Doh! Spontaneous SD card erase strikes again - under 4.00.10

:shock:
I've been running the 4.00.10 beta along with new T-Mobile radio stack on my T-Mobile phone since thursday morning. It's been pretty stable.
But tonight I lost everything on my SD card again. Anybody else had this problem with the latest rom? What brand of SD cards are you using, if it has happened?
Any new software installed?
Last software I installed was Pocket Plus last night, but it seems to have been working ok up until the big kaboom.
Ok, of to do a hard reset and install things again. Fun fun!

Pocket plus has known issues with pppc2003. I have found that it's storage card module may cause problems with sd card erasures. Delete it and try resco taskmanager instead. It's not as intuitive but works great.

FYI the same thing has happened to a friend of mine and he called T-Mobile and they're sending him a new unit.
BTW he was running T-Mobile ROM 4.00.10 RS A.20 on the T-Mobile USA Network using a Sandisk 256MB SD.

I've had it hose my Sandisk 256mb card several times now, even with no other software installed.
A while back I read somewhere about some PocketPCs (Not PPC Phones) having problems with the sandisk cards erasing themselves. I am wondering if something in WM2003 is making them exhibit this behavior on the PPC Phone :shock:

sd disk erase
Same thing happened to me, It otherwise works well
Is it the brand of memory??? or version 4

Maybe a combination of a certain kind of sd card and the 4.0 os? Hmmm

sd erasure
Had the same with my XDA. I have an scandisk 256 mb unit inserted.
2 weeks ago I upgraded with a cooked version of the wm2003 .05 After a few days, when turning the decice off, I couldn't turn it on again using the on-switch button. Had to soft-reset to get started... Also at one time the device told me that my sd card was locked, but in fact had still 180 MB's left!!
I coocked a 2002 version in the kitchen and was lucky to be able to downgrade... Formated my SD card using my scandisk cruser mobile USB dard adaptor....
Now everything is ok on 2002. The wm2003 seems still very unstable to me
I posted a message with another string to get informed if it is still advisable to upgrade to 2003 at this time...
The webmaster himself did'nt encounter it personally yet but he stated that he only has the card in place occasionaly...

Sandisk 256
Have had mine erase once and has corrupted itself once more on the 4.00.5 rom....both happened after unit appeared to lock up and I soft reset.

Corrupt SD card

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?

Here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285511
says, that no problem with 512 Mb cards only.

Hi,
this soed nor only occur with 2GB Cards. I Own the Herald 4 Days now, and after 2 days the Storage Card ist corrupt... It is an 1GB Micro SD

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:

Dear Milen,
At the moment we do not have an exact date for when updates

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.

SD Card reader issues

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.

[PARTIALLY SOLVED] Freeze and sleep pbs after flash custom rom with manila 1922911

To begin, i'm really sorry if it has already discuss because i searched for these problems and i didn't find any threads (maybe i'm blind )
so, my problem are there :
- after a custom rom flash (i tried FRE and WWE, it doesn't matter), i've got a lot of freezes. At the beginning, i thought that was manila but even i stop it, it does again. When it happens, i can't do anything else, i'm obliged to SR
- times it works well (if i can say that , when device is turn to sleep, i can't unlock it. I explain : when i switch on screen, i slide to unlock and then it goes again to sleep and if i try again, it does the same again !
I tried some things a lot of time : HR, SR re-flash, re-HSPL... and each time, it's the same thing
The only rom works it the last official one (i lost the HSPL each time too)
EDIT
some new test results : (for me only at this moment)
- in manila 1921, 8 and 16 GB cards are accepted without any problem
- in manila 1922, 8 GB card is accepted with any problem
- in manila 1922, 16 GB card isn't accepted ! freeze and unlock problems
i repeat that it does even if sense i switch off, so the doc tab issue seems not to be a good way...
END EDIT
EDIT 2
LINK TO STERNAS ROM
above a link to the only rom works. Thanks to Sternas (and waiting if he wants to explain it precisely to permit other cookers to include issue)
END EDIT 2

Yes, there are a lot of people, having the same problem. Myself as well
But we couldn't find the solution for it.
I tried different cooked roms, I formatted the sd card (fat32), I took out the sd card, I tried with or without sim card, but the device still freezes.
In case of original roms it works without freezing

Original ROMs also freeze

I disagree - I find that in the mornings, the phone the radio has gone off and nobody can phone me (I charge the phone all night). I am on Rom 48.

