Storage Card suddenly disappears - help - Touch HD General

I have been having this problem for sometime now, but I just had enough... Every so often, say a few weeks, my HD suddenly and without me doing anything special (i.e. installing a new program etc.), "looses" the storage card i.e. it cannot access it anymore. I need to reboot in order for HD to read it again. But then after a few minutes (enough for me to copy data from), it looses it again and so on. In order to correct it I have to reformat the card so it does not happen for a few weeks until the next time.
Note that this is the standard storage card that came with my HD. I did not flash any cooked roms, I am wearing the newest official version (1.56).
It just happend again... and I am getting p... off. Any help?

There´s already a thread discussing this point (here or in the rom development section of blackstone. i cant´t really remember) take a look at it.
so far i can say: try to format your card. if it doesn´t work try to format it using a digicam because a sd-card reader at your pc wouldn´t work either

Memory card disappeared!

Heya! I asked this is in the respective ROM-thread aswell, but noone seems to answer =p
I just installed a new ROM on my device (link can be found at bottom if needed). However, since the install, my file explorer no longer finds my memory card. It has on all previous roms, so I'm not sure what's wrong. Any ideas?

I would take out the sdcard softreset when it started again I would reinsert the sdcard
and see
My X2 has this huge problem too. Its very iritating, because SD card disappeare in hour from inserting to X2. Sometimes it solves when I remove and insert card again but usually I must soft reset. Is there exist any solution to fix this?

i had the same problem, i dont know if it has something to do with it but i think that disabling the "energy save" (or something like that) helped, now i see the card always, however:
I have an autorun app (Garmin), usually when you insert the memory card it asks to be executed...
Now i get that execution request like 3 or 4 times by day, meaning the card gets disconnected somehow..
I´ll try this, but where can I find energy save?
Em I only one who have this problem? There must be a fix. However the X2 is unusable...
happens to me to
X2 mem card that came with the phone (original rom)
one time its there next its not (may come back but most times i need to reinsert it or reboot my x2)
Hi guys,Had the same sd card problem with my x2 before,from a week it is visible all the time,first I start with removing the card and putting it back again,no results,than I formatted it with a card reader(be careful here should be formatted fat32) than it was stable for a while,than it started again,I don't know how I managed to fix it but I installed some program called SKKV.Software.SKTools.v4.1.25.4 and formatted the card from the menu there than put all my contents back again from my pc through active sync and now more than a week it is there working every time I try to enter it,hope that I've help wish u luck

A few apps think SD card missing, full, and/or empty.

Recently found the "Recent Documents" showing nothing but black screen with "SD card is full or missing". Searched, and found just a few threads with a few fixes that didn't work. Lived with it, as I don't really use it. Today, I noticed "Settings>SD card and phone storage" shows 0.00 MB for Total, used, and Free SD card memory, when it's actually not quite half full right now (16g TMOUS version).
Testing just now, the camera is set to SD card for storage, but still puts the pics in \App. Data\HTC\HTC Album.
The SD card still works fine, everything is there, and other apps can use it fine. Resco properly shows total/used/free sizing. All apps on the card also work fine. 1st WinMo phone, so still learning things, and not entirely sure whats Sense and what isn't, but so far I think it's sense related only?
I did delete a bunch of sizable image cache files assuming they'd be recreated, which they did for everything I've checked that's not on the sd card.
No ideas?
hi, i have exactly the same problem. i already wrote a text to post in forums because i cant find anything on the internet about this problem.
my text: said:
im using different anja31 roms (Back to the roots FT2 base 161 / Next Generation 202 / and actually One Step Further 6.5.x) and have a strange effect with sense and my sdcard on all of them (not sure if i had this with 1.48 stockrom i used before). somtimes when i do a softreset, something went terribly wrong with manila. when you go to the settings tab and choose 'sdcard and phone storage', the sdcard is shown with 0.00mb at all/used/free. normaly it shows the amounts or if there is no card inserted it shows a text about that (see the attached pictures).
when i use the tool supplied by microsoft the correct amounts of the card is shown, also 99.9% of all programms have normal access to the sdcard. the only exceptions i found are the build in voicerecorder and the document tab. when my device is in that '0.00mb' state both programms refuse to work because there is no space on the card.
till now i tried to:
- take out and back in the card.
- softreset with/without card inserted.
- take out and back in the battery with/without card inserted.
- hardreset and restore a backup, (this only helps if the error was not already present at the time the backup is taken).
non of this helps, the card still shows 0.00mb in the manila settings, its like manila/sense refuse to read the card parameters again and use the old one over again and again. the only way to recover at the moment is to hardreset and hope that the last backup dosent have the bug already in. because if so i have to step back in my backup history and take older snapshots. i use sktools for backups.
does anybody else have this strange phenomenon? i think about using a different rom like artemis or ride the tube, but i dont want to make everything new from scratch (i never use backups when doing a rom change, to prevent side effects) only to discover the same problem again.

