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.
Please help me. it's been almost two weeks i'm having this problems. my phone is HTC Sensation XL CM10.1
the problem starts here, when i switch on my phone, it stuck on CyanogenMod, i restart my phone so many time but that wont help me, so what i did was i format my phone from bootloader.
so new problem appear again
I'm having problem with my EXTERNAL MEMORY. this is not SD CARD since HTC Sensation Xl DOES NOT have memory card slot. it's HTC Sensation XL 16GB.
my problem is everytime i enter camera and gallery, it says "No external storage available" then my whatsapp also cannot download images and videos. then when i go to storage, it shows only internal memory available, it does not shows the External one, it seems like the external memory is not inserted.
i already restart my phone so many times but still this wont help to solve the problem. then i go to recovery, then i tried to mount sdcard, but it said "cant mount Sdcard" then i tried to format sdcard but failed since the sdcard cannot be mounted.
then i try to connect my phone through USB to my computer, but i cant even read the sdcard, theres no notification that my phone is connected through USB. but its connected already. lol. so confused.
if i cant connect through USB, then how can i solve this problem? how can i flash a new rom? how to downgrade my phone since i hane read from most of the forums that the only way to solve is downgrade the phone to stock. but i cant even connect it through USB to put the rom.
im just telling this if this can help you.

boot into Recovery
-> Connect your HTC SXL to your PC
Go to "mount USB Storage " and sty in this menu, now the PC have to format the SD-Card -> But please look that it only show you the 8 GB free space (SD-Card). I know that Windows can show you only this one but with linux it is able to format everything.
So i had formated the SD-Card
-> Download CM
-> Download Gapps
Copy on the SD-Card
Reboot to Recovery
-> Install ZIP from SD-Card
Hi all,
First off, get the laughs out the way. Not posted on here before but used the forum a lot over the past year or so and i desperatley need someones help.
Long story short.
1) Currently i can only access CMR 6.0.3.2
2) I have no ROM available on int SD due to doing a system wipe while flashing Cyanogenmod 11 nightly which failed due to Status 7 error ( did not think this error would happen!)
3) My PC & Laptop will not recognise the S3 through USB despite all correct drivers being correct.
4) CMR will not let me mount the 8GB ext SD card. I have tried formatted to NTSC and Fat 32 and both not mounting, get the mount error message.
To sum it up, im fooked. I cannot access the int SD to drop a ROM on it and cannot access the Ext SD card through recovery which DOES have a ROM on it.
Do any ofyou fantastic people have any idea what i can do apart from dress it up nicely and make an ornament out of it?
Thanks!
Scott

Yes Scott. Do not make an ornament out of it!
Okay, serious .. download the ROM of your region from sammobile.com. Install Odin on your laptop. Boot your S3 in download mode. Flash the firmware from sammobile.com on your phone using Odin.

Hi Hamza,
Thanks for the reply. This is one of the problems noted above as that my laptop and PC will not recognise my S3 via USB. Tried different USB wires and installed various versions of the drivers, uninstalled, reinstalled etc It just will not connect be recognised.
Any other thoughts?

Sorry, I thought that your phone will get recognized when in Odin mode or download mode. I am afraid I am out of tricks for now, but let me search and get back to you in case I find anything
Hello Scott,
Can you enter in Download mode on phone?
"First shut down your device, then power on by simultaneously pressing the power button, home button and volume down key. Now you will see download mode and you will be asked if you want to cancel or continue. Press volume up to continue or volume down to cancel and reboot."
For that part you don't need connection to PC (yet).
If u succeed entering in download mode, then use the link that Hamza posted, to restore your device through Odin
HI!
Its no problem to get in to download mode but as the laptop and PC will not recognise my S3, neither does Odin.
The very 1st think i knew to do was to try and flash a stock ROM via Odin, but sadly can't
I've flashed ROM's a lot however it was a rookie mistake not to make a backup on this occasion that was accessable in this situation. My backups and ROMs are on the Ext SD card....
Ive searched and the only 2 outcomes i can see to resolve are to mount my Ext SD card, which i can't do on CMR or to make the handset visible o use Odin or to drop a ROM on the Int SD but again, can't.

Have you tried with another USB cable? Sometimes USB cable could be faulty.

We have 5 or 6 USB cables for our phones around here, and only 3 work for our S3 phones. Worth a try?
One more thing crossed my mind... In CWR, did you try "mount usb storage"? Under "mounts and storage" setting.
I had a similar problem few weeks ago, changed recovery and new recovery didn't want to read exFat card...

I suggest you uninstall samsung kies first.
Proceed here uninstall old samsung usb drivers too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038555
There is 3 methods of installing it clearly written there with step by step instructions. Hope with this method your pc recognize your phone.
If that method fails.
Like many said you have to manually insert rom files into your external sd card using a reader. I hope your problem is not similar to this guy
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/76864-pc-wont-recognize-phone-after-installing-cm-102-20130727/
You said Odin not recognize phone how about Kies? If you have not tried Kies and you can get it to recognize your phone try this Emergency Firmware Recovery link works on S3 >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261153 <<
Hi,
Tried various USB cables and nada. Due to this Odin, Kies or anything will else will not recognise the handset and that's on a PC and a Laptop.
As for the Mass Storage in recovery, the version of CMR doesn't have that option otherwise i would have tried!
I was focusing more on trying to mount the Ext SD card on CMR. Is there any suggestions on this? Tried NTFS and Fat 32 with varying cluster sizes but not happening. Any other suggestions?

Fat32 should work, not sure about NTFS... Did u tried another card? Or removing battery and reinserting after SD card format?
Thanks for all the suggestions.... Had a family emergency.
Tried everything, i now think that there is a hardware issue with the phone as its a Code 43 error whenever i try to update the driver so the handset can talk to my PC. Seen as this option looks fooked i can only now and try to figure why the Ext SD wont mount on CMR and how to resolve it.
If i can;t then no option but to send it to the big warehouse in the Sky,
Just to exclude, did you tried another SD card?

Hii devs
These days I can't get my phone connected to my pc neither mounting my sdcard. I tried that even through my recovery, in vain ( I've got TWRP Recovery & root).
I got alcatel x'pop 5035d. I tried a fresh install with One touch upgrade, a backup with flashtools. Can't recognize my phone ( ps: I got all drivers installed and fine since I tried that before. )
Then i'm stuck with the annoying unkown device from windows, unable to mount my sdcard, and even a factory reset didn't change a fact.
I hope you can help me to figure either is a hardware or a software problem, and help me get through this problem.
Thanks
You can't mount your SD card on your phone? Did you try formatting it?

My SD card is fine and readable by my phone.. im just wondering is there any solution to get my phone connected to pc because when i do it only keeps charging..
Fixed using Stickmount [root required].
My htc desire stuck on the htc logo. I tried everything I know but with no success I downloaded the stock rom and uloaded it into the micro SD card but the phone does not recognize the card I don't know if this is hardware issue as I haven't used any micro sd cards when the phone was operating well. I tried to connect many times thorough adb but the device is not recognized by windows and adb.
