OK, I used xRecovery to install a custom ROM on my X10i with baseband 2.1.54 and an odd thing occured.
The fully installed ROM could not see the SD card. So, I thought that was odd and I tried another. Same problem occured so I tried another one.
Now, I can't get any ROM to recognise the SD card.
So I can take out the SD card, copy a ROM to it, and use xRecovery to install it on the phone but as soon as it boots up, then the SD card isn't recgonised.
So far I have tried Cyanogen 2.2.1 Gingerbread, MIUI and FreeX10beta 4, all to no avail. When you go to the SD card options in settings, it has them all greyed out. But xRecovery sees it no problem.
I also tried installing aROM, and then before leaving xRecovery formatting the card and then booting. Again to no avail.
Can anyone help?
Cause now, as the ROM can't see the card, PC COmpanion and SEUS won't even recover the phone because it thinks there's no SD card in it!
Help!
Thanks

I've got the same problems with every 2.2+ firmwares, while everyone says they are fine all the way. Even if I press "Mount SD Card" in Wolf's CM, nothing will happen.
Try using an app called multi mount SD to get your card mounted. I've never had that problem but have seen it brought up before.

Anyone know where I'd get a generic ROM for 2.1, baseband 2.1.54?

i had the same problem as well with 2.2 rom's thats the biggest reason why i went back to 2.1, seems like a few of us are having the same problem with the sd card really weird. hope someone can solve this. was using the stock c2 8g card that came with the phone.
i use cyanogenmod6.1.3 gingerbread v1 from rendiero2005 and i have to say. if my phone turns off after the initail reboot it kicks out the sd card and then i have to start all over again but if i dont reboot or turn off my pkone and just leave it on it works fine and i have no prob at all but the thing is some stuff need you to reboot and thats when the problem starts.

I've had this experience with Link2Sd by having a second (ext2) partition and running 2.2 and/or CM Roms.
You don't have to reformat your SD entirely, just go to this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928622&highlight=link2sd). You basically just have to change the ext2 partition into a FAT32. And if that doesn't work, then you delete that parition (the ext2 one).

I dont have that issue with Rendeiro2005's ROM at all with SD card. U shouldn't have that issue. Did ur sd card work before u put on the ROM?

Everyone in this post who is having issues with sd cards, this can be a issue with the lesser known brands. I have used my sandisk 16gb for over 3 years and in two different phones and never had an issue. Stick with sandisk.

I have similar issues. I use a 2GB kingston micro SD (hardly a lesser known brand, and used it in several nokia's and a LG Cookie.).
With the recent 2.3.3 release, i updated to 2.3.3 where the SD card just wasnt recognized. I then flashed a generic 2.3.3 with flashtools, same problem. I then flashed back to a 2.1 generic and the SD card was recognized again without any problem.
I then rooted and added xRecovery to that 2.1. And then installed wolf's prerooted 2.3.3. Again, no SD card... Also in xRecovery the SD card is not recognized. It give the following error when I try to format the SD in xRecovery (2.3.3):
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/black/mmcblk0)
(Device or resource busy)
Error mounting /sdcard/!
Skipping format...
Done.
The mount option for SD in xRecovery just doesn't work, no errors.

Did you try in recovery using ADB :

mkdir sdcard
chmod 777 sdcard

I tried to update to the 2.33 jachero rom got a bootloop
tried an older version got a bootloop
tried the dudes build got a bootloop
i then used and old sdcard from my sidekick and i got on the dudes build
i tried to use apps2sd on the stock 1gb card which i previously already had and it said i didnt have a partition on it which i did previously so it set it up and rebooted into a bootloop
is this a bad sd card?
any ideas?
Is it trying to move the /data to the sd? If it is, that would be the issue, Least it was for me when I went to 1.51
sorry havent been on here in awhile been on vacation
i tried upgrading to jacshero2.3 at the time and i just got a constant bootloop nothing would happen so i took an old sdcard from my sidekick lx and put back on the dudes build and it worked but i cant reboot the phone from the sd card i tried to install hero on it will bootloop.
also i lost appstosd nothing saves to the sd but if i open partion manager it says i still have ext2.
and if i use appstosd it says i have to partition my sd card and if i try it the phone reboots and bootloops
Yea sounds like you need to redo the sd card.. Id just save the apps and apps-private folder and wipe the rest. Then put the apps and apps-private back on after you wiped the card then relink them.
is it a simple copy and paste
it started up today wit the sd card so ill reformat it
Its not a simple copy and paste.. Usually if you use linux you need to make sure the attributes are saved as well. cp -a

I think OTA means, 'Over The Air'. Try wiping data(BACKUP if neccesary) and then see if it fixes the problem. It could also be some physical like the SD card not mounted properly.
I try wiping but not help, last night i try error chacking options in windows... so far good, will see is problem gone or not.
I don´t know if i can help, but i had a similar problem and it was because my SD was formated in FAT16, when i changed it to FAT32 it worked fine.
Hope it can help you.
It's fat32, btw i think that max size for fat16 partition is 2gb.

ok, till now there wwas not sd cadr unmount, so anybody who have this problem can try chack error chacking options in windows it maybe help.

Does anyone have issues with the SD card after the upgrade?
It says that my 16Gb Sandisk format is unsupported but it fails to format and mount it.
Do you have the chance to format the card directly with your phone instead with the computer?

men, you can put the SD on the garbage because it happen the same to mine to. It's impossible to read it is destroy.

