Hello I have had a look at the wiki and still could not find the answer to my problem, so I decided to post.
I seem to be having trouble with my new Memory card for my TyTn. I just bought a 4gb microSDHC from the shop. I put a single song on it and put it in my phone. When I checked the memory it says this:
“Total storage card memory: Not installed”
Does this mean there is something wrong with the card or do I need to install something.
Cheers
Are you running a wm6 rom? high capacity sd is not supported on a stock tytn. Check the Windows Mobile 6 forum and look for a cooked rom that supports SDHC. I recommend the schaps 3.60a cooked rom. Been runnin it for a couple weeks now and im pleased with the speed/stability.
Thanks for your response Surrept, I have installed the schaps 3.60a-0823_full and the phone looks great now…but I still have the same problem with the memory, any other suggestions?
Umm, should I take the memory card back to the shop, and if so what is the best one that will work with my phone?
Can anyone help please

Last thing to try:
Reformat the card using the PC Fat 16 or 32
Check size shown on PC is correct.
Try again on your Hermes.
If it does not show up, reset with the card in place.
Try again.
If it fails again - do a hard reset with the card in place.
If all that fails, then return to the shop. There is no more you can do. Since the card is not faulty, you will be a bit at their mercy. It will be a gamble to get another 4gb card, a 2 may be safer. However if it's the contacts in the phone then no card will work correctly.

Thanks!
My friend had a look at the phone and said he had no idea what to do, he handed it back and the card just started working! Wow! Is it great how that works some times.
Like title say id like to find out how do i format my MicroSD card on my phone and/or computer while connected to phone.
thanks for help
i want to bring this topic to front once more and for the last time. the deal is my card is corrupted so i have to format it- deleting broken files dont help.
any ideas?
Get a program that does it for you like Resco Explorer. An alternative (which you don't seem to want) is to insert the card into a card reader connected to a computer and format that way in "My Computer."
i dont have a card reader and resco explorer is payable isnt it? thanks for your answer

"cant format selected storage card. check if card is unlocked." in Resco when i press format. everything is unloaded, i tried to format the moment i put the card in... any ideas?
I have the same problem, i can still use the files on my card, but cant remove/format them or add any new files. for some reason my card is write protected, though it doesnt have a physical switch. For some reason there is a software lock that is activated by unkown reasons, it happend to mine by disrupting file synchronising by pulling the cable out of the phone... (or at least that is what i think.
I have searched the internet for many hours, i have read about people with the same problem. only solution is: return it to the point where you bought it and use your warrenty, I believe it is like 3 years. I cant do it because i threw away the receipt. So only option left for me is buy a new card... they arent that expensive anyway these days....
So if someone does know a solution please let me know, but I dont think there is any...

PS. i have sandisk 8gb
You two have 2 options:
1. Use trial verison of Resco
2. Or, take the MicroSD card out and use a USB card reader and mount it in the PC and format it thru Windows.
I used the 2nd one.
first option doesnt work cause (if you read my and teunl's post) resco cant format it
second option doesnt work if you dont have a card reader. cause i only have one 8GB card and i dont see any reason to have a usb card reader when i have a usb connection to my phone.
so.. any other options please? thanks!

Yeah, well now you have a reason. Go down to Best Buy and pick up a card reader they're only $19.95.

Yeah, I have that same problem. Can't format, neither using Resco Explorer nor a card reader, can't copy files, delete files, move files, anything... but my files are still there! Any changes I apply to the card, if I soft reset my Cruise they are gone, but I can still see my files.
Seems to me that the card's FAT is corrupt or stuck, and can't be modified. Mine still has warranty, so I'll have to use it.
BTW, it's a Sandisk too, SDHC 6gb.
i dont have a warranty anymore so i can throw all 8GB away? come on stop acting stupid and let someone who has any clue about this to say something

