Help! My HD cant find my micro-SD! - Touch HD General

Has anyone had this problem before? While scrolling through my photos using TF3D (photos mostly saved on the microSD card), TF3D froze. I soft reset, and paf! I cant access the microSD. Tried connecting to my pc and still nothing. I don't even have the option anymore of choosing to use the HD as a portable hard drive. Its acting as if there isn't a microSD in it.
Any suggestions anyone?
PS I recently installed the new HTC official ROM a few days ago. But didn't have problems until now. Could this be related?

if you install the advanced config utility 3.3 theres an options for PNP delay timing that can help with sd cards not showing up in certain devices. just install the cab to your device and try setting a longer delay timing.

I have been having exactly the same problem. Soft reset has brought it back each time but it is not a permanent solution.

Thanks for the reply guys. I'll try your suggestion with advanced config utility 3.3. I hope it works cos I had a load of stuff saved and installed on the microSD card.
@bford: I've tried soft resetting numerous times without any luck. I just wonder if perhaps the card is just fried

I experienced the same exactly problem.... What I did was to take out the micro sd, pluged it in micro sd reader and formatted it with Panasonic's SD Formatter
After That it works Like a charm!
Hope I helped...

Thank you. That has solved my problem too. It seems there were problems in the recycled files folder. This is now sorted. I'm still watching nervously though!

Very strange,can't delete or add any file on my xda II

Strange indeed, I can't delete or add any file, when I try to do so, the small circle shows up to show that the pocket pc is working, then nothing happing it keeps going round till it blocks. I had this problem before and I solved it with a hard rest. I don't have the intention to hard reset again. Anyboby had this weird problem??
I might add that i can delete the files on my computer through activesync with no problem. I have O2 German upgraded to the T-mobile 1.60 english.. so any clues whatsoever???
What software do you have installed, I would be inclined to do a backup then hard reset, then when reinstalling software check if the problem occurs after each installation of your programs, this might pin it down to a program that is locking all files for some reason.
It seems that it happens randomly, cuz when I made a backup I didn't had this problem.Then when the problem occured I restored but the problem remailned. I have a lot of programs installed I wans doubting Microsoft voice command but the problem remailned after uninstalling it other programs(metro,tomtom 2,finger clix,fullscreen keyboard,sms writer,xcpuscalar,pocketMVP) any of these programs is known to force this problem. Thanks
I don't know that any of these programs by themselves are known to cause this behavior - but sometimes combinations of programs, glitches during installations, or any of a dozen other things can cause abnormal behavior.
I would agree with cruisin-thru . . . the only way to be sure if it is one of the programs you have installed, and if so which, is to do a hard-reset and install the programs one-at-a-time, giving some time for testing between installations.
Same problem here
Yep - I have had and currently have the same problem.
Uninstalling programs does not help, only a hard reset and then reinstall one by one testing as you go.
I have done a hard reset in the past, but never built it back up to the same spec, so have not pin pointed an app (if it is an app)
It may help if you compare to my install list ??
Let me know how it goes,
Ian

I think that there is a bug which appear only when you use the SD card slot.
I've the same strange randomic problem, the workaround is:
- Remove SD Card
- Softreset
- Reinsert SD Card
At least, you don't need hard reset anymore
I think that there is a bug which appear only when you use the SD card slot.

All I can say about that is that I use SD cards extensively, and I have never experienced the behavior that whafni77 describes. It could be . . . but I'm skeptical.
Maddoc ur the man, it really resolved the problem and u made me feel small not having thinked of that. For the rocord the only program in common with InaF is Pocket Bluetooth Tools, don't know if it has something to do with it. Thanks guys
Well what do you know!!!
Well Maddoc, this just goes to prove you learn something new every day!
o I tried to delete a file in File Explorer - it hung
o I killed off File Explorer from the running program list - probably not required, but just to prove the file had really been deleted
o I ejected my SD card - a very cheaply made one
o Soft Reset
o Tried to delete another file - and it worked !!
o Inserted the SD card
o Tried to delete another file - and it worked !!
I'm very happy, and the confusion as to why it is acting like this will soon disappear.
Thanks again!
That's the good part, the bad one is that you have to pull out the SD card every single time you do a soft reset, but I'm satisfied with that until someone knows what the heck is going on.

