Blank SD card error after root, was working fine...please help!

I just fully rooted my phone to the OTA 1.32.651.6 last night and everything was working fine. I completed a nandroid backup, updated the radio, and followed everything to a T. I haven't had any issues with my sd card until a few minutes ago when I shut my phone off and turned it back on. Now I am getting a blank SD card error and it is telling me I have to format the card. I don't understand why it was working after I rooted and now all of a sudden it is not. I even did another nandroid backup earlier today. Any help on fixing this would be appreicated.
Thanks

I just got home and tried another 8gb sd card and my phone reads it just fine, so it's not the phone. Looks like somehow my SD card got corrupted during the restart. I tried putting my original card in a reader on my computer but in both mac os and windows, it is telling me I need to format the card in order to read it. Is there any other ways you can think of to get my data off of it? Also, since I am in root, is there any files you think I should put back on my memory card if my original one can't be saved?

Can anybody help?

Mine is doing the same thing. A few days after putting the latest Fresh on my phone it suddenly told me that my sd card dismounted and now needs to be formated. Trouble is the phone won't format it and it won't let me do it from my computer. I'm trying to find out what's going on but I don't know that there's anyway to salvage the data. My phone did this once before and I couldn't save anything which sucked, but it still formated the sd card. I'll report back if I find anything.

[Q] She is bricked (pls not) HELP!

Hi,
Was running on LeeDroid 1.9, wiped and flashed for OpenDesire 3.4, came up fine then rebooted for the 3.4.2 patch and now my Desire just will not go past the HTC logo screen no matter what I do.
I can boot into recovery and have full access to everything, tried formatting the SD card and loading different ROMS but stuck @ the HTC green logo on white background.
Even Revoked3 again but the prob is not getting into the Recovery menu, its getting past that HTC screen.
Any info / idea's / help?
Thanks
Russ

If your phone turns on its not bricked, there will be a way to fix any issues your having, its just finding the correct one.
When flashing other roms did you wipe everything?
Data
Dalvik Cache
Ext parititon (if you have one)
Not wiping Dalvik is the number one reason roms get stuck bootlooping on bootscreen1.
Alternatively, it is booting but your not waiting long enough, you can always run adb logcat while booting to see if they phone is actually doing anything.

Hi,
Thank you for replying....
Figured it out that it is the SD card, here is the situation:
- Boot into recovery but cannot mount nor format the SD card
- Can see the SD card in MAC/ Windows and formated it Fat32
- Can boot without SD card
- Can boot with another SD card which is only 128Meg so cannot get LeeDroid back on it to reflash that ROM
I obviously need to format the SD card proper and it looks like I need to use Gparted but that looks like a HUGE Linux ISO download unless you know of a MAC version of it I can use?
Thanks

Found a 2Gig SD Card, got LeeDroid back on it, flashing and hoping I can boot with the original SD card so I can format with ROM manger but thinking it wont boot up with the SD card in regardless of the ROM, lets hope!

if you don't manage to boot it up. find this in the forum "PB99IMG.zip" w/o the quotes. format your sd card and put the archive in root of sd card. after that turn on your phone by pressing volume down and power on/off. wait till phone recognizes the archive and follow onscreen directions. phone should boot normally as unrooted. use unrevoked to root again and flash any rom you want.
post result.

Okay I am up but not on my original SD card, using a spare.
In recovery mode my phone refuses to mount nor format the card but can see it 100%
Seen some posts of a ADB cmd I need to use or is there something else I can try?
Thanks!

I ran "unrevoked" on my phone again and it booted when I had that problem.
But I took out the sd card when I did that. Not sure if it helps. But who knows.

Tried that, booting without the card is fine, with the card in is the issue, phone cannot see it.

Stuck at Splash screen after failed SD card

My dinc is set up like this:
9.01 radio
.92 bootloader
I flashed a rom and then it said my sd card went bad. Tried flashing another rom and it problem persisted. As a last resort i tried to reformat my sd card with no luck. got an error. I then tried to flash through recovery and did a full wipe (my mistake for doing this) but cant flash another rom since the sd card it bad. When i restart it gets stuck at the splash screen.
I bought another sd card and placed a rom which i know works on it and it seemed to have installed fine, but now when i restart i get stuck at the splash screen like i did before.
Any ideas?

Maybe i need to find the original update.zip file from when i first rooted? My sd card is empty except for that rom i put on it.
I found it. Nope, didnt work. Maybe i need to flash a recovery, though i have none anymore.

In case someone else comes across the same problem, i fixed it.
The sd card was ruined. unable to reformat or anything. Luckily i back up my sd card recently so i transfered everything to my new sd card. Went into recover and did a recovery of an old backup.

[Q] Desire not reading ext partiotions?

hey guys,
I turned my phone on today and when it booted up it didn't have apps i had installed and came with the error selected app not installed blah blah blah.... i thought well ah man f**k this i'll just restart and this s*** will be sorted, but no nothing it seemed even worse in fact..... i thought alright take the sd out and blow it around nothing! infact it made it worse! it wouldn't even boot any more it got to the point where it would just like load the custom boot screen and loop that repeatedly. i've tried many diffrent roms and nothing! i mean some would boot (but without apps working etc etc...) and some wouldn't at all (i found these often would if i removed the card) , i left them all for a good 15 mins and still nothing... please help just as i started finding this phone cool again it breaks
TL;DR:
phone won't boot at present when it does boot with certain roms apps are there
EDIT: oh and i've tried another sd card to no luck

may be there is some issue with your sd card partition. what you can do is, backup the file from your SD card to your pc, format it, create partition (fat32, ext3 & swap), copy back the backedup files to SD card, put it in the mobile, go in recovery mode and to restore. hope this solves your issue.

i've tried all of that with no luck

wont boot

Hey guys i know you get alot of these sorry. i recently deleted every thing on my sd card and now my phone wont boot right it does boot splash screen and all just like it was going to work. what happens is that it just sits on the screen but the lock screen never starts but i can see 3g signal and all of that. so might i have deleted that would cause this. since if you bought a new sd card it would be empty. mikeg 3.0 8gb card partitioned ext2

Deleting your sdcard wouldn't affect your rom from booting. I'd recommend doing a full wipe in recovery, then reflashing your rom.

ya thats what i thought, weird anyway thats what i did and got her going again thanx
