[HOW TO]Format SD even when Windows cant reconize it - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

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!

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?

Nope, don´t know how
Dont think it´s a problem with the Android SD builds, I tryed some diferent and the problem keeps there...
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

Or
Youtube type in search(video from 96edwy)......> htc hd2 how to format your sd card after wp7 use
thaks for the help, but both methods are not working, i've installed storage lock, but my sd card is no longer recognised by the phone itself. when i go to mass store, my pc is not finding anything either.
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!

WP7 Noobie needs help

Hey guys,
I have kind of a bad time figuring out what the requirements for Windows Phone 7 are. I checked my SD card (Kingston 4GB Class 4) - Seems to be working.
I read sth. about WP7 encrypted SD Cards. Does that mean that I have to unlock them somehow after they are formatted for Windows Phone?
Now I'm wondering which rom I should install. I would go for Tango, but I'm wondering if the experience is the best, since it's not released yet. So which Rom is the most reliable? (Mango or Tango)
And how should I partition the NAND? Can I use the NAND toolkit for that?
Besides activating the rom, do I have to mind anything else?
Do I always have to update via a Windows machine?
Thanks in advance!
PS: Right now I'm on Android with clk installed.
Any "compatible" SD card is fine with WP7 ut it is recommended to use 8gig or even 16gig card since most of the apps are a it huge. WP7 installs on NAND so what ever you need from there make a backup/ copy of it.
if your phone has HSPL 2.08 just press the Vol Down & Power & you will see a tri-color screen with HSPL 2.08
this is what I did to install Tango
- HSPL 2.08
- Task 29
- Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14
- MagLDR
- MagLDR Repartition 300/ 45
- Magldr
- Service
- Clear SD MBR
- uselast24NAND
- USB Flaser
- Flash WP
- Done!
if still the error persist try replacing the SD card coz mine had a problem with Trancend's 16gig card.

I use HD2Owner Tango Build. It's rock stable and fast. Android can't beat it. Advantages bsides speed and simplicity are excllent camera and 720p video recording. Battery life is pretty decent, too.
Installation is different to Android NAND. All you have to do is HardSPL you phon, install proper Radio and Task29 before installation. When you finished HD2Owner Rom download (see my signature), there'll be a DWI.exe which need to be run while your HD2 is connected through 4. USB Flasher
But everyone tell as about something other.. once you need to click Services > uset last NAND and sth. about SD... next doesn't tells it.
How long can take first boot with 16GB card? I installed Tiger.. go sleep and mornign nothing change (about 6h of "loading system"). Now I fight with that whole day and nothing... Android is simple like 2+2, but WP7 is more complicated.. Once it says "you have wrong SD" other time it doesn't start. It's fak up to my brain...
I've Euro Leo 512MB and Kingston 16GB mSDHC cl4! and I looked into topic about SD cards and other posted about this card in positive.
I did every tutorial from this forum.. noone works for me
My neighbor bought Samsung Omnia W and I want to test this WP7, he is incredibely happy about OS
#EDIT
OK, I install [email protected]'s rom and after 25 minutes od loading system I turn off phone by remove battery and I checked SD card.. nothing changed.. 1 partition fAT32 with my files. But tutorials write about 2 partitions.. 200MB FAT and rest of unidentified to RAID. How to prepare that? Maybe that's the problem.. it's too big card for first run?
The size of your card isn't a problem. When you read in tutorials about 200MB partition and RAID partition, the OS takes care of this, you do nothing.
HD2Owners ROM is a very good place to start with WP7.5 on HD2.
Peace
Edit: ROM installation shouldn't take more than 5 minutes, regardless of microsd card size, once preliminary steps are taken =)
So I do something wrong.. why everyone can have WP7 but not me? You know how many times I do today Wipe Task29? Bllion? more or less
Flashing partitions one by one, flash good radio, flash aMAGLDR 1.13... I think I do everything ok but it's not.
OK, try to install next thousand of times...
#EDIT
LOL by mistake I install without SD card and install correct but one problem.. when I put SD card into phone, it kaboom, have bootloop.
I think the bootloop is because you installed without the sd card.
Reinstall using option 5 in magldr with the sd card in place and it should be good.
Peace
OK I did it, but "Storage card not working", can I set partitions on other device such as PC with gParted? Any idea to which code of partition have this second part of SD? I'm bored of that
I must admit, the partitioning of the SD card by windows can present a serious flaw to rom installation, especially when things don't go according to plan and you end up with an unrecognised SD card.
Do you have a spare one you could use?
Honestly, this would be easiest way....
Peace
---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------
Is your SD card recognised if plugged into a pc? If so then reformatting is the way forward, then you should be able to use it again. Activekilldisc or gparted, any of those should do it - as long as it is "seen" by the pc.
Peace
Today I kamed new allocation table (MBR too) and make partition whole disk primary fat32, format it in Nokia E71 (like in one of topics like) and phone can't reformat it now to 2 partitions (200MB fat + rest unidentified). I dont know why.
OK I give up, thanx for any help. I back to Android.

