i dont have a memory card reader so is there anyway i can upgrade my xda to 2003 ie is there an exe like the dev rom out there?
Sure there's but ..............
Dear gb155
Yes there's but it's not recommended just incase you need to go back to the previous version of your ROM it would be hard to do it without SD Card.

Hi all!
Quick (I hope) question.
I have a M1000 that I have been using with a Kingstone 128MB SD Card. I also have a PC with one of these multiple card reader built in (6-1 I think they call it).
When I put my Kingstone card in the PC 6-1 a window open automatically with the card content.
Now I have finally bought a 1GB SD card from Billionton (48x) on eBay.
When I put the Billionton in my PDA everything seems fine, I can see the card and record on it.
When I put the card in my PC it can't read it at best, if I try to turn it on with the card inserted windows get stuck before login... (I am using XP)
I can see the GB card only through ctive Sync.
What can be the reason for it? Updating the drivers on my 6-1 is not an option... I have already looked for them...
If the solution is "formt the card" can u suggest a SW that I can use from my PDA?
Thank you!
Chris

Hi,
I'm new to this so please be gentle with me.
I have brought a Kingston 256mb SD Card and put it into my XDA II but the problem is I dont seem to be able to access it.
Can anyone please help.

Hm...i think you made a bad choice of using kingston 256 mb sd card. I use the same card as you do...but until now nothing happens with my card. My friend encounters the same problem with you. Maybe your card is defected like my friend's ? He changed to another brand though
you could try formatting it in a sdreader or in the xda using storage tools or pocket mechanics
do you have link for pocket mechanic.
tried doing a search on here but it returns too many unrelated threads.
thanks in advance

Thanks for the link but the program only recognises a 14mb card, which i didnt think i had???? or is that inbuilt into the xda II.
It still doesn't recognise my kingston 256 card.....
Any other suggestions guy!!!!
Try to format the card with a digital camera.
storage is the name of the backup
storagecard is the name of the sd card
if it cant see the storagecard then you can try with storage tool
http://www.softwinter.com/storagetools.html
if that also dont want to see the card then you can try formatting with a cam like was said
or maybe the card is just defect
Thanks again Rudegar
Tried that but that also didnt work. Only recognises 16Mb of Extended ROM and 16MB of storage memory.
Like I said before I am new to this and now I also a bit thick. Can you confirm to me the following;
1. XDA II come with 128 MB of memory
2. They come with 16 MB of RROM
3. They also come with 16 MB of memory
I didnt think point 3 was valid.
Anyway i'll just have to try the Kingston 256MB on a camera and see if it works. If that fails, I'll just have to get another one.
Also can anyone connfirm to me that when you put a SD Card into the memory slot at the top does the XDA II automatically recognise it?
Thanks you all for keeping up with my stupidity.
Go to settings
then to system
then memory
then to storage card
and then on the drop down does it show the two mediums
Storage card AND
storage this is normally 14.57 or depending how much you have assinged to it
The storage card is the external medium like by me a 512 gives about 488 free space

I have the same problem. Storage Tools isn't recognizing my card either...
Did you found any solution to this?
Yes. The solution was to replace the card. The card itself was fualty. I now have 1GB Kingmax SD card which works briliantly

In my case by restoring an old sprite backup after the upgrade to Rom 1.72 the access to my SD card was removed; so I reinstalled 1.72 and will not use the old backup anymore.
I've tried all of the above
My XDA II doesn't recognize SD cards..I changed the cards (although working in card reader with my PC), I hard rest the XDA II, re downlaod the new ROM, and nothing happining ..My problem started after downlaoding the new ROM and unlocking my XDAII with the tool in this site!! at the same time I don't know if this is related!! please help meeeeeeeeeeee!!! I tried every thing ..urgent help needed please
Hi,
Someone plse help me!
I bought a sandisk 1g sd card for my XDA II. During copying files (+- 500MB) via USB, activesync gives me an error (A device stopped functioning...) afterwhich the XDA doesn't see the card at all.
The supplier replaced the card and the same thing has happened the first time I wrote to the new card.
I can't format the card because the XDA doesn't see it.
What can I do?
Paul
edit : I have ROM 2.06.00WWE, Radio 1.18.00 Protocol 1337.38 extROM Sin.Merged.v2.0
My 512MB card works perfectly
I find that transfering anything to an SD Card on my XDA takes forever. Whenever I want to transfer anything over, I use a card reader.
It may be worth investing in one, as they're only around £15-30. The speeds will be MUCH faster, and I recon you may be rid of this error.

