[Q] Cant mount sd card

So today i rooted my desire, and tried installing the Sense 2.2 HD.
The installation failed and now i cant boot up, get stuck at the white screen with HTC logo. Connected SD card through USB in recovery mode, and formated it multiple times successful into all kinds of formats (fat16, 32, ext2, 3) in both windows and ubuntu.
Now when i try to run the update.zip or any rom file from recovery i get the following error
E:Cant mount /sdcard
(No such file or directory)
or some other problem
Any help would be nice
Moved to Q&A.
Take a look HERE. Hopefully this should sort you out.
I've did a wipe data/factory reset, is it still rooted after that?
Cant get this crap to work. It boots straight into Fastboot usb now. But it wont find the sd card. Its the stock sd with 4 gig. My pc finds it and it works
How do i get my phone to recognize the sd card?
Yes you should still be rooted, a wipe/factory reset won't unroot your handset.
All you need to do is the fastboot command to get your SD card recognised again. If this doesn't help, I'd try a new or different card.
Wow took awhile. Downloaded an RUU and went into fastboot and updated.
All sorted then?

[Q] HTC Desire not recognizing any SD card, neither recognizing any connected cable

Just ran into the weirdest of problems. I had a rooted desire with Latest Clockworkmod Recovery and Villainrom. I saw some roms that required i had AmonRa so i flashed that using unrevoked. I did'nt like amonra's recovery so i used rom manager to flash clockworkmod back. It wouldn't stick permenantly, i.e. on a hard boot it'd revert back to amon ra.
Today i did the same, then asked rom manager to backup the current rom. It rebooted, amonra applied the clockwordmod update... then clockworkmod recovery started.. then started backing up the rom, upon completion it just rebooted without asking and kept on rebooting on the HTC logo, did'nt go ahead from that. I took the battery out and then re inserted it.
What happened next is weird. I user wiped the phone (using amonra) it gave me an error
Formattting SDCARD:.android_secure...
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(no such file or directory)
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format...
Formatting CACHE:...
Skipping format of sd-ext
After this when the rom booted, the phone refused to recognise the sd card, and the charging light wouldn't turn on when i connected a usb cable OR the charger. I tried replacing another sd card that was working on my htc hero and it wasn't recognized either. I tried my orignal HTC Desire SD card (16 gb) in the hero and it showed a 14 gb unformatted partition on linux. when i tried mounting it , it mounted correctly. I immediately copied my data off the sdcard.
Please note that i had a 512 + 32 mb ext4/swap partition besides the rest of the fat32 partition which wasn't recognized in linux. After repartitioning the sd card i tried the sd card in the desire again but it's not working. Right now i can't mount or access any sd card in the desire, nor can i use adb to connect to the desire. I tried unrevoked to patch the clockworkmod recovery again but it doesn't recognise the phone at all. I'm thinking the rom is screwed up and i'm trying to patch another rom again on the phone but i can't since i can't access the sd card.
I'd also like to mention that using the amonra i tried repartitioning the sd card after this whole mess and it did'nt give me any error, so i'm thinking it did get to access the sd card.
Please any help would be appreaciated.
ok i just figured out that it's s-on on my phone now. So now i have a htc desire with amonRA recovery and S-on with Villainrom 1.0 installed on it. It's not showing usb debugging mode when i connect the data cable, nor is it accepting any sd card.
If possible can anyone tell me how i can :
1. Turn S-on without using usb debugging etc ?
2. Use unrevoked some other way
3. Unroot the phone to root it totally over again.
i had this problem the other day.
Check out this thread. worked for me. Read it through first so you know what your going to be doing.

THANKS ! I've finally got the sd card to be read but i'm wondering that post is for the legend, will that work on my desire ? i mean those image files etc ?
Thanks for the tip man, i googled the words (which i couldn't find to express my problem) i.e. bricked usb and found my solution for the desire here http://android.modaco.com/content/h...com/309939/usb-brick-rickrolled-b0rked-fixed/

Unrecognised SD card after using Win Mini Partition Tool

Hi,
I used Mini Partition Tool in Windows (7) to create a 13 gb FAT32 partition (named PADDYSD) and a 1gb Ext 3 partition (named EXT3).
All seemed well, transfered my backed up contents of the SD card to FAT32 partition, all okay, but when I put the SD card into my Desire it does not recongise it, does not recognise anything; and it doesn't give me an option to mount it.
Has anyone got a idea why? It seems out that I can see the files on laptop, the MPT recognises it and indicates the two partitions, but the Desire won't recognise any of it.
I have been struggling with Gpart Live this morning - no matter what I do I can't seem to make either of my machines boot with the live cd I made from the iso (just hangs after choosing boot from CD). So looks like I am stuck with MPT - but if don't work I dunno what to do.
Cheers
had a similar problem, in the end I had to go into cwm recovery, format the card with ext3 partition so that it would get picked up again.
Try going to cwm, mount sd card then connect it to your PC and see if your PC detects the card
I had similar prob.
Solved it in an unusual way,by inserting the Sdcard in my old Nokia 6120 and formated it there and then made a ext3 partition in w7 via Partition Magic 10.1
Edit : Also,AmonRa recovery has a very good Partition system,i flashed it yesterday,and tried it out,worked perfectly
Hi
When you ceated your partition , you must select primary for the two part ( fat32 and ext ) . I used this tool and i never have problem.
( Recorvery CW 2.5.0.7 )
i had the same problem when i still had the stock ROM, but it didnt continue when i flashed it with Oxygen. i think it is because the stock ROM does not support the extra partition

Then run the program u dl'ed,and delete all SDcard partitions,then create a Fat32 (primary) and an Ext3(primary) partition,click Appy/OK should solve your problems.

[Q] Desire Bricked ?

I re-installed Leedroid as i was trying to get apps2sd working on an ext3 fromated sd card and upon reinstalling, it hung at the Telstra Splash screen for about 20 mins. I took the battery out and rebooted into bootloader where it displays that no image can be found on the sd card.
The computer detects the sd card however when i enter recovery mode to install zip from sd card, it displays "can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0.... can't mount /sdcard".
What do i do to completely erase everything and install Leedroid again ?
Backup your SD card, format FAT32 and ext3 then flash the rom again.
I copy+pasted everything to windows earlier when everything was working, but don't have anything on the sd card to back up now. I tried formating to fat32 but the bootloader still says the same thing about the sd card, therefore i can't flash the rom.
Anyone ? i'm out of ideas. I tried a different sd card but the phone still 'cant mount'.
seems you got problem with your partition on the sd card, use you recovery to rebuild you partition or gparted to do so...
googlise gparted live cd or more friendly virualbox or vmplayer to run a complete linux distri.
Did you partition your sd-card on this way:
http://leedroid.com/bravo-wiki/partitioning-your-sd-card-ready-for-a2sd
If not, do it, flash the rom again and all should work.
You could try the sd card enable command?
Code:
fastboot oem enable qxdm 0
Otherwise there is a good guide on USB brick here:
