i-mate JAMin SD not working - NEW PHONE! - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General

G'Day!
I managed to pickup a JAMin to replace my aging O2 XDAII Mini. (*I wanted WiFi)
But on setting up everything again, the SD slot has junked out on me in around 2 hours of usage from new!
Ive got 2 cards - SanDisk 2GB Ultra II & Lexar 256Meg - both of which worked for the 1st test, now both are not recognized by the phone.
My SD reader on the computer says and plays them fine. - In the ABOUT of the phone it says that the "EXPANSION SLOT" is not in use with any card installed.
I've tried firmwares:
1. RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID
2. JAMin_WWE_2130923_21309112_020720_ship
3. JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_ship
.....With no luck....infact Im stuck on the RUU one now with the NBF file error now! and still no SD able to be read in the phone!
PLEASE give me guidence before this becomes many...many...MANY bits of plastic!!! :evil: :evil:

Try reformating your SD card in the PC card reader. It will erase all data, so back it up, but it might work.
Cheers.

UPDATE....
Thanks krale!
But the SD's work fine in my Magician and my SD reader.
I've tried that though...just in case.
No deal.
I've found a Telstra patch on the iMATE site in AU....and strangely it started to work for a bit.
It now will lock up for no reason and black screen.
Soft-reset will work, and I got to watch/try out things on it!!! YAYAYA!
Then 10 mins into watching a .avi show it froze and now will no longer see any SD's again.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
In order to get a repair I think I should downgrade its OS/firmware to the original imate versions. (The current one is a DOPOD).
But it gives me the ERROR [296] : UPGRADE ONLY
This NBF file cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get newer NBF file.
How do you downgrade the OS/Firmware versions?
THANKS ALL!!!

You'll be stuck in RUU (or DOPOD) ROM cause is 2.15.13.27 and it's newer than iMATE 2.13.09 you can't downgrade if you have uoyr PDA CID locked. You've have to upgrade to a ROM like the DOPOD one that you have or to one with upper number i.e. 2.15.14.00 but no to an older one.

Doh! Spontaneous SD card erase strikes again - under 4.00.10

:shock:
I've been running the 4.00.10 beta along with new T-Mobile radio stack on my T-Mobile phone since thursday morning. It's been pretty stable.
But tonight I lost everything on my SD card again. Anybody else had this problem with the latest rom? What brand of SD cards are you using, if it has happened?
Any new software installed?
Last software I installed was Pocket Plus last night, but it seems to have been working ok up until the big kaboom.
Ok, of to do a hard reset and install things again. Fun fun!
Pocket plus has known issues with pppc2003. I have found that it's storage card module may cause problems with sd card erasures. Delete it and try resco taskmanager instead. It's not as intuitive but works great.
FYI the same thing has happened to a friend of mine and he called T-Mobile and they're sending him a new unit.
BTW he was running T-Mobile ROM 4.00.10 RS A.20 on the T-Mobile USA Network using a Sandisk 256MB SD.
I've had it hose my Sandisk 256mb card several times now, even with no other software installed.
A while back I read somewhere about some PocketPCs (Not PPC Phones) having problems with the sandisk cards erasing themselves. I am wondering if something in WM2003 is making them exhibit this behavior on the PPC Phone :shock:
sd disk erase
Same thing happened to me, It otherwise works well
Is it the brand of memory??? or version 4
Maybe a combination of a certain kind of sd card and the 4.0 os? Hmmm
sd erasure
Had the same with my XDA. I have an scandisk 256 mb unit inserted.
2 weeks ago I upgraded with a cooked version of the wm2003 .05 After a few days, when turning the decice off, I couldn't turn it on again using the on-switch button. Had to soft-reset to get started... Also at one time the device told me that my sd card was locked, but in fact had still 180 MB's left!!
I coocked a 2002 version in the kitchen and was lucky to be able to downgrade... Formated my SD card using my scandisk cruser mobile USB dard adaptor....
Now everything is ok on 2002. The wm2003 seems still very unstable to me
I posted a message with another string to get informed if it is still advisable to upgrade to 2003 at this time...
The webmaster himself did'nt encounter it personally yet but he stated that he only has the card in place occasionaly...
L8er
Sandisk 256
Have had mine erase once and has corrupted itself once more on the 4.00.5 rom....both happened after unit appeared to lock up and I soft reset.

