[Q] SD card not detected

I’ve recently upgraded the SD card in my desire to a 16GB class 4 and its giving me some major issues! I’m running OpenDesire 4.0.1 and the sequence of events was as follows:
1. Inserted new SD card and formatted with gParted: 512MB Ext3 and the rest FAT32 (Ext3 partition was at the end – hope that’s correct!)
2. Rebooted fine and all the apps stored on the internal memory were present and correct. Those that I had moved to the old SD card were missing so I uninstalled them.
3. Tried to install Estrongs file manager from appbrain using the fast web installer function. This downloaded OK but the phone rebooted during installation. Tried again but same thing occurred again.
4. Tried plugging phone into PC. USB debugging mode started up fine but I wasn’t offered the option of mounting the SD card
5. Unplugged USB and inspected phone storage menu to find that no SD card was mounted
6. Rebooted a few times, removed and reinstalled SD card etc – still no SD card detected by the phone
7. Booted into recovery, connect phone to PC and used the “mount USB” option in Clockwork mod. This was successful and allowed me to inspect my SD card on the PC. Noticed that Dalvik cache and some apps (those not included as part of the ROM) were present on the SD card (FAT32 partition) – OpenDesire must have moved them there automatically (but why to the FAT32 partition and not Ext3?).
8. Rebooted phone out of recovery to check that those apps that appeared on the SD card were accessible in Android. Found that they were, which is strange given that the SD card was still not being detected by the system.
9. Decided to mount SD card again via clockwork recovery method and formatted the FAT32 partition with gParted.
10. Rebooted phone and found SD card still not detected and all those apps that had magically been moved to the SD card by OpenDesire were (unsurprisingly) gone.
11. Tried a few adb commands that I found in another thread but didn’t seem to have any effect.
Out of ideas – can anyone help?! Will try old SD card tonight and see what happens, but I don’t think there is a problem with the new card since I managed to successfully mount it through clockwork. I’m also wondering why the apps were moved to the FAT32 partition instead of Ext3? I thought that’s what the Ext3 partition was for?
Cheers

The FAT32 partition must be the first partition on your SD card, and it seems from what you've said that you created the EXT partition first.

no the the FAT32 was first then the Ext3

OK fixed. Managed to mount the SD card on the PC via clockworkmod, deleted all partitions and rebooted phone. Phone detected SD card and asked me to format it. Did that and then added a ext partition using gParted.

[Q] [Help Req'd] Strange problem with EXT Partition.

OK, so my Desire was working ok, but I decided it was time for a clear out, and a fresh partition of my SD Card, along with a move to Firerat's script for A2SD.
I booted my computer into Ubuntu and made a backup of my SD Card - no problems there. However, I noticed that the EXT partition had not mounted in Ubuntu, so I figured that it must be to do with being booted into Android, and so I booted into Recovery and mounted SD card there - same problem.
It was not until I physically put my SD card into a card reader and inserted it into my laptop, could I access the EXT partition. So I went ahead and copied my EXT partition, no probs.
I then (for some reason) decided to put my SD card back into my phone, mount SD Card in Ubuntu and try and re-partition the SD card in GParted. It kept, however giving me an error message when I tried to partition the card. GParted crashed and would not restart until I re-booted the system. The same thing happened after a reboot.
I had to go into Windows and format the Card as FAT32, and then remove the card from the phone, put it in the card reader, reboot into Ubuntu and then partition the card via GParted.
Now, I have a 6Gb FAT32 partition and a 1GB EXT2 partition on my SD Card and all is (kinda) working swimmingly. Still when I access my SD card (via USB cable, and HTC Desire) in Ubuntu, the EXT partition does not mount (it DEFINITELY used to), and when I view it in GParted it shows the entire disk as "unallocated"?
Is my phone somehow "corrupting" my SD card partition tables? The phone seems to read it ok?
Any ideas would be welcome?
Thanks

No one have any ideas?

[Q] H-E-L-P | After partitioned cd card

Hi,
I partitioned my sd card by this software - MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition
to 2 partitions: EXT3 -1GB and FAT32 - 7GB.
(SD card of 8 GB)
now, my HTC Desire doesnt upload and stuck on the screen of my rom.
i tried to upload it with no sd card ad it stuck on the HTC screen.
i cant format the sd card by the recovery and i cant upload files on it by the computer.
i can use ADB when the phone plug in to the computer.
HELP!!
What can i do?

Did your desire work before you partitioned your SD Card?
I would suggest reformatting the card into the partitions you mentioned above, and copy a ROM to the FAT32 partition. Then, reflash a rom (with the SD Card inserted, obviously).

[Q] SD card damages

I've just bought the new SD card 32 GB and tried to partition but when mount on the phone, there is error " SD card damged, need to reformat again"
After format the card by using the phone. The card can be used. Is there problem with the card or my ROM's phone?
I'm using Zte v9 mytap Optus and it has been rooted

How do you partition the SD-Card? On your PC? - Which filesystem have you choose? (ext3?)
Kotake

Yeah. I did it on PC using mini tool partition with win XP. I don't have card reader. Just plug the phone to PC and mount the card. The card was formated fat32 and ext2

No one cannot help me ?

Try Gparted.
Remember that the first partition needs to be FAT32, followed by your smaller ext partition.

sd died, i thick that her life finish...

If you can use the card after you formated with your phone, everything is okay.
The card just came unformatted or in the wrong format, it is not deffective.

[D855] SD Broken?!? [SOLVED]

Hi everyone!
I upgraded to CM 13, big problem was the fact that my Samsung Evo 64 GB SD card was not usable as internal storage or external. I entered recovery mode and wiped all to install Cloudy 2.5. I have an issue now, the sd card is not formatted in its own original filesystem, and after i tried to change it to exFat or ext4 it shows me a 15mb sd card, rather then a 64 GB one.
How do I fix this?

You can take your micro SD card, put it in the adapter and then plug it to your computer.
After that you can take a software like "minitool partition wizard" and use it to format the micro SD card.

I figured out the SD card problem , i couldn't fix it for nothing until i did this.
FOR ANYBODY THAT GETS STUCK AT 20% or any other sd card problem with 6.0 roms
1. Backup all files on SD card (This will delete everything on your sdcard)
2. Install minitool partition wizard
3. Remove all partitions from SD card with partition wizard (Do not reformat)
4. Place SD card into phone
5. Let the phone detect SD card and try to reformat
6. chose either Internal or Portable Storage
7. Enjoy because it works perfectly for me now.
btw. im running a LG G3 D850 ATT
