Hi Guys,
First off, thanks to everyone involved in the HD2 developement, it only took me an hour or so of reading posts to get android running on my phone
So, I'm having problems, and I think it's due to the memory card. I'm using the Scandisk 2GB (don't know class) that came with the phone (UK, o2). It has just enough space to run android so it'll do for now.
I tried changing my Radio from 2.12 to an earlier version, as my signal was cutting out in low-signal areas. I managed to brick the phone (used wrong version I think) and had to connect the SD card to my PC via card reader to get a different radio back on there.
When I connected it to windows, it said I had to format the card to be able to use it... It then formatted it at around 950mb, FAT32... After sorting the Radio and booting into winmo, I formatted the SD card which gave me 2GB again. I reloaded Android (I've now tried Mattc's froyosense 1.7 and mdeejays sense 1.3) and now everytime I unlock the SIM card, I get a series of errors:
The process com.htc.bgp has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
The application Stocks (process....
It'll loop through these errors untill I turn off the phone.
This was using Radio 2.10. I've just changed back to 2.12, which was running fine before, and I'm having the same issues. These started while I was using the Energy winmo rom, and I've tried it with ChunkyRom too (both vers of Android I have too).
Is this likely to be the SD card failing? I did see something about wiping the phone before flashing a new winmo rom, is this worth trying?
Cheers
Well, it looks like it is the SD card.
After a few more tries it's now getting to the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen and looping through the animation...
im guessing your running out of room on the card..
you said it only has 950mb free?
is that before or after the data.img file is created?
I have a problem too with a 8gb sdhc card i get the message failed to mount the sd card... I had formated it but i get the same error...With a 2gb card everything works fine!
It reporting a 2GB card as a 1GB card in windows basically. I've replaced it with a new 8GB card and all seems to be working well!

I'm not sure if this is a common problem or not. There seem to be a lot of SD card issues, but the descriptions don't seem to apply to me.
I'm installing WP7 on the HD2, and everything works except that when I look in the available memory, it says there is 170MB (thereabouts) of storage space available when there is an SD card inserted. This card was present on the initial boot, and is the one that originally came with the HD2 - a SanDisk 2GB.
I don't have the restarting issues that others have seen, so I'm not sure if this is a symptom of the mysterious unsupported SD card issue?
hi,
Did you read this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912904
Partially, but I find most people there are having problems with constantly rebooting, or similar problems. I don't have these problems, just that the SD card isn't being used. I also have a wifi problem (always Searching) which I've read is SD card-related but I don't know if that because the SD card isn't being found and utilised, or that the card itself isn't supported.
Never mind. I tried another card (8GB SDHC, as opposed to the 2GB SD) and that picked it up straight away so it looks like it was just a case of the SD card being unsupported.
Hope this proves useful to others also.
What steps did u take when "trying another sd card" I have the 16 gig which i did NOT 1rst time boot with but did have interesting glitches i.e. wifi and reboots..
I tried Hard resetting with it in but to no avail. Hopefully there is still hope for my existing card as I am going to attempt a full 1rst install with it in but maybe you could post the steps you took when getting the new card to work
I powered off, inserted the new SD card, booted into MAGLDR and reinstalled Windows Phone 7. I believe the SD card has to be present on the first boot, so I reset may work, but I reinstalled just to be sure!
After installation and the first boot, the new SD card was recognised and used (as confirmed by checking 'About' in 'Settings'). Hope that helps.
Hey folks,
I had a great working installation of DFT's original WP7 running on my Euro HD2. But then I decided to try out the new Android Gingerbread with Sense 2.1. That ROM had a couple of critical things not working so I decided to go back to WP7. But now when i try to install WP7 it give me an error message. The things i have tried are
1. Formatted the phone with Task 29 and also repartitioned and formatted the SD card with FAT 32. This is the same SD card that I was using earlier also with WP7.
2. Re-installed Magldr 1.13.
3. Tried installing WP7
4. I have tried installing a stock Win 6.5 ROM after performing a Task 29.
5. I can install Android ROM's and WinMO 6.5 ROM's without any problems.
None of the above steps have helped.
The error i get while installing is as follows
An error has occurred
Read below for more information
Error Description: send d000ff partition data failed
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (1279)
Error Description: block send fail
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (962)
Error Description: flash write failed.
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (710)
This error is happening with all WP7 ROM's. I have tried at least 4 different WP7 ROM's and they all give me this error.
Anybody have any idea on what may causing this problem?
TIA.
try to begin form the start
hard format your SD card
tsk29....wm6.5
flash radio 2.12
hard spl 2,8?!?!?!?
and use Magldr 1.12
...wp7..
try this steps mate hope it works for you...
Have tried all this except re-flashing the radio. Will try again in this particular sequence. Thanks a lot. Cheers.
Hey buddy,
did you got any answer for that issue ??
i am having same issue...
Strange, but i heard this issues mostly with indian people... LOL
No, I have not found any solution for it. I have been too busy with work to sit and spend time on this problem. Anyways am presently on Android. Will update this thread if i find a solution.
I wonder why this issue is affecting indian people only too...lol..
partition 4 errors on hd2
I had same issue, using a 8 gb hc class 4 micro sd card. Worked first well, but after while got reboots on w7 and filesystem went corrupt on sd card. Reflashing got me errors on partition 4.
Tried booting w7 rom without micro sd, resulted in fast boot, but not stable w7, due to insuffient memory. Bought a new micro sd card class 10, reflashed w7 and worked nicely.
Looks like w7 is picky about quality of the microsd card. Speed is important.
Maybe your problems get solved with a new sd card.
Good luck!

