Well, if your SD card is in fact mounted physically...
If you plug the phone into your computer, does it recognize the phone as a removable disk?
I assume that you've tried removing and then it re-inserting it?
What size/class/condition is the SD card?

sounds like you have your phone plugged into your computer and on disk mode. set it to charge only before trying to use rom manager, or the better option would be to just reboot to recovery, and install zip from sd (point it to the rom.zip file on your sdcard and flash that way)

[Q] Memory card won't mount?

My phone won't mount its memory card. I go in Settings and look at SD & Phone Storage and find the options to Mount SD Card and to Erase SD card are both dimmed. I opened the phone and reinserted the card and this does not help. I connected to my computer and was not offered the option to mount as disk, like I am normally am.
Any ideas what the problem is? How do I recover the data on my card?
Thanks

Any suggestions?

Hum, can you mount the SD card in 4ext recovery ?

How do I do this?
Also if I go into clockwork recovery to try to view my NANDROID backups for possible restore of one, it says can't mount /sdcard. The phone seems to be acting like there is no card in it at all.

maybe try with multimount (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rafoid.multimountsdcard.widget). if it doesn't help you can try connecting your sd card directly to your computer using an adapter. newer notebooks often have sd card slots, so you don't have to buy one.

So, have you seen this utility mount a card the phone wouldn't mount without it? This just appears to mount card simultaneously for phone and computer. I can't mount the card for either phone or computer.

I got a card reader and the bad card won't mount on a PC or Mac either. Put a new card in the phone and the phone uses it fine, but I lost the data on the card.
The bad card was Patriot brand and barely lasted two weeks.
How often do memory cards fail? Is data loss a frequent thing for Android phone users due to these tiny memory cards? (The larger ones I use in cameras seem to be reliable and do not trash my photos.)

SD card problem

So my Pantech Burst P9070 is having issues. In clockwork mod recovery (cwm) it said my SD card couldn't mount so I tried formatting it. Well apparently I must have done something wrong during the formatting process because my SD card (internal) is no longer detectable by my phone or computer. My phone shows a notification saying that my SD card is damaged and needs to be formatted but when i press the button to format it, my phone says that the SD card is removed, but I do not even have an external SD card so I am confused. Please Help!!!:crying::crying:

Don't panic. If you are trying to use your sd card for songs, apps, photos etc, then just go into windows or any other partition manager, do a FULL wipe and make sure its FAT 32. If you also want to increase your internal storage visit my thread Hope this helps.

But how am I even suppose to use the windows or any other partition manager if my SD card isn't detected by my phone or computer?

Disk Management
Look in the Disk Management Tool in Windows Vista or above.
If you don't have that or it doesn't detect it you can download a disk partitioning tool to do the job.
It none of the tools work from Windows verify that the card is unmounted in Settings and try formatting it form Android.

Broken SD Card

Hi. I'm using my SD Card formatted as internal storage and yesterday my phone stop detect it I try to romove and put again, restart phone and it's not work. I have important data on this card, so anyone knows how can I extract them? External reader or something? Please help.

On windows, use EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard

It'll work when I formatted card as a internal storage (when you insert a SD card for the first time on a Marshmallow device, you can choose to either use the card as Portable Storage or Internal Storage)? That's main problem... And if yes, how can connect this card to PC when my phone didn't recognize the card?
