I'm running the ParanoidAndroid ICS ROM on my HTC EVO 4G (original). Everything is fine until I insert an SD card and try to boot; then it won't get past the white boot screen (it keeps restarting). I have reformatted my SD card in both FAT32 and NTFS, to no avail. Does anyone know of a solution, or know how I can contact the ParanoidAndroid developer to ask him? Thank you for any assistance.
Maybe you should try:
1. Flashing a different ROM. Not implying that the ROM is the problem, but the way that your phone responds to the ROM.
2. Try another SD card, preferrably from another device. I am not suggesting that you buy a new SD card, as it might not necessarily solve the problem.
3. Definitely contact the developer. There is a chance that other users could've contacted the dev with the same problems or similar.

I am having a problem that I haven't seen posted, or at least that I haven't found a post about.
I rooted my GF's phone, created her gold card, downgraded, installed a new ROM, everything went very smooth.
She has been using her phone for a few weeks and has had no problem. The other day she went to take a picture with her phone and when she click the button to take the picture the phone said that the SD card was not accessible.
I took her card out and put my card in, same thing. I put her gold card back into the phone. Installed file explorer and went to the SD Card, no folders had been create. I tried to create a folder through file explorer. Phone said that the SD Card was not accessible.
Anyone got any suggestions? I am clueless as to why I can't get any SD Card to work in her phone. The SD Card worked before I rooted so it has to be a problem with something I did or something I didn't do.
Thanks in advance
Did you try the card in your phone? Just to see if its the rom your using or the sdcard may have become corrupted....

Well if you put two different cards in her phone and same thing then you either have a software error. (Reinstall the rom) or a hardware error. (take the phone back.) This has nothing to do with a gold card tho.
Don't get too worried too quick. This could simply be that the SD card is mounted as read only. I'm not sure how to do it but there's a way to check and correct the issue. Let Google be your friend on this one it will probably lead you right back to these forums with info on correctly mounting your SD card.
If that's not the issue start by reinstalling the Rom your using.
Next troubleshooting step after that is to reflash the stock Rom.
If that doesn't work. Go back to square one. Unroot. Format the SD card. Redo the gold card reroot and see what happens.
Absolute worst case would be go back to stock and locked to ATT and return the phone do to hardware issues.
Hope this helps!

May want to look here for read only fixes... they seem to have success...

He is using two seperate cards. One he knows is working on his phone with the same results on her phone. Not reading. I do not believe he has a card error. Unless he somehow messed them both up? Sounds somewhat far fetched. heh

Thanks for all the tips, I will try a good bit of them once she gets home from work. Something tells me its isn't mounting the card correctly, I am leaning toward a ROM problem and maybe going to try a different ROM.
She doesn't give her phone up to often for me to play with, typical woman she is always on it. But I will try some of the suggestions here and any others that come up here after. Somethings got to fix it.
Thanks All
Hi, I have been messing with rooting and installing custom roms on my Droid Charge. I'm totally new to it and have been getting the hang of it, lots of wipes, reinstallations, etc. Unfortunately, it looks like my 32gb microSD card has been a casualty of all this. Since I had managed to install a custom rom on my Charge, my card cannot be read by any device, I've tried it in two computers and two Android phones. All are unable to format the card either, showing it in RAW format.
I believe when I was looking at some threads here, there was an issue with some of the roms maybe damaging the sd card, maybe forcing it to read-only mode? Is there a way I can definitively find out if my card is toast or I can still save it?
Thanks!
I don't have a solution but a question. Was the last rom you flashed a GB rom?
Charged up post!
No, all my roms and kernels have been 2.2 Froyo based.
Flash the SD card fix, not sure how since the SD card isn't working but I would attempt to flash a stock ee4 through Odin & actually use the SD card fix this time....
Also, you might want to consider using Titanium Backup to get all your apps saved to your SD card so you don't lose them from the wipe.

He said that he can't even format it in a separate reader, so changing out the software on his phone isn't going to fix anything.
To the OP: Honestly, it sounds like your card might be bad; it happens. I doubt that any software/ROM could have caused this since software can't physically damage hardware. One suggestion I can make is to try cleaning the contacts on the card; I recommend q-tips and isopropyl alcohol for that. If it still doesn't work and can't be formatted in your computers reader, you simply have a bad card. At that point, try calling VZW and hope they will replace it. They may insist on replacing your whole phone as well; I don't know. Or, you can use this as an excuse to get a faster (Class 4+) card.

go to settings>storage>erase sd card or format it in fat32 via pc
When my SD card is mounted, it isn't detected on my PC, so I can't reformat or erase.

did you try mounting from recovery? I have a sd card usb adapter. It is really handy and I suggest that everyone who flashes picks one up. They don't cost much and let you get at you sd card directly through the pc.
Yes,that is must have if you flash roms all the time like the most of us do.
I got one for like 4 euros,and its life saver.

Usually XDA always has someone who knows what to do in all situations, but in your case it might be a hardware error. Something might not be connecting properly... and that can't be fixed with software solutions. I'm not sure if this is the case here, but a thought to consider.

