[Q] SD Card Issues - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all...
I have tried searching and tried all the possible solutions that have come up so wondering if anyone can help..
My DHD is rooted and running Synergy RC2, I've just got it back from repair after having to get a new screen put on. Before having it repaired the SD card was working fine, whilst it was away I was using a Blackberry, I had formatted the SD... I got the phone back on Saturday put the memory card in and it didn't recognise it at all.
At first I thought it was a hardware issue that could have occured whilst it was being repaired, but when the phone is in HBOOT it searches the sd card for PD98IMG... I put PD98IMG onto the sd card and it finds this and parses the file but nothing else happens. Clockwork mod cannot find the SD card nor can the system...
I've tried using fast boot and running 'fastboot oem qxdm 0' but it doesnt help me.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? It's driving me insane!
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried formatting it again? Fat32, and maybe can try checking for bad sectors with scan disk.

Sorry I should have said this in the original post..
I have tried formatting it again and I have tried a number of different cards...
It's just confusing me how it works in the boot loader but no where else.

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.

Phone keeps booting into fastboot

Hey guys.
I've been trying all night to partition 4GB SD card on my HTC Desire and got a problem. I'm getting stuck in fastboot, every time i want to reboot my phone, as I did normally before, i can not, because it boots directly into fastboot. I partitioned with Rom Manager, but have read all around that it does partition the sd card only to ext2, and you need to update to ext3 manually but I didn't know how, even if I read a lot of different tutorials. I can't even get into my froyo and mount my SD card to the pc
Now, can somebody help me get out of this mess?
Any help would be appreciated. Thx.
EDIT:
After reading many more posts lately, I've found out that partitioning went well and that showing 3.2 GB of free space on the SD card was right... Sounds very noobish though.
But, still can't get my mobile phone working, can't even put a new ROM on the SD card and flash it, because can't even mount the SD card on the pc :/

SD card not Mounting Cyanogenmod

Ever since flashing cyanogenmod 6 I have been having several probelms
1. My SD card is not mounted and not recognized by anything. This is stopping me from accessing rom manager or making any changes.
I have tried several things including reformating my sd card and removing files just in case it was to full. I have not been able to figure out how to partition it to part fat32, part ext yet. I am running out of ideas and getting very frustrated with my phone. I have three sd cards to work with and none of them are recognized.
2. This would not be a problem if I could just go to stock. Unfortunately I can not get my pc to get me into recovery so I can preforma NAND backup or flash a different rom that is closer to stock. I think this may have something to do with my sd card not being recognized. I have also tried the workaround involving no pc but still am getting nothing,
3. I am also having issues with usb connectivity.
I think if i can either get my sd card mounted or my phone to enter recovery mode so I can flash another rom, add the google add on, or do a NANdroid backup it would take care of my problems. If any one has a great idea as to how to get my sd card to be recognized I feel that would solve most of my problems.
Thanks Brad
Hey I have the same problem!
Could you solved this sd card issue?
Thanks

SD card not recognized by ROMs?

Strange problem with this desire, I can access the SD card from recovery with stuff like USB-MS and flashing from SD but with stock it says the SD card isn't recognized (the options in Settings are all grayed out). With a rom that has Apps2SD like InsertCoin where some of the main apps are installed to the card it just leaves me with a blank screen on boot with the background/top bar still there.
Pretty strange desire really, when I first looked at it the problem I mentioned above was happening (it was originally on InsertCoin, worked for around 4 months before this started) so I reflashed it to stock and then had it returned to me with the owner saying that their SD was broken.
If anyone knows how to fix this it would be much appreciated as I'm as stuck as a brick wall right now :/
Explain your problem in no more than 2 sentences that actually make sense and I may be able to help you out.
Add on information such as
ROM you are/were using
Can you boot
Does PC recognise phone
Hboot (S-ON/ S-OFF)
Have you tried with another SD ? Maybe it is the SD thats broken ?

Sorry, let me dumb it down a bit:
In Amon Ra recovery it sees the SD card fine and lets me use it over USB fine too but when I boot up into a ROM it doesn't seem to find it.
Using InsertCoin/stock ROM and neither recognize it, it boots up fine and the PC can see the phone too, but since it can't mount the SD card I can't use disk drive mode :/ It's using S-OFF hboot too.

The SD is fine, it works in recovery and in my own desire but I've tried another SD card to be sure and still nothing
hmm ok try to reformat the SD card using recovery and tell me if it works
I've had/got a similar problem. I believe it's a problem with the contacts between the sd card and the 'holder' for the sd card.
Try removing the back of your phone, removing the sd card, pushing down on the metal 'holder', replacing the sd card, and rebooting.
This works for me for anything between 1 minute and a couple of days before the problem starts again.
I have no idea why the card is still accessible in recovery. If the above had no effect then please ignore!
The only solution, and it's really not useful, is to remove the sd card. I've returned my phone for repair and nothing got replaced (my guess is because the sd card is still accessible on recovery)
EDIT: No longer convinced it's the contacts as whenever my phone 'freezes' if I reboot into recovery the sd card is always accessible.
Now think it's to do with the file system/structure on the sd card becoming corrupt.
If I format the sd card as one single fat32 and keep ALL apps on the phone then I have no problems.

Need Help! Stuck at Bootscreen Nothing helps!

Hi,
I've been using CM9 on my Desire GSM SLCD for a few months now and everything worked fine.
Today I restarted my phone and now I always get stuck on the CM9 Bootscreen.
After trying a few times i thought I would just reflash the thing and that would be that. Now the problem is that i get an error saying that my sd card cannot be mounted. Now this is quite an issue because if my sd-card can't be mounted I can't flash anything.
Now I've been googling for about 2 hours, and I've been trying everything I've found but I can't seem to get lucky.
Data:
I'm using Revolutionary as Recovery.
S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
RADIO-5-09-05-30_2
Can anyone plz help me ? It would be much appreciated.
Have you got a USB microSD card reader?
see if you can mount the SD card on windows but preferrably linux or mac

Unfortunately I don't have anything like that. I'll try to get my hands on one.
//edit:
I don't know how but suddenly my phone is booting like I have just reflashed the rom. No settings no nothing is left. It's also using a different boot-screen...I have no idea how that happend.
It's now telling me that the sd-card is damages so I guess that's the problem.
