Per pio_masaki, I reinstalled TWRP and remounted the External SD Card. Each time I go into TWRP I need to remount. Oherwise, I lose access to the SD Card.

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.
One question...
I can't seem to mount my SD card in Touch Recovery... It mounts on Android perfectly fine, but can't mount in the Recovery..
Internal mounts fine.
Any ideas?

I used touch recovery before and my sd card would mount just fine, but either way you shouldn't trust sd mounting in recovery, it's been known to corrupt files.

I can't install roms or any kernel if I can't mount the SD card.

do you have an adapter for your mini sd card? if not they should be cheap, that's the best way to go.
I can mount in touch recovery just fine, reboot the phone back into recovery and try again, agree with ^^^ about the adapter.

I am unable to mount the external SDcard with CWM 6.0.2.7 or any earlier versions. As a result I cannot backup to or restore from the external SDcard. If I boot into CM10.1 the card mounts OK & I can read & write files to it. The same happens if I try a different SDcard. Any ideas what's going on?

Hi,
I have a P3110 with CWM6.0.2.7. I had the same problem. I simply formated my micro-SD card with the tablet, and now I can backup to and restore from my micro-SD card. (I found this somewhere in the forum by searching.)

Thanks for the reply, I had also searched the forum & google but did not find a solution. I cannot mount the SD card in CWM to format it and there doesn't seem to be a way to format it from CM10.1.

Try erasing everything on the m-sd card. Put it in you tablet. Then go to settings>storage>micro sd. and select the option to format it.
Hope that helps.

CM 10.1 doesn't appear to have this option under Storage settings
Could the reason for CWM not mounting the SD card be that CM10 has different mount points from the stock ROM for the SD card?
Mystery solved! I tried CWM formatting the SD card in my P5100 which has no problems doing CWM backups to external SD cards - and it would not mount. I then dug out a Samsung branded microSD card, stuck it in the P3110 and it worked first time! It's now happily backing up to the external SD. The 2 cards that didn't work were generic and Sandisk. Thanks for the suggestions.

Hmmm... that so difficult, but apps like Link2SD or FolderMount can help you

You can create ext partition on sdcard via Partition Wizard. It works for me.

I doubt Android will recognize (and use) an ext partition in the micro SD without telling it to do so. What you'll need to do is the following:
- Root your phone
- Partition the SD card
- Install Link2SD
- Tell Link2SD to put the new apps in the external partition. You can also move manually int the SD card the apps you like, and then they stay there.
Maybe it's possible to modify some system scripts to mount the external partition as the main partition, but that must be done before Android kicks in (i.e. just before the init boot process ends). I made an /etc/init.d script for GingerBread that was generic enough (it worked on different phones), but with the rooting methods (and scripts) we have for our phone on KitKat I think any script in /etc/init.d gets executed too late for it.
Still, Link2SD is your best option. It works just fine. Otherwise, if you want to install games with large obb files you can use Folder Mount. You still need root but there is no need to partition the SD card. Also it is smart enough to recognize which folders should be mounted (up to 2 in the free version).
Hi,
You could try to install xposed and Xinternalsd module Works fine for me
Before, I use foldermount but, xinternalsd do the job for free

Make sure that you have the recovery for the correct phone and that sd card is formatted with ext/2/3/4 or fat32
