SD Card Read Problem

Thanks to a power failure (quite often occurence here) I am left with an XDA that did not complete a ROM update and it is stuck in limbo.
Ive created the nb1 on SD card as prescribed many times over on this forum using xdarit. my xda does just not seem to detect it. Maybe it needs to be in before i switch it on or ..?
My wallaby bootloader is 5.15.
Advice is appreciated. I'd just finished fixing a GSM Error problem which basically crippled the XDA performance wise (dust collector) and then this happened !
Damn :\
Incidently I run the diagnostics for the SD Card Test and it just sits there saying start test... again not too sure what to do there.
Thanks again
Michael

how you sd upgrade your xda

Thanks for your reply Rudegar
The post link u sent me was actually one of the many ''how-to's''i went through and still no luck.
I re-tried this one just in case im a cluster but no, didn't work.
When i turn the xda on and into the bootloader (soft reset and power buttons) i donot get the SD DOWNLOAD screen. it just waits for me to press whatever to get into GSM check, diagnostics or whatever.
Incidently my sd card is a sandisk 256. the card works fine with my qtek 7070 and nike mp3 player (for file storage).
I use xdarit 1 as everytime i try 1.2 i get errors.
Thanks again for your reply. Any otehr advice anyone?
Thanks
Michael

can your sdreader for your pc read the card ?
if it can then you dident flash the rom right to the sdcard
you have to use xdatools you cant just copy the nbf file to it
if it can be read by an sdreader and i think a 7070 then it's
not a card you can use to update your device

Wires Crossed :\
Sorry _ What I was trying to say (not very well) is that teh sd cards work fine when used as storage in my 7070 and mp3 player. never used an sd card in the xda before so i cant comment on that.
i use xdarit for the sd card creation and no the pc card reader cant see wots on the sd card when ive done that. ive never had any success with xdatools to be honest :/
Thanks again
Michael

sorry dident see you used xdarit
never tried it as it were replaced with OSImageTOOL in xdatools
which i never had any issues with

i made the scard this time with osimagetool and still no cigar
damn this is bad

256 MB SD card problem
MAB,
I had similar problem with my XDA and I have 64 MMC which worked to get the 5.17 bootloader patch loaded but would not work with the nbf1 file. I borrowed 64 MB SD Panasonic card and I could loaded but my problem was eventually solved by taking it to the Melbourne based ACCS tel 03 9348 5555 for only $45.
If you wish to persist on your on I think some people here reported problems with 256MB cards so you may need to organise one of the 64MB cards.
Good luck

Thanks for that. One thing I haven't tried yet is getting hold of another SD Card. I had read there were problems with the 256 ones on this forum so I will get onto that and give it a rip.
Failing that what's ACCS stand for then?
Thanks All
Michael

The file X cannot be opened.... Not signed.... ARGH!

Hey all,
I've searched through this as much as I could, and found a few things, but nothing that's ident.
My problem occurs even after a clean hard reset, and has only happened since the latest ROM update, so if anyone else has it please can you say if you get this problem... or don't...
Basically, my T-Mobile Pro will work fine for a while, but then I go to it any time after 10 mins of being clammed, and with virtually everything I try to load it comes up with an error dialog saying:
"The file 'X' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of tis components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file."
But this is with EVERYTHING, HTCMesages.exe, HTCCalender.exe, Contacts.exe, TomTom Navigator.exe...... EVERYTHING, ARGH!
The only way to sort it is soft reset, and then everythings okay, for a while anyway... till all of a sudden.....
The only things I've got on apart from the standard T-Mobile ROM is TomTom Navigator 5.21 and PocketBreeze 5. But I'm sure it's nowt to do with either of those...
Please someone, anyone,,, HELP :-/

ARGH! Just after I posted before I hard reset and got it going again.... until now.... :evil: :evil:

1st: Do you use a SD Card? If YES, does the file you try to open in the SD card. Try using a different SD card and see if you still get the same Error Message.
2nd: Do you use WM5torage or Softick's SD Card reader? If YES to either of them, you might have set them on "ACTIVATE" mode then of course you will get the Error message if you try to launch any application on the card while using any of them because you gave the control to your computer to read the card instead. The solution is to keep then on INACTIVE state while using the apps or install them in the Internal Memory rather than the card.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately it's not the SD Card, its core windows mobile applications aswell, like the contacts and messags.
I think it might have been to do with the ROM I was using, I was using T-Mobile's latest (still pretty jurassic though) but switched to the iMate one, and no problems now :-D
Surprised if it is the ROM though, as thought others would have got the error :-/

Here is the solution. I have a Samsung mobile phone and got this error after I installed Samsung's standard multimedia player "Touch Player" into My storage. Then I uninstalled it and re-installed into main storage and it works now.

