I bought my XDA I used about 6 months ago and continue to get a message everytime I power it up. The error is Unrecognized Card - Enter the name of the device driver for this card. For information, see the card manufacturer's documentation - Unknown card in Socket 1.
This message has been around with the original rom and continues with a Yorch cooked 400.16 ENG rom.
This message does not occur if there is a SD card in the slot (borrowed one to test). As I am trying to save up some spare change to buy a 512 MB card, it will be a few more weeks till I get the SD card. In the meantime, is there a way to get rid of this message (short of using an SD card?)
unchecked the "receive all incoming IR signals"
The slot in the T-Mo phone is read-only, meaning it can not use anything except a SD card to read data. Sometimes if you have a device card (like a camera) the device might be loading a driver during the boot.
I had this problem at one time it was trying to load a keyboard driver (weather the keyboard was present or not), my fix was too unchecked the "receive all incoming IR signals" in the communications folder.
Good Luck
what make is your SD card? could be a compatability problem :\ my dads ipaq 3870 gets it sometimes with a PQI compact flash card but works fine with sandisk. works fine with the pqi too just sometimes it comes up for no reason? but the pqi is 24x faster at reading/writing that why he likes to use that one

and it goes away when he puts in a sd card
oh :\ has get got some sort of thing stuck inside the sd port? liek the sheild bend and touching the prongs?
Hi,
I would like to format my micro SD card, but I don't know how to.
I know that there is an option that says " clear storage" but it is for internal storage only ? or can format as well the sd card?
I haven't any card reader on my pc, so I have no idea about how to do it from Hermes itself. .

Keep your micro sd in card reader , you can format it only from pc.(buy one card reader)
if you want format micro sd from device , you need a 3d part application , but from pc is better.

The resco explorer, has a format storage card utility
I have done it already, and works fine.
pocket mechanic works well, also finds errors, cleans up, makes coffee etc
If you're on XP, just right go into disc management, find the card, right click, and choose format...likely a similar method on Vista, but I haven't used it.
No third party tools needed, etc.
Edit, oops my bad, I misread that you didn't have a card reader for the pc.
Another vote for Resco explorer btw, I couldn't live without it.
Well, I got 4GB Micro SD. Formatting (FAT32) done through PC but never been possible through Artemis by any of the softwares mentioned here. The SD works fine under windows, but I gatta take it out in every new ROM or Radio flashing. Is there any way to make it being seen by Artemis DOS system?
Thanks

