lost MicroDrive - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading

Dear All
recently, without any warnings, I lost the internal MicroDrive! I mean, it is no more detected. I am only capable of using my SD mini now.
settings > memory>pnly Storage Card (SD MINI) appears.
What can it be? Hardware failure?
What shall I do, since my athena is out of warranty and probably repairing this hard drive is even more expensive than buying a new unit.
If I launch "Format MicroDrive" I get: "The Microdrive cannot be accessed"
Will upgrade my ROM provide any help?
Details:
ROM: 2.19.707.4
Rom date: 07/06/07
rdio: 1.45.00.10
protocol: 32.78.7020
ExtROM: 2.19.707.101
Thanks a lot
Saulo866

added details
I forgot to mention hardware details:
CPU: PXA270
Speed: 624MHz
RAM: 128MB
Flash: 256MB
Thanks and waiting
Saulo

Have you tried a <hardreset> ?
take a look in the wiki to make a hardreset. please test and report ...
btw: make a backup first...

Hi
I have had the same problem and I had to replace my x7500.
But soon there will be microsdhc card with 16gb. I think this will be cheaper than buying a new device. Hans

Hard Reset?
Hallo Palmchen
Yes I did a hard reset, by using: settings > system > clear Storage...
Did I do the right thing? Or can you suggest me a different type "hard-reset" a more deep one?
Thanks and waiting
Saulo

Pull down the volume button, and while keeping it pulled down, poke your stylus into the reset hole.
Then press action button. Then follow the prompt..

after hard reset...
Thanks Eaglesteve
I have the hard reset, as per your instructions.
During the process, I was asked to Format MicroDrive...I accepted and I got NO error messages.
Now I have a clean unit.
I go to settings > system > memory and the MicroDrive is NOT there!
What shall I do more to make it "reappear"?
Thanks a lot
Saulo

could be the today plugins installed
The same happened to me.
iLauncher was installed so I tried the option to restart in safe mode that appears when you soft-reset twice in less than 1 minute. That gave access to the microdrive and I backed up everything to a folder in the pc via WM5 just in case. Then soft-reseted again and everything was fine again.

Don't hold your breath. Your MicroDrive will get f*cked up AGAIN!!!! It's as sure as death and taxes. It's a never-ending cycle of hard-resetting, recovering, reusing, getting f*cked up AGAIN!!!, hard-resetting, recovering, etc... I have given up on using the stupid MicroDrive long ago. Sending your Athena back for repair will end up with a refurbished piece of junk getting sent back to you. Do yourself a big favor, avoid the pending aggrevation, go buy an 8GB MiniSD (on sale at Fry's Electronics for around $45) and forget about the MicroDrive!!!

This is an annoying limitation and searching finds many threads and I put an entry into the wiki about this as well.
You can refind the microdrive by going to Settings/system/format microdrive and use the dropdown menu to "Recover Microdrive"
You will of course lose all your data.
I dont store any data from applications on the microdrive and recently forgot why.
I had the camera store photos on it and it crashed several times till i remembered and changed this

I don't think storage card is any better. In my case my microdrive and storage card failed twice each in 16 months. I install all my applications on my microdrive without any issue. My storage card is only for movies, videos, pictures, and musics. In that way I can have unlimited memory by just swapping the cards.

In all my laptops, it took them only 2-3 years... tops, and the first thing that had to be fixed and replaced was the hard drive. It does not matter what brand. I guess, I just don't trust them. So just go get the Micro SD card, never had any problems with all of mine. I still have my VERY FIRST 256 MB SD card, back when it was still considered as BIG already, and it still works like brand new.

Similarly I have notebook which is even more than 10 years old with harddisk still running fine. It is not always the first thing to go. In some of my computers, it is the video card that goes first. In others, it is the DVD-drive.
If you search the net, you will find many people having problem with SD cards. Such as reported here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=346301
http://www.hpcfactor.com/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=5907&posts=4
I have also twice lost everything on my SD card.
Just goes to show that you need to have a procedure to recover.
For me, if I lose my microdrive, it is not a big deal, as I have a copy of that on my PC. I simply reformat and copy the programs (My microdrive contains mainly the programs, and some selected data files) back there. I also am able to recover by the procedure below:
When I do backup, I have two schedule. One will backup to my microdrive and another will back up to my storage card. It is not likely that I encounter problem with BOTH at the same time. So, I'm ALWAYS able to recover a day or two old's data depending on which one I'm recovering from.
In addition, I have another storage card which is the backup of my microdrive. This I do occasionally as it takes quite a while to write to SD card. But if I'm going for a extended trip without any other means of recovery, I'd bring along that backup SD card.
Like I said, installing programs in microdrive allows me unlimited space as I can swap in and out storage cards without affecting the working of any programs. It is faster than the storage card too, and to me, there is no extra risk of losing files wherever you install your programs.
Bottom line is: while there is no guarantee that the drive will work all the time, there is no need to stay far away from it. With some usual backup procedures, there is really no need to worry at all.