4 gb Card Trouble

I am having some trouble with my 4gb card in my XV6800. I have had it since January and been happily adding things to it and deleting them at will. Now I am having a problem with it however. I can add things to it through My Computer etc on windows and it shows up fine. But after a few hours when I go back into it on File Explorer on the phone any changes I have made are not in effect.
This includes both things that I added that are not there, and things that I have deleted that re-appear. Any ideas? It is not helping my wanting to install cabs and set up my UC config as you can imagine.
I know that they are transferring at some point because I m,anaged to install a cab from there last night, this morning, the original cab and folder is gone.

I'd suggest backing up everything currently on the card first, then formatting it using a card reader. Once the format completes, restore your files and see if your problems still exist.
P.S. Any microsd card <= 2gb will work for flashing. Anything > 2gb won't.

I agree with this... backup your storage card, and format it using software on your device such as CNETX FlashFormat... that seemed to do the trick when I was having issues related to the Storage Card

I was getting the error" file protected". I did lots of research, tried to format it in both my phone and laptop to no avail. I used diffrent software,nothing gave. Some people claim that putting clear tape on the SD adapter lock did the trick for them. Anyway, I contacted SD as my last resort,got an RMA and now I am awaiting a replacement. I did a back up and transferred all to 1 GB that I had as a back up.
FYI
I used SD Formatter V2.O and Hard disk Wipe tool (hddguru.com) , Format claimed to be successful but data was always there. This started after I installed TOMTOM maps on the card. Good luck man

there is a cab to enable sd cards over 2GB for the titan
i suggest some searching, if i come across it ill post the link

I have Tom Tom on my card, but then I have done from the start and I have only had the problems pretty recently. My computer wont read the card in the built in card reader in my computer, but it reads the new 1gb one fine.
Also, the phone does recognize it because I can play music off it, I just cannot add files to it or delete from it.
I have tried to format it with CNETX FlashFormat and it doesn't seem to work, everything is still on there as before.
Very annoying, I am going to contact SanDisk

Good idea man, it sounds like you have the same prob I do. Try putting tape on the protection switch on the adapter. It didn't work for me but who knows!

SD card is full or missing when in "Documents" tab

When I'm on "Documents" tab it says - "SD card is full or missing"
Any way around it ?

Come on ... nobody has this problem ?!!!

I had that problem too and I wish I could give you a way to fix it, but I had to perform a hard reset after WMWifiRouter screwed my WiFi up. Your post reminded me about the problem with the documents tab and I just checked it... turns out the hard reset also fixed this issue for me.
I'll let you know if it comes back and we can work out a fix that doesn't involve resetting everything on the phone.

I actually performed hard reset (because of a different issue). Unfortunately it did not fix Documents tab problem

are you using a ram disk at all? that is known to mess with the docs tab.

hmm no clue then, sorry. Think if it were me i'd try copy off all the files and folders onto the pc then format the sd card and copy everything back, just to see.

Did you remove the original SD card that came with it? Or, replace it with another one? I know it's in the manual that once you do it, the SD card may not work anymore, or something like that. Maybe that's the cause, I'm just guessing since I don't have this kind of problem.

microSD card came with T-Mobile Hd2 (US version) already inserted. Did not touch it

I have this problem too with my Touch HD.
I can't read my documents. It says: "SD card is full or missing".
Any help. Please...

