**Please Help**Access Denied while writing to SD card from PC after inserting in HD2

Hi Guys,
I am facing one peculiar problem while writing to my MicroSD card from PC.
I just got 8gb card for my HD2. I tried it in my laptop it was working fine and showing me 7.90 GB space. But I read somewhere that we should format our card from HD2 first in order to optimize its performance. So I did same, inserted card in HD2 and format it.
Now after format, I can write on card while in HD2 but when I insert card in my laptop and try to write it I get error “Access is denied” and on top of that I am getting only 7.60GB space after format.
I can see one file in card “EncFiltLog.menc”. Don’t know if this causing the problem.
Guys need help how can I write to my card via PC.
Thanks in advance.

I take it you are using an adapter to sd size to insert it into you pc. Make sure you haven't flicked the write protection switch on the side of your adapter to "on" Failing that try connecting your hd via disk drive mode see if you can write files that way.
The EncFiltLog.menc is meant to be there. Im not sure what it is (its never bothered me to look) but ive got one and my diamond used to have one on it also. The 0.30mb will prob be that file and all the folders the hd creates setting up the sd card.

Micro SDHC 8GB card

Hello,
I'm having issues with my Micro SDHC 8GB card (class 6). Whenever I connect the MicroSD card to my diamond2 phone, it works for a while and then it disconnects (the phone does not detect that there is a microSD card connected). To get my phone to detect the card, I either manually remove the card from the phone and insert it back in, and if that doesn't work, I soft reset.
I don't think its because of the card since it works flawlessly on my computer and I don't think its from the ROM, since before updating to Dutty ROMS, I used to get the same issue.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards

Your card is likely going bad. The phone will lose it first then the PC.
You may want to back it up and reformat it.
I just lost my SanDisk 16gb after multiple times of reformatting it and eventually is would crash again. No physical damage to the card. Just couldn't take the rewriting and deletions....

Connection mode issue
When you connect your USB. You have 3 options. Active sync, internet sharing or Disk drive. I think your's might be in the disk drive mode. So it doesnt read in your windows as HTC Hero drive. But check out if there is another extra drive that shows on your My Computer. If it is so, select the option Active sync and you can see your Micro SD card there.
Thanks,
Raj

SD-Card not recognized after android-installation

Hello!
I just installed "Android 2.1 (Eclair) On HTC [27 Jun 2010] (V2.5a)" and got the "waiting for SDCard"-message.
After adding "msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave" it worked perfectly and I was able to start android.
After starting the photoalbum I restarted the phone to windows - but my sd-card wasn't recognized anymore
If I re-insert the card, it's there for about a second and then it's gone again...
I don't want to say that it has something to do with the installation of android, but it's kind of obvious, isn't it?

Format it with the hp tool (HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool) then try to reinstall Android.

The sd-card isn't even recognized by an extern sdhc-cardreader.
So I think it's dead.
How is that possible?

yup, it happened to me too, and i think that it does have to do with android
here is my fix:
set blackstone in card reader mode
remove the card from blackstone
connect blackstone to pc
prepare a command prompt window in windows and type format x: /q but do not press enter yet (x is the letter wich windows will alocate for card when connected)
insert the card into blackstone and fastly press enter on the earlier typed command (the card only stays visible for a second or two)
sometimes you can recover some of the files from the card with some undelete program

hmm, the problem is: my blackstone switches to activesync-mode automatically if there's no sd card present...

ok, got card reader mode working, but formatting fails due to an IOCTL error

try again, i may not remember the operations exactly but i got it fixed and i had exactly the same problem,
anyway, the ideea is important and not my tutorial exactly, the ideea is that card is formatable from windows in the first few seconds when it is visible in blackstone,
edit: i may also used wm5torage for this operation, try it too

