Recently upgraded phone and transferred sim card to new phone, and now trying to restore droidx2 to factory reset. Do I need to have the sim card in to enter recovery? It no longer boots into boot choices like android recovery, but will still boot up into Eclipse and work fine otherwise.
Not very familiar with the process, so apologize if it's a stupid question and truly appreciate any assistance you can provide. Thanks!
the droid x2, has no sim card slot, it does have a sd card slot.
you do not need a sd card, to boot to the dx2 custom recovery
use the the recovery in menu>settings>eclipse parts
and a wall charger is needed.

problem is my tbolt won't mount a sd card in bootloader, recovery or the rom. I've tried multiple sd cards, even one that's working fine in my evo 4g. i would like to return the phone to stock if this is a hardware issue so i can take advantage of warranty but as far as i know i have to have an sd card for that. is there a way to return to stock or flash everything with adb while avoiding the sd card?
Is your SD card formatted fat32?

yes all sd cards i've tried (4 total) are formatted fat32 and all are recognized by my evo 4g and my cdma hero. when any of them are put into the tbolt android recognizes their presence but deems them as blank or not using the correct file system. within cwm none of the cards can be mounted. I've also tried placing a PG05IMG.zip containing stock everything on the sdcard to try to flash via the bootloader but it seems like it looks for the zip and doesn't recognize it. is there anything else i should try or is this a lost cause? thanks for the reply btw.
Try a factory reset?

not yet but only because it's not my phone and the owner needs it for work. there's currently no guaranty i can get a rom back on there once i've wiped/factory reset.
My Rezound just started doing this in the past two days. Stock storage under settings can not see my external SD Card. No apps installed on the phone can see it either. Root explorer is the same. Funny thing is that stock Recovery can see it. I can flash RUUs. I can boot to AmonRa and its file explorer can see it and things flash fine. Anyone ever had this problem? I have factory reset in recovery...reflashed last ota RUU.....still have the same problem. The SD card works fine in my wife's phone.

Does it give you the option to format it from within your rom? Or does it just say unavailable? Do you have another sd card to test?

Does it with any SD card I put in.....says unavailable and is grayed out?

Have you tried doing right after doing an ruu like stock unrooted?
And did you s off? That can corrupt external sd cards but that doesn't explain other sd cards that weren't used during the process.
I hate to jump to conclusions but it sounds like a hardware malfunction. Maybe time for a warranty replacement

I've been S-off for quite some time. I have gotten it to read the card a couple of times today. I was able to restore some apps with titanium. When I plugged the phone in to charge ...I saw a quick popup....." SD Card unexpectedly removed". When it starts and the External Card is in Settings the phone works normally. But when the SD Card disappears all of the Apps that draw from or write to the External SD Card behave Strangely. It is very near stock now. It is frustrating that it works very well when set up excluding the external SD Card. I do have alot of things on the SD Card that I use a lot.....Guess I'll call support
Can you pull your SD Card and plug it into a computer? Copy over everything to a folder then reformat Card and put in phone, then if works copy everything back over. If still doesn't work I would suggest flashing the stock image since it will basically reset everything. Good luck.
I would keep working with people on here, those kinds of issues and support usually equal face palm or headache.
For reason unknown...when I restarted this morning the ext_SD mounted fine this morning and has been working fine since 5am. We'll see if everything makes it thru the day...lol

If it happens again, go into storage and select mount sd card. If it is mounted already, unmount then mount. Happens to me occasionally.

Those options are grayed out when it happens....

Well finally just started over....Wiped and reflashed phone. Then copied and reformatted SD Card, copied back to card ......everything is fine so far. We'll see how it goes tomorrow.
similar problem
I am having a similar problem. I just installed Neo's RAGE 1.9 rom, inverted Gapps, and flashed the boot.img since I am S-ON. Now I can't get to my ext SD once the phone boots up. Similar to manbat above, I can browse it in AmonRa, and even flash from it there, but after booting up the phone I get the "damaged SD card" message, and I can't access it. I've re-flashed the rom 3 times, and also the boot.img...even re-downloaded the rom, inverted gapps and tried all over again - but nothing changed :/ If anyone can help me out on this it'd be greatly appreciated!
You will have to copy your SD Card to computer. Since your phone is reading the SD Card as damaged you will have to reformat on your card on the computer and then copy your information back to your card. This is what worked for me.

Hello, all. I tried flashing Sun's new ROM, which wouldn't work while I was on TWRP Recovery. So I thought "Let's flash Amon Ra;" well, that's what I did. I use Hansoon's kit to flash Amon Ra and when I tried flashing on Amon RA it wouldn't work. So I ended up making a PH98IMG of TWRP and putting it on my SD card so I could get back TWRP since all of my backups are under TWRP. Well, now I cannot boot into recovery because of the PH98IMG on my SD card. I can't reboot my phone because I wiped system, date, etc. There's no ROM on my phone. Any ideas how I can delete that PH98IMG.zip off my phone? This is horrible.
Take out the sd card and use a card reader to delete the file via your computer.

Where do I obtain a card reader?
Or you can pull your SD card part of the way out, then boot into recovery via power + vol down (you will be able to get into Recovery since it won't see the SD card). Once in recovery, carefully pull the battery out just far enough to get your finger under it, making sure that the battery contacts maintain firm contact, and push in the SD card. You may have to mount / remount the card in TWRP, but it should then see all your backups. If the battery loses contact, you can just start over (partly pull out SD, boot into TWRP, push in SD) - there is no risk of bricking or anything from pulling the battery while in recovery.
Or you can go into any electronics store - Best Buy, Radioshack, Staples, etc. (whatever you have in your area), or even Wal-Mart, and get an SD card reader.

No.
What Max725 said, works like a charm, no card reader needed.
Not that it hurts to have one handy, just something to do when you're in a jam and don't have one.
Hi guys,
so recently i screwd up my phone and needed a motorola factory cable to fix it. Now that i have it and up and running, i seem to have another problem.
My SD Card is not recognized in the phone. when i put it in my other phone, it works fine with all data there. Connected to my com and it reads it and what not. So i tried formating it again, and same problem.
Tried fastbooting my phone back twice to stock unrooted, and its the same. Tried factory reset, the same..
any idea how can i fix this? Or do i need to get my self a new SD Card T_T
thanks!!
Format the sdcard as fat32 partition from the PC. Use a program that can partition disks/ cards like MiniTool Partition Wizard
Hi! thanks for the reply, tried that, same thing
Hi, just to add..i tried a friends SD card in my phone, and im getting the same error. could it be due to h/w problem?

have you checked if 64 gb is supported from what i read most phones only support upto 32 gb, also forget the adapter try using it in another phone and see it could be the sd card is corrupt but make sure to check the phone is 64 gb supported sd card
Android 4.0+ supports up to 64gb SD.

yeah.. maybe 64gb is not supported..
Quite easy.Uninstall the SD CARD and install it again for several times. And it will be ok.
My english is bad....Or even worse than bad....

SD card may have been removed during boot, after that point the SD slot has not been working..My SD micro cards are fine they work well on other computers. Suggestions welcome. Thanks.
Wipe and flash latest stock firmware, if still the same then hardware fault.

It turns out to be the slot its self. when you have the card pushed & held all the way in it works just fine. Eventually I'll swap out that failed slot (tape is doing the trick for now) but for now I'm thinking about getting the Note 3.
