Hello, I'm not glad that i have to post this topic, but i think the whole story about "Waiting for SD card" problem will never end. I have 3 SD's at home, even one not works.
What i tried:
- i read a lot of topics about this problematics
- i tried to format my cards to fat32
- i tried clean cards
- i tried to format with special tools
- i tried customize startup.txt with msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave etc.
- i tried 5 versions of android, even one not works...
I will be very glad if someone helps me or gives me an advice what should i try
Thanks a lot!
Is any one of the sd cards you tried a "class 2"? Seems that class 6 sd cards have this problem.

no need to try more versions on your current SD cards. Go to look for some very old one, better smaller then 2GB.
I got 5 in my home, 2 of them works. Both of them are 2GB, bought 3 yrs ago.
None of new one could be used.
i realised the old versions of sd card works but the newer ones dun.
U shuld change SD card~~
Pretty Disappointing... I'm stuck too. I'm suprised it hasn't been fixed yet can't be that hard compared to everything else they've acheived.
I hope everyone involved keeps up the hard work but it'd be great for someone to revisit this problem.
its a hardware problem of the sd card, not a software problem.
it will never be fixed (its not possible).
its not like an sd card is too expensive ^^ just get another one...
have a look at this thread

I tend to disagree. SD is a well known standard on the market.
The card that I have works fine for more than a year in Windows Mobile with Touch HD card reader. Without a single problem during that time. So everything: operating system, SD card and HTC HD card reader are fine.
It doesn't work with Android, so there is something wrong. Either with SD card initialization procedure, drivers or operating system (Android).
Unfortunately, I can't effort using 2GB card. I'm using my phone e.g. for books reading, music, photos, games etc. It's not only a phone I hope that all these hard working Android guys can fix this issue.

we are not looking at the sd card when its detected by the operating system but by the device itself.
the problem might be that the device is simply not capable to use some sdcards without the proper drivers (which the os then provides). what im saying is: before you enter the os the device might not detect some particular sd cards, but once the os is booted, it does.
the issue here is simple: if the device doesnt support the sd card, the os wont boot, this has nothing to do with the os.
if you dont believe me:
try flashing a WM rom from the "problem sd card". u will see: it wont work.
now try booting android from the same sd card. u will see: it wont work.
now get another card u can boot android with.
now try flashing a WM rom from this sd card. u will see: it will work.
conclusion: its a hardware problem.
i must say im not an expert but im not stupid either. i tried what i explained myself and thats just how it is...
if someone has a better explanation please correct me

What you're saying may be right. I'm not an expert either, so these are only my conclusions.
I think that what may be failing is the HSPL (Bios) that most people here loaded. I'm pretty sure that I was able to flash from SD card on my stock ROM. At some point it stopped working. I'll try to rollback to stock SPL (I'm not sure how to do it, yet) and confirm. So changed HSPL may be the issue.
Another question is, why SD drivers in either case are not loaded with the boot image. I don't know Android internals, so I can't tell if this is possible. But it would help in this case.
In both cases I don't think this is hardware issue that can't be resolved.

Sorry. You are wrong. I am frequently flash my phone using SD card with HSPL. But the card also face problem with Android. So definitely not the hardware problem.

From my personal experience on my Kaiser I can confirm that newer SD cards do indeed seem to cause problems in Android, especially with installing or running from SD.
I have 3 SD cards I normally use for my phones, the newest a 4Gb class 6, which I have never been able to use for Android on Kaiser or Blackstone, I can't even flash with it, it just never works, using it for data storage works fine, just can't run Android from SD or Flash with it, the other 2 are 2Gb class 2's, both work just fine for flashing, and work great when using them for running Android builds from SD on Kais and Blac hardware.
My conclusions? Well I fall into the 'hardware problem' camp, mostly, since I can't flash either Winmo or Android with the class 6, it may be the card, but I wonder sometimes if it's the capacity, since both the class 2's are almost the same age as the class 6, all are sdhc, all 3 are from the same manufacturer , (SanDisk), in fact the only real difference is the capacity.
Waiting for SD Card
I have also tried a Transcend 8 GB SD Card and it doesn't work.
The same files on a Tanscend 1GB SD Card work just fine, so it's definitely a hardware problem caused by the card.
I've tried everything - formatting the card with different tools and different cluster sizes, partitioning the card below 4GB - all without success.
For all you guys out there with the "waiting for SD card" problem: Get a different (small) card !! - It's worth it !
what about this - copy files in the package into device internal memory and boot from there(i don´t know where to change booting directory in cfg...). if it created data.img on the sdcard, it would be fine solution...

