FIXED: SD Card not detected anymore suddenly

Last night the SD card suddenly was missing on my rooted Desire, both in Android and in ClockWorkMod Recovey. The SD card could only be read in fastboot mode. Holy craperoly!
When I tried to mount it in ClockWorkMod Recovery I got an error message saying "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory)". I tried 2 different SD cards but none of them could be mounted.
Searched the web and came across "solutions" like "the mainboard is faulty and must be replaced". WTF!!!
Finally found the solution:
1. Download the Android SDK and extract
2. Connect the phone to the PC via USB
3. Go into Fastboot (hold 'back key' then power on)
5. On your PC enter the command prompt, navigate to the SDK\tools folder and enter
"fastboot oem enableqxdm 0"
"fastboot reboot"
Fixed!
Still have absolutely no clue why the issue happened in the first place...

i tried this but not working , may be it works on some but not for me
well i format with g-parted live cd , and made two partitions of fat32 and ext3
and now it is working
just try it
ps: first i used g-parted live cd in my laptop , but it did not detect my Micro sd
then i tried it on my friend's and then it detected msd , just give it a try , not sure for you

Hi! Thanks for the info, I did everything you told me but when I enter your command it says it doesn't recognize "fastboot" as an internal or external command... any ideas what goes wrong? the command propmt is the "cmd.exe" right? and I should enter the text right there, once navigated until the tools folder,right? (which is now "platform-tools" by the way")
Btw, about the fast boot mode. I turned off the phone and then pressed the back button and once the power button. It didnt say anything about entering fast boot mode or anything, that's right I guess?
I cant believe HTC is screwing that much... I was such a fan. First HTC sense huge problems.. now this...
Please answer! Thx in advance!

[Q] can't mount sdcard from AmonRA recovery

Hello Desirers,
i have had the HTC Desire for a whole year now, i did root it long time ago via Unrevoked 3, and installed the Amon-RA recovery.. and installed LeeDroid 2.2 by then, then made a full wipe some monthes ago and installed LeeDroid 2.3d.. and all went well.. i never had any problem with flashing a zip from the recovery or roms.
yesterday i downloaded the new LeeDroid2.41 rom, to install it.
When i went to Rom Manager to make a backup (my 1st time to use it to backup, thought to use it instead of the usual nandroid backup + from the AmonRA recovery menu... it went okay during the backup (with the different backups...etc) till the restart at the end and it gave me the white flash "HTC" screen and kept on restarting... and that's it.. nothing else happens.. i hadn't install anything new .. i was just backing up stuff.
Note that the HBOOT menu appears normally.. i can go to recovery.. to anything okay.. but can't boot the normal system that was just working and stable.
anyways so i thought to go to recovery and flash the new LeeDroid for that may fix whatever is wrong... but when i go to AmonRA menu and select to flash a zip it tells me :
E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
no such file or directory
E: can't mount /sdcard
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
though the sdcard is working on windows, i tried to restart, to remove the sdcard and insert it again, another sdcard (all gave the same result)... when i choose "Mounts" menu from the AmonRA menu and choose to "mound sdcard" it gives me the same error message.
now the brick is that i can't do anything.. can't change the recovery, can't install a new room or whatever, can't restore it to factory settings <install the original rom> ... because all needs sdcard. and i can't reach my original leedroid rom that was working because the phone keeps on restarting after the white screen.
what's wrong with the sdcard matter anyways ?
=-=
i really hope this shout reaches anyone who can help me, i am phoneless since yesterday Sad

hi,
did you try this command?
you should have adb installed on your computer the TUT there or use thos one from xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
Code:
open a cmd line (hit win key+r) and type cmd + enter)
1) Type in your command without quotes
“fastboot oem enableqxdm 0”
2) Once done reboot ur device
3) Your SD card must be recognized now.
hope this help U

You thought of it as a USB brick? You could use the tutorial to try fix it. Or it could be the bootloader (doubt it) or something else. Can the SD be read in the bootloader?

Just fixed it... i think the problem erupted because i have AmonRA recovery and used Rom manager (Clockwork mod recovery based) .. there were several reports that this may cause a usb brick. ... any way... i searched for how to unbrick it.. and used a clone cd from modaco ((Tinycore.img)) which is linux based to boot from it (with phone connected to fastboot usb) .. and entered the following commands :
sudo mkdir /mnt/cdrom
sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom/root
/mnt/cdrom/root/fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and it enabled the sdcard... i checked the sdcard workability from the recovery (i hadn't format it yet) then thought : WTH, why not to try and restart the phone to see if it will log in normally .. and it did (naturally because the sdcard block was the thing that prevented it from booting from the very start)...
so now it's working ... on the old LeeDroid 2.3d ... gonna do an AmonRA nandroid backup 1st thing... then why not to try to upgrade to LeeDroid 2.41 ;D... if anything goes wrong you will find me back here screaming and kicking like this morning ...
ain't that the beauty of Android ?

