My device is rooted, s-off and I flashed WildChild 3.3 some days ago.
Problem is my phone suddenly doesn't see my SD card at all. Camera says "Insert SD card", Root Explorer "SD card not found", Link2SD "SD card not present". Even in CWM trying to mount SD card gives back error.
When connected to my PC with a card reader (my card reader doesn't have any switch) in MiniTool Partition Wizard, it mounts as read only. So I just see the contents of the FAT32 partition, I can't perform format. Could it be fried?
I tried another SD card on my phone and it mounted normally, whereas my SD card had exact the same problem on a Galaxy Europa (not mounting at all).
It is a Verbatim 8GB class 4 and it came with no adaptor. It worked fine until now, it also worked the first days with the new ROM (3 partitions, FAT32, ext2, linux swap). I don't have a clue how it became read-only...
Any ideas?
Most likely corrupted. Seeing that your other card works, its a high possibility that its gone corrupt.
Buy a new one or use the other.

I am going for a new micro SD card. Damn, I would prefer spending my money otherwise...
You can try Hp Formatting Tool, it worked for me everytime. It's like a handy charm. :")

Hi guys,
Every now and then my sd-cards stops responding. I have a 8 Gb card with almost 1700 ext3 partition rest on fat 32. phone stops "preparing sd card" and says "SD card mounted read only". Then it doesn't let me "format" the card. I manually put the card into another phone deleted all the files on the SD and formatted it through card reader on windows 7 as fat.
card worked the next day untill i created ext3 partition again. but this time it gave me the option to format the card n took about 20 mintues to do that. I have a Class 2 SD 8Gb.
Any suggestions on that!
Hi can any one help i tried to install the desire hd rom, the instructions suggested partitioning sd card before installing the rom
which i tried to do using Mini tool partition wizard unfortunetly after wiping partition and the creating new partion my sd card would not mount as i wasnt sure if i should have formated the sd card at this point as that option was still available. but the instructions didnt mention wether i should have formated after creating new partition.
So anyway to cut a long story short i switched the phone of instead, hoping that when i restarted it i would be able to mount the sd card. But now i had a new problem my phone now would not detect my sd card altogether
Does any one know how i can make my sd card detectable again or will i need to fork out for a new sd card
Have you tried it in another device, say a PC card reader?
Had the same issue. Everything worked fine after formatting the SD card with Gparted. What I did wrong is that I made 3 EXT4 partitions for Data2SD and the computer didn't recognize the card. Used Recovery to mount the card and Gparted to repartition it. Everything worked fine afterwards.
yes sort of tried my friends sd card in my desire and it detected it so its definetly the my sd card that faulty
thanks for replying to my message i tried mounting the sd card in recovery using recovery manager but my phone wont mount it as it not detecting the sdcard do you think i might have better luck with gparted and if so do you have a link where i might be abe to down load it.
Hello,
My rom(iNsertCoin) has crashed today for an unknown reason, and entered nonstop bootloops.
I have tried to reflash the iNsertcoin zip but it didnt work for some reason, also it told me it cant mount the sd-ext (I am using ra-desire 2.0.0).
I have turned the phone off, and when I returned home I put my A-Data 16gb Class 10 Microsd (which was bought from newegg, so it cant be fake) in my card reader, and I started to partition the card like this: 1gb ext4, 300mb ext4, 100mb linux-swap, rest to fat32.
all of a sudden the program just crashed and from that point it tells me the card has 1gb unallocated space, in windows 7 it keeps asking me to format the card but it never succeeds, and it says the card uses raw file system.
I have tried chkdsk, and it told me its not available for raw filesystems.
I have also tried a number of programs, the HP partition tool, SDFormatter, nothing really helped.
Also, I tried using diskpart -> clean all command on the card but it keeps giving me weird error messages but usually it tells me its not ready, and it looks like the card is not responsive, although the pc recongized it.
I have tried doing this from a number of computers, another W7 computer and a XP computer. nothing worked.
I cant allocate space in gparted, and it tells me to create a partition table, and when I try that, the program just hangs.
Oh yeah, and I tried to put the microsd card into an adapter and put it in my dad's dslr and tried to format it, but there was an error.
Have I killed my microsd card? :/

try using androids built in sd card format tool. settigns, sd card storage, unmount sd card, then format. try flashing clockworkmod recovery and using there builtin format ooptions,, if still no go, u mayb have friemd your sd card. by the way, u sjould always use your fat32 as your 1st rive and never 2nd or 3rd. im quite sure u makes your pc read the drives in the order u created them.

Thanks, but I have already tried to format it from the phone, and then recovery. didnt work.
and i made my fat32 as my first drive i just listed it last..
well I have sent it to A-Data today, in taiwan, and I'm hoping I will get a replacement card soon.
Hey everyone,
It's my first time rooting my Desire. I followed the "noob proof" guide, skipping the S-OFF step (figured I don't really need it if I'm just flashing ROMs).
I partitioned my SD card successfully (16GB -> 14GB FAT32, 1GB EXT4) using GParted and the card was working well. I made a backup and then flashed MildWild 5.0. Everything seems to be working fine except the SD card is not recognized. In Storage settings the "Mount SD card" option is grayed out and it says "Insert an SD card for mounting". I tried restarting the phone, reinserting the card, but that didn't work.
On a side note, when I partitioned the card first and ran stock rom I couldn't mount the card too, but the option wasn't grayed out, and after a restart it was OK - capacity and free space was reported correctly.
I guess it's a problem with the partitioning, but is there anything I could try before repartitioning the card again? This might be a logical way of dealing with the current situation (card is completely empty), but what if this happens again after using the phone for a while and storing all kinds of stuff on the card?
PS. I haven't tried to see if the card is visible in windows, because I don't have a card reader. I'll try GParted again tomorrow, but now I'm off to bed.
Thanks!
I had the exact same problem and fixed it by putting the card in a card reader, and running the "Scan drive for errors" tool in Windows. It found errors the first time, and I ran it twice to be safe.
Hi,
I managed to connect the card my PC by mounting USB storage in ClockworkMod recovery. I scanned the disk for errors but there were none. Unfortunately after rebooting the device still couldn't see the card.
Also while in recovery I could mount the sdcard and sd-ext, or at least appeared that I could - the lines changed to "unmount (...)" but there was no notification of successful or failed mounting.
What should I try next? Repartition with GParted (probably by mounting usb storage in recovery, otherwise it's not recognized there either) or try that with ClockworkMod? Or perhaps 4EXT?
Thanks!
OK, I tried partitioning the card again with GParted, but nothing changed. I am beginning to think something might be wrong with the card.
And after some reading I understand that partitioning with CWM isn't favored by most, so eventually I might try 4EXT. In that case, do I need S-OFF to install it? The question has been asked in the developer's thread recently, but no one has answer it and a few other threads seem to suggest that you don't necessarily need S-OFF, unless you would like to use some specific feature(s).
So do you need S-OFF to install 4EXT on the Desire or not?
Hi

No,your phone is not dead.It's a software issue
Did you tried mount in recovery?
Do u have a previous backup of system partition?
When I try mount external sd, there was error becouse "no card"
On 108 and 157 same problem and thats was not update, i install clear ROM and after do backup (108 ROM) from September (then I use 16GB ADATA card) still have the same problem
Did you format the card on phone? Don't just try to use computer to format it. I've tried a similar case but then after used the format tool on phone to format the card and the problem solved. If it doesn't work too, try to use other sd card.
You should format to FAT32!
But on my PC a can do this only exFAT or NTFS, when i format to FAT32 by recovery after put card to PC it want to format card
