reflash the rom

Insert SDcard into PC via an adapter and try opening it. Windows can repair errors on the card, if it finds any. Data recovery not guaranteed though.

Do this remove sd card from your mobile and connect it on pc through adapter and check its readable if readable copy all file to your pc and format your sd card and reconnect it to your mobile and check its now readable or not.

Help please

I am running fresh 3.2 on my evo. I noticed this morning that my sdcard wasnt mounting, and i did a hard reset. I can get into bootloader and recovery, but since my sdcard wont mount, i can not boot because i am guessing that there are system files for fresh on my sdcard and since it is not recognizing it will not boot.
Your sdcard has nothing to do with your phone booting, there are no system files on your sdcard.
Since you can get into recovery try wiping cache and dalvik-cache and trying to boot
Don't wipe data just yet, but if wiping the cache's doesnt work then try wiping data too

Have tried all that, and nothing
Hmm, do you have a card reader you could use to plug your sdcard right into your PC and see if it can read it?

[Q] I can't partition SD with ROM Manager anymore

Hi all,
I cannot create partition using ROM Manager anymore. (I could in the past). Rom Manager says it will wipe all data on the card, but after the process complete, none is wiped. All files r still there.
I've formatted the SD card. I've even tried with another SD card.
In Recovery > mounts and storage > I played around with wipe cache, & format cache. i wiped dalvik-cache. I mount & unmount cache & sdcard. I had no idea what i was doing, but i was trying every options possible before asking for help.
Please help me to partition SD card.
Thanks,
D
I have the exact same problem in this very moment actually. Trying to find a solution, will let you know if I discover one.
For me Rom Manager not worked too. Use recovery to format SD card.
If reinstalling/clearing cache didn't work, try syncing the Desire with HTC Sync 3.0, then attempt the Rom manager actions again. Worked for me.
I reinstalled ROM Manager, formatted my SD card and also did a hard-reset and cleared all caches - that did the trick for me. ClockworkMod Recovery just displayed a large triangle before I got it to work.

Quick question on wiping data & "SD"

Will wiping the phone in CWM delete files on the "SD" space of the phone? I've read it is all apart of the same partition, so I wanted to make sure before awkwardly deleting the ROM I am about to install..
I have wiped tons of times in CWR and it hasn't touched the /sd yet. All my files are safe and sound.

Yes, it clears *all* internal storage.
So...which is it?
Maybe I misunderstood but are you talking about wiping /data and /cache? Because when I do this it does NOT wipe the /sd but does wipe all other user data, just like on every other android phone I have had.

Wipe data/factory reset on CWM wipes your WHOLE phone, including "SD" card. I advise you to use the Super Wipe Lite script from the Android Revolution ROM, get it here. This will do a complete wipe, except SD card.
A bit of more info, in case you're interested: the SD card is the folder /data/media mounted as /sdcard. When you wipe in CWM, the data folder is emptied as well.
EDIT: i havent actually tried to do a normal full wipe from CWM, im stating the above just from reading other reports here. Maybe the last version from CWM has fixed this, i dont know
EDIT2: You can wipe cache and dalvik as usual from CWM without any problems.

I figured that was how it was setup, but didn't know if CWM had any logic built into it to filter out the folder. I'll take a look at the script, thanks.
The built-in factory reset in Android will also wipe everything.
I did data,cache,dalvik wipe and formatted system going from 4.0.2 to 4.0.3.
I did NOT lose my SD card
The default wipe in ICS clears *all* internal memory. The default Factory Reset feature of CWM does the exact same thing. I've done it twice and it wiped fully both times.
Very interesting direct contradictions going on in here..
Wiping data in CWM DOES NOT WIPE THE VIRTUAL SDCARD. People need to stop saying it does.. it is all one partition but the virtual SD card is not wiped when you wipe data in cwm.. Factory resets in settings will wipe your virtual SD card but cwm WILL NOT.
Edit: sorry I had a long night, but I will leave the caps so people actually read it.

It is quite troubling to read how many people are saying that wiping in CWM will erase the SD card.
It 100% DOES NOT. I have wiped in CWM dozens of times already. I can not say the same for Factory Reset in Android...but in CWM wiping data DOES NOT wipe your SD.

Can You boot Your phone into recovery? if yes then boot into recovery, push the ROM zip using push command of adb
Code:
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard
Then flash the file.
