Hi all,
This is my first time posting here and i'm a noob at this subjects ^^.
I flashed Cyanogenmod 7.2 at my device and everything worked well for a week or so (despite a heavy battery drain). One day out of nowhere, my sdcard couldn't be recognized anymore, camera said to insert a sdcard, galery said to mount one, file manager didn't find any files in the card, etc.
I thought the sdcard was corrupted so i tried to format it at recovery mode but when i try to format it says "error mounting sdcard". When i connect via USB my phone to the computer, again the sdcard is not recognized.
So.. 2 questions:
Has anyone ever had this problem?
Is my sdcard broken and i have to buy another?
Thanks in advance!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem solved:
The sd card was really broken, not even a reader could recognize him. I buyed a new one and now everything works fine.
Thanks all for the replies.
try to format your sd card, you can copy all your files
and format it then you copy all your files back
or maybe try another sd card
I have been had this problem, but official rom, and I format my sd card
then it's ok
Your sd card has been corrupted.
Try mounting USB storage in CWM then use chkdsk command to repair it.

HI!
I have this problem that when I turn on the file sharing, the computer shows only internal memory card and not the external. Because the phone itself recognizes the external card I have tried to unmount and mount several times without any improvement. I am currently using the latest CM7 nightly, but the problem seemes to have started after I changed the card from 4gb to 16 gb. Any ideas?
EDIT: Erasing sd card from the phones menu helped to solve the problem.
Go Setting>Storage and remount your sd card and try???
I've done that several times....no help... android system accesses the card without problems...music, pics etc.
Did you physically remove your card and reinsert it, or just software remount?
Have you tried the card directly in your computer?
Have a look in windows device manager and see if it reports any problems. (right
click my computer and select manage)
I have tried it all and everything is ok with the sd card itself (I copied recent nightly from the computer on the sd card) also recovery recognizes is... there are also no problems in device manager...
Try to put on debugging mode. And try it with debugging mode on.
If the debugging mode is on try to take it off.

I tried that also and nothing changed.... I have a feeling that it is somehow attached to me using mybackup pro... I restored application apk and data from another phone to this one and It seems that usually the application data should go to internal memory card. In this case it is on external card... so i believe that somehow the programs are still using the card when connected and do not allow phone to share it out... It's just a guess though...
EDIT: so I think the solution is to wipe everything and start all over again
So I fresh installed Rom and wiped everything and the problem still exist... still can see files with file managers in phone and when connected to computer, autorun shows only internal card...
Edit: I tried now 2gb sized sdcard and it works perfectly... the problem is with 16gb card.
Weird. Did you try another USB-port?
I tried different USB-s now and still same I found out that when I connect the phone, under my computer appears two removable disks.... if I turn on the usb connection, only one transforms to usable removable disk (internal) and the other one asks to insert the removable disk. I used the same sd card on my HTC desire with CM nightlies and it worked perfectly... could it be CM-s bug?
Sorry to ask (maby the obvious)
On Your phone.. using your filemanager (Root explorer astro or what-ever..)
Browse to sdcard
Do you have a folder called _externalSD?
On this phone, for some reason the external SD is not mounted under./ but as i said under ./sdcard/ (i.e its mounted under the internal SD card..)
Just a thought
Where the different cards are mounted doesn't make any difference. And as he said, it works with other cards (2GB and 4GB).
CyanogenMOD mounts internal card as /mnt/emmc, and external card as /mnt/sdcard by default.
When turning on USB storage, both cards should be unmounted and shared over USB.
Hi, I had the same problem with mine, and as you said in one of your previous posts, I had to do a format through the phone and as soon as I did that I was good to go.
I did use the same memory card in my old hero so this might have something to do with it... I'm not sure.
By formatting do you mean from the menu Erase SD card? On the desire I actually had the formatting request from the computer, but there was another problem (some of the rom's files were on the sdcards ext or something and I had no access to the card from the USB).... kind of a similar problem if I think back now but after changing to CM, the problem disappeared.
I forgot to mention I am running completely stock rom and unrooted (for the time being) and there is just an option under sd card & phone storage setting to format external sd card
After erasing the sd card from the phone, the computer recognized it i'm currently copying stuff back and i'm pretty sure it does not affect the recognition
I faced the same problem. I had Swapper2 on my NC, and after I uninstalled it (and cleared the data of Swapper2, just in case) everything went to normal back again.
^ a solution.
Hi,
My phone is not able to detect my SD card, All i did was copy a file from a friends laptop using HTC Desire HD data cable... Now my phone wont detect the SD card... Internal memory is detected normally... The SD card is detected normally on my friends Phone, however its not working on mine...
I though it was a software issue, so I reflashed stock JVQ and then Darky's ROM however it still wont show... Any other SD card is detected normally on my Phone, however mine wont get detected no matter what i do...
Any ideas what happened... I only copied a video file... I've even deleted the file and tried however it still doesn't work...
Pls Help!!!
have you checked to see if the card is mounted?
Did u try rescan sdcard?