a trick to solve the problem
Dear Friend:
If you saw my old topic in this forum i had this problem for about 6 mounth ago, finally i sent my athena X7500 to the registered service center and after 1 moth they sent it back to me with more and more physical and hardware fault and hits !( I live in IRAN )
and this problem occured again for about one mounth later,
one day I install the "Card Export 3.12" on my device and connect my device as a usb mass storage device, and i saw that my microdrive is re-appeared again! I advice you that test this way , I lost my Microdrive again and I recovered it with this trick , I think this problem is occurred because of a driver problem or somthing non-harware error like this .
do it and inform me the result, if this problem solved , please someone that is fluent in english write a letter of this problem that i can send it to HTC support to tell them do a official way for cover this problem,excuse me because of my very bad english.

Sounds like the problem comes from the microdrive driver. I think it makes sense. Wu posted long time ago that before HTC acquire dopod the microdrive in Htc athena was not as good as that of dopod u1000. May be that's why my dopod u1000 is so much problem free.

SD card problem

I have a near new XDA1 (ebay) 3.14.17 ENG Radio 4.17
When I insert the 64 meg SD card, the device resets continuously until I take the card out. The card is fine.
Any ideas? TIA

my rough guess is that might be many problems:
- broken SD card slot
- broken SD card (in that case rather not possible)
- badly managed flash to XDA (which might be the reason so's selling it over eBay)
- many other things
to eliminate most items listed above you might consider:
- trying few other SD cards
- formatting them as FAT16 elsewhere prior to putting into SD slot of XDA
- if a/m do not any good .... try flashing the unit again with newer ROM available from http://www.yorch.net/
- if that does not help .... consider checking whether SD card slot is not broken (which I do not know how) - and then possibly return to the seller from eBay
hope that helps - regards - monika

Hello!
Since the last weekend I have a MDA too...
Speaking in the terms of xda-developers it is quite virgin...
But I have the same problem:
I just tried to use a sd (128MB) and a mm (256MB) card.
The sd card makes my device reseting all the time and the other tells me about a not known device... I have to enter a name.
But it won't recognize the chips...
Why? Could it be, that they are formatted by a pocket pc with WM2003? Mine is still using the original 2002.
Thanx for help, because I want to use the cardslot and I have to buy a card, so I want to be sure which or if it is a defect of the slot to let it be repaired...
Greetz,
Marcel

Is this any easy fix or is it too far gone to fix?

Hi there, I've recently bought an XDA / Wallaby originally locked to O2 and thanks to your software on the site I've now got it running on my Orange payg with full web access in under 2 hours of ownership - Wonderful! Big improvement over my Psion Revo .
Since getting this, my wife's now decided she loves the xda also so I'm looking for a second one for her.
My question is this; I've now found one listed on ebay quite local to me (so I can see it's as described before paying) but it has the following apparent problem, quoted verbatim:-
'I recently tried to upgrade the OS on it which resulted in me deleting the ROM Image so the OS/Rom needs to be re-installed. I would take the time to do this myself but do not have the time, and I have just got myself a P900 so am looking to use that. The software can be easily re-installed and is freely available. I have moved to the P900 purely for its bluetooth and camera functions and no other reason, i was totally happy with the XDA, it just needs a good home with someone that will take the time to load the software back onto it.'
Can I obtain any software to rectify this or am I biting off too great a problem?
As the item closes tonight (thursday) I'd appreciate any comments asap.
Thanks all, Charles
If Boootloader is working, reflashing the device should be no problem. You just require a SD-Card >= 64 MB and a (external) Card Writer.
How to do thi is described here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_FlashSD
You can ask him, if he can try enter Bootloader by pressing Power button and doing a soft reset. It will be interesting, what there is displayed....
Stefan
thanks for that. Just read the link article. So I need to factor in the cost of a SD read/writer as I haven't got one. On that basis I think it could work out cheaper to just buy another O2 locked wallaby xda and unlock it for Orange.
But I'll watch to see what the item closes at.
BTW, do you have any idea of the price of the sd read/writer? I'll check with ebay myself as well.
Rgds
Charles
Should be not much. About 5 Euro, max 10 Euro + shipping.....

