Okay so I had my dinc2 plugged into the computer to put stuff on the sd card. I ejected it with v-cast but must have pulled it out too soon. I tried pulling the card and putting it back in, pulling the battery and rebooting the phone. I tried plugging it into the computer again but there isnt an option to mount it when I try to change it from charge only. I try to access the card from the computer and I am not sure which drive it is. It shows the android in the devices on my computer. I am at a loss as to what to do. Can I repair the card? Im using windows 7. Thanks for any help.
Try testing your SD card by putting it into your pc directly using the bigger SD piece that your micro can fit in.. if your pc still doesn't read it, it might be dead. I've had it where I pulled it out too early and had to do that.. unfortunately I had to reformat the SD card as well and lost everything on it... Thank god for backups

I am a newbie to rooting and trying different roms. Today after trying different roms, my phone no longer identifies the sd card. I have tried almost everything but I am unsuccessful. Any help will be grateful thanks.

What rom were you on when the problem started? Do you have a card reader that you could put the sd card into, and then into your computer? Does the computer recognize the card? I would see if you can format the card with your computer, and then put the card back in the phone, and see if that helps. Just keep in mind that formatting the card will completely wipe it, so if you have any important stuff that you need saved, I'd copy it to your computer before formatting it.
Did you try just taking the card out of the phone, then putting it back in? Does the computer see the phone itself when you plug it in to the computer? If so, can you view the card from the computer when you select "disk drive"?
Dont have a card reader and I was using Mikfroyo 4.6. When I flashed back to the original rom that I have been using for the past couple of days it no longer recognizing the sd card

Strange. So the phone doesn't recognize it, nor does the computer when you plug it in via USB, correct? Do you get a green charging led when it's plugged in to the computer? Do you happen to have another phone that uses an sd card, to put your card into the other phone? If not, and you're unable to format the card using the phone, then I'd try to get a card reader. Either borrow one from a friend, or buy one. They're usually pretty cheap. If neither of those options are viable, perhaps see if you could try another sd card in your phone for a sec, if you have access to one. See the phone reads a different card. Hopefully you'll be able to try one of those options. There is a thread laying around here somewhere, by Calkulin, and it has instructions on how to fix broken sd card and / or usb port. I'll have to look for it, but I know it's around here somewhere. You may want to search for that thread.
i will look for the thread..I reset my phone but not back to stock and still unable to read the sd card

1-Did you try using another sd card?
2-Take your sd card out and see if your phone keeps rebooting itself still.
3-Are you getting an error notification in your status bar about the sd card? If so, use an sd card reader and plug it directly into your laptop. Copy and paste all the files from your sd card to your laptop. If you have a corrupted file or files on the sd card, windows wont copy it over and youll get a pop up window telling you so. Once all of the files are copied to your laptop, reformat your sd card using windows. Then put it into your evo and reformat it through the phone as well. Then copy and paste the good files from the laptop back to the phone. This should solve your problem as long as its not ROM related.
Just Got it to read on my laptop
What should I do next?
Format it?

try another sd card. if the phone is still not detecting it then you may have a prob with the phone.
Sucks,cause I don't think Sprint will give me a new phone,
cause I was rooted
:S
Maybe if I say it's hardware problem....

You don't have to unroot your phone for Sprint to replace it. As long is it is not physically damage or been exposed to liquid take it to a Service and Repair center and they will order a replacement as long as you have TEP.
did you have to pay 100?
I didn't pay anything but my phone wasn't rooted! I blamed it all on gingerbread

