Hi guys,
I know that there was couple of similar threads around, but did not find any solution. So I am reopening this issue again.
SD card in my magician is getting formatted without any reason.
Looks like problem with FAT.... If I use some data recovery software, I can save the data from the card.
I have tried all the hints from the other threads like registry edit, format SD card in magician, etc....nothing helped.
It shoudl not be firmware problem, couse i have tried 3different ones.
Tested with different SD card and gets broken as well
Magician is fresh installed, only Tomtom and SBH pocket plus.
Anyone has any idea what could be wrong?
Thanks!

k well if you tried the search function most common problem with Fat cards is the partition gets corrupted, get some partition management software delete the current SD card partition and put a new one in (suggest you will probably need a card reader)
i do it at least once a week to keep my card spring time fresh and nice and fast.
hm...that means reformat SD card once a week? thats pain? Is it only WM3 problem or WM5 has the same issue as well? thanks
no i rebuild the partition, it just depends on what you do with ur card and how big it is.
ive got a 2 gig partition that is full of all sorts of things (also regular supply of movies and MP3) so my partition is in need of constant repair, i also use Fat32 instead of Fat16.
but from what you say i would recomend at least fixing it once and see how that goes.

Hey! I love the forum!
Anyway, about three days ago, my Wizard just decided to stop recognizing my MiniSD card. My computer can still recognize/read/write/etc. to the SD card, however.
Here is my Device Info:
Rom Version: 3.3.0.0 WWE
Rom Date: 11/10/06
Radio Version: 02.25.11
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.12
ExtROM Version: Faria V4.0
When I insert the SD card, the backlight comes on, so I know the Wizard knows it is there, but when I go to the Memory Settings, and I click on the Storage Card tab, it says it is not installed.
Thanks in advance!
Check in the File Explorer.
I have had the the Storage Card listed as Storage Card and another as Storage Card2 at the same time.
The Storage Card is a temporary folder and the real storage card is Storage Card2.
Delete Storage Card, reset and Storage Card2 becomes Storage Card and all should be well.
DO CHECK THE CONTENTS OF EACH STORAGE CARD FOLDER IF THIS HAS HAPPENED AND DELETE THE RIGHT ONE.
If this is not the case, sorry can't offer any other answer.
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately that did not work.
This is really confusing me now.
As a last resort, you could format the card, then remove the partition and let the phone try to format the card. Of course, you would loose everything in your card. I had a problem with the phone not recognizing a card that I formatted with my laptop. But there differences for your situation is that your card was working and when you stick the card in, the phone gives some indication that it knows the card is in there. For me, the phone gave no indication that a card was inserted. Like I said, this would be a last resort.
That's what my 1gb sandisk did. one day it just disappeared. if I popped it in my lappy, it read it fine. So I copied the contentd to the desktop, reformated and copied back, life was back to normal.
Thanks for the help! Reformatting did the trick
*Loves this forum*
Reformatting didn't work for me...
Hi folks... i have the same issue described above... and i did reformat my sd... but it stil doesn't work... i tried to format with fat32 and fat.... no one solved the problem. My laptop can read the card without problems... but my wizard... no signal. Any help? thanks
Should be formatted as FAT, not FAT32.
Do a scan-disk on the card and look for bad sectors. Try to repair or disable the bad sectors, and you'll get some more time on that SD card, but once the sectors start going bad, your SD card's days are numbered, and it's a small number.
Nothing yet...
Thanks for the tips, but it's stil not working... i flashed a WM5 ROM, and it recognized my microSD again... but a few soft resets later... and it's gone. Now i'm using AMP v.2, i flashed it just today, and there is no signal of any Memory card instaled... (by the way, i did format it into fat32 and made a scandisk...) Any other idea? Thanks in advance.
Did you try to let the phone format the card? When I let my laptop format the card, I could not read it in my phone. When I formatted the card in my phone, then I couldn't read it on my laptop. Weird, but true.
A way to make it work...
Well... i think i found a way to make my wizard see the SD card... but it's deffinitely not a pleasant way... Every time i hard reset my wizard, it comes back recognizing my SD... but then i have to instal everything again... About the last topic, i'm not an expert here... how can i format my sd from the pda? (hum... i think i already said... but there goes again: I'm using a G4 with AMPv.2) Thanks one more time...
Update...
A couple of soft resets... and the SD is gone again...
My wizard won't read the SD either. I formatted, disk checked and still nothing..
Whats funny is that on WM5 it worked great, once i upgraded to WM6.1,,, crapped out.
any suggestions?
thanks
Big problem...
Hello guys! It looks like sd loss is a real problem even with other devices... i did read a lot of pages about this issue, but til now i didn't find any solution that worked for me. Anyway, here goes some ideas, if it works for someone, please tell me!
Make a registry change: hklm>>>drivers>>>SDclass>>>disablepowermanagement: 0. (change this for 1, soft reset and try again...)
Any other idea? please guys, I have to make it work! My wizard is almost useless without the SD card... Thanks.
How to format it in the phone? I even cannot find a SD. Shall I start Wizard or what?
Well, I've been using my SDHC for a while. Been getting lots of memory corruptions, so I just place it in my card reader and reformat the card.
My card got corrupt again, so I thought I would upgrade to the latest ROM update, and would format the card and start again.
So I upgraded the ROM on my trinity, performed a format on my card and then stuck the card into the trinity after my ROM had been updated. Strange ... it wants to format the card, I clicked yes... then a few seconds later it reported an error (i didnt make not of it). I try reading the card from the trinitiy ... then from my PC and now I cant read the card at all.
I have tried on another PC (Windows XP on both).
I have tried WM5torage, I have tried Panason Format, I have tried Pocket Mechanic. Does anyone have any ideas? Its almost like the pocket PC cant see the card at all, and whatever the format did do to the car when it stopped, totally killed it off. Anyone with any ideas?
It's toast
Same thing happened to me.

