[Q] Is it Bricked? SD card unavailable.

Ok so I was running T-Mod_LeeDrOiD_2.3d_A2SD rom. And yestarday while playing Robo Defense phone just froze, screen stayd on etc. I waited few minutes and after that took out the battery. After the restart everything is fine except for the SD card being unavailable. So all my aps don't start (as that's where they install by defult). I spend few hours googling about and it look like SD brick.
I've tried standard ROM using fastboot. No luck
Trying unrEVOked without any luck.
Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks
EDIT: Tested card in PC and other phone is fine. As well tried 2 other cards, none of them is working.

Its probably your sd card that went crazy.
Simply take it out and reformat it in windows, fat32 if you're wondering.
And do the usual, partition using either ROM manager/gparted for your ext.
Though you most probably wont be able to recover whatever you had on your sd card. If you're lucky, your computer might read it.
Not too sure what caused this to happen.

Yeah, do what friedkimchi said.
Try to mount it on your PC and if it reads it, then you're good.
However back up your stuff from there and reformat it again. It happened to me once with the samsung omnia, and I was told it was a sign of a dying SD card and they were right. But that's just my case, maybe in yours some internal program code caused the mess up.

Great advice. The good news is that if your device started and works OK (minus the apps stored on your sd card) then nothing too bad has occurred. If reformat doesn't work, buy a new card - in fact probably best to buy a new card anyway as once they get a bit wonky they tend to stay that way.

O sorry i forgot to mention it. Card is fine, as well I've tested 2 other cards they all work in PC or other phone but none of them works in desire.
Just thinking is it possible that the card slot just died?

Could be the problem is with the ext partition on the sd card that you can't see in windows.
That's where A2SD loads the apps - probably including the game you were playing when the thing went belly-up.
If you have access to a spare card then I'd suggest you format it with an ext partition (using rom manager or similar) then reflash the LeeDroid ROM you've been using.

Problem is I can't format any card in the phone. Even in recovery mode I can't use any card

It happened to me once. It's no big deal.
Just boot your phone to fastboot mode (turn it off, and turn it on while holding back button), connect it to PC, and run this command from Android SDK tools folder:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
Reboot, and you are fine.

Then try to partition it on the PC with gparted.

Code:
H:\Software\AndroidSDK\SDK\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
... OKAY [ 0.090s]
finished. total time: 0.091s
And still same problem

hmmm - bugger.
you can format your card using other tools - maybe take a look at this and see if it helps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534714

No go either
Getting permission denied error on first command

Also had some trouble when I just got my Desire, after a week using it suddenly it told me the SD was damaged, so I pulled it out like I did on my Wildfire, and put it back in, no joy.
Then found out the slot has a 'click-in-lock' so push it in till it clicks. Lock doesn't work, you can just pull it out after the click, but it fixed my troubles and I could keep using my SD.

Can you please upload a screenshot of this process as i am not understanding about your process and also i had tried it but it didnt work.
It shows fastboot is not recognized as internal or external command operable program or batch files.
Please reply asap.

I remember having 2.3.3.gb stock amd I bought 8gb kingston sd card and it kept saying unexpectedly removed so I did some research on youtube and found out it was fake... so this time I bought it on ebay but in UK and that one worked properly so yh he sure to check that out.

Can you try if your memory card is readable by your recovery, like clockworkmod? If yes probably take a nand backup (alternatively take backup of data in computer), reformat & try.

I had that problem in January 2011 but thanks!

Error mounting SDCard

Hi i have an HTC Desire running a custom rom. I had amon RA and yesterday i have flash Clockmod recovery through fastboot. After rebooting it keep up booting on the flash screen. I have formated my sd card and try to re-install a custom rom but i'm getting an error. E:can't mount/dev/block/mmcb1k0p1( No such file or directory.Error mounting SDCard! I am trying to mount the sdcard through clockmod but still the same error. i was thinking may be the card is not good. I bought another card but still the same. Pls can someone help me to sort that out.
My Desire is s-off with Hboot 0.93

Sounding like the SDcard is "deactivated". Maybe it's the usb-brick? Try a search for that. I think there was anything about reactivatIng SDcard...

