For starters some cards are simply not compatible with WP7.
You should try and make sure that your card is properly formatted before flashing. Use Panasonic SDFormatter to format your card..
FULL>Overwrite.
Size adjustment ON.
Format the card and then try again, If it doesnt work still then you need to use another card. There is a supported card thread in WP7 forum.

you probably would have more luck if you put this in the HD2 WP7 forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=975
you would also find that a quick search wil give you the answer as there are more threads on SD card issues than there are anything else
however because you are new an that was your first post im not going to be a complete arse!
the SD card issue is probably the single biggest issue with WP7 on the HD2.
Im not going to go in to details, but the the basics are as follows,
some cards will work, some cards dont, there is no list, but statistically you stand a better chance with a class 2 or 4 card
other than that there is nothing you or anyone else can do, its Luck, pure an simple.
there is a small chance that you can format the card and have some success, look for the panasonic SD formatter, use it and completely format the card.
It might help but it probably wont.

Oo, ya just beat me too it! but there is no reliable list

Thanks all for the answers
First I will format the card and see what happen. If still doesn't see the card I will buy a new one.
How can I know which SD Card class I already have?
Sorry about my post in the wrong place I will take care next time
have a nice day guys

it ususally tells you on the card its self, a wee number in the corner, some older / OEM cards may be blank, in this case there isnt much you can do to tell, if you can find the model number on it you could google it and see if anyone has posted the spec, perhaps there is a way to view the spec on a PC, ive never tried.
if you do end up buying one just be careful, dont buy anything you cant afford to have sit around gathering dust, there is no way of knowing if it will work until you try it, and even then there is the possibility of it being unstable, random restarts is the most common but there is a whole bunch of stuff that has been put down to dodgy SD cards.
what id suggest is coming back to us (on the WP7 forum) with what you have found, but use one of the many many many threads that are already there, we get a bit touchy when someone opens yet another SD card thread
stick to class 2 or 4 dont go for anything that goes on about ultra fast blar blar, probably go no higher than 8GB just now, as the cost starts to jump up after that and as i said, there is a very real chance that it will either A, not work, or B have issues.
once you get a working one though it is trully very very fast!

SD Card reading issue

Hi guys, I dont know if there is anybody get the issue, I'm really bothered by the this one.
I have a HTC Dream, and i want to flash a Sense Rom on my g1,so i follow the instructions online, i partition my SD card, and flash a Sense ROM, everything is OK during all the procedures.
But when i boot my g1 to the lock-screen interface, the screen has no response for anything, no matter how i drag the "bridge", the screen does't respond.By the way, i have rooted my g1 and have the Danger SPL.
Above is the instance one.
Instance two, I use CM4.15.1 before, and at that time, when i open an application that is reading/writing something from/to my sd card, there is more than 80% possibilities to let the screen respond anything, even though i pull out my sd card, my g1 will not awake, i have to pull my battery off.
It really bother me, i cant do app2sd also.
Is there anybody know what my g1 happened or what i can do?
I think this is more screen-related than sdcard related. At least that's how I understood it.
also do you have a CLASS 6 SD card? thats a speed rating.... if you dont see a number inside of a C printed on the card, that typically means is class 2, the slowest type....
get at least a class 4, but class 6 is reccomended ESPECAILLY for sense builds
Thanks for attention

I have changed several Sense ROMs, but none of them works OK, they have the same issue.
I use CM ROM before, applications that don't read or write sd card works perfect, but others such as Camera will make the OS response for anything. So I think there maybe something wrong in reading or writing sd card.

I have a CLASS 4 Sandisk card and a CLASS 4 Toshiba card, I have tested their reading and writing speed by a tool, they seems OK, especially Sandisk card, it has max 18M/s read speed and max 16M/s write speed, so I think it is enough for Sense ROM.

[Q] Do you have problems with your sdcard? Specially high-class sd cards?

