EC09 Fried SD Cards thread - Fascinate General

So I am wanting those who have used EC09 and either have had their SD card fried or not fried, and give the steps on what they did to get the ROM installed and any post install steps they used.
As of right now I have done EC09 twice.
The first time was with the stock 16 GB SD card installed, flashed the ROM/Radio via odin, installed and rooted with Gingerbreak. And about a day or so after setting up the ROM my SD card became damaged, tried formatting with the phone and windows, and OS X, no success. Eventually had to take it to Verizon to get replaced. Flashed to DI01 when I brought it in.
The second time I am using a 4 GB SD card, erased it with the phone. I flashed the ROM with Odin, then once it loaded, I flashed CWM, booted to CWM, and wiped Data, cache and Dalvik booted into the rom, Gingerbreak'ed it. So far no SD card issues.
So I am wanting everyone to report all they have done, I know there are lots of you who are no issues with the SD card, and if we can atleast make it possible to narrow it down to anything common, we can atleast narrow it down to something to save some peoples SD cards.
My thoughts if it fries the one that came in the phone, flash to DI01, go into verizon and just say it stopped working, and they should replace it.

Just a update for those who care, so far the SD card is still working, havn't gotten a Damaged SD card error yet, installed about 20 apps, and downloaded about 100+ files to my SD card for my Scripture app from my church. So far so good.

just a thought: I'm from the mesmerize forums, but this is my hazard at a guess: It looks like the build is treating the internal sd card as a normal usb composite device, thus using usb data buffers when data r/w occurs. Those buffers are most likely larger than normal sdcards are meant to handle. Large volume data transactions, like watching movies, may damage you card. Just a guess though, from what I'm seeing in the ui.

Is this only for touchwiz based or AOSP?

Anything based off of EC09 is touchwiz.

It's TW-based.
Well, for me, every time I had an SD error it was when I was accessing large amounts of data from the card. I was accessing the gallery, but no pictures were there to show up (it couldn't load them). I tried a Batch Backup with Titanium so that I could save the MMS settings and all of my data for a backup after the first glitch when I lost all of my data completely.
It popped up a window saying the SD was blank and that I needed to format. I formatted and made sure to turn on debugging/development and had no further problems.
One time was enough for me. I'm sticking with CM7, doubly so since the sensors are now all working and all we need is MMS.
EC09 = TouchWiz
CM7 = AOSP

Please atleast answer some of the questions, when you flashed the rom, did you wipe any data, cache or dalvik?
Are you using the stock 16 GB card? Or a different one?

i was lucky, i had no issues with my SD card, but my friend did, as soon as he told me, and said others were having the same issue, i ran on here to read up....i immediately odin'd dl01 modem, then flashed dl01 to ed04...and have been fine. i back my sd card up frequently, but you never know....
now I was running Nameless 4, then went back to stock Gingerbread and rooted/debinged/debloated...and now i'm back on Nameless 4.1...but hearing CM7 is ready minus MMS which I don't use (i use Voice for my texting so i don't have to pay for it) i can finally go back to CM (ran it on both my OG Droid and DInc, so i have been missing it since I got the Fassy....

My sd card is borked too after flashing the full ec09 package. Worked for a little and then started getting errors. Could someone link me the full dl01 odin package that will get me to stock so I can take it in to Verizon and play dumb. Thanks!

Wrong. EC09 is also a modem number. If he was talking about CM7 or MIUI then they are not TW.

I wonder if all the fried SD cards are Samsung that came with the phones? I other non-16GB SD cards work fine with EC09 roms.

Mine got fired as well or something. I could not format the card. Seems like EC09 is the cause for it.
My phone just turn off on it's on, I could not turn the phone back on with the power switch and had to pull the battery out and put back in to turn the phone back on.

I've been using CM7 since test4 and I'm not experiencing this so far. Fingers crossed*

What might your scripture app advise regarding the deceit that is prescribed herein - break your phone, then hold Verizon responsible by using deception? I am no saint, but bringing in your church in a post that advises bad behavior is ludicrous. Let the flaming begin. Just seems especially hypocritical.

cm7 is aosp not ec09 tw gb...so theres nothing to be worried about (well on this issue)

My 2 Cents... I used Nameless 4.1 for days no prob then read it didn't play videos. I of course had to confirm this and sure enough they didn't play. Instantly after this my card went tits up. Mbr was destroyed so had to fix that first before I could reformat card. The card is fine, now on cm7.

Are you really that stupid? It has nothing to do with it being a scripture app, it has everything to do with the fact that it is a app that writes 100+ files to the SD card, meaning the SD card is being used, and not sitting idle, I mean anyone could flash this ROM and have no SD card issues until they do some heavy writing to it.
The Scripture app has nothing to with trying to get it replaced, I was just using it as an example of a App that was writing to the card, and was having issues with my old card when it died.