Not to be rude, but with your time wasted here you can pick up a new 8gb microSD card with a reader on Ebay for $15.75 US dollars. Look up auction item 320324507199.
Hello, I also had the same problem but only until I have put on my phone the latest official HTC Rom. I was curios what happened and I have seen that with the new ROM when I insert the storage card into the phone automatically it's created on it a file named "EncFiltLog.menc" (it dose not matter if you install the new ROM with the card inside or not). I believe this file is the cause why we can not format the storage card (I can see this file on the PC when I place the storage card in the card reader). I have search the web for a solution but I had found nothing, so for me the solution was to buy a card reader and now I can format the storage card and copy files on it much more faster than via activesync. I hope I was helpful.

do i have to repeat myself? -.- i aint buying new card or card reader to read one single card in its lifetime. i dont have big daddy to budget me. i rather sell my TC
..
now that i see cicads answer it seems that i aint getting any usefull help here. thanks everyone for your kind of help, tho i cant call "throw away 25 euros and waste another, and if you get lucky in a year or so you will have to waste yet another 25 euros etc" help to be helpfull
DEEP regards
Like i said before, there isnt any solution available... I have searched the internet, forums etc etc etc....
If your problems are the same as i discribed, then your just ****ed.. card is corupted. if it happened because of the official htc rom that would suck
though i have a card reader, but it still doesnt work for me.
corrupted card=no solution as of yet. Well unless you include warranty and throwing it away and buying a new one.
Sorry but as far as I know there isn't anyone who can help you (and me) if you ever find a solution, let me know.
Good luck

Ok, let's cut to the chase: your card is corrupt, and there's nothing you can do about it. You won't be able to format it in any way. Well, you can always try tools like HP USB disk storage format tool, but you have to buy a cheap $5 USB card reader first.Anyway, I doubt it'll work.
You don't have warranty? Pitty. Yeah, throw away your 8gb card, and buy another one.
Are you angry about that? I would be too. Well... s%|t happens, live with it.

ROFL ok someone sticky this please, really useful material in here
and btw Einstein, its not the card that is corrupt its the data
UNBELIEVABLE!!! my Storage Card of my Touch HD just disappearred! it is the original 8 GB SD card that acompanied with the phone;
both in terms of device and PC platform, its just gone and left no reason,
I'm so f* disappointed... anyone has the same problem here??
btw, like usually what i do for my phone:
I had flashing ROM for several times today, but I don't think that causes trouble;
and I've also changed my start Menu icon, cos the original one is the way too drab;
on the other hand, I did 'clear storage' for my blackstone as well..
whatever, I don't want to lose my data on that SD card, any help will be grateful!!!
Is the card not recognized, or is it just empty?

its not recognized, there is no 'storage card' folder where it is used to be, so I can't even format my sd card, despite some said this should recover this problem...
What happens when you use a card reader on your PC?

sorry, a card reader?
usually when i connect my phone to PC a dialogue will be popped up on the phone's screen and ask me if i want to choose 1 of 3 modes of connection, and I normally choose the synchronous one (can't remember what it's called);
on the other side, I can directly open the storage card folder when the phone and PC were connected
and within phone's memory management, it shows storage card memory not installed...

You plug it into your USB port. If there is no problem with the card outside your phone, then you might have to hardreset the phone.
My original 8GB card also died and wouldn't be recognised in any device. I have replaced it and all is ok so far.

Hi JR_de,
I really appreciate your help with regard to my problem, but I don't have this equipment atm, so I can't ensure whether its my phone's problem or the Micro SD card's.
the card just seems unreasonably disfunctioning, I think I have to return the phone to my contract seller and see if there is any sulotion to this.....

