hd2 tmous stock on stick togeter screen, tried tri-color usb to flash hardSPL 4, but ended with critical error usb connection failed. Tried sd card flash official rom but got stock on the progress bar at about 5%. any one have more suggestions of any other methods i can try to fix it? thanks
The SD Card method possibly failed due to too big an SD Card - make sure that it is less than 8GB.

i am using 8gb micro sd, alone with android files from another phone
See if you can either borrow or buy a 1 or 2GB microSD Card. Format it to FAT32 and copy LEOIMG.nbh (that you already had) onto it.

I have a plain "vanilla" version of cupcake and i would like to get rosie, but i have to root my G1. The only problem is when i try to format my SD card, it automatically dismounts, or ejects it from my computer, then i mount it and try it again... and the process continues, so i came here. Anyone had this problem and/or know how to fix it?
yeah thats happening to mine right now too
but my sd card is mucked up i think
Do you have a sdcard reader and an adapter for your micro sd
if so you can plug it in and do the same process plus its more safer to do it that way
no, sadly, I do not have an SD card reader. But I am about to buy an 8GB SDHC card with a reader, so I should be able to root soon .
I know this is an old thread but I'm trying to go through the formatting process and am getting the same issue; the card automatically dismounts when I right click and select Format. I'm trying to downgrade and I found the DREAIMG.nbh file to use but when I try to run it without formatting, it's unsuccessful. Any ideas of what I could try?
Hello,
My Problem is that i can´t flash a costum Rom from SD Card.
Some Details:
- SD Card: Adata 16 GB Class 6 => Formated in Fat32
- I tested it with some custom roms and renamed all files to leoimg.nbh and put it in the root of the SD card
- I installed HSLP with no errors
- Original SD card a gave away to a friend
- The only way to flash the roms is Active Sync
I hope someone know how to solve the Problem
nobody has the same problem?
I have same kind of problem with 8GB Class 4 SD card. With original 2GB everyting runs fine. I formated 8GB SD in HD2 and same problem. HSPL just boots up but stays in 4-colored view. Seems like HSPL can't use bigger SD cards or what i'm doing wrong?
it isn't hspl it is the phone that doesn't handle large cards very well.
do you need to flash with sd card? much safer too use active sync to flash.less likely to accidentally mess up your spl
Thank you! I will follow this information in future!
But is there also known problems using larger SD for normal device usage like applications, data, images etc?
there have been some reports of problems with large cards but I think in most cases it is due to slow/fake cards.
the large cards should have no problem in general use only for flashing.
For some reason, I've put clockworkmod on my device and always use it to flash.
I have a 16gb Sandisk memory card, which at first worked fine with it.
All of a sudden, a Gingerbread ROM claimed the card to be corrupt?! So, I used Gingerbread to format.
Tried to do an update, and now the card isn't recognised by the A2SD setting of MAGDLR 1.1. I have to use a 4gb to flash now.
I tried formatting the 16gb card in windows (fat 32, 32k sizes), reapply the cwkmd files to the card, but still, MAGDLR won't load it.
Any ideas :-/

Did you do a quick format or a full format? If Quick, plz do a full, and try again.
Also, don't use the right-click format method. Go into disk management and do it there. Not promising anything - it's just better.
I found a bug in MAGLDR in my case. It would try and load CWM by K:\Recov\zImage then would write S and boot back to MAGLDR main menu. So here's what I did:
- Boot MAGLDR
- Click Load AD SD (Fails)
- Remove SD card while booted
- Click Load AD SD (fails again obviously)
- Put SD back in
- Click Load AD SD (Works)
Try that. Seems like an MAGLDR bug to be honest, because after setting the SD path, you can't edit it again... Even after flashing MAGLDR back to the phone (I've tried). I guess flashing stock WinMo then flashing back MAGLDR could fix the issue, but I haven't bothered.
I seldom have problems with MicroSD Cards, then again, I usually tend to buy Class 2 MicroSD cards that perform higher than Class 2 in terms of sequential writes. So, my MicroSD card writes at 7.x MB/s although it is a Class 2.
Anyways, try using a WIPE application, something that ZEROES out the whole card. Like the SD Formatter 3.0 (Beta) for SD/SDHC/SDXC. For me, I prefer to use [email protected] Disk.
Once the card is ZEROED out, just use your GParted to Partition it, if you need to. If not, just do a full format in Windows.
Ultimate Boot CD is an ISO which has a USB Script. So you just extract the ISO, then run the CD2USB script to make a bootable USB Flash Drive with a lot of useful tools.

