Is there any way or any android roms that can be flashed WITHOUT the use of an SD card?
My SD card is currently unrecognized on my windows 7, CWM and WM6.5 after unsuccessful attempts at installing the latest WP7 Mango (I also tried unlocking my SD card, but it failed to detect card). By unrecognized I mean that the system CAN'T SEE IT AT ALL, like there is NO SD CARD INSERTED.
I heard that android 'could' recognize cards that are otherwise unrecognizable and be able to fix it. It's my last and only hope left to save my SD card.
Only some devices can unlock the sd cards..

Hrm.. I don't think my SD is locked though, if it was then XBmod's unlocker would've worked and unlocked it. It's just that my SD card isn't detected at all...
Oh okay use a SD Card reader and format it with "sd formatter"
I had the same problem with my SD card, turned theres a difference between micro SD and micro SDHC, well mine and many other older card readers do not recognize this SDHC type at all.
good luck
I got a adapter for that when I bought my micro sdhc card.
Maybe you get one

i did to, but apparently my (built-in) card reader was too old, it wasnt the shape or adapter or anything, it just wouldnt recognize it - but at least it taught me a lesson, always nand backup and careful with the wipes

My SD card is not functioning. It just happened one day and it is not recognized by HD2 anymore. The MAGLDR will not properly open it and it is unusable for my WP7 also. This happened while running Android of the SD card.
The card is the original Sandisk 16G. When I connect it to a PC through the phone or SD adapater it shows an unformatted partition of 30MB. EASUS will not recognize anything else either. That 30MB partition I cannot format. Not even through Pananosic SD formatter.
Is there anything I can do to recover my SD card. I don't care about the data.
Thank you.
original SANDISK?!? My phone and many other HD2's I've seen have came shipped with a SAMSUNG 16gb.
Craigslisted phone?

Yes I bought it of e-bay. Slightly used. I though the Sandisk was original.
You probably can not format it because of one ofcthe two following reasons.
One WP7 formatscyour SD card using RAID (Google it if you want to know more) so it can use your SD card as internal memory. You have to useva formatting software that can remove RAID. Or stick your micro SD card in a micro to mini SD card adaptor and then stick the adaptor with you SD card in it in a digital camera and format it. Then you can use standard formatting software to reformat using Fat 32.
Two WP7 has fried your SD card and it is time for a new one.
Conect it to the pc via a card reader download and run AESEUS partition managere free version and full format the sd card as fat 32 primary partition, if the card is recoverable that will work - or buy a new one from amazon or play - never- nerver buy from ebay as it could always be a fake or cheap copy
Today I received a 16GB Kingston micro sd to replace my fried scandisk.
I was not able to recover anything from the old SD card. I hope kingston will be proven better.

Command Prompt
(dont type the quotes in)
Type "DISKPART" press [enter]
Type "List disks" and [enter]
find your usb or sd card in this list but be careful, you dont want to wipe out the wrong partition. Generally it is the last disk.
Type "Select disc #" [enter] (Replace the # with the device value in list ie: 1,2,3... ect)
Type "Clean" then [enter]
then to recreate the original partition type
"create partition primary" then [enter]
This will wipe all the partitions including wp7 off the sd card and then allow you to reformat the sdcard with its original capacity.
it's happened to many with sandisk users, even me.
I sent it back to the company that sold me the phone and the card and they said it was busted, I replaced it with a card from another brand and that solved it.

Original Sandisk? The POS Sandisk that they shipped with these things? Well now you know why. They had some sort of return thing a while ago. Don't know if it's still in effect.

I don't think it has anything to do with the fact it is the one that came from with te HD2, although it was reported by many they had problems with the original SD cards. I think it has more to do with the fact that the OP was running WP7 on thier HD2. WP7 is known to kill SD cards.