Press thanks if this helps
Does it read in a PC?
If so copy contents off onto PC, reformat SD card as FAT32, then copy contents back over.
Try to format the card on your PC.

I've got the card formatted on my friends phone and then gave it an shot... however it still didn't work... Not sure what else can be done... any other card works fine...
What company and class is your sd card?
same problem.
I've had the same problem. It seems to occur when you disconnect the USB cable from you're phone while files are being transferred. Though I've also had this problem multiple times when the USB cable wasn't even connected to my phone.
You can try to use a microSD-to-usb-converter to backup the files and format it with 'SD Formatter 3.0' from sdcard.org (I'm not permitted to post links yet). Then try to format the microSD again with you're phone and it should work. I recommend you don't put any backupped files back on your microSD since they could have corrupted the microSDcard's filesystem.

Thanks for the reply mate, however i've switched my SD card with a friends card and his card is working fine now... Also, my card seems to be working fine on his cell... So problem solved...
hello,
I'm currently facing an issue during the night my SDcard has disappeared from my sgs. i've pushed it out waited then push in she's not detected, when i plug the sdcard on my computer i can access all files on it. I've shutdown my sgs, booted it, then plugged the sdcard but still in error. I've plugged another sdcard and she is detected. the strange think is i can't do anything with the first one, in settings, sdcard she is not detected and i can't mount it or format it. does someone already faced this issue and found a way to solve it ?
Did you try formatting it on your desktop computer? (backup contents first ofcourse)
card reader
get a card reader, and format it from ur computer..that will resolve the problem..
already done with hptools without success

I you want to use your sd you shouldnt be using cm7 (even nightly) they said they fixed this prob but they didnt.. It is a known problem on cyanogenmod.com and nobody knows the solution (yet). I had the same prob.. It seems that cm doesnt reconise high capacity cards..
Orrr..
You haven't taken a look at emmc ( the ext sd is not on external_sd as it was on Samsung firm and custom ROMs (based on Samsung?)
the problem have appeared on samfirware jw1, the card was working perfectly but suddently disappeared. For cm7 i've looked on emmc and same issue with mount cmd to check what is mounted i don't see it in cm7 or jw1. i've try the card on my old omnia and don't show it also apperently the card is dead for phone but not for pc
Hi,
I flashed CM 10 (latest build) yesterday night on my Bell HTC Raider 4G LTE after doing all the steps from unlocking the bootloader, to S-OFF, etc.. and all went fine. I tried to install Swiftkey but could not because it always ask for SD Card which I already have in the device. I can see the SD mount from OI File manager. Although it has some files in it, I cannot see them. I tried to run the camera, and I got the same issue asking for SD card. I hope you can help. Is there a way at least to make the internal SD take place of the external one.
This is the structure I have in my phone:
/mnt/external_sd/ (removable SD card)
/mnt/sdcard/ (empty)
/storage/sdcard0/ (empty)
/storage/sdcard1/ (removable SD card too)
/external_sd/ (again removable SD card)
There is no directory /mnt/emmc/

I've been having the same problem with CM10 after the last build. It will see the SD card on the phone using file manager, but will not mount the SD card as a drive when connected to my Windows machine (internal storage connects fine). Another Undocumented Feature?

This is a known issue with cyanmod 10. Update to the latest CM10 or just flash another rom, till the issue gets sorted out.
you can change the mounting type to MTP and it'll mount both at the same time. also, after you connect it and click the "mount" option on the phone, it mounts one of the cards, and then if you dismount it and remount it, it'll be the other card.
:crying:Can anybody help me..plz??

I will suggest you to wipe everything and install a stock rom, vibeui or row, and if it still doesn't detect cards than probably it is a hardware thing.

I had Limonchello Mod 5.0, first off the Blutooth, then the Wi-Fi stopped, then the SD-Card Issue.
I fortunately had a backup, so via TeamWin re-installed Limochello, then again the SD Card issue.
You have to go to Mount, and be sure that the SD-Card is mounted in TeamWin, helped me in the end.
And I don't think this is necassary to say:
Backup everything 1st.
Shut Down, HOLD Volume Up and DOWN and POWER until entering to Teamwin.
Check if SD-Card is mounted in options, in MOUNT.... Reboot.
Cheers, hope it helps.
EDIT:
Be sure to when restarted, Settings, Storage - try to Mount the SD Card if it's now availible. Restart again.
Cheers.
Another thing you could try is to have the SD Card in your phone, and via USB connect to PC, see if it'll find your Phone and SD Storage...
Rock and Roll!!!
I guess it's a recovery issue. I have the same problem. My sdcard shows when I connect phone to PC. My CWM recovery has been acting strange lately. It gave me a bootloop when I tried to flash gapps and sdcard is not mounted, when I try to mount it gives me an error. I am going to flash stock ROW ROM and recovery to get back my warranty soon so it doesn't matter.
