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?

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
im currently running cm7.
i have an htc EVo.
i was backing up my data on this 4GB to move it on a 8gb micro sd card. i deleted everything on it and ejected it. i put the 8gb in and suddenly it did not work any more. neither did the 4gb mico sd card. my phone says that the micro sd cards are damaged. i have several other cards that wont read. idk why... i tried plugging the micro sd cards up to the computer and the computer wont recognize them. it tells me i have to format but the format always fails. i there a fix for this? im starting to think that cm7 is damaging my sd cards. i have important things on their to me and i would love to recover them.
THANKS IN ADVANCE
*UPDATE*
the 4gb i currently have will work in my old phone. it is a samsung highnote. but when i put it back in my htc evo it still says that it is damaged. i rebooted in clock work mod and it read this time. i was able to mount the 4gb sd card in usb storage from CWM(Clock Work MOd).
Try formating it on your pc

Hey,
Yeah sometimes that happened, now do other micro sd cards work in it?
What I would do is put the card in your computer I prefer linux but you can do what you want, or even your phone if it will mount it in recovery then just do a full sd card wipe and that should get everything working for you! If you still can't get it to work PM me and we will figure it out!
If I helped hit the thanks please and thank you!
The SD Formatter program from the SD association can nearly always format a card when nothing else can. Now, the data on there may not be recoverable though. I learned that the hard way too a while back.

It couldnt reformat my partitioned sd card though! but besides that that program works great!
I have had similar issues. My SD card was working amazingly well until I rebooted my phone to show someone my splash screen I had installed a few days prior. When it booted up it said the SD card was damaged. I'm not sure why....but sure enough it was toast. I couldn't even mount the card in order to see the files on my computer. Thankfully my motherboard was able to see that the card was there, just inaccessible, so I was able to run File Scavenger and get all of my files off. After that I reformatted my SD Card and went about my business.
On my DInc, my SD card refuses to be read even though there is a card in the slot. If I boot to recovery, I can go under Mounts/Storage and Mount USB Storage to copy my ROMs etc to it from Windows Explorer.
But as soon as I boot into the Dinc, the SD card says "Preparing SD card" followed immediately by "SD Card Removed". What's the deal with this?
I've used a great number of ROMs and it simply hasn't worked in a while. I'm currently running Clutch 1.0.
Any ideas how to get my SD card working from the phone again? To reiterate, I can access the SD card if I reboot to recovery and access it under Mounts/Storage. Just not when the phone is booted up for use.
I think your best bet would be to reformat the sd card through a pc to FAT32. Make sure to copy all the sd card contents to a computer before formatting it. See if this helps.
Hi,
I'm currently using Task's AOKP Rom and after performing a TWRP nandroid backup to my external sd card.. My external sd card started having problems. When I rebooted back to AOKP it showed an sd card error in the notifications asking me to reformat.
I've used this 32gb sd card for 4 months, installing various AOSP and TW JB roms with no problems at all. Yes, I wipe and flash everything correctly. This seemed to just happen randomly. I plugged my phone into my computer and it only shows my internal sd card available. When I go to mnt/extsdcard in file explorer, it shows no files.
Does anyone know a way to get my ext sd card working again? I'd like to get access to my files.
Thanks,
Tom
Update: it must just be my ext sd card... I plugged it into an adapter and it's not reading on my computer. My 8 gb version works fine but my 32 doesn't read at all. Any suggestions or is my sd card fried?
Ok. Here is the scenario. Was on stock rooted LCJ. SD card working perfectly there. I flash to MIUI after doing a totally clean wipe and I'm able to access the SD card via the rom and PC when I sync. I go into recovery and do a full wipe and then flash CM10 with gapps. CM10 loads up okay but i notice that i have a notification that the SD card is broken and I should try formatting it. I attempt to sync the phone to the pc via USB cable but only the internal storage will mount.
I go into recovery and confirm that TWRP can still see the contents of the SD card. Having confirmed that TWRP can see the SD card I do another full wipe and then restore my stock rooted LJC. However, after restoring LJC the SD card issue persist. The phone does an error check but it doesn't fix the issue. It recommends that I format the SD card which I don't want to do and don't know if it will work. I attempt to sync the phone to the PC with the USB cable (which has always worked) but only internal will mount. Go into recovery and the SD card's contents are still showing up.
Also, I have a Kingston Media reader which I pop the SD card into and connect to the PC. Even using this media reader the SD card is still not being seen and the PC says the card should be formatted. Basically the only damn thing that recognizes stuff on the SD card is TWRP.
Anyone have any good advice on this topic? BTW...I have a class 10 64GB sd card. As mentioned above I never ever had a problem with this thing. Have always mounted it to the PC w/o a problem and has always appeared on every rom I have ever tried until trying CM10 today.
41 views and not one person has any input? guess i'm going to have to format the card and hope that works. really sucks balls. wish i at least knew for sure what caused this problem.
had the exact same issue. I had just purchased a sandisk 64 gig the week before and when it happened I had a hard time believing it was the card that went bad. I had no luck recovering anything off of the card but did format it and it has worked fine since.

its not the card...............its the formatting of the card. it has to be formatted fat32 for it to be recognized in cm10. stock format is exFAT
I had the same issue with my SanDisk 64 GB drive. I went back to Synergy and the card is recognized in that ROM. I can't get CWM or TWRP to recognize the card though. I get an error whenever I try to access the card from recovery. It sucks that I have to put anything I want to flash on internal memory
