My TMOUS HD2 (rooted, running ICS 4.0.4 with 16gb Micro SD card) isn't reading my Micro SD Card, when rebooted or SD taken out and put back in, it says 'Safe to Remove' and all my apps that were installed in SD suddenly disappear in Trebuchet and appear as non-loading in Go Launcher. I read it on my TF201 and my computer and they all say it is supposedly empty, although I had installed Temple Run 2 just hours before on my SD. When I place it in my computer, it detects the card but it asks if I want to format (which I don't want) and in my Transformer Prime (TF201) it just doesn't read it. My card had everything, and I don't know how to get it back. I don't know if I have to get a new card and reformat or screw my rom and install JB. Is the card just dead and all the stuff deleted or is it unreadable? Help! Plus, It's NOT ROOTED according to my phone, which makes me really worried if I have to root it again ._. and if I have to reinstall a rom. By the way (I know this is a lot) I tried to take a screenshot, but, again, it doesn't work since storage is on SD thanks to editing stuff in ROM Toolbox. Please help me, it would mean a lot. Thanks!

Use one of these to format your SD-card again:
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/
http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/index.html
I want to format it.. but I want to back up it first because I have a lot of things that I dont want to lose.. But even my pc, doesnt shows me the storage card.. doesnt recognize it, to back up it..
please help..
If even card reader on PC can't recognize contents of SD, you can probably throw away that SD...
But, for last chance, try to read it with SD reader which came with SD card (if that was a case) or on another PC...
I will try my SD card in another phone... i havent SD reader.. I havent done anything to my phone.. It was ok, when I woke up and my phone didnt recognize my SD..
I heard about a program called restoration.. search for this..
maybe this can help me?.. format my SD, and then restore my things on SD again?
sooner or later all sdcards die be sure to backup important data from your sdcard to your computer once in awhile
My experience....
I see a number of comments about this problem in the Touch HD so I will share my experiences.
My HD quit recognizing the memory card some time ago. Occasionally I could re-install a ROM and get it to function briefly. As soon as I installed programs on the card, the links would disappear and the card would become unreadable. I tried different cards, I tried new cards, I formatted the card on my PC, I ran task29 to clean ROM memory prior to installing a new ROM and I I tried the stock HTC ROM. The micro SD cards are always perfectly functional and readable on my PC and on other devices including a friend's Touch HD.
After all of this, I gave up and I now use the HD without a memory card. I have become very frugal with memory useage!
If anyone discovers a fix for this malady, your solution would be greatly appreciated.
I searched.. and the only I found is that we have, as soon as we get our new SD card, to do a FAT32.. so it will not have a lot of problemss
If the card is formatted correctly, and is recognisable in a PC and other devices, then it's more than likely to be a hardware issue.
I know, because one of my devices is also broken exactly like this. It's likely the SIM/SD Comboboard, but I've never found a supplier for spares . . anyone know of anywhere?
Hello guys,
Same problem with touch hd. tried everything mentioned. task29, different roms, other sd-cards, reformatting etc... still no luck!
hope someone is going to find a solution soon!
Greetings
disapearing micro SD
I also had the same problem some time ago when connecting to pc through USB opting for disc drive connection and not using the sync button, then solved the problem when I flashed a new ROM.
Regards,
I also have this problem.
I've had the 8GB SD Card for about a year now and untill now, its always worked without a problem.
I installed a Topix Rom this weekend. I also installed most of my programs to the storage card.
Within a day it was dropping in and out. I am able to see the card, but not run any mp3's off it.
When the card drops out, I can either take the card out and reinsert it or restart the phone and the card is visible again. It still cant play mp3s or videos though.
Anyone else having this problem since they've installed a new Rom?
Hello I'm new here, I couldn't find what i was looking for so hear i go...My sd card is not working either after about 1 year just stopped working the phone says it is not installed so is it possible to reinstall it? Thanks...
Quick update...
I tried formatting the sd card & it worked. Thanks people

Spares for hardware fault
Just to add, as I said previously about my device, the SDCard reader was faulty, and HTC Europe refused to supply the part without a HTC Service Centre repair.
For anyone else having hardware issues, I managed to source the part from China, and now it's working perfectly again after a simple repair.