I had an issue like that with my SDHC card. I took it to the local electronics shop and formatted it in a new SDHC compatible digital camera. Now it works again . I don't thing that it is a good idea to format an SDHC card in your Trinity.
The storage card in my phone has started vanishing. After a reset the card is visible but after a period of time it is no longer visible and can not be accessed, this period can vary from about two minutes to a couple of hours. I have performed a hard reset and that has not helped and when I tried to format the disc using Professional Mechanic I receiving a message saying that it is not possible to format the card.
Is it just that the SD card has become corrupted, if that is the case I will buy a new one?
Thanks
Michael
Try with another card, if you do not get the same problem, then it might be your card's issue. If you face the same problem with another card, I could be your phone's reader problem. I suspect is the card because you can't even format it...
Funny, on friday the same happened to me! Tried a lot, as well to save all data on my HDD, but it was not possible. Somehow several sectors are corrupt, and in the phone the SD disapears when the phone reads certain sectors, eg do a clean up scan with SkTools, or use the media player browser. Then it will be gone.
Today i did send it back to my distributor, as my one is a SanDisk, and they offer 60month of guarantee.
Good luck with your SD!
Try at first to save all Data before you try anything else! Otherwhise you might loose some data...
I have bought a new Micro SD card and everything is now working. Bought a smaller card and will see if that helps and prevents this card getting corrupted.
Well, I used mine a lot in the sd-adapter and the cardreader of the PC. And I read on the web that everyone recommends to use it only via mini-usb. Seems as if otherwhise the damage can come up. So maybe just use the mini-usb. I am so waiting for the replacement, hopefully tomorrow it will arrive!
Exactly the same problem with my Jade and a micro sd sandisk 8Go.
When soft reset it appears but if I try any operation on the sd (read, write, execute ...) it vanished.
I had the same problem friday night. On saturday I tried everything. Hard reset. Flashed a different rom... I was travelling and I didn't have an adapter for the micro SD to insert it on my notebook. When I got home I tried to copy everything from th card to my notebook and I found out some files were damaged. I formated the micro sd thought my notebook and coppied back the files that weren't damaged. After that it's been working fine!!!

EDIT : no, still the problem
DID U FORMAT THE SD? IS IT SANDISK? IF YES 2X REPLACE IT ia warranty...
Yes it is a sandisk 8Go.
I just bought a card reader and format on the PC (I was not able to format with all the softs I have tried on the Jade). Everything seems fine.
I've got the same problem. I've been using a Sandisk 16Gb for 8 months in my Jade without any problems until I updated the ROM with the new official ROM from HTC!
HTC were very unhelpful. All they would say is that the Jade can only use up to 4Gb cards. I tried to recover the data, via the USB as it showed up as empty if put in a reader. Tried formatting it but the standard XP tool wouldn't work so downloaded a formatting tool which worked.
It has worked fine for about a month, now its doing it again. I haven't tried a different card but I'm sure its not coincidence that it only started doing this after updating the ROM.
Is there any way to get the original ROM back. I know elsewhere on this site there are loads of ROM's available for flashing but I'm not ready to go down this route just yet. Does it need HSPL to put an original ROM back on?
Thanks,
Woolly.
i got 8gb memory card with my hd phone,it's 2 months old.suddenly memory card dosen't work on my phone. file manager does not show memory card even my phone shows the message 'install storage card'. now i am really worried,it seems like a big problem.i tried to another memory card but still shows the same issue.
plz suggest me how to get rid of it?.what to do now...............? .
same here..
for 6 months i hadnt got any problem.. but now the phone isnt recognizing the storage card
Use one of these to format your SD-card again:
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/
http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/index.html
I want to format it.. but I want to back up it first because I have a lot of things that I dont want to lose.. But even my pc, doesnt shows me the storage card.. doesnt recognize it, to back up it..
please help..
If even card reader on PC can't recognize contents of SD, you can probably throw away that SD...
But, for last chance, try to read it with SD reader which came with SD card (if that was a case) or on another PC...
I will try my SD card in another phone... i havent SD reader.. I havent done anything to my phone.. It was ok, when I woke up and my phone didnt recognize my SD..
I heard about a program called restoration.. search for this..
maybe this can help me?.. format my SD, and then restore my things on SD again?
sooner or later all sdcards die be sure to backup important data from your sdcard to your computer once in awhile
My experience....
I see a number of comments about this problem in the Touch HD so I will share my experiences.
My HD quit recognizing the memory card some time ago. Occasionally I could re-install a ROM and get it to function briefly. As soon as I installed programs on the card, the links would disappear and the card would become unreadable. I tried different cards, I tried new cards, I formatted the card on my PC, I ran task29 to clean ROM memory prior to installing a new ROM and I I tried the stock HTC ROM. The micro SD cards are always perfectly functional and readable on my PC and on other devices including a friend's Touch HD.
After all of this, I gave up and I now use the HD without a memory card. I have become very frugal with memory useage!
If anyone discovers a fix for this malady, your solution would be greatly appreciated.
I searched.. and the only I found is that we have, as soon as we get our new SD card, to do a FAT32.. so it will not have a lot of problemss
If the card is formatted correctly, and is recognisable in a PC and other devices, then it's more than likely to be a hardware issue.
I know, because one of my devices is also broken exactly like this. It's likely the SIM/SD Comboboard, but I've never found a supplier for spares . . anyone know of anywhere?
Hello guys,
Same problem with touch hd. tried everything mentioned. task29, different roms, other sd-cards, reformatting etc... still no luck!
hope someone is going to find a solution soon!

