As your SD Card wont mount in your Phone and your PC I think its a problem of your SD Card and you will have to format it anyway After formatting try to recover the deleted files using a recovery software like this. I am not 100% sure of success. But I dont think you have any other choice. Good Luck and hope it helps.

Hi all. I've been doing some research on this for some time now, and I haven't been able to find anything of relevance.
I have a 32GB Kingston microSD card that my phone cannot read. I get the following error:
"Bank External SD card
SD card blank or has unsupported file system."
When I try to format it with my Galaxy [2.2 legit froyo], it will still not let me mount it. Now this SD card may be FAT32 or it maybe NTFS - I'm not too sure, but which ever one it is, my phone doesn't like!
I don't know how to access this memory card via my computer, I was wondering if there was a fix for this or if there was a program on the Market that will allow me to format back and forth with NFTS and FAT32 through my phone?
I've tried everything, whatever I do just does no work, so please don't be telling me to make sure I've put it in correctly or take it out and put it back in because they simply do not work.
Thanks in advance...
No? Bump... Please help me, I hate having no space on my phone!
Try using a card reader and see if shows up on the computer. Sd formatter has worked for me before to bring an unresponsive card back. Do a google for sd formatter.

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?

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.

Hi,
i'm having serious problems with the SD card on my Milestone. Let me explain :
1. If i try any generic app which tries to access the SD card, it says it's not there (Camera says "Please insert a SD card", other apps say similar warnings).And i can't use "update.zip" on recovery mode
2. Settings>SD card & phone storage says Unavailable to everything, like if the card is not mounted.
3. Recovery mode say "can't open /cache/recovery/command"
Any ideas ?
Try cleaning the gold contacts on the sd card an the sd card holder...
Also try seeing if the sd card works on an external sd card reader
Hope this helps

If it works fine in a card reader, it might be the card slot in the Milestone that might be broken.

Have you ever been brick sdcard? Also possible that so many people use android brick sdcard failed. I think the milestone card reader works fine: (
I would recommend taking your SD card, backing up the contents to your computer, and then doing a non-quick format on the SD card. There's something corrupt about the filesystem of the SD card that the phone does not like, and a format of the SD card should repair things again.

What format are you putting it in? If it is in NTFS, I believe it will not recognize it.

No,i format with Fat32. It still not recognize Milestone don't have bootloader. If have it,i can fix
So just today I got my phone working with CM 9 and everything works but the phone wont accept my SD card data.
If I go to the gallery it says I need a SD card, so it didn't recognize it but if I go to the file manager I can open my SD card and see all my files it I still can't access them. For example a song I had on the SD card I can see it but it won't let me listen to it.
I'm sure that the SD card isn't broken or anything it works fine on other phones and it did work on this phone until I installed CM 9.
Does anyone know of a solution?

There's two ways to do it first I suggest you back up the files to your PC then place you sdcard back in your phone go to storage and format the external card that way or once you've backed up the sdcard whilst it is still connected to our PC right click on our sdcard and format should list of options
