can any one please confirm the following on a new upgrade of the latest 1.72 rom currently on the VF UK site. or any other standard 1.72 rom
with an SD card installed ,after install of rom (so clean with no additional software/setups) connect phone to a pc via usb, choose disk drive.
sd appears has a removavble drive on pc as normal. Works has expected.
unload hardware on pc - stop the removable drive (SD Card).
phone does not re-acquire the sd card. requires a soft reset to do this.
Previous 1.66 and 1.43 roms worked fine.
Tried 2 pc's , both XP, one service pack 2, the other service pack 3.
Reported this to VF tech support but really got nowhere (suprise), so chatted to HTC UK tech support and logged the problem.
additional info:
Interestingly even though the sd is not showing in phones file explorer, if the phone is re plugged into the pc, the active sync/disk drive screen is displayed on the phone and the SD is recognised as an external drive and can be used on the PC.
removing the hardware a second (or subsequent) time still does not show the SD in file explorer,

Hi All, I am having an issue with putting more than 630MB of data on my newly bought 2 GB miniSD card and was hoping someone could help....
Firstly, some background info....
1. I'm on a Win XP Pro, DELL Inspiron 6400 notebook.
Im also running McAfee Security Centre with AntiVirus, Personal Firewall etc
2. When I expore via ActiveSync, the only information displayed about the miniSD is a folder under the root directory called "Memory Card"
3. I downloaded both WM5torage + Card Export 2 to resolve this problem - when I use WM5torage, only 1 removable disk comes up in File Explorer (only drive E)
BUT when I use Card Export II, I get 3 removable disks showing up in File Explorer (drives E,F,G).
E: contains all the files I copied to the miniSD and is showing up as 2 GB capacity (using "file explorer" properties)
F: contains some folders including camera, FMimages etc folders + is showing up as 16 MB capacity
G: contains nothing and is showing up as 65 KB capacity
If I use either of these programs the most I can get onto the miniSD is 624.5 MB.
Using either of these utils, I get a "file or directory cannot be created" error whenever I try to copy an additional file across.
BUT when I try and copy any new file using the "Explore" button via ActiveSync, it says "cannot copy - cannot find specified file".
Sheesh!
Another thing I just tried doing was running a checkdsk on the miniSD (using the XP disk tools you find after hitting the properties option on a certain disk).
I checked off the "Auto fix file system errors" option + the "scan for & attempt recovery of bad sectors" and ran the checkdsk.
This ran for about 20-30mins, it came up with NO errors and just said checkdsk is now finished.
Any suggestions guys?
Have u tried a reader ...
OK, I don't have a 2GM mini SD to try, but what I do is stick the mini SD into a SD adapter then stick it into a standard SD reader and plug it into the PC USB port.
I transfer all data in and out of the mini SD this way as I find it much faster than through Active sync or worse, WM5torage which is only USB 1.0 speed.
Try and see if you can transfer it this way, I believe u can as the "check" u ran shows no problems. After u transfer, stick the miniSD into the Atom and try to access the files ... I'd be interested in the results as I am thinking of getting a 2GB miniSD myself. I currently own a 1GB miniSD
I have tried this actually and my PC doesn't recognise/work with the minisd card with adapter.
I go to device mgr and there is a yellow question exclamation mark - when I look into properties it states
"This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
So going to try another reader just for a minisd (without the adapter) and also going to try another Atom to try and narrow down whether its the card or the Atom.
Great news - got it working!!!
Before proceeding with anything, I decided to update the Atom ROM from the "test_not_for_sale" one
to the latest offical one from o2 that was released a 1-2 weeks ago (20060426B1WWE).
After the system came back up I tried transferring more data using Activesync/Expore and bang! It worked.
I just filled the entire card up - all 2GB worth without a single glich.
I also installed Card Export 2 and tried copying the same amount across but that gave me the same error as before and would not go over the 630 MB.
Hope this helps anyone else out there having probs with their 2 GB card.
Congrats! But what were you waiting for before upgrading to the new official ROM :twisted: "could have saved yourself this anguish :shock:
as the saying goes "if aint broke why fix it?"
The ROM was working great and had enabled me to start using wifi so wasn't planning on upgrading unless I needed to - turns out that I needed to! :lol:
Vibration stopped working the other day so it wanted to return to factory software + SPL for warranty service.
Plugged in the phone via activesync, copied Kovsimg.nbh, there is not enough space...?
Disc mode, scandisc and it writed out just fine. Restart into SPL, no file found...?
