Hey all. First time poster, long time creeper. I can read and follow directions, and am not a total idiot. That being said, I was using my phone and was updating a bunch of apps. The phone restarted in the process and kept updating, I didn't think much of it. At some point a after the restart my class 10 32gb SD card that I have been using for the past month or so wasn't being seen. I powered the phone down, took the card out, put it back in, turned back on, nothing. I went into settings storage and hit mount SD. It then said the the card was safe to remove, so I did, nothing. I turned the phone off, hboot, recovery, got a .message that said unable to mount SD. I plugged it into a card reader on a PC and it appeared normal. I don't have another micro SD to test with. I am thinking I need to reflash a ROM to fix this, but am confused by not being able to mount in recovery anyhow. I uninstalled most of my apps and reinstalled some. I am running cyanogen 10.1. Halp?

You answered your own question. Reflash the Rom and see if your problem persists.

Hi,
Seen various SD card problems posted here and other forums but no solutions.
A few nights ago I was transferring a large number of files to my Desire and noticed the transfer windows froze so I disconnected my phone. When I then tried to turn the screen on it wouldn't turn on (though the led kept blinking). I eventually had to restart the phone by removing the battery.
Upon restarting I got an error saying the SD card was corrupted and needed to be formatted. Tried restarting again etc but didn't work so clicked on 'format' in the pop-up but nothing happened even after several attempts. Then tried doing this through the settings menu but again didn't work.
Gave up. Wake up next morning and phone screen won't come on again. Took out battery again and still had memory card problem so connected to pc and formatted card on there. I think after this the card started working again but WITH ALL THE DATA STILL ON IT. No idea how!?
This morning after 4 days working fine I connect phone to pc to transfer music and don't get an option to mount USB so I unplugged and get a new SD card error: blank SD card. SD card blank or has unsupported file system. So tried everything I tried last time but this time I can't mount the card so I can't access it on a pc to format it.
Anyone had similar problems on here? Seems to have happened to quite a few on Android forums etc. Any suggestions? Have tried putting card in and out several times. Have tried SD mount widget. Getting pretty desperate here.

had exactly the same issue you had the second time, posted, found no fix.
Using a spare sd card I had in it's place, my phone registered it as blank again the next day! It was a reboot job though and it has been fine since..
Would like to get to the bottom of this before a blow a decent sized card
I have had many many bizzare and quite frankly random SD card errors with this phone. Nearly one everyday doing something. Most of them read the same SD card missing, needs formatting, is empty or corrupted notifications. The latest one occurred 5 mins back on reinstalling NewsRoom app -- suddenly left with a totally empty SD card when trying to save RSS to it. As in every case, an immediate reboot fixed the error so I can't offer any more help.
Whenever I've had the "needs formatting" error I removed the card for a few mins before replacing it back inand it worked fine thereafter.

I've just tried leaving the card out for a few minutes with the phone off and reinserting to no avail. Tried restarting lots of times
Going to try another SD card now. Most people on other forums had problems with their stock 4gb cards whereas mine is an 8GB card i got separately. I think it's the phone at fault not the cards.
**Update** The other SD card is working fine so far. But i'm now left with a screwed up 8gb card that's not recognised by any pc. Any suggestions of how to fix this?
If my 4gb card is screwed up by the phone too i'll let you all know
Hello guys,
Well i installed Miui, I rooted my phone, flashed the ROM and it was stuck on the boot for a while. Rebooted went into Recovery and wiped it. Now it works but when i plug it in to the computer it won't pick up the USB. Along with that the SD Card is not picked. When i go into About Phone Sd Card: Unavailable available. So i went into SD Card settings and all of them are unavailable.
Help please! I'd like to go back to stock ROM but can't mount it :|
Really, I don't know why that would be happening and I don't know if this suggestion will help, but try removing the battery and then putting it back in. Maybe even take out the sd card while you're at it and reseat it.

