[Q]How to make SD card ready for WP7?

Hi,
I have Sandisk 2gb SD card which comes with hd2, i installed WP7 but it seems that WP7 can not recognize my SD because when i put SD in my computer nothing is changed in my SD even i tested it, I put some files in SD and reinstall WP7 so as far as i understand wp7 has to format my SD put its specific partition but guess what nothing is changed in my SD even that files remain in the same place...
So i tried to format SD my self with FAT32 and FAT and even i delete my SD partition and none of them make WP7 format and make partitions on my SD card...
P.S-1 My SD card is working i tested it wit my computer by formatting copy some files there so read and write is ok.
P.S-2 WP7 booted correctly in this situation i mean when SD is in device the only problem i have is WIFI can not find any router when SD is in device, when i took it out wifi start working, why i'm saying this because i aware of compatibility issue of WP7 with some SD cards where it reboots if it is not compatible .

same thing happens to me, I am now trying to reinstall (again) wp7, and it seems it got stuck at the DFT screen..... previously it booted almost inmediately. maybe it is partitioning it?, for those of you guys that sd card works, wp7 boots inmidiately?

Yeah SD cards makes crash wifi !
And i cannot use it... Flash WP7 with formated SD cards NTFS but still doesn't works !

First time i istalled WP7 without SD card and when i afterward inserted card nothing was changed. Then i made Factory Reset from Settings menu and my phone started to restart over and over from point where DFT banner shws first time after loader. Then i went to the loader and as i can remember then i re-selected preferred boot source and then for me all was good. Now it show 1.6GB free space with my original HD2 SD card.

i am having axactly the same trouble. i have a san disk 2 gb too. it'll be enough for me but wp7 does not recognize it. i installed both sd-card inserted and sd-card not inserted. i booted with sd-cad and without sd-card. i tried every posibility but no result
reserved space is %95 on zune and it tells me there is no disk space. so i cant start using it full functionally and it makes me really sad
any help is appreciated. thanks.

I have exact the same problem.. i found some sort of "solution". but it is a bit strange. when I pull out the sd card, boot my phone in magldr, insert my sd card and boot wp7, It shows the normal storage instead of the 15 mb.
but when I try a normal reboot without going to magldr, its going back to the 15 mb. and when I try to sync my phone with zune,(with the put-sdcard-in-phone-when-in-magldr-solution) everything goes slow.
Dont know if you (or someone else) already found a "good" solution?
greetz

all of you guys have an incompatible SD card, sorry guys, will need to buy a new one, its a bit of a lottery as that too might not work and dispite what some on here say its impossible to recomend anything.
only advice i can give is get a card that class 2 or 4 and dont spend money on a card that you may end up using for a tiny paperwight

is my sd card gone?
After I successfully flash WM7, I juz realize that my pc not recognize my sd card when i connect my phone to d computer. First, i thought becoz of some bug of wm7 so i try to flash android back. I took my sd card put into a card reader but it still not recognize my sd card. Is it gone?

What about the sd unlock tool that xbmod released ? try a few nokia devices or a device which takes sd card to see if you can unlock... Check out 96edwy video on YouTube on how to unlock after wp7

I have the same problem like arrirang .
When I put my SdCard to CardReader, windows 7 does not recognize SD Card in reader. If I try proces mentioned in video tutorial -> result is the same. Device USB Mass Storage is displayed in device manager with error code.
I was trying it in three computers (two with windows 7 x64 and one with Windows XP) - the result was allways the same.
Any one help me?
EDIT:
I have found this solution:
1. Connect USB cable from PC to phone.
2. At PC, enter WP7-Update-Cab-Sender folder.
3. Go to ‘if needed install this tool’ folder.
4. Install Setup-UpdateWP (x64 for 64 bits Windows and x86 for 32 bits Windows).
5. Copy DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab to WP7-Update-Cab-Sender folder.
6. Run WP7 Update Cab Sender.bat.
7. Then type S – (S)end Cabs to device.
8. After finished installation, close WP7 Update Cab Sender.
9. Disconnect USB cable from phone.
10. At WP7, launch StorageLock.
11. Click yes to unlock SD card.
12. Shutdown your phone.
13. Put your SD card into card reader.
14. Launch Partition Wizard Home Edition (download it here)
15. You should see 2 partitions on SD card.
16. Delete both of them.
17. Create a primary FAT32 file type partition.
18. Click ‘Apply’ to begin the process.
19. That’s all.
It works! I kid you not!!

