Cant see memory card - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Hi all!
Today i purchased my new /second hand/ htc tytn
Idont know what the problem is, is it just me for being to noob at this time, or is my htc broken
I entered 1GB SD card, but in mobile nothing happens, how can i access memory card, or how can i see if phone even knows if memory card is in ?
I am starting to think that my memory card part of the phone is broken
Please help.
EDIT: Nevermind i am an idiot, worked fine after formating...., sorry again!

No worries. Now, so you won't feel more like an idiot, Hard SPL your Hermes before you try to flash it with a new OS.
Just some advice.....
Cheers...

SD Card Problem
Hi all,
i'm not a total noob on these phones, but now I have the same problem. My hermes doesn't detect the SD card.
I flashed my phone with PDAviet DVH_V27_NoBS still it doesn't detect the SD card.
I hope some has any good suggestions for me.

I found this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420894 After repeatedly inserting/removing the SD card it works for a second, then it stops again.
I formated my card again in my PC and now it works...

My Wizard doesn't recognize my SD Card.

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?

SD card issue?!

I'm going to buy Gene and read a lot of possitive oppinions abiut it. But there is a discussion on a russion forum www.4pda.ru about SD card problem. As I understood sometimes it looses SD card and everything on it. The files are shown in wrong symbols and even more - sometimes all data are lost. Does anybody had the problemm? know the solution? Thank you.
Get a reputable brand. I once had that problem with a 512MB in Imate JAM, but my Gene has a 1GB Apacer and Ive never had problems. Get a miniSD with an adapter for more versatility.
i have sumtin to tell
hey i bought my gene say three months back.put a 1 gb Transcend SD...but after some days when i took it out and again inserted it...the memory was lost and it was not formatting also....one fine day suddenly my treo recognized the card..but with only 480 MB.....i had to finally buy a new SD for my Gene...
They say SD card should be inserted after soft reset and will work fine. Also there e few guys tested MMC cards and said there wew no problems.
same here

hey i got the same problem to. talk to the HTC CustomerCare. they asked me to get my PPC reflashed. it might be due to some ROM error.
but if u try restarting (soft reset) ur PPC. it will work normally. i have used this technice. it works fine with me.
I recently came to a big problem. my storage card is not working correctly. my ppc takes a lot of time in accessing and reading it and sometimes gets hangs while doing it. i tried formating my device but the problem still exists. then i tried formating the memory card with my PC but again something strange happened. While formatting my pc gave an error msg "Windows Can't Format" or something like tht. i tried to manually delete the contents of my memory card but it says can not access device. I am sure tht my card is not Password lock. i think the problem occured after i used "WM5 Storage" software for my PPC to act as a "Mass Storage Device".
plz some1 tell me how can i fix my memory card.
plz plz plz plz plz help..........
yes, it is definitely a big problem with the SD card problem, i mean not the SD card problem, but the Gene's Problem! i bought it 2 months ago for my wife, comes with a brand new Transcend 1GB SD card, after i've installed all the programs into the SD card, its seems ok at first...BUT, when the Gene go to the standby mode, & u wake up the Gene, the program u have installed in the SD card all GONE!! the device can't find any thing in SD card & it finally hang! it is definitely not bcos i m using lousy brand SD card, i've tried Kingston, Pendrive, Sandisk & it has the same problem! i've called HTC service centre in Malaysia (i m from Malaysia) & they dun even knew about this (& even they gave me taiwan HTC email address, & told me to get an answer from taiwan).....
i have no choice, i have hard reset the device for more than 10 times, believe me, i started my pda phone live 5 years ago, i knew what is hard reset...& i tried more than 5 SD cards... same problem, some of the cards facing difference problem - the data saved in the card became unreadable & weird symbol.
since the service center does not has any solution for it, i have to use my own silly stupid way to prevent the Gene Hang, i have set the device all the time alive & avoid going to standby mode, & the problem solved...never hang again...but...imagine...the battery life ....(sigh).....
i sincerely hope that there is somebody in this forum could help to solve this BIG problem.....
At me too a problem with SD card... Very often on a card some files and folders are renamed in not clear symbols and data vanish.... A problem not only at me.... It at many, and it does not depend on a card memory from insertion Gene...
SD Card got Locked
I installed a software on my Gene, named "WM5 Storage".
it allows u to access ur memory card without activesync, as Mass Storage Device.
after the first use i found my card locked. it was unreadable. my ppc also started hanging. i tried restarting my ppc. now i was able to acces my storage card from file explorer, but it takes around 15-20 minutes and another 15minutes to access the files. when i connect it with my pc, active sync does not detect the SD card. i also tried to format the SD card through a card reader. the card reader reads its root files but couldn't access/open them. when i tried to format it give an error "device not accessible. device not ready.".
i also checked the lock button on the card, it was unlocked. plz some1 help.
plz plz plz..
mee too
GUYS I HAVE ONE CARD WITH ME THAT IS PERFECTLY OK...BUT DOES NOT GET READ IN MY GENE.....IN MY TREO 680 IT SHOWS ONLY HALF MEMORY....AND MY LAPTOP IS ALSO NOT RECOGNISING IT...WAT TO DO....???
I have the same sd card problem.......can anybody tell me the solution?is there same problem with mmc card? if no them i'll buy a new mmc card....plz help me.
Count me in
I had this problem for 5 times and still has it. Actually this happens(based on my experiences and opinion only) when u install some software on the SD card and it damages the file system.
Solution might be not to install apps on SD card or use a RS-DV-MMC which is used in recent Symbian phones.
Give it a try...
And plz post feedback.
Enjoy....

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.

Touch HD MicroSD Card missing

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.
