Yesterday, during my tests with ROMs, the SD slot stopped working...nothing helps...even SR, HR or anything else ( I've also tried to rewrite whole ROM).
Any ideas before I'll search somebody to look inside it??
THX.

Hello lads,
I've got a problem, my SD Card Slot has stopped working.
I've tried another SD Card, i've tried soft-reset's, i've tried different WM5 ROM's, i've triedan original ROM on the Prophet , and I still can't get it working.it dosen't have some dirty inside
Anybody got any idea's please ?
FIXED!
Hi mate,
I had the same problem with my phone, when I updated to a WM6 ROM. Seems the timing was just really really bad.
Here's what I did to fix it.
1)Remove the SD Card
2)Blow Hard into the SD Card Slot
3)Put the SD Card back in, see if it reads.
4)If it doesnt work, try the same process again, usually the second time will definately get it going.
This is a common problem among Prophet users..the slot gets dirty after a period of time.
If the above process doesn't work for you, or you don't want to use it, there is a second way.
1)Find the old "Fake" SD Card that came in the phone when you got it.
2)Put a little alcohol on the connecter end of it.
3)Insert and remove it a couple of times to clean the ports.
4)Leave your prophet for a little while
5)Insert your SD Card, and it will worK!!

hi,
i have this 4GB SDHC installed on my dopod 838pro (hermes)... and have lots of software installed on it.. the problem is after "off" mode (hybernate), all installed softwares on the SD card is not readable and can not run anything.. you can browse the folders but all are empty... what i always do is i will eject and insert the sd card and all goes well again.. does any one knows the best solution for this? I searched google and i have not find this problem/solution.. thanks in advance...
a think that the maximum is 2G
I use an 8 Gb card, no problems. May be the sd card, may be the rom you are using. Try backing up the sd card then re-formatting it FAT32. Transfer everything back and re-insert. Go to "hybernate" then power back up. See if that works.
The 2nd thing to try is change your ROM.
Or try another sdhc card. It may be a faulty card.
Cheers...
i have almost the same problem (4GB Kingston microSDHC). some of the folders remain empty and i don't know why.
i've changed 3 ROMs and with the last one (official) happened just for one folder till now. anyway it seems that the official rom is far more stable than the cooked ones and everything works as it should.
is there any wm6.1 rom that can be as stable as official wm6.0?
anyway, i've seen this problem metioned by others and I don't know what the cause is: card, pda or ROM.
maybe is out there someone that can help.
@ultramag: what ROM are you using?
re
mine is also 4GB Kingston.. maybe the Kingston is the problem.. my current rom is CRC v13.3
I'm yesying the new WM 6.5 rom by section8prime8, build 21139. Seems to work fine so far but only had it on for a couple of days. No problem with sdhc though... On ANY rom I've tried....
Hello folks,
I figured I would go to the experts to get an answer to my question.
On my universal I was running Windows Mobile 6.1, I didn't really like it as the phone was unstable, so I downgraded to Tmobile Windows Mobile 5 (which is what ships on the phone) everything is running smooth (Shout out to SPB Shell 3.0 AWESOME!!!)
anyways after the downgrade which went through without incident, my SD card reader does not SD cards, I know it is not hardware because it worked fine when the device was running WM6.1.
Anyome have any ideas as to what happened?
the device simply does not recognize any size, 32MB all the way to 2GB.
I have searched and found nothing.
Anyone have an updated driver for the SDCard reader?
I have extRom installed so I can put whatever I want into EXTRom and have it install.
Crapgame
It's because native WM5 can't use SDHC (SD cards are only up to 2GB). I think you can simply install SD settings by OllieD - where you can change to Type 1 or 2. Sorry unless someone else can help, you'll have to search for it.
I think i have the same issue.
The device sometimes see the card when set to standard SD or SDHC Type-I but it's really inconsistent.
Driving me nuts.
I had a similar problem, i had to eject and reinsert the card multiple times to get it to see it. The card SEEMED fine because it would work in my pc (via usb adapter)) and digital camera with no problems. But when i tried the one from the camera in the universal it worked fine, absolutely no problems.
So I bought a new sandisk one from ebay and all has been fine since, seems like it was being picky about the original SD!
i think, the sd card is formatted fat16
you formatted with "Haret"?
Haret?
Sorry for the noob question, but what do you mean?
I have tried formatting the card fat16, fat32, NTFS
nothing works
I have even tried install SD settings by OllieD adn that did not work
according to the specs I should be able to use my 2GB Sandisk Extreme III 2.0 GB SD Card, but alas my uni just does not see it.
any other suggerstions tips?
Also does spbsoftwarehouse's backup work really well?
I want to try some other ROMS on the device and I dread having to reinstall everything and reconfigure it too.
I would much rather back the dang thing up then experiment with various ROMS and then if nothing is to my liking, put my old ROM back with all my 'stuff'.
I have similiar problem.
In the past I have changed many ROM's from Tomal and many others. WM 5, 6.1, 6.5 and never had a problem with the card.
My last ROM where everything worked was Luca15thebig. After that I wanted to go back to Tomal V8.9 and then my problem started:
I did DOC format (always do that), put Tomal's ROM - ups, no SD card (with any SD card settings).
Did some searching on the forum, found similiar problem which was solved by flashing some factory shipped i-mate ROM. Again, DOC format, flashing that ROM (it is all-in-one ROM: radio, ext-rom and operating system). Booted that system (wow, time-warp to past ), frankly I didnt expect that my 8GB SDHC will work there - and it didnt.
Again DOC format> flashing Tomal V8.9 ROM> upgrading radio (that i-mate ROM reverted it back to 1.03). After a while booted Uni with Tomal's ROM, no SD card. Tried all settings, nothing.
Tried same thing but with that new Thing V2.3 ROM (very fast and stable BTW). Same thing - no SD card in file explorer.
My card works in my laptop. I even tried to format it in laptop - and my Uni still dont see it.
My friend has an Uni and I tried that card in his device. It works (he is using Tomal V8.7 ROM). Tried his 1GB SD card in my Uni - not working in my device.
Im no specialist but i think you guys have a hardware issue with the SD port. Maybe loose or something inside. Hope thats not the case. If multiple cards using multiple Roms do not work in Uni but work anywhere else then I would have someone or myself check to make sure the SD slot is soldered properly still.
i've encounted many issues with the SD + sdhc drivers for the universal, i'llw rite up a longer post with more information later as i've had a long day.
summary: keep trying different cabs, one will eventually work. make sure its formatted FAT32. popping it in and out+softresetitng a few times may be required.
hello everyone.
i have a problem and i hope you guys can help me by sharing your idea's / thoughts.
the problem is that my Sandisk 8gb class 2 isnt recognised by anything anymore.. here is my story what led to this event.
i was going to flash a new rom. so i removed sim and sd card (removed my card becouse i was using mtty task 29 with radio and was affraid it would remove the data on there too.) anyway after that was done i flashed EnergyROM with max sense. but it was the different max sense that i was hoping for so i flashed to energyrom 17th march with cookie shortly after. i installed some programs from storage card.. seemed to work fine. i plugged it in my computer as a disk drive, put some programs on it. it was busy and then it disappeared. it wouldnt show up on the phone to so i soft reset it. still nothing.. i hard reset and it still was gone.. then i put it in a sd adapter and into my laptop. wouldnt show there too. so can it be that it got ****ed up by the rom? (becouse there are other ppl having this issue)
any help would be welcome..