Not sure it's that simple... once winmo is killed, the internal memory would have to be accessed natively by Android. It could be different for every device (where as SD is a standard, device agnostic format, internal memory isn't)
Whilst most HTC devices will work in an almost identical manner, there is no guarantee of what the internal memory is (it could actually be a HDD in theory).
I had this problem with my Transcend 8GB SD card, nothing solved it so I traded it for a Sandisk 8GB SD card with a colleague.
Works fine now. ^^

I'm using a Transcend 8GB card...the one that came with my blackstone with no problems at all. Don't think I did anything special though, formatted to FAT32, installed android from a CAB (in this thread) loaded Android and then I copied my WinMo files back to the SD card as well.
One 2GB sandisk card I had though didn't work at all until I formatted it to FAT32 under linux, then it worked fine in WinMo and Android.
A friend also suggested to me trying to reduce the 'allocation unit size' when formatting the card but I've not tried that approach.
maybe u can try format SD Card to FAT (not FAT32 formatted i think.. maybe it FAT16)! i have 8gb and 2gb SD Cards.. and that all cards not work untill i formatted my 2gb SD Card to FAT!
CMIIW..
I have been using a 4GB micro Sd card for some time now.
But decided id fork out for a 16GB atlast.
Fitted the 16GB last night, No problem, Bought FPSECE 0.10 support version and a few games.
Today at work, Lunch time I pulled out my htc hd2 to enjoy abit of gaming and showing off the phone, But the Sd card was not found. I restarted the phone several times, tried everything, then decided I would format the phone.
After a format, The card was found again! yay I thought, but lunch was over so,now im home from work, The SD card is no longer read... I have now tried my 2GB micro SD card, My 4GB Micro SD card and my 16GB Micro SD card, All of which wont detect in the HD2, But will in my ORBIT 2 and PC card reader.
Is it a software fault, Or a hardware fault?
Thanks
Ok
Just formatted the phone again. Instantly the Sd card was readable.
So I formatted the card from the phone..Now just hoping for the best.
My guess is some software must have had a bug or virus or something blocking the sd card from being read on the hd2.
Odd.
Its SW problem not HW. I had a same prob after I installed the " tnyynt SD TuneUp " tweak. You just need to find what it is in your phone.Not easy task
Try different ROM-easier way
16gb sdhc card failed after restart.
When it is working (Straight after format) put anything more than 500mb of data on it and it screws up!
Data transfere is around 300kb/s!!! takes the monkey abit.
Then after a soft reset, Its gone again.
I conclude the SD card is defective. I shall be getting a refund.
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.

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

Still on first day of ownership with device here. Android currently reports a corrupt SD, and I recall reading that there's two options for storage under Android 7. The traditional, of keeping the SD card as a separate file system, and I think the updated handling has to do with encryption.
Will revisit post if I encounter similar issue, regarding low battery.

It's natural for the first time, but in my case it shows corrupt SD even after I ve already formatted it with my phone (Only if phone switches off due to low battery).
Well It gave me corrupt card error on the 3rd day of use, all I did was just restarted my phone and when it turned on It show Sd card corrupted. Although my PC was able to read it. Then i took a backuo, formatted card with phone and restored data. Hope I don't see the error again.
My card got corrupt yet again after a normal switch off and on process.
It's a 64Gb card. Don't know what to do.

Here the problem comes..., it's a software issue I guess, BTW there is a workaround. Connect ur SD card to a computer and scan it for errors(apply fix if needed), after that test u can use it as before. I hope it helps :good:

Same issue here. I bought my Moto G 5 Plus 3 or 4 days ago. Have a Sandisk 32GB (Class 10) MicroSD formatted as Internal Memory. I restarted the phone several times and everything was fine. Till one moment I wanted to take a picture, but the motorola photo app was crashing every time I wanted to take a picture. I restarted the phone and the MicroSD card was corrupt. The MicroSD was basically new, never used, only inserted once in an other phone, but not even used once to store anything. I really hope this is a software problem and not a hardware problem, and that they will fix it..