No i got a new one, the old one is totally dead.
there is an option under settings > connections > USB to PC, from there u can decide if you want the card to appear as a storage card on pc, or connect via active sync, which would show the card under pc and phone, if you select "disk drive" under that option, it will not be visible inside the phone under file explorer, it states it there, unless its somthin else

I usually activesync over Bluetooth hence phone set to Disk Drive when connected through USB. I can still access storage card, so I assume the card probably will need a reformat using a card reader.

thanks for your information, but I'm always choose the 'activesync' one, so I think this may not the cause of it

Is that possible to get one card reader from local phone accessories store(something like that)? and how much it gonna costs?
Hey all,
This morning I have noticed that the "storage card" option isn't showing in file explorer. If I click on the drop down box at top left of the screen, the only option I see is "my device" Yesterday the storage card was visible in the file explorer, but today is isn't there.
I have tried taking the SDHC out of my HD2, and re-inserting, but nothing. Plus I am currently charging the HD2 via my PC, and the "autoPlay" pops up on my screen for the SDHC, while it's inserted in the HD2.
Any ideas why I can't get the SDHC to show up on my device?
Cheers.
take the storage card out of the phone and restart the phone, use file explorer to search and see if you see a file called storage card, if you do, then rename it to storage card2 or something similar, insert your 16gb card back in into the phone again and delete the one you called storage card 2.
I have had a similar problem like this before and the steps above resolved the issue. I think it was caused when i connected to the laptop and picked use phone as a disk drive instead of active sync.
The steps above worked for a 4gig card but I also have a 16Gb card which is not recognised by the phone or laptop anymore and I have seen similar threads with this issue and hope that you card is not faulty.

This probably has to do with choosing 'disc drive' instead of ActiveSync; so when your phone is connected to your PC it will open to see the files on your phone (like it would with an external hard disc or USB stick).

That's didn't work.
I'm quite sure the SD card ain't faulty, as my PC is able to read it, no problem at all. It's just the HD2 ain't reading it today, but was reading if fine yesterday.

Don't be too sure your card is ok. I had the same problem as you, I was able to copy files to the card, seemingly without problems, but when I took a closer look at the copied files on the card, they turned out to be corrupt. Testing the card showed the card was defective. I also had the problem of the card not showing up in the file explorer on my phone.

i had this same issue and managed to resolve it by changing the name back
Argh, I am SO dumb!
It was because I had the HD2 connected via USB on charge, so as the card was read by the PC, the HD2 won't read the card while connected to the PC.
I should have remembered this when I had a windows phone (T-Mobile vario III) 18 months ago, Do'h! Since then I have been on Blackberry for the past 18 months, but am now back on Windows Mobile
Now the only other thing I need to resolve/fix is the fact that Windows Mobile Device Centre / ActiveSync will not work when I am connecting the HD2 to my PC via USB. Very, very annoying!
My Universal is an xda exec, i bought it (second hand) and it would sometimes work with a 3 sim card and sometimes not. I tried and failed to put a new rom on it so had to ask my brother to fix it. He did and put an old 6.1 version on it. This rom would reconise my 3sim straight away no problems.
I have now upgraded to tomal 8.something and its back to not reconising the 3sim. I had it working last night with the free sim after randomly changing settings. I then installed a media streamer because tomal doesnt come with 1(strange by the way) but yotube no longer gave me the option to 'play' the video.
How do I get the this to work with my 3 sim card?
Are there a setof instructions I should follow in a certain order? before i just played with them randomly constantly swopping backwards and forth between my 02 and 3 sim untill it reconised it, which seemingly by itself it would.... but now it wont.
Is there a program or app I can store on my SD card for the next time I have to hard reset?
I know it works with 3 because the other rom did and both the original and this 1 does when it wants to. Now I am having to use my old crappy sony ericsson and I hate it. Help me out please people, for this I promise given the program or correct instructions order I will donate.
When you have read this if you know or not please leave a comment on what you think is going on, right or wrong, its doing my head in big time.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to your views and replies, cheers peeps, I'd be lost without this website.....
pleeeeeeease dont tell me to read orb3000s stig...
my only internet access is my 2 phones, Im writing this with the execm with the internet limited 02 sim in the exec while my unlimited 3sim is in the joke of a phone w580i.
Reading instructions on here are hard work and stressful lol The search button on this site never directs me where I want to go.
If the info I need is in orbs stig be a pal and copy and paste it here please people.
Once again...... thanks for reading and your time
try with SIM-Unlock to get work your simcard, for apps to can be store to storage card use SKTools or any other programs !! SKTools ~ http://s-k-tools.com/?sktools/m_feat.html
