SD 512M SanDisk
after i copied files into the sd card and inserted it into the MDA and, turned it on, my MDA could not get the newer files and still showed the old ones...
but after i soft reset the machine, thing's solved. could anybody tell me why? and is there any solution that i don't have to soft reset my MDA and just click 'reload' button or even i don't have to reload and news files will be shown automatically?
Thanks~
by the way, the sender of SMS could not be shown in my MDA even after i installed a patch called SMS Fix...why?
oops~
i got another question. after i use MDict and choose Exit, my MDA is dead...i could do nothing to activate it unless i soft reset...
the version of MDict is 2.0...any patch or any solution? a newer version will work well?
thanks~

Gang,
I've recently acquired at AT&T Branded SX56, been moderately happy, but can not complain about the price ($100 . However, twice now I've had the SD card get completely wiped. This is the SD card that came with the phone - it used to have some nice games and the MS software pack. It went bye-bye about two weeks ago. I thought it was a glitch, however, last night the card went blank on me again. All software, data, etc on the card is completely gone.
My question are: has anyone had this problem? Is this a known thing with the phone? Do I have a virus? Am I a blithering idiot that did something stupid (likely)? How do I keep this from happening again?
TIA
it's a known issue with some WM2003 versions ... what's yours ?
Try to keep the SD locked
that's $#%*#
my phone is wm2003, I guess I have to go get an SD card with a lock on it. The one that came with the phone does not. Any way to do a software "r/o" mode?
tia
one more thing
if it's a know problem with certain versions of wm2003 - what version should I get and install to keep this from happening?
tia
Nothing 100% confirmed but TMO 4.01.00 or AT&T 30.09 are said to be more stable
i have a similar proble; the unit didn't recognize the card once it was removed.
Does anyone have the files and can post so i can write on the sd?
Hello,
The same thing happened to me last week on my T-Mo MDA2 (Rom Version: 1.60.00WWE, ROM date: 12/03/03) but in my case I'm using a 128MB MMC with no hardware lock.
Any suggestions aside of using a lock enabled SD Card? (which I think it's dumb since I need to be constantly writing to the card)... :roll:

Rayan
I used Kingston 512M SD card with ca. 200 M of MP3 files.
After removing of PocketMusic from MDA these files become invisible in Explorer as from desktop as and from mobile, despite new MP3s added to this card, were assigned to Windows Media.
Then I used SoftWinter StorageTools to format SD as FAT32/512Kps. Since formatting SD works well and I haven't any file lost.
May be this problem appears due to adding or removing some programs, associated with such files?
The weird thing is that some people report missing the files in the card but they know the files are still there because the memory space they used to take is still there, and others (my case) the card got totally wiped releasing all the memory space just as if it was just formated. :shock:
The only thing I can think of, in my case is that since the card was formated by a Palm Tungsten T2 (I could tell that because a friend lend it to me and he has a Palm and also I could see some Palm directories in the card) and I didn't formated before I used it on my MDA2. Do you think this may have caused the problem?
Thanks!
To solve this annoying problem do either(or both ) of the foillowing
1) Change the today theme to windows default (hard to believe i know but it works)
2) Using Storage Tools format the SD card to fat 32, with Backup Fat option ENABLED (you can change the theme back if you want after this)
I know its odd but i havent had this problem since then
SD Card problem

The same happened to a friend of mine.
I suggest you to try Pocket Mechanic from http://www.antontomov.com, with this software you can format, verify and repair your storage cards. We did this and the card worked successfully after a Low Level Format and then a Logical Format.
Good Luck!
Hi
I recently upgraded my XDAII to Sin's magic new merged ROM and am really happy with it (thanks Sin!). The only problem is that now my SD slot appears to not work. I have tried to search the forum for an answer but have had no luck.
Symptoms of the problem:
When I insert the card when the phone is on but the backlight has turned off, the backlight comes on again, so it must be recognising the fact that the card has been insterted. But I don't see it either in explorer, or in the Memory control applet.
I have tried a couple of cards, and have even reformatted them using a card reader, but still no joy.
Am I being dumb? Hope someone can help.
Cheers
Donk
Hi, should have mentioned that I am running WM2003SE. Hope someone can help.

Have you considered reflashing the Rom again? Maybe the unit went through a flashing error?
This morning I received my new 2Gb miniSD card for my new Wizard.
I copied everything across from my old 1Gb SD card that was in my Blue Angel after formatting the miniSD to FAT32.
When I insert the miniSD into the Wizard the TomTom install screen pops up for a couple of seconds with the rotaing windows square thingy in the middle of the screen, then stops.
The same happens if I click Start in my Storage Card folder, or autorun in the 2577 folder on the storage card.
Anyone any idea why it isn't installing?
Its a legit version of TomTom btw, and runs perfectly on my Blue Angel (even if I put the miniSD into the adapter and insert into the Blue Angel it works fine!).
-FM
Sounds like it may have a missing file or something. I installed mine via miniSD card as well without any problems. Maybe when you reformatted the card something got erased or something...
Does anyone know the max size card this phone will handle? I would really like to use a 4GB mini in it if possible!
Thanks