The strange thing is that the SD card I am using is the exact same one that i was using earlier. But will try this out with my old 4Gb SD card and check if it works. Thanks

As per my knowledge,
it has nothing to do with your SD card...
even if u dont use any SD card, its partition 4 from NAND of HD2
so, it states, our NAND memory is corrupted at certain location
I am able to flash roms with 160mb size, but when go towards larger 180 - 190mb roms, i still have same issue
Had my HD2 for over a year now and finally got fed up of lack of WinMo apps, which my housemate with his iPhone loved to point out all the time. So I decided to try out Android a few days ago.
Read all tutorials etc and installed Skink's clean desire rom v1.3 using cwm. Got everything set up and was really pleased with my shiny new phone. Everything was working like a dream!
I decided to get a new 16 GB SD card as my 8GB card was full of music etc. Here is where the problems started...
To get all data onto 16GB SD card:
I partitioned it using cwm using same size partition size as on 8GB (1024mb)
Copied all files on 8GB fat32 partition onto 16GB fat32
With the 8GB SD card in the phone did a backup using cwm
Copied backup onto 16GB card inserted it into phone and did a restore
Now the fat32 and ext3 partitions on the 16GB card and 8GB card should be the same, so everything should carry on working fine when i boot up my phone.
It didn't I just kept getting lots of stopped unexpectedly errors until finally everything stopped loading even the home screen, and I'd have to remove battery. However if I just put my old 8GB card in everything worked fine as before
So after much frustation I gave up on this method and decided to just wipe everything on 16GB card and start from scratch:
Formatted 16GB card
Repartitioned it using cwm
wiped data, cache, dalvik cache
installed clean desire rom from sd card
booted up started reinstalling all apps etc
Now here is where things get very strange, I'd start reinstalling apps and reconfiguring to how it was before and then randomly I'll get a stopped unexpectedly error, like process.android.media or something similar. But it seems as if everything would carry on working, then slowly I get more errors until for example as soon as you click on internet you get an error and it closes.
I believe the problem lies with the sd card seeing as that is the only thing that has changed. I also think this rom stores more than just apps on the sd card. Because after I get a few of these stopped unexpectedly errors nothing is saved on the phone. For example I'll change the ringtone from x to y click ok, but when I click back on change ringtone it's still on x. But I can still play music that is stored on the sd card. After I reboot the phone for a while I can make changes and they are persistent but eventually I end up back at this strange state. It's almost as if I can read from the SD card but not write to it.
Another example when I've got to this strange state, I'll add a folder to home screen, add apps into etc. But when I restart the folder has gone.
If I reinsert my 8GB card and do a restore, I get everything back and it works perfectly. But I want to use my 16GB card, that's why I bought it!
My questions are:
Does anybody have an idea of what is going on when it gets into this strange state?
Does anybody know how to fix it?
Is there some way of testing the SD card?
Should my first method of getting all data onto new sd card have worked?
SD Cards are:
Samsung 8GB class 6
Transcend 16GB class 6
Sorry for the long post, any suggestions are greatly appreciated
Hey guys,
I've searched for a while but can't find a solution for my problem..
After flashing XBmod-Yuki rom V 2.00 everything works fine (also with older NoDo-roms) but when I change the region&language settings into something different, there's either a restart loop or a storage card error.
I've tried several ways of flashing, including this way.
My SD card: Transcend 16GB class6. Btw, a 2GB Sandisk works like a charm..
Is there any help out there??
Kind regards...
It could just be the card, SD cards seem to play a huge part of wp7, there are many problems that can crop up, sometimes you might not see them until you fill up the card to a certain level or the moon is full just depends... Not an answer but a possibility
Sent from my HD2 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I think I had the same issue today, when I turned it on today, I had a SD Card problem. I pulled out the battery, re booted the phone, arrived in the main menu then.. it freezed! =/. I pulled out the battery, pulled out the SD Card and plugged it again and now it works fine!

