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?

Hi,

Hi,
The same problem here with my SanDisk 1GB
What's wrong with this phone ?
These are my numbers:
IPL 1.08.0001
SPL 1.08.0001

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

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.
Does anyone have a SHDC to try on BA?

SDHC card patch (Freeware)
Requirements: Windows Mobile 6 PocketPC (not yet tested with other WindowsMobile version)
Overview: Patch for PPC running WM6 for reading 2,4,8 GB SDC cards. This patch allows you to use 2,4,8 GB SDHC cards in your WM6 PPC.
What is SDHC?
SD High Capacity (SDHC) card is the new SD™ memory card based on the SDA
2.00 specification, introduced by the SD Card Association. This new SDA 2.00
specification enables SD cards to reach higher capacities - 4GB-32GB*.
Because SDHC works differently then standard SD cards, this new format is not
backwards compatible with legacy SD format host devices.
More SDHC compatible devices are expected to be available in the second half of 2006.
To ensure compatibility, look for the SDHC logo on cards and host devices (cameras,
camcorders, etc.)
Compatibility with SDHC 4GB:
4GB SDHC cards can only work with SDHC compatible host
devices. To ensure compatibility, look for the SDHC logo on
the packaging. Please check with your device manufacturer
for their current/future supported SDHC devices.
Tested on Loox n520 and working
It doesn't work on BA.
first you must copy paste the two dlls, then install the certs.cab, then the sdhc.cab.
Have you done this?

Have you try it?
I tried 2 months ago but no luck on BA
Would try it if I can (if I have a SHDC card), here's the readme.txt:
SDHC Driver
1) Install SDHC.cab
2) Overwrite /Windows sdbus.dll sdmemory.dll
3) Install Certs.cab
Soft reset.
isn't working on BA; i try to find a sdbus.dll in our Windows to compare with the new one, but all we have is SDBusDriver.dll
Another person googled sth on the internet and posting without checking? How many times we will have threads like this one?
really, you can check it on your own: all you get at the end is loosing access to the card (SDHC and nonHC).
So please, give us all a break - I've seen this at least 10 times on different BA forums.
Mate,
I've just found the sdbus.dll (as well as sdmemory.dll), in my O2 XDA Orbit with a factory-installed WM6. All I did was to use Resco Explorer 2007 to search for it in My Device\Windows and they are there.
That said, this is as far as I can take it 'cos they say it's not Artemis-specific. I agree, it's best to wait for the gurus to come up with a CAB. That way, we'd know for sure that it would work.

So if you talking about artemis, what the hell it has to do with BlueAngel???
Hey,
WM6 is WM6, right?
The patch is for ANY device running Windows Mobile 6. I mean any - read the posting on this. We are not talking about iPhone vs Blue Angel which run on totally different operating systems.
Other than operator specific settings, I didn't think that the sdbus.dll and sdmemory.dll in the devices running WM6 (in this case), would be different from one another, or would they?
If they were, why is it that other devices running WM6, such as Eten, Loox, Artemis, etc have had their owners report that they had successfully installed the SDHC patch and that they are now able to use microSDHC cards?
So there, that's what it's got to do with Blue Angel. Different devices but they both run WM6 in this instance.
kiwi992.
The problem is that BlueAngel is a totally different device, that was never planned to work with WM5/6 and what we have here (WM5/6 ROMs) are effect of very hard work of developers such as Helmi, Xplode and Baniaczek (and others), to use half working leaked version of WM5 rom on BA to provide us with usable WM5 and WM6. Still most drivers are specific to BA, because of very... specific contruction of the device and most drivers not wrtitten especially for BA won't work - we know this already. For WM6 we have the old WM5 driver that had been bolted on (using hammer) in WM6, to provide us with SD support. You cannot just exchange it like this.
Knowing this and reading every 2 weeks information "I have it! I have IT! please check this out, and abracadabra SDHC will work finally" that is posted here and there without even testing... it just like some noobs asking all over again about "my device is turning on every 5 minutes when i have Bluetooth turned on".
So I just I ask, no... I BEG you - please test it on your own before posting again some news wbout SDHC support for BA. If don't have SDHC card, "update" your driver and try to read normal SD.
I know this is doable, but it cannot be just some files copied from different device - somebody will have to still the source code from HTC or disassemble the driver and modify it. Really - it's not so easy.
PS: your font has some problems - did you enlarge it on purpose?
Hi Mr_ding you said tahat you have Tested on Loox n520 and works.but is there any problem with the wifi conection after that. I read in other post that on Loox N560 this was a very big problem, I have a N560 so in case a install the patch will I have the same problem?

On some of the new universal wm6 roms incorporating the sdhc card drivers, I noticed that if you set the driver to sdhc/sd, your normal sd will not be seen until you set it to sd and reboot. Maybe that is what is happening. That when we install the sdhc driver it overwrites the normal sd driver and the new driver cannot read the normal sd. May be we need to have a way of switching between the two drivers. Has anyone actuall tested an sdhc card after installing the sdhc driver?
Sorry for my English. I made some tests with sdhc drivers from universal but with no success. I also can't find valid driver for PXA 26x. I know that exist drivers for PXA 27x ,but this drivers simple not working on our BA.
Is there anything peculiar to the PXA 26x processor that makes it significantly different from the PXA 27x architecture?
I have Pocket ScummVM and Pocket UAE on an SD (not SDHC) card, and up until two days ago they both ran fine, yesterday i upgraded my radio stack and now whenever i run either of these apps they stick in the loading state and i have to soft reset to terminate them. I can still run Sim City 2000 from the SD card so i'm wandering if it's some kind of transfer bottleneck/issue.
radio: latest (1.18)
rom: latest tomal WM 6.1
will try copying everything off the card, reformatting and copying it back, see if that helps

