remove the card from the phone first. reboot. put the card back in. go and delete all the partitions on your card using your partition program. Recreate the FAT32 and EXT2 partitions.
sd card wont mount/g1 wont....
Maybe the g1 has a headache!
Keep an eye on the sdcard by going to menu.settings.sdcard... that should tell you the status. Re-boot usually gets rid of all my problems if my phone does not read my card for watever reason.

Its been a while since I fooled around with the sdcard and usb... but... I do remember installing some drivers for something or another (let me see what it was and if it is related some how... ) ill get back to you....
ok.thanx.do you mean the adb interface drivers??because i have that installed
try turning on USB debugging
yea, I'm having the same problem. The phone wont read the fat32 partition but it'll read the ext2. Trying to fix it tonight though.
If you are using ubuntu partition editor that will happen.. happened to me a good amount of times. Try formating it on a windows machine as a Fat32 and replug it on linux and it should work. That's what worked for me... took a couple of attempts... good luck!
hope you had backup your sd card
well i got my card working again.i think something went wrong when i partioned it and maybe it had something to do with the theme.i put the dreaimg.nbh and the update folder and luckily the phone read it.so it put me back to jf 1.30 rc30.so then i went back and updated.but as soon as the theme got erased everything went back to normal
Try this if you have windows, it worked for me, finally.
Use disk management:
Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management
In Computer Management, click "Disk Management" on the left which is under "Storage." In the lower portion on the right, you should see a list of all the volumes. Right-click on the one you want to format and click "Format"
If it is a removeable drive you want to format, use "Removable Storage" under "Storage" instead of "Disk Management."

Thanks to: http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/44545/
Yeah, even paragon partition manager was reading it wrong, but windows disk management was able to format it back to fat32 without any problem.

I installed this driver today to do the custom splash screen. And now, my computer does not recognize the phone as a USB storage device.
When I plug in the phone, I get the "mount/don't mount" option. I chose mount. When I go into My Computer, the phones MicroSD card isn't there?
Any ideas?
I just uninstalled the driver and it works fine again.

i tried to upload it with no sd card ad it stuck on the HTC screen.
i cant format the sd card by the recovery.
HELP!!

do you have an sdcard reader so you can try useing the card on the computer without the phone if not try taking the card out then going into recovery putting the card back in and then go into recovery again and try to format that worked once for me

SD card stuck at searching for errors

Hey guys,
I need a lil help! Searched all over but couldnt find a solution. So I was trying to go back to stock. I formatted my SDcard via gparted to FAT32 and rebooted my phone into bootloader. Flashed an SBF with sbf_flash. Now when my phone starts up the SD card is stuck at Preparing SD card searching for errors. If I allow my screen to time out, it gets stuck and pressing the unlock button only gives me flashing lights for the buttons below. I remember some other people having this problem but for me I think it has specifically to do with the SD card because when I remove it and boot everything seems to be fine.
So I tried connecting the phone via USB to my computer. I set the screen to never time out to avoid the black screen and flashing lights thingy. Gparted does not recognize the SDcard, when I select mass storage. Strangely the disk utility in ubuntu recognizes that something is mounted /dev/sdb/ but cannot format or anything and it doesnt show the size of the directory.
In the phone options the card is not mounted so I cannot format via the phone. I dont own a carder reader and where I live itll be really hard to find one. I tried on a windows computer but that didnt recognize the phone at all.
One thing though, I rooted the phone and I can get into adb shell. In adb it shows me an /sdcard/ directory. I was wondering is there any way I can format my SD card using adb?
Thanks for all the help! Cheers!
Never mind, I fixed it. Seems like rooting and logging into adb shell did something to mount it in the phone. Thanks!

Hello guys. I am a first time rooter. I followed this root guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084 all worked and I have tried 3 different roms. The only thing that faile dto work was Gparted, it does not recognise my SD card. I only see my PC HD.
I have tried restarting it, using a different SD card but still the same issue. The whole point of me rooting my desire was so that I could free up space. Is there another simple program I can use to partition my SD?
Thanks
Ryan
I use MiniTool Partition Wizard to partition my SD cards. I like it better than GParted b/c you can format an EXT partition without any data loss on the FAT partition.

[Q] Micro SD card problem

Hello all and everyone who may be able to help me out! I recently got a new phone (galaxy nexus) and decided to root and s-off my evo 3d. After another sad fail at s-off, my sd card was acting up. When its in a phone, it will say the card is blank or it is using an unsupported file system. Upon formatting option nothing happens. When i insert the sdcard into an adapter and put it into my computer, i can navigate to my computer and when i try to get into the drive, "my computer" crashes and i have to remove the card to get back to the start screen. I can use the drive for other things but it just wont read this card and makes the computer freeze. ive tried programs and whenever i try to select the drive, again the program im using crashes. Other cards work fine so it seems the card itself is the problem. worked fine before. Can anyone help me out here?
Had a similar problem a while back seems i had forgot to remove the password before plugging the card into my pc. Not sure how that will help you here tho.
replace the card and check if it is working than the card is defected

Is your phone able to read/detect your card?
If yes then:
Go to Phone Settings> Storage Settings> Unmount SD card> Erase SD card.
Report if that works.
If it's dead, most reputable manufacturers offer a warranty on their cards. Go to their website & look up the procedure for getting an RMA. That's much cheaper than buying a new card.

When the cards in my phone, it gives a notification saying that is an unsupported file system or that it is A blank SD card. When it is in the phone it will not let me erase. when I select Format, it's just kind of stops. and if I select it again, nothing. Can't use unmount or mount as they are greyed out. Wish I could format it.

I had a similar problem figuring out that moving Apps to external sd and then removing this sdcard CAN DESTROY the sdcard controller - better unmount card then remove it or switch phone off and remove it !
Even more worst - it's still working sometimes on any PC with adapter - if you have warranty on that sdcard i would replace it in the store bought !

ive had SD cards fail a few times without rhyme or reason, but corrupted data by doing the above more than once.

Maybe i had luck - but since the failure i have been very carefully !
Nowadays sdcards should beeing built that writing more than 100000 times should be possible - so such an error should also not occur
but what the sdcards are very sensitive is heat - temperatures above 55 ° C (131 F) is almost a no go! (or increasing failure rate drastically !)

No when this failure appears - formatting is not possible anymore - the "controller" inside the sdcard is defect !
After searching a lot in XDA, I found a thread which can help you.

Just by replying with some information your helping me out. I have tried many SD card repair tools but when the card is in my computer, and if I do anything related to the card, the program just crashes until I pull the card out. I will post a video later. I've never seen this before. If nothing works I'm just gonna get another.

[Q] SD card will not read in ROM

My phone is rejecting my SD card for no reason, it has been working but after plugging it into a computer to transfer files it no longer recognizes my memory card,it keeps saying blank or SD card ejected, i know it works as I have flashed to a different ROM and back with no success of getting rid of the issue, it seem that only within a ROM it cannot read it, cheers in advance.
