Hi , i just got a new sandisk 4gb microsd. The card works fine except when i softreset, it wont go to the homescreen, it will keep rebooting without an end!
Ive been reading on the internet and for some people the solution was to renaming the file omap850_sdhc.dll to omap850_sdhc.dll.old in the windows folder.
But on my htc p4350 with the official vodafone wm6 , that file seems to be part of the rom and cant be edited ! Ive tried totalcommander, resco explorer.
Does anyone have a solution for this or is familiar with this problem??
Thanks
What happens if you take the card out, reboot, then put it back in?

That works , but thats just not what i want.
Hi Phusio,
I have the same problem. Have you found a solution yet?
the windows sdhc card driver probably messed up...that or you installed something on the card that should've been installed on the phone..and now your windows is confused...hehe
there are several solutions... i don't know any that work on all devices
it's been discussed many times... try searching for boot-loop or stuck at splash screen... something along those lines.
the easiest solution is to hard reset...
if you're card is clean that's even better cuz then you can organize it very nice and neat..
Doing a hard reset is not an option for me.
Several other threads have discussed the option of deleting/renaming the omap650sdhc.dll followed by a soft-reset. But this dll is in rom and cannot be deleted. Tried Total Commander and Resco Explorer, but no chance.
Guess I will wait until I'm fed up enough to do a hard-reset.
i had that same problem with my new MicroSD 4GB card.
All i did was:
Turn the phone off and take battery + SIM out.
Turn in your MicroSD card and start it up.
When it's fully booted take the battery out without turning the phone off and put the sim back in.
Then turn it back on and hope for the best.
It worked for me.
my SD card keeps disapearing from my windows explorer and i have to take it out and reinsert it to make it work again. Anyone with wm6 on BA having the same problem?
I think this is hardware problem: dirty connection on card or in the device. I had similar problem with one card.
Can be also card problem.
Could it also be related to the rom? I have this same problem after my last flashing and I think I hve read about others experiencing this after reflashing to a particular rom.
I had this problem with WM2003 but after upgrading to WM6, I never faced this issue.
sad to say i have the same issue till finally it cannot show any cards at all.
i sent the device to several people even outside country and they confirmed it's an IC failure and has to be replaced.
i still did not do it...
I am currently using pdaviet rom. I didnt try another one to check if its a rom related problem. had an alpine before and noticed this problem also but it rarelly happened then.
My brother said that he had this problem too, but he solved it. It was since he installed a software called 'Storage Tools'. Did you do the same with your handheld?
My brother solved this just by uninstalling the software.
Okay, i hope this'd be useful.
I experienced this numerous times while using the original WM2003SE, but since upgrading to WM6 I have not had it once. The only thing I had (one time) was my card being seen as Storage Card2 and I also showed a Storage Card folder but it was not my card. I deleted it and reinserted the card and soft reset and all went back to normal.
This may also have to do with the sd card going to sleep and not waking up in which case it is software related and not hardware. Maybe setting the card not to go to sleep will solve the problem though with battery draining faster. Anyone know the setting or registry edit for this?
Upgrading to wm6.1
Try upgrading to ROM6.1, I had mine constantly missing too when I flashed to wm6. Now the problem settled. I am using PDAViet wm6.1, very stable.
This trouble was on my IPAQ rx1950 (it was before BA). Try to format\defrag your card, better in FAT (<2gb).
I have this problem in WM6, upgrade to WM6.1 solved it.
go and buy now you n000000bss
yes upgrading to wm6.1 solved this problem also.
mechanical problem
I have trouble with taking out the SD-card of the slot. Does anybody have an idea how to solve this problem ?
try dissasembling it... i know there's a post here with a link to the pictures on the steps how to do it.
then you can see how your SD got stuck.
Hi, since I upgraded my SPL to 1.54/1.56, i've tried installing both Dutty WM6.1 v2.9 and Mira WM6.5 v8.1 but neither of them seems to like my storage card, i have to do soft reset for it to recognise the card, but after a while the card will disappear again...
any1 got the same problem or know how to fix it please?
Thanks

I've seen one other user with the same issue. What type / brand of SD card are you using? Trying to narrow down what is causing this... he had the same issue with same rom(s).
its the SanDisk 8GB SDHC one - one that came by default with Orange UK contract.
Btw, I did upgrade to the offcial 1.54/56 ROM before upgrading to the 2 ROMs above.

Maybe it's got to do with the power management policies the Chef applied. Try to use schaps' Advanced Config 3.3 to disable SD Card Power Management and see if it helps.
Also, some caches and DMA could be the culprits but first let's see about power management.
The Power Management is disabled.
Also, 1 thing I particularly noticed is when I open Windows Media player, attempt to update my library on storage card, it can find all my music files, but when it attempt to add the music to the library, it doesnt. and then the sd card disappear from File Explorer, WMP libary option.
Backup your sd card to your PC, and reformat it. Had the same problem, fixed with a format

I have the same SanDisk8GB SDHC one - default card which came with the phone. Same thing happned. It has become very slow to access, and practically useless, the phone cannot detect the card. If put into the computer with the adapter then also it is the same computer cannot read it or sometimes takes too long, cannot format. this happened after the 1.54/56 rom.
Happened to me also with some custom ROM.
I used my warranty to exchange the SD card.
My advice : backup your SD card when you can, from time to time.
Same Thing
Same thing happenned to my card. Same default card that came with the phone. But I have SPL 1.14 which I have had for a while now. I just flashed to a Miri ROM and it started happenning. I will try reformatting to see if it helps.
did you remove the sd-card when you flashed?

