[Q] External SD Card physically present; "No external storage available" message - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

[Q] External SD Card physically present; "No external storage available" message
Running CM10 - keep getting "No external storage available" when opening a camera app (proprietary, Instagram, etc.)
Attempted to mount external SD card in TWRP recovery - Won't recognize it.
My phone has definitely detected the external SD card before. This is a recent occurrence. I thought I fixed it the other night when I turned the phone off, removed the external SD card, reinserted it, and rebooted. It read the card again, but today when I tried to take a picture, the message was back.
Phone: HTC EVO 4G LTE
Hardware: 003
HBOOT: 2.09
DirtyRacun S-OFF
Recovery: TWRP 2.4.4.0
Any help is much appreciated!

Ive been having the exact same prob. try uninstall \re install twrp... worked for me !

Seeing the same symptoms. Running Deck's latest 10.2. I'm guessing something automatically updated in the store and caused problems. I had been using my phone all day and then it started acting weird.

im on the same rom ..maybe somthing specific to that build, .. i just uninstalled twrp .. reinstalled and now its all good

Will try that. Thanks.

that worked for awhile now my problem is back! .. really weird ..anyone have any ideas?

i"m thinking its a twrp problem .. but ive done a ton of TIBU uninstalls .. reinstalls with no luck .. cant flash any thing from twrp....and when i try to reinstall recovery image i get " no image available for this device" or somthing to that effect. this one really has me stumped!.

Have any of you tried mounting the sdcard to your computer through an adapter and checking for errors?

I have been having this issue from the first time I unlocked my phone and tried to install the 4.2 beanstalk rom when I go to camera or gallery etc it says no external storage, also when that happened it almost ruined my memory card all together but after multiple times of trying to get my laptop to read it finally did and I formatted it since then I have flashed many roms and noticed that I have this problem on all cm 10.2 android 4.3 roms except for the base cm 10.2 rom. I was on the DU (dirty unicorn) 4.2 rom for a while and loved it and decided to try the 4.3 version of it again and the same sd card problem came up and of course had to go back but now the sd card problem came up in that rom as well. currently im running the 4.4 cm 11 rom and it works in there. This problem has had me stumped for weeks and don't know how to get around it. Thought achieving s-off would fix this some how but it didn't.
I know your hurt brothers im looking for the answer as well

I reflashed TWRP to the latest version and that didn't fix the problem. I'm running CM 10.1.3, android version 4.2.2. Are you saying the 4.2 and 4.3 builds have this bug?

[Q] storage won't mount in JB

I have a problem. This problem is the reason I stopped messing with JB roms a few months ago. I would try AOKP and CM10 roms both. I don't remember which one had the sd card not reading, but the other one wouldn't have data. So I gave up. I wondered back today and found out that the ota had been leaked. So I installed ss3.07, and used lightwave's util to get a jb kernel so I could dual boot. Then I isntalled hater's blur JB rom. I am running into this problem again where it says no sd card is inserted. I have tried different sd cards, and it reads fine on my ICS roms. Any help will be appreciated, thanks.
OH, additional news, when I goto my files app, it doesn't list any internal storage either....but I can still download apps from the market. It says device storage is unmounted.
Trying to get to storage in options FC's settings
To clarify some more things I've figured out, if I'm running a JB rom designed to run on ICS kernel, I can see the internal storage but not SD card. I can also access the storage settings menu. It just reports my internal storage, and says mount for sd card.
On a JB kernel and rom built from the the OTA leak, phone doesn't report any internal or sd card. This happens in any JB rom I try.
I hope this isn't too confusing. I would love to run JB some time soon. Thanks again.
I figured someone might at least have a joke or useless comment :/
I've had problems similar to this. I would take everything I needed off of the sd card and format it. Hope this works.
Tried that. Along with different sd cards. Thanks for the reply though.

