Hello all! This is my first time modding a phone, and it went pretty smoothly. I am running Android with almost no issues! Thanks to this forum I figured out my issues... my only problem now, is my phone won't connect via USB and it says the SD card is damaged. I don't know what to do about this, and I really want to get some apps downloaded, use the camera, etc. What are my steps to making this work 100%?
Thanks a ton, everyone!

Ok, so did a little experiment- the 2gb MicroSD I had laying around works flawlessly. Does Cyanogenmod7 not support a car this big? I really don't want to go back to 2gb!
Really, no one can help.
I think no uses 2g too much anymore, try 16g or 32g cards & some say even the 64g cards run on their HD2

hi, i bought my universal off ebay "brand new" for 258 GBP including postage which i reckon is a good price.
i have been using wizard so far and today i changed it for universal..the pocket pc is a real beauty..i really like it. i noticed two things which worriy me. the 1st one is : when i try to turn off the device it goes only to sleep mode but donst switch off. in wizard when i pressed turn off button it basicly turned off the device. is it normal in universal to make it sleep ? how can i really turn off my device. and the other thing is my universal dosnt detect SD card. i have got two of them one which came with my universal and the other one is the one i was using with my wizard. how can i make my universal detect them ??? (512mb and 2GB)
cheers, cudo
hey ! yeah ihave been researching a bit and i can tell with great confidence that universal dosent shut down, many pocketpc's dont.Some like your wizard are an exception. even i have a universal.
Regarding not detecting SD Card it seems odd, is it not appearing in explorer at all ? cause i've never had that problem
yes excatly it just dosnt appear in explorer.I will try to format it latter on and so how it is. is it normal I haven't got msn on my mda pro?
Hmm. this might sound like a dumb question but r u sure u're inserting it the right way ?? lol..
hehe yeah i think so and what about the MSN ...have u had it pre-installed on you universal ?
I'd be a little bit worried about it not detecting any SD cards and test it ASAP as I've not had any problems using several different ones - here's hoping it is not a hardware fault...
As far as MSN is concerned, it depends on the ROM you are using - they have different things installed and I've noticed one or two didn't include it.
Either way, using the instructions and vast wealth of knowledge on this forum, you should be able to find one that you like
all sorted at least for the moment...i am using mini sd card with adapter and after i locked it and instrted the card once again my universal detected it
can u tell me how to "activate" real VGA ? or give a thread on that ?
cheers, cudo
after a while the car is not detected again i have to take it out and put it back. thiss happens when usinng mini sd with adapter after inserting sd card everything seems to be ok....for now;
try this for true VGA and many other hacks:

