Hello,
I am new to this forum and appologize if I have missed an answer to this question.....
I have an SX56 that I just flashed ROM 3.04 and windows mobile 2003 SE
I am now unable to read any sd cards that I insert into the slot, I figure it is a driver issue, that should be easy to fix but like I said I am a newbie and could be wrong... When I go into Memory> storage card it says not installed. I double checked with a couple of different cards...
What have I done wrong?
Thanks,
JNL1105
if the rom is still on the sd card it need to be formatted with a program like
storage mechanic
or something like that
I actually upgraded through the usb sync and not with the sd card.
Did a bunch of playing around and did a couple of registry mods. and such and now it sees the cards... so it resolved its seelf so to speak....
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.
Hello, I'm not glad that i have to post this topic, but i think the whole story about "Waiting for SD card" problem will never end. I have 3 SD's at home, even one not works.
What i tried:
- i read a lot of topics about this problematics
- i tried to format my cards to fat32
- i tried clean cards
- i tried to format with special tools
- i tried customize startup.txt with msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave etc.
- i tried 5 versions of android, even one not works...
I will be very glad if someone helps me or gives me an advice what should i try
Thanks a lot!
Is any one of the sd cards you tried a "class 2"? Seems that class 6 sd cards have this problem.

no need to try more versions on your current SD cards. Go to look for some very old one, better smaller then 2GB.
I got 5 in my home, 2 of them works. Both of them are 2GB, bought 3 yrs ago.
None of new one could be used.
i realised the old versions of sd card works but the newer ones dun.
U shuld change SD card~~
Pretty Disappointing... I'm stuck too. I'm suprised it hasn't been fixed yet can't be that hard compared to everything else they've acheived.
I hope everyone involved keeps up the hard work but it'd be great for someone to revisit this problem.
its a hardware problem of the sd card, not a software problem.
it will never be fixed (its not possible).
its not like an sd card is too expensive ^^ just get another one...
have a look at this thread

I tend to disagree. SD is a well known standard on the market.
The card that I have works fine for more than a year in Windows Mobile with Touch HD card reader. Without a single problem during that time. So everything: operating system, SD card and HTC HD card reader are fine.
It doesn't work with Android, so there is something wrong. Either with SD card initialization procedure, drivers or operating system (Android).
Unfortunately, I can't effort using 2GB card. I'm using my phone e.g. for books reading, music, photos, games etc. It's not only a phone I hope that all these hard working Android guys can fix this issue.

we are not looking at the sd card when its detected by the operating system but by the device itself.
the problem might be that the device is simply not capable to use some sdcards without the proper drivers (which the os then provides). what im saying is: before you enter the os the device might not detect some particular sd cards, but once the os is booted, it does.
the issue here is simple: if the device doesnt support the sd card, the os wont boot, this has nothing to do with the os.
if you dont believe me:
try flashing a WM rom from the "problem sd card". u will see: it wont work.
now try booting android from the same sd card. u will see: it wont work.
now get another card u can boot android with.
now try flashing a WM rom from this sd card. u will see: it will work.
conclusion: its a hardware problem.
i must say im not an expert but im not stupid either. i tried what i explained myself and thats just how it is...
if someone has a better explanation please correct me

What you're saying may be right. I'm not an expert either, so these are only my conclusions.
I think that what may be failing is the HSPL (Bios) that most people here loaded. I'm pretty sure that I was able to flash from SD card on my stock ROM. At some point it stopped working. I'll try to rollback to stock SPL (I'm not sure how to do it, yet) and confirm. So changed HSPL may be the issue.
Another question is, why SD drivers in either case are not loaded with the boot image. I don't know Android internals, so I can't tell if this is possible. But it would help in this case.
In both cases I don't think this is hardware issue that can't be resolved.

