I have searched and I can't find an answer..
I have installed virtually all of the current 2.2 ROMS and I cannot get any of them to recognize my sd cards...I have odined back to stock, and flashed over and over and every time, the phone will say "no sd card inserted" IT even did the same thing when trying to mount the sd cards through clockwork recovery with the OS not even booted up...
When I flash a 2.1 ROM back to the phone, it behaves perfectly and reads both SD cards normally. Any one else have this problem or know of a fix?
i thought i had this issue last nite what i did was turn off usb debug then checked ask on connection in the usb setting and let it reboot and waited for it to reread everything then it was fine
If you had read all the posts of all those threads that you got the ROMs from, you would have seen that all the Froyo Roms had this issue. This has been posted many times over the past few days.
In Eugene's Froyo thread, you may find a fix for that.

I have read plenty of pages, and this is s huge issue and I haven't seen a thing on it. I can't even get to clockworkmod from 2.2 because it will not read my sd card.
If it has been posted so many times, could you please post a link to just one of them? I have been looking since Monday night! (Reading and searching)
One of the problems is xda won't allow 2 letter search terms such as sd....

Thanks.. I did see that, and tried it, but it doesn't work still..I made this post after flashing that ROM with the sd card supposedly fixed. I can't use anything that uses the sd card on this ROM that claims the fix or any other 2.2 rom. I would like to run obsidian...

I did all this just for fun and its still the same! The phone says there are no sd cards inserted!
The computer still will not recognize it either!
I flashed the r10 rom and did a factory restore while still in recovery. No problems since then.

There is a separate SD fix, but that was included with the new rom apparently. I have seen posts that those who pushed that fix had it work.
If I go to settings>sd card and phone settings
both the sd card storage and the phone storage say unavailable!
this only happens when you are using 2.2 right?
yes.. its only on 2.2 roms.. and every one of them I have tried.. when I flash back to 2.1 it works great.. I am guessing its some sort of kernel issue...
I did get it rebooted into clockwork and wiped pretty much everything but the sdcard...did not do any good.. also tried moutning the sd card from clockwork with 2.2 installed...the sdcards did show up on the computer, but when clicking on them it said "Please insert a disk into this drive"

i have researched this for 3 days straight and have found a solution, their is no fix
1.) if you remove your sd card and reboot the phone with it not in there, your internal memory will mount just fine.
2.) so that made me think it was something wrong with my external card, so i went and bought another one, samsung branded, 8 gig class2 card, and what do you know, it mounted just fine.
3.) i did found out that when i flashed back to 2.1 it would see my old sd card, but when i upgraded to 2.2 it wont.
its like 2.2 does not like certain branded sd cards, the one that wouldnt work on 2.2 was made by A-Data

Interesting.. Thank you! I am rebooting without the sdcard now and sure enough the internal card is showing [email protected]
Mine is an 8gb class 6 card.. not sure what brand... I am going to format the sd card and see if that helps!
that was it.. I put my 2gb card in and it worked great.. the 8gb card worked great before, but apparently was not compatable with 2.2

i just recently went to the gingerbread leak rom and it was working fine fir the past week. the message said, Damaged sd card, Sd card damaged. you may have to reformat....
and when i try to mount the sd card by connecting the cables, i press connect and nothing happene\s but the circle keeps spinning for like a hour. please help. i have many photos and work schol work stuff on the phone that i need to transfer to the computer.
Hate to tell you, but you're most likely out of luck. The Gingerbread leak is known to cause problems with SD cards, thats why many recommend using a spare SD card.
I've seen utilities that search corrupted SD cards for files, you might try some sort of tool for that and see if you can get anything off of it.
After this if you want to run Gingerbread, I'd recommned you switch to Cyanogenmod 7, MIUI (what I'm running currently, love the miui launcher), or OMFGB.
I'm not sure if this is related but I will say it anyway. On my Droid X I flashed GB and a week later my phone did the exact same as yours. Error on the phone stating the card was damaged and it needed to be reformatted. I tried to reformat and it would not work on the phone. I tried on my computer and it would not even see the card. I searched for hours and hours and it seems like other's had the same issue. The only way I was able to reformat was to stick the card in my Blackberry and reformat. For some odd reason it picked it up. I did buy a new card just in case and will keep this one for a backup. Always back up your card on your computer on a weekly basis if you can. I lost years of photos.
Anyways I know it's a totally different phone but how weird is it that we both and others had the same issue when flashing to GB. Try to reformat on your computer or even try a different phone if you can. Sorry if this does not help you.