Al of a sudden my qtek is slow as hell. I had PDA Viet 4003 on it, I don't have any extra app installed and the phone is basically used for tasks, appointments, contacts, listen to music on my 4gb SD card, and a solitaire game here and there. I "formated" it and installed smart1.3 again (the one I had before) and nothing seems to speed the thing up. It is slow, slow slow. Even the wm5 novendor id was slow when I was switching. And bluetooth activesync went berserk too. How come? Anyone has any advice?
help....
Maybe is your SD. If it´s not an original one, it could be that is slowering your S200.
I have experienced that with a "false" SD, my apps were slowering a lot my PPC, as it was accessing the SD to read data, but the SD was not quick enough
Sorry about my english...
It could well be the SD Card. my vendor adviced me against a 4 Gb for the prophet for the same reason and suggested a 2 Gb instead.
Pull it out and give it a try.
Ok guys I really need your help because I am running out of options. I removed the SD card, tried without it and there's no way. The only way it seem to work is by using WM5.
Am I the only one here with that problem? I flashed (almost) every one of the available ROMs with the same results: S L O W !
What could have happened? Do I have to do to use my qt s200 with a wm6 rom? Or should I just pipe down, let it go and just use WM5?
Help!
HEy guys! I have a small problem. I have a Kingston 1 GB microSD with miniSD adapter and I wanted to use it with my Wizard, but it's not working! (On my PC it works) Please help! I've tried several ROMs (thought that it's the failure of the software), but no effect. Maybe the device's slot turned dead?
you should first check if it accepts a regular MiniSD card and see. i heard about adapter compatibility issues so it might be that.. but again, check if it works with Regular miniSD... if it doesn't, it's probably a problem with your device. try a shortcircuit between the leg on the far left and the one before far right one.. (after putting it in your adapter)..
Thank you for your fast reply! I will do as you adviced and write when I got any news.
no prob.. just make sure you don't burn your card.. hope it helps.
I purchased an AT&T 8525 on Ebay a week ago and have been trying to get it working correctly. After spending a few days at work browsing the forums and wiki, I am still having a couple problems to which I am hoping someone can make a suggestion or two:
1) the microSD card is only sporadically working (pqi 2gb)
2) the USB connection to the PC is coming up as a malfunctioning device 90% of the time (disconnecting and reconnecting a few times and it will connect)
I can live without the USB connection, but I need the SD card
The phone came with a vanilla WM6 and SPL-1.40.Olipro.
I have tried the following:
tested for bad blocks with mtty (no problems)
performed a hard reset with mtty
switched ROMs to Schaps WM6 4.31 lite
banged my head against the wall
none of these have seemed to help. I thought the head banging did for awhile, but then my vision cleared.
radio : 1.54.07.00 if anyone thinks that will matter.
Thanks in advance.
Oh, and I have tried reformatting the card. I have also tried a kingston 2gb microSD. The Kingston I tried with both FAT and FAT32 formatting.
Thanks again
1st thing, upgrade your SPL to HARD SPL ver.7 found in the upgrading section. This is a must. Better than the 1.40 SPL. Old version made by olipro, upgrade to 2.10.
2nd, try changing your os. There are plenty to try out. It may be that your os doesnt support your card(?)...
3rd, some sd cards dont't seem to be liked by the hermes......Try another that is recommended ...
Hope this helps... Cheers...
Thanks for the quick reply ultramag.
I forgot to mention in my first post that I had upgraded to HardSPL7. I plan on downgrading to the shipped WM5 to test the different OS once the wiki is back up. I assume that is what you mean by trying a new OS?
At any rate, just letting you know I hadn't disappeared.
If its Hard SPLed then why not try a cooked rom. I can pretty much guarantee that it will run better without the bloat on the stock rom. Also stock roms upgrade everything(this includes the radio) and considering you might not want to do that most, if not all, cooked roms are os only. This means it gives you the flexibility to change your radio if you want or keep what you have. wm6 is better all round than wm5. It has microSDHC support (that means you can use bigger than 2gb card) which wm5 doesn't. Personally I left the stock roms behind ages ago cos the chefs out there are top notch and do a better job of getting your os to REALLY run well.Try wm6 first if you do decide to run a cooked rom as there have been issues with wm6.1, though I do like the PDAViet roms for stability and speed(notably PDAViet wm6.1 build 19900).
Just remember though to read a bit about the rom and see if it does and has what you want. There is no perfect rom and flashing does get addictive....
Cheers....
Update:
I was going to run the latest PDAviet a few days ago, but the file I DLed was corrupted, so I went with the Faria 6.1. It's wicked fast, I'm glad I did.
Unfortunately, I am still having problems with my SD card, even after buying a new one (sandisk 1gb; tiawan, which I guess is not so hot for the 8525).
I have been keeping track of when it work/doesn't work, and maybe this will help diagnose the problem.
Occasionally the SD card will connect (usually after I have shut it off for 2 hours). When it does, it runs fine if all I play on it are mp3s. I have done this for a few hours.
It seems that when I run another program, or reset the device, the card will often disconnect. This still occurs when I have everything shut off (phone, wifi, bluetooth, beam, activesync).
Since it plays mp3's fine, when I can detect it (with both brands of microSD cards), I am thinking it isn't a hardware problem and more of a software one. I'm going to go buy yet another microSD card and see if this fixes it.
Programs I'm running:
Skype
TomTom6 (have yet to get it to run though, due to the microSD issue)
Apparently I can't search a forum. There's a nice long list for microSD problems and a few fixes.

So, I'll be busy for a few days trying these out. I'll post back with what I find.
Thanks again for your help Ultramag
Dear All,
I have just got a nook color and would like to make the most out of it.
First of all, I am not a developer like many people on this site but just a linux hobbyist, but I like the idea of rooting the nook.
What do I need to get this going? A micro sd card (and which type?) and a micro sd writer to connect to my laptop (btw, I run debian testing on my box) and...once again, which kind?
I will post again once I get what is needed. My only concern is not to end up with an unusable device, but we will talk about this in due time .
Many thanks for your help.
Cheers

There are some posts scattered around, but it's usually recommended to get a Sandisk microSD card. Any class really, but Sandisk's are reported to have the best random access which is what matters. Aside from that, any supported card reader should be good as long as it's the usb kind. Some people have problems using those built-in readers some computers have.
Maybe this post can help you choose the right sd card for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12964262
From my experience and what I've read so far the best working sd cards are those Class 4 and up. Currently I'm using a Sandisk 8gb class 4 and it works perfectly. Hope that info helps you.
If you just need to root your NC, any uSD (1GB is enough) can do the job.
In that case, you need to have the CwM R, latest version should be used (3.2.0.1???)
Then searching for those ManualNooter related threads.
If you want to run CM7 ROM, there are 2 choices
a. Installing to eMMC (internal memory)
b. Booting off uSD (external card)
For b, suggest getting Sandisk brand
If you are installing to the internal memory any card will do. And don't worry about bricking it. It is basically impossible unless you mess with the boot order.

If this post helped you don't forget to say thanks!
The card I link in this post is working wonderfully for me running CM7 off microSD. It even has a microSD reader that works just fine. I'm not a nightly junkie or anything but I update every couple of weeks and have done everything from watch movies to extended periods of angry birds to actually use the nook to read books all with little to no problems.