Sorry. You are wrong. I am frequently flash my phone using SD card with HSPL. But the card also face problem with Android. So definitely not the hardware problem.

lucky guy
From my personal experience on my Kaiser I can confirm that newer SD cards do indeed seem to cause problems in Android, especially with installing or running from SD.
I have 3 SD cards I normally use for my phones, the newest a 4Gb class 6, which I have never been able to use for Android on Kaiser or Blackstone, I can't even flash with it, it just never works, using it for data storage works fine, just can't run Android from SD or Flash with it, the other 2 are 2Gb class 2's, both work just fine for flashing, and work great when using them for running Android builds from SD on Kais and Blac hardware.
My conclusions? Well I fall into the 'hardware problem' camp, mostly, since I can't flash either Winmo or Android with the class 6, it may be the card, but I wonder sometimes if it's the capacity, since both the class 2's are almost the same age as the class 6, all are sdhc, all 3 are from the same manufacturer , (SanDisk), in fact the only real difference is the capacity.
Waiting for SD Card
I have also tried a Transcend 8 GB SD Card and it doesn't work.
The same files on a Tanscend 1GB SD Card work just fine, so it's definitely a hardware problem caused by the card.
I've tried everything - formatting the card with different tools and different cluster sizes, partitioning the card below 4GB - all without success.
For all you guys out there with the "waiting for SD card" problem: Get a different (small) card !! - It's worth it !
what about this - copy files in the package into device internal memory and boot from there(i don´t know where to change booting directory in cfg...). if it created data.img on the sdcard, it would be fine solution...

Not sure it's that simple... once winmo is killed, the internal memory would have to be accessed natively by Android. It could be different for every device (where as SD is a standard, device agnostic format, internal memory isn't)
Whilst most HTC devices will work in an almost identical manner, there is no guarantee of what the internal memory is (it could actually be a HDD in theory).
I had this problem with my Transcend 8GB SD card, nothing solved it so I traded it for a Sandisk 8GB SD card with a colleague.
Works fine now. ^^

I'm using a Transcend 8GB card...the one that came with my blackstone with no problems at all. Don't think I did anything special though, formatted to FAT32, installed android from a CAB (in this thread) loaded Android and then I copied my WinMo files back to the SD card as well.
One 2GB sandisk card I had though didn't work at all until I formatted it to FAT32 under linux, then it worked fine in WinMo and Android.
A friend also suggested to me trying to reduce the 'allocation unit size' when formatting the card but I've not tried that approach.
maybe u can try format SD Card to FAT (not FAT32 formatted i think.. maybe it FAT16)! i have 8gb and 2gb SD Cards.. and that all cards not work untill i formatted my 2gb SD Card to FAT!
CMIIW..
Hello.
i just bought my ipaq 614 and updated it from hp support site, and downloaded some apps, games put them into sd 2gb sandisk card and when i install them on my ipaq from sd card some apps hang during installation process, i reset device then some files on my sd gone but when i took card out of ipaq and connected it to card reader all files was there. sometimes later after few tries restart ipaq just shows card but theres nothing on it.
so whats the problem maybe i should buy 1gb card or other brand card?
or maybe update rom to win 6.5 or other not original would help..?
I would flash it but i really dont want to brick it.
Please help.
Thanks.
I think your sd card is just a bit loose...
Try to tighten it

Hi all,
Ihave installed pdaimatejam Rom Wp7.8 OS 7.10.8862.144 v8.9 on my HTC HD2 succesfully but there is only one 'minor' thing that is bugging me. With everything I do on the phone I get the message saying "Error. Oops! You have reached the storage limit on your phone. Go free up some space, then try again."
There is a 2GB micro SD card inside (completely empty), I also tried a 4GB micro SD card, same result..
Under settings > information the phone states that it has only 0,53MB of storage space available, it doesn't mention the sd-card at all.
I tried a hard reset with and without the sd-card in the phone, reformatting the sd-card, I even installed a Windows Phone 7.5 ROM but this gives me the same error.
Can anyone please help me with this? I can't install any apps right know, I even can't take one picture..
Hoping to read some good response soon.
Thanks in advance!
