What went wrong? MMC - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Hi,
I have been using a TwinMOS 128MB MMC since the day i've got my XDA2 which is Last Dec.
i haven't had any problems with it, until lately, i have been encountering this error...
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Unrecognized Card"
"Enter the name of the device driver for this card. For
Information, see the card manufacturer's documentation"
[Unknown card in Socket 1 ]
[OK] [Cancel]
---------------------------------------------------------------------
have anyone of you encountered this before? and how did you solve it?
Upgrading my ROM from 1.03 -> 1.60 didn't help, still got that error.
ROM : 1.60.00WWE
ROM : 12/03/03
Radio : 1.08.00
Protocol : 1337.18
Ext : 1.60.44
My XDA2 has got the backpack installed as well.
Thanks for your help

Well thats the same error that i have got with my CF GPS Card
that i have install into my backpack
If you get a fix please let me know

I just realised that by removing my MicroDrive in the backpack and soft resetting it, the error doesn't come out anymore.
but the microdrive used to be working very well....
hmmmm

Realised my BackPack is loosening, a little shake would result in connection and disconneciton of my backpack
anyone with anyway to secure it?

I had a similar problem with backpack that I solved installing Pocket Mechanic. In Storage folders you name "secure digital card folder name" like Secure Digital, and "MMC card folder name" like MMC and the problem disappear. If you have programs installed in the SD or MMC you will have to return to install them.
Sorry by my bad English

My XDA2 just died!!

Received an incoming call whilst phone was in the docking cradle, removed to answer call and after 20 secs or so phone just died and won't do a thing!!
Occasionally tries to restart when in the cradle, but won't complete boot up!!
Any ideas??
try doing a softreset
if that dont help i suppose you need to try a hardreset
Won't do a soft reset as it won't turn on on battery power!!
Believe that it has done a hard reset on it's own as occasionally (when in cradle) it gets as far as aligning the screen but then just dies again.
well a hardreset would remove all software and data not located in rom
so maybe it's a hardware issue i would prob try and get it fixed within warrenty
we had a similar problem with a 1.52 version phone.
after upgrading to 1.60 the problem was gone.
we did need to upgrade via sd card, and copying the rom from a working 1.60 phone.
see http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/bl-ii-usage.html for partial instructions on how to do this.
the commands to type to create the sd card are:
Code:
d2s
d2s 60000000 00300000 sd a
d2s 70080000 01000000 sd a
this should create a sd card with the osrom, the radio rom, the extended rom.

!!!please help!!!- upgrade with broken SD card slot.

Hi everyone,
I have a very strange problem with my MDA1 Wallaby phone.
I had 4.01.12 version of the ROM. I tried to upgrade WM2003SE (with exe file), but something bad happen, when it was 99%. Now I have only bootloader working (5.15) and GSM OK.
I tried to upgrade via SD card, but everytime I get "CHECKSUM IS NOT CORRECT" after the upgrade. I cannot update WM any more. (I tried 4 different SD cards, so I think the problem is somewhere else). When I test the SD card in bootloader by selecting SD card test it says TEST error with every SD. Is it OK?
What should I do?? Is there other way, how to upgrade my precious MDA (not Active Sync and not SD) ?
Please help me! I am desperate and do not know what to do.....
HELP appreciated...
"CHECKSUM IS NOT CORRECT" message after the upgrade from SD card is no problem. Try a soft reset after this message.

can't boot to windows - hang whole day with a white screen. Maybe SD card slot is bad...
And I am very very very very stupid - I forgot to make a Hard reset before upgrading and didn't make a backup of last ROM.

Corrupt SD card

There is problem of corrupt SD card with Artemis.

I have same problem with P4350 (Herald) micro SD Card SanDisk 2 Gb.
I bye it 2 weeks ago and yesterday all files at SD card missing. I recovered some files by R-Studio software.
No TomTom software, but installed Resco Explorer.
i have the exact same problem with my sandisk 2gb card on the p4350 (the same card i use in my hermes where it works perfectly for about 4-5 months). it always happens when i save data to the card with a softreset following (f.e. backup). the card isn't recognized anymore or has folders with strange characters on the sdcard). then i remove the card, do a SR and put the card back in afterwards. after that everything is fine again.
very strange.
I plan to send letter to HTC suppurt.
lucky for me i spotted this then, i was about to order a 2gb card but i'll think i'll go with the 1gb instead.
incidently is anybody working with a 2gb card with no problems?
it's not a problem of the sd card but of the p4350. the card works perfectly in the hermes for months.
so why would a 1GB sd card work perfectly and a 2gb not when the sd card itself is definetly not the problem?

I got a reply from HTC Support:
Hello Milen,
Thank you for contacting HTC Europe.
We have seen this problem before on the HTC P3300. Currently we have escalated this issue to our R&D team in Taiwan, and they are investigating.
We are unsure as to the time frame for resolution of this issue, as our team still need to recreate the problem, establish cause, and create fix.
Should you have any other problem, please do not hesitate to contact us again. Your local number can be found at http://www.europe.htc.com/support/cs_by_phone.html
Yours sincerely

First the card, now the phone...
Like many others I have experienced an occasional problem with corruption on a 2Gb MicroSD in my XDA Orbit. First time I fixed it with a soft-reset.
I have had the issue again yesterday and re-formatted my card to start again. The problem started yesterday when I noticed that the names of Storage Card folders were corrupted (lots of null characters). When I connected to PC and browsed I saw 2 folders named 'Storage Card' visible. Although the card now looked almost completely empty to Windows, the PPC Memory/StorageCard applet still reported 700+ MB storage in use.
After reformatting and loading up my TomTom data from XP. I put the card back into the phone, but it appeared that the phone was still remembering yesterday's view of the card, mixed up with todays! The bit from yesterday was the storage card folders used by poutlook for attachments.
I decided I must hard reset, and then it should be OK right? Since the reset I have been unable to complete the boot sequence on the phone - it just hangs after showing the version numbers on the startup screen for O2.
Seems like a warranty job, but since I bought it on ebay from a guy who sells lots of them, that may not be easy!
Any ideas how to kick it into life? I've tried both with/without SIM/SD/power cord/etc.
seems to be the same problem as on the Artemis ((((((
Ok, Trinity (HTC P3600) got it too ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291988 )
Seems to be an OS bug, HTC promised an update !!!

