hey, i been searching around but still dont know how to solve this, im running on GTX rom and i cant access sd card through file explorer, its always in the My device folder, help would be apprieciated!
Maybe it's not recognised by the smartphone for some reason....You can try to turn off HTC and remove SD card, then turn on and again turn off and insert SD.
Another try is to try to read SD directly with a PC to understand if is broken or need a format.

OK I used the ROM Kitchen to mave a .eve of the upgrade to WM 2003. In the middle of the process my device lost the connection. Now my device is sitting at the upgrade screen telling me it will be done in 5 min.
What can I do?
i had that happen to me today!
usualy, you restart the .exe and insert the xda,
it will restart the process on its own.
if not, go it the SD card method, as described somewhere in this forum.
good luck.
Hmm...
Because I always use the SD method, I have never used the exe files. My guess would be to soft reset the device and hope that when you put it in the cradle again it will let you run the exe. You may try putting it in the cradle while its in bootloader mode if just a soft reset doesn't work. Only other thing I could offer is to write it to an SD card for you - but that would require you mailing me the SD card + rom, me mailing it back, and a lot more than 5 minutes.
Let us know how it works out.
I am trying the SD way. However, program that is suggested does not appear to be writing anything to my SD card. I have a 6 in 1 USB card reader. Any the program ask you to pick drive 2-4. I have tried all drives and can not see the image file when I try to view the contents of the SD card on my PC
You're not going to see the contents when you try to view it on your PC - your PC will tell you the card isn't formatted.
I have resolved my problem thanks for the help!
Everytime i try to copy a large file to my phone i usually get the following message:
"the device has either stopped responding or been disconnected"
in particular i am trying to copy an android build to my sd card so i can test it.
PS: i was trying to format my sd card, but i couldnt find the "sd card format" in the settings...
i am running energy rom (august) and soon will be updated to the latest version
either connect in disk mode, not activesync mode, or use a card reader.
is it possible to tell me how to find the menu to switch to disk mode? tbh im kinda lost in the settings with the energy rom :/
edit: nvm. i think i got it. thanks for the reply mate!
hiii everyone,,,,,,, recently i exchanged my x10 mini pro with my friend and take his rubbish cheap phone for 4-5 days as he needed mine for taking photo of a place.we also exchanged our sd cards, but since i took my phone back and trying to insert my sd card, it is not getting detected and phone keeps restarting automatically again and again and there is no option except watching ,,, my friend told me that he once plug the card in a pc that contains lots of serious virus,, phone works fine after removing the card,, but what is a smartphone without a sd card ( a useless ****)......... thanks in advance,,,, and do reply and help plzzzzzzz,,,, and btw i m using a custom rom ( ginger dx )
i try to help you:
put the SD-Card into a PC. if the PC "see" the Card and you can copy some files from/to SD-Card, than i think the SD-Card is working.
But if the PC don´t "see" the SD-Card, than i think the Card is damaged.
Be careful with the SD-Card at the PC. If your PC read/write any datas from/to the Card an at the same time you put the Card out from the slot, than the card is to 99% damaged.
you should always klick to "remove hardware" at windows - your phone had this funktion too. Use this!
i will give a few things you cant try
1- do what the post above told and if you see the card copy your things and try formating(THIS WILL ERRASE EVERYTHING ON THE CARD, so dont forget to copy)
2- if step dint work, then you can try to use a diferente card and see what happens, if is the phone or you card
3- the last i have if you think the problem is in the phone then you can do a stock format(AGAIN THIS WILL DELETE YOUR PHONE THINGS, so do a backup first of every thing you need)
you can do this on the phone itheres is a option in the configuration
or with PC companion using the rapair they have
hope i helped
Hi
I had some really strange issues with my SD card files and I was wondering if anyone could help.
Let's start with the start .
I'm running a GB ROM (OneDroid GB06) with Franco's kernel from 02 oct. Using a 16Gb class 6 SD card from A-Data. Partitions made with CWR version 3.1 (I think).
Anyway the problem is like this. I am using my phone as a voice recorder with AndRecorder Free from the Market. Usually record 10-15 minutes (up to 15MB) interviews and sometimes I record like 10 of them without downloading them to the PC. The problem I had was that after I recorded a few of them, when I connect the phone to PC with data cable, I can't see the recorded files in Explorer.
At first I had an issue when connecting the phone in USB storage mode it told me that I had some errors that had to be fixed. I could not see the files I needed in explorer and after dissconnecting from PC the files were gone from OI File Manager as well. I was however able to find them in the LOST.DIR.
I took the card out, put it in a card reader, backed up my files and did a full format and put all my files back. No more "need to fix" messages when connecting to PC, however I still cannot see the files that I record in Windows Explorer while connected in USB storage mode. In Oi File Manager I can see them, play them and even send to Dropbox via WiFi. Or if I take the card out and put it in a reader I am able to see them in Explorer as well.
Anyone has any idea about this? Kernel or ROM issue?
I used the same program (AndRecorder) before on 2.2 and I'm using it on another O1 running official 2.2.2 and never had a problem like this.

