HTC HD2 wifi error and SD card not founf. SOLUTION - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi, I have an HTC HD2 with android NAND NexusHD2-Froyo V1.9G NAND. Have no sd card recognized and can't activate my wifi cause give an error. I was really mad about this problem and I notice there is no solution for some guys like me, so now I found a trick to solve it and maybe you find it usefull.
1. Turn off cellphone.
2. Remove SIM Card and SD micro card.
3. Turn on. Active the "only 2g network" in settings.
4. Reset, and keep the back cover open.
5. When turn ON, go to settings again and enter the sd card settings. There is no info cause there is no sd card insert.
6. As the back is open you can now insert the sd card. THE CARD SHOULD BE NOW AVAILABLE.
7. Go to activate wifi in wireless connection settings. For me is working.
8. Now active the Airplain Mode. And turn off you phone again.
9. Extract the SD microcard. Put the SIM CARD. Leave back cover open.
10. Turn ON. Deactivate Plain mode. Now you should get call signal. But again no sd and wifi
11. Repeating step 6. Go to SD card settings and insert SD card.
12. Try wifi and SD card. ALL WORKIN.
I hope it work for you. Please forget for my english.

Hi Shingo, hi all!
Finally somebody with the similar problem as mine...I was browsing and searching all over the net for the solution or workaround but without any success!
And it starts to drive me completely crazy!
Well I have HD2 with "CORE Droid 1.3 NAND" Android, and my main problem is something as yours but not exactly the same.
In my case, I CAN turn on WiFi after rebooting a phone, and it's working flawlessly UNTIL phone goes into standby. After 10mins or so (obviously after phone goes into complete sleep) when I wake up the phone I can see that my WiFi connection is gone and I CAN'T turn it back on cause it gives an error which you can see in Wireless settings (WiFi - Error).
Then, because of the obvious reason (wifi's not working), or maybe something else, all the apps which are depending on refreshing it's data from wifi (push mail, maps...) are force closing, starting with Google Services Framework, Maps, Beautiful Weather Widget...
I wanted to try your solution but if I pull out SD card and SIM card my phone doesn't even wants to boot up. Obviously because it has some crucial data stored on one of the partitions on SD card.
Another thing is that, if I pull out SIM card and boot I can't change anything in network settings...?!
I'm really not an expert, but maybe your Android NAND build is so much different than mine, so I can't apply your fix/solution...
If somebody else has an idea or maybe a possible solution, or even an advice what to do I would be so grateful!!!
Thank you all in advance!

Hi,
Just an update to my problem. Yesterday morning I've cloned (formated ext and copied) my Kingmax 16GB SD card to spare one I have which is also 16GB in capacity but from SanDisk.
I can confirm that from that time I didn't have either force closing apps or WiFi errors.
I don't know if somebody will find this information useful , but it saved me from my despair! I was really going crazy.
Since I'm using NAND CORE Droid v1.3 which has some of it's data on ext partition it even make sense that better/faster/just-another-brand SD card makes such a difference.
But, as I said, I'm just a noob here....if somebody has another opinion or suggestion, it's more than welcome
Thanx

Storage Card Problems(this is a long one)

