Okay here's the deal
I rooted with Unrevoked software, and all went well. However today I turned my phone on and my SD card has disappeared, its not even under 'USB Connection' anymore.
I'm stumped as to what did this..
Would it be a bad ROM flash? or a HBoot issue?
Recovery & Fastboot can connect via USB, but unable to mount the SD card even from there.
Tried clearing cache and such but no go.
I have tried extensively googling for a solution to this but nothing specifically for the Desire..
is it possible to use fastboot or something similar to reflash on the desire?
Desperately need help
Thanks in advance
Your phone certainly isn't bricked just because the SD card is giving bother
Have you tried puttin the SD card into a car reader and formatting it, or running check disk on it? Have you tried a different card in the phone to see if it reads that one?
Yep tried a card reader, windows sees the partition.
But I can try it again. does it have to be fat or fat32?
Haven't ran chkdsk or scandisk in the card, ill do that now
interestingly, there are multiple files such as
"qxdm_20100922_093013_1.dm"
on the card since I last formatted it and had it in and out of the phone.
if the phone/root has been writing to it, then what could it be?
Format it to fat32. It could be an iffy card.
Well funnily enough the card is iffy, as I put it into my camera with a regular sd adapter and it says 'memory card error'
however, even though a spare 64MB card I have which works fine in the camera, doesn't work in the phone.
I am stumped ):
IS there a way thru adb to re-flash the desire? or atleast inject packages so I can get my contacts back?
The camera card you tried may well be formatted in a file system that the desire doesn't recognise, unless you already formatted that to fat32 too?
It's been a while for me, but if i remember correctly you can run an official ruu directly from the pc with usb connected. This would reflash your phone to factory default. It would leave you unrooted etc, but that's a minor issue you can deal with once your up and running again!
Have a look HERE for the ruu you need
yeah i formatted them both to fat32. How weird.
when/if the reflash works, can I re-root it afterwards? does it depend on the version of the RUU? or would I have to wait?
edit:
I did find this:

That thread is a year old and for the Hero. Do you have usb problems? when you connect it to the usb port does it charge straight away etc?
As for the ruu, look for the one your phone had before root, if you used unrEVOked then your rom will be still the same so go to menu>settings>about phone>software information. Your rom will be listed there.
I have SD card mount problems. USB works in fastboot & recovery. The SD card mounting doesn't. It doesnt show up anywhere; even under the clockwork recovery it fails to mount, says the device doesn't exist, despite the card being plugged in. When you go to that 'default connect to PC' in the phone that option to use the sd card (removable media or whatever it was) has disappeared.
Its bizarre.
oh yeah that code I pasted above was from my kernel, so whatever he had, I think I'm having a similar issue.
Ar crap I installed a custom rom over the factory one..now im in trouble?
I am 99% sure you don't have the usb brick issue as you used unrEVOked, but anyway take a look HERE and see if you see any similarities there to what your experiencing.
There is a fix in there for SD card issues.
holy ****
that fixed it, thank you SO f****ng much!
If you were in Melbourne, Australia I'd buy you a beer!
much appreciated. My phone was only 5 hours old I thought I broke it already haha
again, thank you
Lol no worries. Glad your sorted.
o oh, bad news

I think I do, have this USB bricking. I didnt notice but yeah the phone _doesnt_ charge straight away anymore, and when I click 'disk drive' in that 'connect to PC' part, the SDcard drive doesn't show in my computer
To confirm the usb brick, check if you have the other symptoms too. It would be unusual to get it using unrEVOked, as it was a problem with older root methods.
Anyway, if that is your problem it's easilly fixable now by following the guide in the link I posted earlier.
Good luck, and let me know how you get on.
Revoked itself didn't usb-brick the phone, I think the culprit was apps2sd. But yeah I've read the guide and ill get around to re rooting and applying that usb update shortly a.d ill see how it all goes
Thanks
Hello guys,
I woke up too early this morning, and i accidentally knocked my phone off the stairs. It fell about 2 meters, bounced and then fell another meter, bounced and fell another meter and stopped.
Thankfully it was in a silicon case (i think that's what made it bounce) and there are no visible damages.
I picked it up, and it seemed to be working. After a few secs it went into sleep mode and would not wake up.
I removed the battery and rebooted, and i got the HTC screen, then the nexus boot screen and it stays stuck on the nexus boot.
I then entered recovery mode and thought i would try and restore my backup. I get the following message:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No such file or directory)
E: Can't mount /sdcard
I took off the SD card, put it my pc and it works just fine.
I got another SD card, copied a rom onto it and tried to reinstall through recovery.
I did a wipe/data factory reset and tried to install the rom.
I got the same message...
Is my Desire toast? It's only six months old...
I was running Defrost6.1 and using psfMod 0.9.7.2 as my recovery.
Any advice would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks
aalex
UPDATE
I did another wipe data / factory reset, and i rebooted.
The rom starts up, without any of my previous settings of course, but I still cannot mount my SD card.
From file manager, it seems that it is being mounted, but no files are listed...
When i try with gallery it reports "SD card unmounted or not present".
Any insights?
Drop it again, it helps