Since I bought a new sdcard (Lexar 16gb class 6) for my Milestone 2 I've been having a really annoying problem: It doesn't work well. The phone becomes irreponsible after a few minutes with the card inserted, PowerAMP nor Gallery can't scan media after a given time, and file explorers doesn't work at all, all of that collapsing to a full crash after 8 to 10 minutes (black screen, no response from keyboard or capacitive buttons whatsoever). So, my question is, does anyone have the same problem? I've tried doing this hack on my phone (http://www.xda-developers.com/android/increase-the-reading-speed-of-your-sd-card/) where the read_ahead_kb value is changed to a bigger value, but no dice (I thought since it has problem reading media, an increase of read speed would solve it). I have this huge sd card, with a performance near class 10 (about 9.8mb/s, tested on my notebook) and I can't use it. The card looks ok, I've almost filled it up with music on my notebook but when it goes to the phone, it's a disaster. I didn't tested with other class 6 or higher because I can't find one on Brazil (everything here is TOO expensive, they charge about U$100 for a class 6 card) and I can't import another right now, so right now I don't know if it's a problem with the card or if Milestone 2 has a problem with high capacity/high class cards. I'm using a 8gb class 4 right now, and it works perfectly,
So, does your sdcard performs well? What's its capacity and its class? Which brand?
Sorry for my english
There is a long thread about it somewhere and lots of people have this problem.
Nope, no problems with my Transcend 8gb Class 6. Perhaps its a card size or (less likely) the brand?

Yeah I read the thread but I just refuse to believe that a 2010 device, which was a flagship can't handle this kind of card when my old Nokia from 2008 can handle it seamessly
This needs to go into the general forum I think, not the development forums
There is a thread in here somewhere that provides a change to a file which speeds up the read/write of your memory card.. maybe give that a go?

Already tried that, didn't work.
Also, I believe that it's a problem with the software, the hardware is too new to not have compatibility with these cards. Maybe some dev has a solution or can find a solution, that's why I posted it here
Moved as not android development.
if i remember correctly, there was a long thread on this, and the resolution was to format the SD card while its in ur phone, soft reset, and that should solve the problem.

This solution does not work.
Clusters size of your SD card also influence its performance and stability.
Have you tried SDFormatter with Full ( overwrite ) para.?

thanks for the solution. i tried it with a 16GB card and i didnt seem to have any problems. anybody else having problems with this issue can try this method out.

This looks promising. I'll try to format it with a bigger cluster size. Also, this music related problem looks a lot like my problem. I'll try that and I'll be back here to report if it works. Thanks for the hint ;D
No deal =/
I'll try it again on the weekend, but I'm starting to think that I have a defective sdcard, which is odd, because it works perfectly on my computer.

It must be a software-related problem. Gotta wait for an update from Motorola, maybe it'll solve this problem...

I would like to try this solution too but the file with libs is missing doesnt somebody have it and could it upload somewhere?
The mp3 cracking problem has been solved in later ROMs (i.e. they've already replaced the libs). I'd suggest upgrading your device to at least 2.2.2.
it was probably solved for someone, but to replace the dll's helped me with sd card issue anyway
(I already have gigerbread, but 16 gb's card freezes repeatedly)

Micro SD card stopped working. PLEASE Help!

This weekend I was driving along and my CoPilot stopped working. Then I noticed that a couple of other apps weren't working and that the camera said it wouldn't take photo's until I inserted the SD card. I've had an 8GB card in there for the last 18 months.
Taking the card out of the phone and putting it in the PC does nothing. The PC at first says the card needs formatting but if you say yes it just says, insert a card.
I took some pictures at a friends Stag Party and I really need to get these pics off the card. I don't care about anything else.
I've tried a few of these "recover your images from a corrupted or formatted card" programs but they all require the card to be visible to the PC for them to work.
Has anyone get any ideas? Please help me
You could try a differnt card reader/different pc and hope that it works then, but tbo if its borked then with paying lots for data recovery, I'd say your out of luck
Sadly, I think you might be right. Looks like that card has gone to silicone heaven to be with all the calculators.

I would try every usb plug you have on your computer. i had the same problem and i kept at it. it took me several days to finally get it to work & to be honest im not sure why/how it did but i was thankful none the less.
i used this program & like i said i just kept trying. what worked 4 me was i held the card in the computer but only half way which the computer then was able to see the card. if you format the card you will lose everything on it so if you want pics off it & you format it you wont be able 2 recover them.

Thanks for the advice I'll give it a shot.
I thought at least if I could get it formatted then I could use some picture recovery software to get the pics back. It's so frustrating because there are only about 10 pics that I'm even bothered about. Everything else it backed up
hopefully that program will let you see that card, it did with mine eventhough though computer wouldnt. odd i know. i wouldnt apply or mess around to much with that program if you dont know what your doing because you can make it more difficult to regain your images. i gave the link 4 version 5 but i used version 6. i couldnt find it earlier 2 post, sorry. they do have a data recovery program that i used as well but ill have to hunt it down 1st & then i'll post the link.
i bought a hacked 16gb memory stick off ebay (!%$#@&$) that became corrupted and i was able to recover some of my files using the programs below. hope this will help you out.
MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 6.0
MiniTool Power Data Recovery
Thanks a lot man. I'd managed to find those from your first link. In fact, Partition Wizard actually suggests the 2nd program if the first one doesn't find anything
I've run Partition Wizard against it. It took all night after starting it at about 9pm it finished at 8am this morning. It thought my 8GB card was a 2TB drive but hey, at least it could see something which is more than any other tool.
I didn't find anything using that one but I'm going to try the Power Data Recovery tonight. Fingers crossed.

