Did you try removing and inserting the sd card? This sometimes happens with my hero as well.

Moved to Q&A as not development

SD card not being detected

When I tried to access an app that was installed on SD, my phone locked up. Upon a reboot I no longer have access to the card, all the apps' shortcuts are broken and all the options like mount SD card, format SD card are greyed out. Also when I connect the use cable there is no option to mount as disk drive anymore. I've rebooted, tried removing the card etc but no luck. Anyone else had this? I can't find my micro SD card adapter right now so I cart try it in my pc.

Did you try running checkdisk from windows to repair it?

No cos I can't mount it in Windows

Try repartitioning your sd card. Could be a corrupt ext partition, or your sd is completely screwed.

I'll have to find my adapter

Sounds like a bigger problem than a broken ext if nothing can read/mount the sd card. Might be the end of your sd cards life im afraid

I've only had it about 2 months.....get what you pay for I suppose (click). Anyway still no luck with the adapter so I'll see if anyone's got one at work tomorrow.

OK, I found my adapter (and my old microSD card hiding within), windows has no problems seeing the 16gb card and my old (original 4gb) card has the same problem in the phone. For good measure I did a chkdsk on the card.
What are my options?

I've performed a full reset and still got the problem. Anyone got any suggestions?

anyone? I'm thinking it's a desire hardware fault.

any help? cheers

A number of us have had failed SD cards. In my case, Windows could see it well enough to copy most of the data off but failed to reformat it. I suggest you try to copy the data somewhere safe and then reformat in Windows. If the reformat works it's probably a hardware issue. If the reformat doesn't work it's probably the card.
I'm sure others will have different views!

Yeah but it's same with both my cards. I'll give it a go anyway cheers.

The one that came with the phone .. ( 8GB Class 2 ) came up with with a read only error last week ...
The card was dead.
I got a 8GB card class 6... used app brain .. and restored all my apps fine... etc
fab.. phones faster .. no problems

After inserting my old card again I now get the dreaded -
SD card damaged. You may have to reformat it.
Of course when you follow the wizard to format it, it doesn't seem to format it. I did try a full format in Windows earlier, no luck.

Just to help anyone who stumbles over this thread in search of an answer, I've had to send it away for repair, it appears to be a hardware fault. 2-3 weeks.

Error mounting SDCard

Hi i have an HTC Desire running a custom rom. I had amon RA and yesterday i have flash Clockmod recovery through fastboot. After rebooting it keep up booting on the flash screen. I have formated my sd card and try to re-install a custom rom but i'm getting an error. E:can't mount/dev/block/mmcb1k0p1( No such file or directory.Error mounting SDCard! I am trying to mount the sdcard through clockmod but still the same error. i was thinking may be the card is not good. I bought another card but still the same. Pls can someone help me to sort that out.
My Desire is s-off with Hboot 0.93

Sounding like the SDcard is "deactivated". Maybe it's the usb-brick? Try a search for that. I think there was anything about reactivatIng SDcard...

Same probem here
Hi.
I juste encountered today the exact same problem : After a Nand back-up using CWM, I discovered that nothing had been written on the SD-Card.
Whan I tried to reboot, I entered into a boot loop.
Back in recovery, I had no mean to mount /sdcard or /sd-ext : I always get an error message "Can't mount ..."
I am S-OFF, Hboot 0.93.
Any help ?

can't mount sdcard
hi today i have bought another sd card. Formated and partition it using gparted. put the card on my phone et voila the phone boot normally and enter the OS. But the card problem is still there and i can access all the apps on the phone. setting is no longer available on the phone. Any idea how can we sort that as i can see a lot of people is encountering this issue. there is no one who can address this issue?

i have got a link to that forum and have try to follow the instructions but stuck on the first step. It says you must root your phone as mine is already rooted but may be we have to re-root it. While connecting my phone i'm getting found new hardware: Qualcomm cdma. I have search the net and downloaded and install activesyn but can't found the phone. I am unable to root it. Any suggestion?

Same problem here although I have a htc explorer. I continuously have to keep reinstalling my Rom and formatting my sd card. Its probably because of software bugs

is your phone say "sd card removed. please insert a new one"?
if yes, try to backup your data and format the SD card with CWM Recovery.
mine was back to normal after partitioned by CWM

Don't waste your money on sd cards. You should get an sd card adapter/reader to format your card using your computer. Sometimes the format option on mobiles do not function properly.

As long as your sd is readable by your computer, you should be able to mount your sd card using cwm recovery

Enable the SD Card functionality. Boot your phone in FASTBOOT mode (back + power), and enter this command: 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' . This will re-enable your SD card."

I have a CDMA Desire that would not read the sd card. I tried all the different tutorials I could find, but nothing worked. I finally ended up taking the phone apart, and there was a connection right beside the sd card slot that was partially disconnected. I reconnected that and everything works fine now.
Seems like connections disconnect fairly often with the desire (GPS, LED, SD card, etc..) so if nothing else works and you are comfortable taking your phone apart, you could try that.
Here is a video of how to disassemble the phone.

Yes I did format everything but it doesn't work ayway.

Try a diffrent sdcard and see if your phone will mount it.

Try reinstalling the rom.

Damaged SD Card

Hello,
Yesterday while downloading stuff, my phone suddenly sent me a notification that my SD card is broken. I can access everything in Recovery somehow. What I've tried :
- un-mounting & mounting again
- re-flashing
- factory reset
- format in recovery
And everything that I listed above failed. When I plug my card into PC it doesn't open. My whole window is not responding. I've tried mounting it on my older phones (Nokia 2730 & LG KP500), and only Nokia readed my card, but I couldn't do anything because it was password protected. Every possible password I had for my old SD card wasn't the right one. I've already googled but nothing mentioned before helped. When I formatted in recovery it only froze. When I switched ROMs to more "original" one, when I plugged my SD card it was automatically removed. Also my SD card is EMTEC 16 gb Class 4, and just in case I have my old 1 gb sd card lying around.

There is a possibility that your SD card is damaged..........one way of trying to cure it is to somehow try to make it work on your computer and Format it............or just try to format it on the phones that it works on

Going to try format on my old Nokia. But I was thinking, if I can get my SD card to work in Recovery, isn't there anyway to connect my phone to my PC and then try to format?
EDIT: Tried formatting on Nokia 2730 - it was failure. I couldn't because of the password.

Download Partitioning Wizard and see of the drive will show up.

In recovery, I should press mount usb right?

Yes

I did as you said and in Partition Wizard it showed me that the whole disk is used, file system was bad disk, and type was logical.
When I tried to format it said "Windows was unable to continue formating".