Corrupt SD card

There is problem of corrupt SD card with Artemis.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285511
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?
Here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285511
says, that no problem with 512 Mb cards only.
Hi,
this soed nor only occur with 2GB Cards. I Own the Herald 4 Days now, and after 2 days the Storage Card ist corrupt... It is an 1GB Micro SD
Hi,
The same problem here with my SanDisk 1GB
What's wrong with this phone ?
These are my numbers:

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:

Dear Milen,
At the moment we do not have an exact date for when updates

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.

Problem with MMC card

Hi.
I have problem with my universal and mmc cards ( i didn't try SD card yet).
When i set up camera to store photos on Storage Card. after taking photo application show something like "Storing image..." and I must wait and wait but app store this photo on card only when i remove it from slot and insert it again...
Please help
Hi,
i had the some Problem after upgrading my MDA Pro to AKU 3.3 of T-Mobile.
In my case after some time browsing my MMC or SD-Card was boring slow.
After removing it and pluging it in again I was able to use ist a few minutes.
In my Case only a Downgrade to AKU 2 solved the Problem.
But now my Wifi Connection does not work.
indeed, it can by cause of this problem. i also have TMobile firmware with AKU3.3
but maybe, if in other 'brandings' than TMobile this problem isn't exist then
maybe fault is on customization files on extended rom??
------
than folowing this posibility I unhided extended rom
renamed autorun.exe , RESET... and i will test it...
results soon
Hi,
after installing the normal T-Mobile ROM with all the Brandings i installed it and made the Soft-Reset before the brandings had been installed.
But unfortunately the problem was the same. So I dont think that it is a problem because of the Brandings.
Yes, You have right. It isn't because brandings...
wishmaster270: are You use MMC or SD card? and what type/model/manufacturer?
Hi,
i am using two Cards. One MMC with 1GB from mogu and one MMCplus Turbo Card with 2GB from AData.
similar problem as well
Just upgraded to latest Tmo ROM and have a similar problem my MMC card takes about 5-6 seconds to read when viewing it in file explorer and sometimes I can't even view it in Windows Media when trying to play music. But if eject and reinsert it will show all files.
In my case it takes between 20 and 60 seconds.
But anyway it seems to be a Problem with the T-Mobile ROM.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to write a few mails to T-Mobile Support.
So, i writing email to T-Mobile support...
and waiting...
anyway what is the best downgrade ROM with working SD/MMC??
don't want to downgrade
If the SDHC patch works on WM5, would rather use it and have more storage then downgrade
Hi,
I tried the SHDC and the Advanced Storage Card Handlig.
Unfortunately both did not work.
Downgrade to AKU2 worked fine for me. But its slower and I am not able to connect to my access point.
Well... T-mobile answered for my email...
Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile
[...]
it looks like that the memory card is not responding properly.
Please try the following to ensure that miniSD memory card is detected
by the T-Mobile MDA:
1. Tap the power button to turn off the screen.
2. Remove the miniSD card.
3. Verify that the card is labeled 'miniSD'.
4. Carefully re-insert the miniSD all the way back into the MDA.
5. Verify that the screen wakes up when you insert the miniSD memory
card.
o NOTE: If it does not wake up, the miniSD card may be defective.
If the memory card is not responding, you need to either format the
memory card or try different memory card in your phone. If the problem
persists, please write or call us back with your observations and we
will be happy to help you further. [...]

2003se upgrade for a dummy

So, ive read post after post on performing this task and it is still beyond my capabilities. My wallaby is running ppc2002, rom version is 3.20.06, radio version 4.21.01 protocol version 32s54. It's running bootloader 6.22, i havent got active sync, xdatools wont run due to missing dll's or some such thing. Have a 1gig sd and a 512mb mmc,,,,
How can i upgrade with this setup? visited rom kitchen (awesome site) and cooked up a rom, extracted NK.nbf,
Need help! Surely i can upgrade with this equipment,

