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 ?

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.

Problem with mytouch 3g 1.2 and SD card?

So I have a mytouch 3g 1.2 and they come stock with an 8gb Sandisk class 2 SD card. I had problems with the SD card sometimes not being read or the phone acting like there was no SD card in there when there is. I've tried reformatting it several times to no avail. I ended up calling HTC and telling them my problem. They told me that they were out of stock and they'd put me on a list to get one when they get a new shipment in. So I'm still waiting for the replacement.
However I've recently rooted my phone with Cyanogen's recent Eclair 2.1 rom, version 5.0.7 test 7, on my phone and I've had no problems with my SD card not being read or anything like that. This leads me to think that it's not that the SD card is defective but it's the vanilla cupcake OS, stock OS, that has a problem? Has anyone else had this experience before?

I recently received a myTouch 1.2 via insurance since I lost mine and I have been having this problem. Issues being read and written on. Its aggravating since I have to unmount and re insert for it to work. Its a stock 8GB microSD and I am trying to reformat it several times will update shortly

I haven't been able to make my sdcard work, when I'm using the camera it says please insert an sdcard. I don't know y it isn't working maybe its a defect in the phone

it's under /system/etc/init.d
file called 05mountsd. the 1 needs to be changed to a 0. I'm just not sure how to go about editing it? Not the most robust of Linux guys...

So since I posted this thread I've done some reading here and there. I don't remember where I read this but I read that the problem might lie with the OS itself. I wonder if any other phones with the official stock 1.6 have this problem as well or if it's just the mytouch having this problem.

SD Card Problems

if someone could help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated.
ever since about 3 days into flashing freshes 0.1 ROM, I have been getting unexplained SD problems. for example,
1) I would open up the camera and I would get an error mesage saying " cannot write to SD card: no sufficient privileges.
2)when i open up my music app,(I have about 10 albums of music in my music folder on my SD Card), I get a force close, or just no music would show up at all.
3) when i use a file explorer like ASTRO, I would go into a folder that I know has files in it, yet it's showing me an empty folder, or when i try to delete a file i would just get an error message.
4) and finally, when I open up my gallery, it would either get a force close, or say SD card is unmounted, or just show no pictures at all.
I updated freshes 0.2 rom thinking it may have solved the problem. but it didn't
then flashed Damage's 3.0 Rom and still same problems.
Is this software related or just my SD card going bad,( its the stock 8GB card that came with it.
It never used to be like this. just started happening about 3 days ago
I posted this in Q&A but no answers. thought posting here would help out more.

The OTA update is supposed to fix this issue for good. If you don't want to do the OTA, then just try formatting the SD card while connected to your computer.

I have been having the same exact issue with my EVO. I started on the fresh.1 then .2. I tried 2 other roms and still was having the same issue.
After a reboot it would work for a little bit then work off and on.
I downloaded the sd-formatting tool and did a full erase and format while connected to a windows box. Then reformatted again with the evo.
Same issue still.
I plan on ordering a new class 6 sd card from new egg tomorrow to see if it is just a batch of bad/faulty sd cards.

If you haven't installed the OTA update, there really isn't much fault with the device itself, seeing as how it's already been fixed.

I'm currently running:
RvU 1.3.2.
"This is based off of the latest leaked RUU that has the OTA update included (1.32.651.6)."
I thought the OTA update is built into most of the ROMs currently available or am I missing something.
If not how do you go about installing it. I have had the phone check for updates but it says that there are no update available.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is my first android devise so I'm a little new to this.

im running omj's 1.3 rom and i have the sdcard issue all the damn time its driving me nuts.. is the fix not in this rom or does it not matter ? it seems like any time i use a file system too to access the fs or use dropbox or anything the sdcard gets all fu**ed up and i need a reboot to fix it.

let me know if this fixes things

I just placed my order on newegg for a new class 6 sd card. So we will see in a couple days if this fixes it or if I'm just missing something.

I swapped sd cards with a friends EVO and it words perfectly in mine. I have downloaded about 150MB of podcasts to the sd card without issue. Astro manager is now able to drill down and has no issues seeing sub folders.
I will post back if I have any other issues as well as when I get my new SD to confirm that it is still working without issue.

I was having the same intermittent issue with the sd card, running the OMJ EVO 2.1 Eclair v1.3 ROM...swapped out the sd card with one from my old samsung jack and so far I have not had any issues...tried to duplicate the sd card errors just doing what i normally do but seems to be working fine now...

so its just bad SD cards being shipped out with them?

@halehouse what Gig is the SD card you ordered? Im looking for a 32gig class 6 microsd and cant find one ANYWHERE. except the scandisk website...if i wanted to pay 200 for it

I just orders an 8Gig class 6 card.
A few days ago the second sd card that I had gotten from another EVO (that was about to be taken back to sprint) failed. Showing blank card, and several format attempts did nothing.
I dot my new class 6 sd card from new egg 2 days ago and it is working perfectly so far. Faster transfer rates also.
I think it may be an issue with the sd cards but I really not for sure.

Cannot delete/add files on 16Gb sdhc card

Hi all
Just want to share my experience. Don't know whether it was a result of me flashing my TP but just recently when I wanted to add some songs on to my sdhc card (which is in my TP) I noticed that I couldn't. Also when I delete some files, once I refreshed the screen, it would still be there. Noticed that something was going on when I couldn't save pics to my sd card, thought it was due to the NRG rom but now it's confirmed that the card will not delete/add other files on to it. I've had this card since I bought my tp 2 years ago
Whatever is on the card is fine, like my previous programs that were installed and my music which was there before. It is still usable, only with what is there.
I tried to format the card - after almost 24h of formating - it gave an error (forgot what it was though)
So, next time you flash, might want to remove that sd card?

i ve nrg Rom (ernergy style), too and a 16 GB sdhc card ... i never take it out when flashing new roms & i flash nearly every new rom that comes out, never had such issues as you have... maybe hardware error: did you controll/format (fat-format) your card with special progs as SDFormatter from Panasonic?

hi, no i just used initially via windows and then via command prompt. forgot about sdformat...
will google & try,
thanks for reminding me

SD card dead?

This happened to me 2nd time now The phone says that the SD card is blank or has unsupported file system. I also tried it on a PC an it doesn´t detect it too. This happened to me first time when I flashed official GB beta1 after a day of use and the SD card never worked again (it was sandisk 8GB) after 1 day of use and now it happened again same after 1 day of use The SD is silicon power 16GB.
Also I was using CM7 for much longer then the official ROM and never had any issue like this.
So, did this happened also to anyone else? And is there any solution?
Edit: SD card magically started working I was just about to flash MIUI so I went to recovery (it didn´t detect it either) and did a backup and then rebooted phone (to give it one last try)... now it works!
