First when i boot system it says: "Sd card removed, insert sd card" in tray (something like this) , i looked everywhere, even if i try to make photos it says "insert sd card"
Have you tried plugging your sd card into a card reader or another device to see whether the sd is broken?

Sure , sd card is working in card reader, also i've tried to plugging other sd's... it simply, doesnt see any sd ....
is it possible to mount sd manualy, somewhere like android configs (text files like in linux) ??
Send it back to HTC. Sounds like the reader in the phone has packed up.

The problem is - that i bought my hero in Shanghai (it was allready rooted, and oriented to sell in france Now i'm in Moscow, i called HTC Service Center and they told me that i have to wait for couple a weeks, because they dont have card reader modules to test it. I have no much time to wait, cause i'm going back to china soon in Sept. In china there are no HTC official service centers , only in Taiwan. In China HTC models are selling under the "DOPOD" trademark and i think they provide their own firmware with it (maybe i dont know). For me its a little bit complicated to describe all my problem in chiniese =) So i'm trying to find other ways to understand origins of this problem by myself...
I understand that it looks like hardware problem, but i need to be sure (because bootloader can read sd cards), so i have two questions here:
1)When bootloader starts to check roms or updates on sd card it is looking for: HIRODIAG.ZIP,HIRODIA3.NBH,HERODIA2.NBH,HIRODIAG.NBH,HIROIMG.ZIP . HIROIMG is a firmware, but what about the others? Maybe i could launch a diagnostic tool here to check my system ?
2) Are u sure there are no android configs that i can access through command promt using sdk tool usb drivers?
Thanks everyone who is trying to help me, i'm really appreciated!
Ah i missed the bit about it working in bootloader. Interesting. This would suggest it is less likely to be hardware as it doesn't perform that check when a sd-card is not inserted.
But you get nothing in recovery? Have you tried re-flashing/updating your recovery? Assuming you can put the file on the sd card.
Alternatively try flashing the official HTC WWE rru for v1.5 and see whether doing via rru is any better.
This could be a windows driver issue. Have you tried a different computer?

Recovery? u mean before i flashed official FW? NO i couldnt mount/unmount sdcard from there also.
I've tested other computers. When i connect computer and phone with usb cable windows gives me a popup window that it coudnt recognize the device. HTCSYNC, RRU tool, sdk with usb drivers nothing could see it. There is only one way to flash fw - via BOOTLOADER installation WAY
I was working with linux distributives long time ago , and i remember simillar problems there, like mount/unmount hemorrhoid . And Android is based on linux , and looks like bootloader is booting before linux thats why it works there. It seems that android fw is just a top of the iceberg, and when you flash fw probably this does't affect linux CORE....
I might be mistaken , imnot good at linux and all this stuff , thats why iam asking for help here on xda-developers, maybe someone knows ... linuxoids? ))
Or maybe i should post it somewhere else just tell me ...

Hi guys,
I need some serious help here. Today I tried to upgrade my MDA II with the latest 1.60 ROM. Somehow during the upgrade something went wrong and my computer frooze and needed a reset. This was in the beginning 10 minutes of the ROM upgrade and my the screen of my PPC went off. After the reboot of my workstation I could not get my MDA II to connect to my workstation. The MDA is completely useless now. The only thing I have on the screen is:
Serial (or USB) on top of the screen (with no backlight) and at the bottem of the screen Version 1.01.
I can't soft reset of hard reset. I took the battery out and waited for almost 30 minutes but I still can't turn the thing on nor can I soft or hard reset. I can't thing of anything else that I can do and I just sold my Loox yesterday so now I'm lost!
Anybody with a good suggestion??
Please help.

