I messed up SD Card mounting on Megatron, so I flashed back to stock with KDZ. SD Card still doesn't mount, and isn't being recognized. The notification bar just says "SD Card removed. Insert new one." So...is it time to send this phone back for warranty?
It's time to format your card using your card reader maybe it helps.

Did that. Unless there are specific settings to format with? If so, in Windows7, what allocation and stuff do i select?

Default fat 32 should be just fine to begin with. If the card is still unrecognized, you should try with some cheap 2 Gb card and see if system recognize it...
If system doesnt recognize any sd, send for warranty

Just insert it android will tell if it needs to format the card.. if it says you need to format it will give the option to format it.

how about the files from my old sd card? do i put them on the new one before inserting it? or the other way around,.thanks for ur response man!!!
First insert new one if its unformated it should be formatted than copy.

- copy your old SD card to PC via USB cable
- shut down, remove the old card, stick the new one in, turn on your phone
- let the phone format it (will prompt you if needed)
- copy the contents back via USB cable
Can do the above in PC as well, that way your phone will not even notice the card has changed.
will the "format prompt" automatically appear? how will i know if it needs a format?.thanks guys
Yes it will if needed otherwise no.

It's better to format the new card from the phone before using it, this lets you maintain the native file system and prevents any anomalies that can arise from a pre (pc) formatted card. This might also help preventing the auto unmount issue that some users have reported.
Upon inserting the new card and on powering up the phone, go to Settings -> SD Card & Storage, select the Unmount Card option, then select the Format Card. When done Mount the card if not automatically done. Ensure that you have taken a backup (if you have some data on the card) before you format the card.

It is not necesasry to format a newly bought sd card as all sd cards come pre formatted with the file system that suits it best(FAT32). SD Card manufacturers will never ship an unformatted card.
If you get unmounting issues with a new card its prolly not the cards fault but the phone's firmware.
hey guys, it seems that the sd card that i have brought does not need formatting,.i just copied everything to it and it works just fine! thanks again for all your help!!! shalom!^^
Yeah. It doesn't need formatting. Recently I bought a 16gb card, switched off phone, took out my old card, inserted new one phone, went into recovery, partitioned it with recovery, inserted old one in laptop card reader, USB toggle in phone, copy and paste all old SD contents to new one, then disabled USB toggle, restore a nandroid backup with ext4 and finally reboot. Phone was as it was before. But now 16gb from 8gb.

copy the contents onto your computer, format the SD card on your evo, connect your evo to your computer, and copy everything back onto your phone

i can not mount the memory card. it keeps on saying sd card blank or has unsupported filesystem every time i try to mount it and when i press on sd card blank or has unsupported filesystem it says format i press on format and it doesnt delete anything. it only says checking sd card and then sd card blank or has unsupported filesystem pops up on the notification bar again.
what happens on the computer?
nothing happens
So I had a 16 gb external sd card in my rezound, realized that I would like more space so I bought a 32 gb card. The new card worked for about a week and no longer works. I have an sd card exploring app and it sees the files on the card but my phone does not even recognize the card is inserted.
Another thing to mention is that with the old card, my phone would not display the available space on it or give me the options to unmount and mount. Now when I put both of these cards in an sd card reader and insert them into my desktop the computer does not see that a card has been inserted. I have checked it with other mini SDs that I have and the computer sees them, so I don't know what gives! Any ideas??
P.S. I am running on the ICS 3.14.605.10 RUU
Sounds like you have a bad card, can you format it?

Well the weird thing is that both the stock and the card I bought are doing the same thing. And I tried formatting, but since I can't view the cards on my computer or phone I have no way of formatting.

I have the same almost problem, I have to manually mount the SD card after every reboot, but it does recognize it after mounting.

If you have TWRP or Amon, mount USB storage and format from your computer.

I have the exact same problem. I tried switching cards and formatted the new one before I put everything on it. It still is missing after every reboot...Annoying, but at least it's still there....
Not sure if this is the issue but it may help to try:
If you are on GB firmware and running an ICS rom, download and flash this in recovery. It is a GB firmware patch and after you flash it, sd card mounting problems are fixed.
Anyone have any issues with your SD card from your previous device not showing the files that are on it?
I know they are there because the card says 3 gigs free of 14....came from my Fascinate.

It could be formatting issues with the Sd card. Also sometimes Sd cards won't work going from one device to the other. Try transferring/backing up your files from the Sd card to your computer than reformat the Sd card, transfer you're backed up files to the freshly formatted Sd card. Finally put the Sd card back into your phone and you should be able to access your files.

and when you reformat the sd card(after saving to pc 1st), format to fat32 w/ active partition manager. not sure if youre rooted yet but this helps w/ cwm recovery. the exfat file system from windows and format sdcard feature w/ the phone gave me trouble.

So I reformatted my SD card to ext so I could root (or whatever one is needed to root). But I seems to always have a Damaged SD Card error up top. What do I do to fix this issue. Running a stock Rom on VZW....What should my card be formatted as. Its a ScanDisk Ultra 32GB card....
Try formatting it on a pc and/or your phone. If that doesn't work, you might have a dead card.
