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

I fully agree with the above comment that softwinter soft would do the job, although I used to have problems with my previous Lexar SD card ... softwiner soft tested the card and everything seemed to be fine although it was not ... strange :?

Hello,
I bought a 2GB Sandisk microSD today from a shop.
Upon inserting it into my hermes, it got stuck: the normal 'spring' action didn't work, and the more I pushed, the more the card slipped into the sd slot until it wouldn't go any further ...
I had to use a pin to slowly pry it out from the slot. Fortunately I got it out.
So did I get a dodgy / fake card?
I did notice that on the dummy microSD card that came with hermes, the front tip (the end that goes into the slot first) is narrower on both left and right side of the card than the back. While on the card I got today, only the left side is narrower; the right side is a straight flush line ... which smells fishy.
Should I return this? The shop keeper keeps saying it's the real thing ...
thanks
It'll loosen up. Mine did that too (on two different devices) for the first few times. BUT, SanDisk doesn't work in Hermes, so, take it back because of that. You need a JAPAN made MicroSD Card... There's a thread on this.

Same here, I have a 2GB SanDisk Micro for over 6mths now, fully utilised and works flawlessly. A lot of ppl bought same card from same place I did, and I haven't heard complaints.
And fits perfectly in my TyTN, from day one.
I'll be the third to say that I have never heard of nor have I ever had problems using my 2gb Sandisk in my Hermes.. Legolas, what are you smoking?
And if you could please provide a link to that thread, I would appreciate acquiring its knowledge.
I have 2 sandisk 2 gig both brought about 4 months apart from seperate suppliers both work fine.

Odd that you aren't seeing it.. On my two 8525, I can get the cards to disappear almost on demand.
It looks like mostly a Cingular ROM issue in that thread. Maybe that's why I don't have same problem, I've had my original TyTN ROM until I flashed to WM6 XDA Live 1.0, with which works fine too (not in a hurry to change to xda live 2.0, 1.0 so far works good for me).
I haven't had a single disappearance of my card and/or loss of a file since I bought the phone in Sept last year.
Yes, sandisk cards work fine. The issue with cards disappearing is a rom issue which will eventually be resolved. If you are using a stable rom you won't have a problem.
I've never had to force a card in the slot though!
problem "fixed"
Hi everyone,
Thanks for the replies.
FYI, I've "fixed" the insertion problem now: it seems that I need to be a little careful when inserting the card into the slot, and keep it a little more to the left and down.
The first time I inserted it, I pushed it in a little higher into the slot, which caused it to get stuck. So the problem doesn't occur now, though it does make me wonder why the slot was made with such loose tolerances (I'd expected the card to either go in or not; and if it does go in, the slot should be such that the card goes in without any need for the user to be 'careful').
And the Sandisk 2GB card reads / writes fine in my hermes. I'm using the latest 3.5 ROM from HTC.
cheers.
Changed from SanDisk to Kingston 2GB card. And the device works without any freezes. I guess the Hermes DOES have issues with the SanDisk cards. Only my opinion..
had some corrupt files on my 2gb storage card so i copied off the good stuff then reformated as fat32 alloc unit 512. copied files back on but now TomTom runs like a dog.
have i used the right settings for reformatting?
any other suggestions?

What rom? BL? Radio? etc..? What do you have on the card? Do you experience any issues where the phone goes to sleep and never wakes up until you soft-reset? Do you *ever* need to remove and re-insert the card?
Please, when you're posting information that you want to share with others, be DESCRIPTIVE! We'll never figure stuff out if all you contribute is, "Mine works".
just want to be sure it supports 2gb cards before i buy one
yes it supports up to 2GB
In case you're wondering what brands are known to work good in 3125 - I have a SanDisk 2GB in mine that works fine...
Just bought a couple more the other day from a vendor on Amazon.com - 2GB seem to be pretty cheap now. I went for the SanDisk packages that include a SD and mini-SD adapter with each micro-SD card - hardly any more expensive than getting just the micro by itself (and keeps your options open in the future)...
(no, I don't work for SanDisk...

ditto. i'm on the market for the same stuff, but i found out that i could use a 2GB MicroSD (AKA Transflash) card from another site.
I recently started having problems with my 2g sandisk microSD. The phone sometimes can't see portions of the card. I have to reboot for the phone to correctly see 'all' the card. Anyone else experience this?

Hi sofenee ,i face the same thing like u ,
do u solve that ?
any ideas ?
i face that with 1 gb and 2 gb and 256 micro Sd cards . i donot know what is the problem ..
please help us guys ..
I had issues in the past where the contact between the phone and card seemed to be a bit flaky. I have since put a small folded piece of paper (just a couple of layers thick) between the SIM card and the SD card to push it down in order to get a better connection. I have not had any problems since.

I have had that happen before, I think the SD card driver is crashing, once you reboot the phone it seems to work fine. This happened on an official cingular ROM. Never had a problem with Erofichs' ROMS

Just try adding a layer of tape (I used regular, transparent scotch tape) on top of the microSD card and trim it
Resolved the issue for me
I installed the jasjamming black version off WM6 a week ago on my 8525 so I could use the 4gb sdhc card I bought. But it's not working. It shows no memory. I've looked around and it says that this was supposed to be a fix in the WM6 roms. I've tested other smaller cards and they worked fine, I don't have a card reader so I can't tell if this card is good, but if it was a problem with the card I think it would say something having a problem with the card. Is there a work around or something I can do to get this to work.A way to see if it is detecting the card at all. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
That particular rom might not work with the card, never used that rom so can't say for sure, I can confirm it works wih the official HTC rom and some of the other roms out there, do a search all the info is here.
im using the black majik rom and sometimes it wont detect my 4 gb card. only after re-inserting 2-3 time it will show up. kinda weird.
Thanks I think I will try another rom and see if that fixes the issue. Can anyone recommend a non-official rom that works with Sandisk 4gb.
Have you tried to make 2 different partitions to that sd card what happens then?
how would I do that... since the card isn't reading I have no way to create a partition on it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I am going to be watching this thread very closely as I just ordered a SanDisk 4gb card for my HTC TYTN. I am using an HTC Rom in my phone at the moment. I will post up to this thread when I get my SanDisk and let you know if it worked in mine.
P.S. Having to insert the card a few times and randomly not recognizing the card seems to be a bug that is popping up more and more. Even with my 1gb card sometimes it just would not recognize that I had a card in there until I popped it in and out a couple times. Card is new, phone is only a month and a half old so I don't think it is an issue with crud, its got to be some sort of software bug.

Using your computer. The microsd should have come with an SD adapter. As for a ROM, I'd personally try any of the new super-lite ROMs. They, and any ROM that has been released in the last couple of months should definitely support SDHC.
I got it to work
I upgraded to Shaps new rom and it worked right away with no problems. Don't know what the problem is with the jasjammings black 3.0.1 rom I was using but Shaps rom definatley works.
Just a note.... I had a little problem with activesync not working with the microsd in the phone. This was an easy fix since all It needed was something on it. Once I tansfered a file onto it, it started working fine. My problem is completely soved.
Glad to hear you got it working.
Hi Guys,
I just bought and recieved my new class 10 sd card in the mail when I got home from work.
Ive saved everything from my old card to my computer and was just about to throw the new one in my phone, but thought it might be safer to check on the threads to see if there is anything I need to do first. Couldn't find any other threads to walk me through it but I remember seeing something about fat32 the other day on here....
Is it as simple as swapping them?
Thanks, Luke
*edit..... never mind, I bit the bullet and it's all sorted. Formated the card and all is sweet....