Try to reinstall the apps
seems to be general issues, last night adobe flash claimed to be out of memory, when there should be plenty, so i'm wandering if it's a RAM issue and nothing to so with the SD card or apps specifically. The Tomal rom includes a flash disk which s taking up 16mb can i turn that off somehow?
cycloid, the flash disk doesn't take up 16mb.
please read wiki Memory and Storage Types
so many people seem to make this same mistake
either the cook is very nice and gives you a flash disk, or you don't have one, and that memory is lost to you completely
thanks for pointing me at that info, ramdisk is actually quite cunning then!. I still suspect i have a ram or general memory marshalling issue, hmm..
fixed kinda. I had the 9.6 tomal rom, put 8.81 on it and all is good.
Hello folks,
I figured I would go to the experts to get an answer to my question.
On my universal I was running Windows Mobile 6.1, I didn't really like it as the phone was unstable, so I downgraded to Tmobile Windows Mobile 5 (which is what ships on the phone) everything is running smooth (Shout out to SPB Shell 3.0 AWESOME!!!)
anyways after the downgrade which went through without incident, my SD card reader does not SD cards, I know it is not hardware because it worked fine when the device was running WM6.1.
Anyome have any ideas as to what happened?
the device simply does not recognize any size, 32MB all the way to 2GB.
I have searched and found nothing.
Anyone have an updated driver for the SDCard reader?
I have extRom installed so I can put whatever I want into EXTRom and have it install.
Crapgame
It's because native WM5 can't use SDHC (SD cards are only up to 2GB). I think you can simply install SD settings by OllieD - where you can change to Type 1 or 2. Sorry unless someone else can help, you'll have to search for it.
I think i have the same issue.
The device sometimes see the card when set to standard SD or SDHC Type-I but it's really inconsistent.
Driving me nuts.
I had a similar problem, i had to eject and reinsert the card multiple times to get it to see it. The card SEEMED fine because it would work in my pc (via usb adapter)) and digital camera with no problems. But when i tried the one from the camera in the universal it worked fine, absolutely no problems.
So I bought a new sandisk one from ebay and all has been fine since, seems like it was being picky about the original SD!
i think, the sd card is formatted fat16
you formatted with "Haret"?
Haret?
Sorry for the noob question, but what do you mean?
I have tried formatting the card fat16, fat32, NTFS
nothing works
I have even tried install SD settings by OllieD adn that did not work
according to the specs I should be able to use my 2GB Sandisk Extreme III 2.0 GB SD Card, but alas my uni just does not see it.
any other suggerstions tips?
Also does spbsoftwarehouse's backup work really well?
I want to try some other ROMS on the device and I dread having to reinstall everything and reconfigure it too.
I would much rather back the dang thing up then experiment with various ROMS and then if nothing is to my liking, put my old ROM back with all my 'stuff'.
I have similiar problem.
In the past I have changed many ROM's from Tomal and many others. WM 5, 6.1, 6.5 and never had a problem with the card.
My last ROM where everything worked was Luca15thebig. After that I wanted to go back to Tomal V8.9 and then my problem started:
I did DOC format (always do that), put Tomal's ROM - ups, no SD card (with any SD card settings).
Did some searching on the forum, found similiar problem which was solved by flashing some factory shipped i-mate ROM. Again, DOC format, flashing that ROM (it is all-in-one ROM: radio, ext-rom and operating system). Booted that system (wow, time-warp to past ), frankly I didnt expect that my 8GB SDHC will work there - and it didnt.
Again DOC format> flashing Tomal V8.9 ROM> upgrading radio (that i-mate ROM reverted it back to 1.03). After a while booted Uni with Tomal's ROM, no SD card. Tried all settings, nothing.
Tried same thing but with that new Thing V2.3 ROM (very fast and stable BTW). Same thing - no SD card in file explorer.
My card works in my laptop. I even tried to format it in laptop - and my Uni still dont see it.
My friend has an Uni and I tried that card in his device. It works (he is using Tomal V8.7 ROM). Tried his 1GB SD card in my Uni - not working in my device.
Im no specialist but i think you guys have a hardware issue with the SD port. Maybe loose or something inside. Hope thats not the case. If multiple cards using multiple Roms do not work in Uni but work anywhere else then I would have someone or myself check to make sure the SD slot is soldered properly still.
i've encounted many issues with the SD + sdhc drivers for the universal, i'llw rite up a longer post with more information later as i've had a long day.
summary: keep trying different cabs, one will eventually work. make sure its formatted FAT32. popping it in and out+softresetitng a few times may be required.
I have a new problem every day!
Now, my memory card changes the name for memorycard2, and all the icones of programms I have installed in it is bloken. How can I fix it?
What version of energy is better, cookie ou standart? I cant connect with portuguese radio stations, I have 28.08.2010 rom version and 4.49.25.91. Do you think thats the better option?
Regards
I had the same problem when I decided to upgrade from WM6.1 to WM6.5, I didn't find any other solution than change the SD card. I have no technical explanation, just try different SD cards until you're lucky

This error normally happens, when u r connected in disk drive mode and an app using memory card is open. Phone doesn't detect a memory card and thus creats a folder "Memory card" in phone memory n store data in it.
To solve it, try this -
1. Remove memory card from phone
2. Delete "Memory Card" folder from phone memory
3. Insert memory card and reboot
If it doesn't work, format the card and everything will be fine.
P.S. - i faced d same problem and was not able to format the card in Windows XP. I then formatted using frnds' laptop, which had Windows Vista
