Hello all, someone please please consider helping me out. I'm using MIUI6 Latest. Everything was fine. Last night my phone got full discharged somehow, in the morning, I recharged it and found that the sdcard is not being recognized. I tried all the ways. Its not recognized in Windows too. I tried in the recovery and its not showing up. What should I do? please someone help me. I might repair it through recovery but it will format it and I don't want to lose the data. Is there any way to recover it? The current file system of the card is 'vfat' as shown by the recovery. Please help me.
You need to format it to either EXT4 or FAT32.You can later on recover the data via file recovering apps.

@aniket.lamba, Thanks brother. But what I found was whenever I'm trying to format the card through TWRP but its getting failed everytime.. Even more, its not recognized through card readers in Windows.. And even more, I tried formatting it throgh a Nokia Symbian phone but whenever I put the card in the phone it doesn't boots up. And if I put the card in my laptop or desktop, even they don't boot up. Whats wrong with it, and what happened to it overnight?? I feel its hard bricked. but how. Please help me out brother, I have million dollar data on the card. Atleast I could save the card.

There's no other way out I guess..
Radical solution, maybe...
Hi,
I was stucked, once, with my external sd card also, like you.
You can try to format your card with the MiniTool Partition Wizard for windows. If the software doesn't recognize the card (giving it as damaged), then go to the Computer icon - on windows - right click on the card, and make a full format. Then enter the MiniTool and format in the FAT/ext format that you want.
I do not garante, though, that you will be able to recover your data - I didn't... The windows format erases - I think - all the card info...
But it will put your card straight, I guess...
Kind regards,
CPtolemy

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.
Thought I would ask first... my SD card will not mount on my phone. Data seems to still be there but I have a notification saying "sdcard is blank or has unsupported filesystem." Tried to format but the card wont mount on the device. I've tried formatting in the android os and in recovery with errors. Does this mean the SD card is toast? Any help is appreciated. I'd hate to lose all of the data. Thanks.

At work right now and our computers are on lockdown, no external devices can be read. If I can access what should I do? When I tried repartitioning in recovery it said it could not mount dev/block/mm? ?? Or something like that, basically gave me an error. Any advice? Im about to just buy a new card.

You might just need to reformat the card. Sometimes the cards get corrupted. You might even still be able to access and backup the content on the card if a PC will read it. If you have WIndows 7, it might even offer to repair errors on the card. That could also get it working. I'd say reformatting it is a good idea either way.
i just had similar error... try removing and reinserting card. if that doesnt do it reboot into recovery and depending on the recovery you are using go in to mounts and try selecting "mount sd card" that last one fixed my issue.

I ended up just buying a replacement 8GB class 10 card (wanted a higher class card anyways, this gave me an excuse to buy one ). I was able to retrieve the contents of the SD card by mounting it in my computer (vista 32). I didn't try reloading it into my Evo cause now I don't have a need for it. Thanks for the responses though, glad that you guys are here and willing to help. :thumbup::thumbup:

Your best bet is to try a sdcard reader and plug it directly into your computer. If that doesn't work your probably going to have to format the card.
Do you really have to type in all caps? I really shouldn't even be answering this...
Take the card out of the phone and put it directly into a card reader on a computer. See if Windows reports any errors, if not do a error check on the card. You can also try programs like GetDataBack to see if you can restore any data. If not, you are out of luck. Next time, backup your data if it is important. I cannot stress this enough to people.
Greetings XDA,
I would love help with my current situation. I am in the military and really need my phone working so my soldiers can contact me ^^;.
I have an HTC Evo, the older (original) version, and followed the steps here:
http: // htcevohacks <dot> com/htc-evo-hacks/root-for-htc-evo-4g-gingerbread-is-here/
It seemed to work just fine, and so I connected my phone to my computer to transfer some files. However, after about a minute, the my computer didn't recognize that my phone was connected anymore and I didn't even have the option for "disk drive" on my drop down list. Apparently, my SD card was unmounting itself. After rebooting and trying again about a dozen times, I decided to bypass the phone/usb deal and connect the sd card directly thought an adaptor. My computer recognized it and opened the drive, but once I tried to delete or move any file, the drive would dismount.
Becoming fustrated, I decided to try and wipe the SD card/format it, but because my phone won't recognize it and it dismounts itself from my computer, I can't do either.
Now my phone only boots into the bootloader and doesn't recognize the SD card at all.
I thank you for taking the time to read my post, and appreciate any help you can provide.
I would try swapping in another sd card

I don't currently have another SD card, nor do I really want to spend money on another one; if I can avoid it.
I've tried formatting the SD card several different ways:
Through basic windows means (Right Click > Format)
Through CMD Prompt
Through Admin Tools - Comp Mgmnt - Disk Mgmnt
Through 3rd party programs, etc
However, whenever I try to move a file to the sd card, move something out of, delete, format, or any other type of specific access, my computer can then no longer recognize it.
Is there any way for me to get my phone past bootloader, without the sd card? I've tried resetting all user data in recovery, but it seems that no matter what I do, I can't get past the bootloader.
Is there anyone out there with a solution?
Perhaps there are other details I can provide, just inquire.
So you can get into recovery? Have you tried formating the sd card with recovery?

Yes, I have, but my phone doesn't recognize that the sd card is mounted.

What happens when you try to mount sd card in recovery? All in all it may be a bad sd card. And you might have to get a new one. Or if you got a friend that has a spare one you can use.

Thank you for your prompt replies.
Whenever I try to mount/access my sd card on the phone, it simply doesn't find it. I am using the same 8gb sd card that came with the phone, and I've had the phone since day 1 release.
The more and more I try to fix or find a solution to this problem, the more frustrated I am getting; and the more it is seemingly looking hopeless =/.
Hi everyone,
I have a 64gb sandisk microsd external card, in a att galaxy s3 and it appears to be acting very strange.
i can't add or delete anything from it, i put it in my brothers galaxy s2 to format it (my s3 not having the option(which is strange)) and it let me format it, but when it remounts its at the exact same place, with 42.2gb free storage space, which is what it was at before i formatted it, i did it a few times same thing.
if i manually try to delete things from the card through my phone or computer they either hang or they do delete then upon reboot all the files are back. I hope its not corrupted but it sounds like it is. i've used a few apps like sd tools which runs speed tests, and i get about 130mb write speed a second and 5000mb read speed a second which sounds like it should be able to read and write things but unfortunately it just won't
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Take the SD card and use a custom recovery to wipe it clean. That might help

Hmm. You might have to try a double format in TWRP, then when you load up the System use the system's format tool. (i.e. Storage --> Wipe SD Card). If that doesn't work, you might need to find someone with a microsd to USB jig or something of the sort and use a computer to format it.

yeah thanks for the support, tried a number of things in twrp but to no avail. i went out and bought another 64gb microsd card and put it in my phone, works perfectly. but still i'm trying to get the other card working. the new card came with an adapter so i've been trying to format it in my computer. i've used windows format, i do the long one, it gets all the way to the end looks like its complete then says unable to format. and all teh data is still there, i've also tried guiformat by ridgecrop, says success but still all the information is still there.
i don't know if this means the card is corrupt i'd always assumed i'd get corruption error messages.
is there a program i can use to scan the card for errors or corruption?
thanks again dude for the responses any additional help will be very much appreciated still.
again thanks.
solution sorta found
Okay, finally ran out of options and things to search for so broke down and called sandisk techncial suport (didn't think they could help but my mistake)
