Hi all
Just want to share my experience. Don't know whether it was a result of me flashing my TP but just recently when I wanted to add some songs on to my sdhc card (which is in my TP) I noticed that I couldn't. Also when I delete some files, once I refreshed the screen, it would still be there. Noticed that something was going on when I couldn't save pics to my sd card, thought it was due to the NRG rom but now it's confirmed that the card will not delete/add other files on to it. I've had this card since I bought my tp 2 years ago
Whatever is on the card is fine, like my previous programs that were installed and my music which was there before. It is still usable, only with what is there.
I tried to format the card - after almost 24h of formating - it gave an error (forgot what it was though)
So, next time you flash, might want to remove that sd card?
i ve nrg Rom (ernergy style), too and a 16 GB sdhc card ... i never take it out when flashing new roms & i flash nearly every new rom that comes out, never had such issues as you have... maybe hardware error: did you controll/format (fat-format) your card with special progs as SDFormatter from Panasonic?
hi, no i just used initially via windows and then via command prompt. forgot about sdformat...
will google & try,
thanks for reminding me

I am having some trouble with my 4gb card in my XV6800. I have had it since January and been happily adding things to it and deleting them at will. Now I am having a problem with it however. I can add things to it through My Computer etc on windows and it shows up fine. But after a few hours when I go back into it on File Explorer on the phone any changes I have made are not in effect.
This includes both things that I added that are not there, and things that I have deleted that re-appear. Any ideas? It is not helping my wanting to install cabs and set up my UC config as you can imagine.
I know that they are transferring at some point because I m,anaged to install a cab from there last night, this morning, the original cab and folder is gone.
I'd suggest backing up everything currently on the card first, then formatting it using a card reader. Once the format completes, restore your files and see if your problems still exist.
P.S. Any microsd card <= 2gb will work for flashing. Anything > 2gb won't.

I agree with this... backup your storage card, and format it using software on your device such as CNETX FlashFormat... that seemed to do the trick when I was having issues related to the Storage Card
I was getting the error" file protected". I did lots of research, tried to format it in both my phone and laptop to no avail. I used diffrent software,nothing gave. Some people claim that putting clear tape on the SD adapter lock did the trick for them. Anyway, I contacted SD as my last resort,got an RMA and now I am awaiting a replacement. I did a back up and transferred all to 1 GB that I had as a back up.
FYI
I used SD Formatter V2.O and Hard disk Wipe tool (hddguru.com) , Format claimed to be successful but data was always there. This started after I installed TOMTOM maps on the card. Good luck man
there is a cab to enable sd cards over 2GB for the titan
i suggest some searching, if i come across it ill post the link
I have Tom Tom on my card, but then I have done from the start and I have only had the problems pretty recently. My computer wont read the card in the built in card reader in my computer, but it reads the new 1gb one fine.
Also, the phone does recognize it because I can play music off it, I just cannot add files to it or delete from it.
I have tried to format it with CNETX FlashFormat and it doesn't seem to work, everything is still on there as before.
Very annoying, I am going to contact SanDisk
Good idea man, it sounds like you have the same prob I do. Try putting tape on the protection switch on the adapter. It didn't work for me but who knows!
Hello folks,
I figured I would go to the experts to get an answer to my question.
On my universal I was running Windows Mobile 6.1, I didn't really like it as the phone was unstable, so I downgraded to Tmobile Windows Mobile 5 (which is what ships on the phone) everything is running smooth (Shout out to SPB Shell 3.0 AWESOME!!!)
anyways after the downgrade which went through without incident, my SD card reader does not SD cards, I know it is not hardware because it worked fine when the device was running WM6.1.
Anyome have any ideas as to what happened?
the device simply does not recognize any size, 32MB all the way to 2GB.
I have searched and found nothing.
Anyone have an updated driver for the SDCard reader?
I have extRom installed so I can put whatever I want into EXTRom and have it install.

