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.
I managed to get CyanogenMod 7 RC2 up and running. I noticed that I had a lot of junk on my SD card so I thought that I could back it up and then wipe it because most/all of the useful stuff was on the internal memory of the DHD. But, for some reason, my phone is telling me that my SD card is damaged.
I don't think that there is anything wrong with the SD card because I just did a copy/paste thing to back it up. Also, I've put in another SD card and it also says that it's damaged. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Run fix_permissions and reboot

Thanks for the reply, but I don't think I can do that. I can't put that on my SD card because there if I try to connect it with the computer, I can't mount the SD card or turn on the usb sharing thing. I'll be able to reformat the SD card soon because I'm borrowing a friend's micro sd card to sd card converter.
I tried Fix Permissions by going into recovery and advanced options, but that didn't work =/
Also, I remember now that I uninstalled "Goldcard Helper" because it said it was downloaded to my SD card so I thought that I could uninstall it and be able to clean up my SD card completely. Maybe that had some effect on this?
Got my friend's converter so now I can plug the micro SD directly into my computer. Oddly enough, it said I had to format it before I could use it which is essentially what my phone was telling me to do too.
I'll wipe it then see if it works
Perfect! I think it is working completely now! One last question of what I should do now that it's working. Can I plug it in, restore a few pictures I had, and just let Android take over from there? It's completely blank on the SD card so will Android know what to do with it?
I'm in a world of hurt and hoping someone has a solution for me!
I took my SD Card out of my phone & plugged it into my laptop. I then took all the files from my SD card and dragged them into a folder. Next I deleted those files from the SD card so I could use it for another purpose.
After I finished this process I got rid of what I had put on the SD card for the other purpose & dragged all the Android files from that temp folder back to my SD card.
Now my phone won't recognize my SD card. The card will not mount and when I boot my phone I get a message that says "blank SD card". When I click on that message it prompts me to reformat my SD card and warns me that everything on it will be lost.
So what I'm wondering is: can I reformat the card, plug it back into my laptop, drag the files back to the SD card and all will be well?
Or is there something else I need to do?
Or am I screwed?
I even tried a CWM restore...but the restore is on the SD card so that obviously isn't an option.
At any rate, I really need some help here and I'm hoping someone can provide some guidance and direction for me.
Thanks!

Yes, format the card inside the phone then put everything back on it.
Do you BONSAI?
Worked great!
ok so today i got my new sd card in the mail. I put it in and went to boot it up and it wont go past splashscreen. Not thinking, I already deleted my old memory card and didnt back it up. What do i need to do to get my phone back up and running. I did a search but looks like all the threads the user had nandroid backup. I do not. thanks
Are you rooted? Was your old memory card partitioned? Where did you purchase this card from? Does it work in a pc card reader?
No matter what, any android phone can boot up android without an sd card, it will just tell you there is no sd card when you boot up.

Yes its rooted. I was using myn rom. I got the card on ebay. It does work in my pc card reader. I tried switching back to the old sd card (which i deleted everything ) If i remember correctly i did partition my old card a long time ago.
ok I wiped everything (cache,dalvic..) then reattempted to flash rom that i put on blank sd card and so far it has come to the boot animation screen so hopefully this has worked. UPDATE: the phone is back up woooohoooooooooo man its amazing how we panic without our phones haha
I took out my sd card to check to see what class i had (16 gb class 2)
After putting the sd card back in and trying to boot my phone up, it boots but once it is on i cannot unlock or access anything.
The sd card is partitioned and everything. and it worked fine before i did this.
Any suggestions, i figure im going to have to reflash my rom but i am trying to avoid this
More info?
What ROM are you running? Is the SD card all the way in?
