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.

Are you able to read it from your PC? Use a card reader and read it through your PC.

If you formatted the card in NTFS then the phone will not be able to read it. You'll need to format it in FAT32 with atleast an 8KB allocation unit size (this will help a little bit with speed)

still
hi,thank u for replying my previous post..
i still cant read my sd card..i've tried to format it using pc and using fat32 but still it wont work.. is there anymore posibilities?
i tried many ways til my mind is empty to think abt it.

it might be a duff sd card. i had this problem last week. all of a sudden my sandisk 8gig sd card wouldnt work , my phone wouldnt read it and nor could my pc. i tryed formatting it on my pc. but my phone still woundnt read it. i have heard that the hd2 sometimes does this to sd cards .
i bought mine from carphone warehouse so i rang them and they said i could get a replacement so that has saved me 20 quid.
i would probaly get a new sd card.

thanks mate..appreciate it

having similar problems with my 2g sandisk card that came with the phone. except somwtimes it doesnt get recognised then out of the blue starts working. ahen its not recognised the phone knows a card is inserted. with file explorer open if i plug it in it jumps to the bottom of the file list but no sdcard shpws.
its weird as it just starts workibg again. no apparent data loss. gonna get a better card

My SD card drains the battery on the HD2.
Any suggestions??

New Tmo HD2 Micro SDHC problem

Ok, after having an Xperia X1 I gave in finally to the HD2. Man is it fast. I've already HSPL, Task 29, and flashed it with Energy ROM. My problem is everything works as it should including the storage card, but after I start playing around with it and it resets it stops recognizing the storage card. If I perform a hard reset, it recognizes it. If I go to boot loader it recognizes it. But after a couple soft resets stops recognizing it. What problems should I look in to in trying to resolve this?
Thanks.

Try removing it, booting the HD2, then switching it off and pop the card back in, does it still not see it?
Is the card the one that came with your phone?

If it is a stock SD card, then get it replaced, they suck. I had to get a new one before I walked out of the store .......

And no, it's not the stock card. It's a Sandisk 16 GB. I heard the stock cards weren't any good. But even with playing with both cards it still doesn't recognize it. This is very frustrating.
Could there be a possiblility of it being a ROM problem? I'll be honest and admit that I didn't even test it when it was stock. I just charged it and did the procedures to flash it and revert to the ROM that I'm use to on my Xperia. Or could it be a faulty phone?

It might be a faulty phone, but you should try different ROMs, see where that brings you.
EDIT: Lots of ppl have trouble with 16GB cards, but if you say that you have the same issues with the stock one, then...

My Xperia recognizes both cards, but the HD2 doesn't anymore. I even reformatted the both cards to FAT32 and both were recognized. So I copied some programs over and installed them...soft reset, and now it's not recognized again. I'm getting frustrated. I found that another member has stated that his class 2 didn't work, but class 4 did. But I thought Classes don't affect whether it's recognized or not, but the read/write speed?

dude try this, I've been doing this a couple of times and it works for my T8585. You insert it into a card reader then plug it to your computer. Most often a message appears on your computer screen telling you to fix your card (I use windows 7) but just ignore it. Then copy all the files in your card to your computer, plug it out and insert it into your phone. You can try and tell me whether it works for you.

SDHC problem
Hi, i have similar problem. When I insert SDHC (4Gb class4),Device dont recognize, but when i plug into USB and press Disk drive,RECOGNIZE. I have HD2 T-Mobile, Energy ROM/Stock ROM...
Can somebody HELP ME ?

[Q] sd card read only

hey im a little new to droids. i have rooted my mytouch 4g and was installing iced glacier for the rom and it was successful. but now get an error message saying sd card read only. any ideas o how to fix?

Can you still access the sdcard rw through recovery?
BTW, make sure you post questions in the q&a section. I'm sure when a mod sees this they will tell you the same and move the thread.
My MyGlacier 4G MINE!!!

Had same issue, card probably had a sector corrupt. Plug into pc and right click select check card for errors and fix. It will say it found and fixed errors, you will be good after that. Thats what I get when I buy a 8gb class 6 card for $7.99
Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk

i had to pull everything off of it onto my computer then reformat the sd card then put everything back on it. i guess i had a corrupt file on it

I was in the process of pulling, reformatting, etc. But, as Johnowa stated, the option to "scan and fix", which I usually ignore, popped up, I thought, "Why not?", and it actually fixed the problem. As was mentioned, it was likely a bad sector. Hope this helps.

