SD Card not working on Mango Builds - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

It's been a while to install and test WP7 on my hd2 and i decided yesterday to install Mango builds. I have tested 2 builds and they are saying that my SD card is damaged and needed to be changed. My SD card is fine though [Kingston 16gb class 4] and i've tested it a while back and it worked just fine with NODO builds..
Is there a problem with Mango? Just asking because i can't see a solution to this and if you search the forum there is only one unanswered question.
The only solution is to use another card?
I 've tested a Chinese 8gb class 4 card a while back and it worked flawlessly. Maybe this is the answer! Buy Chinese cards!

SD didn't work SDHC works

Hi,
I have some problems with my Uni.. Two days ago I remove SD card from SD slot as usual to copy some things on it and when I inserted SD card back it doesn't appear in system as usual.. From this time my 4 GB and 1 GB SD cards didn't work.. When I tried friends SDHC card and switch to the SDHC cards in menu it works.. I tried to disassamble it, but there is everything OK I think.. I tried to reflash my Uni and the same situation is on WM5 and Tomal 7.7 and 8.0.. If someone have some idea please share it in thread..
Regards V3S

SDcard problem

Hello. I have a problem regarding my vizibility of the sd card on the device. I used to manage it on HTC touch HD, and now, I want to use it on Diamond 2. But it is not recognized by Diamond 2. I've format it quick, low (longer), fat, fat32, ntfs, but without succes. I've installed 3 different ROM's, but still nothing. On the PC is working without any problems. It is an 4GB microSD HC card
you mean your TD2 can't even detect the microSD when you go to File Explorer?
yes. i cannot see at all the microsd on my device. only on the PC.
and i've tried also 2 different microSD cards: 1gb, and 2gb (Nokia this one) and is working with those one. I've tried my microSD card on a Nokia and htc p3300 and is working.

I presume the roms were not loaded via the microSD, then? Do you see the microSD cards via ActiveSync?
nop, not at all. I cannot see the microSD in any other way (not even microsoft active center - Windows 7). But, those 2 microSD (1, 2gb) i can see. And yes, i didn't install the ROM from the microSD.
solve it by replacing it with a 2gb sd card.
the memory card is not me out with the official wm 6.5 ROM
what can I do to boot the card??
ah no problem of card because started the card with the adapter to the PC and read it perfectly.
I have D2 and the card is the Kingston with 4Gb....
I can help my problem??
Hello,
My problem is solve, I changed the card....
At last I found people with the same BIG problem of mine!!! I NEVER succeded in using ANY (nor cooked nor official) WM6.5 version and I am getting quite desperate So, it appears that 4GB Kingston SD is not "WM6.5 compatible"..I tried also Sandisk 2GB SD with the same miserable result...Lucky me!!
If it solves the issue, I am prone to buy a new SD card, but how does it have to be to work correctly?? what specs,what size is supported, is there a recommended brand?
My forum search led me to a closed thread and here, is this the only "SD and WM6.5 problem" related thread?

Strange, because I have the same memory cards, Kingston 4 GB, and I never had any problems. Currently I have WM6.5 official and works well.
You tried to format it?

Thanks for feedback!! Yes I formatted it in all possible ways, with PC adapter and within the device . As I feared, there is not a general rule to determine wether a SD card will work with WM6.5 or not and I am not rich enough to buy SD cards until one woks
I've heard it has something to do with the country in which the card was made. China was OK and Korea wasn't, or somthing like that. Don't really know whether that's correct though.
thanks, going to check that, ANY SUGGESTION IS WELCOME !!
What is the class of your memory card? Mine is class 4
I think it's a class 4, but if you tell me how to be sure I'll check better. Maybe using a diagnostics software?
EDIT:I just took the SD card out, I can read "SDC4/4GB"...maybe C4 stands for category 4..Again, help much appreciated!
From Topaz I don't know if you can see the class. It is in the packaging.
what's your actual ROM?
ITA WM 6.5 Original
ah ok, already tried that without success..and that was when I got disppointed the most

16G Micro SD

Just bought a 16GB Micro SD Card, it is not recognised by HD (saying not installed, my old 8GB card is working fine), but the card is working very well in the other phone (LG) and my digital camera.
Any professor could help? Thanks
Just a wild guess that it's an SD-HC card. Certain types of cards will be recognised after some registry tweaks.
*Which ROM are you using? - These tweaks may or may not already be applied
*Does your computer recognise the card? - Could be a faulty card
*Have you run the Card Format utility from within the phone? - All cards need to be formatted first
As always remember to search the forum. And PLEASE do not double-post. You will be lucky if anyone replies to either this thread or the same thread in the accessories forum.
Thank you.
I bought the 2nd class 6 16GB card which is working well. The 1st one is going to be used in my digital camera.

[Q] Microsd card not being recognised.

The 8gb card that came with my Desire HD works perfectly as you expect. But i wanted to upgrade so i bought a class 4 Kingston 16gb microsd card.
So i unmount the card, take it out, then put the new one in... and when i go to storage management it has unknown for everything. When i take the card out the OS says "Card removed, insert new one", i put the old one in and it works perfectly.
I then reformatted with windows and made it 16kb fat32 and the exact same thing happens.
The card works perfectly on the computer and is not an ebay fake.
Any suggestions?
Edit- i just loaded up CWM and it easily saw my sd card. So i dont know whats going on there. I partitioned it using CWM and now am installing a different rom and hopefully the problem will be fixed without me even knowing what the issue was.
Still any suggestions will be appreciated.

Most of the steps you took, make sense to me, but I am not an expert on this.
One question, can you let all of us know what the result was, after you flashed a different ROM? Might help someone with similar issues.

32GB Transcend card not recognised

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.
