Do you have a micro sd card adapter for your computer? (A chip like thing or usb like this that you can put your sd card into so that your computer can read it.) If so, put it into the computer and if it doesn't read it you may have to format it. What all is on there that you want kept? Maybe I can help save a few things, because formatting requires deleting everything.
Devices:
EvoShift 4g: Cm7 or Jellybean 4.1!

Evo 4g: Gonna buy in near future!

Take you SD card and put it in your computer, download a trial of Data Recovery Wizard and see if it can recover your files

If you're having issues mounting on multiple devices, you probably have a dead card.
Have you noticed any oddities for your SD storage in the past? (Perhaps missing or corrupt files, or maybe even your phone freezing once in a while when accessing files on the SD card)
As Whiplashh said, try the card using an external USB adapter with your computer. If it doesn't work there either, you probably have a dead card. Even if it does work there, I would highly recommend transferring everything off of it, and recreating the file system. I had a similar problem with my microSD card in the past, and I was only able to resurrect it twice before it completely died...

So i have no idea how it happened but my sd card went crazy on me. I was just using my phone and then I clicked on an app that i had on my sd card and said that it couldnt be found, then it said that i had a blank sd card and that it needed to be formatted. I tried everything; pulling the battery, mounting, remounting, putting it in and out, tried to mount in recovery, tried to format in recovery...... NOTHING WORKED! So then i tried to plug it in on my computer (windows 7) and it wouldnt mount, so i couldnt format it.... Is there ANYTHING I can do!?!?!!?!? someone please help me cause it is a 16gb sd card and all i have left is a 2gb one... HA that wont work for me. Any help is appreciated!!

Pull sd out of phone and use a card reader to see if it can be read from the pc. If you can read it with the pc, copy all your files to the pc and then format the sd fat32. Once formated put the files back on the sd and put it back in the phone and see if it works then.

How old is it? Sometimes they just go out, especially with heavy use.

If ur phone has a recovery mount usn on phone recovery. Then scan the card with a data recovery tool. Its worked for me in the past

have you ever pulled the SD card out of a device before Unmounted it? Sounds like the the chip inside is dead. There are some places that you can take it to and they can pull the info off of it. its not cheap but they do exist. It all depends on if you really want the info off of it or not.
Have you tried "SD Card Tester" from the Market, Or H2testw 1.4 for the PC?

Hi, so recently my friend gave me his G2 since he just upgraded to the GS3. I wanted to use this for a few months, then buy a new phone myself, but I've run into a problem. I put my 32 GB Transcend class 4 SD card in, and it tells me "Unsupported filesystem, card must be formatted". I didn't want to have to format it, so I took the SD out and put it in my Windows 7 computer, and it tells me I must format it. I didn't want to, but I figured it was my only option, so I tried. The formatting failed, so I tried formatting it with both the G2 and my dumbphone, a Samsung Seek. Neither works. I then tried a 1 GB spare card I had, and same thing happens. It worked just fine with the SD card my friend used in it, so what is wrong with mine? Both cards had worked fine in other devices, specifically an HD2, Droid 1, and Samsung Seek. Can I salvage the cards? Will I be able to use an SD with this phone? Thanks for any guidance.
I'm not expert here, but such behaviour is not standard. If you are using standard ROM without any strange software installed then I would say it's some Hardware failure.
If you have custom recovery, try maybe repartition card in recovery and format in FAT.

It's on the stock ROM from Tmobile, never rooted. I'll try using my sister's phone (rooted w/ custom recovery) to format the card and hopefully save it.
Alright let us know how it goes? Try formatting it in Ubuntu using gparted

Well, not everyone have linux you can try as well on windows gparted software. Nice and simple. And works good.

