My device is htc explorer, I got root privilege earlier and then upgraded from android 2.3.5 to 4.4.1. There was several problems on this new version of android for my device(like, browser was showing olny a black screen and SD card wasn't detected and so on). Then I downloaded the zip file of stock-rom for htc explorer and flashed it to get the android 2.3.5 back on my device. It looked like I had my old phone back, but just then i realised that the SD card was still not detected. Its frustrating because i have very less internal memory, please help.
P.S: I used TWRP recovery mod
SOLVED!!
To those of you who are having this same problem with SD card not being detected. I've got the solution. This is what I did:.... In the twrp recovery press the
“Advanced” button. Then press
Partition Sd-card. I gave 512 mb along with 32mb of swap (this size is irrelevant because you can delete them later on ).
I don't know if it was necessary but I also pressed on "fix permission" and swiped it.
After that i just rebooted normally and I was happy to see my sd card contents on my phone.

Hi everyone!
I am very new to this forum as well as any deep knowledge of Android OS.I have a problem with my Htc Magic phone. It doesn't read sd cards anymore; every sd card (new or used) I put in the phone it says the same message (while my pc can read them using a card reader) "SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem". I tried to format the SD card both with pc and phone, with no results.
I had already taken the following steps :-
1) Formatted the card using PC & Phone
2) Formatted the card using SD Formatter v3.0
3) Reseated the SD card after pulling it out,pushing it back in and rebooting
4) Reverted back to Android 1.6 after an official Android 2.2 update
5) Run Anti-virus check on the whole mobile using Dr.Web android anti-virus app.
6) Physically opened up phone to check all the connectors are intact, which are
indeed intact and packed the phone again.
All these steps taken but nothing, the problem still persists.Is this some kind of hardware failure or a unknown software glitch.Many people are facing this issue but no proper resolution to this problem.
I would also like to add that while reverting my phone from Android 2.2 to 1.6, the phone was able to read image file "sappimg" from the sd card in recovery mode, but after that when the phone booted the same error message is coming up.
Guys please help me out on this if U have some solution as I am clueless now.
What can I do? Thanks!
Today I got this notification in my new HTC Sensation. Interessting is the fact, that I seem to be able to access the card alright - reading and writing files to the card is working, just the notification is irritating me.
I noticted there are quite a few posts about the SD card being unsupport - is that a general problem?
How can I backup my SD prior to formating the card?
connect the phone to your pc in disk mode, in windows go to folder options and choose show hidden files just to be safe, copy everything on your SD card to a temporary folder, that's it really.
OK, sounds simple.
Is this a know error (about the disc claiming to be blank)?
I've never seen it personally, this time try and format the card from your sensation.
HELP!!!!!
So i decided to upgrade to newer ROM version, formatted SD card, booted linux, everything good, except i got "SD card blank or has unsupported file system" error. I tried everything, formatting it from both Windows 7 and WM, re-installing ROM, no good.
I cant mount nor erase SD card from Android.
I must add that my card worked perfect before this in an older ROM version (i think from April. 2011) and it works good in WM.
Phone works fine except this problem.

No, i don't have another phone or camera that uses SD cards.
SD card works good in WM 6.5 and it worked in previous Android build, it wouldn't run new ROM if it's not working.
I thought about changing kernel and radio to newer versions.
And there is another problem, my screen is not always responding to touch, basicly it isn't working as it should be both in WM and new ROM
bump.
I'm getting the same thing on my HTC Sensation. Dam notification but, still read/writes files.
"Blank SD Card
SD Card blank or has unsupported filesystem."
I noticed this start happening not this last system update but, the one before that.
Current system stats:
Android Version 2.3.4
HTC Sense Version 3.0
Software number 1.50.531.1
Kernel Version 2.6.35.13-g9cd440e Build No. 1.50.531.1
-odd.
Format the sd card using a sd card adapter of some sort on your computer. When you format the sd card set file allocation size to 4096mb or less (supported by most phones). Finally type " cd ( disk location)" onto command prompt. The "chkdsk" command should check your sd for errors. This method worked on my mobile.

Hi All I am a total newb and have totally messed up my Desire. I rooted it a few months ago and all went fine, however i tried to install a new rom yesterday and everything has gone wrong. The phone switches on but it is just a black screen that has the word android flashing intermittently. I can still access hboot but when I try to install zip file the sd card appears totally blank. As it stands it is totally useless. Any help greatly appreciated
where have you put that zip file in sdcard?
Sent from my GT-S5360 using XDA App
The zip file was in the sd card but is no longer there, the sd card appears empty.
When I connect phone to pc it doesn't recognise the device so cant access card at all.
if you are using clockworkmod recovery, connect phone to pc with cable, than go to recovery and from mount and storage option select mount usb, you can access your sd card from pc now, copy another rom and try to flash it
I accessed the sdcard and flashed a different ROM which loaded fine, however it still wont boot. The Rom is the only file on the the sdcard I need all the HTC drivers and set up etc
I recently flashed CM 10 Official Alpha on my AT&T Skyrocket and I've experienced an issue with my SD card. Basically it shows us as my internal storage. Whenever I hook it up to my PC via USB (Windows 7) my internal storage pops up and another disk that I can't access (grayed out). The files I have on my SD card show up whenever I enter recovery mod (Currently on Touch Recovery) but I can't access it through my PC or any other way. I've tried file browsing applications from the market to see if the SD card shows up, but no luck. I also read the change log on their website to see if there was any issues with an SD card and I came up with nothing. I followed every step exactly as posted in the topic when flashing. Is there any way to get my SD card to show up?
Thanks in advanced.
I second this. What I've been doing is copying things onto the internalSD, then using a file manager to get it on external.
Painful, yes, but, I don't think it's ready yet.

That seemed to have worked. Thank you very much!
OK, I got everything set up and it boots within 30 sec with my Gingerbread based MROM. But, I do not know why it can not show how much space my SD card (not the external one) has in the setting and it says that the SD card is unmounted. And for the camera, when I open it, it says that I have to put a SD card in order to use it (I assume that it refers to the external one), but my external SD card is already in my phone. Also, in the music app, when I open it, it says that my SD card is busy, which one it refers to? However, in the file manager, I still can able to see everything inside my external SD card while it says the SD card (not the external one) is empty. Really confusing... Can you guys explain all these?

if everything was working fine before you flashed the rom your on id start there..try restoring your backup and make sure you wipe caches and factory reset before the restore then see if everything is working..if so then reflash the rom and dont forget the caches wipe and factory before the flash.if its still not right maybe you have a bad download of the rom..try redownloading it or flash a different rom see how that works...also to be on the safe side wipe everything twice ..that way nothing gets left over that can cause glitches like that
