I encrypted my one of my spare nexus s phone to see how the encryption process works .Know the issue I am having is USB storage won't mount in recovery even though I choose mount SD card .
Any other way to mount the SD card, when the phone boots up it gets decrypted when I put in a password, guessing this is the issue that SD card cannot get mounted because its not decrypted .

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.
Im on cm7 and i just reformatted my sd card by going to settings/storage/erase sd card. It formatted but now every time I click mount it says blank sd card and doesnt mount. Also it wont recognize when I plug it into my computer with the data cable. Thanks.

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.

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.
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 was copying a ton of files from my sd card to my external sd card via root explorer when I noticed my system was hanging. I restarted and my permissions on the folder were out of whack and I couldn't access it. Changed the permissions and rebooted now it works fine while my system is running, however, when I try to mount the drive in clockwork mod it tells me I can't mount it. Used to work fine. Anyone have an idea on what I need to do to get it to mount again?