disapearing micro SD
I also had the same problem some time ago when connecting to pc through USB opting for disc drive connection and not using the sync button, then solved the problem when I flashed a new ROM.
Regards,
I also have this problem.
I've had the 8GB SD Card for about a year now and untill now, its always worked without a problem.
I installed a Topix Rom this weekend. I also installed most of my programs to the storage card.
Within a day it was dropping in and out. I am able to see the card, but not run any mp3's off it.
When the card drops out, I can either take the card out and reinsert it or restart the phone and the card is visible again. It still cant play mp3s or videos though.
Anyone else having this problem since they've installed a new Rom?
Hello I'm new here, I couldn't find what i was looking for so hear i go...My sd card is not working either after about 1 year just stopped working the phone says it is not installed so is it possible to reinstall it? Thanks...
Quick update...
I tried formatting the sd card & it worked. Thanks people

same as you
Spares for hardware fault
Just to add, as I said previously about my device, the SDCard reader was faulty, and HTC Europe refused to supply the part without a HTC Service Centre repair.
For anyone else having hardware issues, I managed to source the part from China, and now it's working perfectly again after a simple repair.
Here's the link; http://cnn.cn/shop/touch-simmicrousb-card-module-p-7149.html
I searched the forum, Google and whatnot. But no solution seemed to help me with this problem. About a week ago my MicroSD card dissappeard on my Touch HD. I removed the SD card, put it back in and it was there again. The next day, it happened to me again. I tried to do the same as I did before, but this wouldn't help.
I have changed the registry according to this page right here, but that didn't help either.
Now thinking it was a ROM problem, I upgraded to Miri's v15 and the problem is still there. Then again I changed the registry values. But my SD Card is still missing. Does this mean my SD card is broken? Or does anybody have an other solution that might work?
Thanks in advance!

Formatage sd Doit Etre Suffisant (FAT 32)
Seems your SD card is broken, the same happend to me some time back.
I'm not sure if you understood the non English post above, but it seems they are suggesting the same as I'm about to.
Try to format your sd card on your pc using a card reader. Format it to FAT32. If you are lucky you may still be able to retrieve the data off of it via the pc, if so back it up to your pc, format the card and then you can transfer the data back.
It does sound like those above have suggested. You'll need to format your SD Card. Make sure you backup whatever files you have on it first
I recognize the problem, I've also had this, first check your sd card for the problem, those things are very fragile...
android
Hi, thbis happend to me when i was testing android, I lst all my data but was able to repair it and get it working intermittently by reformatting it. It turned out to be the shelby ROM I was using as when I reflashed with a different ROM the problem went away, it may have been android that corrupted the driver or something but starting from scratch with a new rom and reformatted card worked for me.
Thanks for your support. Today I formatted my MicroSD card with a Nokia phone. This phone recognized my SD Card AND all of the files that where on there. Replacing my SD card with the one in the Nokia gave me the same problem. My Touch HD wouldn't recognize the SD Card. So I guess it's a problem with my Touch HD then?
Knowing that the registry edit didn't work, what else can I try? Don't really feel like flashing to a stock rom and sending it to HTC...
*bump* anyone ? My MicroSD card still isn't working
You checked for bent pins or some form of obstruction in the microsd slot? If you tried another card and same problem then it's going to be the device somehow.
I did a hard reset on my Touch HD. It works.