Need a way to access internal memory so I can fix my usb or sd card see following for information:
Short Version:
USB wont work and SD card wont work so I cannot use the following method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243
Long Version:
So right after i had backed up my rom i did a wipe, then the phone stopped recognizing my sd card. I took it to Sprint they couldn't figure it out, so i was stuck in Bootloader. yesterday i did a hard reset and wa-la i can now use my phone ...sorta. It will turn on I can access everything, but it freezes up and shuts off after 40 seconds (i got it to stay for 2mins one time) also it still will not recognize my sd card. I tried other cards still no luck and I know my card works because I can use it in my laptop. So i did a little searching on xda and found a fix, but i cant do the fix unless i plug my phone into the laptop and run a cmd prompt well now here is the other problem my computer sees the phone (listed as My HTC) but my phone wont recognize that it is plugged in. It will charge when it is shut off thats about it. Well back to xda and there is a fix for the usb, but.... I need my phone to recognize my sd card because the files will be on it. In short to fix my sd card i need usb and to fix the usb i need my card I am stuck in a horrible loop, so what I need is a way to access my phones internal memory so I can install the usb files on it so that i can fix usb then my card, then recover my rom.
Thanks to wall who help or at least try
Im not totally sure if this will help, but i know you can mount the sd card as usb storage in Amon_Ra and also in settings under "storage" or so i believe there are settings for mounting and unmounting the Micro Sdcard check those, it should be mounted in the settings for your phone to see it. hope i helped
I just had this exact same problem. Nandroid, wipe, flash, then stuck in bootloader spent two days trying fixes, unroot, root, and,had to turn it in. Luckily best buy has an awesome warranty.

thanks all... ended up replacing my phone, but if anyone ever finds a way to fix it let me know! Thanks again
I was really hoping that this thread would not dead-end. I've got what sounds like a similar issue...in addition to not being able to reformat my SD card (in Windows or in Android) due to it being detected as write-protected, but it's not write protected.
I'm really anxious to try the aforementioned thread to fix USB and SD, but I can't detect, mount, or format my SD card. Am I screwed?
*EDIT* Fixed the write-protection issue...working on the rest now.
*EDIT* Still can't format card through Android. Is there an ADB or fastboot command to format the SD card?
Ok, so I have a HTC EVO 4G and it's currently rooted running a MikRom. Recently, for some reason, when I plug my phone to a Mac or a Windows computer it does not recognize the phone in USB Mode. Specifically on my windows pc, I get a
"USB Device not recognized One of the usb devices attached has malfuntioned etc.. and I went through the process of trying to install the driver but nothing
I have also unmounted the card in settings and mounted it back and still nothing.. What I was going to do was completely erase my SD Card but will that erase my Root however?
It will not erase root.

Think about it like this; can you take your SD card out ans have the phone run perfectly fine? Then you can wipe it

Very True, Do you think that reformatting my SD Card will possibly fix the issue of it not mounting on my computer

It's possible. However, before you do that, take the card out ant put directly into a card reader for a computer. This will let you know if the card is bad, or maybe the phone's reader is bad. If the card is bad, you can try error checking it in Windows, and maybe salvage the data on the card.
But if that doesn't work, try re-formatting it. It may help, it may not. If not, new 8gb cards are only a few bucks now.
Ok I have one at home Ill try

It very well could be your USB. Use an adapter as posted, then try another USB.

I have a 32gb sd card that i have had in the phone since i got it (in july), been working fine. all the sudden while i was on twitter a notification popped up saying the card had been removed. so i took the back off, removed it and put it back in, it wouldnt read the card. took it back out, turned the phone off, turned it back on and when it was back on i reinserted the card, it said card inserted, then never mounted it.
i took the card out and put it into a card reader on my computer and it worked great.
any ideas on what else i can try?
stock rom, rooted. if that helps.
anyone?
If it isn't detecting on your phone, try plugging it via usb->microsd adapter or sd. If windows doesn't detect then the card is probably dead.
Pull everything you want to keep off the card, reformat with yourcomputer, put it back in your phone. Should detect it then. Same thing happened to me on cwm6.0.1.4 touch.

What does it say in Settings -> Storage?
I had similar experience recently with 64gb card after attempting format it to FAT32 on computer. I wrecked the card and it become totally useless, but the symptoms where similar, except it would show me "empty card" message and attempts format it on phone would "succeed" yet would not mount, keep showing "empty card"...
If you have another card, you could test with it, if it works, then perhaps format on computer could fix it.

I wish people would read complete post before replying...
i dont have another card to test.
the card works great on my computer, just not in phone.
when its in the phone it just keeps popping up n the notifications saying "SD card is safe to remove" 5 min after i get rid of the notification, it comes back.
i got a message on my phone asking me if i want to reformat it (i had already copied everything from it to my comp for a back up) so i did that, but it didnt work.
I will try reformatting on my computer.
Try a factory reset and reformat the SD to FAT32 or just use the phone to do it.