You've mentioned in your post that it stopped working whilst connected to your computer, so how would it be the ROM causing the issue?

i am not sure about that but there are 2 other people i saw in the energyrom threat posting about the same subject. (here and here) since there is not much help about the subject there and im not sure its even rom related i came here to ask for help.
i read somewhere that it could be possibly fixed by putting the card for 2 hours in the freezer. but that didnt work for me..

Hello Jamieeeee,
I couldn't agree you more ... ! I have exactly the same encounter as you. My Sandisk 8G card is corrupted soon after flashing EnergyRom Maxmanila for a few hours (Before flashing, I removed my sim and sd card). Then, I put the card in three different computers hoping that I could recover the files but failed. Still searching for resolutions!
Could this be hd2 or sd card's problem?
your hd2's came with an 8 gig? mine came with a 16 gig. sweet!
yeah, that sux tho. did you try reformating the card?
the 16gb sd card that came with this phone seems very cheap.. when i tried to copy a few GB of music and a couple movies on mine (through activesync) it kept crashing..
the phone would say it recognized a sd card inserted, but it wouldnt scan it nor did the pc detect the "drive"
i had to reset the phone several times durring the transfer..
finally i just went with a better quality 8gb sd card i had.. its much faster.
i was going to try to contact tmobile and now that ive seen posts about the sd card i think i will.
hi all
Regarding this problem we all are having i think its got to do with the energy rom somewhere as i have flashed different energy roms and SD card appear for so long and then disappear. After taking battery out and then it will reappear again and disappear again.
I got it to stay on one rom installed all programs i needed etc then did a reset it disappeared and still gone but it can re read by a card reader so not corrupted.
so it's got something to do the Energy rom i think.
any thoughts ?

not related to rom
i too had the same problem with stock rom and if i recall well two more users got this problem with hd2 with stock rom. i also have got the stock sandisk 8gb. all people having this problem here have got the 8gb?? i think the problem is with the 8gb card supplied with the phone.
Hi,
After I replaced camera glass (because it was scratched), external SDcard isn't working. All combination of ROMs and kernels were tried but nothing helped. I also tried replace SIM and SD card connector to motherboard (something like this: ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-S4-GT-i9500-LTE-i9505-SIM-and-SD-Card-Connector-Flex-Cable-/301114351412 - sorry can't post outside link yet), but it didn't help either.
Neither in system nor recovery I can see sdcard.
It is probably a hardware issue, but can someone guess any other solution, try something or do any magic? What else could I try?
Thanks!