I think it's a way to use a SD-card with a Rom on it.
Looks like Your bootloader is still working and can reflash a rom to Your device.
Now You have to find somone with an 64MB SD-card to put a rom on it and reflash Your device.
With best regards
Jens
Hi Jens,
I think my bootloader is not working anymore. I tried to do a hard reset a dozen times but the bootloader menu doesn't come up. But thanks for suggesting though.
Wouter
Hi wouterk,
I don't know if this would be of any help, but you've got nothing to lose now.
I've got a similar error that the RUU program asked me to remove my XDA II from the cradle and right after that, the XDA II screen freeze at "Seria 1.01", same as yours.
So I put my XDA II back to the cradle and from my PC, I clicked Control Panel > System > Device Manager > and here my XDA II was recognized as an unknown device, so I updated the MS USB Sync driver.
After the driver update, I rerun the RUU and the ROM upgrade went fine. Now I have my XDA II back alive and kickin' with the new MDA ROM. At least this works for mine and hope it would also work for yours as well.
HTH.
Hi Joparp,
Of course I gave your suggestion a try. But too bad it didn't work for me like that :? . I remebered that when my workstation crashed, after the reboot it found a new USB device (my cradle?) but I couldn't get your sollution to work for me. But I still have hopes. Tomorrow evening I'll meet a guy who can fix my problem (keep my fingers crossed....). So I feel reasonable relaxed now.
It is nice to see that so many people responded to my problem. I posted my problem on three different sites and many people responded. That was a nice feeling! I keep this thread posted about the result of tomorrow.
B.t.w did you install the 1.60 ROM eventually?
Wouter
Hello wouterk
well, i'm sorry about this and i guess the safest way to do ROM update thru SD Card.
i do agree with jenson suggestion and i can't see any other way to resolve this problem which i hope will work here are the steps as follows :-
ask any one who has MDA II device, 64MB SD Card and SD Card reader to backup his/her ROM and Post it for you somewhere where you can download it and write it to SD Card.
ofcourse he/she if using Windows will need serial cable and hyper terminal software which normally can be fount under start/programs/Accessories/Communication otherwise download from http://www.hilgraeve.com/htpe/index.html
get the device into Bootloader Mode ( power button+any direction+reset )
Connected via Serial cable and use these setting 115200 baud, 8n1, direct to com1 port or maybe com2 it depends on which port they use
type d2s command to backup ROM to SD Card which i recommend 64MB SD card formatted and when done you will see something look like this
D:Waiting for card insert.........
SDetected one card
SD:ready for transfer OK
Total card size=3D40000ze=0
SDCARDD2S+,cStoragePlatformType=FF
********************************************************************************
***********************************************
Store image to SD/MMC card successful.
SER>
then reset the device and get SD card reader and insert this card into the reader and use ntrw image reading and writing tool
if you don't have it you can download it from here http://www.tamiminet.com/othman/ntrw.exe
from the command line run ntrw read MDAII.nb1 E:
This assumes your SD card reader has drive letter E:
now you will have new file which is MDAII.nb1 it's about the size of the SD card zip it and post it somewhere so he/she can Download it and unzip it then write it back to SD Card using this command b]ntrw write MDAII.nb1 E:[/b]
again this assumes your SD card reader has drive letter E:
when done go into bootloader mode ( power button+reset ) with SD card inserted, hit camera button and flash your device with rom which is on SD Card
if you don't have serial cable you still can do it using Linux with cardle and thanks for bio and few other cool guys who mentioned this hints on other thread
put your device in bootloader mode
connect via cradle
use any terminal (minicom) to connect to the used port (/dev/ttyUSB0)
- you should see something like 'USB>' or 'SER>'
put an SD Card into device
type d2s on command prompt
wait untill you see Store image to SD/MMC card successful
i don't think this will include the Applications on the Extended ROM but no problem this can be done later.
i hope this could help to get back you device to life.
best regards and good luck.

It is working again!
:lol:
Hi guys,
Thanks to Akira my MDA II is working again. Everything is working again exept for the bluetooth communication with my Emtac bluetooth GPS. That problem still remains in my case. I even did another hard reset but still the same problem. I then put the Towa fix again on it and now I can use my GPS again.
So thank you all guys!