Dear HTC support,
Do you officially plan to publish a firmware update for Herald, Trinity
and Artemis because of their bug to corrupt the flash memory card
after normally read-write access? Or I and many other people like me
have to return their phones to you? A time period will be a good answer!
Here is my device information:
HTC P4350 - Herald
ROM version: 1.8.405.1 WWE
ROM date: 11/03/06
Radio version: 02.71.90
Protocol version: 4.1.13.31
ExtROM version: 1.8.405.101
All best,
Milen

Dear Milen,
At the moment we do not have an exact date for when updates
will be released. We are expecting this to be in Q1 2007.
Also as yet we cannot confirm the location for any downloads.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this.
Thank you for your enquiry... blah blah
That damn thing screwed up my data too!
I wrote to HTC support. Wondering, are they gonna answer or what?
"Corrupt data on MicroSD card" Dear support, Yesterday I'd discovered another wonderful feature of P4350. All the data on my MicroSD card was destroyed! No folders or files, just a junk file named "squareСЭSquareEx" 0 bytes in size. After running scandisk using SD Card reader I've had all my files unreadable in FOUND.000 folder. Information on device: ROM: 1.8.411.3 RUS Rom Date: 11/03/06 GSM: 02.71.90 ExtRom: 1.8.411.103 MicroSD Card info: Kingston 1Gb SDC/1GB 0645G88588U SD-C01G Japan The device was being used just as usual and worked fine during the whole week. The only difference was that I've been using WiFi extensively and it was the first time when the battery power was lower than 35%. What are you going to do about it and who is gonna pay me for such an incredible inconvenience?

Hello people! I might just have the solution to HTC memory card problem, but im not shure about it, i dont own Artemis or Herald so i cant check it out.
Today morning i had a great idea:
I own a Qtek s110, for today plugins i use SPB Pocket Plus 3 and it has 1 thing that differs form using it on any other device - the memory card status! It is hidden on Qtek. When you try to enable it it tells you that it may be the cause of data loss and instability of system. As you should know Qtek is built by HTC.
My idea is try to disable any memory card status idicator and see if that cures the problem, because i think this trouble has been on long before HTC brand started building their own devices! Good luck!
After i installed the program tweaks2k2.net on my P4350 i experienced the same problem with my a-data 1Gb microsd. In my case removing this program also removed the problem with the corrupt storagecard.
Another annoying problem is that my ringtone is constantly changed to windows default when i hit the ok-button....
SD card "renewal"
Like many of you I have sometimes (but relatively frequently) corrupted my SD. I have found out that the corruption is very often in the cache only. If i put SD card out and put it in back again the card content is correct and without corruption.

i've heard that you should format your SD-card to FAT-16... it was written somewhere on tweakers.net. Maybe this is an option..? I own a 2gb micro sd and i never experienced any problems.. let me know if this is usefull or even possible
I've heard that you should format your SD-card as FAT-16.. This whas said somewhere on tweakers.net. I'll search for this topic. I use A 2GB micro SD card with my p4350, i did not encounter any probs.. Let me know if this was helpfull
Possible solution?
I had a similar problem. My SD card wasn't recognized anymore after a while, sometimes after a backup. Now I fixed it. I discovered that I shouldn't move the programlinks in the "start menu" manually. Some programs, which I still don't know which one exactly, should stay in the root. These are the programs installed by default. When I putted the program back to the root of "start menu" folder, the storage card was recognized again.

SD Card + Flashing help

Hey there,
A mate has a HTC Trinity (actually a Dopod 810) running WM5, and the miniSD reader seems to be faulty. He only got it a few days ago.
It was working fine when he got the card (2gb), but recently it was being charged from USB, and when a USB flash drive was plugged in and accessed(on these temperamental computers), the computer automatically rebooted, my diagnosis being that they are old and crappy (windows error reporting said something about antivirus software causing it). Activesync wasnt installed, and the found new hardware wizard was cancelled.
This is the only time where i think it couldve somehow been damaged, but i dont get how when the SD card wasnt being accessed at the time (it was in 'standby'), how it affected it and nothing else.
Anyway, he's tried different SD Cards, Soft and Hard reset with it in and out. When the card is inserted it shows in System > About and the backlight lights up, but according to the 'storage card' section there is no card inserted.
Any ideas at all? Would flashing it to 6.1 help? Can anyone suggest the latest and greatest ROM for the Dopod 810? There are heaps of them, but he wants one that looks good but won't be bogged down heaps so theres no RAM/ROM for anything else. Is there a guide for noobs on how to flash to a ROM? Seems theres something to do with SPL somewhere?
Rom version: 1.23.707.5
Rom date: 02/14/07
Radio version: 1.33.30.10
Protocol version: 32.66.7020.10H
