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.

Just checking to see which people have had sd card erasures with which ROM.
I have had sd card erasures with 4.00.05.
I have had erasures on the 4.00.05 and 4.00.10 ROMs. So far (knock on wood) I haven't had any problems with the 4.00.16.
That being said, it seems like when it is about to erase your card, everthing gets really slow and it stops responding. I've had that start to happen once or twice under the new rom, but I've popped out the card and done a soft reset. Put the card back in after that and all is well.
I am not sure if it really was getting ready to self destruct, but it was slowing down.
Had no problems under 4.00.05 and 4.00.10 This morning my sd card was erased under 4.00.16 Have just restored my data and locked the damn sd card.
SD Erasure
I have had mine erase under 4.00.5 but so far so good under 4.00.11.
Just idea: Is anybody have "spontaneous SD erasure" problem wit NO SUNDISK SDs ?
:wink:
I had "spontaneous SD erasure" with Panasonic SD
ROM v. 4.00.05 :twisted:
And since moment upgraded ROM 4.00.16 not yet :roll:
SD Erasure
It's gone again for me....under 4.0.11 this time....am going to try swapping from a 256 card to 128 today to see if it makes a difference....Any else had any revelations as to what's causing it?
SD Erasure
Same problem today with Sandisk 128 meg SD Card.
Hmmm..its strange.
I never have a problem with any of the 1.2 4.05 and 4.11 roms.
Being a 32MB unit I have virtually no prog installed in main memory but the kitchen 4.11 is fully packed until 2k remaining.
Could it be one of the programs in your machine?
Try not installing any.
Anyone else with no problem? Please speak up.

128MB MMC Card (MMC Association)
FYI, I've been running rom version 4.00.16 (plain vanilla version, no rom kitchen additions), with a minimal number of programs installed for a couple weeks now. No SD losses yet. I am thinking there must still be some software that's not compatible with WM 2003 that's causing the problems for people.
Another problem - can't format any card under WM2003... I thought that it was caused by FlashFormat (I thought it's not compatible with WM2003). But with the new version of FlashFormat for WM2003 the same problem... Has anyone this problem too?
Hmmm can't say that I've actually tried to format a card under 2003. I always use my card reader for that.
Today I have "spontaneous SD erasure" with Panasonic SD 256MB

Who can find this bug???
Are you a hero :?:
Waiting for Developers :wink: or somebody :?:
Thank,
Yesterday again... And today again! That's impossible! But I've found something that may be interresting. So I have a question - do you remember if you have performed a soft reset at the day the card was erasured?
Because - I have... And it looked like the system boot last longer before I found the card is erasured...
What about the others?
QUESTION FOR VAN:
------------------------
Do you have a plain version like GregP74 or you have cooked your own in the kitchen?
from the J. kitchen
10 days no problem :shock:
Today try to upgrade clean ROM 4.00.16 but kitchen is not working now :?: :?: :?:
Hm, I want to detect where the problem can be... Can all of us build a list of apps you have included to your ROMs?
Maybe some application is not really fully cpmpatible with WM2003, as someone said...
Thank you
@wuffi
Maybe you are right
I made last soft reset and It seems little bit longer than normal
I had "spontaneous SD erasure" with Toshiba SD
ROM v. 4.00.11 (7-10 days after ROM upgrade).
Hi
I upgraded to Qtek's ROM build 3.18.04 ENG today, and got this new message when I inserted an SD Card :
PC card detected
WARNING: Battery power may not be sufficient to run your PC card. Some PC cards, such as modem cards, require AC power.
Do you want to use this PC card on battery power?
(Yes) (No)
Since this is not the first time I'm using an SD card on a Qtek and havent come across this message before I wonder if there is any added functionality in the new rom? Not sure if I/O support is hardware dependent or purely software driven - if it is the latter, could this new rom have additional functionality on the card slot ????
Sand
Hi sandyind,
My Qtek is originally loaded with this version, and it never displayed this message upon inserting SD card. Are you sure you got the original ROM ?
ROM Version
I downloaded my ROM from this site:
http://www.carrierdevices.com.au/downloads/asiapacific.htm
This is not a circulated / worked-upon rom image...
Sand
Got the same message with some original O2 Roms and other cooked Roms.
Can´t tell you, why this message sometimes appears, but i think it´s normal and have nothing to do with card erasures or new features.

