I am new on Android and i have tried different versions of SD ROMs but i have the same problem with all of them. when started Camera have a message that I have no SD Card and i can not make pictures. this message appear in other apps too. is there a solution or somebody can tell me good SD ROM to test?
I have search in net. Found something abouth ext2/3/4. So I have to make addition partition on SD and then Android will see it like SD storage ?

You don't have to have a ext partition to make your phone recognize your sd card.
Anyways, random issues can occur running android using the sd card method. I would recommend you to flash android in your nand. More stable, and faster

I had put wp7 on my hd2 and experience issues with it restarting over and over on its own.
I have since gone back to android and have notice they my SD only reads 200mb. Its a 16gb SD.
My question, is there a way to restore or undo the format wp7 applied to my SD? I'd rather not buy another SD lol
Any suggestions would be apreciated
I had the same problem.
I could not format in Windows XP or in Windows 7 ...
In the end I formatted in camera.
WP7 creates two partitions - one for system use the other is what you're seeing - the 200mb partition.
Theres program called SD Format nocking around on the internet that should reformat and remove the partion WP7 creates - try googling SD Format that should throw up some links to it - i beleive its freeware.
There are lots of threads and fixes about this, here is one with video:

I flashed the stock ROM then i went to start/tools/Format SD Card & formated worked for me
If you are using a NAND build of Android, you can just format it from the phone and it should recover the remaining amount of the SD card. I don't remember who I saw that posted it on here, but it worked for me when I tried it.
Hi, I recently flashed my 1st ROM, an Android rom to my HD2. I followed a guide in a recent edition of Micro Mart magazine. Everything went great & the rom is up & running, the only problem i'm having is with the SD card. I just get a notification saying 'SD card damaged'.
I've looked around on the forums & i've read numerous threads on SD card problems but I don't know which is relevant to my problem. The SD card works fine in other devices, just not on the Android rom. Im using the Cyanogen 'gpc_hd2_gingerbread_v1.7' NAND rom. Do i have to create an ext3 partition to get my SD card recognised?
Sorry for another SD card thread but this is my 1st time flash & Android rom so I really dont know about these ext partitions and how they are supposed to work!
Thanks for any advice in advance,
Tom
You might want to reformat your SD card. Get your SD card out and format it to fat32(important) using a card reader. Also make sure to backup your SD.
Try that.
Sorry I forgot to mention I tried it from a fresh format in windows, although I've read about the Panasonic formater so I could give that a go when I get home.
Yes you might want to reformat your SD card I suggest you use this software to format it. Also make sure you do a full wipe and format it using Fat 32.
One more thing is have you checked to see if your Android is mounting your SD card? When you boot your HD2 up and you see the Android lock screen appesr do you see it say preparing your SD card at the top of the screen?

Yes I remember seeing it saying preparing but then it just switches to the damaged notification. If I then select that, it brings up a box saying it may need to be formatted but selecting that doesn't seem to do anything, the damaged notification just stays there.
I've got it working. I followed the guide in this thread & it worked 1st time. Just follow it carefully and slowly

maybe contacts oxidized or a bit dirty. take out your sd-card and look at its contacts - clean contacts should shine.

Please help me!
You can't mount SD Card because Android is running off the SD card. It reads the data.img on the SD card as internal storage and doesn't detect any SD card (I think) so it won't work. Also, in future please use a proper thread title, 'Question' tells us nothing about your problem

Hmm i remember there being some sort of trick to allow one to still mount the SD card , this was on my Sprint Touch Pro 2 running Froyo , but i dont see why it wont work here . Maybe if you partition the SD card ? I cant remember exactly what it was i'll browse around over on PPCGeeks to see if i can find it

Pls help me.
I faced the same problem.
I'm using WP7.5 on NAND.
And Android 2.2 Sense on SD CARD.
Doesn't read anything from the sd card. Doesn't read my APKS etc..( I had massive data corruptions)
So i ended up removing Wp7.5 and reinstalling Android back.
SD partition of Android should be set to Primary which means you should have two Primary partition for WP7 & Andy.
you should see those in mini partition tool

Hi guys, i got a problem mounting the microsd on my hd2.
I've seen that the problem is in every rom.
Well.. every android rom tested seem to no recognize the sd... only a Gb of internal storage is founded... but if i open a file manager i can see the sd folder and navigate inside it...
I got an hd2 with android on sd and wp7 nand... and i already tested doing privilege fix... but nothing change.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
You have WP7, which uses part of your SD card as internal storage. Mount it on a computer and use a partition tool. Do you see the rest of the SD card?

OK not to cause confusion here but I think both of the above are slightly wrong. The reason you get 1GB of 'internal' storage on SD ROMs in general is because it uses a file called a data.img which is read by Android as internal storage. You will be able to use a file manager to access the SD card and you'll see all of the music etc which is on your SD card but if you try moving an app to your SD it won't work anymore.
However, I haven't used SD Android in a long time so perhaps wis or hengsheng are right
^He is correct. Internal storage is data.img, and it's usually set to 1GB of size. Your SD card has nothing to do with your internal storage when talking about SD-Android. However, I think you can download another one with a larger size, or just set it to a larger size in the boot up script.
(Either way, make a backup, because I don't think you can "enlarge" a data.img neither can you migrate apps/data from one to another.)
Hey Folks,
I'm using my HD2 in Dual Boot with WP7 and Android on extra SD Partition. I've installed WP7 on NAND Memory and all the data like Apps, Music and Pics are stored in a 10GB Partition on my SD Card. I created a second partition with the 6GB wich are left from my 16GB SD Card. There i placed some different Android SD Build Roms. They are all running fine on my HD2 and i can boot without any problems into Android SD.
My only problem is that my Android SD Build doesnt recognize any SD Storrage Card. I cant put any Pics or Music on my Android or even download something with Android. Is there a way to get the Android Partition on my SD Card as SD Storrage?
Would be prety cool to have a solution for this problem.
Thanks and Greets