Hi Will,
You are talking about custom roms FRE and WWE are they realy custom or do you talk about the stock roms?
Maybe it's good you explain how you flash the rom and explain how you use the rom.
Do you use the rom default or do you install applications?
Which applications you are using, a list would be great.
And you can also explain this:
* Are you using HSPL or SSPL?
* Do you flash from storage card or do you use your desktop?
* Did / or did you not remove storage card during flash?
* Did you hardreset after flash?
* Which roms are you talking about, I mean which versions?
The more details you give the more people can verify if they have simulair problems/ software that could cause this issue and the faster you will find what is causing it.

Hi Laurentius26,
i'm sorry if i didn't precise all things you ask because i used to flash my different device for a while (since the first diamond) and i begin to have a little experience on it. So, i think i use the good way
To explain, i use to do this :
- copy the leoimg.nbh on the root of SDCard (previously formatted in FAT32) and i precise it is a sandisk microSD
- two methods then : test from the microSD (restart with the volume down key pressed) or from the PC with the CustomRUU.exe . I precise again that i've already install HSPL from Bepe and Cotulla (thanks again to them)
- after device restart, i do a HR, then i follow the config wizard and i do a SR.
and then, i do nothing, just set hour and date and the problems listed above appear, without any time to install or custom anything
for the rom, i confirm too that's not stock roms i tried but for example, Xannytech Evolution 1.0 RC1 or rom from French cooker Seya
So, i don't think it is a method problem but maybe a little bit different hardware than all of you (why ? i don't really know)
Let's go for your analysis !
thanks

I can give you 3 suggestions how you can find the cause.
Try flashing with Custom ruu but no storage card inserted.
Actualy you could try to use the rom for a day without your storage card and see if the problem persist. If not you can put the storage card back in and continue testing.
Yah and second suggestion is trying another custom rom and see if the problem persist.
If the problem still persist after these steps I would flash a stock rom, one time without storage card inserted and one time with.

i've just tried to flash with freyberry_premium_V5.3_23518 and then it works well !!!
does it mean that my phone doesn't support rom further 1.48 ?
have you any idea about that ?

No I would say the two roms you mentioned earlier probably have a bug in rom which causes the freezing and you should contact the chefs.

in fact, it's not a problem of rom version because problems comme back again, even with the freyberry_premium_V5.3_23518, i can't unlock HD2, it return to sleep before i unlock completly...
i try another rom to see

just a information, when i use customRUU.exe, it always says me that i change my image version from mine to "1.48.kwbr"
with all the different rom, i always have this message ! is it OK ?
Edit : forget this, i was wrong. I did the same and so, i obtained same version ...

I'm facing the same problem with cooked rom. But I test the cooked rom by copying a big file into my document folder, and left with about 10M in main memory, files in HD2 are easily corrupted and HD2 freeze.
- flashing stock 1.48, and then cooked rom with hard reset, HD2 can not pass the copying test.
- flashing stock 1.61, and then cooked rom with hard reset, pass the copying test, and my HD2 still functioning after one day of use. I realize that the radio for 1.61 is newer, version 2.06.

I tried to install a FRE custom rom based on 2.02 and then it works until i put the microSD card in again.
After this, freeze and sleep problem come back. So, is there a problem with 16 Gb SDHC Class 2 MicroSD card ?
thanks

it was not far to work well...
i flash without MicroSD, then install SD card hotfix from HTC and it seemed to work for 5 minutes.
i try to recover my contacts with pimbackup from my microSD and then FREEEEEZE : obliged to pull out battery
i'm fed up with this problem !!!

Yes I am using the same SD but I am observate a little bit different behavior. MY HD2 freeze and nothing can be done. I soft reset my device but the boot up doesn´t finish again. It stops at the white HTC screen and showing me the version numbers on the left bottom. I have to hard reset my device to use it again. I had this two times with dutty´s V0.3a and the implemented Radio 2.06 using HSPL.

As you get your problems with all ROMs I guess it's either your sd-card or your device.
I suggest you first try another (smaller) sd-card. My 8Gb works perfectly.

I am also using a 8GB card (Kingston - Class 4) and had no single freeze or lock-up since the beginning.
As I thought about switching to the 16GB SanDisk card as well I am very interested in the result. If it's either a sd card or device issue.
Best regards

i totally agree with you, i think now it's a SD problem but what i can't understand is :
i use this card since i had my touch HD (the first one) and there is never a problem
i change my phone to HD2 and so put my 16 GB in HD2 and then : no problem too
it's only since i try to flash with custom roms and not with stock roms, so it's not really a sd problem but a problem between SD and last roms, am i wrong ?

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..

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..

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..

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 ?

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.
