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,

formatting did not help
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.

Same issue no clue what to do
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 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 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've been having ongoing problems with my SD card in both MIUI and CM7. Basically, sometimes my card will mount and sometimes it won't. When I try to mount it, it sometimes says "damaged card" or "blank card" There's no consistent behavior. Sometimes it loads up fine on reboot, sometimes it works fine if I eject and reinsert it or unmount/mount it, but sometimes not. I've tried two different cards - one a sandisk 32gb class4, one a sandisk 2gb class4. I've tried reformatting the cards both on the phone and on the computer, using windows standard format and also the sdformatter program. I've loaded each ROM several times, ODINed back to stock, ext4 formatter, kernel cleaner; tried different kernels, different radios, different cards.
The cards I'm convinced are not the problem, because they work fine on the computer and also on my phone using different ROMs. I've seen people come up with this problem here and there, but not found a reliable fix. Every thing I've seen recommended I've tried, but nothing lasts. Sometimes things will work fine for a couple of days, then I'll start having problems again.
bump - anybody have any input on this problem?

just flashed cm7. My sdcard works fine on cm6.
the other weird, app2sd is just fine, every app on that partition working, except accessing sdcard.
sdcard also can mount on recovery using, as well as mount mass storage via recovery (mass storage failed on OS)
The only problems I've ever seen with sd cards is on ec09 but not cm7 or miui.. based on what you describe...I would think its a hardware issue with your phone not the rom, not the kernel, nor the sd card itself, have you tried pulling the battery, removing the sd card and cleaning the contacts on your phone with some rubbing alcohol on a q-tip..do the same to the card or you can use a pencil eraser for the card...is it possible you could have tried to insert a card the wrong way or a little crooked? I'm just brain storming for ya cause I'm not sure on a definite fix.
If you can, I would back up everything on your card while its still usable just in case its crapping out on ya

Thanks. I haven't tried that, but not sure how it could be a hw issue since the card works just fine on other ROMs on the same phone. Never had any SD card issues of any kind until I started messing with these GB ROMs. I will try, though.
I'm really thinking of going back to a froyo rom for now because I need stability. But this is such an intermittent/rarely reported issue that I don't think anybody's really working on it. I don't know that it will ever get fixed, in other words. Oh, well.
Well, I've given up on cm7 for now. I've gone back to ed05, trying the powerwashed ROM for now. Got to get some stability out of my phone, and unfortunately, I'm coming up with nothing from cm7. Maybe if there's a big update or something I'll have time to play with it again.
solved on CM-7.1-Pre
tried installing other rom base on CM-7.1-Pre and it work like a charm.
still curious if i have bad sdcard, tried back to previous ROM, and.......... the problem persist there.
so I decide to try dualboot.....
All my sd card mount issues are usually solved with a battery pull

I also have problems with my SD card. I can't partition mine. I more or less bricked mine about a month ago flashing a voodoo kernal, or not voodoo (I can't figure the whole thing out anyway) where it wasn't supposed to be (I think....), and followed Dale V's instructions on unbricking EXACTLY. I've now gone clear back to Eclair 4 times, ODIN'D AND HEIMDAL'D each and every time I've gone back to stock, AND I've used different links to different DL09, DL01, ED01, EB01, ED04, and on, and on, and on...and every time, my SD card partitions perfectly, I think (at least I don't get the E: can't format, file doesn't exist crap when I try to wipe dalvik cache, and only dalvik cache). As soon as I flash 7/17 CM7, the updates, gapps, glitch kernel, I have no partition. I can see the partition with file managers, but there's nothing there.
So, I totally feel your pain.
And while i'm here, why do I have a .apk called FOTAKILL in my files????
Peace!!

CM7.1 pre is an older build, correct? Where can I find it? Am I understanding that you install this one first and upgrade from there, or just leave it at this build? Anything else I should know if I want to try this out?
having the same problem mate my sd card is damage after i flashed miui
when i connected my phone to pc to test the connectivy it also cannot detect my phone btw my phone is sgs19000..and when i ejected the cable it says my sd cad is damaged..i know i safely remove it..but what is the proper way to safely remove it in miui because its a little different compare to stock/other ROms..
me too, but only on miui & 32gb c4 sundisk microsd on stock all normal. On all new kernel when my phone wake up I see this message.
I can't see problem on old kernel - try kernel neo09.
And maybe this help too - multimount app from market.

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.

Try taking your sd card out and remounting it....sometimes cards get corrupted so you may need to open cmd and run chkdsk /X /F (sd card drive letter)
weird sd card thing
So this was really weird... (meant to edit /update this earlier .. got called into work....)... so i had been running cm10 for awhile when i deciced to try another rom.. made a nand. backup titainium my back up pro (online )ect.... and went ahead and flashed new rom, after a bit i decided i didnt like new rom and went to restore my previous cm 10 rom from nandroid...no worries ..but what must of happened is my nand backup must have been corrupted some how cuz my sd wouldnt mount off my restored rom.. after trying numerous reboots /wipesand trying the sd card out of my wifes og evo.. (which wouldnt mout either) I went and flashed an viper rom i had in my backups... sd mounted FINE!!!.. dont know what happend but...my titanium backup i made is now toast.. now im restoring from my online my backup pro..sghould do te trick... the nand backup i origially made must hvae somehow been corrupted, any one heard of this kind of thing before?.. one thing this n00b has learned ... redundant backups can save your butt!!!!!!
Hi, new guy with english problems here, be gentle
So basically I lost access to any kind of storage on my SGS2 running CM10.1. Here's what happened. I was using internal and sd for a long time, then, as I needed my SDHC elsewhere i removed it. Nothing was lost as all data was stored internally. BUT. After formatting SD in FAT32 and putting it back everything crashed. Apps are refusing to work, demanding an SD card. Files Manager says that folder was lost. All of them. First thing I wanted to do was to flash CM once again, a newer NB but my PC does not read internal storage either, and putting it in sd doesn't do me any good as cwm doesn't see it also. CM can access internal, so i flashed the same version of CM once again - the only one i got there. Nothing changed. I'm a bit lost and seek any advice
U checked if u really format it with Fat32?
