Ok, so I had a HTC Thunderbolt with Verizon. I have had my 16GB Micro SD card for awhile. We switched to TMobile, placed my card into a LG G2X and WHAM! NOTHING! No phone will read it, my laptop or desktop won't read it. However the phones (old and new) and computers read the 2GB card T-Mobile sent with my Sensation.
I have photos and videos of my kids on the 16gb card and I am just beside myself that I have lost them....or so I think. Any advice or help someone can give me? Thanks!!
Also this card doesn't work in ANY phones and the computer doesnt even say there is a card...like it doesn't exist?

Sorry but i think your card is fu....up. Next time you better make a backup before you take out the card of your phone. Sometimes they die when you take them out. Don't know why it is like that but you are not the only one with this problem. There are some threads about this maybe somebody found a way to get your data back. Make a search here in XDA about "sd card problem" maybe you find something.
Good luck

If you have a custom recovery on your phone you can try this:
Put the card in your phone and boot into recovery.
Connect phone to PC open a command promt and type:
adb shell (press enter)
mount /sdcard (press enter)
cd sdcard (press enter)
ls (press enter)
If you can see the data on the card type:
exit (press enter)
Open a new command prompt and type:
adb pull /sdcard/ C:\sdcard\ (press enter)
Hope it works. If it doesn't work and you realy need your data back try to contact a data recovery company.

Did you encrypted your SD card using your phone? Setting>>security>>encrypted sc card
If yes, then that is the reason why other device can not read it. Its already locked to your device only.

Nice but scary option. Doesn't appear on my CM7 settings so assume it's on stock.
I had a issue similar to this.... Corrupted. Got a new SD through HTC. Didn't cost a thing and was here in three days. It worked perfectly. They said my SD was defected.

It's not the original Sensation card (looks like 2GB) that's the issue. It's the 16GB that looks like it has the issue. Guessing it's a separate purchase.
@ryansgirl101302, Have you got a microSD card reader, if so what happens when you use that directly, ignoring any phones. If nothing else it should come back (on a PC) and say something like corrupted, Format Now ? DON'T DO THAT YET.
I had an issue on a SD card in the Sensation, that needed a full re-format, only switched the dammed phone off :-(( I've also had two other microSD cards that worked fine then complete and utter failure, PC/Linux/Phone all found it impossible to fix.
BTW was the 16GB, partitioned with an additional ext or just a single FAT partition.
Nothing reads it. It's like it doesn't exist. It's not the card reader because other ad cards read fine. The first time I put it in the gx2 from that point on not the g2x or anything could read it. It doesn't do anything. When in the phone the phone doesn't even know its in there.

As a previous post said, FU'd by the looks of it. The big microSD card failures i had were catastrophic failures, the mini one I had needed a reformat, which I did through CWM, and added a ext partition at the same time.
Sorry but I don't think I can help from here, others might but I'm out.

I recently installed cm7 On my phone and it says that my SD Card is damaged and can't be read, so I formatted it and it still can't be read,does anyone know how to fix this
what i find fixes mine is, going to my computer and right clicking on the sd card and go to property, then scan and fix errors.
I also experience this issue on a regular basis. I think the issue is with formatting, and the way i always fix it is reformatting in windows to FAT32. If i format in Mac it never works, has to be windows. It makes no sense, but thats my experience with the problem.

I have done this also - try that first. If another device reads the card OK - it does not need reformatting.
That happened to mine too...Need to buy another 8gb one.
I just pop it out and back in and it usually wakes back up but sometimes it takes a reboot

Had the Sensation since launch and loved it from the start. But in August I got this mysterious SD card removed. And it would never detect the SD card again. No matter what I did. Removing it. Factory reset. The only solution that worked was it could detect any other SD card but that one. So I used my spare. And now it has happened again.
I cannot fix it and out of spares so I turn to you. Is there a solution for this?
In the event that there isn't a solution I'm fine with using my phone storage(Only used SD for music) but I cannot set the phone storage as the default for anything. It always says SD card needed.
But ony brothers Amaze he got the SD card error like I did. But his phone automatically switched to phone storage.
Any suggestions?