Few times the same problem happens to me I am using a sandisk 4gb SDHC card and i clicked some photos from the camera and those photos were visible in the gallery but when i connected to usb storage on computer, photos were not visible... I'm also using FRANCO.KERNEL for gingerbread 2oct but with stock ROM..
First - install Root Toolbox or Dual SD mount widget and try double-mounting the card when connected. If it fails try copying the parent folder to PC or try to list via typing (Should be on the sdcard directory you store the files) dir /a:h or dir /a:s in cmd (Should be your last hope, though).
Otherwise, try setting up a FTP Server and make sure the card is using a FAT32 file system.
Ianis, thanks for the solution, but I just want a way to make it work as it should, not to try and go back in DOS mode just to copy some freaking files.
Did you try:

Try fix permissions in CWM. If that is not helping, use Root Explorer an check file or folder permissions. Also try to swich between R/O and R/W modes.

Next time keep your mouth shut. At least this way the other people won't be aware of the disaster that lies within.
Hi everyone,
after 1 year expericing with evo 3d everything is ok,
but in the last month some problems are killing me.
1- when i put the usb connection to download image, after i get sd error and cant see any images from gallery. (files are visible with android assistan, visible after rebooting, tried different cables, different sd, the system doesnt sees anymore images of applications, maybe some refresh problem?)
2- when i turn off the screen and connected to wifi or datamobile, both turn off till i turn on the screen, its a very annoying problem...
3- also the music application cant find my mp3 folder with music.
4- when i open gmail at first it says "no data connection", even if i'm connected, and clicking refresh works. (but i have to click everytime!!!,,,,
5- today i got also a strange grey icon of the battery with an ? on it, first time ever seen it.
other miscellanea information:
the phone is all original, i'm using apex launcher instead of sense, there is a lot of free space on sd, the phone never fell on the floor, nor in the water. camera is working great and all other function, no lag in applications,,
i hope some of you great xda master can help me finding a solution,
thanks to all.

ps. does exist an application that cancel all unused application files in the sdcard? thanks again.
1 and 3 sound like a bad sd card or card reader in the phone. The rest sound like an OS bug, which a factory reset should hopefully clear up.

What do you mean "cancel?"
thanks for the answer,
i guess is the sd card, il try a factory reset. the new sd card that caused problem is a samsung 16 gb cas 6, i thoght it was good.
i mean wipe the garbage, like all those files left behind from applications uninstalled and no longer used.
thanks again.

Well, normally when you connect the USB cable and choose to connect the USB storage then the SD card becomes unavailable to the phone but the computer can then access it. Both the computer and the phone cannot access the SD card at the same time... I will spare you the technical reasons but you should know that this is normal. After you are done copying files with the computer then you must turn off this USB storage mode so the phone can access the SD card again and then it will see all your music and pictures again (all these are stored on your card by default).
This should all be fixed OK by a reboot of the phone though in any case. Are you sure you rebooted the phone completely? maybe you should try to remove the battery once?
If you've done all that then you can try to repair the SD card by taking it out of the phone and using micro sd to SDHC adapter and inserting it directly into a computer then using windows to run a chkdsk on it.
hi,
i've done all you said properly, you know the problem came out because there was a differente behavior than in the past.
i remove securely the phone from pc and then is not accessible,
i didn't tried to chdsk the sdcard i'll try, but it sounded strange to me because its brand new.
i also tried to contact htc , they said " try to reboot, or try to remove the battery and the sd and start the phone again, the problem wasnt gone.
thanks for the advice.

Well if it's just gotten corrupted then you can just reformat the sd card. You'll want to backup all your data first so if you can't do that from the USB connection to the PC then you'll need to insert it directly into a pc. Once you've formatted it you can put your backed up data back on the card and put it back in the phone and after a while it will find your mp3s again. If it's truly a bad sd card then the reformat won't help.
Do you have another sdcard? The one that came with the phone or any other? Try putting some mp3s and photos on it and then put that in your phone. If your phone recognizes the photos and mp3s then maybe your current sdcard is the problem. And can you tell the the format of your sdcard? Is it NTFS or exFAT or FAT32? If it is UHS-1 card there is a good chance that it is in exFAT. To make it work on Evo 3d, convert it to FAT32 .
