so yesterday i flashed team sonics freeGS3 R5.. with twrp that i installed from the market. rom works great but now my external sandisk 64 card reads as 123456789abcdefg..ect and then it says it was removed unexpectedly. i think i read that twrp wasnt able to mount exsd in recovery. unless you install via terminal or the new version wasnt able to mount. i took the easy way out and installed twrp with the goomanger app.. and couldnt mount ex sd so i backed up and installed from my internal sd. anywho, has anyone else had problems with their sdcard not being able to mount? i read that other people where having this same issue with it reading as 123456789abcdefhi.. as of R3 but theirs worked so they werent worried about it. someone mention it might be due the sd boost? i never formatted the card or anything yet, it worked right out of the box in the stock rom.. im not sure if it wont mount because of the mounting issue in twrp or if the cards needs reformatted to something else.. anyone else experience this yet? tempted to reflash to see it it helps, i wiped eveything before the install, but i didnt reformat the system, which i normally do. any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.. thanks
The 12345... is just a theme display problem. Try installing another theme, it should correctly say Mounting SD card...
Your 64 SDCard not mounting is because you're probably running a custom kernel that doesn't support exFat. Try formatting your SDcard as FAT32 or NTFS.

First: Yes I've looked at other threads my problem is slightly different and, yes it is my fault for trying stuff beyond my level of skill but I know XDA members are helpful so I'm trying my luck.
Problem: I rooted the device (HTC Desire) and was running LeeDrOiD V2.2 until I came across the new senseHD ROMs for the HTC Desire and this is where the problems started. In short, I tried to upgrade to the SenseHD ROM and in the process wiped my SD and phone memory. the device can still boot into recovery but it gets the following message when trying to access the SD;
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)
(Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /sdcard
The card is 2GB and reads fine on my windows machine. I've tried formatting and placing ETX3 and ETX2 partitions, I've also tried just copying all the old data that was on the SD before I started playing but the device just hangs with a black screen reading "android". The trouble is that all the solutions I have come across for similar problems are solved from "inside" the ROM either through ROM manager or by changing settings. Obviously these are not options for me.
I would like to install the senseHD ROM (RCMixHD v0.11) (or anything at this point) so please could you help to fix this and have a working phone again.
please please please help out if you can, I'll be eternally grateful for any advice.
many thanks in advance!
SOLUTION
I managed to fix it in the end. I got a hold of another SD card from a friend, put a ROM on it and booted up the phone. Made sure the phone could boot up without the borrowed SD card. Then I took the original SD card and deleted all the partitions (DID NOT FORMAT) in windows using (MiniTool Partition Wizard) placed it back in the phone and booted up using the ROM that had just been installed.
In the phone settings go to Phone and SD storage, mount the SD card (don know why it manages to mount here) and then format it.
Now the SD card is fixed!
You could try repartitioning the sdcard from recovery.
good luck.
I had the same problem. I needed to update my version of Clockwork Recovery. I used the ROM Manager to install the latest version. Now its working for me.

I'm also in the same boat and the fastboot command to re-enable the SD card didn't work for me.
Now I'm not moaning about CyanogenMod here, I'm just trying to understand how I can fix the issue.
Basically, I had CyanogenMod 7 RC2 on my Desire Z. That was it.
Eventually I saw through ROM Manager that the full release of 7 was out so I downloaded, took a backup, wiped everything and did a fresh install of the new ROM.
It installed fine, but none of my apps that needed root access were getting it.
So I booted into recovery, restored my backup, root was back.
I then installed 7.0 over my RC2. That worked fine, but again root was gone.
At this point, my phone started damaging SD cards.
It suddenly started saying that my 8GB card that came with the phone was damaged. I tried to fix it on the phone, but it just said 'Checking card' and then giving up.
Putting it in an old MP3 player, it is not detected at all.
Putting it in a card reader, the card is unreadable and when I try to format it Windows says the card is 'read only' (this is not due to the reader).
I put a functional 2gb card I had lying around into my Desire Z and it broke it in the exact same way.
My question to you guys is - what could be causing this and how do I fix it because I have a 16gb card coming and I'm obviously cautious of putting it in the phone.
Also, how would I go about flashing the new Cyanogenmod 7.02 ROM if my phone keeps breaking SD cards I put into it?
This error can be because when ever you install a CyanogenMod ROM over another, It leaves files your new ROM think is useful such as data that the new ROM doesn't support. It is damaging your SD Card because it keeps attempting to fix the error but is making it worst by trying to remove system files. Your best bet is to try another ROM and see if it does the same thing and report it to CyanogenMod Developer Team if it only does this to CyanogenMod ROMs otherwise it would be just a virus on your SD Card feeding off of personal data. If it is only CyanogenMod ROMs, we will adress this issue ASAP. Hope I helped
Thank you VS4, you are indeed helpful
I've since heard some people have managed to fix their SD cards by formatting them in ClockworkMod but I can't even mount it first in order to do this! Is my card truly dead?
Also, do you think the reason that CM7.0 had no root (even when it was a clean install) was due to me not 'fixing permissions'?
Thanks
Just a note to say that I've managed to fix it!
Despite being unable to 'mount sdcard' in clockworkmod, I found I was able to activate USB Storage and through this I was able to format the card (Windows 7 was previously saying that the same card was 'read only' in a multitude of card readers).
I hope this helps any poor chap with the same problem.
I had this exact same problem, munched 2 of my 8GB cards, and had a 16 on the way. I somehow fixed it before the 16 came and I've never had the issue since, glad to see an explanation of it.
Thanks, nofixio!
I had the same problem on my Samsung Fascinate with CM7. It ate my 16GB SD card to the point where the phone wouldn't recognize it, CWM wouldn't mount it, and it wouldn't show up on my computer in multiple SD readers.
I wasn't quite clear what you were suggesting when you said you were able to "activate USB Storage." I thought maybe you meant within CWM. That didn't work for me, but I was able to boot the phone up with the problem SD card in it and turn on USB storage as normal. Suddenly my computer could not only see the SD card, it could see all the files that were on it before it died! I backed everything up, formatted the card in Windows, and everything's good now. Thanks for the tip!

