I have a completely stock Sensation:
Android version 2.3.4
Software 1.45.531.1
I have the 8gb sandisk sd that come with the phone.
My SD card has never worked properly, when I take photos they are saved on the SD card. If I try and save a picture from a text message I get an error stating there is no SD card.
The main issue I have is I am trying to download a system update and I get an error "You need an SD card to download the system update."
I have tried to format the SD card a couple of times and I still get the same error. I have tried other cards with no luck.
Anyone have any ideas?
Try to root and flash different ROMs to see if there are any differences. If rooting and flashing doesbt work, maybe your phone SD reader is broken. Or maybe you didn't put it in right(x Jk. Try to root.
Possibly try to reset your phone to stock. When you go into settings and into storage, does it say anything under external storage or SD card?

Yes, under SD and phone storage

7.39gb
Available space:

It also gives me the option to unmount the SD card
hey guys! i bought an sd card 32gb Sandisk. i inserted in my phone and was working. i put the card in the usb adapter that was with card and then on my pc. i started transfering my files but all of a sudden it says that i need to format the sd card and that the sd had write protection. i tried to format the card but it says windows was anaible to complete the format. i tried to remove the protection using cmd but nothing happens. i tried sd formatter, and the disk management. still nothing. and my phone doesn't recognize the card anymore. i mounted it in my camera and said the card is not ready. and when i try to format i have ntsf and exfat as options and not fat32. oh.. and when i used sd formatter, although the card is 32gb it said 64gb the first time and when i retry it it said 1tb!! lol! and now it says nothing at all. just blank.
i don't know what to do... help me...
thanks in advance!!
My phone is unable to detect my SD card, details are as following:
1] I tried with two cards, one 4GB class2 card and 32GB class10 UHS-I card. Both cards were working fine before I messed up. (Scroll down to see what I did)
2] Both cards work fine on other phones (Lumia720, lenovo P780) and in my laptop when I connect them using card reader.
3] Other cards work fine in my phone. (Cards from Lumia720, lenovo P780)
4] Phone detects above memory cards (4GB, class2 card, 32GB class10 UHS-I) in Recovery menu. (I browsed it when I was trying to "install zip from sd card". And I could browse the entire sd card with no problem.)
5] In ES File explorer it says "SD card unmounted or not present". In "SD & phone storage", it says "Total space: unavailable", "Available Space: Unavailable". In camera app, it says "Please insert an SD card".
6] "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" is not working.
Here's what I did:
Everything was going smoothly.
1] 4GB card was in the phone, I did hard factory reset without unmounting the card. When I rebooted, above error occurred (SD card unmounted or not present).
2] I bought a new 32GB card, it was working fine in the phone.
3] While 32 GB card was inside phone: I installed "Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed" using "install zip from sd card" menu in "recovery" mode. When I rebooted above error occurred (For 32GB card).
4] I inserted previous 4GB card, it got detected and was working fine.
5] I did hard factory reset without unmounting the 4GB card. When I rebooted, above error occurred (with 4GB card).
Now both cards have above problem (SD card unmounted or not present).
Very strange problem. Will be glad to hear solution.
Thanx well in advance.

Yes, I've formatted it using FAT32 file system. Not working.
did you try to format it from mobile or it still said unmounted ? and the mount option is unavailable ? (settings - phone storage )

No, I formatted it using "MiniTool Partition Wizard". I can't detect SD card from "settings - phone storage" menu.
Mini Tool is to blame for that issue. I messed up a couple of SD Cards with it. The only way I could revive them was this: Find an older phone (not smart phone, some older Nokia or Samsung - I did it on Samsung J200) and insert the SD Card in it and format it within the settings of the phone. It should do the trick.
Is anyone else having an issue Formatting their External Sd Card as Internal memory on Marshmallow? I have tried every Marshmallow Rom for this phone and everytime I try to do this it stops at 20% and I get a java error and my card vanishes until I reset my phone and then the card is corrupted.

You may have to reformat the SD card in settings on phone. Try formatting and see if that works. If it doesn't then the SD card might be done.

it formats fine as portable storage on the phone. It's only when I try to format as Internal that it times out and fails

Hi folks,
I have an SD card here that I was using for Adopted Storage but I've managed to get it stuck as an "adopted" card and can't seem to get it back functioning as a normal SD card
Long story short... I wiped the device the card was in but I didn't "unadopt" the SD card before hand - as in set it back to portable mode. While the device could recognise there was an SD card afterwards, it couldn't prepare it for use and suggested a card error or something to that effect.
I figured I'd just pop it in my laptop (Windows 10 x64) and re-format it but this didn't work. Failing this, I decided I'd "nuke" it using Minitools Partition Wizard. While this program had better luck identifying the card, could display and delete the partitions on it and could run the Wipe task - it had no effect on the card... the partitions just re-appear after any attempt to nuke them!
Has anyone any ideas about how I can restore this card back to a normal FAT formated SD card?
Just to clarify - I don't care for the data that might be on it... I just want the card back usable
Thanks
Recovering an "Adopted" SD Card?
The best solution for now would be to plug the sd card into a phone with android 6.0 so that the phone can read the card and then while setting it up,you can format the card as "normal "(the part where it asks you whether to use the card as in adaptive storage or for accessing files).

When I try this, I get "Unsupported SanDisk SD card"
I'm then asked to select either Portable or Internal and then Erase & Format but neither work. They fail at 20% and the message "Unsupported SanDisk SD card" is shown again
I'm a bit stumped. I thought surely the encryption used on adopted cards was only to stop external reads. It seems in this case it's stopping me from writing to or formating the card
