I upgraded from Oxygen RC6 to RC7, in between, I performed s-off, flashed the oxygen hboot table, resized the sd card with gparted and then formatted card. I then did a full wipe and installed RC7.
However, I can no longer see the SD card as being mounted once I boot up the desire, if I go to recovery>advanced>usb i'm able to see the the card fine and i'm able to install stuff via recovery but it seems as though the card isn't being mounted once it boots.
Also, when I connect via usb it starts charging instead of coming up with the sd card files. Tried turning usb debugging on/off but that doesn't help.
Any ideas how to rectify this?
edit: tried a different micro sd card and it's doing the same thing
Could be an issue with the ROM. You could try another 2.3 ROM.
Does your PC recognize your phone? You might a have a usb brick and have to flash the modified misc partition. Search ad usb brick modaco.

managed to sort it in the end, formatted the card in recovery then plugged it in and it came up with a dialog box in windows saying format the card (again), after which it started detecting the card again.
At least that's what I think it was anyway
I accidentally reformatted my droid incredible 2 /system while in clockwork recovery now no computer will detect the phone
tried restoring from backups, but still same problem
Did you wipe before restoring backups? Did you reflash the ROM? The /system folder is replaced every time you put a new ROM on.
yes ive rewiped every single time, and ive installed 3 different roms, cyanogenmod nightly 56 , rmk 2.3.3 and virtuous unity 2.37.0, all with same results, phone charges but i can not mount the sd.
ive even restored from back ups and nothing
ive tried connecting with windows 7, and while its trying to read the hardware
"android driver 1.0" fails (if that helps)
Does your phone recognize the sd card?
have you tried formatting the sd card itself? If not try that, format as fat32. I've had this issue before and it turned out my sdcard was corrupted. Did you try another card?
Yes, my phone does recognize my SD card, I've tried a different card and same result, I tried to format the second card to test out, and nothing. I then, for the hell of it, installed another ROM (incredible sensation) but this time through ROM manager, and I updated my recovery to 5.0.2.0. and now it works again, so thanks guys, maybe it was a combination of all these tips.

Is debugging checked? Are you selecting charge mode or disk drive mode?
Im using a SCLD GSM Desire rooted. Ive used Gingerbread versions of Oxygen, CM7, and currently on MIUI XJ but all freeze up on me often(almost daily) and battery pulls are required to revive.
The freezes do not happen with my 2GB Samsung SD card that came with the phone, but i have used 3 brand new Sandisk 16GB Class 4 SD cards and it crashes on all. This is regardless of whether i have Apps2SD enabled or not. I have looked for last_kmsg after the crashes on CM7 and Oxygen, but the file is never present after a battery pull, if i reboot normally i will get an old last_kmsg file from a few months back.
Was transferring about a gig of music to my phone currently on MIUI XJ 1.12.2, and after i unmounted USB storage it froze up and crashed.
The SD card im currently using was bought at a Virgin store, so im sure it wouldnt be a fake. I hope someone can help troubleshoot, im completely out of ideas!!
Thanks a tone in advance!

which version of MIUI-XJ ie.. A2SD or XPart or D2W?
You can try the following:
1. take nand backup, titanium backup & miui backup
2. download the full rom
3. full wip/wip cache/wip dalvik
4. flash the rom, if you are using cm7r2 hboot you might have to flash market cache fix.
5. let the rom reboot automatically and then let it settle for 15-20 mins
6. go to super user and make sure you enable ROOT permission ON.
7. power-off and power-on, restore your apps.
Thanks for help, appreciate it. I'm running the apps2sd version. Will flash according the method you have suggested. Since I'm on apps2sd, any reformatting/repartitiin you recommend?
Right now for the 16gb class 4 card I have a 1gb ext3 partition created using gparted.
You partitionend your SD card with an FAT32 partition and an EXT partition. If you partitionend in that order and set both partitions primary, you are ready for A2SD/A2SD+.
But please use "A2SD" if you are talking about the script which moves apps automatically to EXT partition, because with "app2sd" you could also mean the FroYo-App2SD and this would be very confusing.
Thanks for the help guys. I repartitioned and reflashed miui according to the procedures you'll mentioned. So far its been running fine, except that I had to use the terminal to reinstall a2sd yesterday, but still no crashes.
So far I have not put any music on the phone since last time it crashed when I filled up the SD. Now that I'm certain the installation is clean after using it for the past few days, ill go ahead and fill up some muswic tomorrow and will post back here.
So the phone crashes everyday now. Noticeably after I enabled a2sd amd moved dalvik.
Need to perform battery pulls to revive the phone and there is no last_kmsg after a reboot.it really kills me everytime I need to pull out the battery, hopefully someone can help troubleshoot!
I have the same problem. It's do not freeze only with stock hboot
Since I'm rooted on custom rom, any way to use a stock hboot now?
yes, you can use any rom with stock hboot. but you will not have much memory for applications
just checked, im on stock hboot.
do you have any other ideas ?

After failing to get 3 of my 16gb sandisk cards working, I tried my Samsung 2gb that came with the phone. This card is working flawlessly for the past month (or however long its been). I'm using a 512mb partition with apps and cache moved to SD with zipalign running and its never crashed.
Does anyone have any ideas? Can't really load any music into such a small card
I have a similar problem.
My phone crashes every time I browse fast trough my picture gallery (I have a lot of pictures) or I use an app that accesses the SD card continuously for several minutes.
For instance, it happens when I do a batch backup with Titanium Backup for all my applications.
I tried the official ROMs and custom ROMs (Cyanogen, DevNull) but the problem persisted.
I sent the device to HTC and they replaced the mainboard.
I tried then the latest official ROM and I faced the same problem.
I switched again to Cyanogen and the same problem appeared.
I have to mention that all this time I used a 8GB SD card (I tried several different cards with the same result) and no App2SD.
Now I'm using the card delivered by HTC together with the device and the problem is gone.
This card is only 4GB (the brand is Samsung) but it seems to work flawless.
My advise is to try a 4GB card and see if it works.
I'm on Seb's Runnymede ROM for quite some time. Because of the well known "freezing problem" I wanted to test something else.
So I tried Mildwild's CM and oxygen based ROMS and recently the newest ICS ROM by Sandvold. When I flash these ROMs "clean" they boot but I can't use my sd card. It's like there's no card inserted at all. If I install extra mods like dalvik2sd or ad2sdx immediately after the rom, my phone doesn't boot.
I wiped everything a few times, and even repartitioned my card with 4EXT recovery. Could it be the ext4 partition? I've searched through both threads for the same issue, but can't find anything similar.
EDIT: I tried ICS with A2SD, dalvik to nand (3rd option) and I was able to boot, but again sd card not found...
What SD Card do you have? have you partitioned using gparted and tried? and Seb's Runnymede doesnt have a freezing problem.... can you elaborate the freezing issue? maybe i could help.
I have a samsung 16GB class 6 card (This one). I always use 4EXT recovery to partition my card. It's also advised in Seb's thread to partition with 4EXT. I used Gparted live before, but always ran into problems. Don't know why, I followed the guide. I'll try it again when I got some time.
I know it's not caused by Runnymede, but I want to test another ROM to see if it happens more/less frequent. That's when I realised I can't install another ROM. Hence this thread.
I'm yet to try an older card (class2 sandisk) with these roms. Also, that card didn't have freezing problems with runnymede, but was awfully slow.
recovery can see the sd card i guess?
might be worth booting gparted just to see if you can see the ext partition?
Yes, recovery shows the card, partition alignment is OK, usb diskdrive works as intended,... When I format and repartition my card, I notice that the partitions are not completely empty. I guess this is normal? I'll try gparted tonight.
Ok I didn't try gparted because I couldn't find any cdrs to create a bootable disk again.
But... I tried my other sd card (Sandisk 8GB class 2). Formatted and partitioned by 4EXT. I Installed ICS Beta 0.4.1.1 with ad2sdx option. Booted without problems, recognised my sd card immediately, no problems.
Definitely a problem with that samsung card. Or a compatibility issue. I'm still confused about that, but at least I know what's the problem now.
mby USB Brick? 4EXT touch had bug with that
yes I know. When I "reboot to recovery" SD card can't be found. I need to power off completely and boot to recovery.
And sometimes the phone gets USB bricked after flashing a ROM. But there's a tool in the latest 4EXT version to unbrick.
I'm running RunnyMede AOI on the class 2 card now. Everything is ok, no freezes (yet). I'm a bit worried about the AD2SDX script on class 2 though.
Hey everyone ! First I swear I don't post this because I'm too lazy to make a proper search, I've been trying to solve my problems for two days...
Ok, I'll try to sum it up. Sorry if my english goes wrong at some point, I'm french.
Having problems with my micro SD in my Desire, I bought a new one, a kingston 8go, class 10.
My desire was under CM7, was S-OFF with a modified HBOOT. And except from bugs due to my SD (sometimes it would not be recognized), everything was working.
After installing the new micro SD, i did some manipulations: wipe, reinstallation, change of radio/RIL/kernel, and unfortunately ended up with no recovery and others bugs. So I decided (at one point I did stupid stuff) to reinstall RUU aaaand as I was S-OFF with a modified HBOOT, I bricked my phone. BUt after some hours and thanks to the forum, I managed to put back a RUU.
Then I did everything properly: ROOT/S-OFF with revolutionary, wipe, micro SD partition, and CM7 installation.
THen it was hell: I tried everything from regular install to legacy2ext and SimplytoExt etc every time it's really unstable. First the all thing is slow, then I can't flash the google apps, no matter what I try. If I install an app from the market, sometimes it works, sometimes it makes the phone reboot from the boot animation, sometimes it can't install etc.. Google maps was especially unstable.
THen, 10 or 20 manipulations, formatting, reinstallations later, I decided to check other rome, like Oxygen or milwild.
On my last Milwild install, everything is fluid but I can't install a single app (it's just stay on "installation" forever) and I can't wake up the screen after the phone goes to sleep.
Last but not least, my usb charger seems to have transfer problems. It's way to slow and the speed is not constant. During large transfers, comes files go corrupted. Am I usb bricked or something? I tried with another micro SD and it's the same problem;
So here I am, I really don't know what to do more? Any help?
Thanks a lot for your eventual answers!
Seems that installing a RUU solve all the problems for now, I wonder what in the process of putting a custom ROM could have caused so many differents and random problems. I'am doing the all process again to see if I can do it properly.
And again, I installed a custom ROM with CM7 hbott: impossible to download any app and the camera crashed. Any idea?
1. Don't use any D2EXT scripts with Cm7, obviously that's what caused the issue. If you NEED more space (even with cm7 hboot) try using DarkTremor's A2SD.
2. Before you flash a new ROM, do a FULL wipe (either from fastboot or recovery) - erase boot, system, userdata, cache, sd-ext (make sure you have an EXT-n partition on your sd-card, best program to use is gparted)
Desire is designed for class 4 SD card. Although some class 10's will perform at class 10 levels, many do not because of this. Kingston Class 10 being one example (I have one).
My kingston class 10, in Android, performs at class 6 speeds. Which would be ideal, but my class 10 Kingston was slower with data2sd than my class 4 sandisk.