I think your Sdcard does not match to Wp7.
Change another sdcard and try again
I am using Sandisk 8m that for your reference.

I have 2 cards thay are both sandisc one is 16 gb the other is 4 gb i think thay are both class2 but am unsure thare is a logo that says c2 in the top right of the cards
however I dont think thats what the probulm is!
but am unsure.
I realy hope someone will help me figure this out.
Are you having this problem with BOTH SD cards, or just one?
The SD card, WP7, HD2 combination is very finicky. My Kingston 8GB c2 seemed to be functioning perfectly fine, with the exception of 6-7 hours battery life w/ little to no usage. I also noticed that it took a while for apps to install at the last step of a hard reset on 7720.
Thinking that Kingston was good, I upgraded to 16GB c4. The device wouldn't even boot past the splash screen after leaving magldr. So, I changed to a PNY 16gb c4 and got to see just how badly my 8GB had been performing. The apps that took a while to install at the last step of hard resetting Mango were installed in an instant. And my battery life tripled. I don't have to worry about my phone dying anymore.
So, it's very likely that your SD card can be causing the random reboots. Use dev_storagelock to unlock the card you currently have installed. Perform a hard reset. Stop the process when magldr starts and swap cards. Allow the new card to be integrated into WP7 and see if the reboot problem persists.

It's probably not the ROM and most likely the SD card. That's what WP7 does. It's super picky.

i did a haed reset and cleard all crc data the problum still ocurs
the only diffrence to both of the sd cards a i have is size
so unless i was to go buy a higher class im gessing buying another would be pointless
the weard thang is this didnt alwase happen
i used bttfv1 no problums
had bttfv2 then all sorts of problums started happening first time i flashed most of the updates with zune
then was forced to start from scrach agin after i messed up my registry with advanced config
second time i upgraded to bttfv2 i used the one shot method and im not exactly sure but i think thats when i started haveing the issue.
You allready know what's wrong, it's the SD cards you've been using. Keep trying with class 2\4\6 Sandisk cards.

what was that a sarcastic remark? & no i dont know whats wrong because as i stated before i didnt have this problum before my previous installation.
i am useing sandisk class2 16gb i am useing the card that came with the phone i realy dont understand why that would be the issue?
whats the best card to get then?
Your SD card would be the issue if the card or some sectors on the card lacks the required random read\access speed. This could very well create problems on one installation while working seemingly fine on another.
I've already said what cards I believe gives you the highest chance of working, you'll just have to keep trying with those. Theoretically you could also try reinstalling the whole thing and hope that no critical files ends up on the lower speed sectors of the card, but I don't know what chance that would have of working.
The only marketable difference between the cards may be size, but WP7 doesn't really care about that. When I we say that it's picky, we really mean it. You can have great success with one card, and then put another in of the same brand different class and WP7 will no longer boot. SD cards affect battery life and everything.
By an SD card from Fry's, if there's one around. They've got a 15 day return policy w/o restock fee. I only went through 2 cards finding the right one to upgrade to, but was prepared to go through their entire selection and the sales girl even told me to not feel bad about doing it.

[Q] HELP problems writing in micro SD S4

Hi my problem is, I was transferring some videos from my desktop to my S4 micro SD, it suddenly threw an writing error, a few seconds later I unplug my phone from the usb and then plug it again, I was able to copy the files.
Everything was okay until I restarted my phone, the videos were gone. And now doesn´t matter if I write or delete something from the SD card every time that I restart my phone or remove the SD it returns to what it was.
This is my 2nd 64GB micro SD having this problem the first one was with my Samsung Note 10 2014, but was exactly in the same way.
I need to know if it can be fixed and how or do I need a new SD card.
I can think of a couple of possible causes.
I'm wondering if you might have a fake microSD card. In other words, looks like 64GB, but is really only 32, or maybe 16 GB, or something else. Think where did you buy the card. If you bought on line especially, this could be the case. You can get software that will check it.
If the card really is 64GB, then maybe you can try reformatting it to see if that corrects the problem.

Memory cards corrupt because you copy large files at a time which cause fault in memory card internal circuits...Copy data at some intervals give it break dont try to fill 64gb at a time..