Just to add some extra informations...
In my office there are 2 qtek2020 users, me and another friend.
The only differences between devices is that i use SD cards regulary and only my device is having this kind of problem, the frequency of this problem arises when i use TOMTOM navigator and the maps are stored in SD card.
The results are the same with my 256mb sandisk and 128mb pretec.
Seems that at some point the QTEK2020( and i think also mda/imate etc... ) is unable to "receive" file change notifications( or something like that ) and the results are:
1) You can't delete file with "file explorer"( hourglass loop )
2) If you write a new note and save it, you can't even see the note on the list !!!
3) If you install another application, the program group/start menu is not updated !!!
BTW i've just reformatted my 256mb sd card with flashformat two days ago, no problem for the moment but i'm not using navigator now...
Thanks to all
I stand corrected! Partially anyway . . . :wink:
Since I do not use TomTom Navigator (or any other GPS software for that matter) it is conceivable that the software is corrupting the FAT on the SD card.
Have you tried using StorageTools (or other similar software) to scan (automatically fix all errors) and defrag the SD card to see if it has any effect?
Well I formatted the SD card(pdc 256) with storage tool and fixed all errors(tried fat32&16) but the problem still there. The thing remains to try is to uninstall TomTom2 along with the Gps software to see if it solves. :?:
A key point here is that even uninstalling might not solve the problem. It is a sad fact that many times when you uninstall a program, both on PCs and PPCs, it is not uncommon for registry entries to be left behind, unnecessary .dlls and other files to remain, and some files that were overwritten by newer (or older) versions to remain as well. This is why several of us have stressed hard-resetting the device . . . it is the ONLY way to be sure you are starting from a known platform.
SD problems
I've only seen these type of problems if I haven't first formatted the card in the target device first.
Well finally the problem resolved. I should say the hint that mrg2003 gave is really the solution,in other words you should not format the card from the device but rather from the card reader(fat and not fat32) and bingo no more blocks. I should say this forum is great. Cheerz :lol:

I confirm, i formatted my sd with flash format... No problems at all now !!!!
I really don't understand this perfectly right! I have an SD Card and the same problem as all of you state.
What do I have to do? I use the Qtek 2020...
Thanx in advance.
Still have a problem and can someone help me with it!
I formatted the sd card with a lot of tools through the Qtek, like storagetools and flash format.
Afterwards I tried to format through windows format tool!!
But none of them worked and still have the problem of the hourglass..... Can somebody help me? I have a Sandisk 256 MB Ultra II.
Thanx in advance

Keeps rebooting with new microsd card

Hi , i just got a new sandisk 4gb microsd. The card works fine except when i softreset, it wont go to the homescreen, it will keep rebooting without an end!
Ive been reading on the internet and for some people the solution was to renaming the file omap850_sdhc.dll to omap850_sdhc.dll.old in the windows folder.
But on my htc p4350 with the official vodafone wm6 , that file seems to be part of the rom and cant be edited ! Ive tried totalcommander, resco explorer.
Does anyone have a solution for this or is familiar with this problem??
Thanks
What happens if you take the card out, reboot, then put it back in?

That works , but thats just not what i want.
Hi Phusio,
I have the same problem. Have you found a solution yet?
the windows sdhc card driver probably messed up...that or you installed something on the card that should've been installed on the phone..and now your windows is confused...hehe
there are several solutions... i don't know any that work on all devices
it's been discussed many times... try searching for boot-loop or stuck at splash screen... something along those lines.
the easiest solution is to hard reset...
if you're card is clean that's even better cuz then you can organize it very nice and neat..
Doing a hard reset is not an option for me.
Several other threads have discussed the option of deleting/renaming the omap650sdhc.dll followed by a soft-reset. But this dll is in rom and cannot be deleted. Tried Total Commander and Resco Explorer, but no chance.
Guess I will wait until I'm fed up enough to do a hard-reset.
i had that same problem with my new MicroSD 4GB card.
All i did was:
Turn the phone off and take battery + SIM out.
Turn in your MicroSD card and start it up.
When it's fully booted take the battery out without turning the phone off and put the sim back in.
Then turn it back on and hope for the best.
It worked for me.

16gb Microsd disappearing

Hey guys,
anyone having problems with their microsd card not showing in file explorer?
I'm using a SanDisk Microsd and it was working fine then disappeared.
It has been installed properly and WAS working.
I know its not the card as I have tried the card in a HTC Hero and it works fine. Also tried a 2gb microsd and it does not get recognised after disappearing from file explorer.
I have tried uninstalling programs to see if its a certain cab causing this but no luck. I have found that doing a hard reset restores the microsd in file explorer.
So far two hard resets have restored it but it seems to keep disappearing!!
Did you try another sd card?
It might be just card problem, if not....

