Have you formatted the sdcard to fat32?
sent from my android powered beast!
yes i have...also it was already in fat32!!hmmm..i did make a partition of 1gb ext2 for link2sd..but now am not able to view in in the partition manager......now i have only around 6gb for use...but that doesnt matter..i just want my card to be recognized in my phone!!
Some class 4 cards are not recognised. What class is yours?
i dont know...how do i find class f the card..its sandisk card that i bought..i m from india..also initially the card was working fine..after i made the partition this morning it stopped working...also card is mounting in clockwork mod recovery without any errors...so i guess theres no problem with the card..
P.S--if i revert back to non rooted stock HTC, will this be fine??

No Luck For Me
I believe it may just be a hardware issue I am having. But maybe someone can point me out to something helpful.
I put the card in, it is not recognized, by either the phone, or by CWM
With the phone on, and in 'Settings' -> 'SD & Phone Storage', the card does not appear. I slowly pull the card out, and 'Mount SD' & 'Erase SD Card' both go from unavailable (greyed out), to full on available and White for a split second. After that nothing...
It does this with 3 different cards. an 8G Class 4, a 2G Class 10, and a 2G Class 4
I've contacted HTC about it, but who knows when they'll get back to me. Anyone here know of a solution?
Try formatting the sdcard or reset phone.

Sorry. Tried that too. Multiple times
---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ----------
It's as if the contacts inside the phone are screwed up. Like I said, when I pull the card out of the phone, while in the settings, it recognizes it on the way out for a split second.
I've been trying for the last half-hour to try to get it right to that point where it flashes the 'mount' to white... but I must just have goofy thumbs, because I can't quite get it...
Following you I have lost all my datas from SD card

Same problem I am facing. It is working fine with Minicm10 but not in Minicm9. Following you I have lost all my datas from SD card.Again I have inserted another card but same problem. Please anyone help...
I HAD THIS PROBLEM once.... i put my card in another phone(not a smartphone, nokia 2730...) and formatted it... after that my card starts working on my phone... try that...
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.
I really really need your help guys I think I bricked my friend's fone -- seeing how epic this ICS Pureness rom is I tried installing it onto his fone -- everything went well -- but the rom won't detect his sd card -- I can use it via cwm -- I did all the flashing through it but still it won't work.
I tried mounting it through the rom -- settings > storage -- there the mount sd card button has no effect and says insert memory card -- then i went into cwm and did unmount /sdcard -- then mount /sdcard -- still it wouldn't show up..
I then tried to format it using windows it formatted alright but still it wont detect !!
then I did this -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949372 -- still won't work

well how did you fix it ?
When creating a partition use CWM or put the card in a reader, trying while the card is in the Phone and connected to the PC will give issues.

Use the Phones option instead, I think that's what I did, but if the Phone isn't reading it then not too sure what to do next.

I tried using the mount and storage > format /sdcard option from CWM as well -- it completed successfully -- but did not work
the sdcard is detected by CWM as I installed the rom and mods through that -- only that once the rom and everything is installed and when I boot into it -- I don't see the sdcard -- says Mount SDcard under -- settings > storage -- and the button is greyed out !!
will deleting all partitions and creating new ones have any effect on it using disk manager in windows ?
ohh and another thing -- when the SDcard is replaced with another one it works on the fone !!
Deleting the partitions is worth a try, I resolved my issue before without a card reader but can't recall exactly what I did, and I got the issue by trying to create one with the Phone connected so just keep trying.

Edit: Did you format sd on fat32 file system?

yes I did try another sd card -- it worked -- haven't tried deleting the partitions and starting fresh -- that will be the first thing I try tomorrow!
will do it via windows disk management -- using a card reader.

and installed rom again !!