Right, well got active sync which meens the dll's i needed are in system 32 or whatever. But,,, Does bootloader 6.22 cause problems?? Thanks for all the help,, sure this fone is a bit old but who cares. Massive screen, runs office, windows media, touch screen, great fone
Any suggestions? I cant be the only one without a data cable or cradle. At the end of the day i want the fone to run best as possible. I am thinking there is alot more compatable software for wm2003 then ppc2002? @ the moment im running mame and pacman,,,,,,,, Speaking of software, is the media player in 2002 meant to be slow? As far as video go's ive given up there.
what is your problem?
Problem is i dont seem to be able to downgrade from bootloader 6.22 to 5.15 so i can update the rom to 2003. doing ll this without a data cable or cradle.
Bootloader should not cause any problems.
Missing Dll´s for XDATools came as you have ssen correctly form ActiveSync. So you need to install this programm on your PC to use XDATools. Afterwards you will be able to wirte the ROM on your SD-Card and then flash the new ROM on your device.
So if you don´t have any cradle or cable, and don´t sync with ActiveSync, how did you manage your conacts,install software, exchange files, ....?
Stefan
I see the confusion
I have card reader's on the front panel of my pc. So i am using xardit to transfer the bootloader images onto either an sd or an MMC card. So i transfer the patch with the NB2 extension on to the card. Cold reboot xda and it gets to the normal screen telling me i need the keycard.
I can use either xdarit or isoimagetool to transfer the .NB1 file on to an SD.
I have no data cable, so these are the only methods i can use. Just pc with multi card card, sd car, mmc card.
LumpiStefan, the rom kitchen is a damn fine peice of work!
when i had a wallaby i only ever flashed it using a sdcard reader
was pretty easy used ositool put the nbf / nb1 on the sdcard
after which the cardreader could no longer read the sdcard(that mean it's successfully planted)
then i put in the sdcard and entered the bootloader and it autostart upgrading
and when it's don i hardreset and thats it
Hi And thanks
I have tried this with a 1g toshiba sd and a 512 sandisk mmc, neither seem to auto start an update. I have browsed the web a bit and have found different theories on bootloader being a problem. My card reader is a panel on the front of my pc, or using my ngage. tried formatting fat16 or fat32. Im sure it's currently ppc2002 as this is the first screen after the o2 water screen
I think your problems come from your card reader. Many people have reported, that the internal card reader causes problems in writing the ROMs in correct way on the cards. I would s uggest to use an external card reader/writer.....
Stefan
and those are only 10£$€'ish
Thanks guys for your help, all up and running now. I appreciate the advise. Rudegar, my problem was getting the wrong info from elsewhere, the solution was the card reader, Cost me $9.00 au to buy one. I thank you both

I've seen one other user with the same issue. What type / brand of SD card are you using? Trying to narrow down what is causing this... he had the same issue with same rom(s).
its the SanDisk 8GB SDHC one - one that came by default with Orange UK contract.
Btw, I did upgrade to the offcial 1.54/56 ROM before upgrading to the 2 ROMs above.

Maybe it's got to do with the power management policies the Chef applied. Try to use schaps' Advanced Config 3.3 to disable SD Card Power Management and see if it helps.
Also, some caches and DMA could be the culprits but first let's see about power management.
The Power Management is disabled.
Also, 1 thing I particularly noticed is when I open Windows Media player, attempt to update my library on storage card, it can find all my music files, but when it attempt to add the music to the library, it doesnt. and then the sd card disappear from File Explorer, WMP libary option.
Backup your sd card to your PC, and reformat it. Had the same problem, fixed with a format

I have the same SanDisk8GB SDHC one - default card which came with the phone. Same thing happned. It has become very slow to access, and practically useless, the phone cannot detect the card. If put into the computer with the adapter then also it is the same computer cannot read it or sometimes takes too long, cannot format. this happened after the 1.54/56 rom.
Happened to me also with some custom ROM.
I used my warranty to exchange the SD card.
My advice : backup your SD card when you can, from time to time.
Same Thing
Same thing happenned to my card. Same default card that came with the phone. But I have SPL 1.14 which I have had for a while now. I just flashed to a Miri ROM and it started happenning. I will try reformatting to see if it helps.
did you remove the sd-card when you flashed?