I am "others" too.
I tried every hint I could find on the forum including disabeling the SD card power management and setting the PnP values higher.
Nothing works (and I have a Apacer 8GB card)
For me it narrowed down to:
1) Hardware faulty or
2) Hardware cannot "cope" with 8GB .
I've called HTC in the US - which where very friendly brw - and the lady said that most handsets are only guaranteed / tested to work with 4GB cards, Although there are other handsets in other countries who where sold with an 8GB card as a bundle.
Today I called HTC "support" centre in "New Zealand" and the phillipin/indian/nepalese customer service lady told me that my handset had been parallel imported and therefore needs to be send back to the NETHERLANDS for a diagnosis / repair!
I told her that if she would'nt give the number of their authorised repair centre in NZ I might have to think to contact Ministry for consumer law. So I got the number and I will go there now, cheking what the story is..will keep you updated.

I doubt that the new SPL 1.54/1.56 is related to the SD card problem as I also downgraded to original HTC rom with spl1.14 and still have the same problem[/I]

EDIT: gurluver I think you're right! I downgraded my device now back to spl 1.14 and no problems anymore. As I am discussing this with crackwhore it seems that
1) some countries's touch hd might have a different hardware
2) however even though I have downgraded to official HTC ROM spl 1.14 (and the card is working fine then) as soon as I upgrade to offical and / or other spl 1.56 the problem appears again.
Conclusion: I have to go and (probaley argue) with HTC and see if they are willing to either fix it or send me a new device.
Will keep you posted
so to sum up, i guess i'll have to try these when i have sometime, and see what happens after each step, and only go to next step if previous step works.
- restore to Orange UK ROM SPL 1.14
- upgrade to Official WWE SPL 1.54/56
- Try another 1.54/56 ROM.
- Format the card
- Install SD tune up
I'll report back here my result.
update...
i have flashed my device several times, at least 15 times,.always using USB activesync, never thru the stotage card. I have v1.14 and I have never had a problem. After rebooting the phone a couple of times, I got my card to reappear today long enough to backup my stuff. Then I formatted the card, put it back in, loaded it up with the same files, and I havent had another problem, though its only been about 8 hours.

restore to orange UK ROM spl 1.14..and you will see that you will be sweet. After I upgraded to official SPL 1.54/56 it didnt work again..and I tried several versions (NDL; came with the phone , EUR & WWE)
I just think that its not right to be "stuck" with spl 1.14 in order to use or card...
SD Card Problem
I had this problem last night. Basically my card just disappeared from the file explorer. Could not connect it to disk drive mode or anything. Took the card out, re-inserted and the card would appear for a few seconds and then go again. Soft re-setted and it would appear for a bit then disappear.
Done a hard reset and the card still would only appear for a while until I tried to access it then it would disappear.
I eventually narrowed my problem down to something I had installed on the card which was MaxTTM. After deleting this folder from my card, it remained visible. Been working fine ever since. I didn’t have to delete my music or video files which make up around 6-7gb of my card. From now on I think I’ll install my software on the phone as opposed to memory card. My card is a 16gb Sandisk.
When the problem happened to me, first, only some directories had disapeared. Or at leat I couldn't access to them.
Even with a µSd card reader on the PC.
I formated it with the storage tool, on the HD, because the PC would'nt see it.
A week later, I couldn't access to the card anymore. Neither on the HD, nor on the PC.
I concluded that the card was destroyed.
Hopefully it was still under warranty.
I don't blame the cooked ROM I was using. Maybe the SDtuneup with some parameters I entered with Advanced config tool did the mess.
Like power management.
My first SD corruption occured when the card was almost full, and I was downloding a file with Opera. In the meantime I plugged in my PC in mass storage mode. I recognize my error. But instead of simply having a file system corruption, why did it destroyed the card ?
Because after then, the card access was longer. Perhaps the system was trying to recover some bad sectors ? I'm working in phone industry, and we do a lot of tests on these kind of use cases. So I can't beleive HTC hardware isn't that robust.
In my case, it ended with a hardware destruction. Even on other devices (with other OS/ ROM) it also failed reading.
Bad luck with a weak µSD card ?

Card done these step - works fine on 1.14, breaks on Official WWE 1.54/56.
I guess any of us who have this problem should probably email HTC so they release a fix for this.

I've sent my device in for diagnosis / repair / swap . I will update you what's happened. Good Idea with writing to HTC though
I had also an old Sandisk 6 GB card and copied to it the content from 8 GB card (which came with HD). That solved my (SD disappering) problem !
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.
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.