You should know that Installing wp7 locks your card so thats why it is not recognised by your pc..
Have you installed mango or another wp7 version on this sd card or succesfully on another?? I take it, you have no nokia devices that can format your card?
If you have mango installed transfer the storageunlock.cab to the phone followed by partition cab (got to be less than your total capacity) Reset your phone check if partition has taken effect..unlock using storage lock.turn off phone ..take sd card out into adapter into your pc now it should be readable (not full capacity bear in mind) you have to use easeus partition tool to format to full..
If you have mango on a different sd card and want to recover the corrupt one
Check this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286511
Or if your using just the same sd card you have to start over again and reflash from task 29 stock magdlr radio ie then storage unlock tool
Good luck

hey my problem is that wp7 in my hd2 shows internal memory of 175mb only even though my 8gb sd card is inserted in it..i cant seem to find a sloution to make my phone show the sd card memory..any solution please?

I have the same problem

it's probably because you installed wp7 without the sd card in it and you did not hard reset after installing rom...if so, you need to do a hard reset with the sd card in it for wp7 to recognize the card. or you have a bad card to begin with and the wp7 install had problems.

[Q] SD-card problems after updating to Froyo

Hello there,
i got some problems after updating with kies to froyo. the sd card will not be recognized in my samsung 5800 anymore. i tried to format the sd card, to use some other sd cards and flash some other custom 2.2 roms with the same result. i also tried to mount the sd card manually with no success. if i flash back to the original 2.1 version everythin works fine.
could someone please help me?

Is there no idea?

install mini tool partition and convert ur whole mem card to single unpartitioned space(PC)
insert the unpartitioned card to ur phone with 2.2 of ur choice (Kies or custom)
u will get the message that the card is damaged in ur notifications tray
goto settings>SD card>format card
it should work if not
try another card with ur phone and identify if the problem is with the card or phone

thank you,
but i just tried to insert an unpartitioned card with the same problem. also other cards will not be recognized. after booting it shows "scanning for mediafiles... ", but nothing happens. i also can´t install update.zip in the recovery mode.
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or NULL)
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted
i would say that the problem is with the phone. but i don´t understand it, cause everytime i flash back to 2.1 everything works fine.
Maybe there are some problems with the driver for the sd card slot???

Did you take the SD card out before flashing the rom? If not keep your SD card out and reflash.

thank you for the hint. i took out the sd card befor flashing and i tried it a lot of times.

Found a solution yet?
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App

go back to 2.1 and make sure that the sd card is in working condidion
now update to kies WITH SD CARD INSIDE THE PHONE
i personally use custom roms which is better than what samsung releases as a tideover...........but that's my opinion lol

Sorry, but i also tried that a cuple of times. i updates by kies, i flashed different types of roms (customs and originals) and in no 2.2 version it works. i don´t unterstand where ist the problem. i tried different custom roms too, because i thought they might be better.
is there any chance of protocolling the boot up ? i want to see if my phone ist trying to mount the sd card.

well it seems that ur phone is at fault
if u still have warranty then put the stock 2.1 rom and give it to the samsung service guys they'll replace ur cell
be sure to have both boot and rom as stock without rooting

[Q] Error while creating ext part SD with Minitool

Hi all,
To make a long story short:
I figured out that i had to install a ext2/3 or 4 part on my SD card to install imilka's GB rom.
I launced Minitool Partition Wizard and followed a video on youtube with instructions. I created a FAT32 partition and a ext3 partition and pressed "apply"
Then the program freezed at 33%... Couldn't do anything else then close it.
From that moment, i can't mount my SD card anywhere... not on my pc, laptop and not on my Desire HD... it doesn't show up anywhere
This is my mom's HD2, so i'm afraid that i ruined her SD card...
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks!