Clockwork: Can't mount /sdcard

Hey folks..
I've got a really annoying problem..
Installing CWM-Roms doesn't work on my HTC HD2..
I'll start from the beginning:
I bought a HD2 with a broken Screen and repaired it using one of these chinese fakes (It works briliant, but i want to be precise).
When I start the HD2 it shows the LOGO of the T-Mobile Windows 6.5 Version I first flashed. And then boots into Android. I was able to install Android , because it is a DFT- Version.
If I start the Bootloader (Volume Down + Power-Button) the following text is shown:
PB8110 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x50
So let's start installing a different ROM. Everything seems to be ready
I am using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044830 Tutorial
for this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21173918 Rom!
I start with installing the Radio ( Version 2.15.50.14 ). In the next step I installed magldr 1.13.
Works good ! In the Magldr all funktions work! USB- Flasher, mounting Mass-Storage and so on...
I Install the 400 mb Clockwork Mod, which I got from the Tutorial. ( also tried 250 mb Version a few days ago) .... When i start the phone now, magldr starts on its own.. I don't need to press any buttons to get into the menu.
I press on AD Recovery and the Clockworkmenu opens..
For partitioning I press in advanced ---> partition sd card--->1024M--->0M Swap Size--->(Partitioning SD Card ...please wait... Done!)
Back in the Main-menu of clockworkmod I click on "wipedata/factory reset...HD2 says:"Data Wipe complete"
I take out the sd card and copy the ROM to the root of it ( The SD card isn't partitioned)
I put the sd- card back into the phone, start it --->magldr menu starts--> press on Ad Recovery--> install from sd card--> choose zip from sd card
And now there is the Error--> E: Can't mount /sdcard
CWM can't so anything to the sd card.. Mounting mass-storage doesn't work either! Magloader ha full access to the sd card....
Where is the mistake? I've done the Tutorial step by step...
cLK doesn't work as well.. clk isn't able to go into Fastboot mode...
Can somebody help?
Thank you !!
Sorry for my language ... I'm quite tired and english isn't my mothertoung, so my
syntax isn't realy creative
Try formatting using SD Formatter v3.1 with format size adjustment on (quick format should be ok) from pc.
Then if you want ext partition use cwm as before.
First, it can happen that formatting sd in cwm can messed up.
Put card in card reader and format fully your card in windows.
You can also download gparted and make boot cd, boot it and delete all partition on sd cdard, just be careful to select your sdcard and not your hard disk.
If you don't have card reader and nothing helps, ask some friend which have android to format your sd card.
Few tips:
For start try installing magldr roms not clk.
Use cwm 5.0.2.7 for hd2
Use hd2 nand toolkit if you want all utilities in one.
Dont flash cwm with system partition so big as 400mb, there isn't really need for that.
Ever devs give you advice for how big your boot/system/cache partition needs to be if you wanna use particular rom.
Changing system and other partitions size can be done in 2 ways:
1)go to your cwm folder on pc and look for FLASH.CFG, be carefull there also one file similiar name, you need to open flash.cfg as it would be word document and you'll see partition size in there, change to size which dev of room advise.
2) use hd2 nand toolkit and follow instructions from forum
If you are first time in nand installing, read guide how ti use hd2 nand toolkit and cwm, or guide how to install nand rom.

Hmm formating didn`t work.. I'll try partitioning now...
Nope Doesn't help anything.. CWM istn't able to find the sd-card ( I've tried with 3 different sd-cards)
Where can I get this CWM Version? I've seached but didn't found it for the hd2... What the hell is wrong with my device ...Has someone an idea?
I would not be blaming cwm myself, sounds really like a hardware fault!:silly::silly:
Could be wrong tho':silly::silly:
:cyclops:
hmm that would be bad -.-
but its strange, because the for example magldr is able to mount the sd card and my windows 6.5 is also able to acess the card and use it...
So it cant be the sd-slot that is broken .. And as I said i tried 3 different sd-cards , even bought a new one just to be sure..
Flashing my good old htc touch hd was alot easier
I've tried to flash back to the o2 stockrom now, but i get the same error...
There are alot of people that have this error on the internet, but they all got a different solution and non of them has worked for me yet...
If someone got an idea, feel welcome to tell me.
Thank you
Now I understand, if your sd-card worked on windows? then it is a bit of a problem!!
google is your friend...

Does trying to set an AD Dir (services =>bootsettings => ad sd dir) show up the sdcard directory or drop back to the MAGDLr home screen?
Other options, try flashing a different recovery (CWM Touch beta 8 works for me), or try using MiniTool to change the sdcard partition to Promary, from logical.
Okay services=>bootsettings=>AD SD Dir=> no directory is shown ..just <.> ... clicking on this results in a drop back to the magdlr home screen...
Ahh and i had already tried minitool... Didn't change anything unluckily.. Il this version of cwm now
Thank you
ohh damn.. I just thought, that on wm6.5 the sd card worked...
Tested it again ..it doesn't...
Okay .. Magldr is able to connect the Sd-card to my computer via USB, but the Roms can't use the SD card? ..Strange...
Is that possible? I mean is it possible that it is something with the hardware?
Then my hd2 will be on ebay tomorrow
If you used all sd-cards with windows they are kinda locked by windows and you won't be able to use them with android unless you are able to reformat them to fat32.
This thread might help you sort it out.:cyclops:
Hmm they write, that WP7 locks sd-cards... but i never had a phone with windows 7
and the android of my girlfriend accepts at least one of the cards ...
And wp7 cab sender doesn't work with wm6.5 here.. I'll try the killdisc
At all WM 6.% can't read or see the sd-card either .. just magdlr can mount the sd card
Okay ! Problem solved!
It was a tiny hardware problem!
look at the attached photo...
The arrow points on a little piece of metal. In my phone it was bend towards the edge of the mainboard.
This tiny piece of metal is very important for the sd-slot ..Normally when a sd card is inside the slot, this piece gots contact to another metal piece..
So if you got a problem like me just look for this thing!

Storage card not working, Cant access WP7 HELP!

SCREEN HD2:
Storage card not working
Your storage cart has changed is
damaged or is non-compliant.
To fix this, turn off you phone and either
remove the storage card or replace it with
a new compliant card. Then you’ll need to
reset your phone to the original factory
settings.
To reset your phone, refer to the owner´s
manual.
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.