Ok, I might send it back and change for another model then. But still it can't explain the problems I have

I only was using this script to put the apps on the ext partition and I removed it. It's obviously not the problem since they stayed after a clean install.
I always fo a full wipe, I even formated all the partitions and my EXT partition is there and well aligned.
Here I am: I managed to "stabilise" with a gingerbread RUU, rooted and S-OFF with revolutionary.
I used RM recovery (with USB brick fix) and it seemed to help. I don't have any USB transfer problem any more.
The RUU works like a charm.
Then I tried again to install two customs romq, without any script or modification:
-on Milwild, I have still this "deep sleep" problem. I can use the camera, but I can't install any app from the market. It's stays on "installation" forever.
-On CM7 (I put the CM7r2 HBOOT with it) it starts well: I can install google maps. But then I try to open it and it freezes. Then I try to mount the FAT32 partition on my computer and it doesn't work. The cellphone also freezes when I try to reboot (there is the wheel, turning and turning, but nothing happens). SO I forced reboot, and then, google maps had just ... disappeard. I think my phone is haunted...
Isn't it strange that my cellphone is perfectly normal under RUU but can't bear any custom ROM???
I think I'm gonna go back to the RUU and try to use another SD card but I'm sceptical. If someone has a miraculous idea to share, I'll take it!!!
Thanks again
Well, rootSU, it seemed that you found the answer. I put another class 2 sd card and it seems to work again! I just spent hours on this for nothing... The strangest is that the class 10 card work perfectly when out of my phone...
Any advice about a good class 6/8/10 that could improve the performances without crashing like this?
EDIT: last question, I used the app2sd script you introduced, but I can't install any app with it, it says that I've got unsuficiant stockage space Oo.
I use.my class 10 Kingston and it works perfectly as a class 6. Plus its pretty future proof. Just no.good for data2sd.
Should work fine for everything else though

Well, mine didn't worked at all, except the RUUs...strange! I have fully configured my class 2 SD card with simple2ext (only app on the ext partition, not data) and it works.
As I'm tireless, I'll try to put all this via nandroid on my class 10. If it could work like a class 6...
What did you use to partition the Kingston?
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
I partitioned it several time, with gparted and recoveries. I'm a bit worried about some part of the hardware managing the connection with the SD card that could be partly broken. I decided to change my first SD card when I first saw a "you need to put an SD card" when I try to take a picture. I had problems with files disappearing from the SD and reappearing. Also I lost some applications that I couldn't appear. I figured the card was dying.
Then I put a new SD card, faster and with larger capacity and everything goes wrong;
Then I put the old one back and... for now, everything works.