I'm aware that this is not realy new subject but reading the forum for last two days did not unswered all my questions and Im a newbie so please dont shoot.
I'm assuming that the my xda site before providing the current upgrade to the OS and radio stack they had tested all these and it should be safe to upgrade as with other softeware. Well I was wrong.
The Program A upgrade went OK but when I almost completed loading Program B I got the screen as I would switiched the phone ON and I was asked for my password. I entered my old passward which was not reconginsed two times after which the device rebooted shownig only top bar and keyboard on the bottom right hand corner. I went ot Telstra to check if this is due to my SIM card got freyed but they changed my SIM card to a new only because they have more up to date with lower Voltage requirement and this did not change a thing.
I've tryed Walloby bootloader but after while it displays "GSM ERROR".
I've tryed the power buuton+directional button+ soft reset which gets me to the 4 options
CE ROM TO SD
BOOT TO SD
CE+BOOT TO SD
GSM ROM TO SD
But when I select any of these using the directional button I get that the Card key has failed (I have 64MB MMC card that I bought some time ago and I have or had quite a lot of staff on it). I wander if all this is still t=here as my card reader/writer is asking to insert the card which is already there. I would not mind to get to my old software which had problems but was working or anything to get XDA back on line.
Please help I can not work without my XDA.
New Radio Stack and Telstra + Bootloader
I am running the latest O2 radio stack 4.21 on telstra fine. I used the O2 installation file off their site letting it do the Radio Stack and the O/S. Then I later upgraded the O/S using the SD method, and the Siemens SX56 AT&T branded WM2003 rom image.
With regards to getting yours back up and running - have you tried the "bootloaderfix.bat" file in XDAtools? (make sure you are conencted via activesync when you run it - and dont panic if you see an error message)
Also - you can use XDAtools to copy the Radio Stack image or new ROM image directly to your MMC card. Once bootloaderfix.bat has fixed yor boot loader to 5.15 ust whack in the MMC card with the image - run the bootloader and it will detect the new Image and ask you if you want to install (calls it download) it off the card.
Hope that helps. I spent about 6 hours researching all the above - hope to save some others the time
New Radio Stack and Telstra + Bootloader
Thanks Janos,
I will try the SD method but I have a problem with your suggestion as my Actvesync presently is not recognising XDA. I hope that XDAtools will help.
Would you suggest to use the original or XDAtools -Jeff.exe?
Regards

i can't radio rom in ur sd but u can copy repair.zip to sd ........... no way to upgrade radio via sd u must us pc monitor ans Rs232 ......... what's hell that mean ?......... use repair.zip .........guy
Hi all,
From my experience, and reading through this forum through long time, when you have "GSM Error" on the bootloader screen, don't try to go any further unless you are expert in soldering and you have a Jtag ship interface. The RSU part controls the ROM and the charging circuet, so it's better to get it repaired by a qualified person.

Hi everyone,
am deperately needing your advice!!!
Just yesterday I rechieved an exchange mdac from tmobile showing serial version v1.02 when put in bootloader mode(previously v1.01).
When trying to flash whatever rom once transferred via ntrw to my sd card, my mdac does simply nothing but stay in bootloader showing serial v1.02. No flashing like in my old one starts.
On removing the sd card it comes out freshly formatted, before it definately was formatted with raw as usual once working with ntrw.
Result : I can not upgrade my system to mksbigstorage or any other rom like i could with my" old one". (same sd card!!!)
Tried downgrading to an older rom version via original upgrade routine and from there flashing via sd card: same problem!, tried other sd card: no solution either!
Any ideas, solutions, people with the same problems?
:?:
Appreciate your help
Thanx
romflashing
Seems to have nothing to do with flashing routine.
Card simply gets formatted once inserted.
Any way to stop this?
Hi! I have had many problems after flashing and re-flashing my rom.
Try boot loader mode and USB then execute (from your PC)MaupgradeUT_noid with a Shipped_rom on XDA ftp. It may work.
Have a look at this link: http://www.mtekk.com.au/forums/viewtopic.php?p=32876

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:

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.