I'm not sure why you would ask this in such an old thread but... Try just plugging it in to your computer maybe? What ROM are you on?

im running cm7 ... it wont read from computer. i tried several micro sd card readers. it just tells me it cant format. its just like what was mentioned before.
Weird, I've never had any problems with Cyanogen 7 roms. I've flashed one over another and had no issues at all, Mayb because I use SuperWipe before hand? Or maybe its a certain sd card issue???
Running Desire Z and Andromadus Beta 11 I had similar problem after I had applied remote wipe from Exchange (wanted to see if it works). Remote wipe worked: it destroyed contents of SD card and erased phone back to factory settings. After wipe mounting SD card failed and Andromadus seemed to be unable to format the card.
Solution: Booted phone to Clockwork recovery and applied advanced -> Partition SD Card.
Posted this on this thread since it came first when searching solution.

Go into Recovery (Clockwork), go to mounts and storage, then scroll down and it should say mount USB storage.
I just flashed Business Gingersense 3.5 last night. Everything looks great on this ROM, but my phone doesn't think my SD card is present. I can't access pictures, audio, files, etc on the SD card. Is there something I need to do to get this ROM to see my SD card? I've reflashed a few times, removed and reinserted SD card, etc.
Thanks,
Alan
Is your SD card in FAT32 format? You could try copying everything from your SD card to your PC and reformat it. Then copy everything back on to it.
BTW, I'm not sure if it matters, but I'm coming from cyanogenmod 7.0 to Business GingerSense 3.5. The phone recognizes the card just fine when I reflash back to cyanogenmod 7.0...
I can give that a shot. Just curious - does cyanogenmod require a different format than gingersense? Perplexed as to why it is there w/ cyanogenmod.
I just checked the properties on my SD card and it IS in fact in FAT32 format. Any other suggestions?
Fad this prob before cm7 was ext4 ur new rom is most likely ext3 reformat or partition in recovery
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
As long as it is in FAT32 it should work. I know that files on SD cards over time become corrupt from files being deleted and over written. Cyanogenmod is dependent on the SD card so reformatting it could possibly solve your issue.
Make sure you are on 1.5 of the ROM. You should not be having this problem unless you installed a mod that broke it or it was a bad install.
I'm thinking the latter... I flashed the ROM a few times with the same result. I also flashed McTwist Sense 2.1/3.0 and had the same results. Flashed back to cyanogenmod 7.0 and everything is fine again. Have any ideas of what to look for? Mind you, I'm a newb so you might have to spell things out for me.
Thanks again - really hoping to try out your ROM.

I just bought a 64GB micro sdxc card..brand new....when I try to do ANYTHING in the lates 6.02.03 recovery, I get this error....Everything worked before I put this card in...Windows CAN access it with phone plugged in etc. I formatted it from exfat to fat 32 using Easeus Partition manager, flashed CWM and same error...so I flashed CWM to the latest (6.02.03) and same problem. I am running Wicked Rom, and have had no probs until the card was replaced, and so I did some Google searches that lead me down the path of formatting...which I had already done..but nothing...Can anyone throw me a bone here?...Im not sure what else it could be...One post said maybe the rom didnt support it?...but to me that doesnt mke sense..Thanks in Advance...Larry..P.S..I also formatted it with the option in settings on the phone which it worked fine etc...but same thing...maybe the CWM doesnt support it?..if so...maybe a link to an older one?...Im almost sure that I had the same version on my 32G card as well..

Surely someone has a 64 gb card that is functioning for these purposes?

I had similar issue before but I got it solved by formatting to FAT32 using this program: http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm
The issue I had was not because the ROM didn't support it, it was the kernel that didn't support it. I don't know if you're having similar issue or not, but if you're willing to experiment, you might try that if your ROM didn't have the stock kernel in it.
Good luck
Works in other phones?
Does it work in another phone?
I have yet to run into this one.
I had to odin my epic.
When it was time to flash from my sd card, cwm didn't see it???
I tried mounting it, but it says there's nothing to mount.
When I boot up into stock, it see's it no problem......soooo now I have a sort of not really rooted phone.....LOL
anyone have any ideas on this....I tried formatting the card in the phone also....
and its the same card I've been using...
OK......I still don't know what caused it......however, CWM has a partitioning tool, no I never noticed it before, so I went there, repartitioned my sd card.....and now my phone sees it
Same gd problem, not terribly happy with reformat, but it's worth a shot.