As the others have said, see if you can "scan and fix" or pull everything off it and reformat it. BTW, its Android. Droid is Verizons line of Android phones.

I would add one thing here.
Make sure you copy everything off the card BEFORE you "scan and fix" I had done that before without loosing anything. This time (on a 16 GB card I had used in another device previously), after it did the scan and fix, it generated a very long list of bad sectors, etc. and the result was an effective loss of most of the contents.
After the "fix", I reformatted and copied everything back without a problem.

Also... is this when its plugged in? I have noticed that mine likes to go into DISK MODE everytime I plug in the USB to charge. After I chnaged that in settings, I found my cable is slightly bad because if it moves the wrong direction, it pops it into disk mode again.

my apologies for posting in the wrong section i wont let it happen again. so ive tried pluging the phone into the pc to clear or format and my pc wont recognize it tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it and tried removing it ftom the phone and putting it in a reader directly into pc and still nothing. most likley i will go buy another today. i can access format sd card from clockwork mod but it stood idle for about 10 minutes saying formatting sd card is that normal i just removed the battery and stopped it

Sounds like you got a lemon. If this is the one you got with the phone I would call t-mo.

just got off the phone with tmobile they are gonna credit the cost of a new sd card to my account due to htc has no parts available. thanks guys for all the help. Happy Holidays!!

[Q] not enough storage space

i flashed WP7 today, everything went smoothly, and it seems nice and fast but it keeps popping up a message sayng that i don't have enough storage space and that i should delete some music/photos. obviously there's not much to delete so i assume that I'm either doing something wrong or the current build that's available out there can't access all the storage it should have been able to..
any ideas?

Connect your phone and start zune. In setting of zune, click phone, and in a sub setting there will be one called reserved space. Go on it, and you'll see a bar where you can increase or decrease space on your phone for apps and stuff.

great. will try this. thanks!

I have the same issue - Zune tells me that 83MB of memory is available, and 0MB is free. I have a 2GB card in the phone, so I suspect it's not picking it up. I hadn't formatted the card or anything, so perhaps I missed a step towards making it work..?

I figured it out - the first time I'd booted into WP7, I took the SD card out since it seemed to cause MAGLDR to attempt to boot into an old Android port. It seems WP7 will only use an SD card if it was present on the first boot. Reinstalling WP7 and keeping the SD card in for the first boot seemed to do the trick!
I don't know if there is an easier way to tell WP7 to detect an SD card, but this worked for me. Of course, it does involve resetting everything all over again, but at least the activation code works the second time too!

Have you format your microSd before flashing?

point to setting->About
Reset Your phone and waiting phone restart.
Connect to Zune and check your storage spaces.
I did it and have more than 1GB free spaces with 2GB microsd card.
Hope this help!

I tried it still not workiing I took out the SD cards and formatted it still its not working.

Removed

reset
Had the same problem... , solved!
Went to settings - about - reset phone.
Ok, you need setup everything again, but I now have far more than 3gb on a 4gb sd-card.
Hope this will help you!

I had the problem of the phone running out of storage space. (without using an sd card)
It is a very simple and quick fix.
All you need to do is:
1. Sync with Zune
2. Click on Settings
3. Click on Reserved Space
4. By default its set to 0% - increase it to at least 50%.
(This reserved space is for your emails, pictures, music, texts etc i believe)
5. Restart your phone.
You can check the amount of space on your phone by going to
On your phone click on
1. Settings
2. About
I hope this helps.
You will then have available storage.

I tried it like 2 times still it didnt work

in setting/about: it says..520 mb available (on 1gb card)...but zune doesnot see this even after changing the reserve space setting

tried everything still my avaliable space showing up is around 175 mb on a 2gb card . Even when I take out the card it showing the same amount of space I am pretty sure my card is working and I even increased the reserve space on the zune software.

any news on this? same problem here . I've tried both my 16GB SDHC that came with the phone and my 2GB. neither are recognized by the phone. I've tried allocating more reserve space but to no avail. This is what Im seeing after doing the registry modifications (with or without an SD card inserted on the phone.)

thank you very much... i got it finally......

i formatted my 8gb micro sd card on my comp before flashing.
then i flashed wp7 while i kept the sd card inside the phone.
it didnt format my sd card during flashing. i still have 6.3gb space when i check the space in wp7

ok, it was reported that for zune to work,you need atleast a 4gigs space...will try with bigger card