finaly (and because anja stopped rom developing) i gave up on this, and change to a ride the tube rom. the problem is not showing again, but this have nothing to say because the other roms are working for weeks without problems and then suddenly showup the error.
sorry that i cant help you, its more saying 'you are not alone'.
regards mad
ps. the first tow screenshoots show the 'normal' display with/without a card inserted. the third shows how it looks when the error came up, regardless if a card is inserted or not.
*EDIT:21.04.09* the rom has nothing to do wiht it. i could reproduce the problem 2 times, with the new installed rtt rtm3 rom. first time i disable/enable sense under the todayplugin settings to restart it. the result was a crash of sense and after a soft reset the sdcard shows 0.00mb. the second time i installed jetcetprint and worldcard mobile from a cab, after a softreset the sdcard was gone again.
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!

I cant turn my phone off

For some reason i cant turn my phone off. I've used 5 different versions of android and the first two roms worked fine, i could turn my phone off normally and start android right up again. But for some reason i get the error cant find rootfs on root of sd card when i try and reboot my phone after the first boot. so basically my phone cant run out of battery otherwise i have to clear out my memory card and redo everything all over again.
i dont know why this is happening but i am currently running on Omega v13 gtx rom.
Please help me try and find a way to fix it because it really sucks having to reformat my memory card every time my phone dies. Thank you
Reformat (2 or 3 times) and reinstall.
Ensure you read the "readme" file from whatever rom you are using on the SD card.
Last ditch.... consider that HTC is sending new SD cards to those who call and complain their card is unrecognized. (You may have a bad card; and HTC will replace for free.... Search these forums for info).....
i've tried that and i still havent been able to get things fixed, and im pretty sure my sd card isnt defective since only the newer builds have been doing this

PLS HELP! Android crashed down after one month od EXCELENT use???!!!

Hello,
sorry it there is already thread, in that case, pls give me the links..
SO, after using Android on HD2 for one month WITHOUT any problems.. today i got:
activity phone in process com.android.phone is not respondind
Also, after restart, on first call i got robot voice... second call i cant hear anything..
SO, WTF happened?
I did not install any aps, or uninstal... i just dont get it!
Thnx
Have you tried reinstalling the Rom to see if the problem is still there?
yes.. i deleted old android folder, and instaled it again, same thing.. my win mob 6.5 works fine..
Dont know what could happened..
When the message comes up, did you ever press wait? This happened me once and I just pressed wait and after about 1 - 2 minutes it comes on and works fine for the rest of the time I use it. If that doesn't help, then I guess you just have to install a new build.
ok, will try.
thnx
And it happened... also couple days ago it also hapened, but afret half hour everything was ok...
Every time (first, last, and now third) i:
- restarted android
- restarted launcher
- make couple calls with win mobile (aok there...)
- boot to win, make call, restart again boot win.. unmount sd, restart with sd in, and then booted android again
- pressed wait wher error popout
- turned sync and apn off
And this time, cant solve the problem....
Pls, wtf?! And I can't find topic here.....

SD builds for me have always ran great for some amount of time, then start messing up out of nowhere. What happens, as I understand it, is that blocks of memory in your sd card become corrupted after awhile of running Android from the card.
Best thing you can do to cope with this set of circumstances is:
1. Back up the contents of your sd card to your comp, and do a full format on the card before installing an SD build. This will reduce the frequency of corruption problems.
2. Once you get your build set up how you like it, back up your entire Android folder onto your comp. Do this once a week or so, and you can delete the old folders after each new backup to conserve space. Then if you encounter sd/data corruption again, you can backup and format your card, and drop your content and backed up Android folder back on it and be up and running again with minimal loss.
3. Forget Windows Mobile and sd builds and go NAND. It's more stable in the long term, and uses less battery because it isn't constantly reading from and writing to the sd card. Plus NAND is the manly thing to do, sd builds are for girlymen

[Q] Last Try ! I'm sick and tired...

