Why my HD2 android won't start with my SD card?

My HTC HD2 works with my Transcend 4 GB microSD card, but it won't android won't boot up with my 8 GB Verbatim microSD card. Do I need to format it or something? Thanks!

Are you sure you have the correct set up ? (Files are copied to their destinations)
Try to format it to FAT32, and try again.

I`have just formated it to FAT32 and still the same problem. What files are you talking about?
PS: Sorry to bother you with "stupid" questions, I am pretty noob in this

I have read that Verbatim SDCards can cause problems in the build; booting or running, SanDisk is your best bet, but you may still be able to get it running,
Im not a dev; just brought SanDisk as a result of this,

It depends on many factors. Which Android Rom do you want flash, does this need Ext 3/4 Partition on the SD Card ? Do you have flashed the right partition size ? Read the installation instructions of Rom you wants to flash, there you mostly find all information.

Are you talking about NAND or SD? If NAND, make sure the ext partition is set up correctly, as this is where a lot of the apps are stored. If SD, then I would assume you know how to install an SD build so it could be a problem with the SD card being incompatible as alex.odell.2011 said.

I've had similar problems sometimes with my SD card; my HD2 wouldn't boot unless I took the card out then put it back in once it was booted. The only thing that I thought might cause it is something CWR related on the SD card, since I had used it in my Hero and Droid 1 as well to flash ROMs to them. It was a class 4 16 GB Sandisk, if that helps at all.

32GB Transcend card not recognised

hi, anyone using a 32GB Transcend card?
win 7 was ok with a 2GB Sandisk and an unmarked 4GB card, dual boot with android.
are some roms better than others or is there anything else i can do or is that just how it is?
tried full clean format of card etc.

did you try insert card on already installed WP7 or you flashed ROM with card inside?
you cant only insert card... you need to make hard reset or flash ROM to use new card...

http://www.wpcentral.com/first-offi...-certified-microsd-card-announced-sandisk-8gb

same with my 16g Transcend, WP7 doesn't recognize it while flashing, what I did was use an 8g Sandisk then just made an image copy of that to the Transcend then it is OK, but during the flashing it wont see a Transcend card

you guys need to realize it's not always about the sd card that causes problems. the particular wp7 rom flavor causes incompatibilities. also, you can't copy existing wp7 sd images and expect it to work. just make sure the sd card is formatted in any of the std windows/dos formats...fat16, fat32, ntfs.
also, i've never encountered sd issues with 4 different brands ranging from 8gb to 32gb sizes of sd cards using yuki rom, but these same cards have issues when trying to flash pdaj, ansar, and hd2o wp7 roms.

BTW
if I flash WP7 using the Transcend it wont work
if I flash Android using the Transcend it will work

that goes without.saying. android doesn't have such strict requirements as wp7. as i stated in previous post...other wp7 roms other than yuki rom seem to be prone to sd card issues.

hi,
@dxdy: as i said in my post, i dual booted with android on 2 other different cards ok (by imaging and resizing and adjusting partitions)
bad thing was losing half my sd just for win 7. and i didnt like the idea of swapping cards.
also, the battery issue does not seem to have been bottomed out with its appalling standby times.
thanks though to hjhjhj for that info. that was just what i wanted to know. interesting but strange that different roms see the cards differently.
locking an os to a removable storage card has to be one of the worst features i have seen.
at least with our HD2's we still have other options.
will fire up win 7 again and give it another go.

Hi, what class is your card ?
I have a 32Go class 4 sandisk and it works just fine, some people seem to have problems with class 2 and class 10.

I had this pb with it after using WP7, I don't know how but changing my bootloader from Maglrd to Clk made it work again on the device.

Try formatting it with SD Formatter 3.1. It solved my problems. Set the options to format type FULL(overwrite) and format size adjustment to on.

[Q] 32gb micro sd not working on SGS4 I9505

hey guys,
need some help on this. my gf bought a sgs4 with her kingston 16gb class 4 microsd card. she put into her sgs4 but its shows blank sd card with unsupported files. i tried using the microsd card on my sgs3 and also on com via card reader, it can be used without a problem
tried formatting the card but it's not helping
i tried using my own microsd card from s3 and put to her sgs4 and it's working
anyway she's running on stock rom
anyone able to advice on this? help needed

Try to format it in the S4.
However i don't recommend anything less than class 10 microsd card in S4.
Its just not a good idea.

Hmm bro, we try formatting it on the phone but it still doesn't work. I guess only solution is to get a new class 10 card

Rubbish.
I use a class 6 card (32 GB) without any problems. Did you try any other card in her phone?

I got a class 10 Samsung 32GB card on the way.
Better work!

Serious SD Card Corruption Issues!!! Any help???

Dear Friends,
I have a 64 gig, Class 10 sd card that I have formatted to Fat32 with GuiFormat, and am trying* to use with my S4. The problem is the seemingly notorious issue with extreme data corruption! Every photo I take becomes corrupted Fast and I get the dreaded Black picture with lighting bolt logo in the Gallery. Titanium and Nandroid backups get corrupted almost instantly as well. After Googling a bit, it seems it's a WELL known issue with these S4s. Here's an example of exactly what this issue is:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s4/315699-micro-sd-card-corruption-issues.html
I decided to post on XDA because there's generally NOTHING unsolved here and was wondering if someone can help me solve this issue? I will be DEEPLY grateful!
Last Note: Before you recommend Samung and/or SanDisk cards, read the thread I posted, seems like people still have problems with those as well! I need a near guaranteed solution to fix this problem, before I buy the expensive sd cards...
Appreciate all your help in advance! Thanks!

Couple things.
Try and reformat again on PC using gui format - fat32.
Then run a chkdsk on the card while it's in the pc.
See if that works.
OR
put the card in the phone and use Philz (or whatever recovery you're using) to format the externalSD card exFat.

Thank you friend!
I have tried 1, that's what's still causing the corruption.
2, I will try... but isn't exFAT NOT recommended to be used to avoid sd problems?
Thank you!

I use fat32.
But some report they use extFat, can always try both.

Thanks, are you using a 64 gig card and have seen NONE of these issues I mentioned?

Got two 64GB cards - these.
I decided it would be best to take my new cards and format them fat32. Used guiformat.exe.
Had my neice and nephew also use this tool to format their cards for their S3s.
Also have a buddy whose got a 64GB and able to use it in his GS3 after formating it fat32 using guiformat.
Really sounds like you got a lemon of a card. You might want to see if the manufacturer will RMA it.

Maybe you got one of those knock off microsd card that says it is 64gb but is really only 4gb. It starts rewriting over itself after 4g of data.