https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums/v3_1/forumtopicpage/board-id/MotoG5thGen/page/1/thread-id/1525
Was this ever fixed?? Im buying the phone and getting on Friday
Well, no OTA updates so far, so I guess no fix. I'm using my SD card as external storage (Not formatted as internal) and I had no issues so far. The only downside is that you can barely move any apps to the SD formatted like this. But with the internal storage space of the Moto G it should be enough for now. I hope tough they fix it in the future. I'm wondering tough if it's not an Android issue. I wasn't lucky so far with internally formatted SD cards, on my previous phone if the phone crashed for whatever reason, anything that has changed on the SD since the last reboot would disappear. So I wonder if it's an global android issue.
I'm getting corruption errors with two brand new 32GB and 16GB Toshiba Exceria M302/EA microSD cards (http://www.toshiba-memory.com/cms/en/products/microsd-cards/exceria/exceria-pro-m302-ea.html).
Now I'm testing an old 16GB SanDisk Ultra and it seems to be working but I fear it won't last.
I have a G5 XT1676 with stock NPP25.137-15 and no updates available.
No corruption issues here. I bought a Sansdisk 128GB Ultra card. Ive been using the phone for a couple of months now. I have 80GB worth of music on it and I have photos saved to the card. I think the quality of your SD card will have a lot to do on seeing this issue. Good luck
Similar issue with 32 GiB Lexar SDHC, brazilian G(5)+
Greetings,
The same thing just happened to me: after a manual shutdown {1}: SD reported as corrupted, but reads fine on a Mac. The SDHC card is a 32 GiB Lexar and my G(5)+ is a stock factory unlocked brasilian version.
This did not happen in the prior manual reboots, since I got it in March.
{1} Launcher3 was throwing "not responding" warnings and Google Cards was very laggy, so I manually rebooted the phone after clearing Launcher3 cache and storage.
Cordially,

Update:
So far, all attempts at formatting in-phone stall, in both internal and external modes, at 20% and 30%, respectively.
Waiting for another SD card to arrive for further tests.

My Lexar card just died after a reboot it was working fine in my m8 before I got the moto g. When I plug in the card to my pc I can see all the files but they are write locked so the card is effectively dead.
Subscribed. I am also seeing the SD Card Corrupt on bootup. Wonder if it's bootup or restart/shutdown that messes it up? Tryinig to eject media, turning phone off and booting to see if it's happening on boot time or on restart/shutdown.
EDIT: Didn't have to go that far.... I press EJECT, then took out, inserted back in, CORRUPTED. Must be the EJECT or SD Prepare sequence? Or maybe an encryption issue (when re-inserted it has new keys/whatever encryption it uses?)
EDIT 2: I rebooted phone (power button until it rebooted) and SD Card shows CORRUPTED. It's either not updating the FAT table or must be the SD Prepare sequence corrupting it. I inserted the corrupted SD card on Windows and it showed "You need to format the disk in drive before you can use it." and no matter what format I use it gives me the message format not recognized on the phone.
I ejected the card via OS and checked on PC, CORRUPTED.
I HARD ejected the card and checked on PC, CORRUPTED.
I rebooted phone (power button until it rebooted) and ejected the card before boot and SD CARD is
CONFUSED!!!
It's like the card is good until it powers off, then it's no good.
CONFUSED!!!
Regret not getting the 64GB version now...if that's all I am going to have.. Moto needs to address this issue...
Fixed my SD card
This same thing happened to me.
I repaired my SD card by taking my SD card out of my phone and connecting it to my computer using a micro SD adapter.
When you click on the card's drive letter in Windows Explorer it will probably say 'This drive is corrupt and inaccessible'.
So I opened up the run box by pressing 'Windows Key + R', typed in 'cmd' then 'enter' to open the command prompt.
Then I typed the command 'chkdsk (drive letter of your card) /f'
for example: 'chkdsk D: /f'
Press enter and then chkdsk will run and should repair your card.
You should now make a backup of the files on your card just in case this happens again.
sd card is not even showing so how to format it
guys i have a samsung 16gb sd card it was lost and i found it after 2 days and now it is not even showing in any phone any pc.... i think its pin has tempered but if there is a way to fix it then tell me
The same happens to me, Moto G5 (NOT Plus). All cutom and stock ROMs have had this SD card being corrupted after a boot, came here for help but as I see, there's still no solution to this problem. Gosh, I'm starting to hate this device, buttons are not clicky anymore!
Last time i tried to make my SD card work, after watching a coupple of videos from my SD card, it couldn't read it anymore, I had to format it again, practicaly I can't use my device with SD cards. (Sandisk 16GiB Class 10)