[Q] USB Brick and can't mount SD in clockworkmod

Hi everybody,
I've been looking on the forum for over a week, and I still haven't been able to resolve my problem.
I tried flashing my HTC Desire with a ROM (on Rom manager), but it didn't work (it always rebooted).
I stupidly deleted all the data on the phone, cache, dalvik cache, etc.... so no Rom is on my phone now.
I now think my phone is USB bricked (it has all the symptoms such as not being properly recognized on the computer).
I can turn on the phone, the buttons work, I can go into clockwork mod BUT I can't mount my SD card in clockwork (so I can't flash anything through that).
I would really appreciate and help you have to offer! Thanks!
S-ON (I unfortunately turned it back on while I tried to fix it)
HBOOT 0.93
Radio 5.11.05.27

I guess you just need to run two fastboot commands:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 (unblock your sd-card)
fastboot oem eraseconfig (fix misc partition)

I already looked at that page and tried what you said and it didn't work, I also tried flashing the PB99IMG.zip but that also didn't work.
I then needed to do the process on the bottom of the page, but it requires me to use a file explorer app, and I don't have any ROM installed

any ideas?

are you sure you ran the fastboot commands correctly?
1) Make sure you have fastboot set up, if you don't, unzip the attached file into c:\
2) turn on your phone in FASTBOOT (either hold BACK and POWER, or select FASTBOOT from the Hboot menu)
3) plug the phone in via usb
4) run cmd and type
Code:
cd\
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot oem eraseconfig

Do you see your device in fastboot devices? If yes then follow bortak's guide. If not, you might have a problem

Hi,
"fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" works fine, but when I do "fastboot oem eraseconfig" I get the following message:
... INFO[ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY
It is written that I'm connected on fastboot USB on my phone, and fastboot detects a device as "SH09XPL05866", that I suppose is my Desire.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Double-checked you wrote the command correct?

Yup, I wrote it correctly.
I looked at your guide, and I'm guessing it won't work anyways because I'm S-ON.
Is there any other way to un-USB brick it (or put it back on S-OFF)?

[Q] Noob mistake while flashing ROM, please help!

I made a pretty big noob mistake while attempting to install the Cyanogenmod 9 alpha 9 onto my HTC One X.
I flashed the boot.img without installing the cm-9-20120627-alpha-9-endeavoru.zip onto the phone's memory. Now the phone is stuck either in a bootloop or, when I erase the cache, stuck at the boot screen.
What can I do? I'm using a Mac, so apparently flashing a RUU won't work.
My version is 1.29.401.11.

hold the power button and the volume down button for about fifteen seconds
you should now be in the bootloader
select fastboot
navigate to the fastboot path in your pc with cmd
type fastboot erase cache
on your phone select the reboot recovery option
you should now be able to flash the zip from recovery

My problem is that I had completely forgotten to put the zip onto the sdcard. I can't flash it from recovery because it's not there.
I also tried flashing it to the sdcard using fastboot, but I get an error that says "FAILED (remote: not allowed)"

You have to go into recovery, and tick mounts & storage. At the bottom look for the mount USB mass storage function.then copy the ROM to the phone. Unmount it after that and you can flash it.

You just do this turn of your phone connect to pc and wait for the driver installation.. then go to the adb or fastboot folder.. then type adb devices in the command prompt.. if the driver is installed properly it'll show.. then mount sd card with adb shell mount /sdcard
And copy paste the Rom or kernel module with adb push <path to file> /sdcard this may take a while depends on the size and speed.. hope this should help. Hit the thanks if it worked

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying (noob and all). Also, I'm using a Mac, so I don't think I'm supposed to install any drivers.

I'm pretty much at the point where I would settle for just a working phone. How can I get it back to working condition? I'm finding this phone to be far more difficult to work with than the Galaxy Nexus. But then again, I'm not sure I know what I'm doing anymore.

[Q] Power button not working and no working rom. booting into recovery?

I have a problem.
- My power button ain't working.
- i cannot boot into a working ROM.
- When i want to boot into fastboot/recovery i need a working rom with USB debugging. then it would be possible with a "adb" command. But adb command are not working from hboot.
How can i now boot into recovery? because i now can only boot into hboot.

There's "fastboot boot recovery.img" but you need to be in fastboot mode. Can you get into fastboot?

But now i want to mount my SD card and i get the following error "Error mounting /sdcard, E: Unable to write to ums lumfile" Also formating from the SD card isn't working.

Cool, didnt think that would work.
Try flashing 4ext instead. Heres the image. See if its recognizing the sdcard. If not, go to tools, and use the usb unbrick feature.

First the booting from 4EXT recovery took more then 40 second and it came with a error "error mounting sd card.. please wait! recovery takes a long time booting without access to the /sdcard If you think you might be usb bricked.. take a look into the tools menu and use the usb unbrick option. Or use the following fastboot commands fastboot oem enableqxdm 0, fastboot oem eraseconfig."
Mounting the SD Card did not work.
Creating a partition table didn't work as wel."error re-reading partition table. Please reboot recovery and start over" But after a reboot it gives the same message.
Then i used the USB-unbrick tool like you stated. It was successful done (it told) and i rebooted afterwards like asked. But this didnt solve the issue and the errors where the same.
I also tried the suggested fastboot commands "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 & fastboot oem eraseconfig" but that didn't solve the SD Card issue. Still the same problems i cannot mount or format the SD card.
Under info it tell's "Mount point: sdcard, FS: fat32, Size: --MiB, free: -- MiB"
So i'm out of options here.

Yup i just tried another 2GB microSD card i had lying.
Mounting worked, formatting worked. Then i could copy your ROM's zip file to the SD card. But the moment i unmounted it and wanted to install it it failed. "E: Can't Open /sdcard/ChromiumROM........zip (bad)
After i toggled usb storage on and wanted to move some other files to the SD card. it failed.