Delete the folder "MSMETADATA" on your storage card and do a soft reset and that should work
Unless of course the sd card has failed... I had one or two do that... All you have, if the pc won't recognise to format, is a lump of plastic.... You'll have to get a new one...
phone no longer recognizes sdhc card
Okay, guys I flashed my hermes this morning with this
http://rapidshare.com/files/2179382...1.255.1_102_6275_1.38.00.10_108_Ship.exe.html and now it no longer recognizes any of my micro sd nor my micro sdhc cards. They come up on the computer but not on the device. I even installed the sdhc.777 cab and it still doesn't work. Help please...
refuse2bstopped, try a different os... If that doesn't work you may have a broken or misaligned pin in your usb reader on the Hermes. It may also just be dirty or have some corrosion on it. If you want to clean it use a cotton bud and some isopropyl alcohol (surgical spirits). DON'T USE METHYLATED SPIRITS... It leaves a residue.
Cheers...
sir...
im just wondering if my mini sd is busted and it has no use anymore..
why can my camera still recognize that there is still a memory card installed in to my unit that its even asking me to either save the picture's towards my unit or mmc
im just wondering if it can still be recognized by my unit can i still fix it/format it so that i could use it again...??
i know your the expert on this that's why i thought of asking you this..
thanks for reading my msg'
I like to look at things step by step
1. SD card isn't recognised by Hermes - not even detected...
2. Camera detects it - did you try taking a few pictures and seeing if it actually wrote them to the card? I had a phone that registered the card but kept throwing up "sd card corrupt" every time I tried to use it.
3. Does a PC recognise the sd card when inserted into a card reader? If you don't have 1 I'd make this a priority to get, a friend of mine bought one off ebay for $5 AUD including postage...
If the pc recognises it maybe you should reformat it fat32. remember to backup any data first...
4. If the pc and camera have no problem then I'd start suspecting the Hermes... I have two sd cards so I have no problems testing but you may need to either get a smaller card - I use a 512 for flashing the os, or find someone who can lend you theirs to test. If the 2nd card reads then either the card is bung or the Hermes has a problem with it (incompatibility has been known to happen). Clean the card reader as best you can with isopropyl alcohol and a piece of cloth. There may be some type of corrosion or dust on the sd card reader contacts.
These are the steps I have taken to work out if the sd card or Hermes is a fault. Generally I find its the card (happened once to me and once to a friend).
Hope this helps...
Cheers...
Been through this. Very recently, actually. Like, last night.
I don't have a microSD reader and I found myself needing to reformat my microSD in my Hermes to FAT32. I was trying to do SD flashes. Long story.
Anyway, know what I did? I used WM5torage. As long as your ROM is functional and your SD card isn't wasted, activate WM5torage and have WinXP format your "USB Mass Storage Device" for you through My Computer. It only affects the SD card.
I mean, it worked for me.
sd 2gb
i have i sd 2gb card, my pc can see it and use it but only on fat format. i cant format fat32, i get an error(not able to complete). i cant see or use it at all on my phone. (the only selection i have to format (on my pc) is fat,fat32, default unit size)
please help, so i can use the card on my pc and phone
edit:i have searched and the only thing i saw was prog. to format sd, that prog let my pc to see the card, but lost the ability to see it in my phone. (sorry i dont remember what the prog was)
A very good (shareware) 3rd party programm comes from softwinter (storage tools)
rgs
If the PC picks it up, right click on the sd card and select format. Make sure its fat32 though. Easiest thing to do... NO 3rd party apps needed...
i guess i wasnt clear enough. my pc comes up with an error "not able to compleate" when i try to format my card in fat32 (that is when it is in my pc), but i can format fat (but thats no help for me). if i put the card in my device, it doesnt see it, so if i link my device to pc, pc doesnt see the card. so still cant format via pc.
i tried 3rd party as noted, as i thought, if my device cant see it the app cant see it.
thanks for trying, but still in the same boat.
it is a new card too, im woundering if i bought a bum card and i should return it for a new.
any suggestions welcome
Reboot pc then try again... I've had this happen too and a reboot seemed to fix the problem. Just a psychotic computer problem...Sometimes pcs can be..... TROUBLE..
Cheers...
i tried that again, still doesnt work. but i did see autoplay run this time, i think that may be my prob.. 2 progs. trying 2 run on the same source at the same time. now trying to find a way 2 shut it off (like i really need it anyway)
After the gingerbread update, the phone will not see that any sd card is installed (it did prior to the update). I've tried 2 different cards, mess with connection, press down the metal housing. Need some help please, thanks.

Have you tried Settings > Storage > Mount SD Card?