I tried doing it using Settings/Storage/Format via the phone as well but that failed.
Using the SD Formatter from the SD Association worked where Windows Quick Format failed. Never had that before.

Maybe you can search the SDCard in the bin and try to format with the SD Formatter
I had that happening to me before also. This stopped happening after a couple reflashes of the international version. SD mounting on recovery is still broken though.
Too bad the rom never stays operational for more than 1 or 2 hours... it always ends up in a reboot and bootloop until full wipe.
HI
I have updated new 2.3.5 but my screan keeps restarting after Huwei Icon
happens to me also.. now my fone can't read SD card.....
My phone doesn't turn off after i reverted to 2.2.2! When i turn it off, it reboots only. And that is happening everytime! And when i restored a backup, the phone boots only into recovery and then also everytime!

Just so people don't think it happens to everyone, I'm using a 16GB microSD card and it mounts just fine.
Before, when I had an Optimus Boston (Gigabyte GSmart G1305) with CM7 (2.3.*) and the card failed to mount, but after some upgrade it started working. With the 2.1 stock ROM it worked.
Can't tell if the problem was fixed by the CM crew or came from the vanilla android code though.
hi folks.
here's the thing. i just flashed miui 2.1.13 .32 kernel. and when i go to file explorer, i can only see my internal sd card. no matter what program i use... same. AND when i pull out extrenal sd card, phone says that there is NO sd card inserted. but when i put it back in, everything is back to same.
help? thank you
try to push the card slightly to one side or the other. That happened to me too and it was the card that wasn't making contact with the phone.
I got the solution with X5-Setting. Here ist a option for internal or external Card

awesome that helped thank you
I'm running .35 kernel, and have noticed that the last few releases of MIUI wont mount the external SD card after a shutdown & startup. It says the SD card is corrupted & needs to be formatted. I even exchanged the SD card for a new one and I still kept getting the problem. I found that rebooting the phone fixes the problem - the SD is now mounted. So it seems to only be a problem after doing a full shutdown - not a restart.
Managed to kill one of my sdcards in the latest miui, it got dced al the time and now i cant write, delete or format it. Have tried it on my laptop without luck. So be careful

Hi,
I have the same problem! If I power on the smartphone from a full shutdown my sdcard (the external one, 16 GB Sandisk) is not mounted, then if I restart the X5 Pro, Android mount correctly my external sdcard.
For this reason I wanted to change sdcard (before I had a Sandisk 4GB) with a new Sandisk 16GB sdcard. The problem is still here
How can I fix this problem?
I flashed a lot of different roms, based on B512, B540, custom gingerbread 2.3.4, Gingerbread by Genokolar, porting U8860 Huawei Honor for X5Pro, CyanogenMod 7.1 but I have always the same problem.
Please developers, find a solution because it is not a nice bug.
Regards,
kalo86
Experiencing the same problem on my U8800, MIUI 2.1.20, 2.6.35 kernel. After shutdown, the sdcard will not mount. Have to reboot to get it to work again.

Did you try that on Windows tools or with Unix tools?
I have swapped to this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912740
and suddenly it's reporting that my SD card is damaged. I have been using this card for a long time through multiple ROMs without any issues. Looking at the thread, I'm not finding anyone with my problem so far, so it could be something more general.
I did a clean install (wiped all user data and everything). Reformatted the card - no luck. Tried another SD card (an old 1GB micro SD) - still keeps saying "SD Card is Damaged". When I say "OK" and tell the ROM to format it, nothing happens--I get the SD Damaged message back.
Not sure if my ROM installed poorly or I'm having some odd compatibility issues.
Tried formatting from Clockwork mod too - formats successfully, but upon entering the ROM, I get the "Damaged SD" error.

The ROM is installed to NAND with the ODEX thing included (built into the ROM installer options). Just did another factory reset / data clear / reformat / ROM reinstall - still showing that SD card is damaged =/ I guess it's something in the ROM, as it's never been an issue before.
Edit: Solved.. I formatted the SD card in my friend's phone, which has a different version of a CM ROM. Works fine in mine now... odd...
Another SD "broke"
Ok, so now we installed an Android ROM onto the other phone (Paranoid Android for HD2 this time - NAND installation), and the Damaged SD card message is popping up again - with another SD card... that was also working perfectly fine through multiple other ROMs before (is this something JB ROMs seem to break?.. Hard to believe it's a coincidence).
So now I can't fix this second SD card. Tried formatting on my computer - no luck. Formatted in Clockwork recovery - no luck. Trying to format it inside the ROM gives a message that the system is analyzing the card to format it, then nothing happens, and the "Damaged SD" message pops up again... so basically it's not getting formatted. This is on both phones now. I was able to fix the first SD card on an older version of an ICS Android ROM, but as that ROM is no longer installed (bugged out completely, hence trying new ROMs now), both of our phones can't format my card.
Any other way to do this? I really don't understand why the card gets messed up for these JB ROMs, and don't know how to fix it at this point.
For completeness, I did run chkdisk on the card, and it's operating fine, no errors. It works just fine connected as USB storage through MAGLDR, I can install ROMs from it and everything. It just appears corrupted as soon as I enter my Android ROMs.
Use Windows on pc and do slow full format