I had the same issue - 8GB MicroSD. Tried manual formatting, re-setting the card TNA. [email protected] Disk did not work either, but SD Formatter 3.0 worked perfectly!
Thanks a lot for this tip!
There are a few steps you can try to get your card working again.
1 - Full format, I know it has been mentioned but it is surprising how much a full format can help
2 - Try a non Microsoft tool like 'Panasonic SD Formatter', google it. I wipes out any partitions as well.
3 - 'Partition Wizard' for Windows. This is a great alternative to Gparted but for Windows and free.
4 - If all these fail, then it dont hurt to try Gparted, I dont see it will help but you never know.
All of those failing and it is a new card, get a refund.
I recently bought a 16GB from Ebay and they sent refund without even asking for the card back so I know you can get some dodgy Micro SD Cards.
Good luck
Yep - the Panasonic SD formatter fixed it using a Full 0's write! Many thanks to all.
update your magldr to 1.12 and try it it worked for me using 16gb class 2
YOU MIGHT want to RESET your device in NAND
that could also help when troubles arrive

I had a problem getting CWM to load also. It finally worked once I deleted the volume name and reformatted.
hi,its my 2nd day having a hd2.
I think my card isnt comaptible to wp7
its a Rdata class 6 16gb card.
I bought a used t-mobile hd2 running on stock wm6.5
and decided to dual boot on wp7 and android
the thing is when I installed LEO70 ROM everything went well.
no reboots or anything like that showing incopability of the sd card.
BUT, apparently when I was going to prepare the sd card for partitioning as I read on guide I followed.
my card reader wont pick up my 16gb rdata class 6 card. OUCH!
even my old nokia phone rejects it and says its unformatted blah blah blah.
plugged it in again on the hd2 then went to zune and zune says 0 free space.
plugged the sd card again on a card reader and still no go.
tried another card reader and still it wont pick it up.
then tried another card reader.
this time it reads but for minutes and minutes for scanning.
no drive letter.nothing.
tried a 8gb card and ALL the reader picks up.
opened sdcard formatter and it wont pick up my sd card.
MAGDLR 1.13 wont recognize it too. all I head is the sound of a hardware being connected to the pc and that's it
please someone help me here.
I will be so glad if you could help me with this problem
I wont go back to wp7 again after I resolve this.the sd was working
how DO I revive the sd card for other use?if I canr use it for wp7
I dont wanna waste another card trying though.
note: Im currently downloading a stock t-mobile MR 3.14.531.1.exe
is this safe?and if I successfully install this will winmo 6.5 be able to format my sd? please I dont have extra money to buy another card cause all of my sd cards are being used by other phone.
thanks in advance
Get yourself a copy of SDFormatter. Put the card into your PC and run this free utility. You should then be able to do a complete format through Windows.
Your sd card is not compatiable. There are many threads in xda about this and how to format, copy partitions etc. THis thread is also useful giving you links for partition/format utility http://www.techienote.com/tag/technology
Format your card and use it for something else. Have a read of the threads in the wp7 hd2 forums, there are a few threads about which cards reported that work, I use a transcend 8gb class 6, works well.
ok thanks will try reading more
and by the way I have sd formatter but it really wont pick up my sd haha
ok thanks will try reading more
and by the way I have sd formatter and easeus but it really wont pick up my sd haha
what a shame.
another wasted money
Was reading earlier somewhere on here and they were talking about a low level formatter. Then format it using regular tools. What ever that is not sure but apparently it fixes some of these problems.

Hi,
(Strange problem - OS does not detect SD Card however Bootloader does and loads ROM from SD Card)
I have a strange problem from this morning. I had WP7 mango installed which was working pretty ok apart from a few restarts if the bottom part of phone got warm/hot, so I kept it in from of AC (This idea usually works with HD2)
This morning, WP7 gave an error saying it can not detect the 16 GIG SD Card, I reformatted SD Card using Nokia phone/FAT32 and re-installed WP7 however it gave a message saying No Storage Card present.
I have also tried installing WM6.5 but that too doesnt not detect SD Card.
On top of above, strange thing is that I have installed 3 different version on WM6.5 stock ROM using SD Card method (pressing VolDn methos while powering phone up to boot load ROM from SD Card) and it works perfectly fine however the OS does not detect SD Card.
Has any body faced this problem and have a solution?
Or does any body know of a solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Ash.

further to add, i have tried 2 sd cards 4gb and 16 gb. WM6.5 says no SD Card present however the WM6.5 and all of software (ROM, Radio, Splash etc) were loaded/installed using LEOIMG.nbh on 16gb SD Card.
I have searched the forum as well as other sites, and have tried re-formatting sd card as well to no luck.
Please help, if you have any idea of whats wrong.
Cheers,
Ash