I second that this should've gone in Q&A... However, on your pc google 'piriform recuva' and download as this is a recovery utility that should be able to get back some of your data. You could also try formatting/mounting your card in CWR, I believe nitsuj had some luck restoring a fried card this way
tapatalked from my GingerBanged VZ Fascinate
Actually, the SD CARD DAMAGED message always does not mean the sd card is damaged, it only mean the system can not access it.
Try to use a sd card reader on the PC.
Also, there is a huge, gigantic 1559247pt font warning written in red right at the top of the thread that warns you about the rom possibly frying your sd card....
Edit: my bad, I was thinking of the comm rom thread, but there is a warning at the top of the leak thread also.... I don't mean to sound like an ass, but it really helps to read the OP thoroughly before flashing anything

I have recently upgrade to android 2.3.3 and am using EWJET as a rom.
I cannot access the SD once Android OS has booted. All apps and the system/settings says SD Card isn't mounted. Tried multiple installs, nothing works.
All 2.1/2.2 Roms are fine.
If i tap back during start-up and access xrecovery I have normal access to the SDcard and can flash packages etc. So the phone is able to access the card ok.
My SD card is the 8gb that came with the phone and isnt partitioned in anyway.
However in the past I did have it partitioned, but not now. Incase I am installing 2.3.3 and the rom wrong, ill tell you my steps.
Factory Firmware 2.1 flashed
rooted, busybox and recovery installed
Flashed X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_only_kernel_baseband
then install the EWJET rom as per his instructions..
I pray I am only doing the above steps wrong as I desperately want the SD working on 2.3.3.
Any help would be appreciated.

you try pulling it out and blowing on it like an old nes game...
jk smiles but have you tried perhaps throwing the sd into a computer and just formatting with different cluster sizes or in general formatting the card. Might need to use an adapter.
Happen the same thing to me but with wolfbreaks rom... some people told me to re-flash the rom but it didnt work. The funny thing is the the sd card will work on any other device, and any other sd card will work on the phone... havent try re-formatting the card cauze i dont have the adapter but it should work

you might want to get an adapter. A while back i tried setting up a sd-ext partition on a 4gig card and long story short the only way i was able to run a format that gave me back the 4gigs was throwing it into an adapter
Had the same thing when I updated with stock-2.3.3.... At the time I had it partitioned in 2 partitions...
I connected the phone then with my pc, and there it was, alive and well.... So I backed up the entire card, that is, the first partition, where all my data were; I powered off the phone, took it out, found a adapter, deleted the 2nd partition with Partition Wizard Home Edition Minitool, made the sd-card 1 partition only, formatted that partition, and then I copied all my backed-up data back to the card
Then I put the card back in the phone, booted and voila: the card was recognized again by 2.3.3....! and now it functions ok!
Hope this helps, greetz, good luck,

Anything new on this?
for me it is a little different. The card that came with the phone works fine with the GB update, the thing is that I got another phone, this one came with a 4 Gb card so I took the one in the x10 with all my pics and put it in my new phone and put the other new card in the x10 but it doesn't recognize it...
I've tried with 2 different cards, in xRec i can read it, back up, etc, but once in android its like there's nothing there. Tried formatting it with no results....
What could it be that it reads the original x10 card and no other?
Ive got no idea, but its annoying. Im gonna have to go back to 2.1 which sucks.
We need to some how figure out whats causing this. Ive tried everything.
2.3 seems to be the problem.