Can't format 2 GB mini SD

I just bought a Kingston 2 GB miniSD. It was dead cheap (paid about $35, which is a good price here in Russia. Most others are double in price). I doubt it is a fake, because I bought it in a known tech-chain (Polaris).
After using the card for 2-3 days (it worked fine), I started getting problems with the card and the QTEK. When I accessed the card I could see the directory structure, but the directory names were all kinds of special characters, but not latin (my device is in ENG) anymore. After a while Windows (WM5) asked me to reformat the card. I thought its a good idea, but after this I can't use the card at all anymore. Its not recognized by the Wizard. I can see it in my cardreader on Vista, but when I try to copy some files on it, it gets super slow and eventually the copy process gets stuck. Trying to format the card via windows doesn't work either. Tried the repair function (which seems to go through) of chkdisk, but the card is still behaving bad.
I have been reading a few forums, tried other programs for formatting, but no solution. Any ideas? Its not about the money (I could also return the card to the store), but I just hate to become the slave of the machines and waste a brand new 2 GB card like this.
Thanks for your help in advance.

MicroDrives are sensitive to presuure; when you were rising or descending, the change in pressure could have caused the damage.
recommendation: turn off the device for take-off and landing.
My buddy had a similar problem with his. His MicroDrive stopped working. WMStorage didn't fix the issue either. He was running the original ROM that came with the device and some software, nothing more. The only thing that brought back the drive was to do a hard reset, then flash the factory ROM back onto the device. I've had issues with the drive myself so run everything off of my SD Card and only use the MicroDrive for temporary storage or backups of my SD Card. This sucks that we can't trust the drive. Just makes me nervous using it.
agreed! I'd rather prefer 4gig flash memory to a 8gig unsafe microdrive.
but it's all about marketing issues
very true..all my data was lost...i guess it ISS becuz of the rise in pressure and all that,..but my microdrive izz up and working again..!
My microdrive had corrupted twice before, and I had thought that using the miniSD would completely solve the problem. I was wrong.
Yesterday, my genuine Toshiba miniSDHC lost everything on it. I could not recover it with Pocket Mechanics Professional. Soft reset does not help, as it did previously. I don't know if this was caused my the repeated removal and insertion if card which performed in attempting to fix my SIP selection problem.
The lessen for me is, do a regular backup to PC and do not take out and put in the card without switching off the device.
I still have not reinstalled my applications and data yet because today is the day to upgrade my Dopod to WM6. I'm really looking forward to the upgrade. I expect some of my applications to be dumped for compatibility reason, not in the end I'd have a transformed and better computer.
Htc Advantage Microdrive Failure
I want to add my voice to the concerns raised regarding the much sung about MicroDrive with 8GB.
I have lost all the data I installed and stored on the MicroDrive. I had photos, documents - some of them work related and do not have them anywhere at all.
Does anyone have any idea how I can undelete or recover these?
By the way, I did not delete them, they were simply gone!
Please help.

Try to use WMStorage which will allow the drive/s to be recognized under Windows as an external storage drive. Then get yourself a copy of Ontrack Easy Recovery and use that to recover the lost files. I've never had to recover files from my MD or SD yet on my phone but my cousin had a camera that did something like this....all pictures just dissappeared and I used the program and got back stuff he forgot about that had been looooong gone. Works well. Hope this helps
curious?

Thanks ltxda, I will try your advice right away.
YOSEFE.
Thanks ltxda for pointing me to WMStorage. I downloaded and installed the software. My Devive and the Microdrive are recognised as you stated.
However, the only hitch I hit is the cost of Ontrack Easy Recovery, is there no free reliable recovery software somewhere?
Thanks in anticipation.

Not sure if there is a free trial available or not. You may want to check their site. I just have a copy since I purchased one for work. You can also go to www.download.com and try one of the other recovery software trials from there. I'm sure there are a few there that may help or you could try alternate resources.

I agree with you. Makes me sick that I have this EXPENSIVE device and don't have enough trust in the one feature they pushed because of the constant problems.
Have some questions for you:
- How were you transferring files to the MD? ActiveSync, Vista or WMStorage?
- Would you mind posting the resolution here in case others have the same problem?

