Hi,
So I have this weird issue.
My microSD sanDisk 8GB worked fine with my first NAND Rom (NexusHD2-Froyo_V1.9G_NAND).
Then I wanted to try a new Rom so I flashed to another Rom (DL.DesireZ.v3.4.final.nand). Before doing this I also fully formatted my SD to FAT32.
I had my microSD in the phone while flashing the second one. And after the boot, it didn't not recognize th SD at all, "preparing your SD" didn't even appear. So I try to put the microSD into PC, and it still recognizes it. I can moves files into it and it works. But the phone just the doesn't read the SD.
Then I tried my friends SD, I did a full format to FAT32. And guess what, it works.
So, the only conclusion I can come to is there's something wrong with my SD and the cause was the second rom.
P.S. I'm back to my first Rom now. And still, SD card unmounted or not present.
Sucks you lost your SD card but the rom or magldr did not damage your card you must of done something wrong to where your phone is not reading the card. You should wipe everything and try again chances are it will work like a charm.
Formatting
Hi, thanks for reply. I tried to reformat 3 times already with a same result.
My settings are:
FAT32 (FULL FORMAT)
Allocation: 64kb
Maybe panasonic formatter can help you.

Hi, thx for replying. Yes I tried that too, but since I didn't have a card reader I had to use USB Mass Storage. And when I opened up the program it said this device is not supported.
So I had to use Windows formatter.
Not sure if you fixed it yet or not but I used backward to fix mine. On any generic Linux build cfdisk or fdisk it to partition it out to a fat32 lba partition . Will fix it right up.

Hi, thx for answering. Could you please elaborate more on how I should use Linux to partition? I've never used Linux before, but I have and know how to use Gparted Live.

Do NOT use MAGLDR 1.13 USB mass storage and dont listen to the person who told you to either.
1.13 has a very bad bug with mass storage driver and it corrupts sd/data. If you haven't got a card reader go back to 1.12 and use that mass storage or CWR mass storage as an alternative.
Once you have done this use Panasonic SD formatter on following settings...
FORMAT TYPE: FULL (ERASE ON)
SIZE ADJUSTMENT: ON

Thx very much will try and report back
I had this problem too, surprisingly with the same ROM. Are you using Clockwork Recovery? If so go into Clockwork Recovery -> Advanced -> Partition SD Card -> Pick some sizes. After doing this my SD card worked fine.

I flashed wp7 but now I want to go back to android but my SD card only has 199mb free instead of my original 16gb. I'm guessing due to the wp7 partition. How can I reverse that and get it back to the original 16gb. I've tried formatting it and everything.
Help please
You need to delete the individual partitions of your sd card and make it one big card again
maybe some software will help:
EASEUS Partition Master (Home Edition)
MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition
Paragon Partition Manager Free Edition
There was a similar thread somewhere...anyway, the only way you can format your sd card back is to put it in a symbian device. It recognises it as broken an formats it. I personally confirm this with Nokia E71. Nokia n97 mini is also confirmed by other people. Since Symbian hasn't changed much in the past year i guess almost all devices from 2008 till now can format your sd card. Now you just need to find one.
You can do it using diskpart in vitsa / 7 just as effectively
Where do I find that disc part at on windows 7?
Google Panasonic sd formatter
Install and in options 'format volume size adjustment 'to on.
You dont need to do all that.
Just falsh an Android ROM onto your phone.
Once you have android up and running, go to Settings>Storage>Erase SD card.
This will un-mount your sd card and format it. Once its complete, it will see all the storage.
Keep in mind it will wipe whatever you have in your SD card.

I just did that and it didn't work for me. I had a 2GB card and it only formatted to 200MB. The card needs to be repartioned in order to regain the space that WP7 takes.
What I did was just stick the card in a USB card reader and used HPUSBDisk.exe on it. Worked out great, but I also unchecked the quick format option (not sure if that matters).
I have the same problem also.. If i understand correctly, we didn't put the SD card once we first boot the window 7. do these partitions method work? Thanks ahead

