hi,
i have a t mobile ppc edition.i have a 512 mb sd card,and when i install programs on my sd card after 2-3 days all the programs are erased and it keeps happening.can anyone help me pls?
there is a problem with sd/mmc and multiple inserts/removals. Its a bug of WM200X and there is no fix for it. I unlock my sd card only when I need to change the data on it. Otherwise my card stays locked. Do a search on this forum for "Multiple SD" and "SD Erase". Good luck!

SO this bug is only WM2003/WM2003SE, no PPC2002?

This bug only on wallaby's (XDA 1) running "WM2003 " it doesn't happen on WM2002.
I have an XDA 1 running 2002, and the SD card wipe problem also seem to happen to me.
I have an O2 Rom version 4.01.12 Eng.
According to this page: http://www.kbalertz.com/kb_843287.aspx
the problem might be related when two or more programs try to access the same files, so the data becomes corrupted and apparently being wiped...
Anyone have a solution or a suggestion?
I tried to follow this thread for a fix (Rune quoting spadb): http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=7230&highlight=sd+files
I can find in the registry a reference to a SD.DLL, but can't find it under file explorer, even when displaying hidden items.
Maybe one of you other XDA1\Wallaby users can find it in your device?

Not searcherd for it on the device. But in the basic ROM its in there...
Should be located directly in the windows folder. i think you have to enable your device to see all files. Normaly dll's are hidden...
HTH
Stefan
I've enabled my device to see hidden files...
Can you upload and attach that DLL please?
I'd like to try to tweak the registry a bit :wink:

Can anyone else confirm this? :roll: i really dont like PPC2002 but i dont want a wipeout again...
I'm afraid I can't confirm that, I tried to format many times as FAT32 or FAT16 and I experience the same problems as before...
Try this patch, it worked with me 100% on my Wallaby device with no SD erasings since more than 3 months 8)
Use any registry program (Resco Explorer 2003 is great) to install the registry keys or enter it manually..
Don't worry, the patch is non-destructive at all !
( you can do a backup before running this patch if you wish :wink: )
i saw stefan has a much longer version of this. does anyone have any experience with either file? BTW should i even do this if i have never had the problem before?
cheers
Similar problem on XDA II
I have noticed a similar disease on my Qtek 2020 (XDAII):
When I run it with an SDCard 512 Mb there is no problem at all, goes perfect, but as soon as I put in a brand new 1 GB SD card it crashes within a day or two. And it is irreparable... I've sent back one card to the supplier, but now on my second try with a new card and after reading in this topic I begin to felle a bit coldsweating... :x
Anyone else who has specific experince of this on XDAII?
Yup. went to use navigator today and found my SD card was nor showing. Tried it in a digicam at work which crashed the cam.
In my card reader here format shows as RAW and am having a help of a job getting it reformatted.
I use the XDA II
I also face similar problem, what i used to do is just take my sd card out and re-insert
and it worked for me
removing and replacing the card has no effect for me.
can anyone help with formatting an SD card (1GB viking) that is "unreadable" in a card reader and in RAW format??
pretty please?!??

As my xda has been working perfectly for the past couple of months I've decided to knacker it for a while and try to load ppc 2003. Trying to use wallaby 5.14 to write ROM from xda to sd card it all goes well untill I put the card into my pc, it seems to think the sd card is blank and needs formatting, back in the xda its the same thing, as if wallaby is formatting it. Now I could just stop mucking around and wait for the proper 2003 version... nope, too simple. Anyone got any clues?
i hope you did not try top open your sd car with the windows explorer ?
you have to use a specific software to read oyur SDcar as explained her on the site in the rom image tool secion.
only XDArit will ba albe to read and writ a rom on the sdcard.
No, I used XDArit, it says card needs formatting.

Hi everyone,
I have a Siemens SX 56 (North American version) running the latest ATT WM 2003 official rom. I have the latest T-mo Radio Stack on it (6.24).
I bought a new Lexar 256 Mb SD card (32x write speed). I saved a whole bunch of mp3'z and stuff on it. The SD card works fine for some time, but then the phone seems to erase all data on it every once in a while! I searched the forums and someone suggested using "storage tools" program and formatting the card with "backup FAT" method.... I have done that too.... It has erased all data on my SD card twice after that as well..... Someone else suggested that you should exit all applications that open on the SD card (or are using the SD card) before you turn it off. I do that too. Even then I have lost all data.
My question is what can I do to correct this? Is the Lexar card the problem? Should I try Sandisk? Sandisk is actually a bit cheaper too..... I can exchange the card for that. Kindly reply quickly and let me know what I can do to fix this issue. Thank you.
Just had it happen to me on my SX56 using WM2003 Beta and a SanDisk 512mb card. Lost everything. Thought it might be the card but now I'm wondering...
Gonna try and replicate the problem.

some time ago I had similar problems with Lexar faulty card, but that seemed to be somewhere explained in that forum that ultimately it has been not card problem but .... wm2003, hehe :lol:
I know it sounds strange ..... if I can manage I point you to the right postings .....
regards, monika
ps. I have solved termorarily my problem by simply locking SD card :wink: and then after changing Lexar for Sandisk problems stopped
Bpd, there is a hisory of spontaneous formatting of memory cards ever since WM2003 came out, it wasnt just confined to XDA either, I saw a few posts in other pocket pc forums with the same problem, some people put it down to installed themes.

