My be it's your memory card. Does your pc or any-other device recognize your memory card?

Did you buy the card from an eBay seller? If so, it might be fake.

This is an old post on CrackBerry, but it might be helpful to test if the card is fake.

I bought it from from a big store (toshiba memory card) and it worked on older phone (xperia - sonny )
not the device asked me to format it in order to work but I ignored as I was configuring the main start up options when I tried to find how to format it later the device says cant find memory card
