The sd card works with the system, and I can mount it on the computer, but clockworkmod won't work if I try to do anything that would use it. It just says can't mount SD card. I have tried to use it several times, and I have rebooted many times. But no matter what I do, including formatting the sd card, and reflashing the recovery. I don't know why it won't work though.
Easiest thing to do would be to flash Amon-Ra's recovery. Generally considered the better choice for the Eris. If you aren't sure how to go about this, just use Rom Mananger. There is a free and paid version. I'm not sure if the free version has the flash new recovery, but think so.
Fixed
I tried both, and neither was working. I finally fixed it by formatting the sd card with the phones option, instead of with my computer.

I am rooting my daughters Droid Eris. I used the app from the market and flashed Cyanogen 7. Everything went well until I tried to start restoring her apps and found that the phone is saying there is no sd card. When I go into setting to mount it it is greyed out and wont do anything. the gallery and rom manager also say there is no sd card. the card I am using is not partitioned. I tried taking a partitioned sd out of my old Cliq and putting it in and then it says it has a unsupported system or something like that but I did notice that the mount sd in settings was no longer greyed out. If I reboot into recovery it will recognize the card because it lists what is on it. I have searched everything I can find and cant find any answers. Oh, also, when I plug in the usb to the computer it does nothing then either. Any Ideas??
Go into recovery since her phone can read the card from there and reformat the card. You may also want to wipe data and dalvik and reflash the rom to be on the safe side.
Make sure that you backup anything currently on the SD card before formatting it, which you can do from the usb-ms toggle option in recovery. You will need to copy the rom file back to the phone after formatting the card which can be done from this option as well.
There should be an android.secured folder on the SD card. Delete that. You don't want it on there so make sure you don't copy it back to the card (it will come back after the first boot and it can then be left alone, I like to delete mine before each flash though to avoid possible problems.)
EDIT - DONT FORGET TO FLASH GAPPS RIGHT AFTER FLASH THE ROM! ALL CM7 ROMS REQUIRE THIS!
Let me know if you have any problems

Totally of the topic BUT I'm Selling a fully rooted Droid Eris running CM7 port ROM for $90...interested PM me.
When I reboot my phone or boot into recovery my SD card does not mount. I have to open the back of the phone and remove the card and reinsert it. When I do this it mounts and works fine until I reboot.
I have reformatted and repartitioned the card and everything seems to be in order.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
my opinion
Have you tried formatting it in a digicam? Maybe upgrading your Sd card into a higher number?
It is already class 6 so don't need to upgrade. Have not formatted it in digicam but have through phone.
> question is, what recovery are u using
Just the basic 5.0.2.0 CWM. Why would that make a difference?
Hmm. Updated to Prerelease2 and SD card seems to be mounting fine again. Strange behavior indeed.
recovery
Ok still getting problems. Which recovery should I be using?
try to chkdsk your sd card with fix code. or you can do in in explorer if you are using windows, dont forget to check the fix error or something like that
Will do. Thanks.
I formatted it in a digital camera and that seemed to fix it. Thanks for the suggestion.
I used ODIN to get CWM on the phone, and when i boot into CWM i tried to install the root .zip file but it always says it can not mount SD card. any suggestions on how to resolve? No issues with the SD card when trying to access it from within the OS or through windows when connected to the pc.
you can try to reformat it via a pc, but your best bet is to replace it with a class 6 or higher unit.
I will give that a try when I get home. Thanks
I had an issue awhile back where I couldn't mount the SD in recovery unless I booted from power off (not reboot).
I ended up using my sd card from my droid x2. It worked fine with that one. Thanks for the suggestion. Once I got root I just put my original card back in since it works fine from within the os.
Hey so I've been trying to find a solution to this problem for a while now and I can't seem to find anything to fix it.
So I went to format my SD card through my phone (I am running Liquid's ICS rom atm). I went into settings > storage > erase sd card, and followed through on everything. After I accepted that my stuff would be lost I got a notification saying the SD Card is safe to remove, and in storage it gives me the option to Mount the SD Card.
However, when I press mount it acts like it is mounting for like half a second then quickly just says it is safe to remove and the mount button is clickable again. No matter how many times I click it, it will just do the same thing.
I tried booting into recovery and mounting it through there and formatting it and other nonsense and it just says error mounting sd card.
I have also taken out my battery and sd card and left it for like 10 minutes and tried again. Still nothing.
The only thing I haven't tried doing yet is putting it into a computer to manually format it that way, but I don't have a device to be able to do that at the moment so I am looking for a way to solve this without having to drive 23 miles to the nearest electronics store to fix this.
I don't think my SD card is corrupt, I mean it was working perfectly (it is a 32gb card from Verizon when I got the TB) and it just started doing this after I tried to format it through the ROM.
Any ideas?
EDIT:
HEY! So holy **** I had a little bit of a moment there. Anyway, I solved the problem on my own. So what I did was boot into recovery, and partition the SD Card under the Advance option. I just did the first setting for each so my operation was like this: Recovery > Advance > Partition SD Card > (Power button for whatever the first option was until it started partitioning).
After that I tried mounting the SD card and it didn't give me an error. So I went into the recovery settings to format the sd card (still in CWM recovery) and after it formatted I booted up and sure enough to worked!
So this thread can be deleted or locked or whatever. Other people may run into this problem and this worked for me so yea.
Thanks for the thread space lol
Have you tried 4ext Recovery?
I flashed the TWRP recovery compatible with treble from the Screwd ROM thread because I was having a problem with the normal TWRP (that is it didn't show the date or hour correctly even if I changed them).
I flashed it using flashify, I went to recovery to see if everything was ok, it was so I rebooted. But after the reboot I noticed that my SD (exFAT) was shown as "corrupted" even though it was working perfectly fine before I flashed the recovery. I tried flashing the normal TWRP again from both, the app and the recovery itself but it didn't solve the problem.
I even clean flashed the ROM I was using but no luck. What it's weird is that both recoveries recognized my SD card. Also, the ROM recognizes other SD card (exFAT) but not the original I was using.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Please help.
You really shouldn't use apps to flash stuff. Only use TWRP. Recovery apps cause more problems than anything.
Take the card out, format it on your PC, boot into system and set it up again. Hopefully it's not completely dead, but I've heard plenty of stories of Android phones corrupting SD cards randomly. That's probably why no Google phones come with SD card slots--SD cards are unreliable even as portable media storage.
