[Q] Help! No SD Card

Hi all,
Sorry if the post is misplaced i have a zte v9c and havent found any place else to place the question.
The problem is i cant have access to my sd card, already tried with other cards and it allways says no sd-card.
The only way i managed to solve was restoring an older version of the rom. Im using cm7.
When i go to CW and try to mount sdcard it says no app2sd or something like that.
Cant restore the rom now without the sd card any solution like odin or any other??
Thanks in advance.

Try flashing an older version of CW
Hit THANKS if I helped you

Hi,
Sorry for my english maybe i didnt explain correctly.
How can i do it without SD, something like odin? where can i find it and a rom to apply with it..

i never had this problem and i never heard of it but try installing a previous version of cm7 to check if the sd card works like that or you can try to mount the sd card in clockwork mod recovery

Hi,
Yes thats what i want, but how? Cant place rom on sd
Thanks

since it says no app2sd i would guess you need to flash the app2sd script

thats when in clockwork recovery a choose format /sd-ext
it says:
No app2sd card partition found. Skipping format...
How can i flash with pc? no access to any storage on tablet cant do it on device.
I guess it would be like flashing with odin, a pda file or something... any such thing for ztev9?

ok i understand your problem you have no access to the SD Card but i have a solution for you mate flash a rom using windows with ADB http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/ a simple google search will show lots of examples how to flash a rom directly from your pc
EDIT: i use linux and not windows prefer linux over windows any day but if you cant access the sd card use ADB Shell or Fastboot its also available on windows

Thats it.. Thanks ill give it a try.
what rom do you recomend to try this?

on my blade im using the latest cm7 kang which is built by burgerz its available in my cm7 kang development thread mate i found it stable but once wbaw starts releasing his kangs il be using his cm7 kang versions

HD2 Ics sd access

Hi All ,
I have hunted high and low and cant believe I have to ask this ,
is there a way to access sd via usb/pc on Htc hd2 with ics 4.0.3 - other than removing card totally ? ,
thanks

Dual mount sd app !
works a treat

It should work without any app..... just connect your htc via usb with pc... then choose in pulldownmenu "activate usb" and it should be recognized.
Other way is to boot into recovery cwm and mount it from there as usb storage.
For me im using icecreamtosti by xylo and it works like it should be.
Good luck!

Try "SD Formatter-SD Association" google for it and to be on the safe side then a fresh install of the ROM which I don't know you're using should work.

[Q] How to fix my problem...

Hi, I'm having problem to flash my HTC HD2 back to android after flashing my HD2 to Windows Phone. The error that I'm having right now is to unable to mount SD Card. Everytime i've tried to mount /SDcard, an error Unable to mount /sdcard occured.
I've tried so many options but still no avail. Tried to use adb shell command but still unable to mount. So, I've tried to run android using SD Card, my phone stuck at port-a-droid screen and keep rebooting. At first, I though it was the SD card but when I tried on my friends HD2, the SD Android can boot and no problem.
I can't think what is the main problem as when I've load back to WP7, my sdcard can be detected and use as a storage and even in Magldr.
Hope someone could shed some light to my problem as i really love this phone.

Ok, follow these steps and you should be fine:
1. Flash task29 by placing task29.nbh onto root of SD card and holding volume down and power button while phone is OFF
2. Flash magldr or CLk
3. Flash recovery
I highly recommend HD2 Toolkit for this if you are not experienced. just google HD2 Toolkit and you will see the xda thread
Goodluck!

Thanks for your reply.
I will try it and hopefully it will solve my problem.
I will post again for the result. Thanks again.

Hi again.
I've tried the step that you suggested using the toolkit but still the same problem.
I'm still unable to boot android from the SD as it keeps reboot after showing the port to droid ultimate screen.
Try to install rom via sdcard still giving me the same can't mount error.
Any other suggestion?
I quit confuse on what reason this is happening as when installing WP7, sdcard can be detected. But when I've flash to Stock Desire HD using DFT (as is the only method that I cn use to install android) my sdcard can be detected by the android os.
It's kinda weird actually...

Have you tried simply formatting your SD card to FAT32? This often solves issues involving the SD card

Oh my bad i thought you were trying to reinstall nand after coming from windows phone.
But yes try what nigeldg suggested, also, make sure your setup (SD card folders, startup.txt etc) is correct as well, thats honestly where it seems like its failing. But without the device its hard to try myself

Hi, thanks for your reply.
Actually I did want to reinstall android from WP7 however when i enter recovery mode and choose install from the zip file, I get can't mount sdcard.
I've been trying a lot of things, format using sd formatter, format to FAT32, swap with another sdcard and even purchase new sdcard also gave me the same error. Even trying to fix using adb also fail or maybe I'm not expert enough to fix using adb. Found a topic in the forum by modifying initrd.rc (if i'm not mistaken) my knowledge is still shallow, so I dare not to try such attempt yet.
Do you think using Clk would solve my problem rather using Magldr? Maybe I should give it a try.
As for the boot android from sd is an effort for me to run android as a temporary solution while trying to figure out NAND installation problem but that method also fail.
I've already format my card using FAT32 (but will try to reformat again later), but copy all the android file into the folder and try to reboot from sdcard. Only got to loading screen of port-a-droid ultimate and then my phone reboot. But when I insert the same sdcard into my friends HD2, it boot into the android without a problem as I'm facing right now.
So I don't know what's the different between his HD2 and mine.
Hopefully someone could help me.

