My mobile, for hours didnt recognized my memory card, and i didnt know why that happenned.. I read that the only solution was to buy another SD..
But After reading a lot of forums, and tried a lot of things, I found another solution.
I put my memory card into a memory card reader and connected it to my pc. Even my pc didnt recognize my memory card.. it had an error. so I couldnt even do a back up.. So I clicked right click on My Computer, then manage> Disk management> right click on my card, And then format. I didnt wanted to loose my data so I downloaded "Recuva" and I choosed what things I wanted to recover (after the successful format FAT32, which also made my SD card visible)
And so my sd card was visible again and I recovered whatever I wanted.
Hope I helped... But please do this at your own risk!
Sorry for bad english
You can use data recovery software to scan memory card and then recover your files. First connect memory card to computer with a card reader, and then follow this guide: sd card data recovery
hope this helps.
I have a stock Desire - on Orange ( UK ) network. All has been fine, but it suddenly stopped reading my SD card today - which has important work photos.
Why would it have done this and any way to fix it?
cheers all
First you need to find out whether the problem is your phone or your sd card.
Can you plug your sd card into your computer? If you can, copy the files from it and format the sd card and then copy back.
make sure that it is formated to FAT32
If you dont have a computer to do this, I reccomend that you go the settings and then SD card and unmount and remount your sd card and see if that helps.
Failing that, I would look and see if there is anything bent or blocking the sd terminals.
Let me know how it goes.
Ps.. I assume you have already done the obvious and restarted your phone.
Hey guys,
I was going through the process of installing the new leedroid rom by T-mod 2.2d.
I did a back up from nandroid and did a full wipe.
I went to install from zip and i couldnt find any of my ROMs i had copied onto my sd card? i am 100% confident i placed them in there.
Just today i partitioned my sd card properly with two primary partions of fat32 and ext3. Fat 32 has 29gb free and ext 3 has 512. Could there be a problem here? i just followed the instructions provided and everything looked sweet.
Before i had partitioned i copied all my files onto my HD then i proceeded using Gparted. Since everything was wiped off my SD card i just cut all the backup files from my HD back to the SD. It took up too much space on my pc!
All i have done is factory wiped and clear dalvik and then i rebooted (since none of the ROMs were listed in 'install zip from sd card'. It was then stuck on the leedroid startup page and goes on a loop.
I then performed a restore from nandroid. It now boots up fine, but now my SD card seems to be corrupted! all the files in there are shown with symbols etc. I can add new files into the sd card though and they dont appear to have weird symbols. I clicked on the disk and clicked on the diagnostic button which i also selected to fix automatically issues. Now my whole SD is wiped. and there are no files in there anymore... i put a few mp3s within and the music players dont detect any mp3 music.
Anyone have a take on what i can do? argh! i am still on 2.2b after the restore but my sd card has no files etc.
please someone help me, i will be very grateful!

it may just be a corrupt sd card, it happens sometimes you should return it and get it replaced
It was working 100% fine for a long time mate.
Should i go back into Gparted and delete my ext3 partition? I want to format my sd card, but im really confused atm.
My phone is working etc with all messages and phone history still here. It is running T-mod 2.2b. But all my apps which i had stored to my sd card are no longer functioning and i also wiped delvik from my phone.

your best bet isnt to just format it, but use gparted to delete both partitions on your sd card, then re-partition and try again
I just deleted both partitions and just created 1 partition as fat 32 will full memory using Gparted. I unmounted my phone and took the sd card out and put it back in, rebooted.
Connected it to my pc - but there are no folders in the SD card?
The phone isnt installing any software on the sd card when i boot it up?
I put mp3 files into the sd card but the phone doesnt read any music. Is it because im using a rooted desire? with T-mod 2.2b.
Literally all my files on my SD card are gone, no idea how to proceed
anyone??
I can still move apps (not the dalvik) to the sd card.
But my SD card has no folders in it. My phone wont install any on the SD card.
It says i have full memory out of full memory available. I formatted the sd card just then, since all my files are not there anyways.. still nothing happening
Help! running T-mod leedroid 2.2b! all internal apps etc are working fine.
What if i perfom an nandroid backup, store it to the sd card.
Then put the 2.2d rom and radio rom on and flash the two?
Will all the folders etc be stored back to my sd card?
Update: performed nandroid backup. Put 2.2d rom and radio rom on the sd card and again it does not appear on the zip list in recovery.
What is going on!
Fixed pm me if you want solution

