sd card not detected on phone or pc

Hey guys,
A friend of mine gave me his desire to root and flash a rom, while I was partitioning the SD card - everything went well (I used a windows app to create the partitions while the desire was plugged in in USB mode.
All went well until I disconnected it after the process was complete - now the phone nor PC detects the card.
What are my options?
Cheers

You're using a usb card reader on your pc or whilst in your phone (plugged in via cable)?

Using a card reader with the microsd adapter

Use gparted in the reader to see what you can see.

Yup. Try that

OK this is unusual, I managed to boot into recovery and mount the SD and sd-ext without any issue - I even booted into a custom rom I flashed from SD, but I still can't get the phone to detect it when booted.

Like rootSU said, try it with GParted in your pc and see if it can find it. If so, format it all and re-partition it.

OK I managed to get it fixed - seemed like an issue with the partition - I used recovery to mount USB storage (it worked) and I re partitioned it and it is now functioning correctly.
Cheers guys and thanks a lot everyone for their inputs !

What did you repartition with?

I used MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition ! very nifty app !

You're very lucky, its an awful app. I feel so strongly about it, I even put it in my signature (incase you missed it).
I bet its because you used minitool that it broke in the first place.

wow, that is rather fine print haha, I hadn't seen that there - I too have a feeling it broke cause of the app, but it did manage to fix it - hopefully I won't have to go through this again - if I have to I'll use gparted - Lesson Learnt !

I'll make it bigger

Way aye, but I dont want it to take over other things

hi. i've faced the same problem too with my galaxy mini.
but, when i mount usb storage it said that "unable to write to umslunfile (no such file or directory)" . and when i format sd card it said "error mounting sd card, skipping format".
my sd card cant detected by any phone or laptop. cant be formatted or mounted. what to do? please help me. there's so much important things there.

Hi there,
Ive been through the same issue just the other day and after read and try lots of things, i had to do something stupid but has worked for me... If you have a digital camera laying around, put your sd card and camera will do its thing..will prompt you asking if you want the sd to be formated... Thats it sd alive and hoping to receive runny rom in my case
hope this works for more people. Take care. Peace.

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....

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.

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?

[Q] Memory issue

I am having an issue with my epic 4g touch. The phone is confusing the internal memory and the external sd card. So when I download something it ends up going into the internal from music to apps. In the settings/storage it says I have things on my sd card but if I go to it in root explorer, it shows nothing. My problem is that when I flash a new rom and do a nandroid backup, the backup disappears on me. I will put the backup on the sd card but when I go back to it, it's gone. It doesn't show up on the internal either. The last time I flashed a rom I got stuck with no backup. Needless to say I am a little scared to try again. It has done this with two separate sd cards. Please help? I am confused. Does anyone else have this problem?

I have had some similar issues. For me it doesn't acknowledge my external sd card alot of times lately.

me too. I would like to know how to recover data from it if anyone knows.

I've had this issue ever since upgrading to ICS. It will say sd unexpectedly removed, or corrupted sd card a few times per day. Tried a new sd card, and got a replacement phone from T-Mobile..still does it on every Rom I use. Quite annoying. But, I have found that taking out my battery and holding the power button for a few seconds to drain all the juice out seems to bring it back.

It means that the sd card is formatted to something that its not supported by the phone. I had this problem before, save all the data on your computer, make a folder and name it sd backup. then on the phone do a factory format only on the sdcard. or you can do it on recovery, it will format the sdcard too. then move all your stuff back from the computer and you're good to go

Dude I tried NTFS ext4 and fat32

I have this same issue and I run the stock rom. Has happened on 2 different cards now, with the last one making the card appear unformatted. I have to use data recovery software now to get all my stuff back. I'm thinking about getting my phone replaced as it's a couple weeks from 1 year old.

it happened to me again while i was restoring apps after loading a different rom. this time, i put it in a card reader and ran chkdsk /r on it, and all my files reappeared. so i back it up this time. i am not sure why it happens so much.

i had this with one of my sdcard not long ago. i copied all the data from the sdcard to my computer and formatted the sdcard using another phone and put the data back on it and never had an issue since. i probably could have used the s2 to format while i was troubleshooting but it got fixed before i could try.

This happened to mine too. Well sorta, I can see my files, but I can't add or delete stuff off of it when connected to the computer. idk what else to do, maybe buy a new sd card.

If you can save all your files to computer then let the computer format sd card to default fat32 not ntfs. Then move files back to sd card and it should fix the problem. I have done this method several times and it worked for me.

Hack Kit does not mess sdcards, so yours should have been bad before, or maybe the contacts in the device are not ok. Have you tried formatting the sdcard?
That might happen if you improperly unmount it. Have you unmount it from the device, take it off and put it back, choosing to eject it from the menu?

That is really not a good attitude to have here.
Oops, thanked you; definitely on accident.
Format the card. If that doesn't work get a new one. Yours might be corrupted.

I will persist...
So it sounds like you managed to root your phone successfully then using the Ace kit. Do you install a new custom ROM as well or just go back to your original one?
If the Hack kit worked your SD card should work fine as it turns it into a gold card. If the SD card was damaged it should have flagged it up during the Ace Hack kit installation.
Turn off you phone, take the SD card out and clean the contacts. Put it back in and restart the phone and see what happens?
If that doesnt work format your SD card or get a new one. They are pretty cheap these days.

sd card blank or has unsupported filesystem
Hi.
My sd card has stopped working. It shows sd card blank or has unsupported filesystem, I made factory reset, hard reset but still not working. My HTC Desire HD corrupt every sd card that i put inside the whole. How to fix this problem. I'm worry about it because i cannot use the camera or to download any video. SD Card require for all downloads. In the PC shows removable disc but when i want to format it shows "enter the disc".
Thank you in advance

How are you removing your sdcards? Are you dismounting them properly? Try formatting it from the phone instead of the PC.

I already tried everything. From phone cannot format the sd Card. The option is to format it but when i make this option, it wont formatted. Remains only trying but nothing happens. The only thing that I will try is to root the phone.

You need a working sdcard to root the phone. I would advise that you try a new card.