Ah, C'mon, please search the forums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913815
grab the partition manager from there and repartition your sd card and you are back to bussines.
this will work
download Attach Files and this should work then right click on card and format again fat 32 quick plz give me thank this will work
Also, you can format your sd card from android itself. Go to settings, unmount your sd card and format it. Easiest way.
If you have a custom rom you can format the partitions from the recovery menu too
im really confused so i want to unmount it plug in the usb and use window formatter to reformat is?
OK so having decent knowledge of how filesystems work, while trying to partition my SD with Minitool like in one of these tutorials on here, to make a second partition on it that's EXT3, minitool died and now it barely recognises the SD.
So - say I load magloader to USB MassStorage and then I can see it in Minitool as Unallocated but when I try to create the partition it stops for a while and then finishes really fast telling me it finished and afterwards the whole disk disappears from Minitool and magloader's stuck.
I tried HP Format tool, it's saying "Disk is write-protected".
I tried Harddisk Low Level Format Tool... errors, nothing more.
Currently trying Minitool Power Data Recovery... so far it says "Files Identified: 38" so that might be promising but...
If anyone knows how to get their SD unstuck ------ another detail... I can only mess with the SD card through MAGLDR, my HD2 didn't come with a SD adapter..
Please help me out
Best regards,
John
basicaly your problem is cos u trying to do it from
magldr. that's bad idea. u really need card reader for that !!!

Yeah, it's basically what Rikardo said, MAGLDR can corrupt files and isn't the best way to mess around with your SD card. Try install CWM and do it that way, much more stable.
You should really invest in a card reader though.
Install wm6.5 on your hd2 and format it from the phone. I know I stuck a windows phone 7 sd in my hd2 and it totally formatted it and got rid of the partition and all.
lol found a microsd adapter laying around !!! it's working thank you
u can also use any digital camera with sd slot and u can format it in the camera.tested working

My HD2 killed 3 SD Cards, 2 of them -> SDHC

I just switched from a 2.2 version of android to a gingerbread version on my hd2. The problem I am having is that now my phone says SD card damaged. It worked on my old version and is Able to be read when I'm in magldr and use USB mass storage but not on this android. I tried to format in android that didn't work and tried formatting with windows. I don't understand why it can be read sometimes but not others but would appreciate it if someone could help me get this to work or atleast get it to reformat so can be used. Thanks
What exact ROM are you using? Were you running any partitions(EXT3/EXT4).
Gpc_hd2_gingerbread_v1.7
No partitions
what did you use to try and format it in windows? search in the forum for the panasonic sd formatter or google it if you haven't tried using it already.
I have not tried the Panasonic SD formatter I will give it a try at work since my computer is down for the time being. What is the difference between that program and the windows formatting program though?
In simple terms, one does it better than the other.

You also have to consider d possibility dat ur sd card is losing it gradually...My previous 8GB sd card works flawlessly on WinMo but whenever i flash an android build (tried several, same result), it works 4 awhile then mounts as read only or as ur described, sd damaged...a quick 4mat wit panasonic sd formatter wakes it back only for it 2 repeat d process....
I bought another sd card and haven't had any issues wit it watsoever...my old 8gb card still works but i guess its 2 weak for android's constant reading & writing.
Im having the same problem. Card works fine in everything but Android on HD2, NAND not SD Rom.
Ive formatted form Windows but i'll try the Panasonic one as well. If not would a 16GB card be compatible or would it be too big?
The size isn't a problem as long as your phone supports it. Just make sure you format the correct ext size partitions etc...
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
Is there a guide/thread explaining how I go about creating ext size partitions on SD cards & what size etc?
I run off a NAND ROM if that makes any difference?
Sorry i'm new to Android!
I tried the Panasonic formatter but it still says damaged SD. Still works in mass storage mdgrl or whatever it is. And asks to be formatted when I try to use it in XP

You should avoid using mass storage in MAGLDR.

Perhaps try putting into a USB card reader or SD card adapter, then try seeing if the computer recognizes it.

Yeah get yourself a SD card adaptor to put your SD card in and then put it in the SD card slot on your computer, or if you do not have one get a USB SD card reader to put the adaptor in. They will run you something like 8 to 10th dollars USD for both to get them.
Also your card is like this bot because you erased the MBR on your SD card. It is because on the first boot of WP7 it formats your memory card with a RAID format so it can use your SD card as internal memory. You have to do a low level format of the card to remove it. Once the low level format is done you will have to do a full format of it again with Fat32
This is for others that well read this, if you flash a WP7 ROM and it boots up but you so not like it or it does not work right. Do not, I repeat do not try flashing the ROM again or try flashing another WP7 ROM before doin the low level format and then a Fat32 format on your SD card. If you do you will probably end up with a trashed SD card.
Thanks i will try that..
No, i cant do nothing... i try with a external sdcard reader over usb and the sdformater just stops working when i start or do a refresh. i try with others sd cards and the new sdcard reader works good...
Any more ideas?
