[Q] Problem: SD card not functioning when restoring previous cooked WP7 - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

I updated my HD2 with Yuki-Xbmod v.1 rom. After experiencing excessive battery drain issue, I decided to restore my HD2 with previous WP7 rom (HD2O_1.14_DFT_LEO70_RELEASE_NO_SHADOW). Restoring process completed smoothly but when the phone started, my SD card was no longer recognizable in old WP7 rom. I restarted my phone removing my SD card and it started smoothly.when I updated the phone into Yuki-Xbmod v.2 rom, phone detects the SD card. I know that when I updated in Yuki-Xbmod v.1/2 rom, my SD card became locked. Does this means I have to stuck only in Yuki-Xbmod v.1/2 rom or is there any other way to install old WP7 rom without formatting the SD card by Nokia phone ?

try to change radio to 5.51.. in data folder in v2 rom and then flash and update and use camera trick and i thing that you will not have huge battery drain

Thanks. I've read this way out of battery drainage in Developers forum. Unfortunately I just don't know how to change the radio version (I'm a rookie here) ! Perhaps some link or guidelines can help me out.

i will try to flash v2 rom with 5.51.. radio today that i changed and if everithing goes good i will upload it and pm it to you if you want

I believe that Yuki Xbmod rom V.2 has been changed with radio 5.51T and uploaded in the developer thread. Let me see if this can be a help.

Yea I'm reflashing it at the moment - the new V2 download does contain the 5.51T radio (which is also fine for EU users).

Just finished working on it. Battery tools shows that this radio version (5.51T) reduces excessive drainage of battery into minimal level. So it works fine with me. But somehow I'm just wondering if I can save my SD card for other usage. I tried to format it in cmd, SD formatter V.3, partition manager, MAGLDR and Canon camera (I don't have Nokia). Unfortunately nothing works for me.

Do your SD card work in a PC? - If not, its because your SD card is lock by your WP7 phone, and you need to do the Nokia trick to get it working again.
/nOrphf

I have the same issue. It's a relief to see someone with my problem, and same symptos, and KNOW it's salvageable. There is just one problem: I HAVE A NOKIA N958GB! DAMN IT! That's like so close, but still so far. Only if I had an N95.....
Is there ANY other way of salvaging the SD?
EDIT: The cards are acctually easy to retrieve! You need the DEV_UNLOCKSTORAGE.cab (look in the WP7 mango (Yuki XBMOD) thread) then your PC can read the card and format it and you're good to go. But if you've allready uninstalled WP7 you will need to do a task29 (just in case) install radio, Then MAGLDR 1.13 and then clear the SD MBR (option 10 in magldr menu) and flash the WP7 ROM. Then I THINK you need to upgrade to mango to be able to use DEV_UNLOCKSTORAGE.cab (you can test and see if it works in 7004) and you're able to unlock the SD. Hope this helps someone!

HELP SD Android won´t 1st boot

Flashed some day´s ago WP7 but I reverted to WINMO again... and when I try to put an Android Built on it won´t boot...
I get a cmd lines, kernel something and it get the HTC screen and it get stuck in it... Tryied lot´s of diferent sd builds but the result is the same.
I already formated my sd, tried in other WINMO rom´s and other sd and the result is the same!
I have HSPL 1.66
I have the last radio
I have the same as always and previously the the Android worked fine...
Strange!!!
HELP
Please
You said you formatted your SD card, but did you repartition it? When WP7 is installed it consumes all but 200 MB of your SD card so if you try to reformat it, you will only have 200 MB free unless you repartition it.
Did you say you tried other SD cards? Also, are you running Android from the SD card via Haret from Windows Mobile? Or, are you running a NAND Android ROM?

1- Sure i repartitioned it at full size... wipe de partition, and format a new primary partition in fat32.
2- Android SD via Haret.
Thanks
Do you have Android SDK installed, so that you can run logcat and see what's happening?

The problem must be with WP7, but now all is the same as before but Android don´t boot and I need Android but don´t want to but NAND on it right away because I like WINMO still...
Please help, I´m not the only one with this problem...
I get a cmd, black screen and some text, the last is...
"jumping to kernel (custom)"
And them it crashes on the green HTC BOOT SCREEN.