EVO Deleting images off SD Card?

Ok, I know I heard / read some information regarding users having wallpapers dissapear after the OTA update, however I thought I wasn't a victim, perhaps I was.
However, I have lost 1,000+ images (mostly a large group of wallpapers I had downloaded and hardly looked through) off of my SD card. In addition to wallpapers random pictures are missing that I had taken with my phone.
Mostly curious if anyone had similar experiences? If so, did you deduce they were OTA related, or a specific app? I really don't want this to happen again, so I am looking for any information to help solve this
I am running stock EVO not rooted, for what that is worth.
Thanks in advance!
Update - Apparently all my MP3s have gone missing off my SD card as well

Woww, this just started happening to me. I have not updated my EVO yet.
Is there a way to trace down what the devices does, like a log where it shows activities between the device and the SD Card.
Just curious if you're using the micro SD card that came with the EVO or a newly purchased one, if so please mention card.

I was using the one it came with, as a matter fact, I went to Newegg and purchased a new one 16GB Class 6. I already lost a lot of important pictures. I dont want to take more chances.

Mine is full rooted, not updated so far, with a A-DATA 16 GB Class 6 microSDHC Flash Memory Card and yesterday i lost the whole 100MEDIA directory so.....it seems to be a Evo issue
Could it be an internal issue in the Device? I dont think this has to do with the ROM/Update the device is running.
We need to escalate this as a crucial issue.
I am running [ROM]EVO-NonSense(AOSP Elements), rooted using Toast Method 2, Amon RA, with Calkulin Radio+WiMAX updates.
We should stay on top of this, I'd rather not have WTF moments or develop compulsions to constantly back up all files in some paranoid fashion..
I am using the stock SD card that came with my EVO, thankfully I was able to user some forensic programs and recover most of my images. I did narrow down the time frame of the deletions, however I was unable to determine If I had added any new apps to cause this issue.

What appl did you use?
I used Access Data FTK Imager and made an image of my SD card then from the image recovered what I could of deleted files, and pushed them back onto the SD card when finished.

[Q] Updated to Froyo, Now 6 Gigs of music/pictures gone?

Also, my alarm clock isn't working. Any ways that you could think of to get around it? It doesn't even scan the media card when disconnecting from the USB.
Plug your micro sd card from your phone to a Mac or a PC via a card reader and verify it still contains your data. If it doesn't, you might have lost the data during the process.

LOL.. Samsung's OTA bricked Intercepts, now they're wiping/not seeing SD cards.
Odin FTW.
I lost 4 gigs of photos when I upgraded to dk28 in december.
A google search back then lead me to believe this was a somewhat common, but cause unknown, android problem.

cm7.1.0 rc1-speedy sound issue

for some odd reason when i select audible touch tones, selections, and screen lock i get no sound. any ideas? by the way, volume is on, up, and not on silent.
i did a full wipe before installation. if this is just a hiccup with this build i'll accept it. its just frustrating not having EVERYTHING working, you know?

Do you get sound when using ringtones or playing media or phone calls? Just want to help narrow it down.
Fully wiping and reflashing (maybe even redownloading in case of corrupt dl) is also a good reccomendation.
Its good to do do a

yes, i do get sound with ringtones, audible touch tones, and media.
i should reflash, ive been trying different roms all week. finally settled back into cm7. im just beat from all the flashing wiping reflashing, kernel loading etc. i was hoping it was simple, or a bug with the rom.

It shouldn't be a bug but I think 7.1.0 is an older one (havent used cm7 in awhile) you might want to update to one of the newer ones and maybe even stray away from the RC's and use the stables.

7.1 is the latest "stable" rom, at least its listed as such in rom manager. on the cm web site its still listed as "experimental. the next rom down is 7.0.3.1. im happy with 7.1 for radio reasons, i was having a terrible time with the older cm7 7.0, and played around with synergy which i liked, but i like cm7 much better.
i left coding years ago. i spend more time chopping motorcycles than i do operating systems (i cant stand a stock bike just like i cant stand a stock OS). im proficient enough with software to get myself into trouble, and out of trouble with twice as much work.
thanks for the advice.

You really should go on nightly #179, in my experience the nightlies have been generally better and more stable than the so-called stable versions

"Stable" is just a term they use for liability purposes. That way they can put in whatever changes they want in the nightlies to test them out and you can't yell at anyone if the nightly doesn't work for you. So if you update every nightly as they become available you may find some that will give you problems or reboots. But in my practical experiance as someone that does do that I've found that to be few and far between. The nightlies in general are much more stable than any of the "stable" releases. Plus, they've got a couple cool new features, like integrated screnshots via the reboot menu.
I highly recommend #178. You could use #179 like Thronnos said but it doesn't contain any changes different than #178 (the buildbot when working will build a new nightly weather or not any changes have actually been made) but I have kind of a superstitious distrust of #179. No reason, just like #178. Seriously though, stop reading this and flash a nightly already =)
...crap, I hope he is still reading this because I was gonna remind him to make a nandroid first...

buildbot? enlighten me. how does this work? is it monitored by someone? or does it just spit out a build every night, how does it work?
i thought all the builds were done by someone physically who adds or changes something then uploads it.