Possible Fix
Hello 1st of all get a SD adapter and plug it in to your pc / plug your SD card / use this tool to format the SD card (it will erase all partitions) : SDFormatterv3.0.zip/ then create the partition you want using CWM recovery ( easiest way IMPO ) .

thanks for your reply, but the drive doesn't show up when i use the mass storage function in magdlr... do i really need a USB reader? Because i dont really have one here.

yes you probably need to get an SD adapter ( its really cheap and it usually comes with the SD card when you buy it ) . If its not mounting through recovery and i guess u already tried it in another cell phone (any brand) then you need the SD adapter.

It's fixed now
I could format it in CWM (i just formatted everything i could) and then put the card in my Desire HD which loaded it, but I couldn't use it. Then I used your program and the card showed up, formatted and i made partitions
thanks for your help!

[Q] SD card problem/error while copying typhoon zip

Hey everyone,
I keep getting the same error while copying the Typhoon zip-file to my SDcard (empty, and 8GB is available).
It seems to be loading it onto the SD card, but it gets stuck (see 1st photo), then I get this error saying the card is no longer connected (which it is). I've turned off my phone several times and tried again and again, but I can't get it to work.
I hope someone can help me.
If not, how do I get back to windows 6.5 ?

Use an sd card reader. They are normally really cheap.
Otherwise format the card with sd formatter (program) and retry.
Before that you can try to copy the files via clockwork mod :
Mounts and storage and the mount usb or try to mount just sd.
Hope this helps you.
SwiftKeyed from my HTC HD2 via XDA PREMIUM APP

Hi Y'all
Im having the same problem trying to Install NAND Android with ClockWorkMod Recovery. At the last step,
7. Open your favorite ROM (ex. JawsMIUIrec1.0.7z) with 7-Zip.
8. Copy .data folder and ex. JawsNandRec1.1.zip to SD card root level.
I encounter exactly the same thing the OP is saying. Its not copying over. Im using a Kingston 8 GB microSDHC Class 4 Flash Memory Card SDC4 and my PC is running 7.
Any other suggestions?

jonas has given u the best solutions but there is another 1 u could try.
if u have a camera with an sd card reader,stick it in there,attach camera to pc,see if it allows u to format the sd card,then try to add the file
HOPE THIS HELPS...............FEEL FREE TO HIT THANKS

my note not recognise my SD card

Hello. Plz help.my note not recognize my sd card suddenly when i power off the phone then opened again. In addition the computer also suddenly nt recognize phone but the odin recognise when put it in USB debugging mode.also when open gallary it says SD card is in USB storage mode......thanks alot

does the sd card work in a different phone?

same here, my sd card works on other phone

Yes it works....also when opening camera it says turn off usb mass storage

But in recovery mood.it can read the sd when click on install zip from sd card

In recovery mode the inbuild memory is called sdcard, some not-stock recovery can separate between the two memories.
That said, your mentioning maybe wrong.
Is the card mSDXC, or regular mSDHC?
If there's nothing important on your card, try to format it inside the Note.
If there's important stuff on it, copy it to your pc (using a USB-SDHC-Cardreader) and format it inside the Note after that.
Sometimes the connection between the sdcard and the phone gets disturbed, so manual ejection of the sdcard out of the Note, cleaning the sdcard-contacts and putting it in again (repeat for 2 to 4 times) may help, too.
Regards

first: thank u, still the same issue even with other sd cards. i tried to install new rom by odin,it started progress but at the end of the progress it stopped at the word(hidden) in the box.

I have a 32Gb card installed in my phone and the Format card bit is greyed out. Any reason for this? Thanks in advance!