why not post here? if this turns out to be quite common you woudnt want to reply to xxx users would you ?
I have had the same issue twice now under LeeDroid 2.2a and 2.2b.
Right now I am using my Ubuntu laptop so I inserted the SD card into the laptop. It mounts the 7.5 gig Fat32 partition and lets me read what's on there, but it wont properly mount the ext3 partition. It shows as blank in the file browser (on the laptop) and wont let me copy to it or create any new files, so it seems corrupted in some way.
I knew I had a problem last night because my phone freezes on the white-background with green "HTC" lettering whilst booting. If I take the SD card out of the phone it boots ok, likewise if I replace the card with a different one, that's only formatted Fat32, that works ok.
I used the built in function of ROM manager to prepare the SD card, it created a 512mb ext3 partition at the end of the disk, not sure if that makes a difference. Has anyone had any success using proper apps like gparted to partition the card?
Really pi**ed off at this phone now. Dont want to wipe the card again just to have it work in my phone for another week.
[Solution]
I had a friend check out what was up with my SD card. Nandroids and zips were being stored onto the sd card but they weren't appearing on the fat32 side.
In fact, all the files were being stored to ext3! this was the root of the issue. I believe i partitioned incorrectly or what not by using Gparted. I have resulted in using Rom Manager (download off market) instead to set partition ~ much easier.
To fix the main issue with SD card: Go to phone settings -> SD & Phone Storage -> Unmount SD card --> Format SD Card.
Files should appear on your sd card again -> connect your phone to your USB and check that the files are back. That's your fix
Then just add your Roms, music, videos back onto your fat32 partition as before. Using Rom Manager, the Roms stored on SD appear again.
Edit: i have installed T-mod leedroid 2.2d and is working great.
To the previous post ~ i just did a full wipe because all my files on the SD card were corrupted anyways, could not even copy them. But i didn't think my SD card itself was corrupted.
Thanks,
Brendan
I did a little more investigating last night. On Ubuntu, if I insert the SD card, it mounts both partitions, but it can only read the fat32 one. I can see my images and stuff from there so I know its ok. But if I view the ext3 partition, it shows as empty, but if I right click on it, the properties show that there is 123mb in use of the 512mb partition. That seems about right because there should be some apps and stuff in there. I have made sure that the files arent hidden or anything, but still nothing.
If I try and copy anything to the partition, it wont let me and gives me a rather cryptic error: something along the lines that it cant access the card because it is not ready? I couldn't even unmount the disk because of the same error. I dont have my Ubuntu machine with me now so I cant check.
I can copy the stuff I want off my card and re-format/partition it but to be honest its more hassle than its worth.
I'd be more inclined to find out why this is happening. It only seems to go after the handset is rebooted (my battery went flat on Saturday) and since then, nothing.
I appreciate you posting your solution but I think we have slightly different problems..
Thanks
So it's possible I might just be dumb and screwed up, but I think I might have reformatted something that I didn't mean to reformat.
I wanted to wipe my SD card because I found that there were random pics appearing in my gallery of people I've never seen before in my life (got the phone second hand but popped the SD card in that I used with my old Fascinate). Opening up My Computer, there were two different removable discs that were the SD card inside my phone and what I now presume to be internal storage. I backed up everything I wanted and wiped both the SD card and the other storage device via my laptop.
Here is the problem. Whenever I boot the phone up, there is a notification that says my SD card is either blank or not in a compatible format... It asks if I want to format it, I click OK, and everything seems fine... Until I have to reboot the phone and it does the same thing all over again. This is getting to be an annoyance because I don't want to keep deleting everything on my SD card whenever I reboot my phone.
Can anybody help me fix this?
Okay I definitely did something to the internal storage. I tried taking my SD card out and rebooting it and I am still getting the blank SD card notification. It won't let me format it. What do I do?
Try connecting the sdcard to your computer through a usb adapter, or any alternative to using the phone's USB-mount. Format it with FAT32. Put it back in your phone and see if it works. If not, you might have a corrupt sdcard. Try a different one if available.
What directory were the pictures appearing in? It's possible they were cached from the browser or some social app.
Hello,
I just got a 64 gb micro sd and just been experiencing issues since. I have formatted it to Fat32. It would randomly not show up when I plug in my phone, it does not show under it.
When I transfer music...they break? Will say something like so and so cannot be played, format is not supported or file does not exist. When I look at my musics on the computer, i cannot delete because it says i need written permission.
I am at lost for word at the moment because it is the second one I got...all having the same issue. When I format to exFat it does not even get mounted.
Backup your SD Card to your PC. Use the phone to Format, then put all your files back onto the Card.
I have already done that, it doesn't work...wouldn't mount