Today i found a workarround using DISKPART (6 years later hehe)
Note that this will wipe your storage card so BACKUP !!
Hold [Win + R] and type in : diskpart (or launch cmd as admin and types: diskpart )
Every lines should be followed by enter key.
list disk
select disk *
(" * " is the number of your drive. be carefull do not choice your hard drive number which is commonly 0)
clean
create partition primary
assign
format fs fat quick
exit
Tested and work fine on windows 8 (but should work on 7, 8.1, 10)
Thanks Hope i help even 6 years later !! cheers
I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't seem to get my damned Fascinate to recognize the SD card.
I was running on some version of a Cyanogen 7 based Rom, I think Runnymede SIII, when the card stopped mounting properly, giving me an error message saying, "blank external SD card: SD card blank or has unsupported file system." When I go into CWM recovery, I can't mount the card at all, I get a message saying e:can't mount sd card.
Anyway, I've flashed through successively earlier and earlier official roms, and now I'm all the way down to stock DL09. No dice.
Any ideas as to how to fix this stupid thing? I don't even care about the storage, I just want to flash CM7 onto the phone and be done with it. I don't suppose there are any ODIN packages for CyanogenMod?

@Shipyaad: try error-checking your sd card on your PC. Put in card reader, right click in Windows explorer, choose "properties," goto tools tab, check for errors, check both "surface scan" and "automatically fix errors"
This should get your card working again until you get a new one (it's not a permanent fix)

Well, it was worth a try. Neither OSX nor Windows were able to read the card either - right clicking on the drive crashed Explorer every time I tried it, and OSX Disk Utility had every option grayed out. Clearly, the card is fooked. Thanks again for the help.

I don't recomend a 32gb sd card either...folks are having issues with them aswell on mtd roms. I use a pny class 10 16gb with no issues.
OK, well.... so I picked up a Sandisk 8gb class 6 card today. Everything seemed to be fine, I was able to flash Cyanogenmod 7 (stable), and I was very happy.
HOWEVER. CWM stopped being able to see the card, and it doesn't appear to post when I've got it plugged into my card reader... When the phone is booted up though, it can read the card no problem. Now what? Re-ODIN CWM? Start from scratch? Get myself a new phone?

What do you mean cwm stoped seeing the card? Are you saying when you go into recovery your get the e: cant mount errors? Also just to make sure, on the stock cm7.1 kernel you cant three finger into recovery oncer your on cm7 or you will get those errors. Only enter recovery by long pressing the power button, select reboot, then recovery.
I am having the same problem. I have tried 4 different SD Cards. 2 of the cards are SDHC, the 1st one I had is fried now, the others can be read by my computer and when the phone is booted, but not in recovery.

I am having the same issue.. The stock Samsung 16GB class 2 that came with the phone started to give me E:Can't mount /sdcard issues.. Bought a Kingston 32GB class 4 card (verified as genuine) and still the problem persists.. Formatted fully, scanned with no errors, yet they all work when the phone boots up..

Well 32gb cards dont play nice with mtd roms... Also dont buy anything less than a class 6. Pny makes a class 10 8gb for 12.99 or the 16gb for 20.00. Thats what i run and all my issues are gone. My stock card absolutely hated mtd based roms. Took me a week of trying crazy **** to get on cm7 only for it to come up damaged a day later. Works fine on touch wiz tho.

I finally got it fixed. Turned out that voodoo lagfix was turned on and the system not converted to EXT4.. Had to enable voodoo on boot so that the system would be converted to EXT4 and then I was able to access the sd card in CWM..
Funny you mentioned that I should get a class 10 because I was under the impression that anything over class 4 suffers from poor random read speeds and the benefit is only faster writing. And in applications like mobile phones, read speeds are more important for accessing data.. Double the storage capacity and faster class than my original Samsung 16gb class 2, I think I'm ahead of the game in any regards at this point..