[Q] no sd card access on pc

hi,
I have been unlocked and what not for a long time.
My latest ROM installed through TWRP was CM10.2. It really worked well... until it didn't anymore. I would reboot and it would get stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" white logo.
I wiped, did fresh clean install of same ROM and thought, surely that'd do it. Nope. Still same problem.
Did something get corrupted?
I used TWRP to restore the stock ROM (months ago as soon as I rooted and unlcocked, I backed it up). Phone works great, no problems, but I really liked the AOS/KP roms.
The thing is when I connect phone to PC, I can't even access the internal or external SD to copy an updated version of (any) rom. All that shows up is a folder that's marked as a CD (as if I inserted a CD) with samsung driver installer .exe and a couple of other files. I went ahead and ran the installer, still no go for SD card.
I also installed the toolkit found here on xda. Nothing. Still can't access the internal storage or SD card
What can I do?
Thank you!
edit: I am able to access the SD card from TWRP 2.6.1.0

WHen you plug your phone in, is it set to MTP or PTP. You should have it set to Media Transfer Protocol (MTP). Also take your sdcard out and make sure it can be read by a pc period.

Yes, MTP is what I was trying. the sd card works fine. I restored an old rooted stock rom from the first day I unlocked and rooted months ago.
Then after booting into stock rom, the PC "sees" my phone's SD.
I am no expert, but it seems something in the boot got currupted or messed up. No 3rd party roms go passed the white note 2 logo anymore.
I wiped and tried
- the CM 10.2 build that had been working awesome
- a new CM 10.2 build
- PAC MAN rom.
They install fine, first boot into the fresh TWRP-installed rom works fine. But when I reboot, they get stuck. The stock ROM restores fine and I can reboot no problem.
What can I do?
I'll try to change the topic name.
edit: well, I can't edit the topic name. If a mod can, please change to: "cannot boot into custom ROMs."
Did you fully wipe your SD from going to 4.1 -> 4.2/.3? That could cause an issue, maybe. I had a lot of issues changing from 4.1 to 4.2+. Some of the roms, like Carbon, would not let me connect to my computer. I finally settled on PACMAN and it works great. I would just try backing up internal storage, fully wiping everything on the internal memory, and installing one of the roms.
I always wipe internal storage

haven't tried causal again. I need to, I guess, because I miss the custom ROMS.

Getting Status 7 Error

I was running the Illusion rom for a while, but got tired of the graphical glitches and constant restarts. I wanted to change roms but I ran into an issue with CWM not reading my SD card and not giving me the option of using the internal storage. Ended up wiping it and returning it to stock and now it finally seems to be working again. However, I've ran into a new problem. I have several roms on my SD card and internal storage, but only Slimbean seems to work. Whenver I boot into CWM and try to flash I rom I get an Status 7 error.

Help! SD card not being read after flashing rom?

So i accidentally wiped my data in twrp while trying to flash a new rom and had to sideload a new one onto my HTC One X. So the sideload went fine and my rom started up but now my phone keeps saying there is no sd card on my device and i cant even use the camera now beacuse of that. I tried formatting the card but that doesn't work so i don't know what to do now. any suggestions? it keeps giving me a notification saying "SD card is blank or has unsupported filesystem" also.. the rom i am using is a cm10 rom with android 4.3. Sorry, im a noob at this stuff.

SD Card issue

So here is the process I went through that made me unable to read my SD Card
Before anything happened, I had CM13 on my Redmi Note 3 phone until 2 days ago, (my sd card was still fine) upon updating to CM14 (from Android 6 to 7.1) my google play kept crashing, so I read that I needed the 7.1 GAPPS version (which i forgot to do) so... I downloaded the PICO version of android 7.1 package and flashed it on my phone... than not only did google play error, but calendar and a bunch others....
so what I decided to do, is revert to the backup I made RIGHT BEFORE i updated anything (like any normal person would do) BUT I saw my SD card wouldnt be found in TWRP, so I went inside my phone to see if my phone recognizes my SD card... and nope, its also not in my file manager, so I went back into twrp and a couple menu's that allow you to select a stroage showed my SD card as 0mb.... weird.... so I took out my SD card from "Broken Phone #1" and put it into "OLD Phone #2" and my files on the SD card are there... alright, made a backup of my SD Card to my computer and formatted the SD card on "OLD Phone #2"... and nothing.
Still not showing on "Broken Phone #1".
I'd like to note that I cant mount the SD card in twrp... i think it doesnt recognize it at all.
So what makes me think theres no issue with my phone's pins, is that I hadnt even REMOVED the tray before the problem started to appear.
Currently my phone is OS' less since i tried reverting to my "stock" CM13 (not 14) and that didnt work so i wiped system cache and data.
I can put in an OS again if it will help to fix the issue, but thats where im currently at, I would love some help from anyone with any suggestions.
Thank you for your time.