I seem to be "missing" space on my SD card and I can't figure out what the eff is up. When connected to my PC it shows very little free space (less than 30MB) but when copying all the files to my pc or looking in properties it only has 700 used. I need to put one of my NAND images on it, help...
Here is what happened. I'm new to flashing roms/rooting so bear with me. Had Cyanogen 6.1 stable working flawlessly. Tried installing a theme and got it stuck in a boot loop. I recovered my Nandroid backup and since have been having problems. Mainly the market FCs and so can't get Titanium installed to restore my apps/settings.
I got bright and put my NAND backups on my desktop trying to free some space to make a new one. Bad idea, now there is still hardly and space and I can't load one of my old ones. Any ideas? Is the card dying or is this happened to some of you before? I ordered a new SD card, but it wont be here for a few days. I guess I could limp without all my apps/settings, but I'd prefer not to.
I would copy all of the contents of the SD card to your computer (recommended to do anyways), format the card, boot up the phone, then copy the contents of the SD card from your computer back to the phone.
When I switched SD cards to a 16GB, I tried copying everything to that right away before I had first installed it to the phone, and it wiped the SD card at boot. Lucky I had it backed up on my computer, so I just moved it over and no issue since.
That's my experience.
So I rooted this stupid tablet and put the custom acer recovery app or whatever it is on it. Installed the proper CWM, and when I boot into recovery and try into install zip from SD card all it shows is "Lost.dir". Nothing else. What am I doing wrong?? The ROM/Kernel I want are on the root of my sd card, why isn't it showing up?
Because the tablet isn't stupid it knows exactly where the files should go but you didn't put them there? You just put your files into a wrong directory namely your internal storage.
/sdcard/ = internal storage which isn't used by CWM
/mnt/external_sd/ = SD card which is accessed by CWM
EDIT:
And in case you're looking for USB... The tablet mounts it under /mnt/usb_storage

Files can also be put on a USB flash drive and CWM will see them there also

Some SD cards can not be seen bybrecovery.try formatting your card on another android device or a format utility from your PC.use fat file system.if still no luck try a fifteenth SD card
Goodluck
FAT, FAT32, external sd, usb drive, no matter where I put it, or what i do doesn't show it.
I give up.

Take your time and have patience. I know the feeling. How are you transferring the data to the micro SD card? Can you use a file manager app to access the card, /mnt/external_sd?

Again over and over ..try another SD card maybe two this is a very common issue.very common
Try diffrent SD cards if you have not
Or use a USB drive and flash from there. I do it all the time if I'm to lazy to copy the files to my SD card.
I am also stumped with the the acer reading the micro sd card. I am able to see it using root explorer. However, I cant see it when it is connected to my computer. I had to place my sd card in my galaxy tab in order to transfer files to it, and then place it in the iconia. That appeared to be the only way to put the rom on the root of my sd card. I want to save my stock back up to my computer in case I damage my sd card, but there seems to be no way to do it with out removing the card and placing it in another device. Am I missing something? Dont want to start another thread, so I'm asking here because it looks like it's been seen by other users.

FYI ( just in case ) !!!
When fully booted... SD CARD is the internal storage... and the physical card is shown as EXTERNAL SD CARD !
When at CWM recovery... SD CARD is the real physical card !
again KNOWN ISSUE

The other night I got a NC with 3.1 and decided to root it and flash cm7 onto it. This all was going fine until after the rom flashed and I booted up the device I have micro SDCard 2GB in the NC and it isn't able to read the SD card it says I need to put one in. Every time I go to download something off the browser it says I need an SD card to download this so and so file. I used my phone SD card in the NC to see if that will work and same problem persists. I have .apk files on my SD card I would like to run on the NC but can't get them off the SD card. This NC belongs to my brother who I was trying to help out by rooting and putting cm7 on it for him but now there's really nothing he can do with it any and all help is welcome. If someone knows how to fix this please tell me. (When I plug it into the computer it still can't read the files on the NC. Even if I mount SD card or USB storage through recovery) please help

Try plugging in the SD card by itself to your PC to see if it got corrupted, and if it hasn't you can transfer your files, format it and give it another go. I hope that helps.
Yep. Sounds like a card corruption problem. I had one. Reformat was the only solution. Be prepared to sacrifice your apks. And always drop spare copies onto your computer, just in case.
Hi All
I have been using Android GB on my HTC HD Touch 8282 (Windows mobile) till today morning.
and suddenly my phone stopped responding. i gave a hard reboot to my card and it booted in windows. To run Haret.exe i tried finding it. but phone is not recognizing SD card itself. I checked SD card using card reader. it is using. i inserted another SD card in card slot but its still not detected by phone.
Is there any way i can boot directly from SD card to Android . or can i install Android on my Windows memory directly as i dont want to use Windows.
Please help me you genius people.
Abhi
You can't load Android without sdcard... by now. I got lots of problems with microsd HC ones, try a normal or "old" microsd card! Then, if you don't want to load windows before running hare.exe, I suggest you to install Gen Y bootloader (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623792), very simply and user friendly! It allows you to run Android very quickly and automatic, you choose between Windows and Android at startup...

Unfortunately if his SD card reader isn't working, Gen.Y isn't going to do a whole lot of good.
OP, if your phone in WinMo isn't reading SD cards, you've got big issues. Try re-seating the card, make sure it's being seated correctly, etc.
Try a non HC card as was previously suggested.
Good luck.