I had a similar problem on a warranty replacement G2 I got. I found out that the circuitry of the SD card is built into the case of the SD itself. So, if you damage the outside plastic of the SD card, you have the chance of actually ruining the SD card. The G2 I got had a very finicky SD holder and I wound up scratching/bending/warping/"or something" when trying to insert and lock down the card into the phone. All you could see was a little scratch on the SD card but the manufacturer said the card was toast. I think I went through 2 cards on this phone before I returned it due to the misalignment of the card holder/slot in the G2 itself. Now, I'm a lot more careful about getting everything to align instead of just plopping it in.
Alright basically it was working fine intill I deleted some stuff on my SD card external. I flash between high on android with SD swapped with external apps 2 SD. It basically doesn't work on any cyan based rom it says SD card not installed. But yea it reads it and the downloaded camera s work my second third month flashing I try to make wise chooses but if anyone has suggestions help me out I tried restores different cm ROMs don't know and it takes panorama

Hm. if im not wrong im pretty sure that His rom converts it to a different format... so put ur sd card stuff in ur internal storage or your computer and then insert your sd card go to settings and storage it should say mount sd card and it should connect to it so the phone can understand it. theres an option to format the sd card i recommend just doing that since your data from ur sd is saved somewhere else and tada! you formated your micro sd card
Yeah I think. That might. Work because I just got a new 32 gig sd card and with that apps tosd hack I formatted it because it is kinda annoying that all that data goes to a fake internal with the nice hack but everything is on card ill just start fresh without format like with the old card thanks it worked fine before I formatted the card on high on androud rom great rom for the moment looking for a good touchwiz rom.

I have a R800a with unlocked bootloader. I was using CM 7.2 until a friend pointed out an update that made jellybean roms more atractive, so I went for CDan's Turbo JB kernel and CM 10. Then I realized CM 10 could not recognize my sdcard, so I rolled back to CM 7.2. Since then, my card slot does not "work" properly, I've tried exchanging several times, even went back to stock ROM. Even CWM recovery gives an error when trying to mount sdcard. Anyone can help?

As a matter of fact I did, but to no avail. I've also fastboot a recovery image, but it isn't able to mount my SD card. Using other SD cards, and reformatting isn't useful either.
Format your sd card. I know that sucks to hear. You should still be able to mount to pc through cwm if you don't have a memory card slot.

I had issues where some SD will not get recognized by CWM. Use a different SD card.

I've tried those things, but still can't mount the SD card. The SD I'm currently using is recognized by my PC with no problems, and all others I've tested on my phone are working too, just not on my Play.
well i flashed a kernel and didnt like it so i went into recovery and began flashing my nandroid backup. from there it was all going fine but stopped in the middle and said, oops something went wrong. after that i tried to get back into my sd to see if i had another backup. i then realized that my sd card was unmounted and i tried to mount it but to no avail. this is where i began to freak out because everything was wiped and the backup didnt work and i couldnt boot to anything except the bootloader and recovery. i finally got adb working and was able to flash cm9 directly to the phone so i have my phone working again YAY! so phone isnt brickd, maybe just sd card.
so is there anyway to try and recover my sd card to get my stuff back? i havent tried to format it yet because i want my pictures and all that :/ still need to get a card reader and try it in a pc
Captain Throwback has a thread about fixing the SD mount on the EVO if that is the problem. Have you tried a different card or tried your card in a different phone?

i havent had a chance to do either of those but i tried using the adb fastboot commands to makes the sd card recognized and mount again but it didnt work. gotta find another sd card or something or a card reader. any suggestions other than that?
Sorry but if the captain's thread didn't fix it than your card is most likely bad. I would try it in another device before trying to format it just in case. Maybe someone else will chime in with some other ideas.

Don't format it until you try it in a card reader. There's a chance the card is corrupted, but I've also had cards not read on my phone, at all, then pop it in a card reader, and Windows reads it without a problem
yeh i will definitely do that thanks. im really hoping it just glitched out and my phone isnt reading it and can save everything. no idea how it happened still. just restoring a nandroid backup and it said there was an error then no sd card :/
so got a card reader and popped it into the pc and it was all there now formatting the card to exFAT and going to see if it works
so its still saying there is no sd card... i know it works because it read on the computer fine. any ideas of why its not showing up in recovery or on my phone? and ideas how to fix?
I don't think the Evo can read exFAT. I'd go with FAT32.