Yeah tried a 2gb card that came with the HD2 but no luck
I mean it works after I hard reset but once it disappears HD2 won't recognise when I swap to a 2GB card.
Is this a bug? I don't think its a hardware issue as it shows when I hard reset.
Is your HD2 connected to the USB cable and PC when looking?
If so. Try again without the connection.
I thought I had a similar issue at first with mine - turns out, if I remove and re-insert the SD card - then open explorer and have it as high level view as poss (My Device) - Storage Card folder isn't there.....but then I scrolled to the bottom of the folder tree - and for some reason, once it's removed and re-inserted, the first time you use the explorer, it places that folder at the bottom (so off the screen) but it was there for me [once you've used explorer once and dont remove/re-insert card, it places the storage card folder back up the folder tree in usual place] - sounds like you have a more serious issue though if you've checked that and it's not even there.

No not connnected to USB.
I just did another hard reset and it shows again. I installed a couple of cabs (Touch X Task Manager, tnyynt SD Tuneup) and everything is working fine. I then decided to do a soft reset and it disappeared again.
EDIT: I actually just uninstalled tnyynt SD Tuneup and did soft reset and microsd reappears in file explorer...hmm will have to investigate further.
you have to hard-reset.
I have the same problem when installing the coreplayer...then my storage card disappears. It seems like a driver or something gets deleted or messed up.
hard-reset and you will be fine.
also don't forget to format your SD card once...I forgot this too...maybe that helps too.

I have hard reset but that is obviously not a permanent solution. It is not because of Coreplayer.
I have been using since uninstalling SD Tuneup and soft reset. Working fine for now so I assume it had something to do with using SD Tuneup with leo or wm6.5? Anyway will report back if any more dramas.
I can't find my SD card either seems that i have the same problem as you.. wtf to do??? have formated, an everything i know..

when did it stop working? does it appear after a hard reset?
Mine seemed to be associated with software I installed (namely tynnnt SD Tuneup). After I uninstalled it and did a soft reset it reappeared in file explorer...

microsd card destroyed by flashing rom?

hello everyone.
i have a problem and i hope you guys can help me by sharing your idea's / thoughts.
the problem is that my Sandisk 8gb class 2 isnt recognised by anything anymore.. here is my story what led to this event.
i was going to flash a new rom. so i removed sim and sd card (removed my card becouse i was using mtty task 29 with radio and was affraid it would remove the data on there too.) anyway after that was done i flashed EnergyROM with max sense. but it was the different max sense that i was hoping for so i flashed to energyrom 17th march with cookie shortly after. i installed some programs from storage card.. seemed to work fine. i plugged it in my computer as a disk drive, put some programs on it. it was busy and then it disappeared. it wouldnt show up on the phone to so i soft reset it. still nothing.. i hard reset and it still was gone.. then i put it in a sd adapter and into my laptop. wouldnt show there too. so can it be that it got ****ed up by the rom? (becouse there are other ppl having this issue)
any help would be welcome..

You've mentioned in your post that it stopped working whilst connected to your computer, so how would it be the ROM causing the issue?

i am not sure about that but there are 2 other people i saw in the energyrom threat posting about the same subject. (here and here) since there is not much help about the subject there and im not sure its even rom related i came here to ask for help.
i read somewhere that it could be possibly fixed by putting the card for 2 hours in the freezer. but that didnt work for me..

Hello Jamieeeee,
I couldn't agree you more ... ! I have exactly the same encounter as you. My Sandisk 8G card is corrupted soon after flashing EnergyRom Maxmanila for a few hours (Before flashing, I removed my sim and sd card). Then, I put the card in three different computers hoping that I could recover the files but failed. Still searching for resolutions!
Could this be hd2 or sd card's problem?
your hd2's came with an 8 gig? mine came with a 16 gig. sweet!
yeah, that sux tho. did you try reformating the card?
the 16gb sd card that came with this phone seems very cheap.. when i tried to copy a few GB of music and a couple movies on mine (through activesync) it kept crashing..
the phone would say it recognized a sd card inserted, but it wouldnt scan it nor did the pc detect the "drive"
i had to reset the phone several times durring the transfer..
finally i just went with a better quality 8gb sd card i had.. its much faster.
i was going to try to contact tmobile and now that ive seen posts about the sd card i think i will.
hi all
Regarding this problem we all are having i think its got to do with the energy rom somewhere as i have flashed different energy roms and SD card appear for so long and then disappear. After taking battery out and then it will reappear again and disappear again.
I got it to stay on one rom installed all programs i needed etc then did a reset it disappeared and still gone but it can re read by a card reader so not corrupted.
so it's got something to do the Energy rom i think.
any thoughts ?
Eggie
not related to rom
i too had the same problem with stock rom and if i recall well two more users got this problem with hd2 with stock rom. i also have got the stock sandisk 8gb. all people having this problem here have got the 8gb?? i think the problem is with the 8gb card supplied with the phone.

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

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
I had this problem too
I've fixed this problem thus
I backed up all info the storage Card and I made a complete format the storage card complete under windows, after I copied all info into storage card again, and this operation 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

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!
