I have been using NAND Android for a couple of months now without any issues, but the other other day my phone totally froze as I was starting Angry Birds. I had to remove the battery and put it back in. It booted up again, but right when the phone asked for my SIM pin-code it "restarted". Meaning, it freezes for a bit, before the white "quietly brilliant" animation shows up again. And this went on forever. It just show that animation over and over. So I removed the battery and booted the phone back up, same issue.
Then I tried removing the SD-card and voilà, the phone works again. No problems.
So I put the SD-card back in after the phone was properly booted and I had entered the PIN number etc, but it froze as the "preparing your SD card" message appeared.
Did the phone corrupt my SD card?
I don't have a card reader for a micro SD-card, so I haven't been able to check if it works outside of my phone..
I can't really remember which ROM I used, but it's a clean stock build.
here is some information from my phone:
Android "model number": HTC Desire A8181
Radio version: 2.15.50.14
Kernel: 2.6.32.15-prjv4
Build nr: 2.29.405.5 CL293415
Software nr: 2.29.405.5
SD-card: Sandisc 8GB HC
Yes it's close to be sure (what's why I only use NAND).
Anyway, just try to format your SD, of course not from android but MAGLDR or CWM. Don't remember which of the two can do this as I always use the reader of my laptop.
If this doesn't work delete/recreate your partition (one of the two can play with SD partitions).
You can also use the USB from MAGLDR (I know it corrupt data... bla bla bla) as you have no reader.
Just wanted to update this thread in case anyone else experience something similar.
I found out that my SD-card was corrupt. Buying a new one was the only option and everything works fine again.
In case of software fail, you can only corrupt data on SD, but not hardware of SD-card. May be there is not Android problem, but problem of SD card yourself on hardware level. I lose all data at my SD-card after sortware errors, but I always can format SD card once more for restore partition.

Okay...so I played around with Energy's Droid ROM (the latest one), backed up my microSD card and went to play. Came back to winmo and now I can't seem to boot up the phone from a soft reset if the memory card is inserted. Right after the flashy 'X' formation (running 28th Energy Cookie Dinik Glass Theme), the phone's screen just goes blank!
So...I remove the card, and restart the phone, and the phone boots up just fine. I tried this with a blank 1gig microSD and it still does the same thing---what is the phone looking for in the memory card that would halt the startup?
I have task 29'd the phone, reformatted the memory on the card, and still the same issue.
Any ideas?
Did you install a boot loader or something to run Android off the
SD card at windows start-up? Does that Droid ROM come with one built in? Put the android on the SD and see if it boots to it.
Tried it, still does the same thing, freezes after 'X' animation, but starts up fine w/o memory card...
android, on the other hand, works just fine...
*sigh*
And, sorry, it's not a Droid ROM, it's

update: no, never mind, it does it with Android at startup as well.
found out what may have been the issue (though yet to be thoroughly tested). The reflashed Energy ROM, was updating itself using the xda_uc restore. This is what was for some reason messing up everything--gotta start fresh, I guess..
I had the same issue with Artemis v14. It ran fine initially but the problem appeared after a while. I flashed to a newer version and formetted the SD card to get rid of the problem.
I doubt it had much to do with running Android.
I have to take my SD card out for windows to boot up, is there a way to fix this its such a PITA to restart my phone
Do you use an auto loader like EBL?
yes, i think you might be using an autoboot for android like EBL with booting time like 3 seconds
no i start just like normal, my screen stops at the pink and white stick together and stays that way unitl i remove the SD card, then the radio version come on at the bottom and it boots like normal but if i dont remove the SD card it will just stay at teh stick together sreeen
You may get this issue if the sd card is corrupt. Try checking it for errors using a card reader on your pc.
Also I had issues with winmo when my card was almost full. I deleted one of my android builds and winmo loaded and ran fine.
Or it could possibly the files on your card not readable by windows. I always wondered about those files that started with .files (starting with a period)
NOTE: i posted this in the development thread by mistake, reposting here. sorry
hey everyone
i tried searching the threads but i cant find anyone with my exact problem (or something similar at least).
anyways ive been running dutty's winmo rom, i have a proper .50 radio running, and i have been able to successfully boot into darkstones superram v1.5 for the past few weeks just fine.
one night i forgot to charge the battery so it drained out, in the morning i had to work and i needed a number which was on the android OS of the phone, so i immediately turned on the phone after starting to charge it and booted into android, the phone didnt have enough power though and shut off while it was checking the SD card for errors.
after this point, i started up the phone again after 2 minutes to give it some time to charge, and it was able to get into android, however on hte way to work i tried listening to music and/or getting pictures from my SD card (using astro to search the SD card) but when i clicked on a file everything force closed, the music player froze up everytime i tried to get music going, and things like the sound options in the android settings menu would force close as well.
i figured somethnig messed up on the SD card so i backed up some stuff and formatted the SD card, and reinstalled a fresh version of darkstones superram (new data.img and everything).
when i tried launching android it went to the green HTC screen for a few seconds, then the screen goes black and the phone restarts into winmo.
this kept happening so i figured maybe something went wrong with the windows mobile rom, so i installed an energy rom just now and hte same thing is still happening.
what im going to do today is try it on a different SD card to see if thats the problem, and try another SD android ROM to make sure.
but if anyone can save me some time and knows whats happening here please let me know!
any help is appriciated! thanks!

I am assuming you are using the above.
It sounds like your SD card was "damaged", try refreshing it this way.
Assuming you are using Windows PC.
Download SD Card Formatter 3 and install.
Insert SD card into card reader
Start up SD Card Formatter 3, it should detect your SD Card.
Click on OPTIONS button
Format = FULL (ERASE ON)
Format Size Readjustment = ON
Click OKAY then START
When done, put only important stuff back, like music, documents, videos, etc..
Then start Darkstone Froyo from scratch, in case those files were damaged before the backup.
Flashed some day´s ago WP7 but I reverted to WINMO again... and when I try to put an Android Built on it won´t boot...
I get a cmd lines, kernel something and it get the HTC screen and it get stuck in it... Tryied lot´s of diferent sd builds but the result is the same.
I already formated my sd, tried in other WINMO rom´s and other sd and the result is the same!
I have HSPL 1.66
I have the last radio
I have the same as always and previously the the Android worked fine...
Strange!!!
HELP
Please
You said you formatted your SD card, but did you repartition it? When WP7 is installed it consumes all but 200 MB of your SD card so if you try to reformat it, you will only have 200 MB free unless you repartition it.
Did you say you tried other SD cards? Also, are you running Android from the SD card via Haret from Windows Mobile? Or, are you running a NAND Android ROM?

1- Sure i repartitioned it at full size... wipe de partition, and format a new primary partition in fat32.
2- Android SD via Haret.
Thanks
Do you have Android SDK installed, so that you can run logcat and see what's happening?

Nope, don´t know how
Dont think it´s a problem with the Android SD builds, I tryed some diferent and the problem keeps there...
The problem must be with WP7, but now all is the same as before but Android don´t boot and I need Android but don´t want to but NAND on it right away because I like WINMO still...
Please help, I´m not the only one with this problem...
I get a cmd, black screen and some text, the last is...
"jumping to kernel (custom)"
And them it crashes on the green HTC BOOT SCREEN.

Try Task 29 via bootloader, flash stock HTC ROM, Reformat SD card on PC and then again on WinMo. Transfer files while in WinMo on SD card or via SDcard adapter, and try booting Android again.
Did you by any chance transfer files on SD card while in Magldr if so the files may be corrupted (known issue) which may explain the problem with kernel not booting up.
Hope this helps.
Sorry for hijacking but nobody will reply in my thread and I'm becoming impatient lol. Can anybody help me?
Hey guys. I'm currently running this ROM, I've been using it for a few days and have had no problems but today, when I turned the phone off and turned it back on, it took ages to turn back on. Then when it did it all looked them same but was kept freezing etc., then up in the notification bar it said "SD Card Removed Unexpectedly" then my phone went crazy with FC's.
So I took out the battery and restarted the phone. Then, it would turn on and go to the lock screen but then it would reboot and be at a continuius* boot loop of the HTC 'Quietly Brilliant' screen.
So then I took out the battery again, this time I took out the SD card too and booted up and my phone was normal again. Obviously with no phone storage though as there was SD card in. Then after I just skipped the setup I put my SD card back in to my phone and went to the music player and all my saved songs on my SD card played. But no internal storage (I have the SD card partitioned with a 1GB Ext3 partition). Then with the SD card in knowing it still works I rebooted again, only to come back to the HTC screen again.
So basically, how can I fix this?
If I'm going to need to format my SD card is there a way I can backup what's in the Ext3 partition?
Thanks,
L.

lrbpereira - I'm the guy that posted having the same results as you in your other thread (this one seems to be getting all the action, though). Just curious, which ROM are you trying? I've been trying Warrenbread's, but I'm thinking about trying another just to give it a shot.

Hi, i´m on Dutty´s 14 PTG. I tryed Energy and the result was the same...
I think it´s someting that WP7 installed on the phone memory... Don´t know why task29 don´t resolve it... But I can´t put the Android SD working...
And it´s seams that this is a problem that isn´t only mine... you - koz - have it too...

Sorry, I should have been a bit more clear - I was curious what Android ROM you were trying to run from SD. Have you found a solution to this yet? Did you try flashing back to a stock ROM, then HSPL & then try an android rom from SD? I'm considering giving this a shot, but I haven't had the time lately.
EDIT: I resolved my issue by reformatting the SD again (I've done it multiple times & multiple ways). This way worked for me. First, back up everything you want to keep from your SD card onto your PC. Download this & install on your PC: http://download.cnet.com/Partition-...62200.html?part=dl-6285158&subj=dl&tag=button . With SD card in the phone, connect to the PC in USB mass storage mode. Start Partion Wizard and format the card to FAT32 at 32kb and as a primary drive. After that, drag-n-drop your flavor of Android onto your SD and boot it up. Hope it works for you.
EDIT 2: After getting android running, I reinstalled all my files/folders back onto the SD card, however, this broke android again (I couldn't get it to boot from SD). So I tried turning it into airplane mode while running windows mobile - and it worked. I can now boot to android from SD as long as I first turn on airplane mode. So, I don't know if the above reformatting was part of it. If someone gives this a try, it might be good to turn on airplane mode and try to boot before attempting the above formatting info. Please post results if you try it and I'll try to edit the above.
I have swapped to this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912740
and suddenly it's reporting that my SD card is damaged. I have been using this card for a long time through multiple ROMs without any issues. Looking at the thread, I'm not finding anyone with my problem so far, so it could be something more general.
I did a clean install (wiped all user data and everything). Reformatted the card - no luck. Tried another SD card (an old 1GB micro SD) - still keeps saying "SD Card is Damaged". When I say "OK" and tell the ROM to format it, nothing happens--I get the SD Damaged message back.
Not sure if my ROM installed poorly or I'm having some odd compatibility issues.
Tried formatting from Clockwork mod too - formats successfully, but upon entering the ROM, I get the "Damaged SD" error.

Are you installing to nand or native SD?

The ROM is installed to NAND with the ODEX thing included (built into the ROM installer options). Just did another factory reset / data clear / reformat / ROM reinstall - still showing that SD card is damaged =/ I guess it's something in the ROM, as it's never been an issue before.
Edit: Solved.. I formatted the SD card in my friend's phone, which has a different version of a CM ROM. Works fine in mine now... odd...
Another SD "broke"
Ok, so now we installed an Android ROM onto the other phone (Paranoid Android for HD2 this time - NAND installation), and the Damaged SD card message is popping up again - with another SD card... that was also working perfectly fine through multiple other ROMs before (is this something JB ROMs seem to break?.. Hard to believe it's a coincidence).
So now I can't fix this second SD card. Tried formatting on my computer - no luck. Formatted in Clockwork recovery - no luck. Trying to format it inside the ROM gives a message that the system is analyzing the card to format it, then nothing happens, and the "Damaged SD" message pops up again... so basically it's not getting formatted. This is on both phones now. I was able to fix the first SD card on an older version of an ICS Android ROM, but as that ROM is no longer installed (bugged out completely, hence trying new ROMs now), both of our phones can't format my card.
Any other way to do this? I really don't understand why the card gets messed up for these JB ROMs, and don't know how to fix it at this point.
For completeness, I did run chkdisk on the card, and it's operating fine, no errors. It works just fine connected as USB storage through MAGLDR, I can install ROMs from it and everything. It just appears corrupted as soon as I enter my Android ROMs.
Use Windows on pc and do slow full format