Try Task 29 via bootloader, flash stock HTC ROM, Reformat SD card on PC and then again on WinMo. Transfer files while in WinMo on SD card or via SDcard adapter, and try booting Android again.
Did you by any chance transfer files on SD card while in Magldr if so the files may be corrupted (known issue) which may explain the problem with kernel not booting up.
Hope this helps.
Sorry for hijacking but nobody will reply in my thread and I'm becoming impatient lol. Can anybody help me?
Hey guys. I'm currently running this ROM, I've been using it for a few days and have had no problems but today, when I turned the phone off and turned it back on, it took ages to turn back on. Then when it did it all looked them same but was kept freezing etc., then up in the notification bar it said "SD Card Removed Unexpectedly" then my phone went crazy with FC's.
So I took out the battery and restarted the phone. Then, it would turn on and go to the lock screen but then it would reboot and be at a continuius* boot loop of the HTC 'Quietly Brilliant' screen.
So then I took out the battery again, this time I took out the SD card too and booted up and my phone was normal again. Obviously with no phone storage though as there was SD card in. Then after I just skipped the setup I put my SD card back in to my phone and went to the music player and all my saved songs on my SD card played. But no internal storage (I have the SD card partitioned with a 1GB Ext3 partition). Then with the SD card in knowing it still works I rebooted again, only to come back to the HTC screen again.
So basically, how can I fix this?
If I'm going to need to format my SD card is there a way I can backup what's in the Ext3 partition?
Thanks,
L.

lrbpereira - I'm the guy that posted having the same results as you in your other thread (this one seems to be getting all the action, though). Just curious, which ROM are you trying? I've been trying Warrenbread's, but I'm thinking about trying another just to give it a shot.

Hi, i´m on Dutty´s 14 PTG. I tryed Energy and the result was the same...
I think it´s someting that WP7 installed on the phone memory... Don´t know why task29 don´t resolve it... But I can´t put the Android SD working...
And it´s seams that this is a problem that isn´t only mine... you - koz - have it too...

Sorry, I should have been a bit more clear - I was curious what Android ROM you were trying to run from SD. Have you found a solution to this yet? Did you try flashing back to a stock ROM, then HSPL & then try an android rom from SD? I'm considering giving this a shot, but I haven't had the time lately.
EDIT: I resolved my issue by reformatting the SD again (I've done it multiple times & multiple ways). This way worked for me. First, back up everything you want to keep from your SD card onto your PC. Download this & install on your PC: http://download.cnet.com/Partition-...62200.html?part=dl-6285158&subj=dl&tag=button . With SD card in the phone, connect to the PC in USB mass storage mode. Start Partion Wizard and format the card to FAT32 at 32kb and as a primary drive. After that, drag-n-drop your flavor of Android onto your SD and boot it up. Hope it works for you.
EDIT 2: After getting android running, I reinstalled all my files/folders back onto the SD card, however, this broke android again (I couldn't get it to boot from SD). So I tried turning it into airplane mode while running windows mobile - and it worked. I can now boot to android from SD as long as I first turn on airplane mode. So, I don't know if the above reformatting was part of it. If someone gives this a try, it might be good to turn on airplane mode and try to boot before attempting the above formatting info. Please post results if you try it and I'll try to edit the above.

[Q] Micro SD card useless after installing Back to the Future [XBmod-Yuki]

Hello everyone, I've recently installed Back to the Future [XBmod-Yuki] with kingston 8gb class 4. Everything was fine until i pressed 'reset ypur phone'. The phone started crashing on htc logo , so I decided to go back to wm 6.5. The problem is my sd card is no longer recognisable by anything. I tried SD formatter, hard disk low level format tool, killdisk, mitool partition, but with no luck

i have the exact same problem i also tried with the cab sender but had no luck if someone could please help us i actualy lost 2 8Gb sd cards
I had to get a new sd card for similar case.

all the solutions they gave in the forum didnt work for me, only this worked:
be carefull never do a reset from the about menu cuz this was the reason all my cards got locked <- im on this now for over a week, so believe me i tried everything, but its never useless to try it yourself because in my opinion you cant talk about a general state of cards or wp7 installation.
Reflash everything with your card inside your mobile, i mean start with windows 6.5 then the radio then magldr and then the native rom from yuki,
as it boots up wp7 you should get stuck on the htc screen because your sd is broken, now empty the sd bevor the phone has booted, and enter it in your sd reader, windows should now detect the card.
this only worked for one of my cards. and no its not depending on the brand because i have 2 sandisks and with the 8 gb it worked... with the 2gb it didnt...
but i still couldnt manage it to get to mango.