Hello all,
My XDA 1 has a fault I don't understand. When I hit the Power on button it comes on and stops at the O2 splash screen. It will not go beyond this point no matter what I try. The desktop does not recognise the device when I connect via USB. I have tried:
1. Soft reset
2. Hard reset
3. booting up in bootloader and running all device tests (failed USB rx & Infrared rx)
4. In bootloader copying boot to SD and booting with that. (Unfortunately I do not currently have an SD card large enough to copy CE or GSM boot)
What I really need to know is if I can try to upgrade the device (to WM2003) anyway and if the upgrade will solve the problem I have now.
DEVICE DETAILS:
Device: O2 xda 1
Bootloader: 5.14
ROM: 4.01
Radio: 3.02
Any and all advice/help/replies most welcome. Sorry if this has been answered previously but I searched and couldn't find the info I needed.
Thanks,
Aide
It's a lost cause...
Device can't connect to activesync via serial or USB so I can't upgrade and see if that solves it. Don't have card reader to try SD method. The problem is as described in my first post above.
I don't know how this happened (I hadn't tried upgrading or any sort of flashing apart from unlocking the device a looooong time ago).
Any ideas as to a solution would be greatly appreciated.
Aide
Your ROM version is not known (at least for me ) ... are you sure it's not 4.01.00 ??
Anyway, regardless of the reason, the good news is that you still have the boot loader working, the bad new is that you MUST use the SD method since the ActiveSync doesn't recognize the device.
Thanks Bis,
Yes ROM is 4.01.00 (sorry if I confused anyone ). Problem is at a new level.
I got an XDA with a cracked screen (so it's almost impossible to use though everything works) and used that with XDAtools (thanks Jeff) to upgrade to xda-dev Special Rom 1.2.
I copied the ROM to the 32MB SD card (got and error message at the end) but still risked using it to try bootloader method on the 'hanging xda. It worked: kinda :?
It now boots and hangs at the xda-dev splash screen and no other changes to original problem. Was that error message I saw responsible or could something hardware related have happened?
Still waiting for relief...Help me please. Someone, anyone...

That's your problem - redo everything above - but using a 64MB SD Card or higher. The ROM files are just over 32MB. Even if your card said it was all there chances are it could have been corrupt.
-JB
Thanks JB,
Getting 128MB card in the morning, will let all know how it went.
Aide
PS: Noticed someone posted same initial problem under topic 'XDA 1 locked on O2 screen' in General forum with no solution posted. So if anyone is interested - watch this space!
Ahhhh... God is in his heaven and all is right with the world
Used 128MB card and it worked like a charm. One thing I noted though: After I used XDAtools to copy ROM to the SD card and put it in the device it would not boot from the card automatically. I assume the ROM update tool on the device checks to see if the current ROM and the one on the SD card are the same and ignores the SD card if they are. (By the way, could someone please confirm if this is so? Idle curiosity :wink: )
I had to use the tool on the device to write the ROM to SD from one device and then the other device (that had the hanging problem) finally read that copy.
Thanks all,
Aide
some boot loder versions doesn't recognize ROM file on SD cards ... ex: 5.22
I have an 8525 at home, that I need to return for Warranty replacement, via Cingular/AT&T. Problem is, it has the VP3G 3.62 rom on it, and the USB port is toast (the black thing that aligns the pins are gone, and some of the pins are mashed, or missing). I need to return this to a factory state within 9 days. I have read about flashing via memory card, but there was mention of SPL and bootloader. I don't have the phone handy to reference what's on there, but it sould be whatever the VP3G 3.62 comes with. Is there a way I can change those without using a usb connection? I don't have any sort of bluetooth tethering ability either. hope anyone can help, thank you!
Get a SD card and reader. Drop the files you need to put it back to stock software on that.
Is there a way to do the spl or/and bootloader via memory card?

Yes there is, otherwise I wouldn't have suggested it.
Assuming you have not installed HardSPL on the phone, this is what I would do:
*Grab a copy of hardspl and put it into it's own directory.
* Run RUUWrapper.exe, click on Force Using SSPL, click next. This will put a few files in the directory, one of which is named EnterBL.exe
* Copy EnterBL.exe to the SD card.
*Copy the file to the memory of the phone
*Put the ROM you want to flash on the FAT32 formatted SD card, renaming it per the SD Card Flash instructions
*Put that card in the phone
*Run EnterBL.exe from the phone's memory with the SD card in place
As I understand it, this should temporarily load the modified boot loader, which will see the image file and ask if you want to continue with the flash process.
Ok, sorry if I came off rude, as I am just new at all of this. Thanks for the information, and I'll give this a try when I get home from work this morning, and let you know how it goes. I appreciate it very much.