I've got a HD2 just to try wp7. After some careful reading manages to install, and it was booting and used the basic features for couple of hours without any issues, until i wanted to try out maps,,,, The HD2 got stuck and went to a boot loop.
After checking so much for the one and a half day (I'm so tired and sleepy) i'm sick of this phone. I ve seen many posts regarding this issue, but no one seem to post a clear answer that rectifies the issue. Yes i've tried task 29 and gone back to wm 6.5 as well. Anything else i'm missing here.
If i keep the battery off for about 10 mins or so then it boots up properly, but not all the time. I cannot use any most of the features, only texting and calling. If anything else is launched (IE, People, A/C config...) goes back to the boot loop. WTF
Pls guys help me. well i'm a complete nOOb for this and sorry for the long post.
I am by no means an expert here, but have you tried a different SD card? When I first flashed my HD2, when WP7 was first available for it, my SD card was incompatible and it was constantly rebooting. Some SD cards are incompatible with WP7, even the ones that originally shipped with the HD2.
I know how you feel... that's exactly what happened to me. OMCA1A's right, Try a new SD Card and you should be good to go.
Which method you use ? Zune or 1 shot install
Did you have wp7 on hd2 before trying to install This rom? Was the sd card working?
Did you unlock/ reformat sd card or install straight over?
as already mentioned it can be the SD card and is most likely the SD card in your case, how you install it, cabs or zune or whatever doesnt make the slightest difference, anyone using any card that is not certified to work with WP7 stands the risk of running in to the restart issue.
it might not happen today, it might not be next month or even year, but potentially the restart issue can rear its head when xx% of storage space free is hit
i say xx because it could be anything from 1 -100.
Peronally i find that dumping a few hundred meg of music on gets past these dodgy areas, like just now, if i remove 12MB of data from my device it will start restarting, i can replicate this, if i do a reflash i have to install at least 200MB of music before doing anything, 600MB on top of that i get more restarts so dumped another 200MB of music, installed navigon, restart issues, install 50MB of music all fine again, that its a pain in the arse but its workable, it just means i have a lot of music i will never listen too on my device
Sorry I seriously gave up on my HD2 and was using my sisters old LG phone (Sucked big time ) Yes OMAC1A I have tried 4 different SD cards, so I doubt it’s the SD card.
Moschino02 What do u mean by Zune or one shot install ? I installed the normal way here are the steps I did.
Did task29
Installed latest radio
Installed MAGLDR
Then the wp7 ROM bu running a DWI.exe
Well after I got tired I did install it over and over and over. Yes the cards were working fine on my x10i
dazza9075 The SD I used was empty.
Also guys like I mentioned I only cannot use any of the smart phone features, if I get in to maps or IE or any other task which consumes a lot of CPU, it happens.
I will try one more SD card cos u guys insist and if it doesn’t I’m seriously gonna sell it off for scrap if u want let me know it’s gonna be dirt cheap I can’t tolerate this anymore.
Also one more thing guys, i've tried android as well, a 2.2 desire ROM and a MIUI ROM. Some times it gets stuck on start up it self or on the initial setup. That to me doesn't sound like a SD card issue.
Also it overheats
You tried with Sandisk class 4\6 SD cards, right? Cuz those are the only ones that have a decent chance of working.
Overheating of the HD2 is a common problem, saw many of these phones being sold on ebay with that problem...
I have the same problem... Still trying to fix it... But I know the problem comes when the phone tries to access the SD card (sandisk).

So after you install wp7 rom by running dwi.exe ( you mean v2native rom, right?)
What did you do? Did zune find updates to mango? Or did you install mango by sending cabs? What version are you on?
Moschino02 - Yes it says,
Name: HTC HD7 T9292
OS Version: 7.0.7392.0
Also i have tried other ROM as well, did not have any luck. Even at this very moment it goes through a boot loop. Just tried accessing HTC hub and it went off.
After installing sometimes it reboots or i have to manually do it by removing the battery or a by a soft reset. Yes zune finds updates but i cant update. When the rebooting point comes it never reboots to the OS just goes to a boot loop. *@#^&%$
I have used the following,
Verbatim 2GB micro SD
Unbranded 8 GB Micro SDHC
Kingmax 2GB Micro SD
Sandisk 4GB Micro SD
and none of them worked.
jinge - I dont think so. Initially i thought the same. And i removed my SD card to see but the problems kept continuing.
IF its a SD card incompatibility issue the HD2 should work fine with android. It boots only up to the initial start up screen doesn't go beyond that. MIUI is the closest i got but that too gave problems.
I'm seriously sick of the hd2 guys and i hate it i wish i could show it to you'll.
This has to be a hardware fault. IS IT ????????