Solution
Set you SD card partition as Active!
Hello, I am on an HTC One V running PACman ROM 15.3, with the kernel JmzPrimoC+.
I started having this problem a couple weeks ago. It would randomly unmount my SD card saying 'SD card unexpectedly removed'.
This started to happen more and more often until it would say that as soon as I put the SD card in.
I did a factory reset, which helped for about 5 minutes before it started happening again. Now, more recently, it started saying 'Damaged SD card. SD card is damaged. Try reformatting it.'
I put it in my computer (which doesn't show anything wrong with it), and did a full format. It didn't help at all.
This problem is happening with both my regularly used SD card (SanDisk Ultra® microSDHC™ UHS-I 32 GB (the red and grey one)), and my ordinary SD card (8 GB class 4 Kingston).
I don't think this can be a hardware problem because when I boot to recovery, TWRP recognizes it perfectly.
But I don't either see how its a software problem, because a factory reset should have helped...
Please help me, any help will be greatly appreciated.
Maybe its a bug in the rom?
Sent from my HTC One V using xda app-developers app
Hhmmm...
Good idea. What other ROMs work with JmzPrimoC+ kernel? AOKP?
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
OK, update, now TWRP won't read the card! Either card!
Now I'm getting really nervous...
Does this mean it must be hardware?
Is there ANYTHING I can do now?
Please help!
Wow, I screwed up really bad.
I was gonna use TWRP to flash a new rom, so I did a factory reset, and then started flashing the rom.
But in middle of flashing the rom it was interrupted. So I rebooted, rereset, and then I realized... it's not reading my card.
I can boot to bootloader and recovery, but that's it. No OS. I'm screwed.
Is there ANYTHING I can do?
Is it possible to flash a rom over USB? Or SOMEHOW get my card working again?
Just enter recovery and use adb sideload to flash a ROM.

But I need an SD card in order to use ADB sideload!
It fails every time because
Code:
E:Unable to mount /sdcard
Is there ANY way to do this without an SD card?
OK, I was able to do it following this guide.
I flashed the latest version of PACman. Still rejecting my SD card though.
I guess it's a hardware issue. Too bad my warranty is void from bootloader unlock :\
Try to partition SD Card in recovery
I am facing same issue and I came across this thread while looking for solution. Here is what I tried. That resolved issue for five minutes and then damn! same issue again but someone can find possible fix using the info here.
HTC One V rooted, currently running MIUI 3.1.2 with JB 4.1.2
Sandisk 8 GB SD Card.
Firmware CWM Recovery
I was facing same issue even before I rooted my phone while Original HTC ICS 4.0 Firmware was installed. MY observation is the problem starts few months after you start using SD Card. (Insert a new SD card in your phone, it will work fine for days / months and then will start giving same error.
While I tried thousand time to remove SD card, clean slot, clean card and reinsert, it did not work. May be worked just once for few seconds. When I tried to connect phone to PC and browse SD card contents, the card was not detected.
Booted to recovery, tried to format card, not detected. Tried to mount SD card, not detected. Then tried to partition SD card in Advanced options in recovery. The available options are 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1024MB, 2048MB and 4096MB. Since my SD card is 8 GB, chose the largest option. Now got an option to choose SWAP partition size. Chose 256 MB. Next chose option fix permissions, you have to wait until you see message permissions fixed message on screen.
Now rebooted phone, and voila! It worked!! SD card with 3.94GB memory is detected. But what happened to my rest of 4 GB?
Tried many apps to manage SD card from Play store. Using an app called APart, was able to delete partitions on SD card and create new ones. It worked for few minutes and then again I got SD card unexpectedly removed message.
Does this info makes any sense? I am not a developer and do not know much into phones but someone who know might be able to help. Buying a new SD card is not an option here because its going to work temporarily.

Yes, tried formatting SD Card using computer. Works fine when connected using adapter. Not detected when phone is connected to computer.
I just installed the CM10.2 and am finding it difficult to work with the external sd card.
The sd card shows up on storage and I can mount and unmount it without issues.
The card will not be available unless an app is rooted.
I cannot use it with CoolReader which I used to do when I had the stock ROM.
CoolReader will only show the internal card.
File Manager will also show the internal one only unless root is enabled for it.
I did format the card through recovery as well.
Is it not possible to use the sd card without root privileges?
I had thought by installing a custom ROM I would gain more capability but I seem to have lost here.
Sounds like either an issue reading the card or a broken symlink. What kind of card is it? Try formatting it as fat32 on a computer.

It's a generic 16gb card class4.
I formatted it from recovery which I understand does fat32.
As soon as I revert back to stock i am able to use with all apps without a problem.
Try another Rom, one built from CM and see if it works. And be aware android devices tend to be really finicky when it comes to sd cards. Sometimes you have to format on the device, but sometimes it works better if you do so on a pc. I still say it's worth a try. Then if you still have the same problem, you might consider searching and asking in the Rom thread.
