Hi,
I've been using CM9 on my Desire GSM SLCD for a few months now and everything worked fine.
Today I restarted my phone and now I always get stuck on the CM9 Bootscreen.
After trying a few times i thought I would just reflash the thing and that would be that. Now the problem is that i get an error saying that my sd card cannot be mounted. Now this is quite an issue because if my sd-card can't be mounted I can't flash anything.
Now I've been googling for about 2 hours, and I've been trying everything I've found but I can't seem to get lucky.
Data:
I'm using Revolutionary as Recovery.
S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
RADIO-5-09-05-30_2
Can anyone plz help me ? It would be much appreciated.
Have you got a USB microSD card reader?
see if you can mount the SD card on windows but preferrably linux or mac

Unfortunately I don't have anything like that. I'll try to get my hands on one.
//edit:
I don't know how but suddenly my phone is booting like I have just reflashed the rom. No settings no nothing is left. It's also using a different boot-screen...I have no idea how that happend.
It's now telling me that the sd-card is damages so I guess that's the problem.

ok so was running miui on a rooted incredible i accidently formatted my sd card and now my phone hangs on the HTC screen. i can get into recovery but whenever i try to flash a rom it says my sd card wont mount. any help is greatly appreciated.
I hear this can happen if the SD card is not formatted as FAT 32
Sent from my Incredible
i checked and it is formatted to fat 32, i have tried downloading a few other zips to see if it will let me flash any of them and i keep getting installation aborted errors im stumped i have been looking at forums for hours and havent found anything
Format your card again, I use a utility from the SD card association

Hi all...
I have tried searching and tried all the possible solutions that have come up so wondering if anyone can help..
My DHD is rooted and running Synergy RC2, I've just got it back from repair after having to get a new screen put on. Before having it repaired the SD card was working fine, whilst it was away I was using a Blackberry, I had formatted the SD... I got the phone back on Saturday put the memory card in and it didn't recognise it at all.
At first I thought it was a hardware issue that could have occured whilst it was being repaired, but when the phone is in HBOOT it searches the sd card for PD98IMG... I put PD98IMG onto the sd card and it finds this and parses the file but nothing else happens. Clockwork mod cannot find the SD card nor can the system...
I've tried using fast boot and running 'fastboot oem qxdm 0' but it doesnt help me.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? It's driving me insane!
Thanks in advance!
Have you tried formatting it again? Fat32, and maybe can try checking for bad sectors with scan disk.
Sorry I should have said this in the original post..
I have tried formatting it again and I have tried a number of different cards...
It's just confusing me how it works in the boot loader but no where else.
Strange problem with this desire, I can access the SD card from recovery with stuff like USB-MS and flashing from SD but with stock it says the SD card isn't recognized (the options in Settings are all grayed out). With a rom that has Apps2SD like InsertCoin where some of the main apps are installed to the card it just leaves me with a blank screen on boot with the background/top bar still there.
Pretty strange desire really, when I first looked at it the problem I mentioned above was happening (it was originally on InsertCoin, worked for around 4 months before this started) so I reflashed it to stock and then had it returned to me with the owner saying that their SD was broken.
If anyone knows how to fix this it would be much appreciated as I'm as stuck as a brick wall right now :/
Explain your problem in no more than 2 sentences that actually make sense and I may be able to help you out.
Add on information such as
ROM you are/were using
Can you boot
Does PC recognise phone
Hboot (S-ON/ S-OFF)
Have you tried with another SD ? Maybe it is the SD thats broken ?

Sorry, let me dumb it down a bit:
In Amon Ra recovery it sees the SD card fine and lets me use it over USB fine too but when I boot up into a ROM it doesn't seem to find it.
Using InsertCoin/stock ROM and neither recognize it, it boots up fine and the PC can see the phone too, but since it can't mount the SD card I can't use disk drive mode :/ It's using S-OFF hboot too.

The SD is fine, it works in recovery and in my own desire but I've tried another SD card to be sure and still nothing
hmm ok try to reformat the SD card using recovery and tell me if it works
I've had/got a similar problem. I believe it's a problem with the contacts between the sd card and the 'holder' for the sd card.
Try removing the back of your phone, removing the sd card, pushing down on the metal 'holder', replacing the sd card, and rebooting.
This works for me for anything between 1 minute and a couple of days before the problem starts again.
I have no idea why the card is still accessible in recovery. If the above had no effect then please ignore!
The only solution, and it's really not useful, is to remove the sd card. I've returned my phone for repair and nothing got replaced (my guess is because the sd card is still accessible on recovery)
EDIT: No longer convinced it's the contacts as whenever my phone 'freezes' if I reboot into recovery the sd card is always accessible.
Now think it's to do with the file system/structure on the sd card becoming corrupt.
If I format the sd card as one single fat32 and keep ALL apps on the phone then I have no problems.
Hi,
I was using Mildwild 7 and everything was great. Now my Desire will not read my SD card. I tried another and it will not read that either. I bought a new one and tried it but no luck. If I leave the phone until the screen blacks out then I cannot use the phone. I just tried this with the original SD card again and when the phone blacks out I can get it to work again...but the SD card is still not there.
Cannot mount SD Card
Cannot mount it in recovery.
Cannot flash new ROM without SD card to see if that helps.
How can I fix this?
Please help.
There are 2 posibilities.
You have a usb brick, and you should install 4ext recovery and use the "usb unbrick" option.
The phone's sd-card reader is broken. You should take it to a service.

How do I know if I have a USB Brick? My USB to computer works fine. I tried a load of stuff in ADB and Bootloader and nothing worked. I blew on it to get any dust out several times. It just went all of a sudden. The last thing I remember doing was reading a happy easter picture message from Viber. Could that have done something?
Try flashing the 2.3 RUU from the htcdev site. If the sd-card still doesn't work, then it's a hardware problem.

Hey everyone,
I got an htc desire from a friend which get's during booting in a withe screen with the htc logo.
The device is S-OFF and running 6.93.1002 HBOOT
I can still access the ext4recovery but when i starts it says "error mounting your sdcard" nevertheless i tried to install from sd card which of course did not work.
I read something about a usb brick in connection with the sdcard error. The solution started with connecting the phone via adb which i cant get to work. I installed the fastboot driver manually but the adb shell still says device not found.
Could someone pleas give an advice how to go on or which tutorial i should read to progress.
thx

4ext recovery has a "USB unbrick" option in the "Advanced" submenu. Try it. If it still doesn't work, try another sd-card.

I tried it but it still dosen't work. I don't have an other sd card at the moment but it works fine with my card reader an my Samsung Galaxy Note.
Could the card still be the problem?
And for some reason the phone gets quite hot when it just stays in ext4 recovery or bootloader.

It gets hot, eh?
Take the battery out, put the phone in the freezer for 10 minutes, then try to boot. If this works, then your phone is overheating, which is caused by a malfunctioning motherboard.
But that still wouldn't explain the sd-card problems. What brand & class is your sd-card?

It's an 2GB Kingston Micro SD.
I'll try to reproduce the heating i'm not jet sure if it happens every time.
Get yourself a new sd card with a higher class. Should fix your issues.
