Help ~ SD card isn't detected on booting

My SD card isn't detected after reboot.
The device is stuck in the splash screen when the SD card is inserted.
When I reboot without the SD card and wait a few seconds to inserted the SD card then the device is booting normal.
Also when I enter the 3 color then the SD card with a correct nbh file on the root isn't detect.
I format FAT32 the SD card a couple of times without result.
What could be the reason why the device is detect the SD card during booting?

If you haven't, try using gparted to format it, or format it to another fs (such as ext2) then reformat again using fat32... had a similar issue using a 128mb sd card (a really old one) and fixed it this way...

The same result with a new SD card.
I think it's a problem with the device, could this?
The problems started last week when I removed the SD card without unmounting.
With the next reboot it wasn't starting. After trying many times I found the workaround with booting without SD card in, but I don't like this situation.

if you can boot without sd, boot, then insert the card and look if it is detected.
in this case try to format it from android.

Question, does the device seem to detect ANYTHING when you insert the microsd ??
check the logs.. (keyboard, FN + left custome key, FN+Right one to get back)
Press the FN+LEFT, and insert the card, check for logs on the screen about it...

Sorry, didn't notice you had a Polaris
So, you can enter bootloader. Without a SD, you get the SPL version i think.
With the SD , what happens ?
Second, start droid, wait a few secs, insert sd.
Start terminal, and issue the command mount, what do you see?

also try a umount on it just to make sure its not just a damaged file system for whatever reason.

PLEASE HELP...Can't get SD Card Swapped!!

I just got a 32GB Micro SD Card for my evo and I am trying to replace my current 8gb card. I was previously running MIUI 11.26 and using clockworkmod recovery. I followed these steps because I couldn't find anything Evo specific:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/ho...-android-when-using-swap-hero-and-or-apps2sd/
when trying to format and reapply the rom i was using i received this error msg:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory)
Now I don't know where to go from there. I previously had a 16GB card fry because apparently i didn't take the correct steps to get it working properly, i do not want that to happen again. Can ANYONE give me specific instructions for swapping my SD Card for my Evo?? If so I would GREATLY appreciate it!!!
And yes...this is probably rather "noob-ish" and I DID already search the forums for any help and couldn't find what i was looking for. Again any help is appreciated
Thanks!!

just copy all files from your 8g card to the 32g card pop it in the evn and you are good to go, nothing special required. Unless you are using apps to sd, then the easiest way s to put all apps back on the phone, then after switching to the new sd put them all back on the sd.

Yea I tried that and kept getting an error msg. I think there are specific steps for partitioning etc I just don't know them.

sorry if i'm misinformed but the evo has 2.2/apps2sd built in and 2.2 partitions the sd card on reboot. The article u linked i believe is for devices with 2.1 or ealier and a modded apps2sd . I have swapped many different cards and have not had to do anything that special.
Here are my steps:
1. go into settings manage applications and pull all apps back to phone.
2. copy all files/pics/vids/whatever u want to keep to computer.
3. power off, swap out sd cards, power back on.
4. phone should boot and partition sd or whatever.
5. use astro file manager and if it shows directory for sd, asec, secure then everything is good and u can move apps back to sd.
6. hook phone to sd and move all your kept files from old sd to new sd

I have seen your problem happen with a bad sd card, where did you get the 32g card. You may want to test it and see if it is actually a 32g.

Thanks for the response...just a question before i go forward with it, when i replace the card and reboot the phone, is it automatically going to boot up w/ the rom i was using before replacing the card?
Edit: Tried these steps and got stuck in bootloop for MIUI (rom i had flashed previously). Even tried to put the initial PC36IMG file on the sd card and flash it through recovery, nothing! It searched for it then says it directory cannot be found. I've put the 32gb card in my card reader on my computer and it comes up just fine, I can add files to it, format it etc and everything works, any other suggestions...this is becoming highly frustrating! Again any help is definitely welcomed!

So i still cannot seem to get this working, and I've tried doing a lot of different things and nothing is working for me, I have tried to install some sort of file manager program (astro) but it doesn't recognize my sd card, yet my phone shows it as mounted and with plenty of space available. I do not know what else to do...can ANYONE help me?

i had a similiar problem recently. For christmas I received a new sd card. At fist it didn't recognize my card. I tried to format it using my PC but I then went to my recovery (Amon RA) and clicked on the Partition SD card option.
After I partitioned, I turned on USB-MS toggle and put all my files back into the phone (including my rom zip).
I disabled USB-MS toggle, and then wiped data/factory reset, cache, dalvik-cache
Flashed zip from sdcard and violoa. It works!
try that one out.

Mounted read only sd card issue

Is anyone having this issue as well? I tried taking battery out, rebooting, even taking out the sd card. I just hope my sd card is not messed up.

can you be more specific of whats going on and what your problem is?

Two ways to do
...pull sdcard, put in card reader, select drive, select properties, select tools, then select scan and fix.
...boot to recovery, select usb toggle, select sd drive...etc. as above.

I was having this issue as well about a week or so ago & as Jelive posted, a scan & fix alleviated the problem...

I had this issue as well. I resolved it by transferring my sd content to my computer and then formatting the card with the phone. I actually have had this happen 4 times already. I have noticed that this happened whenever I used Amon Ra to delete cache and dalvik cache.

Believe what is causing this is changing from Charge Only to Drive, accessing the sd card, and not changing back to Charge Only before pulling the USB cable...causes errors. Other than retraining yourself not to do the easiest way to avoid the problem is boot to recovery and toggle USB from there, transfer files to sd drive, etc.

Frozen SD card

Over the weekend my phone has decided to not read my sd card anymore. I copied the whole card to my external drive and formatted it via the computer twice, I booted the phone back up and everything on my card was still there. I used the option in my rom (ILWT) to erase my memory card, no luck. I then formatted the card via cmd prompt today which didn't work, and then my last shot in the dark was to reformat the card via 4EXT recovery. My phone still gives me the "insert sd card" when I take a photo and all my of files are still on it. Anyone have an idea of what happened?

the sd card slot probably is bad if it won't work in recovery or a rom, could be the small cable that connects it or the tray it self. about 10~15 on ebay and a 10 min fix

Good call, will investigate.

Have you tried the card without the phone? In a pc reader or another device.

Yup, card still has everything on it.

It seems more like a broken SD card to me. Have you tried another one?
You can also try some low level formatting tool like HDD Low Level Format Tool (from hddguru.com).

Have you attempted to copy off everything on the card, and then doing a full format of it on the computer (including maybe low level formating).
IF that still doesn't work, try another SD card, and if that doesn't work, I suspect the slot itself is bad.

Fulmics 3.7 SD Card problem

through my pc. quick format. FAT32
It's too weird.. i think it's the rom. because, now, i can see the SD Card's content when i mount it with a USB adapter to my laptop.

Hi
You need to go into settings on the phone and long press on the SD card and you will be able to format the card to copy to. Do not format as internal.
