[Q] SD card not mounting? - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so, I recently bought a new sd card for my shift. I plugged it in to my phone and as my phone booted up, it says that the sd card is safe to remove. I found that weird. So I went into settings and tried to mount the sd card that way. Same message. Can someone help? I dont know what the problem is.

You should Format the SD Card before you use it.

Wow. I was having formatting issues but turns out the switch on my SD adapter was set so that writing was locked. Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Is the sd card loose in it's casing?
What have your tried?
Tried SD in a different Phone?
Checked the SD for errors?
Is the SD loose in the carrier?
Formatted the SD (fat 32 and primary partioion) from a PC?
Tried a different SD in your phone?
It does help if you do the basics and add what you've done in the OP

No, I'm never inserting my SD card to any other devices
Previously i checked it for errors,and got cleaned
After I purchased it,i haven't formatted....
I found this "un-expectally unmount error" from this last week...
I had similar issues with my sensation my sd would unmount unexpectedly it would vary from rom to rom. I found that if re flashed my current rom without a wipe it would correct the problem. It worked in my case hope it helps

I would try the reflashing rom idea above as its easy.
If that doesnt work transfer all the sd card data to your computer then format the card. See if that fixes.

I believe that should tell you that something is wrong with your SD card. How old is it?

Can't flash zip from external sd card

On latest CMR. This has never been a problem. Bought a new sd card. Card works perfectly. Went to flash an update and have error saying can't read external sd card. Reformat. Remounted. Still no luck.
It's a 64gb.
Any one have a solution or had a similar problem?
Try TWRP... ****ty solution, but worth a try.
Lol yeah, thanks for the response though.
I would try it, but since I already moved all my files off and on after reformat I feel like I wasted too much time with this already.
I can still flash from internal card, and my external sd card works perfectly otherwise so it really doesn't make a difference.
I guess we can all just make note that a reformat doesn't work in this situation so it can save some people trouble and time.

Must be formated to Fat32 for any recovery to see it. It comes formatted ExtFat.

Nice, thanks!
How can I tell what the card is formatted to? Any reason not to leave it the way it is?

Haha the above scenario is why you likely don't want to leave it as is. No recovery will see your external sd card if it's formatted to exfat. So, you'll have to use your internal storage to flash roms if you don't have it formatted to Fat32.
You can check the format by plugging your external sd card into a computer right clicking the drive and pressing "Format" (don't worry a second window opens) or I think you can also see it by selecting "Properties."

[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.

Try taking the SD card out and re-inserting it while the phone is on and booted into a ROM

Issue with SD

Hello, I have an Honor 8 and I recently got a notification telling me that my SD card is damaged. Following this, I have still been able to save some files and send and receive attachments via Skype and email, but not via Whatsapp (I can neither send nor receive pictures).
I'm guessing that I have to replace the SD card. Is this correct? Do you have any advice about it? If I do replace the SD, which settings should I choose for the new SD? Any particular procedures to follow?
Thanks a lot!
Once I got the sd card is damaged after reboot ,mine worked normal,i am still using the same sd card no problem for me

Hi, it's me again. Unfortunately the problem appeared again, I still can't view any photos on Whatsapp and am unable to download the files (it says the SD card is missing). At this point, I am wondering: is it really a problem of the SD card, or is there a problem with the software? What do you guys think? Because if it's a problem with the software, then changing the SD card would not solve anything, right?

That looks like a sign that your SD is near its end of life. Save your files now and insert a new SD.

sad thing is yesterday , my sd card is crashed idk y , i formatted , all my data is lost
I was having the same problem, so i read in the internet that Format the SDcard on Fat32 maybe would solve It, so i put It on my tablet PC and use the "miniTool" to delete ALL the partitions, Rebuild the MDR and at last format on Fat32. After that i change the settings on android to use internal memory as primary storage methode, using SDcard most to storage documents and pictures. So far so good