Weird situation, can't even reformat in your phone? See if anyone around has one to lend you and reformat it if possible!
I've Google searched the problem and s couple of other people have had this problem too. But no solutions.
Is there any way to make the phone storage the default storage??

If it helps when I insert the SD card it says preparing. Then right after it says SD removed. And that's that

I got the same problem today and i can't use my sd-card
Edit: After connecting my card to the computer and fixing issues with the files on the card, my phone is accepting the card again
Will backup important files and format the SD Card for best performance and to get rid of old unused files.
OK, so people talk about boot manager a lot, and something just came to mind... what would happen to the phone it you were booted into an SD card ROM, and the card was unmounted by accident? This could be a problem!
Sent from my Sensation using XDA
my guess is the phone will probably freeze or reboot, possible into recovery, if the sd was taken out. i dont think it would continue from the cache. if that happens you would need to go into recovery and apply the Rom Manager created update.zip found at /sdcard/BootManager/phoneRom once that finishes the phone will boot into the rom it has installed on the phone itself. i see using Rom Manager as a way to test potential roms anyway not to continue using from the card. especially if the card is class 4 or below. anyway, just dont remove the card and no worries
Thanks, that makes sense! But my issue is that infrequently, but it does happen, the memory card will RANDOMLY unmount... and then I have to remove it and plug it back in...

I also have issued with my new 32gb class 6, what I find is there will be corrupt file on SD card just few but make the phone always unmount. To solve the issues I have try format with various software and method. Even try using SDFormat tool but it will have same problem. After a lot of try I think I have a solution.
Format the microsd card on Storage Setting [ Settings > Storage > SD card > Unmount > Format ]. I also find the micro sd card can't be defrag or alter with computer.
I usually defrag with Defraggler, and it's always unmount. I think the phone can't really handle sdcard with class 6 and above because don't have issued with my other's class 4 card.
The Stock ROM I find always have issued than Custom ROM
Please backup or copy your file first to computer or other storage then copy back.
Just my 2 cent, do at your own risk.
Ok so I used the juopuntbear bear method to get s-off but now my Sd cards don't work. I know it wipes the Sd card but it doesn't work with my other one either. I tried using the adapter and the red light came on but the only thing that came up is that the USB mass storage device is safe to eject. Is it the room on my phone or the hboot etc ?

But the computer only picks it up as a temporary file thing and the only option is to eject it and nothing else. In the phone there's an option to format it but that just stays formatting for ages and does nothing.

It looks like your sd card is corrupted. I would suggest using SD Formatter : it is a good tool for fixing corrupted sd cards and gives you lots of options.

connect your phone to computer, Toggle USB mode in 4EXT Recovery, and your phone will act as a microSD card reader. You can do anything you want from there. =)

If the card cannot be mounted, both of these won't work.
Your best bet is to use a card reader & try different methods of connecting.
First put the SD Card in & then connect card reader, first connect card reader then put SD Card in, etc.
Usually, even a corrupted SD Card shows up on a PC.
If it does, use the format option. If "Windows was unable to format the drive", then go to Disk Management & format it from there.
If the PC is unable to detect it, then it's some kind of hardware fault & to the best of my knowledge, nothing will be able to fix that. All you can do is try wiping the contacts if they are dirty, but I doubt that would cause such a problem.
it will still work even if SD card cannot be mount.
Juopunutbear's S-OFF method sort of corrupted my SD card and i used Toggle USB mode method to format my SD card

A corrupted SD Card can still be mounted.
If the SD Card cannot be mounted in recovery, there is no question of trying to Toggle USB Storage or formatting it.
His case seems different.
wow i recover my files
hi guys, i had same problem, but then i set this sandisk ultra to my nokia xpress music and there was everything,,, my arc s cant open it anymore but nokia opens... try to reset your sd s to others phone...
I use 4EXT for my loader. If you have another loader you can try on that as well, boot into Recovery Mode and try to format the SD Card for there. 4EXT formatted my SD Card even though it couldn't mount it. Then it worked just fine.
