I just applied the RUU update, and when I go to storage - Mount SD card is grayed out, doesn't appear to read my microSD at all. Worked fine before update.. any ideas?? It's a 64gb micro sdxc. I was going to try a reformat but wanted to see if anyone knew what else it could be first.

Mine did the same thing, a reboot worked for me (think I got lucky though, ;-p)
If it doesn't, do you have a spare sd card to put in there to try and isolate the problem, whether it's the phone or card.
Also are you stock, rooted, s-on/s-off, etc?

I did a reboot with the SD card out, and it didn't work when I put it in. But then I just rebooted with the SD still in the phone and it worked when it came back on! Thanks

Hey guys my buddy gave me a 16gb micro sd from his droid x. I guess something happens with those things and corrupts the sd card. Anyways, I was wondering if you guys knew a way to fix sd cards so I could use it in my atrix. Thanks!

You can get a USB adaptor ($2 - $5) that turns any SD card into a thumb drive. Then just plug it into an available usb port in your computer and reformat the card. Should work unless there's actual physical damage to the card.
I've found that there's an added bonus in that it's faster to move stuff (photos, movies, etc) to & from the card when I have a full-size laptop screen, mouse and file manager to work with.
Awesome guys. I think ill try the usb method and if that doesn't work im guessing ill be going to Wolly world!
Thanks guys!

Hi, i know you didn't have any files on the sd card you needed but I thought I would mention this software for anyone who recently went through what I did. My girlfriend came to me upset that her card suddenly had no photos on it, so I googled corrupted sd card and it came up with some opensource software called testdisk/photorec. It found almost all the pictures and made me look good...

its called asda over here but steeling a new card isnt much of a fix now is it lol

Try to use disk tools to exam your SD card and format it?
Not sure if this is the correct place for this thread but I recently purchased a 32GB Micro SD and it has an issue when I go to write stuff to it via USB from phone or adapter into front of PC.
When I put things onto it only certain things stay. For example, when I copy my music folder # - Bs get written on it and if I try to put on pictures nothing happens.
It goes through the process as if it is writing the files but then they go away whenever I remove the device.
Any ideas or thoughts?!?!?
THANKS!
It may be a faulty sd

If you bought a cheap off-brand card, it's probably just the fact that it's a crappy product. If it's a well known product that gets good reviews, it's probably a defect.
Try formatting the card and see if that helps.

It's a SanDisk 32GB.. I formatted it to FAT32. I don't know if that the correct format or not. Heard anything about SanDisk?

It's in Settings somewhere. Browse around the options - it'll be in a menu titled storage or something similar, or possibly in about phone if there's storage info there.
You should also be able to do it from recovery.

In my storage options i have "Erase SD Card" nothing about formatting. is that what i want?
Hey guys I took my sdcard out of the phone formatted it and when I put it back in the phone it now wont detect the sdcard and also it wont detect internal storage also...
EDIT: or nvm I rebooted it a couple times but now it detects the phone storage but when I put in my 16gb micro sd it does nothing until I remove it. When I remove it, it shows that it has been removed, but before that it doesn't show a sdcard is inserted... Yet when I put an 8gb one it it shows that it's in the phone...
Well we just discovered that our phones say there is no external storage at all. From best buy.

Format it in the phone, not on a computer. I'm using a 64gb in it right now, no issues.

I concur with this statement.
I too have a 64 gig card and I formatted it in the phone. The phone sees it as 59+gigs which is cool. But what I am trying to figure out is how to save or move apps to the actual sd card. Not phone storage that is the 9+ gigs, but the actual 64 gig card.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
I don't think there is a way to do this right now with out changing the mount points

The thing is that the phone doesn't even detect that i've inserted the card. When I insert the 8gb card it shows preparing the sd card and it gives me all the options to unmount/format/everything else. When I put the 16gb one in everything is still grayed out and it doesn't even think i've inserted a micro sd card.

So how hard is it to do that and/or how soon before you think it could happen? It seems though HTC could maybe do something or is just the way Android is. It just seems that it should just be a part of it. LOL. I mean I already have some music on the sd card by creating the folder...I just don't want to run out of space on my phone.
Ok, i'm going to bestbuy in a little bit to pick up a 32gb micro sd and see if it'll work with that...

Where did the other 4+ gig go? 4gb is a huge amount of storage

My phone won't recognize my 32gb sd card. I had an 8 in there and it's fine. However the 32gb isn't recognized. I've formatted the card and it's fine in a reader.

Does it show up in your phone as unavailable? When you look at settings -> storage? If not then you will be able to format it within those settings

Reason I ask is that I just had a 32gb pny sd card randomly go bad. It would open on my computer but would freeze up if I clicked anything. I couldn't even format it.
If you can, try and format it again and see if that works, if not then it looks like we're in the same boat

I don't think mine is bad because I can read it from a card reader. I can write and read. But no go for the phone. Also when i put the card in my phone it says it is damaged and then prompts me to format it and then when i format it it says card removed. However like i mentioned its fine in the reader.
Is it formatted as FAT32?

I'm in the same boat. I just moved over to an ASOP ROM and I keep getting that the SD is damaged. I reinstalled the ROM and downloaded it again. I even formatted the SD with the phone. After rebooting, I got the same message. The card works fine with my PC and my other phones.
Any ideas?
So I had a weird thing happen over the weekend. Decided to swap phones with my wife for a few days. She has a Note 4 DE. I got it all set up and swapped the SD cards. The card that was her's I put in the z3v and it would read it. Pulled it and put in my PCs card reader and it said it needed to be reformatted. I was able to get the files I needed off it by using some file recovery software. Then I reformatted the card and all was well.
Swappoed phones back last night and when I took MY card from the Note 4 and put it in the z3v the same thing happened. I'm in the process of recovering the files now.
Anyone else encountered this when swapping cards to the z3v?
You should go to the settings and storage then unmount the SD card before taking them out. Hope that helps.
