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.

devices with pretty good built in memory is always the best chioce.
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

Ok so I used the juopuntbear bear method to get s-off but now my Sd cards don't work. I know it wipes the Sd card but it doesn't work with my other one either. I tried using the adapter and the red light came on but the only thing that came up is that the USB mass storage device is safe to eject. Is it the room on my phone or the hboot etc ?

But the computer only picks it up as a temporary file thing and the only option is to eject it and nothing else. In the phone there's an option to format it but that just stays formatting for ages and does nothing.

No, I don't think it will. It should work. You can try re-formatting your SD card in a Linux Virtual Machine, though

It looks like your sd card is corrupted. I would suggest using SD Formatter : it is a good tool for fixing corrupted sd cards and gives you lots of options.

It wont work on the sensation but it worked for me on an old phone about 5 years old minimum. Its worked for my friends as well..... otherwise if you couldn't do it this way or via computer then it wont be able to format, must be something else wrong with it, a good excuse to order a larger one as I see it

No, you can just use an old phone that can handle a microsd and it can do it for you. My friend did it through his five year old phone.

connect your phone to computer, Toggle USB mode in 4EXT Recovery, and your phone will act as a microSD card reader. You can do anything you want from there. =)

If the card cannot be mounted, both of these won't work.
Your best bet is to use a card reader & try different methods of connecting.
First put the SD Card in & then connect card reader, first connect card reader then put SD Card in, etc.
Usually, even a corrupted SD Card shows up on a PC.
If it does, use the format option. If "Windows was unable to format the drive", then go to Disk Management & format it from there.
If the PC is unable to detect it, then it's some kind of hardware fault & to the best of my knowledge, nothing will be able to fix that. All you can do is try wiping the contacts if they are dirty, but I doubt that would cause such a problem.
it will still work even if SD card cannot be mount.
Juopunutbear's S-OFF method sort of corrupted my SD card and i used Toggle USB mode method to format my SD card

A corrupted SD Card can still be mounted.
If the SD Card cannot be mounted in recovery, there is no question of trying to Toggle USB Storage or formatting it.
His case seems different.
wow i recover my files
hi guys, i had same problem, but then i set this sandisk ultra to my nokia xpress music and there was everything,,, my arc s cant open it anymore but nokia opens... try to reset your sd s to others phone...
I use 4EXT for my loader. If you have another loader you can try on that as well, boot into Recovery Mode and try to format the SD Card for there. 4EXT formatted my SD Card even though it couldn't mount it. Then it worked just fine.
Hi guys, i have a 64GB Micro SD and i can't seem to get it to work with my device, Im running the CM10.1 Jelly Bean ROM and when i put the MicroSD Card in it said there is no external storage available.. Is there any tweak i can apply to get it to work or does the hardware just not support cards that size?
Thanks,
Dan.

hii all. i bought sensation xe 2 wks ago. i'm facing the problem in my sensation xe of removing sd card unexpectedly.. after this notification all of my apps stop working except those which are in internal storage. so i reboot my phone and my sd card working again normally without even touching it or removing the batery.. this seems weird. but again after 3-4 hr more or less this notification again comes.. my phone is not rooted as i dont know how to root, updated on ics.. sd card also seems fine as it works on rebooting the phone..
p.s- i'm having this issue after i have upgraded my sd card from 2gb to 8gb.. before that not even the single time i have got that error.....
i have also facing a problem on every reboot that "ANdroid is upgrading" optimizing applications 1 to 28.. so my every reboot takes atleast 2 min which is very annoying.. this error cames after i upgraded from 2.3 to ics...
anybody help me.. and sorry if i am breaking any rules as i have search these problems on google but didnt get any satisfying result.