I had troubles to install WP also, I just tried again today, and I have it now!
I installed it from cabs, following more or less this:
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/09/16/how-to-install-windows-phone-7-5-mango-7720-on-htc-hd2-video/
I downloaded 7004-7392 and 7392-7720.
I installed in 3 update steps:
1st I installed the ROM,
then 1st update 7004-7392
then I installed all cabs to get to 7661
then I installed all to 7720
Had some troubles, but by keeping trying, I got it
Now I have my red mango!
Even if it is still bugging because of my sd card... Now It freezes 1 second after being loaded.

Had that same issue, just hard reset on magldr (power on, vol up and volume up again) and problem solved.
at the stage of 7.392 to 7403 it gets stuck with me cause of the sd card it wont update and then it gets into a boot loop, its definatly the boot when i need the sd to update, the boot kills my sd and it wont recognize the updates, any trick how to get over that boot which kills the card? any way to get the updates to the card without doing that reboot on wp7
I don't have a solution to the SD unlock, BUT I can tell you that people SAY that if you put the SD in a Nokia device and format it, it will be usable again. I gave myself a serious scare as I thought I had destroyed 2 SD cards, when not even WP7 recognized them, but I found out that if you do a Task 29, install radio 2.15, MAGLDR 1.13, enable 24mb nand and clear SD MBR, then install the ROM again, the phone can read the SD once more, thus meaning it is NOT DESTROYED and salvageable. Hope this was somewhat helpful to anyone else that thought like me he had destroyed his SD!
VERY IMPORTANT: WP7 stops recognizing the cards if you take them OUT of the device, so if you want to save yourself an hour of reflashing DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES pull your SD out. Otherwise you will need to reflash if you want the phone to see the SD again.
EDIT: Read my next post for the solution! Hope this helps
How to format a WP7 secured card
Hey guys,
I have flashed WP7 from initial builds to NODO to Mango so many times that I have lost count...
With NODO I have had success in formatting the card with my Nikon D90.
Cards started to be locked in Mango. The only solution is to format the card with a Nokia C6 or any Nokia with Symbian v8 or above.
I have tried every tool and every tool is dependent on the OS for initial recognition, and OS (Window 7) simply refuses to recognize the "wp7 secured" card.
I managed to salvage my SD card using a SD-adapter and the built-in SD card reader of my netbook... (Android, CWM, and 5 USB card readers didn't work) windows recognized the card as a 200MB card at first (?..)
used SD formatter to restore the original size to 4GB

Oh rly
Because I manaed to reformat my SD WITHOUT ANY CAMERAS OR NOKIAS
All you have to do is use the DEV_UNLOCKSTORAGE.cab and that will unlock your SD which can then be read by your PC and reformatted with SD Formatter 3.0!

I think I realised your problem and I'm sorry. I had missed the part where he says the PHONE can't recognize the card either.
Same thing happened to me, but I just:
1.Ran task29
2.Installed 2.15 Radio
3.Installed magldr 1.13
4.Went into services (WITH MY SD CARD IN MY PHONE) and I picked Clear SD MBR (i don't know if that really helps, but just in case it does)
5.Enabled extra 24mb nand and I flashed the ROM
6.Then I updated to 7720
7.I installed DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab and unlocked my SD, i turned off my phone, I took my SD out and My computer could now read and Format it.
I am truly sorry if this is another "stupid" solution.

So you installed WP7 that locks the card all the way to Mango, installed the DEV_STORAGELOCK to unlock it with a .cab in order to be formatted on your PC? Sure thing, stick with that method, it works...

Are you sarcastic? I mean really are you. Cause I SWEAR it works. The card may be locked, but builds 7004, 7392 can still see it just as well as 7720, but I think you need to be on 7720 in order to use DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab!

