My SD card won't mount.
It is probably the sbf I'm using. I tried updating my stock rom to official 2.2.2, but when I booted up an SD card icon was in my status bar. When I go into "SD card & phone storage settings", the option to "Mount SD card" is there. But when I press it, it tries to prepare it, and tells me that it is "safe to remove". Back to where I was before.
I tried flashing to Nordic, and other ROMS, but no joy.
What do you recommend?
Should I factory reset when flashing?
Android system recovery doesn't show a problem of mounting the SD card fyi.
ALWAYS wipe before you flash an sbf! I do it from recovery and immediately pull battery and boot into bootloader to flash. I had this SD card issue once while playing with tons of various roms. It has something to do with address mappings being screwed up. I would wipe all from recovery and reflash sbf
Would this also help if I'm getting a sd card not mounted error ? It's mounted but only for a short time... then apps that access the sd card say it's not mounted/ inserted.
Take the card out and check for error's on a pc..

I have loaded up Vegan TAb on my Viewsonic G tablet with no major issues. However, after a file copy it is giving me a "Damaged SD Card" and asking if I want to reformat. I'm taking this to mean it will reformat the internal SD card. Is there anyway to recover without reformatting or should I do a Factory Restore with Clockworks or recover from my initial backup?
Tablet is working fine even with the error message. Any tips or ideas on this issue?
Thanks!
Well to impatient I guess. I went into Clockwork and did a factory restore, but that didn't work. Then I went back into Clockwork into system and mounts and formatted the SD area. Now can boot into Vegan Tab and mount via USB. The drive is wiped clean. I take it that the 13GB's you see is just for data storage and that APP and OS is on a separate partition?
Hi this is my second time coming across this problem, and I'm posting after searching/ googling for an answer. Any help is appreciated.
-I took my factory 16bg micro sd card out of my phone and put it into an SD card adapter which i then placed in my computer.
-using W7 and easus partition master i formatted the card to fat32
-when placed in my phone, the card is not recognized under settings or in cwm
-The card is fully working under linux and windows.
-I rewrote my backup of my sdcard to the newly formatted card thinking the addition of androidsecure would fix the problem. It didnt.
-I reformatted with windows a few times with no avail.
Again, any help would be appreciated as I am at a lost and would not like to have to start over with odin.

EDIT: Problem solved with Panasonics SD card formatting utility. It did a quick format that took all of 3 seconds. Popped it in my phone and it worked.
-I hate opening and immediately closing a thread, so my apologies.
Try reformatting through your phone.
Settings > SD card and phone storage > unmount SD card > format SD card

When I go to that tab under settings, mount sd and format sd are grayed out. It says to insert an sd card. Any thoughts?
Try formatting to fat, not fat32. I think your phone will recognize it afterward and then you can use the phone format tool.
I know that this thread is marked solved, but I had a similar problem that this solution didn't clear up. I re-formatted the sdcard in the phone but, when I boot into recovery, CWM still can't mount it ("Error mounting /sdcard"). This means I can't make a backup, which is going to be a prerequisite for trying out a new rom.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
same issue...
I am having the same issue. I have CWM up but it will not mount the SD card, can't seam to find any real straight forward answer. Any help would be vary helpful.
My sd card is fried. I tried loading it on my pc with no luck. I am planning to go and get another one. However, will the phone still boot without the system files that were on the sd card? If not how can I fix it.
Thanks
"If your problem is that you cannot mount the SDCard (as opposed to being able to mount it but it is empty) I ran into something similar during my 2nd ROM flashing experience. I got into this state by doing a factory wipe from the bootloader screen (as opposed to doing it from recovery). This wiped my entire SDCard partition, even the filesystem on it. So when I booted into Android, it failed to mount the SDCard altogether, saying that it was corrupted.
I had to re-format the SDCard from Windows in order to recover, by doing the following:
1. Boot into recovery (for me was TWRP 2.1.8.1)
2. Select "Mount"
3. Checkmark "Mount SDCard"
4. Connect device to PC via USB cable
5. Select "Mount USB Storage" in TWRP
6. On the PC, find the SDCard's drive in My Computer, right-click on it, and select "Format"
7. Proceed with formatting the SDCard ("Quick Format" is fine)
8. Safely remove the USB storage from Windows
9. Reboot the device
Upon rebooting, the SDCard mounted fine, although all data was erased."

Will this work for me if i get a fresh sd card and follow these steps?
yes, but, make sure you uninstall all apps from the sd card before you insert the new microsd

Well, yes im hoping to get a new fresh sd card with nothing in it. Another thing, I removed the fried sd card and now the phone is booting. I hope it continues with a new sd card in it.
Today i was attempting to partion my SD card so i can install more applications on my phone(i hate the low internal memory i have). Anyhow, i used this tutorial to get it done, and now my SD card wont be recgonized by either my pc or phone, i tried booting into recovery in my phone and partion it trough recovery, all i got was "Mounting of SD card failed!". On Pc it actually picks up that thre is an SD card inserted, but wont read it.
I realize that i need to format it, but there is no option to do so on PC, or at least i cant find it, im guessing a special programm might be needed.
Any ideas?
help! i have an htc one s and i tried to download a rom but when i downloaded it, it stops in the htc logo, i try to do the procedure again but it didint worked. now i cannot enter to recovery and i cant turn on my device. it says sd card cannot mount
you can flash stock recovery and then "clear storage" from bootloader. card should then be mountable
also, if you have an sdcard bu on pc, you could reformat card after you can mount. just to help with future issues