I've fixed this problem

Did exactly same thing but it did not fix it for me

Format worked for me, although I'm pretty sure the SD card was fine, and was gonna compare the pre-format files to post-format and see if I accidentally deleted anything that would cause this. Was in a hurry though, and never ended up comparing.
Formatted(full) SD card on PC, then put in phone and formatted there to get the stock files back on. Then copied everything else over (TF movies, and my downloads, etc..). Worked fine after that.

Hi
I had the same problem and quicikly solved this issue:
Go to: \Carte de stockage or Storage card\Application Data\HTC\databases\DocExp
And delete 2 files: postlist.DB & value.DB
It worked for me, hope the same for you

Installing a network plugin caused the issue on mine, when I unistalled it worked again

mdean, do you happen to have the name or the cab handy, so I can take a peek at it for a possible connection to the cause? Thanks!

I tried 3 different ones, all caused the problem - generic network plugin, htc network plugin, and schnaps network plugin

SD Card is full or Missing - SOLVED
1. Delete the folder - Storage card\Application Data
2. Tab again the document tab - wait re-loading until finish searching all documents
3. Successful!

thanks dude i was having the same problem, when i enabled shared network folder in touch tool, it stop working but i went back and disabled it and now working again.

Glad you all figured it out... I had this problem 3 weeks ago and immediately after enabling and setting up the network plugin with Touch Tools 1.4. Luckily, I didn't have to look for the cause since the last thing I did was install & use the network plugin!
So, for future reference.........
Also, your facebook pictures in htc album's facebook tab will stop showing up if you manually assign a "CacheSize" value other than 0 to HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS.
Be advised!

16gb Micro Sd wont delete or add Items but I can open files but cant format the sd?

So I have this Issue I found my 16gb HD2(I no longer have the hd2) that's I guess corrupted I can view the files move them to my desktop but I cant format the SD, I tried my Nexus One, digital camera, Windows 7, Macbook,ubuntu, mini partition tool and testdisk with no results. I remember this issue happen when I tried to run android through SD maybe you guys know why. thanks

Some sd cards especially ones that have been bought on ebay or overseas have a memory hack in them. What happens is the sd card shows 16gb but in reality it may only have 6-10gb. The hack provides the sd card to show more space then is actually there. You can use it just fine with no problems at all but once you go over the actual memory it really has & not just shows you then get a slew of corrupted files on your sd card leaving it almost useless. This is only 1 example, others causes could be if you take an ad card out while you transferring files to it. In the end there is little you can do and what I would of suggested you've already tried. (minitool) this has helped me fix a card that I was transferring files when my power went out. This will probably not help but have you tried different ports on your computer? What happened when it was in you nexus?

Yeah I learn this lesson on my chinese 32gb lol but on my 16gb sd was actually the one that came with the hd2 so I know for a fact is legit. everytime I put it on my N1 it tries to format it and then a message pops out saying card unmounted. I also tried my good old nokia n82 which usually Nokias are really good at formatting corrupted cards it doesn't give me the choice of formatting the card. Im wondering of their some type of lock on the sd card.

there is a really small lock on the front of a sd card but none that i know of on a micro sd. did you use the minitool partition wizard or the data recovery program? if you only used the partitioning wizard i would try the minitool data recovery program found here.

Running mini tool this is what I get it wont fix it though https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/3-oc0r_Bbv5qrYncR3IzCZaCRbbB6vENK-AyJ2O_CkI?feat=directlink

running minitool data or minitool partitioner? it looks like minitool data if i remember correctly. yeah, it says "minitool found errors on disk but will not fix them because diskcheck was run without fix parameters." i would try it again but select "check and fix detected errors" see if that helps. if it dont help then i would suggest to wait for advise from someone a little more knowledgeable about this.

what about good ol' Check Disk from Windows Explorer?

Another program is SD Formatter 3.0.
Try it and play with the options.

SD formatter is pretty good i must say. Here is another one that might be of some use. I have a corrupted flash drive around somewhere so i'll try and find that. maybe I can play around with it to see what might work and report back. I would also take a look at this link as it provides some very useful information about sd cards. you can find that here, please make sure you read the section on "Formatting is required". This will explain why you may be running into problems along with what the cause might be.

Yea the same thing happened to me with my 8 gig card, i even tried formatting it at best buy and with a camera and still wouldn't format. So i just had to buy a new one.