The buildbot compiles the peices of the ROM given every night for the developer no matter if changes are made or if everythings there. Thats why there labeled "nightlys"

If you go to Settings-Sounds then there is an audible selections make sure its checked. (I know youve already done this lol just have to make sure)
Also i know cyanogenmod has there own settings. "Advanced settings" i think is what it called. But there are sound settings in there just make sure nothing in there could possibly be overwriting it
Sent from my Epicly Blue Shift!
Odd. I just enabled those 3 sounds and they're all working for me on 178. The dial pad tones do not but the screen lock and screen selection sounds do require your "system" volume to be on. I don't believe there's a way to adjust it in the default menus (probably since it diables the camera sound too) but you can install an app like Sound Manager to adjust it. I'd first check and see if that's turned up and then go through all the settings and see if you've maybe got something else sound related enabled or disabled that'd override those sounds. If you want to try and wipe again and reflash I'd make sure that you also format /system if you didn't.

i did wipe everything except the sd card. i didnt think it was necessary. i did not fix permissions though.
in all honesty, im not THAT irritated by not having sound on those two options. and yes, i do have system volume up and on.
its a bit annoying, but not a deal breaker. id rather have this than stock sense. it could still be my fault. it could be an issue where i need to just start from scratch, but before i go through all that effort ill stop.
ive spent 6 hours or so working on various issues with the phone. now that i am on a good build with a functioning device (my data was getting weird which is why i finally updated to a later cm7 build) im happy.
i really do have some upcoming projects i HAVE to focus on, that need more attention than this.
thanks again for the help everyone. like i said, if i find the fix or solve it ill post an update.

[Q] Best Stable ROM for NC?

OK, so first off I wanted to say that I love how dedicated this forum is, and as a new(er) person to all this it has helped a lot. The biggest thing is, I bought a triple-boot 32gb class 4 SD card from a company and it has the cm7 kang build on it, and an ICS build on it. I'm always having problems with it freezing and having problems with it getting market errors, everything else is flawless, (happens on both roms except nook stock rom). Also I put movies on their using a nook color handbrake option and it hangs alot, so do many other applications. I have had support from the company I bought it from on ebay, but I just want something more stable, able to play n64 roms at 100% and able to pair a sixaxis controller. I have tried various overclocking options, none of them seeming to effect the fact that it will freeze with almost five minutes of decent usage. Any help would be great thanks xda nookers!
Also: ICS is preferred simply because I have it on my SGS II on t mobile and would like it on here as well. But whatever is most stable works for me!
Sounds like you have a slow SD card, which is sad because it's 32GB . A SanDisk class 4 is best for booting off of, better explained here. But other than the SD card, I like using CM 7.2 from my SD, though I'm also fairly new to the Nook Color.

I would not necessarily blame the SD. Who knows what those scalpers put on that SD. They ripped off something. Go to racks' triple boot and redownload his image (which is free, by the way) and start over.

If you re-burn racks' image there is no need to format first. But it would not hurt anything to go ahead and do it.

How to enable more Ram

Unfortunately there is no way to get more RAM for your phone, as it is a piece of the phone's hardware. I have this phone as well, and yes, it is very slow. All you can do is try to make sure you have as few apps running in the background as possible.

The intercept is a piece of trash. I cant believe people still have this phone. The intercept was my first smartphone. I hated it! But that was 3 + years ago. I have a Nexus 4 now.
I had the transform. The sexier version, try a different ROM/kernel. Mine got to an acceptabal speed with my personal ROM. I took out a lot of stuff, kept data and WiFi off. It was usable. Didn't play any games and I never did anything crazy.

Yep, might tight behind, has kept it. I pay less than half of any other plan in my area, so, for now, i will keep it, and smile every month when i have to pay the bill !!!!!!
In short, I would recommend the App " Link2SD". partition your SD card with and Extension. In Recovery, format system to the same as your Extension. Boot. Run the app.
In short, this takes your apps, only placeing a fragemnt in th esytem, as to where it can find the App, and Places them on the SD card Extension, even Widgets, but it tricks the system, into thinking it has more space than it does. Widgets, they still work as they should, if they were in the phone it self, as a posed to just putting them onto the SD card, cause ya know they won't work that way.
FYI > get Titanium Back Up app, keep it on the SD card. move everything through Links2SD, and you should be fine. If something happens to you card, you really cant get the info back out of the extention...just an FYI.......LMAO
