After installing clean blank rom via cwm my SD card was mounting but, I decided to move back to stock, and did so by flashing using ODIN multi downloader. After that, my external SD Card did not mount.

Yes, I did remove and reinsert.
Did u try to change the rom?
If this just happened just after you flashed that ROM it could be...
1. Set through your settings
2. Unmount/mount manually
You can also try making a backup of your SD Card contents to your PC, reformat the SD Card.. put your backup back to the SD Card and reboot phone

I tried using CM9 but still, it didn't mount the micro SD card. The mount option in settings is greyed out in all Roms.

Hello all,
I used a windows-xp to flash nAa-kernel05 and upgrade to miniCM7 2.1.3.
Once done, the phone booted properly. My SD apps work .. but the SD card does not seem to be accessible. In gallery it says: SD card blank or not present. Music player says no SD. Storage settings show no SD ..
It seems that the Fat partition is messed. How can I fix?
I'm not sure if it is related to the miniCM7 update.
Any clue?
i had similar problem ..
try to format your sd card with this software:
Code:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/
I do not want to format, my data is accessible via card reader.
The sd card was running few hours ago.
I did the following (with no luck)
1- Using windows, fixed errors in fat32 partition
2- Missing "/system/xbin/parted" copied with pernissions
3- Reboot many times, wipe cache partition and dalvik
4- Edit the default capabilities xml file at the SD root, edited <boot> to have a low-case R after unlocking kernel.
Still cannot find the solution for my problem

Exactly, and also try to partition the sd card with minitool partition wizard, and then install apps in your sd, they might work better with an ext 2 partition, thats what i did, cuz my cards 8 gig, and fat is not an option.
I just tried to upgrade to 16 gb card and my phone did not like it. Random shut downs, apps did not run etc. Do I need to format the card in a special way before I can use it? I did a full clean install before trying a new card.
It may just be a dodgy card though... It works fine with my old 8 gb card.

Earlier today, I realized that my phone doesn't recognize my SD card. I tried taking it out and putting it back in with no luck. Then I decided to re-flash the rom with ClockworkMod Recovery but it requires the sd card to flash which mine does not work. I also tried downloading twrp2.0 but again, the bootloader won't recognize it because it's not on the SD card. Lastly, I factory reset the phone hoping it would format the sd card, but now every time I unlock the phone, there is just a black screen. Any suggestions?
How did you factory format it?
From when the phone is turned on, or on recovery?
What you should do is get the memory card and stick it on your computer. It might be corrupted or something alike.
Once on your computer, format it to fat/fat32.
On windows:
Go on my computer, wait for memory device to be detected, and right click it.. then format.
On Mac:
Open: "Disk Utility" by either going to "utilities" on applications folder, or by searching for it on the spotlight search bar.
Then click umm.. im not on my mac now, google it.
After you do all that, put the ROM and the Recovery.
Then flash away.
Hope this helps.

Well, the phone says it can't mount the SD Card, even when I placed a different one in so I think it's an issue with the phone or rom.

take out the external sd card and do a nandroid on the internal sd card...then restart the phone and save you're nandroid somwhere safe...This is not going to solve your SD issue, but you'll atleast have a backup copy of your system if you ever have to get a new one... also if you have an micro sd to sd adaptor, try to stick the sd card in your computer (assuming you have an SD reader) and try to format it that way fat32 i believe.

I did the Nandroid Backup and I do have a USB with a port to insert a Micro SD Card, but it doesn't show that I plugged anything in. It may be a problem with the SD Card, but I also have another 8 Gig one that it won't mount or recognize.
when u go to settings-storage...what do you see? do you see mount/unmount sd card? or u cant even go to settings?
Stop replying and start listening.
You need to RE-format your SD card to FAT32.

Would it be possible to flash twrp through the bootloader or through fastboot without the SD, or can I flash a rom directly from clockwork recovery without an SD Card?

You can flash a recovery without an sdcard.
With the device in bootloader mode:
fastboot flash recovery c:\recoverydirectory\recoveryname.img

Thanks! I was able to flash TWRP and flash Android Revolution.
I turned off my phone, took out the sdcard, gave it to my friend.
My friend inserted it on her phone, viewed some files that were in it, then pulled the sdcard out without turning off her phone.
Does that damage the sdcard? Some apps are definitely missing, and maybe some pictures too, not sure.
What to do?
Thanks guys!
Not necessarily, but can be. Use some file recovery software.

how do i format the sdcard using my phone? do I go to recovery mode?
Don't you want to recover the files before formatting?
Anyhow, you can format it from recovery as well as settings-> storage -> format memory card.
I already made a back up. thanks!!!
Happened with me a lot of times.
Go to settings -> SD Card and phone storage -> Unmount sd card -> Stay on that screen and wait for 5 mins
If you do not get a notification regarding the unmounting of your sd card, switch off your phone, take out your sd card, boot into recovery, insert your sd card, try browsing some files on your sdcard (I hope you understood what I want to say), switch on your phone and see whether you sd card works. My card worked almost everytime using this process. I dont know how? But it just works.
PS - If your sd card still doesnt work then you will need to format it.

If you don't unmount your sd card before removing it, it can get corrupted.
A simple indicator of that is you won't be able to install any app untill the card is mounted in your device.
Happened to me a lot when i was new to ACE
Make sure to unmount before removing, or you can just turn it off and then remove, your choice
Can't mount the sd card right after i try formatted it with sd formatter on the pc while running cmw recovery. Eject it on the pc and when i try to flash zip files, it gives me error : can't mount /sdcard/
rebooted few times also try wiping/factory reset and even try to format again sd card from cmw. But Can't even format the sd card from within cmw itself as it gives the same error.
what can i do?
Take the sdcard out of the phone and stick it into a usb cardreader, then format it using sd formatter.

the actual internal sd card and android.secure was on that the dead sd card so what shall i do
1. Calm down.
2. Instead of mounting an sd card, you could mount usb storage in CWM. Then connect to your pc, transfer a rom (CWM flashable zip) to your sd card (internal or external, doesn't matter. Whichever you have working at the moment).
3. Flash rom in CWM.