Same probem here
Hi.
I juste encountered today the exact same problem : After a Nand back-up using CWM, I discovered that nothing had been written on the SD-Card.
Whan I tried to reboot, I entered into a boot loop.
Back in recovery, I had no mean to mount /sdcard or /sd-ext : I always get an error message "Can't mount ..."
I am S-OFF, Hboot 0.93.
Any help ?

can't mount sdcard
hi today i have bought another sd card. Formated and partition it using gparted. put the card on my phone et voila the phone boot normally and enter the OS. But the card problem is still there and i can access all the apps on the phone. setting is no longer available on the phone. Any idea how can we sort that as i can see a lot of people is encountering this issue. there is no one who can address this issue?

i have got a link to that forum and have try to follow the instructions but stuck on the first step. It says you must root your phone as mine is already rooted but may be we have to re-root it. While connecting my phone i'm getting found new hardware: Qualcomm cdma. I have search the net and downloaded and install activesyn but can't found the phone. I am unable to root it. Any suggestion?

Same problem here although I have a htc explorer. I continuously have to keep reinstalling my Rom and formatting my sd card. Its probably because of software bugs

is your phone say "sd card removed. please insert a new one"?
if yes, try to backup your data and format the SD card with CWM Recovery.
mine was back to normal after partitioned by CWM

Don't waste your money on sd cards. You should get an sd card adapter/reader to format your card using your computer. Sometimes the format option on mobiles do not function properly.

As long as your sd is readable by your computer, you should be able to mount your sd card using cwm recovery

Enable the SD Card functionality. Boot your phone in FASTBOOT mode (back + power), and enter this command: 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' . This will re-enable your SD card."

I have a CDMA Desire that would not read the sd card. I tried all the different tutorials I could find, but nothing worked. I finally ended up taking the phone apart, and there was a connection right beside the sd card slot that was partially disconnected. I reconnected that and everything works fine now.
Seems like connections disconnect fairly often with the desire (GPS, LED, SD card, etc..) so if nothing else works and you are comfortable taking your phone apart, you could try that.
Here is a video of how to disassemble the phone.

SD card won't mount

Running ICS and my SD card won't mount anymore it happened during normal operation tried to fix through fastboot still no luck can't be seen in hboot or in recovery and doesn't show up in ICS any ideas on what could have caused it after looking I'm leaning towards hardware

sorry but i don't have a fast answer. However you should check the troubleshooting guide maybe you can find something.

Yeah I've tried the SD card stuff from there was hoping for a way to test the slot through fast boot I've tried another card no luck

right ive given up as no fastboot commands will let the device see the sd card ive gone and ordered a new sim/sd card flex card and am wondering if anyone has a guide on how to replace it or similar

right so ive changed the micro sd / sim flex cable same issue the sd card did randomly mount itself the other day but stopped not long after the sd card is working fine still in pc and doesnt matter how i format it doesnt mount in the phone other sd cards ive also tried didnt mount any ideas what could be the problem?

Which fastboot command(s) did you try / use?

Did I read that right you can read the card in CPU or card reader? I had this same issue before I rooted and was running stock happened shortley after I purchased phone it turned out that there was something wrong with the card put in different card and voila it worked. I inquired with the carrier and they couldn't give me an answer as to why it happened or what. Hopefully this provides some help

Flash 2.3.3 RUU. If SD card can be mounted, get S-OFF and root with Revolutionary.

apears to be the right one i dont know if its 2.3.3 tho just try installing that one?

You get the 2.3.3 RUU from the HTC Developer Center.

nope no luck when reinstalling stock guess its a motherboard fault and i cant be bothered to replace that so thanks for the help learned a few things

Try this
I had very simpular problem many times. Try this:
Boot into recovery, select advanced options, mount USB. Connect to pc, till you see the drive come up on your computer. May take a few times plugging in, back out of mount. You can verify it working in recovery, I just go into "install zip from sd" and see if there are files/folders. Unplug, then select to restart device.
Has worked for me a couple times, I have been doing a thousand other methods in the last 6 months. Some worked some didn't, this one has been the easiest and best results. Hope it works for you.

