I have searched and I can't find an answer..
I have installed virtually all of the current 2.2 ROMS and I cannot get any of them to recognize my sd cards...I have odined back to stock, and flashed over and over and every time, the phone will say "no sd card inserted" IT even did the same thing when trying to mount the sd cards through clockwork recovery with the OS not even booted up...
When I flash a 2.1 ROM back to the phone, it behaves perfectly and reads both SD cards normally. Any one else have this problem or know of a fix?
i thought i had this issue last nite what i did was turn off usb debug then checked ask on connection in the usb setting and let it reboot and waited for it to reread everything then it was fine
If you had read all the posts of all those threads that you got the ROMs from, you would have seen that all the Froyo Roms had this issue. This has been posted many times over the past few days.
In Eugene's Froyo thread, you may find a fix for that.

I am not talking about my computer not recognizing it, although it won't as well.. The phone itself show unavailable under both sd cards!

I have read plenty of pages, and this is s huge issue and I haven't seen a thing on it. I can't even get to clockworkmod from 2.2 because it will not read my sd card.
If it has been posted so many times, could you please post a link to just one of them? I have been looking since Monday night! (Reading and searching)
One of the problems is xda won't allow 2 letter search terms such as sd....

Thanks.. I did see that, and tried it, but it doesn't work still..I made this post after flashing that ROM with the sd card supposedly fixed. I can't use anything that uses the sd card on this ROM that claims the fix or any other 2.2 rom. I would like to run obsidian...

The usb debugging and ask on connection fixes you propose do nothing when my phone is not connected to USB.

I did all this just for fun and its still the same! The phone says there are no sd cards inserted!
The computer still will not recognize it either!
I flashed the r10 rom and did a factory restore while still in recovery. No problems since then.

There is a separate SD fix, but that was included with the new rom apparently. I have seen posts that those who pushed that fix had it work.
If I go to settings>sd card and phone settings
both the sd card storage and the phone storage say unavailable!
this only happens when you are using 2.2 right?
yes.. its only on 2.2 roms.. and every one of them I have tried.. when I flash back to 2.1 it works great.. I am guessing its some sort of kernel issue...
I did get it rebooted into clockwork and wiped pretty much everything but the sdcard...did not do any good.. also tried moutning the sd card from clockwork with 2.2 installed...the sdcards did show up on the computer, but when clicking on them it said "Please insert a disk into this drive"

i have researched this for 3 days straight and have found a solution, their is no fix
1.) if you remove your sd card and reboot the phone with it not in there, your internal memory will mount just fine.
2.) so that made me think it was something wrong with my external card, so i went and bought another one, samsung branded, 8 gig class2 card, and what do you know, it mounted just fine.
3.) i did found out that when i flashed back to 2.1 it would see my old sd card, but when i upgraded to 2.2 it wont.
its like 2.2 does not like certain branded sd cards, the one that wouldnt work on 2.2 was made by A-Data

Interesting.. Thank you! I am rebooting without the sdcard now and sure enough the internal card is showing [email protected]
Mine is an 8gb class 6 card.. not sure what brand... I am going to format the sd card and see if that helps!
that was it.. I put my 2gb card in and it worked great.. the 8gb card worked great before, but apparently was not compatable with 2.2
My phone's taking up this habit of rebooting (or so) randomly and automatically. It doesn't show any error or message and just reboots about twice a day... How did i know... My music widget did not display the last song paused and the up-time duration in the battery status was only a couple of hours (when infact I haven't shut it down)
Does anyone face this problem? Two things that could have made things go bad:
1. Using Verbatim Class 4 8gb MicroSDHC (heard problems with 8gb cards)
2. I rooted my phone partially (z4root did not work, superoneclick worked till halfway but I was able to access the root. Is there anything called incomplete rooting ). And after deleting the useless pre-installed apps... unrooted (again partially ) so that I can visit the Service Centre if things go worse.
Will the phone face problems if it reboots every once in a while. I don't mind it as long as it does not give me errors
Thanks,
Have you tried another sd?
AFAIK and with what i been seing arround here, that can be a card fault.
Incompatibilitys or something like that. It whouldn't be the first device like that.
Second change will be a hardware failure, wich is worst...
In my viewing, everything that is not normal, it's not good for your device.
So you should try to find a solution for it.
Cheers
my bad... Provided wrong info in the last post.
My system uptime is 48hrs which means my phone hasn't rebooted. But my status since last unplugged is 3 hrs but I last charged my phone more than 12hrs ago and I haven't plugged it to a computer as well. This number haas changed twice today...
I am thoroughly confused... Don't think there is a problem with my sd card as the phone runs perfect... All the games and music stored in the card play without problems... Guess I'll have to investigate further.
If anyone has any suggestion do let me know
I had this problem, too. And yes, It's SD-card related.
The uptime counter doesn't reset every time, but the last unplugged time does, as you noticed.
I flashed with the OC kernel, and surprisily, my phone is now fully stable. I don't know if the kernel did really the trick, but you could maybe give a try...

