damaged sd

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...

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

I have the same ROM & just keeps saying SD card damaged. I've formatted in windows & in the clockwork recovery tool but to no avail. I dont want to buy a new card just to have the same problem!

You should avoid using mass storage in MAGLDR.

Hey, I got it working, I followed this guide & it worked 1st time.

Why my HD2 android won't start with my SD card?

My HTC HD2 works with my Transcend 4 GB microSD card, but it won't android won't boot up with my 8 GB Verbatim microSD card. Do I need to format it or something? Thanks!

Are you sure you have the correct set up ? (Files are copied to their destinations)
Try to format it to FAT32, and try again.

I`have just formated it to FAT32 and still the same problem. What files are you talking about?
PS: Sorry to bother you with "stupid" questions, I am pretty noob in this

I have read that Verbatim SDCards can cause problems in the build; booting or running, SanDisk is your best bet, but you may still be able to get it running,
Im not a dev; just brought SanDisk as a result of this,

It depends on many factors. Which Android Rom do you want flash, does this need Ext 3/4 Partition on the SD Card ? Do you have flashed the right partition size ? Read the installation instructions of Rom you wants to flash, there you mostly find all information.

Are you talking about NAND or SD? If NAND, make sure the ext partition is set up correctly, as this is where a lot of the apps are stored. If SD, then I would assume you know how to install an SD build so it could be a problem with the SD card being incompatible as alex.odell.2011 said.

I've had similar problems sometimes with my SD card; my HD2 wouldn't boot unless I took the card out then put it back in once it was booted. The only thing that I thought might cause it is something CWR related on the SD card, since I had used it in my Hero and Droid 1 as well to flash ROMs to them. It was a class 4 16 GB Sandisk, if that helps at all.

I have a problem with SD Android installing?

Hi;
I use WP7 on my HTC HD2.
Also I use SD Android and i start android from magldr.
When i want to install SD android on my "HP 16 GB Class 10 micro SD card" , i have installing problem.
While installing it freezes. I can't finish installing.
I don't see main screen.
But when i install same android rom on 2 GB micro SD card , there isn't any installing problem.
It runs perfectly.
Why does this problem occur on 16 GB Class 10 HP micro SD card?
Thanks a lot...

first of all this should be in the Q&A section.
is your SD card formatted to run dual boot? was the 2nd partition for Android set to Primary? also you don't install SD ROM, you just copy it to your SD & set magldr to run AD from SD

If you are dual booting you should have two partions.The android partions should be fat32 32kb cluster size and both partions should be set to primary.

No SD Storrage aviable with Android SD Build

Hey Folks,
I'm using my HD2 in Dual Boot with WP7 and Android on extra SD Partition. I've installed WP7 on NAND Memory and all the data like Apps, Music and Pics are stored in a 10GB Partition on my SD Card. I created a second partition with the 6GB wich are left from my 16GB SD Card. There i placed some different Android SD Build Roms. They are all running fine on my HD2 and i can boot without any problems into Android SD.
My only problem is that my Android SD Build doesnt recognize any SD Storrage Card. I cant put any Pics or Music on my Android or even download something with Android. Is there a way to get the Android Partition on my SD Card as SD Storrage?
Would be prety cool to have a solution for this problem.
Thanks and Greets

Did you happen to not safely remove the sd card from USB storage? Also have you tried using a sd card formatter there are plenty free to download and may fix sd cards not recognized by windows. I have had this happen but only when I flashed wp7 and messed up my sd

You can also use a partition program to recovery borked SD cards.