I am "others" too.
I tried every hint I could find on the forum including disabeling the SD card power management and setting the PnP values higher.
Nothing works (and I have a Apacer 8GB card)
For me it narrowed down to:
1) Hardware faulty or
2) Hardware cannot "cope" with 8GB .
I've called HTC in the US - which where very friendly brw - and the lady said that most handsets are only guaranteed / tested to work with 4GB cards, Although there are other handsets in other countries who where sold with an 8GB card as a bundle.
Today I called HTC "support" centre in "New Zealand" and the phillipin/indian/nepalese customer service lady told me that my handset had been parallel imported and therefore needs to be send back to the NETHERLANDS for a diagnosis / repair!
I told her that if she would'nt give the number of their authorised repair centre in NZ I might have to think to contact Ministry for consumer law. So I got the number and I will go there now, cheking what the story is..will keep you updated.

EDIT: gurluver I think you're right! I downgraded my device now back to spl 1.14 and no problems anymore. As I am discussing this with crackwhore it seems that
1) some countries's touch hd might have a different hardware
2) however even though I have downgraded to official HTC ROM spl 1.14 (and the card is working fine then) as soon as I upgrade to offical and / or other spl 1.56 the problem appears again.
Conclusion: I have to go and (probaley argue) with HTC and see if they are willing to either fix it or send me a new device.
Will keep you posted
so to sum up, i guess i'll have to try these when i have sometime, and see what happens after each step, and only go to next step if previous step works.
- restore to Orange UK ROM SPL 1.14
- upgrade to Official WWE SPL 1.54/56
- Try another 1.54/56 ROM.
- Format the card
- Install SD tune up
I'll report back here my result.
update...
i have flashed my device several times, at least 15 times,.always using USB activesync, never thru the stotage card. I have v1.14 and I have never had a problem. After rebooting the phone a couple of times, I got my card to reappear today long enough to backup my stuff. Then I formatted the card, put it back in, loaded it up with the same files, and I havent had another problem, though its only been about 8 hours.

restore to orange UK ROM spl 1.14..and you will see that you will be sweet. After I upgraded to official SPL 1.54/56 it didnt work again..and I tried several versions (NDL; came with the phone , EUR & WWE)
I just think that its not right to be "stuck" with spl 1.14 in order to use or card...
SD Card Problem
I had this problem last night. Basically my card just disappeared from the file explorer. Could not connect it to disk drive mode or anything. Took the card out, re-inserted and the card would appear for a few seconds and then go again. Soft re-setted and it would appear for a bit then disappear.
Done a hard reset and the card still would only appear for a while until I tried to access it then it would disappear.
I eventually narrowed my problem down to something I had installed on the card which was MaxTTM. After deleting this folder from my card, it remained visible. Been working fine ever since. I didn’t have to delete my music or video files which make up around 6-7gb of my card. From now on I think I’ll install my software on the phone as opposed to memory card. My card is a 16gb Sandisk.
When the problem happened to me, first, only some directories had disapeared. Or at leat I couldn't access to them.
Even with a µSd card reader on the PC.
I formated it with the storage tool, on the HD, because the PC would'nt see it.
A week later, I couldn't access to the card anymore. Neither on the HD, nor on the PC.
I concluded that the card was destroyed.
Hopefully it was still under warranty.
I don't blame the cooked ROM I was using. Maybe the SDtuneup with some parameters I entered with Advanced config tool did the mess.
Like power management.
My first SD corruption occured when the card was almost full, and I was downloding a file with Opera. In the meantime I plugged in my PC in mass storage mode. I recognize my error. But instead of simply having a file system corruption, why did it destroyed the card ?
Because after then, the card access was longer. Perhaps the system was trying to recover some bad sectors ? I'm working in phone industry, and we do a lot of tests on these kind of use cases. So I can't beleive HTC hardware isn't that robust.
In my case, it ended with a hardware destruction. Even on other devices (with other OS/ ROM) it also failed reading.
Bad luck with a weak µSD card ?

so to sum up, i guess i'll have to try these when i have sometime, and see what happens after each step, and only go to next step if previous step works.
- restore to Orange UK ROM SPL 1.14
- upgrade to Official WWE SPL 1.54/56
- Try another 1.54/56 ROM.
- Format the card
- Install SD tune up
I'll report back here my result.

Card done these step - works fine on 1.14, breaks on Official WWE 1.54/56.
I guess any of us who have this problem should probably email HTC so they release a fix for this.

I've sent my device in for diagnosis / repair / swap . I will update you what's happened. Good Idea with writing to HTC though
I had also an old Sandisk 6 GB card and copied to it the content from 8 GB card (which came with HD). That solved my (SD disappering) problem !
