floyd007,
Funny you should mention that. I have a Sandisc 1G card and when I try to do any removal or adding to when its in my card reader it says the same media is write protected when I know that it isnt. When I stick er in my Jam its fine, Whats Up! :shock:
I´ll send you mine and get yours?
perhaps we should try a special format solution but wich one?

If it is an sd card and the write protect is in the off position, then try sticking a piece of tape over the gap where the switch is on the card to completely cover it.
thanks cruisin,
I tried this, but no success!
tried new card export II to simulate storage mass - no success!
I think I must send the magician to service!
I had the same trouble with my Compact and it was solved after removing ActiveSync

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

All best,

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.
Hi to all i have this problem and i wanted to share with people hear thinking that maybe someone will be able to help me with his advice.I have an T-MOBILE MDA PRO withe q-teq rom and my problem is that when i insert a SD card its reading from the SD card but i cant write to it.because it was new i tried to format it withe FLASH FORMAT and its saying that its write protected but when i put it to my digital camera it is formating and writing and reading too so does anyone know what could be the problem?

I did what you said but again nothing happens.The sd card is working normally in
my digital camera.Is it possible to be from the MDA PRO or a program thing?I was thinking to upgrade my rom.
Fixed the problem of the sd card i opened the mda there were two pins in the sd holder that weren't touching each other i touchet them and now its ok.
I believe that the power totally drained on my 8525.
It seems that all of the INSTALLED programs that I elected to install on the storage card are now gone.
Programs installed directly to the device are still there, but anything that I installed and selected "Storage Card" rather than device during install are gone. Their directories and everything else that I later copied into those directories are gone.
Stuff that I drectly copied over to the storage card (rather than installing), seem to be gone as well, though the parent directories are there.
In the Windows Start menu there are only generic icons left for those programs. A bunch were free, but there were a few registered apps that are gone as well. Apps the the previous owner had bought, and so I don't have the reg keys for (hopefully reinstalling will work on some of them if the registration data is in the registry and the new install doesn't overwrite it).
Unfortunately I have only had the phone for about 2 weeks and was still tweaking it to get it where I like, so I had not yet backed-up my storage card...
I thought that WM5 had persistent storage? I have powered the device down in the past and had no problems.
Anyone know what might have caused this (other than a possibly defective storage card...)?
Thanks,
Brain21
What firmware are you running? I've seen this problem on my JASJAM when running the latest AKU3.3 WWE ROM from HTC (and there's a solution to this problem - use the search). Can't recall ever seeing this problem appear with i-mate's latest AKU2.3 ROM.
Strange, never heard of an SD card loosing stuff because of the device losing power. May be worth pulling the card out and checking it with a card reader on your PC. See if your files are there or not, then reformat the card just to be sure its ok maybe?
It's the standard Cingular shipping ROM I *believe*:
ROM Version: 1.34.502.1
ROM Date: 9/21/06
Radio Version: 1.16.00.00
Protocol Version: 32.53.7018.01H
It's a HERM100
The only thing I ever did as far as that stuff goes was upgrade the radio version to the one above while I was unlocking the phone (I am on T-Mobile)
Unfortuately I don't currently have a reader for my PC that accepts Micro SD Cards. I need to get one of those SD adapters or something...

If you haven't already I would soft reset and then hook up active sync and use the explore facility to go to the card a see what's there.
I have seen things come back after a soft reset and / or taking card out and in.

That's pretty much the first thing I did. Soft reset & connect. Power off, pull out card, reinsert, power on, reconnect. Same thing every time. :-(
And just to clarify on my post above, I SIM unlocked the phone. I have NOT CID Unlocked the phone.
You might try checking the SdCard with Pocket Mechanic. Run Scandisk from Pocket Mechanic
http://www.wizcode.com/
Losing power would not have had anything to with losing data on sdcard. Even in the old days, when power was lost, the main memory was affected not the SdCard
Does anything show up on the SdCard?
Pocket Mechanic is a nice app and has a free trial.
