format it's working. Anyways, glad to be back. Thanks again for the quick, prompt, and very useful responses. I love xda. Thanks

This does not happen when i use an old 2GB card, the previous 16GB was running in the phone for at least 6 months.

You sure the battery cover is on correctly. If not check the SD Card holder.
Last resort is to go fully stock and see what happens.
If the above fails, its a hardware issue

Last resort is to go fully stock and see what happens.
If the above fails, its a hardware issue

Thanks - going back to fully stock was my next plan at the weekend. Is there any form of pre-rooted stock ROM I can use, will going back to stock HTC ruin my bootloader and S-OFF and such things ?

Have you tried formatting the SD with the phone and not the computer? Also look for the rooted stock rom for your phone is your best bet, its out there in pd98 zip form. Good luck

He can't format it if it unmouts can he, lol
The stock ROM isn't in PD98 format, its in a ROM, search for autorotation fixed in Jellybean and that the prerooted stock ROM

I tried going back to stock and it still does the same thing, I noticed the SD card slot and SIM slot are on a daughterboard so I will try replacing it and seeing if it is a hardware issue.
Thank you for all your help.

I had a mounting issue after going from the stock 8GB card to a new 32GB one, all it needed was formatting and job done.. If you can format it in the phone do it, if not, put it in a card reader on the PC, it should open find it.

Thanks for replying but as i originally posted, I have had a 16GB card since probably last xmas, after going to Jellybean it started vanishing and that card is now dead, will not format in anything, PC card reader,laptop or phone. I got a new one and the phone has started ejecting it again. I assume the phone killed the original and this is not a card fault.
I have formatted the new card in PC,phone and my tablet and the phone is still losing it, it's fine on a PC. I am going to replace the SD card socket daughter board on the phone and hope it isn't a fault any worse than that !
Fingers crossed.
Download 4ext Recovery Updater from www.4ext.net and flash 4ext Touch Recovery if you haven't already. Then back up your SD card data, boot into recovery, go to 'wipe | format' and format SD card. Then go to 'tools' and run 'check partition alignment' and 'file system check'.
I used to have this problem real bad a long time ago with both an old 8GB card and a new 16GB card. I messed around a bit with all this and fixed it. I've rarely had the problem since. It happens once in a while, and a reboot fixes it. Not frequent anymore though. Also, format SD card in recovery always. I remember that this problem became very frequent for me when I used to format my SD card in PC with different cluster sizes. Don't know for sure if that was the reason or whether it was coincidence, but I suggest you format in recovery. Unless you use TWRP recovery, which just runs an 'rm -rf' command to delete all folders in SD card and doesn't actually format it. 4ext Touch Recovery is the best recovery for the DHD.

Thanks I will definitely give that a go today before ordering any parts.
I tried all the stuff with formatting and partitions and it made no difference to the new 16GB card, strangely my old 8GB card seems to work fine, so really not sure what would cause this to happen, none the wiser but the 8GB card will do fine for now.
