Hey guys,
I got the Hero with Android 1.5, Build: 2.73.421.5. It does not detect any SD card at all. The cards are fine, works in a pc. They are FAT32 and clean, but no matter what I do it just does not work. Any ideas as to what I can do to fix this without sending it in?
Thanks
Hello? Anyone?
1. Did you try formatting it on your phone just in case?
2. try a different one and see
3. May be hard reset your phone

The phone doesn't pick the card up at all, so I can't format it.
I tried a different sd card.
I did a hard reset about 5 times since yesterday, I even opened the phone and cleaned it with an electro cleaner liquid. No luck!
Thanks for replying
Same thing here.
Hero doesn't see any sd card.
FW version 1.5.
And also Computer can't connect to phone - "Unknow device".
noone?
This happens to me on my work computer (not recognized) but not on my home puter (okay).
I don't know why.

1. Install Hero drivers on your computer (you can find them if you type Htc Hero drivers on google - and you will find them without Htc Sync bull**** program).
2. Install Paragon Partition Manager and see if it is recognized there. If it is, you can format it using FAT16. See if this helps.
3. After formatting, remove the sd card, remove the cable, push the sd card back, boot your rom and try to enter in sd card using a file manager such as Linda FIle manager, ES File explorer etc.
4. You can try and see if it is recognized by entering in fastboot menu (power off and then press power + volume up and down at the same time).
5. IF this doesn't help, I suggest manage somehow and install a custom rom. This will definitely solve your problem.

When I plug my Atrix into a device (computer, car, etc) via USB, the SD card auto-mounts. I would like to be able to adjust when it mounts but the auto-mount isn't a huge problem. My issue is that when I unplug the phone from a device the SD card doesn't automatically remount.
Is there a way to set up the SD card to automatically remount? Is there a manual way to remount besides restarting the phone?

Did u try mounting in Settings --> SD card and storage
Yes, when I go to that menu it says, "Insert an SD card to mount". I'm not able to click "mount" because it is grayed out with the above message on it.
Any other ideas?
When u plug your phone in, there should be a USB icon @ the top of the screen. Pull that down, and select 'Do Nothing' that should clear up your problem. Always make sure you do this before unplugging your phone if it mounts the SDCard to avoid corrupting the data. Let me know if this fixed your problem.
I have the same exact issue. Selecting "None" for usb mode does nothing for me either. I have to reboot my phone just to get the SD Card and Internal storage to re-mount.
I don't know if this is related but I am also running ADEO ROM.

I'm rooted but running stock otherwise.
Selecting "none" just affects the phone's internal storage, not the SD card. Also, whenever i plug my phone into any device it automounts the SD, I'm never given an option. It is really frustrating when I just want to charge via USB and not mount my SD card.
Any other ideas? Is there an app that would solve this?
EDIT: I'm also having an issue where my PC won't let me "eject" the internal storage of the phone or the storage on the SD (drives F and G) so I have no choice but to just unplug it.
I should add that with my case my phone unmounts internal storage AND the sd card. It's to the point to where I am using adbWireless in order to push or run any other commands needed for adb.

Yeah you and I are having the exact same problems. This is really aggravating. However, I might have found a solution. In the app switchpro, you can set one of the controls (icons) to be "media remount". I have had soem limited success with it. Try it out yourself and let me know if it fixes the problem.
Thanks
I'm having the same problem. I downloaded the SwitchPro app and used the toggle mount/unmout successfully, so i don't have to restart the phone. It's a shame I had to buy an app to fix a problem with a new phone. I believe the first day of owning the phone I may have unplugged from the cpu while in media link mode for the usb connection, but since then I have it set to "none".
I am not rooted, nor am I running adeo rom as mentioned above.

OK I'm glad we've found a fix of sorts at least.
That reload media widget works for my music player. Unfortunately, my widgets (dependent on teh SD card for skins) don't reload properly liek the rest of my media does. I'm still stuck powering on and powering off every time i unplug from a device.
SD Card problem
I think I have the opposite problem. I just rooted using aRoot. Now, when plugging the phone into my computer using a USB cable, the phone says the SD card is ready to be removed. And the Media Link can't read it either. Once I unplug the phone from the computer, the SD card is able to be used by the phone.
Any ideas?

My problems started after I used aRoot as well. Unfortunately, I never really found a solutions. I've just been restarting my phone whenever i plug it in. In your case, have you tried switching it into mass storage mode after plugging it in?

I've tried every setting with no luck. All I wanted to do is add some music to my SD card. So I ended up taking the card out of the phone and inserting it directly into my computer in order to add the music. Not the best solution to the problem.
No definitely not. At least the files get transferred faster that way
guys, big issue here
On my wife's phone, she tried to take a picture and all of the sudden she got an error "sd card is being used as mass storage". now she cannot locate any of her files on the internal storage. as a matter of fact she doesn't have sd card. I checked under settings > storage and all I see is usb storage avaiable & used is at 11.50 gb.
also all backups are gone
can anyone help?
That happens when the phone is connected to your PC, if the PC is using it then you can't see it on your phone.
1. Make sure you aren't connected to your PC via USB.
2. Reboot the phone.
3. If still no joy then try a factory reset (there are probably other ways to fix this, but this is the simplest and noob friendliest way)

That solution worked perfectly for me (reboot). Thanks.
I need to repartition my SD card for changing ROM on my HTC Desire. I planned on using GParted for the task, but so far I have failed to get the SD card to show up in GParted. What I have tried so far:
1. Plugging in my phone to my MacBook I can see my device and in Disk Utility both partitions show up (although obviously the ext4 won't mount).
2. Booted GParted in Parallels but the device won't show up
3. ...so I tried booting my mac with it, but still, the device won't show up.
4. Tried booting a PC off GParted. Still no device!
5. Plugging the SD card into a Samsung Galaxy S and tried the above again, still without success.
So problem persists, I cannot get the SD card to show up in GParted! Do you have any idea how to make it work?
Try to use card reader. I'm sure it can detect when you use it. I'm a fans of gparted.

Alright, then I need to rest my restless mind and wait for the holidays to pass so I can get hold of one! Thanks.
Hi,
Can you guys let me know if you can boot without an SD Card?
Mine gets stuck on the HTC Screen... It will only boot when i have a card in.
On another note, i was trying to investigate why the pc wouldnt recognize my htc legend and says USB not recognized everytime i plug it in... I have all drivers and the phone can access the SD card fine... even in fastboot, it doesnt get recognized...
anyone knows if i can fix this?
im on blayo rom and i reset to default and it is still the same from a fresh restore.

In recovery, advanced, you can try between mount or unmount the sdcard, and select the usb storage.
Then your pc should recognize the sdcard.
If not, try to change your sdcard.

I am using HomICS 2.0 and my Legend boots fine without an SD card. I am missing several apps because I use Link2SD. Maybe your phone is using ext3 during startup? But what would be the use of booting without a card?
Regarding the USB brick, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691187. Maybe this will help. There are several posts about the USB brick on XDA, as well as the SD card fault. I had that as well, until I formatted the SD card in Recovery and created a ext3 partition there.
Hmm on one ocassion my PC wasn't able to detect my legend but later on I found out that it was a problem with my datacable. I hope it might help you.

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 .