I took the battery out around 8 times already. How i take the SD Card out?
Still didn't work i took out the battery and the SD card
I know searching on these forums is difficult, but part of the reason is because of all the duplicate threads. However, Google is your friend. I searched "SD card and USB fix Evo" on Google, and this was the first link that came up:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243
This happened to me a while back. Do the SD card fix first, then you can place the files to fix the USB problem on your SD card and you won't need ADB for that portion of the fix.
NVM got it all fixed.
Ok guys, I've tried to figure this out using other threads on the forum, but I've still come up with nothing!
I'm running cyanogen mod with clockwork recovery AFAIK. Bought the G2 on eBay already rooted, and everything has been working great until yesterday. All of a sudden the phone gives me the infamous "SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem." Argh! I've tried reformatting the card through the OS, and then it tells me to insert a new SD card. Ok, I reboot... annnnnd the same thing again. Next I tried mounting it through the OS. After it's done it tells me the card can't be mounted because it's probably corrupted. Let me just say I don't think that's the case because I was using it RIGHT before this started happening. When I try to connect through Windows and format it doesn't recognize any storage in the device.
So now I'm here. What the heck do I do, xda?! Is there something in the recovery menu I should use? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated, and if you need any more info please ask!
Bump for justice!

I have had the same stuff happen to me many times. Download SD formatter on your pc it finds the sdcard and formats it. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=sdformatter
Alright, now it's getting really bad. I attempted to format that card in the computer, but it actually did seem to be ****ed up, in that the computer saw the card once and then it was invisible. Ok, so I order a new 8GB microSD card, arrived today. I format the card using the above program, succesfully, throw it in the phone, and bam, SAME ****ING PROBLEM. What the ****? This is ****ing BULL****.
Now I'm considering re-flashing the phone, but that's a last resort option. Is there something that needs to be on the SD card for cyanogen/CWR for it to even work? I didn't think this was the case, but if it is, WHAT do I need to put on it?
Again, this is quite infuriating, so any help or direction is greatly appreciated.

This is what I would do. I would format the card on the computer to fat32 format. On the phone I would boot into recovery and select wipe data/factory reset, then still in recovery I would go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache, and then still in recovery I would go to mounts and storage and format system and format boot. Back on the computer I would re-download the ROM (what you have now may be corrupt) and place the zip on the newly formatted card. Then I would put the sd card in the phone and flash the ROM.
I have a 32gb sd card that i have had in the phone since i got it (in july), been working fine. all the sudden while i was on twitter a notification popped up saying the card had been removed. so i took the back off, removed it and put it back in, it wouldnt read the card. took it back out, turned the phone off, turned it back on and when it was back on i reinserted the card, it said card inserted, then never mounted it.
i took the card out and put it into a card reader on my computer and it worked great.
any ideas on what else i can try?
stock rom, rooted. if that helps.
anyone?
If it isn't detecting on your phone, try plugging it via usb->microsd adapter or sd. If windows doesn't detect then the card is probably dead.
Pull everything you want to keep off the card, reformat with yourcomputer, put it back in your phone. Should detect it then. Same thing happened to me on cwm6.0.1.4 touch.

What does it say in Settings -> Storage?
I had similar experience recently with 64gb card after attempting format it to FAT32 on computer. I wrecked the card and it become totally useless, but the symptoms where similar, except it would show me "empty card" message and attempts format it on phone would "succeed" yet would not mount, keep showing "empty card"...
If you have another card, you could test with it, if it works, then perhaps format on computer could fix it.

I wish people would read complete post before replying...
i dont have another card to test.
the card works great on my computer, just not in phone.
when its in the phone it just keeps popping up n the notifications saying "SD card is safe to remove" 5 min after i get rid of the notification, it comes back.
i got a message on my phone asking me if i want to reformat it (i had already copied everything from it to my comp for a back up) so i did that, but it didnt work.
I will try reformatting on my computer.
Try a factory reset and reformat the SD to FAT32 or just use the phone to do it.

As title states. I recently bought a used R800x to use as a gaming phone, everything was working peachy until last night. SD card wont mount, the backplate is on tight so the white switch is being pressed down. I have tried stock roms, I have reformatted the card 3 times, I have tried another card, same issue. I have tried custom roms, same result. Going to storage on the phone shows sd card not present and unable to connect to it via PC from within the phone after booting up. However if I go into recovery and mount no problems there. I was begining to think the microsd slot is shot but if that was the case it wouldnt connect at all CWM or not. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this issue or some suggestions?
So even when you press the switch down still nothing?

That's what was happening.. I got it solved, somehow my phone stopped seeing the 2nd partition, ext3 from link2sd. I have to remove all partitions and reformat, only then did it see the card again, not sure why it did that. When the card was inserted with the ex3 parttion it saw it no problem for days then suddenly would not see the sdcard until I removed and formatted everything.
I had to start from scratch on a ftf again but all is working, sd card and all.