Hmm, if there's a file missing how come it works on my Blue Angel no problem?
-FM
you have to run cab files in the 2577... It should work now...
It may be because you already had the app installed on your blue angel (if I read your post correctly).
I don't believe any actual 4GB minisd cards exist. I remember reading about a couple of HoFo people ordering them from Ebay & getting burned.
Installing from the cab files worked...
but a few hours later the Wizard hung up completely and wouldn't boot (stuck on the Windows Mobile screen for hours!), so I ended up doing a hard reset.
After this I downloaded the 5.21 installer from the TomTom website and installed that - job done! That installed perfectly from my PC, and my standard GB mapped no problem.... just got to iron out a couple of other issues (see my other posts re TomTom) and then I'll try to activate my other maps and traffic services on the Wizard...
Cheers,

I have Qtek 9100 and TomTom 5.0. I had to install manyally the cabs and then copy the voices to the device to make it work. I guess 5.0 just wasn't officially compatible. 5.21 is, so that should work just fine. I also upgraded to 5.21 after manual install 5.0. Both versions are working ok for me.
hello,
this evening i put my phone on standby and when i tryed to turn it on again the screen wouldn't work, so i soft resetted my phone and it started up fine, BUT then i got a couple of errors because my phone couldn't find some program files from my storage card, so i used file explorer to check and it turns out i can't see my storage card anymore, i tryed to soft reset it etc. but nothing worked, i plugged the card into my cardreader and my computer doesn't show the card either, so i think something is wrong.
is anyone familiar with this problem or has anyone got a solution for me?
thanks alot in advance!
Greetings Richard

i think i had the same problem try to format the card on a digital camera and if you have a canon digital camera it should have the option to low level format if not look for a app that does low level format and if after this it still does not work try to see if the card still has warranty and send it to get it replaced.

ok i'll go try right away, yeh the card still has warranty and this is the 2nd time this happened to me (1st time i already got a new card, lol!)
well, the camera says it has to be formatted, but when i try to, it fails, so i guess my card is screwed, again...
well i'll go to the shop in a few mins and hope they'll give me another one again
ok, today i got my new card (unfortunately i hadn't backed my last one up ) and i'm busy installing it again.
but what i was wondering is, why does this problem occur?
What brand of card do you have?

Ok, got tired of waiting for the VZ upgrade and decided to go the DCD route.
I am using scrawnyb's upgrade guide and got the Hard SPL 2.40 Bootloader on my Verizon 6800 with no problem (I did get stuck on the bootloader screen but fixed that with the exit bootloader program). Now the questions that will hopefully allow me to finish:
1. According to Scrawnyb, you load the radio first. I downloaded 3.42.30 and extracted it and it extracts as a .nbh file extension, not an executable. So, how do you execute it? I tried clicking on it, changing the extension to a .exe, but it still won't load on the phone while in bootloader.
2. Do I need to load the DCD 3.2.5 first and then the radio?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Les
XV6800 Stock (trying to go to DCD 3.2.5 and Radio 3.42.30)
Upgrade
The easiest thing to do is rename the .nbh TITAIMG.nbh and put it on the root of a sd micro card and enter the bootloader by doing a hard reset and allowing the update to run, then get the dcd kitchen or rom and follow the instructions on the download thread. There is a great wiki at the beginning of this site.
Good Luck and Enjoy like the rest of us!
Don't forget to thank all of the great people bringing us these great ROM's
There is also an executable version of the radio somewhere. That is what I used to flash to the latest radio version. I dont remember where I got it - it was either from this site or another site.
I then wanted to go to an earlier radio version and had to use the SD method. Overall, the SD method is pretty easy, once you get the card formatted correctly, which can be tricky.
Thanks for the tips. Now, I seem to have a new problem. Again, the only change I have made to the phone is install Hard SPL 2.40. I still have the stock rom, etc. Now though, when I hit the power button to turn off the display and go into sleep mode, it completely cuts the power and I have to do a soft reset. Anyone know whats up with that?
Jeez, maybe waiting for the damn VZ update wouldn't be so bad after all :-(
Thanks,
Les
Well, just learned something that might be of value to others. As above, sleep mode was not working when pushing the power button if the phone was on - I was having to do a soft reset to turn the phone back on. Again, keep in mind that I had not flashed a new radio or rom yet, only loaded Hard SPL 2.40. Figuring I had a bad button and anticipating taking it back to VZ, I downgraded the Bootloader and relocked the phone using Titan Relocker as per the Wiki. Now the bootloader is V-1.06 and guess what? After a hard reset and reprograming, etc. - the power button is acting as it should.
Well, thats enough for tonight, might try again tomorrow but going to have to find the radio in a .exe format first. Otherwise, I guess I will have to try the SD card route.
Thanks,
Les
I had the exact same problem, flashed the bootloader and then had to go to an auction, phone worked great until it either fell asleep or I put it to sleep, then it wouldn't come back until I reset.
This apparently is just a common issue for those who have started the upgrade but didn't complete it.
I also had the issue with formatting the memory card, my laptop has a SD card slot on it, but it uses some weird software driver that makes the drive letter disappear when the card isn't inserted, and this prevented it from formatting it correctly. I then tried a USB adapter that turns any SD card into a pen drive, it also wouldn't work, so I broke down and bought a cheap mem card reader from walmart for $20 and it works perfect. And has a SIM card reader on it to boot, tho I don't own a phone with a SIM card, but if I ever do, I'm all set

Had the same problem with my dell laptop built-in SD reader (I have a thread about this). Had to whip out my sandisk card reader which ended up working flawlessly.
Seems like the built-in ones just dont do it properly.
