all of a sudden my phone is asking me to format my memory card, and the mc is not showing up on file explorer.
i didnt want to format it but in the end i had to . but still it says format memory card. and i still cant get into it .
can someone pls help on this as i have done everything i can think of
thanks in advance
have you been playing with the ramdisk tweaks? If yo dont set 'autoformat' it asks every boot.
If the memory card is not showing up and even does not after a format, your card could be bad ....
its time to change your card. your hd2 has corrupted your card. but don't worry you are not the only one having this problem. there are tons of users out there who got this prob.

firstly, i have nothing but trouble with adapters that the switch slides to write protect when you enter it in the reader slot. I ended up taking them all off, so double and tripple check that.
Secondly, if you go to control panel/administrative tools/computer management (or words to that effect, depending on windows version)
look for disk management, and find your sd card there. See what it says, it could be that you can format it from there, or rebuild teh partition.
(Better still if you have a partition manager program handy, see if you can force it to rebuild the partition on teh card.)
However in all likelihood, its a duff card. It seems to be an emerging theme with the leo, cards going bad.

You said something about memory card being BAD. What does it mean. When trying to make a partition, I saw something saying "bad disk" talking about my 32 gig MC.
I cannot reformat my MC and when tried, it says "windows unsuccessfully formatted the device". Any ideas on how to reformat my sd card friends?
I stopped using windows to format my sdcard as it does a mediocre job at best. All I use now is sdformatter. It does a much better job. I even had a card my hd2 said was bad and it revived it. Give it a try. I also use mini tool partition wizard for any and all partitioning required.

I always get that error.. it still accesses sd card though.
Are you pressing the camera button firmly enough to select?....
You could always fastboot it to 2.2 (some other thread has the files needed).

Mobile is working but problem is Can't aceess SD card through recovery nor with Android
I would try flashing back to 1.6 and see if you can access sd card then, have you tried a different card? If you kbow someone else with an android phone pop your sd card in theirs and see if it works... you could also copy important files and try formatting it? Let us know how you get on?

Already tried too many diffrent sized sd cards // nothing works
And how i'm suppose to flash it back to 1.6 since i can't access sd card nor have 1.6 nandroid backup
So after I flashed WP7, everything works fine. But whenever I turn off the phone (long press end call key) and open it again the next day. All my settings are gone (i.e. Hard reset without me doing anything). Also same thing happens when I change my regional settings and click that link to reboot my phone. Why is this? Hope someone can helpme out.
EDIT:
EVERYTHING IS WORKING. Data is saved after reboots.
Steps:
1. Flash WP7 like usual WITH SD card inserted
2. Wait for WP7 to load up.
3. Physically REMOVE SD card from phone.
4. Restart phone
5. When phone is booting up (white HTC screen). Put back in the SD card
6. You should then see the WP7 setup screen.
I hope this helps out other people who had similar problems with stock hd2 2GB SD card.

sorry for the stupid q, but do you have an sd-card inserted into your phone? cause it seems like you don't. wp7 uses sd card for some off system files.

yup, SD card is in. Pretty sure it's compatible (According to this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912904 it's). I've got the stock HD2 SanDisk microSD_2 GB.
i have exactly same problems did you ever figure it out?

i bet its not compatible, this sounds like the shipped 2gb card and i had the same problems like many others with the shipped sd card
-> have you got the first start steps?
i think no
remove your sd card, go to settings, info and reset your phone
after this everything will work (until your storage is gone)

Yeah i've heard about the stock sd card being a pain, going to try your suggestion.
Everything is working. I've listed what I've done in my original first post.
hi all,
I followed the instruction from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957123 to the letter but the app2Sd still doesn't work.
Tried it numerous times now and also with older versions of Kyrillos but my Internal memory isn't increasing.
The SD card seems to be taken of about the same memmory that I ask to convert to appdata and swap memory, but the internal memmory isn't stated to be increased.
Anyone know what I might be doing wrong ,or is there a better manual for this application?
after installing rom ROOT THE PHONE!!!
app2sd will not work without root
apply app2sd partition &u'll get superuser permission request, select allow
(the phone will reboot and sd card will show unsupported format)
then download android terminal emulator from market(free!!)
open the emulator and u'll get a blue screen
type --(commands)
-------------
su(enter)
mkfs.vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1(enter)
(wait for # to come onto the next line)
reboot(enter)

the applications are included in the software of Kyrillos and phone is pre rooted and working.
I did all steps that you stated, as also described in the original post of Kyrillos.
again, after doing all those steps I do see more then a gig less on my SD card, but I don't see the Internal memory increasin. It just keeps at 105MB
I have the same problem, can someone help or explain how we get this working?

OK now with in titanium go to bath look for "move all app to internal mem" and you're done ENJOY
then why does my internal memmory still gets full? Do I need to move the applications with another tool to the app2SD partition?

where did you saw that internal memory gets full in titanium or in settings???
btw, it is correct the internal storage in settings stays the same as it was before a2sd?

yes that's the point after i while you will in settings that memory is decreasing but that's the data of app you will use
ok cool, I ran the batch you told and now my internal memory stays clean, thanks!
you can't see it in the phone settings.. but for a test see how much internal memory you have that your phone tells you, then install a large app like angry birds or something, and it should only go down by 1-2mb
2 questions, please:

1) I've read other's who have had a similar problem. Search the forums. I believe it has something with residuals from previous ROMs. Try task29 before flashing.
2) Seriously asking this???? You use Zune to put content on to your phone! WP7 works through Zune. Have you not read any of the "how-to install WP7" write-ups and the requirements for syncing with your PC?
It isn't any different from what you did with WM6.5, just a different interface.
Ignore him, i dont know why his ranting on about zune and WM6.5
But he is right in that this is covered on here already

I didn't look at the links, but it basically has to do with how WP7 formats your SD card. It can be reformatted in a way that reflects the size of the card. I can provide you with more help if you'd like.

hi, dazza.. i took your advice and i got my sd card reformatted to 16GB. but, now my hd2 with wp7 gives me an error that says :
storage card not working.
your storge card has changes, is damaged, or is non-compliant.
to fix this, turn off your phone and either remove the storage card or replace it with a new compliant card. then youll need to reset your phone to the original factory settings."
so what how can i fix this?

ah yes, sorry bit of an assumption made there! you will need to hard reset and install again, or reflash, its up to you, on the positive side, with only 200mb storage you'll not have lost much. your activation code if you have one should still work

you need to reflash the rom as wp7 foramts and partitions the card during setup, if you change the sd card then wp7 loses its settings and you need to reinstall

The Hd7 will become king of the hill once they crack it wide open, theres little difference between the two of them but the HD7 with its more vibrant screen does look a bit better. I still long for the day someone can get WM booting of an SD card, via magldr that is. however in saying all of that, dispite the HD2s drawbacks i still think it has the edge at the moment, purely because there is little that wont work with it, but least you gave it a shot. Good luck with the HD7

i guess thats one of the issues that has to be dealt with then using an os not designated for the device, there will always be quirks and issues
well if you would have read what your doing when installing windows phone 7 you would have known that this happens.
windows phone 7 doesn't support sd cards, thats why the card is formatted when installing it and you have only 200mb left. the rest of the card is in wp7s discformat and you can use it as your internal storage.
so when you farmatted your sd card to get back your 16gb as fat partition you deleted system files of wp7 that were on the card. that's why this error occured.
if you would read the instructions in the rom threads and the stickies you would have known all this. everything is clear and easy when you inform yourself before starting with something and there are a lot of threads explaining everything in detail.