Edit:
i switched to the chuckyrom, didtn know which version.... but it also didnt work
can u just send me an rom and an android-build, which just work
download one of the Andriod versions of Mdeejay. He has truely good working ROMS. EVO, Revolution, Desire and Desire HD (even with 720p camera fixed)
I just think you data.img is corrupted .. you can try to replace it .. i rather would go for another Adriod version. Trouble shooting for Andriod SD ports is a waste of time if you dont know were to search
i download always a new data.img when i change android
so i rather think, this isnt the problem
but the mdeejay builds.... i try it
EDIT:
im doin it right, or?
the data.img in the android folder and the rootfs from the android folder intro the root of the sdcard
EDIT2:
it also stucks at the bootscreen.... this time it is white and green
any1 know, which issue keeps me away from the lovely android @ hd2?
It also happens to me when i download android and exracted to my sd card it stuck or frozen in the htc logo for like an 1hr
I would delete the data.img and let Android build a new one. It should do it on its own the 1st time you boot it up, it will make your 1st boot take quite awhile, probly like 10 minutes, but it should boot up that way as long as you haven't changed or modified anything else within your /Android folder. It may just be because of the data.img that you included in the folder why it won't boot up for you
ok, i let android "build" a data.img by it self, but it also hangs at the bootlogo
and i didn't changed anything in the android folder, cuz i dont know what
i changend in the meanwhile the hspl from 2 to 3 back to 2
i changed several roms...... several android builds but nothing works :'(
dont some1 know what my problem is?
i always use task29 b4 i flash a ne rom and radio

-try other SD card or
-to format current SD card
tried another sd card and also yet on another handy with an 2gb card - not sdhc
and it dont work ether
when i download a new android build, the only thing i have to do is to put the rootfs.img out of the android folder into the root if the sdcard. something else?

Okay, It's the same as the one I have tested in the past.
Steps to do:
1) Download v. 4.3
Download 1GB data.img
2) Prepared your SD:
- Format your SD (select FAT32)
3) Create a folder on your SD named: "Android"
4) Open the "MDJ_FroYo_HD_v._4.3_MDJ_S7.5HD.zip" archive with winzip/7zip Set the 10 files folders in your Android folder on your SD
Code:
- AndroidApps (folder)
- media (folder)
- zImage
- initrd.gz
- rootfs.img
- startup.txt
- system.ext2
- CLRCAD.exe
- haret.exe
- ts-calibration
5) Open the "data.zip" archive with winzip/7zip Set the data.img file in your Android folder on your SD
(You don't need to have a other file/folder on your SD except the one I mentioned.)
6) insert your SD into your device
7) Navigate with your device to your SD/Android folder; press on CLRCAD.exe and than on haret.exe
The first boot up can take some time (about 15min) but after that it must works well.
green logo ey?
When i was installing android on mine HD2 all i needed was to UPDATE MY RADIO to 2.15 ! and it passed the green logo just fine! I really doubt it has anything to do with sd card...
ok i followed the steps indicatet above AND flashed Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14
hope it works...
i tell ya
btw: is it normal, that there will be the logo for about 15 min?
in older versions, there was a linux-dos-lookalike screen where u know that the handy was doin something
where did he go??
edit after 20 min:
still hangin on the green/white htc logo
i did ALL files into the Android folder, no files nowhere else
dont know whats wrong
EDIT next day 11:50AM:
thank you kurt-willems
but also your tutorial wont help me :'(

Fore the moment out of Ideas.
- Radio is correct
- Rom; I don't see the problem
- Steps are follow like I mentioned
Maybe SD, (but you tested also on a otter SD. No?)
This worked for me.
I had the same issue for about a day, and after research of stuck on green HTC Logo with no help, and thousands of post later I came acroos an article regarding EncFiltLog.menc. Do not format your SD card with MAC or windows PC, but rather the secret is to format your SD card with your winmo phone by going to "settings" | "format SD card". It will create an exec file "EncFiltLog.menc" This file is, I guess, a partition index??? The file "EncFiltLog.menc" is hidden in windows mobile 6.x but is visible when you mount your SD card to your PC. Do not delete this file!!!!
After that just drop your android folder and it will boot up in less than 3 mins. After that, u may add all your other files. I use a 16GB card with Android and all my music and stuff with no problems. Hope this helps you.
Seriously man, you're a life saver. This has been kicking my butt for two days now.

