[Q] SDcard not recognized by phone? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So the thing is.. I was experimenting with Android I was going to format my SDcard so I could load a new build in to it. I took the card out of the phone and put it in a adapter and then in to my computer and formatted the thing. Then wen I put it back in to my phone it wouldn't recognize it anymore. Tried it in my GF's Omnia II to, but without luck. My computer recognize it though..
Anyone who knows what might be the problem?
Thx.

I have tried many times, in many different ways.

sorry mate..i think your only chance is to hardreset your phone.
if it doesnt work then, the sd card must be dead..
how big is the card? when you try to fill it, can you make it totally full?

I've formatted the phone, and installed Energy's rom, but nothing's changed. I'ts a 16GB Card, and yes I can fill it up on the computer, but it doesn't show on the phone

so it doesnt work with another phone..
for me thats a proof, that the sd card is damaged...
have you got another sd card which works with your leo?
where did you buy it? i think you should go there...thats a warrantycase.

Hello,
i have the simular problem that sd card is not recognised, other devices like loptop and other phones recognises it.
It all started when I had android 4.0.4 version and I droped my phone, then I have tried lot of things like reinstaling this ROM instaling others, then going back to orginal windows, switching SD card, but it gave no result. Then few days ago I tried insertng sd card from my friends android phone and it worked fine, so we formatet sd card usig his phone, and it worked! but today I tried taking a photo and i saw that SD card ot recognised again. I tied formating using FAT32 but no luck.
I have tryed several solutions from this and other forums forum and coments:

but no luck, if any one have any sugestions please answer
Now I run android 2.2.1 JDMS 1.6.2 build

SD Card not working - Virus? heeeeeeeLp pls...

hello all..
i would like to ask if anyone could give me a realiable cab file anti virus...
my 4gig micro sd for dopod 838 pro was hit by one..
i can no longer see the microSD in my computer neither in my phone...
i would like to know how can i format my mmc and how can i get it show in the system
Mod Edit: Please use descriptive thread titles. I have changed yours a little.
That wasn't necessarily a virus... The sd card may have failed.. This means you have a lump of plastic that is useful for NOTHING. You'll need to get a new one. It may have been a FAKE branded name knockoff from china....
I've had 1 or 2 myself...
Cheers...
What problems are you having exactly? Memory is cut? Slow speeds? Wont read?
It could have stopped working, not everything is a virus. The same has happened to one I had. The phone neither my computer could see it anymore.
Try and get a Sandisk (authentic) one.
.....
thanks guy's!...
good thing there's some folks like ya'll around...
stay safe!...
My sdhc card stop being recognized
Okay guys, here's my problem, I flashed my phone last night with this
http://rapidshare.com/files/2179382...1.255.1_102_6275_1.38.00.10_108_Ship.exe.html and for some reason, now it won't recognize any of my sd cards even the ones that are below 2gb. I also put the sdhc.777 cab install and it then tried using them and it won't recognize any of them. Is there a fix on this issue? And of course some of the buttons used when you press the alt button arent under the right buttons. Can anyone help?
refuse2bstopped: Is the card working on a PC? I mean, if you plug it via USB Memory card reader or something similar to PC, is it shown in My Computer? If yes, then try formating.

Yes it works and shows on PC but none of them show on the device. I have a 512mb a 1gb and an 8gb that all showed on b4 I flashed the device. But now even the 512mb and 1gb don't show even though they never even needed the sdhc.777 cab that the 8gb needs to work. I'll try formatting it. But doesn't that mean I'll lose all my info on it? Oh well, it can be obtained again. I'll try it and see what happens. But that means I'll have to do it to all of them.

Okay, I tried formatting, and it still doesn't show up. When I go to settings then memory/storage card, it keeps saying "not installed" and it says this regardless of the card I put in there.

I'm having the same exact problem. I've been researching it for days. I thought a new ROM might fix it. .....NOPE..... The SD card does not exist. When I insert a card.... absolutely nothing happens.
Update: I fixed it. The drive itself was a little buggy. I used compressed air to clean it out. Then repeatedly inserted/removed SD card until it started working (albeit unstably). I repeated these steps a few times, and now it's working quite well.

[Q] Can I use my SDcard after Goldcard?

hello fellow hackers. Today i hacked my HD2 to install Android using a goldcard. Everything went well. No i have the problem that neither my Milstone, nor my HD2 or legend recognize the card. I have formated it a couple of times but no chance. I can use it on windows, and read and write but the cell phones doesnt recognize it. Is my SD card now corrupt? How can i remove the changes that were made?

Dude, why do you want to format it?
If I were you, I would rather buy a new one and keep the old one as an emergency kit
Still, you can try format it using a Partition Tools software.
Good luck
you shouldnt have needed to format it. it should work as a normal sd card when its gold, no problem. how else do you think you managed to copy the leoimg.nbh file onto it?
A card should work as a FAT disk, and still remain gold, until it is formatted (or you accidentally allow that annoying windows 'your disk may have errors' or whatever the hell it says popup to 'fix' it.)
Since you have gone past that stage by now, id say fix the mbr, fresh partition. Give some partitioning software a try, or you can use THIS (post 3) method to clean the mbr, see if it helps.

making the card took me maybe ten minutes. i can recreate it. anyways i was able to delete all the partitions with gparted and reformat the sd card with the phone it self. Thanks for the replies anyways.

Screwed up my SD card

Well last night I had android build on my card and it wouldnt install new programs and games from the android market place so i decided to re format my sd card through my card reader through my computer.
Big Mistake!~ Everything is wiped off but now its taking longer to load programs onto the card and windows keeps giving me an error when trying to load android .Cab onto my card :-( i really dont want to buy a new one lol

The .cab is dead. Have you tried the zip version? See my thread here.
But the .Cab worked before and it doesnt now?
Is there another re formatting program that i can use
to make it back to normal?? or is my SD card just ****ed up?

