I can't get the phone to recognize the SD card while in CM7. It says it is damaged or needs to be formatted. I have formatted the card with SDFormatter and it seemed to work fine..but nada as far as regaining functionality. Anyone have any suggestions as to how to make my sd card usable again?
The card is spent. You'll have to get a new one

Can you mount it in the ROM?
does it work as normal when in a SDcard reader?
have you tried a second card to see if it works?

Hello,
My Desire S is running on rom BlindMIUI_v2.5.25 which I loaded June 5th of this month. Suddenly since 3 days back it is saying "Damaged SD card storage" and also saying "Format USB storage, erasing all files stored there, action cannot be reversed"
Please advise should I format SD card? Will this solve the problem. If I format then I will try to save files and then will do it and restore the file again.
What happen is that if I reboot is for few time the SD card comes again and for no reason I disappear without any notice.
Please help me if there is any solution.

Looks like It's corrupted. A format should fix it. Connect it to your computer via a memory card reader or mount it in recovery and backup everything to your computer if possible. Then do a full format of the card (uncheck quick format in Windows). After that use the 'format sdcard' option in recovery and then copy the backed up data to the phone.

Hello sashank,
Thanks for so prompt response. See I have just inserted another SD card and now phone does not get any SD card. It says "SD card is not available". From this it seems to me it is rom problem not the SD card. Am I correct? Should I change the rom and go for a newer version which is MIUI.us-2.6.8 or just a format will do?
Please advise.

Hello darkion,
The phone is giving the option to format it. Should I do the format through phone or is there any other way to do it. Please advise me in details.
Would appreciate your help.
If your phone is giving an option to format it then use it. I find it strange that it didn't detect the other SD card too, but in any case if it's asking you to format it instead of just not detecting it then it doesn't seem like an issue with the card slot. So format it in the phone and see how it goes. Alternatively, go into recovery-wipe and format-format sdcard. I always use this for formatting my card as it works better then formatting it in the ROM itself, especially when my card gets corrupted.

You should not forget to simply clean your sd-card and the slot in your device a little bit. This might be an easy solution, you should at least try it.
Or maybe you've already done .. ?

Hello sashank,
What I did is I formatted it in the PC so as in recovery as you said in the earlier response. The phone give the option but it does not work so I could not formatted it through phone.
It seems like working now. Phone shows there is SD card and through file explorer I can go to SD cards file. But only thing is that when I go to SD card files through file explorer, it take few seconds to retrieve the SD card files which never happened before.
Thanks for all your help.
Ok, when you format it in the PC, if you're using Windows, choose a cluster size of 32k in the format window. It gives a better read and write speed, especially read speed. So the SD card shouldn't take that long to show files. In general you'll see the card is giving faster speeds, both on the phone and when transferring files from the computer.
Also there's another way to increase the read speed of the SD card in the phone, which is by setting a higher read ahead speed. If you want to know more you can search about it, but otherwise just install this app SD Speed Increase, set your read ahead speed to 2048kB and tick 'set on every boot'. You shouldn't feel any SD lags after this. This speed increase is only on the phone though, won't reflect if you're transferring files from a computer. You need to be rooted for this to work.
I have the card in the phone and it was reading it just fine. I turned the phone on and off and it will not read the SD card now.
I tried to
1. turn it on and off again
2. open the back and re insert the card.
3. I tried to go to settings and mount the card but it says the card is not present
4. I used the card on my PC and it can read it fine.
Thanks for the help
bump?
Anyone? I would appreciate some ideas

The sd card my just be broken. Where did you get it from? Was it used before? Send a link of the sd card that you have.
Have you copied the contents of your sd card onto your computer, formatted the sd card to Fat32, then copied those files back onto your sd card?
This should fix you up...
1) Power down phone
2) Remove card
3) Mount the card in a card reader on a Windows machine and have it do an error check (and automatically fix file system errors).
4) While Windows is scanning your card, boot your phone with an empty card slot and then shut it down again after the boot is complete.
5) When Windows has finished repairing the card, reinsert in phone and boot normally. If it was not a physical problem with the card it should work again.

I had nothing on the card and formatted just before I put it in the G 3. It was working for the 1st day. Then it was not working. I then reformatted it again in my pc but it still was not being read.

So, I've been having this issue for quite a while. My SD card... which is 8GB, is now ONLY read my phone as 2GB flat. Its an issue with my phone, because I've tried inserting a 2GB SD card, and I only get about 200MB. Now, I've tried switching my ROM, MANY times. I've wiped my system and data caches MANY MANY times as well. Even flashed the new blackhole super wipe, or something.. AND FSC gremlin remover.. So, I'm really at a loss here.. so if anyone who can help, or give me some suggestions... I'll be glad to hear them. Thanks!
P.S I don't think the class of my SD matters... since it was properly working before.

have you inserted it into the PC yet?
if the size of your SD (8GB) is indicated on the PC, then try to format your SD using MiniTool Partition Wizard...

Hmm... Thanks for the suggestion, but my PC doesn't have a slot for an SD card. Or did you mean connect it while its in my phone?
When I plugged my sd card to my memory card reader, It wants me to reformat the card to be able to use it. I said ok that's easy because I've tried it before but then It says windows unsuccessfully format the sd card. I've tried a lot of things like using the command prompt, device manager etc but to NO avail, I still cannot reformat it. Now I cannot make partitions for my apps. PLease do help me.. thanks.
HOW CAN I REFORMAT MY SD CARD?
Most likely, you might have write protection on. You can disable it by getting the Micro SD card adapter and sliding it back to off.

Ditto what sanjay said.
I bought a new sd card for my dinc. I tried to format it but Windows said it could not format. I was able to use the card anyway as I later learned that the card came pre-formatted.
So my phone doesn't detect my SD card at all. I've tried almost everything. I cleaned the card, tried to solve the problem on the device and looked for my phone compatibilities with the SD. It is a Kingston SD card and my phone does not detect anything when i put my SD in it. So if anyone nas an ideja what the problem could be please help. Thanks..

Maybe you should try the easy option first, check if the phone detects another sd card, if so, the problem is in your Kingston SD Card and you must take it to the warranty.