Hey Guys,
I've been having a TON of problems with my storage card lately. I was using doubletwist to sync music when the problems first happened. Basically the storage card flipped out, it wouldnt allow any access either through the computer or on the phone. So i turned off the phone popped the Storage Card out and then back in. When I plugged my HD2 back into the computer i discovered that all my files on the storage card had been deleted.
I called t-mobile customer care and they told me to call the htc accessories line to get a new one. Did that and the lady says theres nothing they can do as all the cards are back ordered.
I'm worried that its going to happen again, and on top of all this my 16 GB Storage card is now 971 MB, i was adding my applications when it said the card was full so i checked and thats what the computers giving me.
I figured that maybe if i formatted the card it would work but i cant find that option anywhere when i right click on the card when plugged into the computer.
So basically all i have now is a 971 MB Sd card with a few applications on it instead of the 16 GB preloaded SD card that held about 200 pictures taken with the phones camera(that are now gone along with Transformers and everything else that was on the phone)
Sorry for the long rant guys but im really frustrated...
Any Help?
Have you connected the phone to the PC in 'disk drive' mode? If not, then do that to 1) be absolutely sure you can't see/recover any of the files, and then 2) to format it (it has to be connected this way for that option to be available)
I'm not an expert on here (more of a "user" than a "maker") but I have had my share of SD card problems.
If you are using the class 2 card that came with your phone, order a class 4 or class 6. The class 2's are known to cause performance problems for the HD2. When I upgraded to my class 6, I noticed the difference right away on graphics-heavy apps that use the SD card in realtime (i.e. not just to store profiles).
You need to decide if you simply want to get your SD card back or try and save data on it first. If you just want to format it and start over, try these:
Try first using the sd formatter in your HD2, in the "Tools" folder.
If you have a card reader or a card slot in your Windows PC, try inserting the card (or, as sirphunkee said, mount your HD2 as "disk drive" and not as active sync) and go to control panel > administrative tools > computer management > Disk Management and see if Windows can read your card. If it can, you should be able to right click on the drive and select "format". You could also try assigning it a new drive letter. Sometimes it seems to kick start the Drive Management services into accessing your card with a proper mount.
Download SD Formatter from Panasonic. Sometimes when windows can't do it, this program can.
If you have an uBuntu OS installed, sometimes using gParted is also effective.
I have also seen threads on here about downloading the default factory files that should already be on the card, with links...
Hope this helps. But bottom line you should definitely NOT wait for another crappy class 2 card from TMo/HTC and go get a class 6 (you can find them easily enough online for about $50).

So instead of using active sync to connect use disk drive mode. Got it, but once i do that if there were files to recover i would see them correct?

Yes, as long as you're looking at the card's contents via file explorer on the pc, not the phone...the one one the phone won't be able to see the card at all when it's connected that way.
Basically, when you connect in disk drive mode, the pc handles the card just like a regular external USB hard drive.
You'll probably be able to format and use it again now that you're connecting it that way, but if it still acts up then go through any and all of mfrey's steps above, including just upgrading to a higher-class card if possible. The stock cards that come with the HD2 seem to be somewhat inconsistent in quality and potentially unreliable, and as he said the speed difference of a faster card can definitely be noticible in every day use.
i connected the phone via disk drive mode as suggested but i had the same results after connecting multiple times so i decided to format the card through the phone as mfrey suggested. After doing so the card still reads as a total of 971 MB both on the phone when checked under settings and on the computer.
Im going to try going to t-mobile to see what they say about my problem because i dont see how this could happen, ive been using this sd card for about three months and up til a few days ago it worked perfectly
Wish me luck guys

Were you able to see the drive in Drive Management in Administrative Tools? If so, when you right-clicked it, was there an option to delete partition? Did you try SD Formatter (it's free)?
If it's the factory class 2 that came with your phone, it could be bricked...

Memory Card Failure

Had a 16GB memory card in my HD2 for about 6 months. Yesterday it failed for no apparent reason. Anyone else had this happen? Or any idea as to how I could get the data back? Tried it on my PC in a card reader, but it just says 'Please insert disk...'
Not that big a deal, but its a hassle as most of my apps and icons, and all my TomTom maps were stored on the card
quite a few have had memory cards fail whilst using them in the hd2
same here
also had a new (ebay/unbranded) 8Gb micro SD card fail on me last week after only 6 days of use. Completely fried - PC refused to recognise it existed at all. Lucikly had been syncing entire contents daily to a backup folder on my home NAS using GoodSync so returned to ebayer for replacement and then re-synced with no data loss.
I had a similar experience, not with my HD2 but with my previous HD. The card appears in the directory only for a few seconds and then disappears, on every fresh reboot of the phone (not sure if that's your case too). So what I did was to have the phone boot-up while connected to the PC, and copy the data from it as quick as possible before it 'disappears'. Once I did that and had all my info safe, I formatted the card and it worked fine afterwards. Never knew what exactly had caused the failure though, but fortunately I was able to recover the data as described.
Had a failure with a 16GB mSD Sandisk in my HTC Touch HD Blackstone 2 months ago after 2,5 years of heavy use. Parts of my data were corrupted and phone froze.
mSD was still recognized by PC but unable to write or copy any data any more. Also no luck with recovery apps for PC.
I dunno if it was the Blackstone that fu..** the card or vice versa, the ROM of my Blackstone was fu..** too. I flashed G10s Ultimate Dusk, have a new sd card and now works fine again.
Sh.. happens once in a while

