Hi fellas!
My phone wasn't recognizing any microsd card that I was using (tried with 3 different cards) so I bought a new tray (SIM card and Sd card holder) on eBay. I replaced that but it still doesn't work. I've formatted all cards and still it doesn't recognize any of them. What could be wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Possible fix
I think I might have found a solution for this.
My friend spilled coffee onto her phone, and the SD Card wasn't being detected on the phone either.
Long story short, after rooting the phone, I CWM'ed the phone following these steps, I was trying to find a way install TWRP recovery because CWM doesn't allow terminal or Boot from sideload. After a long search, I've came upon this page
I downloaded the 2.4 TWRP from here and installed it by simply clicking flash from the file and after I rebooted the rom, it worked. If it doesn't work the first time, you might have to try a few times to get it to read.
Hopefully it'll work for you too

Ok.. the other day I had booted my phone into recovery so that I could do a nandroid backup, the backup was completed but when I restarted my phone I got a mess!get saying my ad card was damaged, it prompted to format which did nothing. I took the card out and plugged it into my computer which was able to see it and read the files. I am confused because my comp will read the card and I am able to flash files off the as card thru recovery. I have tried reformatting the card thru my pc and thru recovery but no luck.
I have read through a lot of different threads regarding as cards not reading or cards saying that they are damaged, but I have tried everything and my hero will not read the card and says its damaged.
If anyone has any ideas on what to do plz let me one.
Thanks
time for a new sd card.
I've had this happen to me many times and the file that's always the culprit is the file that contains the small images of web pages for the bookmark widget. Running a check disk in recovery mode fixes the prob right away.
I think the file is bookmark_thumb.1 or something like that.
I had the same thing happen to me on a
8 Gig sd. everytime i hooked to the pc it would ask to format and than would show damaged on my phone. I took mine out for a while and formatted it in my pc. Quick and regular. I used it to transfer files for a while not saying you have to do it this way. I have recently put it back in my hero and it is working fine. Its only a 8gig class 2 card. im looking into a higher class card soon.
Hello,
Everything's been peachy on my G1 for quite some time. I'm rooted running Super D's latest normal ROM. My phone died the other night while I was out. Next morning I booted my phone up and everything was gone. I used app's to SD so there was nothing on my phone, and the error message "SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem". I've searched, yes searched here, google, and elsewhere. I've tried reformatting my SD cards in FAT32 again nothing worked. Every SD card I put in the phone it says the same thing. Factory Data Reset it and everything. My card reader reads every SD I put into my phone.
Is there a fix? What I've been trying to do is flash a different zip onto my phone directly though USB in recovery to see if that's the problem and no success even getting one flashed on.
Thanks for your help!

and much more........
Edit:
Tested all of my SD cards that weren't working in my G1 on my brothers G1 and everything works perfectly fine? Could it be my ROM?
Anyone? I've tried about everything I could possibly think of. Does anyone know how to flash a zip without an sd card present?
I think your SD Card is corrupted, somehow.
What recovery do you have?
What OS do you have, (it would make things easier if you had linux, or could use a ubuntu live disk).
If you can use ubuntu, with a card reader see if you can recover any files at first.
Then use gparted to re-make the partitions on your sd card.
I've got W7U. In my recovery screen it says Build: RA-dream-v1.5.2. My SD Cards read perfectly fine with a card reader and in another G1. So its def. something with my phone or the ROM.

I'm trying brush official rom
Hi everyone,
I am having a severe problem with my external micro sd card and I am looking for a solution. I will try to give as much info as possible here.
Last night I connected my captivate to my pc using USB mass storage. I forgot to disconnect the phone from pc and also forgot to press STOP usb mass storage on my captivate and turned my pc off. By the time I realized, it was too late. So, i disconnected the usb cable from pc. After a few seconds, the captivate's notification showed "media scanner running" as always and started scanning my internal and external SD card.
Just when it said "scanning completed", the phone became unresponsive and went straight to the splash screen. It did not completely reboot the phone but just went straight to the splash screen and turned on again. After turning on, it again started to scan the sd card as usual and the same thing happened again. It started happening again and again in cycles. So i took the battery out and restarted 3 4 times but everytime the phone started and scanned the sd cards (which it normally does) it kept going back to splash screen.
I was running mosaic 3 diet 2.3.3 rom at that time and decided to quickly flash again. So i flashed back to AT&T stock using 1-click ODIN. and everything seemed to be ok. I then, again flashed custom 2.3.3 rom using the CORRECT procedure but it started happening again. So i went back to stock using odin and everything was OK. SD card worked fine. I tried to flash custom rom couple more times with and without the sd card inserted but the issue doesnt go away. I also tried flashing 2.2 rogers STOCK but the problem is still there.
I then took my micro sd card out and that seemed to solve the problem (for custom roms). The phone started working normally again using custom rom but as soon as I inserted the sd card, it wud go back to the splash screen and do a mini restart again.
The only rom that didnt give me any problems with sd card was AT&T's 1-click odin to stock 2.1. no errors or splash screen restarts with STOCK rom.
i also tried different micro sd card but no luck. I tried formatting both internal and external sd cards too. nothing helped.
I hope i provided enough info. Please help
Thanks
can someone please help?
Have you tried mounting it in a card reader and running an fs check on it?