Didn't work for me.
Unfortunately, everything's fine after a hardreset but with a reboot (manually or to make an update/flash a cab) there is this storage card error!!
before you do anything after a flash, sync with zune and dump a few hundred meg of music on it, my card is unstable until i do that.
HD2 does not recognize a brand new 8GB Sandisk.
Any help please - my phone does not seem to recognize any SD cards anymore since I installed WM7.
I even bought a brand new 8GB card, and the phone does not recognize it at all.
The 4GB SD card that used to work fine, is also not detected anymore, but that could be due to it being encrypted now _ although I formatted with the Panasonic SD format tool.
I put 4GB of music on it - no (positive) effect...
Hi,
(Strange problem - OS does not detect SD Card however Bootloader does and loads ROM from SD Card)
I have a strange problem from this morning. I had WP7 mango installed which was working pretty ok apart from a few restarts if the bottom part of phone got warm/hot, so I kept it in from of AC (This idea usually works with HD2)
This morning, WP7 gave an error saying it can not detect the 16 GIG SD Card, I reformatted SD Card using Nokia phone/FAT32 and re-installed WP7 however it gave a message saying No Storage Card present.
I have also tried installing WM6.5 but that too doesnt not detect SD Card.
On top of above, strange thing is that I have installed 3 different version on WM6.5 stock ROM using SD Card method (pressing VolDn methos while powering phone up to boot load ROM from SD Card) and it works perfectly fine however the OS does not detect SD Card.
Has any body faced this problem and have a solution?
Or does any body know of a solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Ash.

further to add, i have tried 2 sd cards 4gb and 16 gb. WM6.5 says no SD Card present however the WM6.5 and all of software (ROM, Radio, Splash etc) were loaded/installed using LEOIMG.nbh on 16gb SD Card.
I have searched the forum as well as other sites, and have tried re-formatting sd card as well to no luck.
Please help, if you have any idea of whats wrong.