With your SD card in your phone go into settings then storage and unmount SD card. Then format your SD card from your phones menu and it should mount the SD card see if that worked.

Hi ste1164,
Thanks for responding. My problem is that my phone cannot pickup the existence of an SD card.
This is a typical USB-brick. I've had one a few weeks ago. You should look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639&highlight=usb+brick.
If you're new to this, it can be hard to get it working again. Just let me know if you have any problems. It took me a few hours to get it done
From fastboot via ADB, execute "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" and then reboot it with "fastboot reboot" command.
See if it works.
If you don't remember how to do the above, just search.

its not a usb brick, thats a software brick.... it sounds to me like you have a corrupt sd card, sd cards are very delecate and this can happen from a sudden impact, try formatting the card in windows explorer, obviously you cannot format your sd-ext using windows so try gparted or ubuntu to format your other partition.

Can't be sdcard, op said tried sdcard in PC and tried different sdcard...same result, must be sdcard reader or something.
You never know, might be a USB brick, just happened before the drop and was brought on by the reset...but I agree probably is hardware fault.
Is it possible to flash stock rom from fastboot without sdcard? Could try warranty repair then...

sorry i didnt notice that, could be a usb brick but like i said thats S/W related and i doubt dropping your phone could cause such an error, +1 suppose the sudden reset could cause the usb brick especially if the device was reading or writing to the sd card when it happened, could also be the sd card reader in the device has been damaged or one of the internal components. can the device read the sim card? if it dosent, could be a usb brick
Just a thought...is the sdcard reader attached by a ribbon? (never seen the inside of my desire, hope I never have to)
I'm sure I've heard of a few desires that can't read sdcard anymore, I reckon it's either attached by ribbon or it's the most delicate part of the phone.
I'm hoping it's a loose ribbon because that's an easy fix, even I could do that.
Hey guys,
Thanks to all of you for responding.
My sim card works just fine. I can make and receive calls, texts, go online via 3g and Wifi, connect through bluetooth. As far as i can tell, my phone does everythind it did before except mount an SD card. Also, the android market keeps crashing, and if i try and download anything from the net i get a prompt saying that i need an sd card to download.
So far I took the SD card and put it in my pc. I formated it, tried again but it didnt work.
I then tried a brand new sd card and that didn't work either.
However, I did not format the old card's ext2 partition, and the new sd doesn't have an ext partition yet.
Would this point to a USB Brick as mentioned above?
Would it be possible for me to flash the stock rom on the device?
Thanks once again, to all of you.

Yes, that should solve your problem. I had the same problem a few weeks ago, but that included a malfunctioning usb, even charging didn't work correctly.
To fix the sd-card, you should run the above command using the tool fastboot, available in the Android sdk. After downloading, cd to the tools folder in the sdk and then run the command while your phone is connected to your pc in fastboot mode. Then it should work again.

Hey koenvbeek,
Thanks for the help. I think i may need a bit more of it
Here is what i did so far:
I used Nephrons guide to download and install ADB.
I then rebooted to bootloader. The phone displays "fastboot" and then when i plug it in it dispalys fastboot-usb
I then went to the ADB tools directory and tried to run the command.
I got a message saying the command cannot be run because adbwinapi.dll is missing from my system, and asking me to reinstall everything...
Clearly i made a mistake somewhere but where?
I don't think you made a mistake
Either the requested file is missing, or it can't be used by your computer. First check if the file is present. If not, google for it.
If it is present, your computer can't use it for some reason. Are you on a 64-bit OS? If you're on Vista/7: did you open the cmd promt as admin?
Yeah, nothing wrong, it's just that the API library is missing.
Download it from the attachment here, and put it in the "tools" folder, then try again.
Edit: As you can see it's in an archive, since dll attachment is not enabled here, so extract the file from it.
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.

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 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.

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

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.
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.

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.