hi there i have created 2 videos part 1 and part 2 of the wp7 flashing guide. sorry but i have realised my webcam i recorded with has flipped the video left from right so you cant read what i am doing but you can see what i am doing. also i will wright up a step by step guide on how to do this so you have a video and some wrighting
PART 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR1JLoyNgqg
PART 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiZoN8K7M8k
MAKE SURE YOU A 100% CHARGED UP AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A COFFEE WITH YOU FOR THE FLASHING PROCESS
LIKE I SAY THERE WILL BE A DETAILED STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO GO WITH THE VIDEO ALONG WITH THE FILES TO DOWNLOAD ETC
step 1
with a turned off tg01 and the nokser wm6.5.x rom on your tg01 press and hold the camera and power buttons to show a white LED and a black screen
step 2
Plug into usb and start up tg downloader. make sure your tg01 shows up in the port section, then click browse
locate the file wp7boot.bin then select open.
Click download mode and dont worry if tg downloader crashes if you see my video it happens to me. just keep closing and re trying tg downloader until when you
click download mode it says 100%
step 3
tg downloader may have crashed again just like in my video so again restart it and then click start download when it has finnished it may pop up an error just ok it and
disconnect tgo1 from usb and remove battery for a second. connect battery and hold power and camera buttons until there is a blue led and black/no screen
step 4
Reconnect your tg01 to usb and open the folder base_source_bootloader. Iside there will be a program tsunagi_ffu, right click this and run as administrator and wait for it to load
step 5
follow the onscreen prompts and wait for this to flash it may take a while as you can tell from my video part 2
step 6
when all is done it will say success or something, then it should start to boot wp7 when you get to the screen where there is a circle windows logo with white wrighting
just disconnect your usb so it doesnt interfeer with anything.
and there you go enjoy !!!!

I just watched your part 1 and it is bizarre trying to follow along the mirrored video. I look forward to your pdf when you post it...hope it's not backwards as well!
Cheers!
UPDATE - I downloaded part 1 video from Youtube, opened it in VLC player and was able to flip it horizontally. It's still hard to read because of the low resolution.
yes i am sorry my webcam mirrored the video haha i will have a pdf file up today with detailed instructions so you can read the instructions while watchin the video
i have successfully flashed my tg01 to wp7 and back again to wm6.5, 7 times altogether now i use my own method in the video and i find its 95% safer than any other method i have tried
Instructions are up just need to upload all the files
Btw did you get any method to revive the SD card after installing wp7?

If you install WP7 with SD card in, your card will get formatted and will be unusable at all, you would use it only in your wp7 phone and nowhere else, any other phone, card readers etc don't even see it.
It's possible to reformat the card with Nokia symbian or MAGLDR but we don't have both (some have nokia but not all)

Is it because WP7 uses a new proprietary format? Why can't it be formatted back to FAT32? I R confused!

Because WP7 locks the card to work only with your phone. SD means Secure Digital and it's DRM feature, theoretically unavoidable but symbian can reformat it.

Thanks for the great explanation. I guess I'm still amazed that formatting won't work unless via symbian. This seems to be a case where M$ really didn't think things through by removing the main reason people use swappable memory cards in the first place. I think many WP7 users are going to be screaming bloody murder when they find that their 32 or 64 GB cards have become micro paper weights!

M$ firstly stayed that WP7 won't even support SD Cards or any extensionable memory stuff because thet wanted to keep storage integral, for sure for stability. BUT people or some manufactures like HTC wanted to have in offer phones "that supports SD Card extension!! OMG I LIKE IT" and M$ worked day and night to bring it to us But it's worse than having no sd card at all...

Hmmm...with this development it seems that M$ must believe the cloud is the only way to go for storage. It's not a great idea as so many people don't have high speed Internet access, especially via cell towers. I am in northeast Thailand and we only have Edge cell service here. Then there is the dark side that always trys to find new ways to steal our personal info for nefarious reasons. IMHO, regarding cloud computing, we ain't there yet!

I did step 1 of your guide and now the white led on and i plugged it into my pc. but then, it showed me that the device "Toshiba DL" wasn't installed succesfully as you can see in the attached screenshot:
What can i do?
