HELP! Stuck in recovery with a damaged sd card - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So after getting so many repeated messages of my sd card being damaged and having to format every time I reboot by phone I think it finally gave out and now I am stuck on the bootloader menu when I restart my phone. The sd card is formated but my phone is still not able to mount the sd card when I know that there is nothing wrong with it. Am I screwed? should I send it back?

try taking out the sdcard and rebooting the phone without it in.

fixed you guys, I just swapped out my card for my girlfriends on her phone and it mounted, then just flashed the rom. I guess the card that comes with the nexus one is faulty or something, just going to go buy another one.

I had a similar issue with a 1 year old 16GB card last week. Card was destroyed and I couldn't get anything off of it. The MBR was damaged and wouldn't be re-written. Had to go get a new card :-/
Tried this one:

New problem - Inserted SD card. Phone dies.

I've put in a 16 GB SD card.
Phone just loads the LG logo repeatedly .
Took out the SD card. Same thing. Phone won't turn on. Just the LG logo and that's it.
Tried accessing using USB.Nothing. Connects and disconnects.
Any help would be appreciated.
What was the last thing that you did or installed on the phone? Happened to me once and did a factory reset and its all good. Lesson to me, make a CWM backup. As for the SD card, I would suggest to reformat the SD Card.
I'm not sure if the SD card has caused it. What brand is it? Unless you have a backup, it would seem you could be out of luck and have to do a hard reset. Try removing your SIM card and SD card, as well as the battery and just boot with the USB cable.
You could do a boot with the USB cable? Nice hope I knew that.

Nexus One Thinks All SD Cards Are Blank

I'm having a weird problem with a Nexus One. It had a 2GB microSD card in it that seemed to go corrupt (all the file names went crazy) so I reformatted it and it happened again within minutes. So today I bought a new 8GB microSD card and and the Nexus now gives the error of "Blank SD Card - SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem." It is unable to format the card, but it doesn't give an error. I tried formatting the card to FAT32 on my computer, still the phone thinks it is blank/unsupported.
I'm hoping the SD slot isn't fried... any thoughts?
You could try reformating the SD card in a computer using SDformater with erase on.
I have the same problem for a few weeks now. My phone can't seem to read the sd card at all. Thought it was the sd card so I bought a new one, but problem remains. I know both cards work (have tested them in another phone and the computer reads them). I've tried formatting the card in the phone and reformatting with erase on using SDFormatter in my computer but my phone refuses to read it. Think it might be my sd slot as well...
Currently running CM 7.1.0. Haven't tried a factory reset or flashing another ROM (how would one go about doing that with no sd card?) as I'm not too keen to lose that data if I can help it.
Did you manage to fix it?
I was not able to fix it and after many hours of troubleshooting, so I gave up. Good luck to you, and please reply if you find a solution.

Try some free data recovery software. Google it, and use a card reader on your PC to help, but it does not look good.
Thanks for your reply.
Ive actually did that and got trolled by this program. After scanning all the files, it asked me to purchase the program in order to get the files back. I got fed up and reformatted the sd card and start from scratch.
Right now I'm facing one issue. After putting stuff back into the sd card, I unplugged it and the sd card un mounted itself. I pulled it out and plug it back in with restart and all and the phone still cant read it.
Is it the sd card problem or my phone?
Or what else should I do?
Thanks on advance.

There are plenty of good free ones that dont do that, however, if you have now formatted the card all the information is lost.
Which format did you format it too? Make sure its FAT or EXT2, 3 or 4. The best bet is to format it in recovery.
I knew it would be a problem if I reformat it, but I was really fed up certain programs like those. I didn't want to waste time so I chose to reformat it.
My first attempt with FAT didn't work, and tried the others as well.
This morning I reformatted and stick it into the phone and erased every thing on the sd through the phone again. And now it seems to work fine.
Somehow the first few tries the phone reformatted the sd even when I did it through the computer already.
Anyway, thanks alot buddy

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Mini - MicroSD issue

I had my Samsung Galaxy Mini for over a year now and had absolutely no problems what so ever even after rooting it.
Week ago every application I try to install gives the "usb memory not mounted" error, so after searching and trying to solve this problem as it is an internal memory space issue couldn't solve and gave up eventually.
Days after I tried to install another application and it did install successfully, but then I restarted the phone and it was gone along with all pictures I captured at this duration were all gone, so I thought it was a SD card issue and started on trying to figure what was that.
I tried to add, remove files via the PC but after mounting the SD card to the device like there's lock and nothing happened. Tried to format the SD card using the device settings and the PC but still after reconnecting the SD card nothing changed.
Thought perhaps the SD card is broken, so I bought a new one which worked fine before mounting it to the device tried to take a picture and there it was, then I unmounted the SD card and mounted it once more in to the mobile and the picture was gone and the same story happened again. I even tried with another 3 brand new SD card, same story happened.
Please if you know what is that and if there any way to unlock the card tell me what to do.
PS. The microSD adapter isn't locked. And I'm not an android professional I'm a newbie XD
