Help SD card not detecting in any rom - HTC Pico (Explorer)

Hello People,
Plz help me. my SD card is not getting detected in any custom rom. I have tried CM 11 beta 3, paranoidandroid 4.0+, Beanstalk 4.4.2.
plz note the card is detected in the recovery [I am using TWRP 2.6.3.0].
My card is sandisk 8gb class 4.
It was working fine on CM11 beta 2 with 1 partition. but then for installing Cm11 beta 3 i went with AmalD's method of using 3 SD partitions but it got stuck in a bootloop at the CM logo. so i decided to revert back to CM11 beta 2 with single partition but now the card doesnt get detected. i have tried using other roms too as mentioned above.
please help . thanks in advance.

First make a backup of your card by connecting it to the PC..
See if it detects the card in the PC.. Now open minitool select that drive.. Delete it.. Then click on that.. Create partition as fat32.. now place it in your phone.. Create partition using recovery..

No Its not the issue of the card its related to the partition order or might be type you can say..
You are not alone in this partitioning thing even i tried this my card is class 10 still i faced bootloop :laugh: so instead of creating partition i delete some apps from rom then flash it. Then manually place the deleted apps in system folder through a file manager..:highfive:

Only if you want to remove problems like low internal memory and want to use A2SD
My phone doesn't detect it either.
at start it gives small card with ! mark.
I tried formatting the card wholly with fat32,
I even tried making different partitions fat32+ext4.
In both ways my phone doesn't detect the memory card.
But when I do the update in recovery mode it updates through sd card.
My memory card is perfectly working on PC and other devices.
Try using the partition sd card option in recovery if you want to use Link2SD, A2SD or S2E.
Guys, do the cards ext2 or 3 , not 4. Don't know why but...... It worked for me. And if you partition them, make both partitions primary.

Thank you very much..I had the same problem, I formatted my SD card to ext3,fat32 and a swap partition and Wolla..its working fine:victory:.
There are some issues with ext4 partitions.
ext4 partition are said to be better but they might have some problems.
So if you encounter any, format it completely and delete all partitions. Using your phone recovery to make partition would be better.
Sometimes your second partition(i.e. sd-ext) is not detected by your recovery, and your main fat32 is works fine. Well that happened with me and i searched for solutions for long time. But did get any.
Later i fixed it by flashing the last cwm recovery with which the sd-ext partition was getting detected. Seems like the new version of recovery was the problem. Or something else, I don't know.

backup your data on the sd card to your pc and format it and if it still shows the problem then your sd card is dead
i have the same problem but when i formatted it formatted my internal sdcard -.-

No, it is not :silly:
I've tried 2 different sd cards (16 GB and 32 GB), different brands, and they are recognized by every pc I use, the problem is on the phone side. Maybe the mod to swap internal and external SD cards... or some kind of rom bug.
Or you could flash the alpha 3 which has been released....maybe it was a bug specific to alpha 2?

Hi everyone
I have flashed CM11 beta version by "Galaxyfreak", the ROM is great and works smoothly but whenever I created a partition in my sdHC card and enable the in2ext in settings>extra my phone takes infinite time to open(Means it didn't open just a bootloop which never stops). I have tried all ways to partition and tried all formats(Fat32,Ext 1,2,3,4) but still failed. I made a partition in my 2GB SD card with EXT4 and it works but why didn't it works on my sdHC card?!
P.S. My memory card is working and its by the company named "Advance Media" and it's class 10.
Please help

If you are using CWM recovery Change to TWRP pr philz..
Create partition through the recovery..
Remove some apps from rom zip Then flash the rom..

At this point i would say my problems were gone ,in recovery mode i was able to see my sd card but then i do a TERRIBLE MISTAKE. I partitioned my memory card from the partition option in twrp recovery and then it was back to damaged state(me mentally damaged ). I tried evreything i tried before,but nothing helped,even the recovery software which detected my mem card previously now didnt detect it
Now my computer is also not showing it even the " removable disk" which it showed previously somehow and i was able too see it.
but the thing is in diskpart when i list volume
i am able to see it with 0 kb capacity which i was able to see before also and now too,but now i am not able to see it in my computer

use an adapter to put the card in your pc, then get a program for your pc to format the card properly, then put the card back into your phone.

buy an adapter and fix it properly on your pc. adapters are not expensive, im guessing less than $5. a lot of sd cards come with them when you buy it.
plus, when in pc, you can use tools to check the card for errors and bad sectors. maybe partly bad, thats why you are having problems.
Okay now I got an adapter but still no use,, I cannot use chkdsk as some error comes, diskpart clean shows io error
Help.....

along with the previous suggestion, you can use this to make sure its genuine, and it will report bad sectors and other things.
you should use this first to make sure there are no issues with the card before attempting to fix something that may not be fixable.
