I was cleaning up house and wanted to reformat the SD-Card (internal storage) of my nexus s. I Formatted using Clockwork Recovery and now the SD Card will not mount via recovery. I can mount it on the computer and have reformatted with both my mac and windows machine. Still phone wont see that partition. Any suggestions? Thanks
[Solved]
Restored via Samsung RUU, rebooted into stock setup and Re-formatted the card

I was trying to flash a stock rom and wiped the dalvik cache and the cwm couldnt mount or format my sd card. Android and windows could so i umounted the card and formatted it in android. Now I cant mount the card and it says "blank or unsupported file format".what do i do?

I had this problem when I first got my phone, before I even flashed a thing. It ended up just being a junk SD card. I ended up formatting the card like seven times (with the phone a few and in windows a few) -- in the end it wouldn't format at all and failed every time. I called Verizon to get it replaced and they redirected to me SanDisk. I had to send the card back for a replacement.
I formatted my sd card from cwr accidentally after I factory resetted the phone. Now my phone is bricked (white HTC screen) and recovery can't seem find the sd card. I can get to the bootloader and the recovery using the androidcontral 1.3 but since the recovery can't read the sd card I can't do anything. I tried the RUU but I get error less then 30% battery even though its fully charged. I tried to repartition the sd card but I don't know the ext size or the swap. I tried to copy the cleardroid zip to sd card and it seem to do it but the recovery can't find it. I tried to copy pd98img.zip to sd and use hboot but it doesn't seem to read it. Can anyone help?
I would try reformatting your card on a computer. Don't do the quick format if your in windows unchecked that. Make sure it formats to fat32. Put the pd98img.zip on and try again. Your card may have crapped out too try another one if you have it handy. Also while in recovery try mounting and unmounting the SD a couple times under mounts and storage

I wanted to wipe my phone entirely and start clean before installing Virtuous Inq but I messed up somehow and now my SD Card won't mount. I had MIUI running on my HTC Sensation.
Here's what I did to my phone today -
1. First I copied my entire SD card to my computer.
2. Next I formated my SD card and deleted everything on my phone.
3. Then I went into Clockwork and Wiped Date/Factory reset.
I was hoping it would bring me to Stock but that didn't happen. It just reset MIUI. Then when I tried to mount my SD it just says I can remove even when I click mount.
Anyone know what I can do?

I suspect the problem was in the formatting of your SD card. For the phone to mount it you probably need it formatted as FAT32. Did you format using a computer? Win/Mac/Linux?

This is the same SD card that I got w/ the Sensation. I never had to format or do anything to it.
OK, but you said in your original post that you formatted the SD card (item 2). If you formatted the SD card using a filesystem other than FAT32 (e.g. NTFS or HFS+) then your phone won't be able to mount it - that was what came to mind.
Have you tried to remount it using adb?
CODE: mount -o rw,remount -t /sdcard

Please see the above thread. I think the trick may be you need to insert the formatted sd card into the phone while its running VI.

Well I formatted the SD card with MIUI I thought that would wipe it clean so I start a new basically. Apparently that wasn't the case.

No because I don't have a Micro SD Card Reader. Without that am I pretty much screwed...?

I don't have a Micro SD Card Reader. Does that mean I have no other options?
Bump. Character Limit.
What ROM recovery are using right now. If you are using 4EXT Recovery it have format tools on the recovery. If CWM wipe the sd card is same as format. Or you can't just mount the card using ROM recovery and format on PC.
I had the same problem with the SD card. Formatting in CWM didn't help.
Resolved it by these steps:
1. Format the new SD card with fat32 on pc.
2. Switch off the phone and remove the battery.
3. Insert the new SD and the battery back.
4. Power on in recovery mode (volume down+power).
5. Find "Partition SD card" and partition it with 64KB (CWM will partition the SD to 4GB). It should do the Mounting.
6. Reboot the phone normally.
7. Go to Settings>Storage. It should be showing 4GB free space on SD.
8. In storage options pick "Unmount SD card" and then pick "Erase SD card" in same menu, Don't remove the card from phone!!! , it shoud bring SD back to original storage.
9. Mount SD back and copy back the data from the original SD.
Hope it'll be heplful.
So I got the 32Gb samsung Sd card. Had a 16Gb in my phone. Wife had 8Gb in her skyrocket. Took my 16Gb card, copied all data to PC, then put 32Gb in my phone. Copied all data from pc to new 32Gb card on my phone. All good. Then took wifes phone, copied all data to pc. Installed my 16Gb in her phone, erased all data. Installed all her data off pc to 16Gb card. All seems good. We both have the Skyrocket SGIII R4 on phones with CWM recovery. HER phone will recognized SD card in CWM. MY phone cant mount SD card in CWM. Why wont my phone with new SD see it in CWM? Do I need to format it through windows?
SD card works in all other aspects...connects to windows, restores from mybackup pro....Put the 16Gb back in my phone with all her data, and CWM will let me install fron SD card.
What format is the sdcard on, fat32?

And make sure the microsd clicks with the spring when you insert it on your phone.

Haha nice, I had a problem with the later CWM not detecting my sdcard so I went and flashed back to the old one and it worked just fine, didnt really have to remount but I guess that was needed on your end. :good:
Hey Guys,
My Phone is a Nexus S with CM-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-crespo. + CWM Recovery.
Today i have tried to partition my internal sd card, (the nexus s have only the internal sd Card), because i wanted to install the Link2SD app which need a ext4 partition to link the programfiles.
What i Did:
1. Connet the Phone via USB to Computer
2. Mount sd Card
3. Run Minitool Partition Wizard on Windows
4. Delete the Partition on the SD Card
5. Create a Partition, 13GB, Primary, FAT32 for media files
6. Create a Partition 1 GB, Primary ext4, for the programfiles.
7. Restarted the Phone
The Phone is still working, but i dont see the SD Card anymore on my Andorid device. I have also tried to Mount the sd card in the CWM. I tried to do a factory reset and checked the box "format sd card)
Did not work
Can you please help me? How could i restore the lost party of my internal sd card?
Thanks,
Magor

You have put your self in a major mess. You should have partitioned the SD card using CWM. Now you can try to partition SD card using CWM just forget the 1Gb partion that you lost.