does your computer recognizes it?
Well, the mount sd card is grey'd out, not selectable. Both cards can be accessed by the computer.
After 2.3.4 Update - SD Card Problem
Same here,
Had 2.2.2 and flashed the official 2.3.4 sbf and memory card is not recognized now.
Tried different cards as well and nothing. Mount and Format are grayed out.
Flashed it with SD and Sim out... If that might make a difference.
Maybe I should try flashing with the sd in?
Any suggestions?
I figured it out
Connect the phone (Mass Storage) with the SD in via USB and check if 2 partitions are recognized on the PC 1st (internal) and 2nd (SD-not accessible).
While connected to the PC take the cover off atrix and remove SD and slide it back it, if it doesn't see it instantly try again. The phone should say that it has detected the card. You might have to format it if it's not FAT32
No need to flash it again.
Hope this helps
Cheers
This is what worked for me
I had the same issue, and could not find the fix anywhere. I tried every fix I found in any posts. But nothing worked. I could not format or mount my SD Card.
Then, I noticed the "internal sd storage" said "not available"...
... I thought hmmmmmm... so I formatted it.
And after that, I could format the External SD Card and mount it...
Hope this helps somebody else.
Apparently, if it fails to mount the internal storage, it will fail to mount the external as well...
Cheers!
Hey. I bought a new _cheap_ SDHC card online, 32gb... When I put it in my phone, the phone gets pretty slow while there's a notification saying "Preparing SD card" "Checking for errors."
Now it stays there for a long while and the phone gets very hot... Is the card defect or is there something that can be done?
Have a look for H2testw
Well the problem is that i can't mount the card since i don't have a card reader...
Please forgive me for not being psychic, you didn't say that originally.
No need to be hostile man.
Anyways, i let my phone run for a few hours, still nothing...
Does anyone have any idea? The phone IS rooted, so that might have something to do with it, gonna try to unroot it today to see if that makes any difference.
this happened to once, I bought a 32 GB from amazon and it was cheap. It was a disaster, all my data I stored in it was erased spontaneously. I returned it and had a refund. My guess, the sd_card is inferior
y don u get a cardreader an check for eerors or format an c....or u can set usb debugging and do tht if dont hav card reader...some use 64gb card wiv no prblm..
You don't need a card reader to check for errors if you don't have one. Just plug your phone with the card in it into a computer and search for your card in windows explorer and check for errors there. You can also format it from there also.
I managed to check it on a card reader today, windows does recognize something is going but doesn't allow me to format it or do anything except change the drive letter basically... When i check it through computer -> manage -> disk management it shows it as a MBR? Why is that and any way to go around it?
Oh and i can't access the card while it's in my phone at all, it just keeps looking for errors and doesn't mount it?
preparing SD Card and checking for errors
I am also having the same problem, My sd card always shows the message Preparing sd card and checking for errors in galaxy fit and I have formatted it in my pc and then tried all the other methods like deleting the msdos file from system/bin etc but still the problem persists. would there be any problem with my phone of sd card slot kindly reply
Hi guys im having a bit of drama with my sd card and my samsung galaxy tab a 10.1 running android 7.0 unrooted
I first noticed this yesterday as utorrent kept throwing me an error during my download, when i selected the sd card as the download location i noticed it said app data then once i changed the location to internal app data things worked fine.
I tried to delete the failed download but a little error message came up unable to delete so i formated my sd card and it asked for me to select a file to allow write function, i moved my downloads over to the sd card then continued with another download. utorrent has again failed halfway through then upon looking it has actually wiped my sd card completely nothing shows up but apparently i have used 2.8gb but theres no files.
ive been looking around and ive been seeing bits about sd write function being removed after kitkat but i cant seem to find anything about my sd card being wiped or why i cant delete files. Please could someone help me understand whats what or point me in the direction of a thread that explains all this.
thanks in advance

E.g. SanDisk forces some of their usb pen drives into a permanent read-only state when the pen drive detects that it is damaged. Once this happens, this cannot be undone. It is a mechanism to try to save the data. Perhaps your sd card is damaged and something similiar occured? It sounds like a broken/damaged sd card. If you don't need the data on the sd card, you may try to format the sd card with your pc and then again format it with your mobile device. If this fails, it is likely that the sd card is damaged.

Thanks for the reply but tbh ive been really busy getting bits sorted for my holiday i forgot to update my post, turns out its the sd reader in the tablet at fault which is a bit annoying as its the 1st time ive used it in the 8 months ive owned the tablet. Its the 2nd fault to develop with the tablet 1st fault was unresponsive touch screen tight out the box that was repaired now i need to wait until i return from my holiday to have the reader fixed, luckily an OTG and sd reader works like a charm.
