I am using the original class 2 16gb card that came with my HD2, and WP7 is running fine. And I have this class 10 4gb card from PNY, wondering if that would give a boost in overall WP7 performance.
I know one way to do this is to refresh back to wm6.5 and then back to wp7. But I was also wondering if I could just insert the new sd card and do a hardset. Will this work?
Changing SD cards and doing a hard reset worked for me.

Same here. Powered off the phone, replaced card, at 1234 Vol up and Vol down pressed, Vol down to hard reset. After this Wp7 didn't boot just rebooting 2 times and 3'd reboot all ok.
I just went into settings -> about -> reset your phone. Worked fine, but also reset twice before finally booting up.
Thank you guys

Fire away !! I've got a useless 2gb here

I've ruined my sdcard
Just format the card in a photo camera.
Or do it like me, and format it in Windows Mobile 6.5.3.
Simple.
dude post the tut already.
Many people would appreciate this and not just HD2 users.
GG
I inserted my card in an external card reader and formatted it with SD formatter.
Worked perfectly.
Ok cool. Glad it worked. To each his own I guess lol...I myself do not own a digital card reader nor a digital camera or any apparatus to read Micro SD CARDs so this guide is what worked for me and I posted it to help people who may find themselves in my shoes.

I used Gpart and booting via MAGLDR --> USB Storage --> partitioned SD into a FAT32 and EXT3, so you're directly ready for Android NAND ROM

Genius! worked great! Thanks!
question: what do you mean by "ruined"? Other devices not recognizing the card or something else??
I have a 4GB card but my PC and Android read it as it has 200mb memory total... is that what happens???
I have WP7 now, so it means that its using the rest of my memory rite??
EDIT: Zune software says that i have 2gb free, so im guessing yea
it works!!
Genius, it works!!! thanks man.
To those who reflash back to an android nand
If you go back to an Android Nand build, and you have reflashed android back onto your phone, all you have to do to reformat your card is:
1) Make sure card is inserted in the phone
2) Go to SD card and phone storage under settings
3) Erase SD card data
I had a 32G card. After flashing WP7 all other devices could only read 200megs.
After following steps above, the SD card was reformatted back to 32G being readable by all devices.
No need to download any software, or use a Nokia. Anyway this worked for me, hope this helps
just worked perfect, thanks a lot!!
thank you, worked on both my micro sdhc cards
Is this a solution for a HTC HD2 Windows pHone 7 .... ? to get it work
works perfectly!!!! thanx a million
It just reorganize partitions in SDcard.
Alternativly you can just use any partitioning tool to fix the problem.
Fortunately,one of my SD cards came with a small Lexar card reader so i just used that in my usb port. I did notice that WP7 had used up just about all my memory on the card but the reader actually has an option to format,so i did that and now i have a clean 16GB card again. I saw a tutorial explaining how to put WP7 (well,the memory it uses on SD anyway) and Android from SD on the same card and i really want to try that but...with WP7,it keeps resetting itself after it recovers from sleep mode. if they can fix that,imma try it !!
Sweet! SD formatter is much faster than any Partition Manager! Thanks.
Exactly, I just get to the bootscreen, installed a new rom. Bye bye WP7, then in phone extra's SD Format and ready
Why my GoodRam 8GB 4class not worked on this OS?

Try to format the SD with Panasonic SDFormatter...
This card doesn't work properly, I had to change it to Sandisk 8GB class 2 to make WP7 work.
So, is no hope for this card and WP7?
I formating card earlier, but still dosen't work.

Few times it worked okay, but until restarting the phone, then problems started again, so best option for you is to buy sandisk class 2 card.
please help. i have installed WP7 on my HD2 but cant get to my sd card (photos,music etc.). anyone know what the problem is? thank you
What make is your SD card? Was it in the phone when you flashed WP7?
its a kingston 8gb sd card. and card wasnt been in phone whenever i flashed WP7.
wp7 was never designed to support ejectable memory like sd cards. Of course there is a internal (beacaus you have to open the back cover) sd card. So you have to insert the sd card at the first reboot or make a hard reset. wp7 will integrate the sd card to its memory. If you change the card, you have to do the same procedure.
you need to put SD card in BEFORE you flash it or plug in the SD card and do a hard reset
also copy everything of your SD card as windows will format it
to be clear
Installing Windows phone 7 WILL delete everything on that card so back it up before!!
thank you all guys. that was very helpful

turn off the device, hold down the buttons - vol up and vol down, then tap the power button, keep holding the vol up and down and you will get the a message to reset your phone. i believe its vol down to clear and vol down again once its finished.
The phone will reboot, and should install windows again, if it doesnt the go in to magldr and reflash the ROM
oh and keep the SD card in this time!
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

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...

without trying to sound too cheeky, your card is compatible, try another one, there is no working list of cards, its blind luck
did you try this?
xboxmod said:
troubleshooting:
Majority of problem during update are caused by SDcard
try different model to be sure.
you can install without sd until build 7392 try if you have big problem.
then insert sd and hardreset.
Do hard reset after all update if you have freeze or any problem
(When Magldr show WPH LOAD 12345 GO GO GO Press Vol+ & Vol- then after the new screen press VOL- twice.)
NOT all SD Cards are compatible with WP7.
If your card isn't compatible with WP7, it won't be used for data storage &
it may cause random reboots,freeze & update error.
It very recommended to use SDHC 2Go minimum.
Use a good quality SDcard for best performance .
Some SDcards are not compatibles but very few, for other the microsoft drivers are not good in versions before 7392
So if you have any problems with SDcard after first 7004 flash (boot in loop) or can't upgrade 7008 do this:
- Flash the rom without SDcard
Or if you have already flashed remove it and do a factory reset
- After system loaded, update to 7392 without SD card
- After booting succesfully 7392 go in settings/about and reset the phone
- When phone reboot insert your SDcard
- You will load system and the SDcard should works well now
- Continue to update to 7720 but this time with SDcard

GREAT tips... i started w 7004 with card in.. after reset it goes continous load indicates my 4GB class4 is not recognised.
Reflash with XBMod 7392 without card and all went well. Reset the phone, while started to boot i insert the other 8GB Class2 card and it works!! Now my ext storage is at 7GB!!
Going for MANGO w the card in and see how it goes....