You may have to format ur SD first, I recommend formatting it to FAT32..
U can format it using StorageTools or Pocket Mechanic.. U can Google them, I can't remember where I downld them..
I recommend format it using Card Reader on your PC not on your pocketpc
My s200 without warning not read any SD card...the PDA not finds the card!
I have tested it in many ways, I have installed many ROM, and finally the original WM5 ROM, but this problem remains.
Anyone have any idea for repair it, or any test?
tnx in advance.
Hello.
I had that problem too.
Try to Blow hard to the SD Slot.
It worked witm me.
If The problem remains could be hardware problem.
Sorry for my English!

do you mean that WM6.1 cannot read the 2GB SD Card, and only WM6 can read?
If yes, then I will use the WM6 ROM, which is the best ROM?
Thank you.

mmm....WM6 and WM6.1 can read the 2gb card...
have you try to format the SD from the PDA?
or you can try to format the SD from the pc (you must use FAT32, i think...)

hi
format a card on pc with fat16 (not fat32)
head similar problem after formatting card with fat32.
I have the same problem. I've tried many applications that mange storage cards and in the Memory Definitions - Memory Card . it just appears "Not Installed".
Is it hardware problem??What can i do to find if it's hardware problem?

I don't really think its a hardware problem I think your device does not support the type of SD card you have remember not every SD card will work you need to find one that works on your device check out your manural am sure that can help. Also the brand and size matter aswell

I've already tried different brand like an Toshiba 2.0 Gb, Kingston 1 Gb, and i bought a San Disc 2Gb 100x..
I down know what else can i do..
Cumps CyreX
Well sorry could be a Hardware problem then did you try a Different ROM? maybe al try it and report back my findings but dont wait lol it will take some time and SanDisk is what I use it's supported I use 512MB by the way al try my friends 2 GB and tell you ok but I guess our Prophets just dont support 2GB I guess
In a Portuguese forum, there's some guys who have Prophet and have 2gb storage cards.. So i guess it's really a hardware problem..Or maybe it's the card that it's not right formated.. Dunno.. in th mean while, i'll want for your check up lyndel4
Thanks,

Im with the same problem, my SPV M600 work fine for sometime with my Kingston SD 2gb, and suddenly it doesn't work more. I trayed many ways to have it working, but i guess this a hardware problem yet.
I dont know what i do. ;/
EDIT:
I had this problem repaired changing the card's brand, I'm using now Apacer http://emea.apacer.com/en/products/Secure_Digital_Card.htm
The Prophet only read's SD card's, not SDhc card's
I have a 4 GB SD card bought here:

Hi
I got my Prophet for 20€, because the Ccrdreader should'nt work any more. I took a needle and carefully pulled realy lof of dust flocks from the card reader. There was some dust collected over several years. Now the reader works again - juuhuu.
Same thing with my older charmer.
Try to get the dust from the slot - with thin needle , be carefully and dont berak or bend any pins inside.
I have the same problem, work fine sd card but sundly not work good ... sometimes read other no

hi,its my 2nd day having a hd2.
I think my card isnt comaptible to wp7
its a Rdata class 6 16gb card.
I bought a used t-mobile hd2 running on stock wm6.5
and decided to dual boot on wp7 and android
the thing is when I installed LEO70 ROM everything went well.
no reboots or anything like that showing incopability of the sd card.
BUT, apparently when I was going to prepare the sd card for partitioning as I read on guide I followed.
my card reader wont pick up my 16gb rdata class 6 card. OUCH!
even my old nokia phone rejects it and says its unformatted blah blah blah.
plugged it in again on the hd2 then went to zune and zune says 0 free space.
plugged the sd card again on a card reader and still no go.
tried another card reader and still it wont pick it up.
then tried another card reader.
this time it reads but for minutes and minutes for scanning.
no drive letter.nothing.
tried a 8gb card and ALL the reader picks up.
opened sdcard formatter and it wont pick up my sd card.
MAGDLR 1.13 wont recognize it too. all I head is the sound of a hardware being connected to the pc and that's it
please someone help me here.
I will be so glad if you could help me with this problem
I wont go back to wp7 again after I resolve this.the sd was working
how DO I revive the sd card for other use?if I canr use it for wp7
I dont wanna waste another card trying though.
note: Im currently downloading a stock t-mobile MR 3.14.531.1.exe
is this safe?and if I successfully install this will winmo 6.5 be able to format my sd? please I dont have extra money to buy another card cause all of my sd cards are being used by other phone.
thanks in advance
Get yourself a copy of SDFormatter. Put the card into your PC and run this free utility. You should then be able to do a complete format through Windows.
Your sd card is not compatiable. There are many threads in xda about this and how to format, copy partitions etc. THis thread is also useful giving you links for partition/format utility http://www.techienote.com/tag/technology
Format your card and use it for something else. Have a read of the threads in the wp7 hd2 forums, there are a few threads about which cards reported that work, I use a transcend 8gb class 6, works well.
ok thanks will try reading more
and by the way I have sd formatter but it really wont pick up my sd haha
ok thanks will try reading more
and by the way I have sd formatter and easeus but it really wont pick up my sd haha
what a shame.
another wasted money
Was reading earlier somewhere on here and they were talking about a low level formatter. Then format it using regular tools. What ever that is not sure but apparently it fixes some of these problems.
