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?

troubleshoot
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?

Recovery can't mount sd card

For some reason while the phone is on, it recognize my sd card. But when I try to flash a rom, the recovery won't mount my sd card so I can select file to flash.

I had the same problem. I had used Odin to flash it back to stock and then I rerooted and flash the Rom. I had a bad download that messed mine up. But just Redland stock through Odin and try again it works well it worked for me.

That's because you need to format your card to FAT32. CWM won't recognize exFAT.

[Q] Can't find sd card in recovery

I having a problem with my sd card not being read in recovery. I have a 64 gb sandisk micro sd. It works fine in the gallery and everything else on the phone but when I go to the recovery to try to install a new ROM or something on the external card, it says it can't find sd card. Can someone please help?

Use TWRP recovery.

I have same card, and the latest from twrp recognizes it fine. I think its 2.5.0.2 and above.

To fix your problem is to convert your car to FAT32 EXFAT isnt supported or it might be vice versa lol but converting the card to another version will do the trick

Thanks for the help guys. TWRP worked.

mounting sd card prob

i installed one of my other rooted roms and my sd card wont mount exsd i tried mounting my card in my buddys s4 and it mount in his .i try is sd card in mine it wont mount. any ideas

Did you try formatting the card?

Try a stock rom, if no good on stock, try formating via computer to fat32. If no go, you probably need to replace the sdcard/sim card flex tray.