We're all too surprised you managed to flash using a 16gb SD card.,,, normally anything 8gb or larger won't flash nbh files, so your problem is pretty strange.
I lost the shipped 8GB SD card more than year back and since then I am using 16GB SD card with HD2 and it worked perfectly.
Does OS like WP7/WM6.5 uses mount in some way to have card and contents available? If so, can it be mounted using MAGLDR or CWM, since the bootloader which IPL can read the SD Card.
Cheers,
Ash
indeed this is a baffling problem. can't think of conclusive reasons why the tri-color bootloader can see the sd card but OS (WM6.5, WP7, Android) cannot!
i am assuming you have just ONE partition on the sd card...? can you check and tell us the format of the filesystem, i.e. FAT or FAT32...? i think FAT isn't even possible on a 16GB card...it will likely be formatted as FAT32, but lets check to be sure.
Hi ASCIIker,
Many thanks for your response, the SD Card is FAT32 formatted. I have tried both 4gb and 16gb cards but WM6.5 says No Card found.
See screen shots attached. I have also attached screen shot of version showing Stock ROM flashed earlier today using SD Card.
I am not too sure, could it be some thing like mounting of SD Card under these OS's or under SPL which is not able to mount these SD Cards,
The problem started when phone was running WP7 Mango 8107 but it used to crash if it got hot and re-boot on its own, may e one of those automatic re-boots, the OS unmounted Sd card. When I looked at it in the morning, it was showing an error message of no storage card present and the options available were emergency call and shut down. I tried re-booting it 1-2 times and it still showed same message and then I tried loading WM6.5 from SD Card using LEOIMG.nbh which worked and left me confused.
I have also tried USB Mass Storage option of MAGLDR 1.13 however that doesn't work either.
I have never used CLk but I can try that if there is a way to access SD Card using USB with it.
Any suggestions for reviving it back are welcome.
Cheers,
Ash

It is worth a shot but i suspect you it still will not detect the SD card. Just click on the HD2 guide in my sig and scroll down to post #3 and look for the section "Updated version of clk with CWM built in" and click on the link that takes you to the download of that version. Then the bottom of post #1 and read the section "Flashing cLK via SD card". This will have clk with Clockwork Mod installed on your device. Then boot your device and hold down the home button at the same time, this will boot you into CWM and theb select "Mounts and storage" then select"mount USB storage". If you do not see the contents of your SD card on your computer then it is not working. Make sure to try "install zip from sdcard" as well. Just see if it reads the SD card that way.
Also I take it from your posts that you have tried otion #4 USB Mass storage in MAGLDR. So like I said I doubt CWM will see it in mass storage either.
Seeing as WP7 uses the SD card for the internal memory and is constantly using the SD card reader on the device at high speeds. It may just be a case of the SD card reader not being operable with the OS anymore. I mean it has to work at a certain speed level I think for the OS to be able to use it, and maybe the bootloader does not require that same speed. Or it may just be a case of the reader not being able to mount the SD card as read and write both still so it just will not mount it. Like I said these are just shots in the dark. But if it is a problem with it mounting in either read or write it could cause this problem I beleive.
Hi T-Macgnolia, thank you for this detailed reply. I was able to install CLK using SD Card method however it does not recognize SD Card nor does it mount it. It shows an error message - see attached screen shot.
I was wondering if a faster SD Card like Class 6 8 GB would make any difference to current state.

Ash

if you're getting the same behaviour with all your cards, then its likely to be a problem with the phone, and messing with this class of that sized card is probably a dead end. (thats not to say you shouldnt try if you have cards available, of course!)
To my mind its gotta be one of two things
1 - some problem with the sd controller, that is allowing low level access to the card, so flashing works, but not allowing the higher level drivers full speed access to the card, in much the same way that a PC accesses the hard disk much faster during a normal boot than it does with a 'safe mode' boot.
2 - a virus/glitch/witchcraft/wp7/other has corrupted all your sd cards in some fashion.
Just guesses, of course.
Good luck.

I agree with Samsamuel completely, it seemsit is something wrong with the SD card reader/controller that is not letting it read the SD card at a higher speed. Or something really strange and funky has happened to all of your SD cards. But I feel it is the first thing and not the later. If you want to try another SD card, as odd as it sounds, I suggest you try a lower class SD card like a class 2 if you can find on. But then again you may already have one and already tried it I do not know. One thing for sure it seems like a hardware issue and not a software or faulty SD card issue.
I had this exact same problem, in the end I ended up going back to original leo Winmo 6.5, then starting over with HSPL - Magldr - CWM - Android (though I guess WP7 will work too).
I don't know what caused the problem, I just put all these anomalies down to the bad nand blocks on my device.
I'll also note that mass storage in Magldr has never worked for me and still doesn't, the drive mounts but crashes on transfer of any files, but within CWM and Android it works now.
If you have exhausted all other options and have not already tried this then it maybe worth a shot. Good luck.
Thanks michael-jb,
I have tried all these options. I have tried installing different WP7 again though, which I will do tomorrow or day after.
Cheers,
Ash
