SD card not recognized after update
 
I recently updated to the newest ROM. Since then all has been well, but my mogul won't recognize my 2gb SD card. When I use my card reader on my computer, it sees everything fine, so I know that the card is fine. I tried formatting the card with a card reader on my computer (in FAT format) but still the mogul doesn't see it. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I appoligise in advance if this has been covered. I tried searching, but didn't find anything.

try formating it fat32 also try taking it out and putting it back in a couple times, sometimes if I swap the sd cards too quickly in my phone it doesn't realise that they are there, but taking it out, waiting a second, then putting it back in usually fixes it.

I have tried removing the card several times. Soft booting with both the card in, and out. I will try the fat32 format when I get home. Thanks

Well I reformatted it in fat32 and am having the same problem. It doesn't see the card at all. Any other ideas?

Do you happen to still have the stock one that came with it to try an isolate the issue.....if that one does not work then you probably have a failure in the phone....


Also this may sound dumb....but did you make sure the card is un-locked? it should not matter as you should still be able to see the files just not use them....but you never know

you only need to do this for flashing...the card should work either way

I do still have the stock card, will have to see what I did with it and give it a try.

I am not aware of a lock on the card. I know there is a lock on the SD adapter, which is unlocked when I use it in my card reader, but not on the micro SD card itself.

Well I tried the 512mb card that came with the phone - it isn't recognized either. It's strange that I didn't have any problems before I updated. Would a hard reset do me any good?

It cannot hurt.....if that does not do it I would also try to flash again....neither can hurt...

I recently had the very same problem when integrating DCD's rom to ppckitchen. Are you by chance trying the same thing?

on the titan, there is a tiny switch inside that lets the phone know when there is a card inserted.. sometimes I don't push the card in far enough to trigger the switch (but it will still stay in the phone) you could try pushing it in just a bit further when inserting, but it kinda sounds like the switch may be broken... TEP??

I actually have a semi-similar problem that I have yet to post on the nuerom forum. The microsd cards are all fat32 formatted and are readable on my mogul, and can be used through the phone on the computer registering them as mass storage decives (kind of funny when there are terabyte externals but I digress...) Problem that I have been having is the three cards that have come in contact with my phone are no longer readable by my digital camera. The camera automaticall unlocks the SD adapter upon insertion so that is not the issue, but it does give me a "Bad Card" error. It is not a problem with the camera as I have a fourth microsd card that the camera can read, this fourth card hasn't come in contact with a phone loaded with no2chem's pre8.

I have tried formating the cards in several different devices to no avail.

If the screen is turned off it lights back up when I insert the card, so I know that it knows there is a card in there. It just doesn't read it.

I have tried hard resetting twice and reflashed, but still the same problem. I am going to stop by sprint after work and see what they think. I am just worried that if they give me a new phone and I update it, that I will have the same problem that I do now.

I had a similar problem, I unlocked my Titan using the SD upgrade bootloader method (which formatted my 2GB San Disk Card in the process). I cooked a custom Rom but it wouldn't boot past the splash screen. Since I was out of time to re-cook and see what was preventing the boot I flashed the latest Sprint ROM. I copied a few files via activesync and left the office.

At home I tried to restore the backup of my card and got stuck in a loop formatting FAT32 on the PC then the Titan formatting it to RAW. After searching I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/arch.../t-273487.html

It suggested formatting the card in a digital camera. I did, and it worked like a charm! My card is now visable in the PC and PPC. Just thought I'd share the love, props to XDA.