Use the little white switch on the side of the card to lock it!
Also its been reported that if you label the card after formating it you wouldn't have this problem. Personally I'd do both! :wink:
BTW whats the time frame on the erase after you did the upgrade?
HTH
Problem occured same day as upgrade... and now last night again.
Fortunately I made a backup of everything on the SD to my PC and have now just restored it.
I did not "label" the SD this time... just "locked" it.
See what happens this time.
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:
Regards,
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

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!
the memory card is SD 2GB when i put in ppc work and when i remve it and put it again doesn't work until i restart my ppc twice
any body can help me please
note:this thing happen in all roms
1. always stop programs from SD card before unplug,
2. always power off before unplug SD card,
3. what to do now?
3.1 apparently, your SD card is not healthy, let computer fixes it.
3.2 in PC, right click the SD card drive, select property, go to tool tab, look for option to scan disk, don't forget to select the 2 options (detect repair auto),
3.3 if PC restarts needed, Just Do It1!
4. if SD card really fixed, there should be a new folder created @ the root (SD, named likely found.000 or else), never touch it even much SD ram was being consumed.
Good Luck and use your card correctly.

but nothing happened i do what you said but the problem still in my device
please help me if you have the answer
thanks to you
long time ago, I've had this problem too, but with my 4gb, hard resets, soft resets, nothing helped, the solution was to formate the card, and flash the phone with NVID RUU, that helped me so you can try it and I hope It will help

1. fLASH other rom, try again,
2. Format SD card and try again.
thanks for your help
thanks for your help
but , can you help me with NVID RUU i don't know any thing about it
so if you can help i will be thanks to you
you have to download this nvidRUU
Its simple, like flashing wm6> then you will have default wm5, backup your data from SD and then formate her ;-) then just flash up to your favourite wm and its done ;-) so I dont know if this will help you, but it has solved my (same) problem with 4gb ;-) I hope it will be oK good luck
thanks for your attention
thanks for your help
i will try it and tell you what happen
thanks
thanks alot
it's still happen on my device but with different way
i should switch off my pda and switch on to make it work
Maybe dirty contacts in the prophet.
Try cleaning contacts with compressed air.

do as I said
I'm having the same problem. It works well the first time it boots, but then when I try to boot again it shows that message. I've already reformated my SD card about 6 times in as many ways and still no fix :/
same problem here. not sure what is going on. It happened after the first reboot from Android back into WinMo
I had the same issue. found this in the thread for shubCRAFT, in the first post.
"If you get unable to mount sdcard plz replace set cmdline "rel_path=Android" with set cmdline "rel_path=Android loop_partition=mmcblk0" in startup.txt"
Also if you run Froyo.. DO NOT delete the Android folder from the root of your SD card.. thats where you are supposed to put things.. 2.1 or sense.. i do not know about that, don't use them.
I had the same problem a few days ago and could never figure it out. but i started deleting folders on my sd card such as .footprints and the android folder and the .lost files folder and rebooted the phone and it loaded the card. I am thinking it has something to do with the folders or something loaded in it. for me it will restart android while in stand by and then it will try to load android and cant mount sd card. has been annoying until i started deleting folders and it worked. figure i would share my experience.
yeah im having this same problem...with almost every rom
atfirst the darkstone series worked but now it doesnt
i have reformatted my sd card alot now and am trying again
someone figured a way out?
the only trick that works with me
Hi,
same story; formatting the SD with different tools does not solve the problem, at least with me.
Occasionally I have this recurring problem (but I believe is something related to the kernel) and the only solution always working with me is to:
- remove the android folder
cheers

Hello,
I am having the same problem too. Fact is that sometimes Sense crashes when I go back to WM after my first boot on Android. When I try to boot back on Android I get the same message. I have used the Darkstone build and running dutty's creme ROM.
I have also tried on another SD card, same problem.
i've had exactly the same problem. deleting the "android"-folder did a perfect job

Found Solution
I had the same problem and formatted my cards through windows several times and tried several Android program still no success.
Then on one of the websites they recommend to use this SD card formatter that complies with SD card standards and now can boot Android without any problems on my HD2.
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/
Please let me know if it works for you.
That didn't work for me but thanks for tip.
this only happens to me when using a 16gb class 2 card. what are you all using?
8g class6, deleting the "android" folder is the "best" solution for me...
Hi! I have the same problem on my HTC Touch Diamond. (DIAM160) Everytime I boot HARET.EXE It starts to boot Android but it always stops when it wants to mont SD card... Iv'e tried to format SD memory but its the same problem.