[HOW TO]Format SD even when Windows cant reconize it

Hi guys,
today i had bad day. Cotulla released the new HD2 Ultrafruit Rom and i wanted to try it out.
So i followed the flashing steps which worked for me and mostly everone in this forum. Like:
-1st it's recommended to flash an old rom wm 6.5 and let it boot entirely
-Format your SD card too
-Flash magldr 1.13
-Enable 24MB extra memory in Magldr services
-Delete MBR of SDcard in Magldr services
-Flash the rom with DWI & Set a correct time & date.
But somehow my new Transcend SD wont get formated via 6.5 ROM and clearing MBR hasnt made a change to this. I tried serveral times with different approaches and no success.
Another problem was, that when i inserted my 2 old SDs, no matter which one, in my HD2 i could boot just one time. After a reboot, the touchscreen didnt response.
Conclusion for me on this Friday 13. : No phone for me.
But finally i've found a way:
I flashed Yuki and Xboxmods Rom which is able to hande cabs WITHOUT a SD inside. So i had some MB left on my phone memory which allowed me to install DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab from Xboxmod.
But as we know just inserting a SD wont let the phone recognize the card. This works just with a reflash or a hardreset from the Info screen of WP7.
I did a hardreset and after that the DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab was still installed and my SD was recognized. So i could execute the storage lock app on the phone and unlock my SD.
After that my Windows 7 PC could see the card when i went to MAGLDR and its Mass Storage Mode. Then i formated the SD with the Panasonic SD Formatter with Options/Format Type = FULL (ERASE) and FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT on.
->Voila i had my 16GB cards back to life.
The absence of a SD Card Reader wasnt helpful too.
Hope this little How to helps others too.
haha, exactly what happened to me I tried many things, but nothing worked. And then I thought "Okay, lets move to the Q&A Forum and look for answers" .. and your topic was the first one great.
worked perfectly.
Sory about your bad experiance!
We dont need a hole srory to explane how this is done if thats why your reading this! it go's like this...
1.Flash magldr 1.13 (or) if your alredy have it services/clear sdmem
2.Enable 24MB extra memory
3.flash xbmod yukixda 7004
4.install DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab
5 use the app & unlock your card then take it out untill your newly flashed rom boots up then put it back in!
I know he just sayed that but I figure i take out the unusefull parts! make it simple!
I know this is a frustrating experiance to have but never the less hears your fix!

Can somebody please help? Install WP7 on a phone that does not boot...

Hi all,
My HD2 does not boot any more, and attempts to somehow boot into WM 6.5 and get my data failed. So, I want to erase everthing from the phone, and try a WP 7 rom.
My phone does not boot (it reboots endlesly - sometimes I see the WM 6.5 logo).
If I press the volume down, I get a 4 colour screen that says:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-3.03.HSPL XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
I thought a good idea to reflash WM6.5 (the official ROM), but the HTC site has drop any support for the device. So, I don't have the official ROM...
I tried to find some info in the sticky threads, but I am confused, and I don't know how to proceed. Can somebody give any hints?
I found a ROM in my laptop (which must have been an original for my HD2), and I extracted RUU_Signed.nbh, copied it toan SD card, and re-installed WM 6.5.
Now the phone boots. It reports radio 2.06.51.07.
Now, the 4-colour screen shows SPL-1.42.000.
I have made some progress...
you make backwards not forward...
only HSPL 2.08 work for WP7.... not 3.03
and try read install tutorial from link in my signature
Well, I made some progress into a booting phone, at least.
I had installed SPL 2.08, but after that all other installs failed (both through USB & SD card). It took me a while to find out that I need the one ending in HSPL, and not the one ending in zeros.
Your tutorial is very good, I have installed MAGLDR, and now I am downloading the ROM (it will take a few hours)...
Thank you very much for your help...
I followed the instructions, and installed the ROM. When it boots, I see MAGLDR loading, is prints out some numbers, then writes Go, Go, GO, I get an htc logo on a black screen, and the phone stays there for ever.
What may be wrong?
Reading the thread, I saw members asking about their SD card. Is it important?
I have used a small (4GB) one.
Ahh.. didnt mean to thank lol...
Anyways, sd card speed is important because the Windows Phone OS uses the SD card as raid along with the internal memory. So it technically combines internal with external memory to have a working OS since it was built around that subject. Because of this, it would constantly read-write to the sd card and internal memory (but more on the SD card for memory space IMO).
Try going to this link for help installing Windows Phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24606093&postcount=7
Thanks for your help. Actually, trying the rom here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236027
worked. Perhaps the rom I tried was not suitable for my card...
this (Yuki BTTF) ROM lock card.... you must unlock card first before flash other ROM
Further to what has been mentioned so far, you might want to use a microSD card with decent random read/write speeds (at least 1 MB/s write speed for 512Kb chunks). You can test your microSD card using software such as CrystalDiskMark or Atto Disk Benchmark).
Some microSD cards are proven to work flawlessly (I use a Sandisk 32 GB class 4 card, P/N: SDSDQM-032G-B35).
I hope this helps you out.
To say the truth, it is not an easy task (and I can only imagine the problems the ROM creators face).
I had a class 4 sandisk 4 GB to test. Initially, I tried the "03.April 25 Lang HD2 Pdaimatejam Rom Wp7.5 Tango 7.10.8773.98 v7.9" ROM, but it never got passed through its booting screen, with the HTC logo on the black screen.
After many retries, I tried to use another ROM, and I found "XBmod-Yuki". This worked just fine with my SD card, but Zune did only a small update, very different from the versions mentioned as upgrade path.
The update scripts didn't work either, so it was "stuck" to WP7, and I wanted to try Mango.
So, I returned back to Pdaimatejam, to get a surprise: it booted, and told me that the sd card is either from another WP7 phone, or absent. The SD card didn't work anywhere!
Many hours of searching led to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17306984&postcount=3, which is very difficult to achieve:
the tools didn't work with the zune version of my PC, and when I managed to install the cab, the phone with the SD unlocking tool froze after a few seconds in WP7, so getting it to work and unlock the SD card, was a shere luck.
So, having retrieved my SD card back (it now works in my laptop), I searched the forum for suggested sd cards, and I bought a transcend 8GB class 10, to try again with Pdaimatejam, which does not seem to lock the SD card.
But I haven't been lucky, I get the same behaviour from Pdaimatejam (stuck in the HTC logo) also with the new card. And I am out of SD cards to try...
Actually, I am thinking in buying a Lumia 900, but I know nothing about WP7. I like very much their GUI visually, but I don't know if they work well (and everybody seems to suggest to not buy it). I thought it would be easy to "test" them in an HD2 I had arround, to see what WP7 offer, especially with offline GPS navigation. But is not that easy after all...