I searched the forums on here and deducted that information from what people were saying.. Again, I'm just going by what I read on XDA..
As far as lag fix being on, I am completely lost on how or why it was enabled (I was on MTD rom) .. I odined the KGB kernel and converted to EXT4 on boot.. When I rebooted back into recovery, the card could be accessed.. I then flashed the SC.05 and the conversion back to RFS occurred on first boot (don't know why).. Rebooted to recovery after that and converted back to EXT4 and I'm doing good now..
All I know is that I'm able to access the card in CWM now and my phone hit over 2000 on quadrant for the first time ever using this ROM.. Only lag I notice is using Gallery to open my pictures..

buy a class6 or higher sd card and your issue will be solved.
As I said in my other post:
Sounds like you need a new SD card. Some of the stock cards don't play well with MTD based ROMs. I think it's a speed issue, and MTD based roms assume cards are at least a certain speed. I would probably get a Class 10 microSD card (be careful if you get 32gb, there are known problems with some of them)
I bought http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-microSDHC-Class-Memory-Adapter/dp/B0058GH4U0/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1335980268&sr=8-12 and have had no problems at all after!
thanks everyone for replying...i might have to just upgrade to a different card and see if that will solve the problem.

every since switching to a class 10 card, i have had no mounting issues or sd card damage errors since. my device also seems to be more tolerant of dirty flashing, before i had to always wipe data...also the phone seems faster loading apps, pictures etc.

I bought a used Amaze and put a formatted SD card (FAT32) in it and it worked fine.
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone (still s-on). It's running stock ICS ROM. (Not really needing to flash a custom ROM yet) The sd card was fine for a while.
Now, the Amaze cannot see the SD card. I reformatted it on my laptop again (FAT32) and it still cannot read it. However, in recovery (4EXT) it can read it. Also, my laptop can see the sd card.
I tested 2 other sd cards and the phone could not read those either and they all work on my other phone.
I took it to a repair shop since it seemed to be a hardware issue and they replaced the sd card slot and the phone still could not read the sd card.
The technicians said they have never seen anything like it. I can still use the phone without the sd card being functional but I'd like to have that working.
Any other suggestions?
Fixed the issue. Flashed Dark Glass One 0.2 ROM and the sd card and phone memory is now seen.

Hey tube, good looks on this issue. I'm having a similar problem with a Samsung Droid charge and just wanted to ask a couple questions.
- did you flash back to stock unrooted in between any of this?
- did the ROM have any other instability when you were on stock root?
- could either stock or custom recovery see the SD card when the OS couldnt?
Trying to draw some parallels between your and my situation, and wondering if I can learn anything. Thanks man!

"No External Storage Available"
Hi all,
First time poster here. I've done as much research as possible, tried multiple ROMs, tried ICS SD Binder, looked in multiple threads, and on multiple sites, but have yet to discover a resolution to my problem.
I'm on the HTC Amaze with TELUS being my provider. I have followed the steps to unlock/root the phone, and have tried CM10, Stock, and now using Dark Glass. The rom is working great, love it. The only problem is that I'm getting a message that says No External Storage Available when trying to use the camera. I find it strange that it won't recognize it since the music player works, and even a file manager such as ASTRO can locate the files on the SD card. I'm not even able to open the gallery as it can't find the SD card.
As noted above, I've tried a few different things, but still the problems persists. Any recommendations?
Thanks!

Make sure your SD card is formatted to FAT 32. Do the long formatting not the quick one. Backup your SD card before formatting.

You better format it in your custom recovery though..
Thanks for the reply guys. Unfortunately that hasn't fixed the problem.
I've flashed the stock ROM back, and the card works as normal.
Even when the SD wasn't working with the old ROM, it would still be picked up in recovery.
Any other ideas.