After reading this, and thinking about it for awhile, to eliminate ALL software issues, i would flash stock TMOUS or your carrier's stock Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM and try the sd card there. It almost sounds like youre having a hardware issue. Or wait a minute, what programs did you use to format your SD card? there might be a partition still on it that recovery isnt liking, download mIni tool partition wizard and delete all partitions then create a fat32 partition set as primary. Or use HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool that takes forever but it does an excelent job at erasing completely the contents (master boot records, paritions, data, everything) and restores it to a fresh state. every time i get any sort of external media i use this tool to completely wipe it clean. if problems still persist we may need to move to a google talk chat session or something so i can talk to you as you move through some steps.

Good question lol i have the stock TMOUS ROM, and a custom ROM. The only problem with those is the radio will most likely brick the device.
What carrier do you have? im pretty good at tracking down files on the net. I would start with the carriers website, then go to HTC's website. its 100% out there, just gotta get the blood hounds out and sniff it down i found a 12 year old program (simple .exe file) that would compare two folder directories and output there results to a text file so its definately out there
And i say it might be a hardware issue since you claimed it booted on your friends HD2, thus ruling out a bad SD card, or bad software setup. These devices arent that hard to pull apart, ive had mine a apart more times than i change my underwear xP
So if it is hardware related, prolly a pin thats not connecting 100% (Hopefully) you can easily rip it apart and bend the pin to make contact.
Well the best to ya if you need help finding the stock ROM just post your specs of the carrier and what not and i'll try to help ya. Also if you need anything else you know wher to find me

Thanks again. I will try to find stock rom first. If not, I will post again.
Btw, is it possible for me to pull out (or create an image) of the stock ROM as my brother had a friend that ask me to convert his HD2 to Android. But just to be save, I want to extract the original stock rom first just in case and at the same time i could use it to restore my HD2.
Do you think it is caused by the hware. Because if it is, would it also effecting WP7 rom also. A bit weird as WP7 could access my sdcard without an issue. I don't know as i'm no expert in mobile device.
If my device is bricked either because of the radio or others, is it possible to un-brick it.
Anyway, thanks. Will be posting again soon.
If still couldn't solve, then i will just stick to WP7 and sold the unit instead.

I forgot to ask. If my device came from WM6.5, should I flash the radio first or HSPL?

Here are the stock ROMs for the UK, so the ones for your carrier are probably on the HTC website somewhere Try searching through your country's branch of the htc website (i.e. rather than htc.com/uk try your country's code) and you will most probably find the ROM you're looking for. If you're flashing from WinMo you flash HSPL>Radio>MAGLDR/cLK>CWM>ROM (in response to your second post)

I'm reasonably sure you can, as that says it's just a generic software update. Try it out and see if it helps your SD issue and report back

[Q] hudge problem with sd card

Hello. I have a hudge problem with my phone. Somehow it automatically unmounts and remounts my sd card for no reason no matter what rom I use. Sometimes it unmounts my sd card and don't mount for a month. Sometimes it gives damaged sd card error and asks to format it but when I insert my card to tablet and it detects no errors. What could be the problem? Can anyone help me fix this?

You must clearing ext partition in recovery and format sdcard. + set min cpu fraquancy on 245Mhz.

didn't help

If it does happen with all roms you've tested, including stock 2.1 then your SD card is propably faulty. You formatted it under Windows?

I can't try stock rom because it says that my recovery is to new. SD card can't be faulty because it is new. I had other sd card earlier but my phone didn't recognized it so I bought new. And i have formatted under Windows.

Which ROM are you using?

Now using cm9
Sent from my Acme TB02 using xda app-developers app

Then you have to check different roms and kernels to see under which your SD card works properly. I suggest trying newest AOSP / SDSL or CM 7.2 by Tejas build three.

Maybe is the slot of your SD Card, Why?:
Using every ROM, same device and same problem = device
Used other device and everything ok = the "other" device
So, definitely your slot on your device is bad. Good Luck!

Just delete all partitions and make new (FAT32) with some Live CD if U don't have Linux on PC (for best get gParted Live).
Next put it in Your phone and partition again with CWM 6.0, or just use fat32.
Some customized roms mess up sd card if it has /swap.
Noticed this in some 2.3 custom rom, but don't remember name of it.

Best method for backups

I'm quite new to using my droid razor M so I wanted to know what would be the best method to do backups. I have I believe it's called CWM on my phone but I'm having an issue with it. When I try to do a backup to an external sd or choosing just backup and ends up saying there is no sd card found but I have a 16gb sd card in my phone. Am I doing something wrong or is there a better method for backups ? Thanks for your help !

You can use TWRP and perform a nandroid backup to your external sdcard, or use Titanium Backup.
