Try copying everything onto your pc and then format the sd. Then move everything back onto it. Worth a shot.

if windows dosnt see it and dosnt tell you it needs to fix errors you have a bad sd card my freind

Wrong forum i'd imagine, either way
Mount it from recovery, and on a win 7 machine (probably others but i dont know) you want to repair the disk without formatting it. This fixed it for me when i had similar trouble.

thanks i will give it a shot
This usually happens to me if I unplug the phone from the computer while in usb mode without using the eject disk feature in Windows 1st. Others have told me a few ways to fix it. The 1 above should work but you can also remove the card from the phone and connect it directly to phone and use check disk. Normally all I have to do is boot into RA recovery and toggle usb, wait a few seconds and then toggle back.
I had the same issue today. I just said fugg it and usked caulkins format all and then did the normal wipes and then flashed my rom again. I already had my apps backed up so it only took a bit to set the phone up. Weird thing is that I could still access SD card via disk drive on the phon.e The evo just couldnt see it thru the phone.

[Q] Help with SD card prob...

Ok, so I have the stock SD card and lately it's been acting up. I went from Vaelpak to CM7RC2 and it took me a while to get the phone to actually recognize the card... Anytime I use a Sense ROM I never have problems with the card being read/recognized by the phone or my PC
So I'm back on RC2 and the phone reads the card just fine but the computer doesnt recognize it "kinda"..
When I plug the phone in via USB to the PC it usually pops up with a window with several options on how to view the contents of the SD card... No such window pops up and the SD card doesnt register in the Drive slot.. it just doesnt show up at all, like there's nothing in that Drive...
But, I can pull up Windows Media Player and look at some of the files on the SD card... So I'm confused, the computer can see some of the information but I can't read the whole thing...
I've tried USB debuggin on/off, mounting as disk drive and not, mounting/unmounting SD card, etc...
Any ideas? -- should I just get a new card or is there something else I can try?
You can copy the contents to the pc, then reformat it, then copy back...

Deleting the LOST_DIR folder has been known to solve the problem with CM7 and SD cards. Having said that, you need to be aware of the recent growing numbers of people boinking their EVOs. All of them were using CM7 and everything had been working as it should. All of a sudden, their device rebooted and have not been able to get into theory homescreen or into recovery. Read the posts the last few days and you will find many instances. I'm just alerting you to what has been happening. That's all so be careful.

I dont guess I explained myself very good... I can't copy anything to the PC if the PC wont recognize that there's a card there.. The PC just sits there and I've looked all over the place but the PC doesnt think there's anything put into the drive

I hadn't seen anything about the "boinking"... can you direct me to a thread? The CM7 RC2 thread or what?.. Not even knowing about those instances I was already thinkin about abandoning CM for now.. I've tried CM6 and several versions of CM7 but there's always something that just doesnt work right.. GPS, the SD card, facebook syncing, etc.. Looking at your Sig I'm thinkin I might try Warm again, it's been a while but I liked it alot... Thanks for the heads up

Yeah, that sucks... I was already about to give up on CM7 for now and that's just enough to push me back to Sense.. thanks
WOW! I'm glad I went back to Sense when I did.
Bricking my phone would end me!

[Q] rooting gone wrong?

so i think i need help.. i recently rooted my t989 s 2 and everything went well till last night. when i got up this morning all of a sudden my phone said blank sd or unsupported file system. now when i click on my sd card it says format but it wont let me.. what do i do?
Doubt that has anything to do with rooting. Maybe a bad SD card, put it in your PC and see if it reads it. If it can't, its shot.

[Q] No external storage available

Hey Guys,
Earlier today I made a mistake. I'm on 4.2.1 Xylon. I accidentally flashed the wrong kernel (francos) onto my phone. I flashed one for 4.1.2.
After noticing my mistake, I had to use the toolkit to flash on the proper 4.2.1 kernel img as the phone would not turn on.
This worked and my phone turned on and looked ok.
However when I tried to access the gallery, play store, camera, they all didn't work. When I load the gallery, I get error messages saying 'No external storage available'. After seeing this, I went and plugged in my phone to the pc and had a look. The computer couldn't even read the internal memory.
After this I tried formatting the virtual SD card and pretty much reformatted the phone back to it's original state. When that was done, I loaded it up to check if it fixed the memory issues, but they were still there!
Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts on how this can be resolved? This is really annoying!
Thank you so much.
Kevin A.

[Q] New Rom-wont recognize SD card

Hey I just recently flashed to the latest Solar Flare v.5. My phone loaded it fine and booted up equally smooth however once it gets through the setup it begins saying "SD card safe to remove". I have tried remountig in settings however it just unmounts itself again. I've redownloaded the ROM and reflashed twice. Also I have reformatted my SD card in recovery and upgraded from ext2 to ext3. Any idea whats causing this? Ive had root for a few years now however I'm still an amateur when it comes to this stuff

Ok,try shutting off your phone,take your sd card out and then replace it,it could be that maybe you could have bumped your phone and jolted the sd card.Try that and see what happens,if it doesnt work,we will try something different.

That was another thing I had tried last night. It is still doing it. Every thing else on the ROM seems to work fine. It just keeps unmounting the card

Okay nevermind for now. I decided I was going to switch to new recovery and try that. But I hit the wrong button and ended up just rebooting for like the 10th time and it works for now. If the problem pops up again I'll probably try the new recovery and see if it helps.
Thanks though!