You could do what was started with card reader, and if that doesn't help you could format the sd card after everything is copied from it. If you don't have reader you could probably do adb to dump with phone off. I think it is pull/external.sd (not shore someone should correct me on command soon). To format it is control panel, hardware, and device managment. Then find external sd and format it. You should format with FAT32.( To mount external sd for that I think you could also do from cwm recovery.)...(if need help with any of that just pm me)

It may be different on android, but on my last phone it was highly advised not to format when using the phone as a card reader. I bought a cheap USB model at Newegg for ~$5 that handles more card types than you can shake a baby at. Its proven to be well worth the cash.

Have you tried running the USB mass storage on your device again? I know Ubuntu 10.10 has a cool appliction for formatting and things like that. Ive used it before to fix something, boot it off of a disc too.
Heres some links
Ubuntu cd setup page- http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
How to format something using Ubuntu- http://www.ehow.com/how_4929061_format-hard-drive-ubuntu.html
I would guess that the MicroSD is a FAT32...
I can and I have formatted the sd card several times. Both internal and external sd cards give me this problem.
I was able to mount usb storage once the phone started and while it was scanning my sd cards (which it usually does), i VERY QUICKLY went into settings, connected my usb to pc and mounted the sd card. The phone kept restarting(or going back to splash screen and starting again) while it was mounted. I also noticed that once it was mounted the sd card was completely accessible. i.e, i could delete/copy/transfer etc carry out all functions normally.
I formatted the sd cards using FAT32 (both internal and external too) but it didnt help.
However, after trying many times I was able to run my phone with the MOSAIC DIET III 2.3.3 rom and it has been working since then. But it doesnt work on any other rom right now, specially on Serendipity VII
The phone is working properly as it used to for now but I am afraid it will happen again when I flash another rom or go back to stock.
Any other suggestions?
Honestly, my suggestion if its under warranty us to flash back as close to stock as possible(wipe all caches, master clear, orbital nuke, etc) then take it to att, or purposefully brick it and tell them kies fubared it.

You did remember to remove your external sd card and sim when you did this, right?
I have been flashing since I've got the phone (november 2010) and I have done it numerous times. But I never took out my sim and/or external sd card while flashing any rom or while going back to stock. Never had a problem either. Maybe once or twice I did remove it but only when the intructions for a particular rom specifically asked to do so, otherwise no.
So, no I actually didnt remove the sim and sd card when I flashed back to stock.
Does it matter?
Yes, it can corrupt the sim/sdcard. it's more based on unluck of the draw. I did the flash to gb bootloaders with my sim/external in. I guess I got lucky

While not normally, Anything that is writting this type of stuff to your phone runs the chance of messing up any is in in the phone. I have had my extrenal sd wiped a few times when flashing
Hi everyone, I'm having a big problem with the micro-sd card... Some time ago, notifications stating that the card was incorrectly removed started appearing, usually after reboot it was ok for some time, then it would happen again. I tried formatting the card, running chkdsk and even replaced it twice, but the problem has got worse: now the card is completely unrecognized, neither in settings (it acts as if no card were inside the slot) nor in hboot (doesn't even try to look for PG32IMG, though I find that when I boot to the bootloader with the card in, there's a small delay between when the menu appears and when it becomes responsive) nor in the recovery (E: can't mount /sdcard). I'm able to install roms through the recovery by moving the file to /data and then mounting /data as /sdcard (fastboot might work as well), but I can't do anything else that requires sdcard (eg. camera, downloading files, receiving files via bluetooth and so on). At present I have Nik_Project_X v4.1, Clockworkmod recovery version 5.0.72 (if I remember well) and Revolutionary HBOOT.
Any suggestions? Thanks
Did you try different ROMs? Do other SD-cards work?
Like all good things that come to an end, even SD cards die...
There is no expected life time, so they can die.
Don't think it has anything to do with your phone or ROM, i suggest getting yourself a new one
Yes, I changed rom twice and, as i said, tried at least 3 different sd cards
So if your phone doesn't recognize any SD-cards it seems like your sd-port in the phone is shot... If u can regain warranty, you can send it to htc and if not, good luck finding sb else...
I notice same problem after upgrade to 4.0.4. For me solution is - smaller card and less files in it - 16GB got unusable, half empty 8GB works
That happened to me, it kept saying that the SD card was damaged. So I got it repaired by HTC and it works fine after

I still have that problem with 8-16gb sd cards, only work with 4gb card but that is too small for me, what can i do for that problem?
Even half empty 8gb cards don't work for me
Hi all, my incredible s was working fine till today afternoon when i got a 32gb memory card, and when i first inserted it into my phone it recognized it fine and everything. after unmounting it and reinserting my old 8gb card back in so i can transfer the files over, the memory card started acting weirdly and kept unmounting itself and the phone says "sd card safe to remove" some of the times. the 32gb card failed completely. my warranty is over as well. running latest version of cyanvivox, but that had never caused any sd card problems for me. rebooting did not solve anything either, any help can be given?
I would recommend copying all your files from one card to the next on a computer than turning your phone off, insert the card and boot it up. Should work fine.

had the same problem for monthes. I had gone through all the efforts to fix it like you.
finally I found a clue.
On the back cover, there are two pairs of pins which supposed to connected to
the terminals on the phone, which are not connected well. so I bent the springs
up a little bit and made connection well. (be very careful not break the springs).
then SD card show up right away. It's being working for days and no more
problem.
hope it helps everyone.
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