Can you please elaborate. Flashed the OC kernel... with what?
Did you reinstall the original firmware? Thanks!
I used the custom recovery and I selected the "Flash from zip file" option, it was very simple once you get the custom recovery working !
It doesn't erase your data, and it doesn't replace the original firmware, it's only a patch.
Do I need to install the custom recovery or is it pre-installed?
I don't think it is pre-installed. The key combination is not working. The phone starts up as usual.
And do we need to be rooted to carry this out. I'll try a soft reset meanwhile....
EDIT:
I got it. Need to use this "recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img" file to enable the custom recovery. If I put this file in the root of the sd card, will the key combination work? And what about the flash file? I'm sure it'll ask for the flash file when i select the option flash from sdcard.
I've experienced similar behavior, mostly using 3D apps. Google's Nav will usually result in a freeze/reboot. Quadrant has done it many times. When I was looking in logcat and bugreport it was showing messages like:
W/SharedBufferStack(223): waitForCondition(LockCondition) timed out (identity=223, status=0). CPU may be pegged. trying again.
I can't be positive if the SD card is the culprit (I haven't had a chance to replace the stock card yet), or if it's a software or hardware problem. I've only rooted and modified build.prop to enable jit and stagefright...and that's it.
edit:
Phone just crash when I opened the new updated google maps. Attached the logcat if anyone can glean some useful info from it.
Mine is definitely SD card related.... Flashed the original firmware but did not help. The SD card kept unmounting and remounting (no rebooting though).
Finally went back to the bundled sd card and no problem so far... But my other 8gb card is working perfectly in other phones and the pc as well (very good transfer speed and all) Even when I had it in my phone it was snappy.
But I read that a new firmware has been released. hopefully that will sort the issue... Fingers crossed.

There is a new version of the firmware, V10E.
You need to try that one.
I have the same phone and have no problems running a PNY 8 gig. card. I would try to re-rom your device but, be sure to back everything up first. If problem still persists try a differant sd card. ( class 3 or higher) I am currently running Cyanogen 2.3.3 with kernal update 2.6.32.9. OC to 806mhz. Semms to be running just fine. I hope that helps out.

Hi, I also facing the sd card problem. Can I update to v10e because my phone is v10a and rooted?
Before you guys upgrade, try this ....
Copy out all the data from your SD card, format your SD from the device, then copy the data back.
In addition, if you have shifted any Application data using the Move to SD card feature, suggest you move it back.
I used to have the reboot once a day, now I don't have it anymore ...
Formatting didn't work for me. Factory reset worked for a couple of weeks, but still got SD card unmounts with no apps moved to SD. The only thing that worked was physically removing the SD.
friend i got Phone on this saturday till then I was having problem of random reboot .like every time i play with my phone . i am using class 2 trascend 8gb made in taiwan micro sd card (but the problem of unmounting never occured to me).Main problem was of the random reboot .Then i flashed my phone with Unofficial port of CyanogenMod 7link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354 it worked so greatly and now i am running phone for more then 3 hours without any problem(hope this time will increase).
PS :This mod doesn't have market application of android any one who can provide market.apk or vending.apk beacuse its convinient to download from there
hi there
i have a optimus one P500 ITA non brand with the common problem that the SD randomly unmounts, i tried the solutions suggested on ITA forums such as replace the card or to format it in FAT32 w/ pc but didn't help.
do you guys have a fix for that? i currently have firmware 10a and i am willing to flash it, don't care much to put the one from the LG update or not as long as it works. i know there's a higher flash rom such as 10c i think.
thanks
gabrio
So, last update should resolve this problem.
Another way, which helped is format card in phone. Just try search for threads on forum.
SD card problem
Something is also available in threads about custom ROMs, especially prime