We're all too surprised you managed to flash using a 16gb SD card.,,, normally anything 8gb or larger won't flash nbh files, so your problem is pretty strange.
I lost the shipped 8GB SD card more than year back and since then I am using 16GB SD card with HD2 and it worked perfectly.
Does OS like WP7/WM6.5 uses mount in some way to have card and contents available? If so, can it be mounted using MAGLDR or CWM, since the bootloader which IPL can read the SD Card.
Cheers,
Ash
indeed this is a baffling problem. can't think of conclusive reasons why the tri-color bootloader can see the sd card but OS (WM6.5, WP7, Android) cannot!
i am assuming you have just ONE partition on the sd card...? can you check and tell us the format of the filesystem, i.e. FAT or FAT32...? i think FAT isn't even possible on a 16GB card...it will likely be formatted as FAT32, but lets check to be sure.
Hi ASCIIker,
Many thanks for your response, the SD Card is FAT32 formatted. I have tried both 4gb and 16gb cards but WM6.5 says No Card found.
See screen shots attached. I have also attached screen shot of version showing Stock ROM flashed earlier today using SD Card.
I am not too sure, could it be some thing like mounting of SD Card under these OS's or under SPL which is not able to mount these SD Cards,
The problem started when phone was running WP7 Mango 8107 but it used to crash if it got hot and re-boot on its own, may e one of those automatic re-boots, the OS unmounted Sd card. When I looked at it in the morning, it was showing an error message of no storage card present and the options available were emergency call and shut down. I tried re-booting it 1-2 times and it still showed same message and then I tried loading WM6.5 from SD Card using LEOIMG.nbh which worked and left me confused.
I have also tried USB Mass Storage option of MAGLDR 1.13 however that doesn't work either.
I have never used CLk but I can try that if there is a way to access SD Card using USB with it.
Any suggestions for reviving it back are welcome.
Cheers,
Ash

It is worth a shot but i suspect you it still will not detect the SD card. Just click on the HD2 guide in my sig and scroll down to post #3 and look for the section "Updated version of clk with CWM built in" and click on the link that takes you to the download of that version. Then the bottom of post #1 and read the section "Flashing cLK via SD card". This will have clk with Clockwork Mod installed on your device. Then boot your device and hold down the home button at the same time, this will boot you into CWM and theb select "Mounts and storage" then select"mount USB storage". If you do not see the contents of your SD card on your computer then it is not working. Make sure to try "install zip from sdcard" as well. Just see if it reads the SD card that way.
Also I take it from your posts that you have tried otion #4 USB Mass storage in MAGLDR. So like I said I doubt CWM will see it in mass storage either.
Seeing as WP7 uses the SD card for the internal memory and is constantly using the SD card reader on the device at high speeds. It may just be a case of the SD card reader not being operable with the OS anymore. I mean it has to work at a certain speed level I think for the OS to be able to use it, and maybe the bootloader does not require that same speed. Or it may just be a case of the reader not being able to mount the SD card as read and write both still so it just will not mount it. Like I said these are just shots in the dark. But if it is a problem with it mounting in either read or write it could cause this problem I beleive.
Hi T-Macgnolia, thank you for this detailed reply. I was able to install CLK using SD Card method however it does not recognize SD Card nor does it mount it. It shows an error message - see attached screen shot.
I was wondering if a faster SD Card like Class 6 8 GB would make any difference to current state.
Cheers,
Ash

if you're getting the same behaviour with all your cards, then its likely to be a problem with the phone, and messing with this class of that sized card is probably a dead end. (thats not to say you shouldnt try if you have cards available, of course!)
To my mind its gotta be one of two things
1 - some problem with the sd controller, that is allowing low level access to the card, so flashing works, but not allowing the higher level drivers full speed access to the card, in much the same way that a PC accesses the hard disk much faster during a normal boot than it does with a 'safe mode' boot.
2 - a virus/glitch/witchcraft/wp7/other has corrupted all your sd cards in some fashion.
Just guesses, of course.
Good luck.

I agree with Samsamuel completely, it seemsit is something wrong with the SD card reader/controller that is not letting it read the SD card at a higher speed. Or something really strange and funky has happened to all of your SD cards. But I feel it is the first thing and not the later. If you want to try another SD card, as odd as it sounds, I suggest you try a lower class SD card like a class 2 if you can find on. But then again you may already have one and already tried it I do not know. One thing for sure it seems like a hardware issue and not a software or faulty SD card issue.
I had this exact same problem, in the end I ended up going back to original leo Winmo 6.5, then starting over with HSPL - Magldr - CWM - Android (though I guess WP7 will work too).
I don't know what caused the problem, I just put all these anomalies down to the bad nand blocks on my device.
I'll also note that mass storage in Magldr has never worked for me and still doesn't, the drive mounts but crashes on transfer of any files, but within CWM and Android it works now.
If you have exhausted all other options and have not already tried this then it maybe worth a shot. Good luck.
Thanks michael-jb,
I have tried all these options. I have tried installing different WP7 again though, which I will do tomorrow or day after.
Cheers,
Ash