[Q] Is my Desire dying? Can't make outgoing calls and SD card bricked

Many months ago my Desire somehow managed to brick the SD card it came with. I put it down to a manufacturing fault and bought a brand-name other; everything's been fine for months.
Last night I was playing around with the Desire's text to speech settings when my phone rebooted unexpectedly. When I turned it back on I'd lost all data ability and the ability to make calls receiving calls and sending/receiving texts was fine.
I had a quick search around here and tried various different things, ultimately rebooting the phone a couple of times, however I am now in the state where by SD card is no longer recognised in the Desire, nor in recovery mode, nor in Windows using an adapter.
Does anyone have any bright ideas as to what to do to fix this?

what rom you running? any ext partitions? Probably your card died... try it reformat under gparted live cd

Format card with this http://www.box.com/s/4yxtn33zh4h2915bzcyx
Options, Full erase if you have time go for full rewrite. Better use SD card reader.
THIS WILL WIPE ENTIRE CARD!
DO NOT UNPLUG CARD WHILE ITS WIPING!

Tried both linux and the SD card formatter - both failed. The latter even reported the card was write protected... the card doesn't even have a physical write protect switch!
I bit the bullet and decided to buy a new card this afternoon. I've just gone ahead and flashed a new cyanogen rom and flashed the latest radio - unfortunately the call issue still persists. I make an outgoing call and it doesn't even attempt to ring... just get a single beep and it hangs up!
Any ideas how to fix this?

I've had this issue on the TELUS network in certain locations. It has to do with capacity of the network. I still have some trouble with it, single beeb, no explanation by voice or on screen mesage. Basicly the network you are on is overloaded. I imagine you miss calls durring the same time period as well. Try the same call on another HSPA phone next time it happens. Likely you'll get the lack of connection.

i had a similar problem with my sd card its cant be seen in rom recover or hboot but can be seen in windows makes me mad as i still cant use it and ive tried lots of other cards

It seems that your card had been broken.There's nothing can do when u fail to load a card using adapter...

Kotag82 is right. I had this problem about a month ago and used fastboot commander (search xda for it) to enter the following commands:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 (unblock your sd-card)
fastboot oem eraseconfig
(fix misc partition)
All data is still on the card and everything works again.

[Q] Phone not reading SD cards.

The other day my CM7 desire suddenly crashed, and so I had to take the battery out. Since then it has not been able to read SD Cards in any way. I have tried multiple SD cards, and formatted them with different file systems. Even in Clockwork recovery I could not mount the sd card. The cards work fine on my computer and in my girlfriends phone.
I gave up, and decided to restore my phone to stock to try and return it to Orange for a replacement. I phoned them and they told me it was out of warranty so they could do nothing. In hindsight I should've waited for them to tell me this before I restored to stock!
My phone is now running Android 2.3 from the HTC dev site, which I installed by just executing the update within the .zip.
I have tried to root with unrevoked, but it gets stuck at "waiting for bootloader" in both windows and ubuntu.
I gained S-off using revolutionary in order to perform the commands (as the last command only works with s-off:
Code:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot oem eraseconfig
Since going back to stock, I have tried different cards again. With certain cards (I don't remember which ones), my phone says "preparing SD card" but then tells me I have a "blank sd card or has unsupported filesystem". It gives me the option to format the the card, but this does nothing, and sometimes "unmounts" it.
This has given me hope, so does anyone have any ideas before I do give up?

It seems to me you somehow damaged the sdcard connector inside the phone when ripping out the battery. Did you check to make sure all the pins are not bend or bricked and all can make good contact with the sdcard ? Maybe the card cannot be pushed in the proper way ? something is holding it back or so ?
Doesn't seem to me as a rom/software related issue.

Yeah definitely seems like a hardware issue. Can push the sd card in like normal - at least it doesn't feel any different. Can't see the pins of the sd card reader as they are behind a piece of immovable metal.

Bluetooth is working?

As far as I know, it turns on and off and can discover and pair with devices.