Anyone else getting this problem ??????
I have meet this problem some days ago when I bought a new 16G class6 TF card from KingMax, this card have no problem when using it on PC, but when I using it in my sensation, it always "removed unexpectedly", after change it with a new SANDISK 16G class4 TF card, every thing was OK till now.
So I think it should be a compatibility problem, you can try to using other brand card.
I have the same problem with my HTC Sensation XE phone.
After using an app/game that saves info on the SD card, an error appears that reads: "SD card unexpectedly removed" and all apps that are installed on the SD card are no longer usable, nor is any information (pictures/videos) accessible. The SD card basically becomes invisible to the phone.
I have not tried another SD card yet, but I am reading other people have tried, and it doesn't help. I may try in a week though, when I plan to purchase another one.
Here is some info about my phone:
I have already done all its updates - it has SENSE 3.6 and runs on Android 4.0.3.
It has never been rooted, it runs on the original HTC software.
I am using an 16GB SD card on it - major brand, I believe it is SanDisc.
Also now the problem always appears when I try to update an app that is installed on the SD card, or when I try to record a video - in these two instances I always get the error now, and it gets very annoying.
The phone will randomly get the error on other occasions too.
The only thing that fixes this is to restart the phone 2 times in a row, as by first restart the SD card is still invisible. Another way is to manually remove the battery.
Anyone has any idea how to fix this problem?
I am surprised that I cannot find a clear answer and fix for this problem anywhere, even though so many people have this problem.
Please, help!
You might want to order a new card.perhaps it got corrupted somehow? Do you have a card reader for your computer so you can test the card its self and see if the reader or computer recognizes the card? You can find readers really cheap and they are very good to have. If the reader won't recognize it, It's definitely the card, if the reader does recognize it It's likely your device. First thing I'd try is a new card. Especially if you don't have a reader to check it. Hope this helps.

It's an issue
Hello Everyone,
I have an issue to report. For a long time I have been chasing this bug, although I was thinking is a hardware issue.
Here is the issue:
From time to time I have been experiencing an "SD card unexpectedly removed". I was thinking that my sd card is not ok. I have changed the sd card, formated, who knows what else I have been doing, but at the end the same issue.
I started to hate my HTC Sensation 4G. Reading forums, but no help.
I have noticed that this issue does not happens when I install Cyanogen Mod 9.1, but the software from htc same result.
Now let me tell you what ROM I am using and which version and how do I reproduce the issue.
phone: HTC Sensation 4G
Android version 4.0.3
HTC Sense version 3.6
Software number 3.33.401.153
Baseband version 11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M
Build number 3.33.401.153 CL391535 release keys
I have been using the rom from HTC Sensation XE, but the issue also occurred and on the HTC Sensation 4G ROM.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
1. I have installed SDCardTester https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.anotherflexdev.sdcardtester.SDCardTester&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImFpci5jb20uYW5vdGhlcmZsZXhkZXYuc2RjYXJkdGVzdGVyLlNEQ2FyZFRlc3RlciJd
2. Start the SDCardTester
3. During the testing process call yourself from another cell phone.
4. Problem occurred. "SD card unexpectedly removed"
Also sometimes issue is reproduced when mobile data is ON and there is writing/reading to the SD Card.
Can someone else to try to reproduce this issue and to confirm this problem.
Thanks
Ok i have been facing the same issue...earlier this issue only came when i used ttorrent..but now suddenly it is coming everytime..i first thought its a hardware issue with maybe the card or card reader slot in phone..but if it was a hardware related issue the card also wouldnt show up in the recovery..but in recovery it shows up just fine n i even flashed rom from recovery where setup was in sdcard..this is surely kernel or os issue

Backup your SD card and then reboot into recovery. There goto tools and partition the SD card. For any help visit the following link..

Hi all. I'm flashing from Froyo to ICS, using NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.1. I've flashed new radio, MAGLDR etc... with no issues, but when I've come to actually flash the ROM, my SD Card has chosen this second to give up on me. It wouldn't transfer any files etc... using the MAGLDR USB mass storage mode, and now refuses to format it.
So, I assume the SD card is screwed (unless there's some weird setting I've missed?) - basically, my phone obviously won't boot into anything now, it's half past midnight and I don't have any more SD cards on me.
How can I flash this ROM using a bootloader? Is that possible? I vaguely recall using a Bootloader to flash to Froyo from WinMo, rather than an SD card.
Any ideas? I need to get this running very soon, so my phone will work.
Cheers in advance.
(also, I did a search, but I couldn't find an answer. Sorry if it has been answered already).
Alternatively, does anyone know of a NAND ROM with a daf.exe loader? Any will do, just so I can get my phone functional until I get a new SD card.
Thanks.
Fixed it, by going into clockworkmod, partitioning the card, formatting it within CWM, mounting the SD card, then mounting USB storage. Seeeeeems to have worked.
So, feel free to delete. That said, would still be interested in finding an alt. solution to this.
Hi, Still very new to all this. Was wanting to use link2sd app. Upon loading up the app and finding out more. It states "second partition not found, no sd card present"? So i'm reading all these threads on how to partition. Concern is, this guide for dummies writes that they want me to unmount sd and put in computer via usb or sd card reader? I don't have a sd card reader on laptop. Am i not able to leave it mounted in my phone while partitioning? This sd is internal and i don't see anything else under my sim card. Looks empty as if nothing is there. Is that where the external would go? Under sim card? Anyways, aside from that. I can't use CWM. Has no option for format sd card in 6.0.4.7. So was told to use Minitool partition wizard. Is this free? Says freeware. I'm guessing yes, though someone said it asked for license after partition. Shrugs.
My biggest concern is that even if i figure this out and get a second partition going..... What is going to be lost after format? My guess is everything right? So when i do a factory reset, will i still be flashed with beanstalk rom...Or wiill i have to start from stock again and update back to beanstalk? Sorry to sound stupid. Only been playing around with this phone a couple days. First smartphone and still very new to flashing, etc.
come on....60 views and not one helpful answer? surely someone has knowledge on this discussion. Please help! Does this phone ship with a sd card internally or no? I swore i used app2sd on earlier build before i return phone for a replacement. Why does it not work no longer? is there a specific build/rom that would allow me doing this? new to smartphones. be nice to the newb. thx.