Have the same problem... SD-card isn't recognized anymore by my Blackstone
Going to try the hints in this thread

hi,
my 16 gb sandisk card broke a while ago while trying android on my blackstone.
The phone sees the card only for like 5 seconds, same happens when plugging it to the computer.
In the card reader the drive shows up, but i cant do anything with it.
I have tried soo many things:
Tried the panasonic. hp and sd formatter
From the phone, tried flash format, storagetools, pocket mechanic
Also combined it with cardexport or wm5torage
Today i found out the drive stays available while connected to the card reader, im downloading a couple of partition managers, will report back.
Anyone successfully fixed their sd card?
EDIT
I put my card in a couple of compact camera's, one camera could format the card and it started working.

I bought a new sd card now
But i will try to format the old one with a camera, that's a very good idea!

Okay, formating with a camera actually worked!!
Thank you!

[Q] No Sd Card

First i would like to thank you all for some interesting reading
i have just recieved my DHD and love it, my problem is that my sd card shows up just fine on the phone telling me i can unmount it and available space blah,blah, on the same screen when i connect it to the pc running windows 7 as soon as i select disk drive the sd card is un-mounted and then it is not visible in windows explorer also i have removed the sd card and placed it in my pc manualy and sits there looking for drivers
thanks in advance Mick

I assume you have selected "DISK DRIVE" from the drop down list that appears when you connect a USB cable? If so, this is most likely a Windows driver problem. So you might need the HTC drivers.
If you install HTC Sync (found on the card supplied with the phone) that should install the appropriate drivers. If it's not there, go to the HTC website and download latest HTC Sync version.
Can you try a USB stick or a standard card in the card reader of you PC and see if they work?
It could be a faulty SD card, I had problems with the one sent with my phone and had to replace it. All working ok now.

hi thanks for your reply i have done all of the above but still no joy, if the sd card was faulty i would assume it wouldnt work with the phone at all, the only thing i havnt tried is install the htc syn on my laptop to see if its a windows 7 issue or issue with my setup
otherwise i will have to wait and see what htc say about my issue
Cheers
Mick

Wait so let me get this right...
SD card in phone - Works
SD card in phone, hooked to computer using USB and selecting Disk Drive - Does not work (cannot see in Windows)
SD card directly in computer - Does not work...
Sounds like your issue is with Windows, not with HTC or your SD card...
Are you on a work computer by any chance? Can you plug normal USB flash drives in OK?
Either you're missing the Mass Storage driver or it's been disabled on your computer.

SD cards not recognized on my new HD2

Hi everyone
Bought my HD2 a couople of weeks ago. Since I recieved I have not been able to mount my sd cards. I have 2 8gb adata ones both class 6 and one 8gb bought from **** smith electronics (a class 4).
I have tried formatting with SDformatter from the sd association and with EASEUS partition master. Both don't seem to have any effect on my hd2 mounting the cards.
The funny thing is though when I use magdlr and use the usb mass storage function with the sd card in, on my pc it recognizes the mass storage and I can copy files to the sd card and then put the sd card in a card reader and the files are there.
I have tried mounting the sd card in a couple of nand android builds and the official windows 6.5 rom for LEO but to no avail. Phone still does not recognize sd card.
Any help or ideas on what I can do? Really want to have wp7 with 720p video recording

I'm sure you know this but on the cm7 builds I use when you connect USB you have to jump to pull down notification screen, tap USB connected and then tap "turn on USB storage " before it shows up to your PC.

have you installed automount from the market?

Yes I did try automount but that didn't work. I am just hoping that it is not a hardware fault. But the usb mass storage feature in magdlr worked for copying files to the sd card

be alittle carefull with the magldr mount, it doesnt handle larger files well apparently. cwm has a mount option that works well.

I am having this kind of problem too and bought a card from austrailia. problem is my HD 2 reads my 2 gb card but when i pop a 16 gb , it freezes. On my pc however it reads the card and i can store data
Formatted the thing and no effect. would love some advice as well. It is a class 2