Care to share your solution mate.
just use the
sorry guys been busy at work, i didnt really fix it without losing my data. i just used the restore microdrive option and then re-format it, lost all my data but at least its working. lol. still pissed off though.
i fiqured some bits out though, wether your using active sync or wm5torage 1.75 and your transfering huge amount of data at once windows then give an error cant complete , cant find drive source.
So I had to do all the restore microdrive thing again but was just testing why it happen the first time.
good thing to do is to use wm5torage 1.75 to transfer but only transfer some amount and wait for awhile and continue.
File Scavenger
File Scavenger is much cheaper for recovering files. It works perfectly for me. The demo is a teaser. It works but doesnot let you recover files. It shows that it can recover the files.

[Q]Sd-card frequently corrupted

Hey guys,
since a few weeks i'm experiencing problems regarding my sdcard.
My sdcard keeps getting corrupted or loses my data such as my pictures(most of the time they disappear...).
I'm currently using the Doxians v9 which is ported by D4.
When it crashes my phone says that the sdcard is damaged so I have to insert it and run a chdsk on it to make it readable again. After that som pictures/apps/data is gone, probably cause they were corrupted or dissappeared from the fat32 registry... After that the card still works like a charm.
I also did some stress tests on the card through my pc, but no problems at all...
For example this morning everything was fine but I had an exam and I had to shutdown my cellphone... After the exam I booted my phone again and suddenly the sd card was corrupted for no reason...
Is there anyone who's experiencing this problem too, cause I don't know what the problem could be...
Thanks in advance!
Greetz YcKe
have experienced this on mine too but i bought a pretty inexpensive SD card... are you facing the same problem on all ROM's??
I had the problem with other roms too.. But this rom is the worst...
Even when I reboot my cellphone there is a chance that it gets corrupted... Like yesterday I just did a regular reboot and lost all my applicaitons on the sd card... Thats not too bad but it worse when I lose my pictures...
Could it have something to do with the sdCache? Maybe to high/low?
Greetz YcKe
...have experienced this on mine too on MiniCM6... SD cache 6M
Now test low cache.
I checked mine, it's 128 kb atm.. It's the default value for android...
I hope that might not be the problem...
Im grad I'm not the only one experiencing these problems...
Greetz YcKe
Anyone else?
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Mine is a 8Gb Class 4 and it crashes a lot.
It crashes with stock ROM and all other Roms.
Thx
Try to take just a pencil with graphite core and strong anoint (paint) them electrical contact to your card.
This protects against oxidation electrical contact and give the best contact in the connector.
Also, do not increase SDCard cache larger than 1 Mb, because in case of sudden reboot the phone may function properly.
Sorry for my bad english...
Could you guys do me a favor and post these things:
Sd card size +class + manufacturer
Android version + mod
Applications installed
This way we can compare and find the trouble maker

usually you can restore the issues by copying files to a backup folder on your pc
then format (fat32 don't use the quick option this once and instead let it do a feal format). then copy files back and you should be back to normal.
I once had a similar problem. The files on my sd card were randomly corrupting. When I took a photo, and then tried to view it, I couldn't. I also wasn't able to open some files from my pc, but the same files could be opened from the phone. The problem was the sd card i have bought, which was a cheap kingston imitation, so i bought a new one from a retail store and that did it.
Bro if you had linux system on your pc you could check it out by using gparted or something like that.
my dad's P1i 4gb m2 card had the same problem. when taking photos some pics appear half, quarter or nothing but green lines on the photo. changed the card and it worked perfectly. and sometimes it doesnt recognize the card too.
so it is something regarding the card that you are using. better get a genuine card (transcend or kingston etc) and enjoy the lot.

Bro if you had linux system on your pc you could check it out by using gparted or something like that.
my dad's P1i 4gb m2 card had the same problem. when taking photos some pics appear half, quarter or nothing but green lines on the photo. changed the card and it worked perfectly. and sometimes it doesnt recognize the card too.
so it is something regarding the card that you are using. better get a genuine card (transcend or kingston etc) and enjoy the lot.

Thanks for the replies guys, but the weird thing for me is that it only happens when using the phone.
I tried some stress tests(write/read) and no problems occured.
Only when taking for example a picture, or putting stuff on my phone like apk's make the sdcard corrupt. I'm now running from a clean install.. No problems so far, I'll keep you guys updated!
Suggestions are still welcome!
Thank you guys