That my be true too, but the original Sandisk SD cards offed themselves even when using Windows Mobile 6.5.
We have a T-Mobile HTC HD2, it came with a 16GB MicroSD card.
Lately, the phone is having trouble reading this SD card, and ONLY this SD card.
Any other MicroSD card I plug into it, from other phones or other devices, it reads them fine, and if I plug it's card into other phones or devices, they read the card perfectly fine as well! I tried it in other phones, in usb microsd readers, and even using a sd adapter in my laptop's built in sd reader, digital cameras, Wii, and PS3. The PS3 was the only other device that could not read the card,
But when I plug the card it came with into it, now it mounts it and works fine for about 30 seconds, then unmounts it and acts as if there is no card inserted.
We have had this phone for a year now with no problems of it reading it's own card before, any idea why this suddenly started happening? The owner said he recently dropped it, but that doesn't explain such strange behavior as refusing to read it's own card while reading every other card just fine, and the card reads on any device I plug it into so it doesn't appear to be damaged either.
Have you thougbt about tryinv to reformat your SD card, maybe it has become currupt? You can use the default windoes format software or the Panosonic software, most prefer the Panosonic software. Just do a google search for it to find it. To use the defualt Windows format software just go to Start>My Computer> and find your SD card listed as a removable drive and rigbt click on it then select format. Make sure to make a back up of your data that is on it if you can before you format it, and do a full wipe not a fast format and use Fat 32.
I tried SD Card Formatter 3.0 but it didn't help, it also refused to do a full format, claiming my card didn't support it.

Hmmmmm that program should have worked, curiouse?
Here is a link to the download for the Panosonic SD card formating software. Give it a try and if it does not work hour SD card may have just played out on you. What for others here to post with more advice tough befor you just toss your card and get a new one as someone eles may know something I Don't. Also go to this post, I know you have not flashed WP7 to your HD2 but this may still help as it will wipe any acidental portition that was made somehow on your SD card. Plus itcjist helps hou cover all your bases.

Thats what I used.
Also, I know about partitioning a drive, the sdcard does not have multiple partitions on it.

Sorry about that I just googled " SD Card Formatter 3.0" and it carried me to another site.
As I said in my last post I just linked the post to make sure you were covering your bases.
If you tried the Panisomic software with no joy then it is very possible your SD card is ready for a funeral.
Bit don't just take my word for it let some more members post with their ideas. Sorry I could not be of any more help.
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, anyone using a 32GB Transcend card?
win 7 was ok with a 2GB Sandisk and an unmarked 4GB card, dual boot with android.
are some roms better than others or is there anything else i can do or is that just how it is?
tried full clean format of card etc.
did you try insert card on already installed WP7 or you flashed ROM with card inside?
you cant only insert card... you need to make hard reset or flash ROM to use new card...
http://www.wpcentral.com/first-offi...-certified-microsd-card-announced-sandisk-8gb
same with my 16g Transcend, WP7 doesn't recognize it while flashing, what I did was use an 8g Sandisk then just made an image copy of that to the Transcend then it is OK, but during the flashing it wont see a Transcend card
you guys need to realize it's not always about the sd card that causes problems. the particular wp7 rom flavor causes incompatibilities. also, you can't copy existing wp7 sd images and expect it to work. just make sure the sd card is formatted in any of the std windows/dos formats...fat16, fat32, ntfs.
also, i've never encountered sd issues with 4 different brands ranging from 8gb to 32gb sizes of sd cards using yuki rom, but these same cards have issues when trying to flash pdaj, ansar, and hd2o wp7 roms.
BTW
if I flash WP7 using the Transcend it wont work
if I flash Android using the Transcend it will work

that goes without.saying. android doesn't have such strict requirements as wp7. as i stated in previous post...other wp7 roms other than yuki rom seem to be prone to sd card issues.

hi,
@dxdy: as i said in my post, i dual booted with android on 2 other different cards ok (by imaging and resizing and adjusting partitions)
bad thing was losing half my sd just for win 7. and i didnt like the idea of swapping cards.
also, the battery issue does not seem to have been bottomed out with its appalling standby times.
thanks though to hjhjhj for that info. that was just what i wanted to know. interesting but strange that different roms see the cards differently.
locking an os to a removable storage card has to be one of the worst features i have seen.
at least with our HD2's we still have other options.
will fire up win 7 again and give it another go.
hi there,
i tried searching for solution but cant find one.
i have HD2 EU version. the problem is with SD card. Currently the phone is running android (Nexus HD2 Gingerbread V3.3a).
i have 4GB class 4 sandisk SD card which the phone is running well. but if i try to use some other SD card, the phone dont detect it. i had the same problem when running WM6.5 but this never bothered me as there were not much apps and stuff.
i have also tired MAGLDR usb mode, and CMW usb mass storage option but the phone is not detecting any other SD card. i have also tried formating card using Card Reader, also tried formating using Naive Android phone, but it all ended up in dark.
any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
