format your micro SD card in another phone or one of the market apps or try a did card. Fat 32
Tried that, no luck. Anything else?

Use a different microSD card - does issue still happen? If so, it's probably not the MicroSD card. If not - problem solved, the card is the issue.
Does the other sd have to be inserted permanently or can it just be inserted for flashing only?
also if I format the sd card on CWM is it formating the internal card? or the external card???

You can use it for flashing a rom image only, no need to keep it in the system after applying a update/rom to the a500.
You can also flash a rom from USB key if you have one (FAT32 is a must).

Are you using the mount option in CWM? If so, that's for mounting the SD card on to a connected PC as a disk drive...
If not, and no external SD cards are working for you, you can also use a USB memory stick as mentioned above.
I used another sd card all is well now, last question didnt get an answer for,
In CWM does formating sd card mean formating external or internal sd?

Hello,
I installed CM7 on my HTC Panache. After it was installed, I formatted my SD card through setting. Before formatting, I Unmounted the card. Now its not mounting. I click on mount and it shows the circle then, nothing happens. Any idea what to do ?
If u have a pc, do a full format, the long format, not the quick one, and make sure its fat32 if given the choice.

So i decided to install Aurora. But I can't acces my external sd card with cwm (5.0.2.7). No matter if i press install from sd card or internal sd card it still opens the internal one. Also I can't mount usb mass storage and sd-ext(whatever that is). Does someone know why can't I acces my external sd card?
Help would be very apretiated.
Use 5.5.0.4

A common problem. CWM seems to be quite sensitive to cards. You can either try reformatting it in a PC or other Android device, or try a different card.
thanks, i reformated it to ntfs, then fat32 to no luck..i see it fine in my skyrocket...ill try reformatting again
reformatted back to fat32 now is working..thanks

hello. yesterday i had issues with my 3 years old 2gb micro sd card. it didn't mount, i got the message "it had beeb removed" , and blank sd card. i thoght it was time for an update. i bout an 8 gb micro sd card but it doesn't seem to work either. it says damaged/blank sd card and sometimes it only works when i choose to format it. i tries formating with pc and didn't work. i also tried formating data, cache and dalvik cache but that doesn't work. i want to install the 2.3 official update but since sd card is not working i can't. so i'm stuck. is there any way i can flash 2.3 withoud ex sd card? i tried using other cards, but they don't work too. if i get it to work , when i reboot the phone the same message comes up

What ROM are you using?
By the way, android needs to format a new sdcard so it can be used to store data on.

aurora ics. i want to get back to stock 2.3.5 cause can't stand the battery drain any more but i can't as bootloader doesn't recognize the sd card
So your sdcard is pretty much completely dead? Can your computer recognize your SD card? If your pc can recognize it but your phone can not then you should send your phone to service. Also try reformatting the SD card and installing Aurora ICS by doing a clean install through your internal SD card.
EDIT: You can install zips from internal SD card using TWRP v2.5.0.0 by forumber2.

Hey. Thanks for your reply. Yes computer recognizes the card just fine. I tried formating the card but don't work. There are times when card is being recognized but not for too long. And that happens to recovery mode.Can u give me steps or link to flash rom via internal sd?

Ask someone on the u8800 forum. I have a u8800pro sorry. I'm assuming that you have to move the zip into your internal memory, then install twrp 2.5.0.0 and choose install zip from internal memory.

yeah, the thing is that i cannot use my internal memory. when i try to download the rom from my phone it asks for sd and when i try to move rom from sd to internal sd it says error. i also tried to make my internal sd card "external sd card" but when i try to safe the system/etc file it says it can't be saved
Why don't you download the ROM to your computer and move it to your internal SD card with a USB cable?

I realised it is my new sd card. Its micro sd too but a little different in shape. So I just used a tape to get it well attached to the port. Now everything works good

Hello.
Have same problem Froyo 2.2.2, micro-sd to phone and nothing. Show SD card space Unvailable. Done all what found in internet, formated to FAT32, factory reset, hard reset. All internal sd files still on phone, is this normal or factory reset don´t work normal? Phone works but wanna root it and install custom rom. Phone touch screen was cracked around 2 years ago, untill today it was on box and unused. Ordered new touch screen and had plan to make it working phone again but now problems. Don´t remember, is it rooted or not but recovery are not installed. Also have wifi problems but thats other topic talk.
Installed stock 2.3.5 but no changes.