It's because native WM5 can't use SDHC (SD cards are only up to 2GB). I think you can simply install SD settings by OllieD - where you can change to Type 1 or 2. Sorry unless someone else can help, you'll have to search for it.
I think i have the same issue.
The device sometimes see the card when set to standard SD or SDHC Type-I but it's really inconsistent.
Driving me nuts.
I had a similar problem, i had to eject and reinsert the card multiple times to get it to see it. The card SEEMED fine because it would work in my pc (via usb adapter)) and digital camera with no problems. But when i tried the one from the camera in the universal it worked fine, absolutely no problems.
So I bought a new sandisk one from ebay and all has been fine since, seems like it was being picky about the original SD!
i think, the sd card is formatted fat16
you formatted with "Haret"?
Haret?
Sorry for the noob question, but what do you mean?
I have tried formatting the card fat16, fat32, NTFS
nothing works
I have even tried install SD settings by OllieD adn that did not work
according to the specs I should be able to use my 2GB Sandisk Extreme III 2.0 GB SD Card, but alas my uni just does not see it.
any other suggerstions tips?
Also does spbsoftwarehouse's backup work really well?
I want to try some other ROMS on the device and I dread having to reinstall everything and reconfigure it too.
I would much rather back the dang thing up then experiment with various ROMS and then if nothing is to my liking, put my old ROM back with all my 'stuff'.
I have similiar problem.
In the past I have changed many ROM's from Tomal and many others. WM 5, 6.1, 6.5 and never had a problem with the card.
My last ROM where everything worked was Luca15thebig. After that I wanted to go back to Tomal V8.9 and then my problem started:
I did DOC format (always do that), put Tomal's ROM - ups, no SD card (with any SD card settings).
Did some searching on the forum, found similiar problem which was solved by flashing some factory shipped i-mate ROM. Again, DOC format, flashing that ROM (it is all-in-one ROM: radio, ext-rom and operating system). Booted that system (wow, time-warp to past ), frankly I didnt expect that my 8GB SDHC will work there - and it didnt.
Again DOC format> flashing Tomal V8.9 ROM> upgrading radio (that i-mate ROM reverted it back to 1.03). After a while booted Uni with Tomal's ROM, no SD card. Tried all settings, nothing.
Tried same thing but with that new Thing V2.3 ROM (very fast and stable BTW). Same thing - no SD card in file explorer.
My card works in my laptop. I even tried to format it in laptop - and my Uni still dont see it.
My friend has an Uni and I tried that card in his device. It works (he is using Tomal V8.7 ROM). Tried his 1GB SD card in my Uni - not working in my device.
Im no specialist but i think you guys have a hardware issue with the SD port. Maybe loose or something inside. Hope thats not the case. If multiple cards using multiple Roms do not work in Uni but work anywhere else then I would have someone or myself check to make sure the SD slot is soldered properly still.
i've encounted many issues with the SD + sdhc drivers for the universal, i'llw rite up a longer post with more information later as i've had a long day.
summary: keep trying different cabs, one will eventually work. make sure its formatted FAT32. popping it in and out+softresetitng a few times may be required.
I've updated my ROM to the new official HTC rom and now my SD card now keeps getting lost! If I remove and replace it, the phone finds it and works fine for a while but then any applications that use the card stop working and when I check the memory, it says "Not Installed". HTC have been their usual helpful selves (not!), when I told them it was a 16Gb Sandisk they said the Jade can only use 4Gb cards. Strange how its worked perfectly for the past 8 months.
On a different note, does Net 3.5 have to installed on the Device or can it go on the card?
Any help would be much appriciated. If not, its Flash time!
Regards,
Woolly.
Just an update on this thread. I managed to get the SD working again but it needed formatting and not just any format. The standard format option on the PC didn't work, had to download a formatting tool. It had also corrupted the card enough to make it difficult to retrieve all of the data on it, so some was lost.
Is the new ROM any good? Can't see much of a differance except for the improvement to Opera. On balance I wouldn't recomend updating.
Woolly.
I tried to install some of the new manilla roms yesterday (with the ebook reader) and everytime my device rebooted manilla got stuck after some time not doing anything. So i first installed a stock rom to clean up my device and tried again.... still nothing. Finally i decided to take out my memmorycard (16gb) and see what happens. Suddenly manilla booted with success. so decided to format my sd card and everything was ok again... took me a day to find out so i decided to post this for users having the same problems.
greetings

