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 donĀ“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.

X10i weird issue with SD card

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.

G3 Not booting with a 4gb micro SD card

So I was using Kyrillos' 4.1 non OC ROM and I wanted an app to take snapshots of my phone and downloaded picme... After installing it, it asked for superuser allowance and I gave it but the phone froze... I rebooted and it stuck on the booting logo (green android with a circle)... I tried taking out the micro SD and it booted fine. So my problem is with my 4gb micro SD. I formatted it both with windows and EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition but still it doesn't work. I even had EASUS to check my SD for bad sectors, but nothing... I flashed Kyrillos' new 5 beta ROM but still it freezes on the boot logo... It's weird because my SD card has only 1 partition and no bad sectors. Help please?
Try another sd?

I did try the SD the phone came with but my non-working SD card is my bigger one... 4gb capacity. My point is that my SD card is usable on any other device except my phone until recently

I already did... In FAT32 and still nothing
clarkkov said:
Format it to ext. Kikiriki rom requires sd to be in the phone when flashing, it places swap and app2sd onto sd. This is one of the reasons you shouldnt use custom c#ap. If it does not work in ext, reflash kiki rom with this sd inside the phone. If it does not work after this, say good bye to your sd, kiki has fried its mbr.

Who talked about Kyrillos' rom being crap... Sorry but it is way ahead of most ROMs... Even for Galaxy 3 the speeds are light fast and I never ever had any problems with the ROM again... Some people like to push their stuff to the limits and not get everything a company gives them. Do we have an official Froyo update from Kies yet? Nope! Hence the custom ROM
I got it working... I formatted it to EXT2 and then formatted it again on my phone, and my phone can boot with the 4gb sd... Thanks clarkkov !!!

please you a android phone to format your micro sd card, that will solve the problem
I had the same issue, tried formatting the sdcard with my PC (fat32) but that did not work. The device itself running plain Android 3.0.1 never had an issue to access this fat32 formatted card but nogo with CWM.
I then bought a fresh new, preformatted sdcard and with this one it worked like a charm.
Maybe formatting with Android would have solved my issue too...

How to use your PC to format!
Hey guys,
I'd strongly recommend using this program to format SD/SDHC Cards of any type:
SD Formatter 3.0 for SD/SDHC/SDXC
It works wonders and negates the need to format with an Android device.
Hope it works for you as it did for me!
Cheers,
Alex
Brilliant .. thanks! I struggled with this problem for hours and used multiple SDHC cards--none worked, until I formatted with that tool!
I just can't mount my sdcard at all it works fine in my fascinate but when I pop it in the micro sd slot it doesn't work

thanks so much! was having a bear of a time, couldn't figure out why it still worked in honeycomb but not in CWM. got it now! even tried formatting with android phone and computer before. now onto trying my custom cooked taboonay! lol that's so much fun to say...
I eventually gave up and put my new rom on a thumb drive. Clockwork mounted my thumb drive as /sdcard and all was gravy.

[Q] U8800 (not Pro) 2.3.5 beta 1.0 issues

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?

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.

external sd card not mounted miui

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.

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.