[Q] (Question) No WIFI on HTC HD2 with WP7

Hi everybody,
I installed the WP7, everything seem to work, but no WIFI. Bluetooth works, voice works, camera and video..Everything but WIFI. It just says "searching.." but nothing happens.
DO I need to unlock the phone and use Cheveron to get WIFI? Can anybody help? I'm using Sandisk SD 2GB card.
**BTW
I'm from Israel, we don't have the WP7 here yet, so Microsoft IL don't even know what I'm talking about regarding the activation code. Sent mail to the US office, hope it'll go through.

this has been reported to be caused by an incomatible sd card. read HERE through the posts and you will find out more.
I think I read almost every thread possible regarding WP7 wifi. Looked there, will look again. Thanks.
Are you sure IT didnt work and your sdcard is compatible?
If yes try a low WLAN channel instead of a high one, i cant connect to my own WLAN if i use WLAN channel 11-13...dont know why
You could try removing your sd card and rebooting. Bear in mind it will essentially reset to default (new) install. And will format your sd card when inserted again. So be prepared to start from scratch.
Same with me, it found every other wifi except my own one. My solution was to switch off my phone, switch off my wifi. Then switch on my phone. Then switched on my wifi, and it found it.
Worked for me, with out taking out SD Card.

Had the same problem, phone could find other wifi but not my own. This solved it though.
I had a similar problem too.
Wifi was working on the most WiFi networks, except for mine.
It was necessary to enable Reverse Access to router. . .

[Q] Weird problem with rooted nook

I am running one of the nightlies on my sd card. The last couple of weeks my nook has been acting weird. It doesn't automatically log onto my wifi, doesn't save calender settings, doesn't stay logged on for google voice and several other random app crashes.
I took the sd card out and tried to put the latest nightly on it and I received an error stating "the device is no longer attached" or something like that. A fellow member suggested that it might be the micro sd adapter so I ordered another one. As I wait for it to arrive, I was wondering do my symptoms sound like the sd card itself is going bad? Any help would be appreciated.
By "one of the nightlies" do you mean the CM9 builds that are being put out? I know with those wifi connection has always been a problem and typically a turn off/on restores connection. I believe there was calendar issues as well that someone had to use a different gapps for.

No cm7. Probably from 2 months ago. The calendar I use is Jorte.
I also just tried to uninstall Jorte and when I rebooted the nook, the program was back. Looks like I might have to format the sd card
I got a new adapter and was able to move data to and from my sd card but I was unable to format the card. I tried formatting from my pc, disk manager, and cmd prompt and all failed. The command prompt gave me the following error "invalid media or track 0, disk is unusable".
Does that mean my sd card died?

Problems with USB and synching

I often have problems when I want to copy data on the phone or get it from the phone on the HDD. It works in general but often it justs hangs and then I have to restart the phone which only shows "synchronising" and doesn#t do anything anymore. Another thing not working very well is accessing data (photos or videos) directly from the sd card. I often get errors when trying to do this. Any ideas?
EDIT:
Now I got a message while copying data "device not working anymore"... What's wrong here?
You can try using a different USB cable or trying a different SD card. I think based on your post it's probably a card going bad.
Hm, it's a class 10 card, h igh quality, worked fine in my HTC desire...