I solved the problem by formatting the SD card using the phone directly.
Made a backup of everything on the SD by connecting it as USB Storage on my pc.

it seemed to work for me as well, with a different SD card from a nokia phone and formatted from phone. no more unmount
THOUGH, what you guys recommend in terms of firmware upgrade after all the debug users made on forums?
i currently have: kernel mod from XDA (thanks guys), overclock, JIT and HW acceleration and the firmware 10A, no brand version phone.
thanks

i know that the occasional restart and sd unmounting are somehow related and as far as i can tell the 2.2.1 update fixed that problem.my question is:is it possible to get the files responsible with the sd card from the updated firmware and install them on the 2.2 so that we fix the problem without having to deal with the other"features" provided by the update?i dont want to loose the root,custom recovery and all the other things.

2.2.1 doesn't fix the problem, changing your sdcard does.
other than that, it's merely coincidental.
i saw that on another forum.everyone who had that pb and updated the firmware said that the pb is fixed.
anyway.what kind of card should we get?kingston,sandisk...?class 2,4,6,10?

as good as you can afford.
I purchased a team 4gb class 6 and it fixed the problem.
most people however are going for the 4gb kingston class 4.
my phone had no problem for about one month since i got it with the 2gb included in the package.after 1 month it started to restart/unmount the card.so how can that be a hardware problem?i want an 8gb one.i guess im going to try my luck...

It's not software or hardware afaik, it's really the sdcard.
Seems like after getting some write cycles it starts bugging the crap out of itself.
Logic behind this deduction:
If it was software: it would probably be fixed with 2.2.1 & it wouldn't be fixed with another sdcard.
If it was hardware: it wouldn't be fixed with another sdcard nor 2.2.1.
If it was the sdcard itself: it wouldn't be fixed with 2.2.1 and would be fixed with another sdcard. (this is what happens)
thank you,Noejn for all the help.i got a class 6 one.hopefully that will work.
Just buy a 8gb class 6 sd card and it is fixed.
If you have rooted the phone dont upgrade
If you have rooted the phone dont upgrade.
Upgrade dont allow rooting.
I bought a used Amaze and put a formatted SD card (FAT32) in it and it worked fine.
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone (still s-on). It's running stock ICS ROM. (Not really needing to flash a custom ROM yet) The sd card was fine for a while.
Now, the Amaze cannot see the SD card. I reformatted it on my laptop again (FAT32) and it still cannot read it. However, in recovery (4EXT) it can read it. Also, my laptop can see the sd card.
I tested 2 other sd cards and the phone could not read those either and they all work on my other phone.
I took it to a repair shop since it seemed to be a hardware issue and they replaced the sd card slot and the phone still could not read the sd card.
The technicians said they have never seen anything like it. I can still use the phone without the sd card being functional but I'd like to have that working.
Any other suggestions?
Fixed the issue. Flashed Dark Glass One 0.2 ROM and the sd card and phone memory is now seen.

Hey tube, good looks on this issue. I'm having a similar problem with a Samsung Droid charge and just wanted to ask a couple questions.
- did you flash back to stock unrooted in between any of this?
- did the ROM have any other instability when you were on stock root?
- could either stock or custom recovery see the SD card when the OS couldnt?
Trying to draw some parallels between your and my situation, and wondering if I can learn anything. Thanks man!

"No External Storage Available"
Hi all,
First time poster here. I've done as much research as possible, tried multiple ROMs, tried ICS SD Binder, looked in multiple threads, and on multiple sites, but have yet to discover a resolution to my problem.
I'm on the HTC Amaze with TELUS being my provider. I have followed the steps to unlock/root the phone, and have tried CM10, Stock, and now using Dark Glass. The rom is working great, love it. The only problem is that I'm getting a message that says No External Storage Available when trying to use the camera. I find it strange that it won't recognize it since the music player works, and even a file manager such as ASTRO can locate the files on the SD card. I'm not even able to open the gallery as it can't find the SD card.
As noted above, I've tried a few different things, but still the problems persists. Any recommendations?
Thanks!

Make sure your SD card is formatted to FAT 32. Do the long formatting not the quick one. Backup your SD card before formatting.

You better format it in your custom recovery though..
Thanks for the reply guys. Unfortunately that hasn't fixed the problem.
I've flashed the stock ROM back, and the card works as normal.
Even when the SD wasn't working with the old ROM, it would still be picked up in recovery.
Any other ideas.