Reef updated the cab, and it's broken. cab takes for-freakin-ever as well, plus it doesn't really let you see how the system is arranged.
As for your SD card, you can try formatting it using the HP tool. Not sure if your card is messed up permanently or not... Can't say I've ever seen a card completely fail before, but I always buy name-brand SD cards...
I used the Hp Tool i put your android bundle on my card everything was great and then i when i was in android it would not confirm that i had a sd card in there... idk man i ****ed this **** up lol

First off, Could you please ease up on dropping the curse words? That would be appreciated greatly.
Now, when you formatted your SD card did you format it FAT 32? Also did you use quick format?
The recommended setup is: FAT 32 & Full Format (NOT QUICK).
Thanks

Yea, curse words are not appreciated... Lots of kids in the forums, let's be respectful.
At any rate, what do you mean "when i was in android it would not confirm that i had a sd card in there" <--- I'm assuming you mean some app said there was no SD card inserted? Try dcmedic's suggestions.
Sorry for the bad habit
I got it to work. that Hp tool actually did help me thank you!
I had to reformat it 3 times but it works like a charm now
I had android installed on the card and android was not reading that i had a card inserted but now its does so everything is good
thanks for your help!

SD Card doesnt mount in Android, xrec is ok

I have recently upgrade to android 2.3.3 and am using EWJET as a rom.
I cannot access the SD once Android OS has booted. All apps and the system/settings says SD Card isn't mounted. Tried multiple installs, nothing works.
All 2.1/2.2 Roms are fine.
If i tap back during start-up and access xrecovery I have normal access to the SDcard and can flash packages etc. So the phone is able to access the card ok.
My SD card is the 8gb that came with the phone and isnt partitioned in anyway.
However in the past I did have it partitioned, but not now. Incase I am installing 2.3.3 and the rom wrong, ill tell you my steps.
Factory Firmware 2.1 flashed
rooted, busybox and recovery installed
Flashed X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_only_kernel_baseband
then install the EWJET rom as per his instructions..
I pray I am only doing the above steps wrong as I desperately want the SD working on 2.3.3.
Any help would be appreciated.

you try pulling it out and blowing on it like an old nes game...
jk smiles but have you tried perhaps throwing the sd into a computer and just formatting with different cluster sizes or in general formatting the card. Might need to use an adapter.
Happen the same thing to me but with wolfbreaks rom... some people told me to re-flash the rom but it didnt work. The funny thing is the the sd card will work on any other device, and any other sd card will work on the phone... havent try re-formatting the card cauze i dont have the adapter but it should work

you might want to get an adapter. A while back i tried setting up a sd-ext partition on a 4gig card and long story short the only way i was able to run a format that gave me back the 4gigs was throwing it into an adapter
Had the same thing when I updated with stock-2.3.3.... At the time I had it partitioned in 2 partitions...
I connected the phone then with my pc, and there it was, alive and well.... So I backed up the entire card, that is, the first partition, where all my data were; I powered off the phone, took it out, found a adapter, deleted the 2nd partition with Partition Wizard Home Edition Minitool, made the sd-card 1 partition only, formatted that partition, and then I copied all my backed-up data back to the card
Then I put the card back in the phone, booted and voila: the card was recognized again by 2.3.3....! and now it functions ok!
Hope this helps, greetz, good luck,

formatting did not help
Anything new on this?
for me it is a little different. The card that came with the phone works fine with the GB update, the thing is that I got another phone, this one came with a 4 Gb card so I took the one in the x10 with all my pics and put it in my new phone and put the other new card in the x10 but it doesn't recognize it...
I've tried with 2 different cards, in xRec i can read it, back up, etc, but once in android its like there's nothing there. Tried formatting it with no results....
What could it be that it reads the original x10 card and no other?
Ive got no idea, but its annoying. Im gonna have to go back to 2.1 which sucks.
We need to some how figure out whats causing this. Ive tried everything.
2.3 seems to be the problem.

I have 2.3 and the card that originally came with the phone (16Gb SDHT) works fine, the thing is that it doesn't read any other card.

Same issue no clue what to do
Today i found a workarround using DISKPART (6 years later hehe)
Note that this will wipe your storage card so BACKUP !!
Hold [Win + R] and type in : diskpart (or launch cmd as admin and types: diskpart )
Every lines should be followed by enter key.
list disk
select disk *
(" * " is the number of your drive. be carefull do not choice your hard drive number which is commonly 0)
clean
create partition primary
assign
format fs fat quick
exit
Tested and work fine on windows 8 (but should work on 7, 8.1, 10)
Thanks Hope i help even 6 years later !! cheers

SD card crashes phone

Hello guys
Okay here is my problem:
I have a HTC Incredible S it's rooted and S-off.
no problem there.
but when I try to mount my sd card it starts re-booting until it don't have anymore power.
when I re charges my phone it does the same thing.
I have tried to format my SD card and it worked for a while (a month or so) and then it began again today when it ran out of power.
ohh and the battery gets really hot when charging or re-booting nonstop.
so here is my question then:
Have any of you guys tried same thing?
and if yes then how did you handle it?
is there anything I can do?
thanks for your time guys
The Linux kernel may crash mounting a corrupt file-system. Reformat your SDcard, and if it happens again too soon, buy a new one. It's quite likely it's gone bad. You may also see if you can find some SDcard diagnostics you can run on your PC testing the card, if you've got a reader.

try another sd card and see if it works perfectly or not
if other sd card works fine then might be ur sdcard has gone bad and has bad sectors and try reformatting it once more and if it still does not work then it needs to be replaced
if other sd card also doesn't work then try factory reset and check again if problem is corrected or not