Anyways, sd card speed is important because the Windows Phone OS uses the SD card as raid along with the internal memory. So it technically combines internal with external memory to have a working OS since it was built around that subject. Because of this, it would constantly read-write to the sd card and internal memory (but more on the SD card for memory space IMO).

I don't know why, but following your suggestion (install WM 6.5 - I used official from HTC in SD card), and install again everything, but avoid task29, worked.
Thanks.
You can update either through the zune software or the cab sender. Did you try the latter method? You can find the appropriate thread over here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250869
You can fetch the cabs from XBMod's FTP repository, specifically here:
xboxmod.sylvester20007.com/CABS/OSBUILD.CAB/
Would you have an issue with the SD card, I'd advise you to have a look at the text file located within the CABS folder.
So far, I've had a great experience with itself. It's great stability wise, and gets you the job done smoothly. Of course, the marketplace is a different story: it still lacks a few key apps, in some categories, such as GPS navigation software. (of course, you can already fetch navigon, turn by turn or garmin from the marketplace, but still, none of them has maps covering my current location).
As for deciding whether or not to buy a second generation windows phone, such as the recently released Lumia 900, it's all up to you to decide based on your experience with the OS, although I'd be more inclined to wait for a proper confirmation from Microsoft or Nokia, that WP 8 will be dispatched to currently available 1st and 2nd generation windowsphone devices.
In any case, try updating your XBmod-Yuki BTTF rom using the cab sender, and hopefully it works this time.

I installed [19.7.2012][NT 8779 V1 18L 3La 3Lb]LEO_ML_51240101_R_5710902a_22515021 by ansar. Before I had this rom installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953078. I had SPL-2.08.HSPL, Radio 2.15 and DFT MAGLDR Bootloader v1.13 installed. While using the HD2O© WP7 8779 (TANGO) The phone worked fine, I even was able to attain a activation code. (did it all in like 4 hours really late last night). So this morning I just flashed the one I said i installed 2nd above and thats when I started getting this problem. Ive tried the methods of the 1234 reset and things. So wondering if i have to go all the way back to stock 6.5 and work my way back again or if there is something that I can do. Because even booting up without SD card i still get the same error message.
did you format your card in PC before flashing new ROM?
sometimes behavior with SDcards is unpredictable... almost all problems in HD2 WP7 is related to SDcards...

0k so i was able to get past it by going into madglr and pressing reset. But unfortunently the phone won't recognize any of my 3 sd card. 2 are 2gb and one is a 4gb. Is there anyway to get it to recognize them?
-thanks

per other posts and threads...it's a hit and miss with sd cards. personally, i've never had any sd card issues using yuki rom, but roms from other chefs have caused sd card compatibility issues. there is something about the base wp7 rom by those other chefs which causes sd issues. i have used sandisk, 3c, topram, lex brands...no problems with yuki, but causes problems with pdaj, hd2o, and ansar roms.
and fyi...there's no need to format the sd prior to using with wp7. wp7 will reformat the whole card anyway.
another issue you may have with your sd card is if you used them with yuki. if this is the case, you need to reinstall base yuki, install devstorageunlock cab, unlock sd card, then you can use the cards with roms by other chefs.
