Hi,
I am a newbie so please be patient with me.
I'm not sure whether this is the correct forum, so I'll post the same post in upgarde as well - please forgive me if I made a mistake.
I got 2 wizards off eBay (seperately), and they seem to work fine.
I upgraded to wm6.5 after reading your great instructions. It seems that I succeeded in that.
However, I tried to put mini SD cards but they are not recognized, and I'm tearing my hair out. I started with 4GB cards, but they were not recognized. I returned the cards, after reading that the wizard doesn't support more than 2GB. I got now 2 GB cards, but they are not recognized either.
What's going on here? is it the upgrade, or what?
Is there something I should have done - a patch or something?
I find it hard to believe that the fault is in the phones, since it's the same with both of them - I believe it's a small chance that both of them are faulty in reading cards.
Please help - I am desperate.
Thanks!
well it seems that the rom you flashed has problems with storage card drivers this is common in certain 6.5 roms it even happen in one of mine.
just flash an official wm5 rom to test the sd... if it works then you know the 6.5 rom you have is broken.
Thanks Faria, I'll do tht and inform.
In order to downgrade to WM5 do I have to simply flash the official WM5 or there any other steps?
After I've done that, and presuambly that my SD cards are recognised, can you recomend me a good WM6.5 that will not cause problems, and I'll be able to use?
Thanks again!

Hi again,
No luck - flashe dto official WM5, and after that to WM6.1
In both cases not recognized. Any other suggestions for my strange situation?
Thanks!
Well, the card was sitting fine in the slot - clicking and making the turned off phone to react and turned on. However, I decided to simply add pressure to the card and see if there's any difference. So.... I stuck a little piece of plastic in the slot. Magic: hard-reset, and than it was recognised and works perfect!
Is that stupid or what? I did it on both 2 phones and it's working. May I suggest it's a real defekt in the design of the Wizard...?
are you certain that the card is not an SDHC??

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.
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.
Hi,
After a long history with successful 6.5 updates I thought I'd try WM 7!
I've read the storage card posts and tried a hard reset both with my card and without but always get to the same Storage Card not working error.
I don't have a Nokia to reformat my card but have tried reformatting on the PC.
There is a bit I haven't been able to follow using magdlr 'services' option - how do i stop WM7 from booting and get back to the magdlr menus?
Some advice for a noobie please - don't want to brick my phone but not that fond of the Storage Card Not Working screen either!

I'm sorry to hear about your issues. The micro SD card you've fit in your phone is too slow to cope with the constant read/write imposed by the OS.
The card you've used is unusable unless you unlock it by sending the unlocker cab to your device, unlock it, then format it on your computer. You could also format it on a symbian, nokia device.
Unless you mention the specific part number of your micro DS and brand, I can't help you further, with regards to compatibility, however, some models are proven to work flawlessly on WP7 powered HD2. ( such as sandisk 32 GB)
Make sure to further research, and hopefully you get this sorted out
only old Yuki (Back to the future) ROM lock cards...
all new ROM's not lock cards and unlocking or formatting with nokia device not necessary
if card not working: simple, not supported.. you must buy new card...
you cant brick phone... just read my install tutorial from signature if you something dont know...
Thanks for advice.
For benefit of others the symptoms I had were down to initial install. I needed to use Magldr to free up last 24 of nand memory and then reflash. Now all working.
As ever none of the stickies quite cover everything, but your help and another google session saved the day.
Thanks to the developers! WP7 giving my phone an all new feel.
Hi
I jusr got my HD2 today, and just to see if I could get it to run something else than WM6.5, I installed WP7.8 and it worked great. But only thing was that my NOKIA 128MB SD-Card wouldn't be recognized by WP7.8 as it said that it has been damaged or replaced and I should reset the phone. After removing that SD-card and performing first-boot-configuration I put it back in, but still not recognized. It was recognized in the original WM6.5. Anyway, this isn't really an issue, as I'm going to get a new SD-card soon, so that I can run Android 4.x.x on it.
I have found this MicroSDHC-card: http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-SDC4...F8&qid=1358958006&sr=8-1&keywords=sdc4+16gbsp
I know that it isn't the fastest card, but it will work for me. Is the card compatible with the ICS and JB NAND-ROMS that are available?

Yes, it will work. You may wish to consider Sandisk as well - Kingston did not perform all that well in comparison (see sd link in my signature for more info).

Thanks for your reply. I dont need anything that performs better, but I just need to have something that will work

Put that card on computer and format it to ntfs and after that do a fat 32 format.
I had a 16gb card that failed working on phone and when tried formatting it on pc it wouldn't do it; then I thought lets try ntfs and it fixed it.
Give it a try.
I still use my htc universal, never stopped using it in fact, and recently it was totally crashed, so I flashed it to another rom and tried 2 other roms including the 1 I used first, and each time the sd card isn't detected.
What is likely is that for some reason, the sd card reader of my device simply don't work anymore, all of sudden. I just want to know if this happened to someone else so I may be more sure about that.
SD Card
Hello,
Try replacing your SD Card with a new one. If that does not work. Do a sprite backup on your device. Then do a hard reset. Try your new SD card before restoring your rom after doing a hard reset. Let me know so I can walk your through. This is the best rom for the Qtek 9000 Windows Mobile 6.5.5 Build 23566 Sun_dreams Rom
Sincerely yours,
Robert

I did but it still didn't work, I gave up since, my uni being damaged on many other parts I wasn't using much memory now anyway, thanks for answering though.
