SD Card or USB drive not showing in recovery mode - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

Can anyone shed any light on this? I have tried two micro sd cards and a USB drive on my MTCD_KLD.
The cards and USB are all formatted in FAT32. If I go into settings and look for updates it sees an update available on the cards or the usb drive. If I choose to update the system reboots and when it enters recovery mode it does not mount any of the cards or USB device and so will not run the update. Any ideas?
If I boot straight into recovery the same problem, no cards or drive

I'm pretty sure you have use the GPS sd slot for anything with the recovery.
The USB ports definitely don't work there.

yeah the card isn't recognised in the GPS slot from recovery either.

Is there a size limit on the cards it will see in Recovery? I have only got 64gb cards

I think only work max 32gb sd.

[Q] MicroSD shows up in Windows, but SD card does not?

I have a micro SD card and a SD card connected to my Transformer/dock. Only the micro SD card shows up in Windows, as the "MicroSD" folder, when connected to my PC despite Android seeing both cards. Other threads mention that a "SD Card" folder should show up, but I don't have any such folder. I'm able to copy files to it on the tablet itself and alotcat shows the system mounting/umounting it when I insert/eject the card. Trying the cards one at a time (SD inserted and micro SD ejected) also didn't help.
I'm running the latest FOTA, completely stock.
I've had this same problem. SD card is inserted in the dock, but when hooked up to my computer, its not accessible. MicroSD card is, but not the one in the dock. Same for External USB devices hooked up to the dock. My guess is that they aren't mounted via the mtp. I tried rebooting the tablet with the card inserted and hooked up but still no go. Running Prime 1.3 and newest firmware for the keyboard.

[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.)

PC wont recognize Memory card from sensation

Hopefully someone has experienced this b4... My computer will no longer recognize my memory card from my sensation. I have tried via mass storage mode as well as an adapter. On mass storage mode I have tried to turn on and off USB debugging with no luck.
Have also confirmed a different memory cards reads fine with no issues.
Help anyone???
Is data on the sd card important? If not, try formatting the card.
Have you tried mounting the card from recovery?

CM10 Flashed sdcard1 not mounting to PC.

I have been trying to fix this problem for a few hours now with not result.
Last night I went from an one click unbricked stock rom on my infuse to CM10.
Before CM10:
Normally when I plugged the phone into my computer two removable drives would be recognized by my computer but would not be accessible until I triggered the USB storage from the phone. When I do that I would have access to the 16gig internal SD card on the phone which is now sdcard0 and I would also have had access to the 32gig external SD card that I have in the expansion port.
Now:
My computer still has two removable drives pop up when the phone is plugged into the computer. However I can only get into the internal SD card on the phone. When I click the Removable Disk H icon for my external 32 gig SD or sdcard1 I get a please insert disk error.
To sum it up. I am able to transfer files back and forth between the two disks on the phone. I can access everything on each SD card. I still have an external_sd in the file list but it is now just a folder with a few files in it instead of the external sd cards contents being there on the stock rom. For some reason the phone isn't mounting the sdcard1 as its own removable drive when I connect USB storage to my computer.
I am going to continue looking for an answer on my own in addition to what ever help I receive here
Thanks for reading in advance.

Internal SD not regognized

I flashed Beanstalk and CM10.1 and after every reboot my internal sd card is not recognized at all. My external sd is still showing up if I go into it. I wiped/flashed so many times that I am still having the same problems. May be I should stick to Gingerbread until my next upgrade. Here are some photos.

I found a temporary fix that is to fix permissions in the recovery.

I have the same issue here, even though I done the fix permission thing it still boots up with the internal storage not mounted, one solution here was for me to plug in the phone in for usb storage and when it prompted usb connection click on it and let it load, then disconnect and eject the usb mass storage from the computer, then unplug and disconnect usb mass storage from phone, the phone then scans for both internal and external sd cards, you then have access to both SD cards, but this is just a temporary fix to my issues as well.
My problem here is that when the phone recognize both card and plugging the phone into usb storage and removing it the internal sd card won't mount back but external stays mounted, I can't find a fix to this issues, I've searched around and can't find any answers. I've tried reformatting going back to stock, formatting systems, etc.
I'm currently on Carbon ROM, which by the way is one of the best ROM I've had, just that issue I'm having.

I moved the SD card into my PC and remove all contents. Format the SD card to Fat32 and then replace all my contents back on it. This worked for me. :good:
