[Q][SOLVED] Sd card problem - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

Hi all,
I have a problem with my sd card. It's not recognized by my HD2 WP7!
So I searched on xda forum and other forum, and I saw that I need to reformat my card with specific tools and specific options... OK for that.
My question is: Do I need to flash my phone again with the new SD card or is it possible to get it recognized by the phone without a new flash?
Thanks for your help
Regards

Did you have it in your phone the first time you turned on wp7? It needs to be in the phone when it first turns on and you go through the phone setup. WP7 uses it as internal memory, so you can't remove it while running wp7, either. You can go to settings and go to about (I think that's what it is), then reset your phone. It will ask for confirmation twice, then will do a factory reset... make sure the card is in when you do this.

Yes. But the first card didn't worked, the wifi was always disconnected... so I changed and the wifi worked correctly but the storage space of WP7 doesn't use my sd card space... So I bought a new one, formatted it correctly and tried to use it in my phone and the result is the same.
If I reset the phone, will I have to reinstall chevronwp7?
Thanks for your help!!!

Why would he have to reflash? resetting does the same thing... I've always been able to restart everything by resetting.
And yes, to op, I think you have to chevron unlock it again after resetting, because a reset sets everything back like you just flashed again. When you tried a different card, did you hard reset it?

aye, reflashing isnt needed unles your original Flash was corrupted somehow or your upgrading the ROM, just do a hard reset, hold VOl down and VOL up when powered off and tap the power button, follow instructions.

Hi all,
Yes I tried a hard reset but nothing changed, my phone was still configured as if I had'nt hard reset it...
I'll giv it another try today!
Thanks everybody for your help!

How did you hard reset it? I always just went to settings, then to "about" I think it was... where ever it is that shows you how much memory is on your phone. Then hit reset there. It will tell you that all data will be erased and will ask you to confirm twice. Did you do it that way? Make sure the card is in when you reset. It might be a good idea to format card in computer first too.

Phone keeps hard resetting itself

I have a very annoying problem with my HD....after a few days of using a ROM, the phone suddenly decides to hard reset itself. Often it is when it is booting up, it will just about finish and then reset, and then go through the setup routine again like it has just been flashed.
Even worse, is that when it does this it formats my SD card, sometimes so it is not even partitioned any more I have to format it again, and obviously everything is gone. Even tried running some data recovery software but it can't recover my stuff.
This is seriously annoying me, anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Does this mean that you've recently flashed a custom ROM? If so, it sounds like you need to try a different one and, if it keeps happening, flash the original ROM back on it and get it replaced as faulty.
Sounds a pain in the arse (not literally)!
Yes it has a custom ROM, but this happened once when it still had a stock ROM on, and has happened using several different custom ROMs.
I guess the phone may be faulty, I can't understand why it formats the card when it does it, not good!

Yeah - I wouldn't even put a card in that phone again. Afraid it does sound like a warranty replacement, assuing you've got a warranty.
Good luck mate!

Okay, I screwed up

I'm not entirely sure what I did, but I think I just bricked this thing. Is there any way to restore the apps that I deleted off my Hero? I basically can't do anything with it. I can make phone calls but that's about it. I get a force close message that says "com.htc.RosieUtiltiy has stopped unexpectedly" and won't do anything than show me a phone pad after that.

Lmao no man u didn't brick. Only one way to do that and that's to flash a GSM radio. Just dl and flash a different rom. Make sure u wipe data and dalvik before flashing a new rom.

The problem I'm having is that I can't access anything through the PC either. Basically, I'm in over my head without a snorkel. I have the nandroid backup I made when I rooted the phone but don't know how to restore it.
Edited to add: When I say I have the backup, I mean it's on my PC but I don't know how to get it from there to the phone or even get past the dial pad.

Go into recovery mode and there is an option to connect to PC from there. I think its the second option. There u can transfer things to ur ad card. Once u get what u want to flash on ur SD card go to wipe and wipe the first two options and then either go to flash from SD or backup/restore nandroid. This is all from recovery. (Where u hit power and home button at same time when phone is off
At this point, you should turn your attention to a microsd adapter/card reader. Take your microsd card out of the phone (make sure it's safe to remove), put it in the card reader, and plug the card reader into your pc (if your pc has a slot for it). Transfer your backup from the pc to the cardreader. When finished, take the sdcard and put it back into the phone, and voila, you should now have your backup from the pc on your phone.

All I'm seeing when I go into the recovery mode is an option to clear storage. When I do that, it pulls up an option to reset phone which reboots the phone to the same problem I'm having. Am I doing something completely wrong?

The backup is on the card already. The problem is not being able to access anything from the phone aside from the dialer.
Just wanted to say thanks again Papa. Your help is greatly appreciated.

You could remove the card before doing the reset. I did a reset to mine last night. I had a 6 set temp root which I think would break the 1 click-tempt root when I tried to run the app. The reset fixed that up real nice. Now I have the 1-click tempt root running, my wifi tether started working again after it stopped working with the 6 step tempt root.
I also swapped out my 8gig card for the HD2's 16gig class 2 card and it working very good. I couldn't be happier. I used app control to backup my apps (sucks to reinstall cuz you gotta do it one by one.) Now I have titanium backup, I hope it works should I ever need to use it.

[Q] how to delete your info nand hd2?

so i got mjd cyangamod 7 nand on my hd2 and i recently sold it because it was my second phone...ive been trying to delete my info and seem to got everything off i go into privacy and reset everything but in accounts/sync my email is still there and when i try to remove it it says to factory reset well ive done that a few times and its still showing up?
any help
Go in to MAGLDR, and select the option 'AD HardReset'. That should do the job.
You mean you want to completely remove android, or do you mean you want to remove all your data that was on android (emails, apps, messages, contacts, etc)? If it is the latter, then simply reflash the build. Hard reset in the settings won't solve your problem, as you've noticed. Or you could go into the email app, go to the settings and delete the accounts.
yeah i just want to remove all my data...would the hardreset work?
yes the MAGLDR AD hardreset will work. It will erase the phone's data, leaving only HSPL and MAGLDR. meaning it will remove android also
Yeah, if you go in to MAGLDR and do it. It doesn't work in Android, because it's not the HD2's native OS. There wouldn't be that feature of MAGLDR for no reason.
If that DOESN'T work, then most certainly re-flashing the ROM will work. But there's really no need.
but i would have to reflash anyway correct?, since it only leaves mag, and hspl
No. It just resets the NAND ROM. Doesn't over-write it or anything.
oh I assumed it would erase everything, oh okie, thanks for the info, and sorry about the misleading info.
hey thanks, i got into magdlr and did the reset then just booted into nand and it loaded back up new
how do i give you a thanks point?
No problem. Cotulla/DFT just wouldn't put that feature there for no reason.
But you're forgive, after all, you're Jamaican MON. hahaha. ;p

Did I broke my SD slot?

I've decided to instal custom ROM. After some time i has cant acces my sd card data, but it was shown in setting. When i tried to enter options, the settings app crashed. I did reboot, of course, and it disappeared. Now I cant use any sd card on my phone. Did a hard reset, but it is not detected even on TWRP! Any ideas, guys?

If TWRP can't see it, I am afraid it's broken but Try to remove it and replace several times, nothing to loose now
The SD slot is very fragile on x play, I am always very careful whit it

Dont know but to be sure that you need repair : try an other sdcard on your phone, or try your sdcard on other phone, may be it's only your card
I've tried this card on other phone (moto g3) and works fine...
Same issue with me too..
Tried lineage 13.1,14.1 and spectrum too. Still it's not detecting SD card. It seems it happened after the latest security patch update. I also tried stock 5.1 yet card is not recognised.