There have been known problems with 16gb cards on the 2.02 Manila so I suspect there maybe on the new 2.07 as well.
I think the general problem is that manila is scanning your SD card for things like music and pictures etc, so whenever you boot just remove the SD card untill manila shows and then reinsert it. My 8GB sd card gives me these issues if I have too many files on it (storing your kitchen on the sd card can do this as there are 30k+ files in it!)
Storage Card Problems
It seems that whenever i use about 10 gb of my storage card this happens. It happend to me 2 times now. I never mind formatting my storage card. I think it's good to make a clean start ones in a while. Plus i have back ups of my most important stuff. Now it's running like a charm again.
greets baskient.
if someone could help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated.
ever since about 3 days into flashing freshes 0.1 ROM, I have been getting unexplained SD problems. for example,
1) I would open up the camera and I would get an error mesage saying " cannot write to SD card: no sufficient privileges.
2)when i open up my music app,(I have about 10 albums of music in my music folder on my SD Card), I get a force close, or just no music would show up at all.
3) when i use a file explorer like ASTRO, I would go into a folder that I know has files in it, yet it's showing me an empty folder, or when i try to delete a file i would just get an error message.
4) and finally, when I open up my gallery, it would either get a force close, or say SD card is unmounted, or just show no pictures at all.
I updated freshes 0.2 rom thinking it may have solved the problem. but it didn't
then flashed Damage's 3.0 Rom and still same problems.
Is this software related or just my SD card going bad,( its the stock 8GB card that came with it.
It never used to be like this. just started happening about 3 days ago
I posted this in Q&A but no answers. thought posting here would help out more.
The OTA update is supposed to fix this issue for good. If you don't want to do the OTA, then just try formatting the SD card while connected to your computer.
I have been having the same exact issue with my EVO. I started on the fresh.1 then .2. I tried 2 other roms and still was having the same issue.
After a reboot it would work for a little bit then work off and on.
I downloaded the sd-formatting tool and did a full erase and format while connected to a windows box. Then reformatted again with the evo.
Same issue still.
I plan on ordering a new class 6 sd card from new egg tomorrow to see if it is just a batch of bad/faulty sd cards.
If you haven't installed the OTA update, there really isn't much fault with the device itself, seeing as how it's already been fixed.
I'm currently running:
RvU 1.3.2.
"This is based off of the latest leaked RUU that has the OTA update included (1.32.651.6)."
I thought the OTA update is built into most of the ROMs currently available or am I missing something.
If not how do you go about installing it. I have had the phone check for updates but it says that there are no update available.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is my first android devise so I'm a little new to this.
im running omj's 1.3 rom and i have the sdcard issue all the damn time its driving me nuts.. is the fix not in this rom or does it not matter ? it seems like any time i use a file system too to access the fs or use dropbox or anything the sdcard gets all fu**ed up and i need a reboot to fix it.

let me know if this fixes things
I just placed my order on newegg for a new class 6 sd card. So we will see in a couple days if this fixes it or if I'm just missing something.
I swapped sd cards with a friends EVO and it words perfectly in mine. I have downloaded about 150MB of podcasts to the sd card without issue. Astro manager is now able to drill down and has no issues seeing sub folders.
I will post back if I have any other issues as well as when I get my new SD to confirm that it is still working without issue.
I was having the same intermittent issue with the sd card, running the OMJ EVO 2.1 Eclair v1.3 ROM...swapped out the sd card with one from my old samsung jack and so far I have not had any issues...tried to duplicate the sd card errors just doing what i normally do but seems to be working fine now...
so its just bad SD cards being shipped out with them?
@halehouse what Gig is the SD card you ordered? Im looking for a 32gig class 6 microsd and cant find one ANYWHERE. except the scandisk website...if i wanted to pay 200 for it

I just orders an 8Gig class 6 card.
A few days ago the second sd card that I had gotten from another EVO (that was about to be taken back to sprint) failed. Showing blank card, and several format attempts did nothing.
I dot my new class 6 sd card from new egg 2 days ago and it is working perfectly so far. Faster transfer rates also.
I think it may be an issue with the sd cards but I really not for sure.