Tried to format it in different ways but format gives "Invalid media or Track 0 bad" at cmd and different can't complete errors with other Windows tools (diskpart, disc management, graphical format).
Writing to card (new data, delete old data, even using File Exporer from phone) works fine, but when i plug it back in, it reverts to previous state.
Plugged in old 4GB card, works just fine. Used it to revert to Generic UK R2A, plugged in 16GB card, no luck.
Is there some strange software write-lock (there seems to be no hardware lock) or has the card just died?
I had a similar problem had to format card with Disk manager
see http://kb.sandisk.com/cgi-bin/sandisk_en.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=107&p_created=1221590578&p_sid=v28bLavj&p_brand=&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPSZwX3NvcnRfYnk9JnBfZ3JpZHNvcnQ9JnBfcm93X2NudD00MTUsNDE1JnBfcHJvZHM9JnBfY2F0cz0mcF9wdj0mcF9jdj0mcF9zZWFyY2hfdHlwZT1hbnN3ZXJzLnNlYXJjaF9ubCZwX3BhZ2U9MQ**&p_li=&p_topview=1
If that fails try HP format tool
HP tool failed as well.
Gotta find another Xperia/PC combination testing first to be sure, and then back to warranty.
I had updated my Hero to software version 2.27.651.6 and started having some problems. The dialer seemed to be slower than usual, sometimes having problems with the on-screen keyboard, and then I could no longer connect my phone to the PC via USB.
Regardless of settings on my hero (Charge only, HTC Sync, Disk Drive, Internet Sharing) all my phone will do is charge when plugged into the PC. I've tried multiple PCs (with different OS) and different cables and have run out of ideas....
I've tried factory reset to no avail.
Is there any way to flash a new ROM via recovery mode with the update.zip?
maybe with a microsd card reader to copy files to the card from the pc. thats about it
just go on ur phone to the xda site find the rom dl it and use linda file manager to move it from ur downloads folder to the root of ur sd card then boot into recovery and there u go
Hello,
i have installed the Android Rom from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877777
Installation worked fine, no problems at all.
Android runs, better then WM, but i have 2 problems:
1.Android shows up a message that my MICRO SD card is damaged, and that i need to format, which i did, but the message still appears. I tried to format the card on my pc, but Win7 tells me that the format can not be finished due to unknown problems.....seems that a few other android users have the same problems with their SD Cards.....any ideas or solutions to this problem?
The card worked fine till Android installation......
2.I can´t establish an USB Connection with Android an WIN 7.
I have downloaded and installed HTC Sync(for all Android phones), when I plug in the phone, Android shows the usb connection icon, and Win 7 installs all needed drivers(firsttime), but HTC-Sync says: no device connected.
Any ideas?
Did you do a full format of the SD card, and not just a quick format?
If you did, and it didn't help, try using a different piece of software to format, like this...
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3
There's loads of 3rd party formatting apps that are better than the native Windows one.
As for HTC Sync, you can't use that with a ROM that doesn't have HTC Sense on it. Why do you want to connect to your PC, or is it just to use HTC Sync? If it's just for that then I'm afraid you have to forget about it and try and find alternative solutions. What do you want from HTC Sync?
Hello!
I'm trying to backup my phone before i wipe and flash latest Omega rom. But some problems..
I can copy one biiiig (3-4 gb) file from phone to PC in no time, but if i mark several folders, or a folder with like 50 small files in it (a total of ~50 mb) it just hangs on "calculating size" forever.
My setup:
PC - Windows 8.1, latest USB-drivers from Kies
Cable - Tried different ones, but right now the original USB 3.0 cable
Ports - Tried all ports on front and back of PC
Using Explorer to copy. What program do YOU use?
Note: It's the same when i try to restore to the phone..
Ideas?
Thanks
Update: tried with another PC (Windows 7), same problem there. =/
Try Teracopy.

Thanks! But TeraCopy doesn't work with MTP.
I think the best way to solve this MTP-issue (as it seems to be) is to copy Internal card to a folder on the External card, and then copy the files from that extcard via a cardreader directly to the PC, and vice versa.
Alt 2: AirDroid
It's the MTP protocol. It's a nightmare. Sluggish, unstable, slow...
I always copy big files to and from the MicroSD with a cardreader (which is a hassle as I'm using an Otterbox) and then move it internally with ESfileExplorer. (On an older version of both the firmware and ES, so it still accepts MicroSD writing.)
