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!
I have two 8GB Sandisk MicroSD card killed by my HD2 (i think so). Anybody faces the same prob? The cards are totally dead now after using it in my HD2 for a few days...
No such experience.
Good to know the Bland and model.
You mean brand?
Try to format it on your pc...
I had the same Isue.. could not format it on xp pc only on windows 7 pc..
mos of the time if you let you put it in your card reader and its recognized.. you just have to let it scan for errors and let it fix them..
Sometimes my cardreader fails to detecet my card. I don't think this is related to my HD2, atleast I don't hope so.
Not had it...yet...on my sandisk 8GB MicroSD. This is the one straight out of a Nokia 5800. The 2GB one which cam with my HD2 went tits up after I tried to import a playlist from WMP onto it. Seems I'm not alone with this issue either...
For the first time I can report a problem with my HTC HD2.
I also seem to have a problem with my 8Gb Scandisk card. It seems either my telephone or my laptop screwed the card up.
I have standard stock last rom available in Holland manilla 2.5 Rom 1.66. No special things installed.
The card works almost 100% except when I go to the tap music. Then hell breaks loose. The phone looks for the music files. But cannot find them and then suddenly the phone cannot recognize the card anymore? I have to restart the phone before it can recognize the card again. This only happens when I go to Music.
But the damage is done anyway. Cause when I insert card in laptop or computer. I can see the files but according to the computer there empty (which is not the case). I cannot copy or cut while in card is inserted in the computer.
I accepted this problem cause I have a good working TomTom on it which someone else installed for me. If I format the card I cannot put it back.
Try to format your card, I did this from my laptop (if it can reorganize it) and NOT chose FAST. Becouse if there is a problem with the card it will simply skip it. This is also a golden rule when you install new OS on a old or well used laptop.
Copy the tomtom folders to a folder on your PC before formatting, then copy back...done
I have a 8GB Sandisk card, I've had it on 3 plones now, using it for about 3 years, still works like a charm.
To the OP, maybe you got fake ones, Sandisk is the most counterfeit memory card brand, if you got them on ebay or so and not in a respectable street shop they might be fakes, for which that kind of failures are typical.

I have this problem, and I went back to HTC. I got a new phone replacement and everything is fine thereafter. =)
I had a problem with 3 different Kingston 8GB cards.
Statred working fine, but after writing more then 2GB to them, they suddenly died.
I tried all of them in the phone and in a card reader, and they acted the same way.
As a final test - I used a SanDisk card, and it works just fine from the time I got it.
So - maybe, you just have defective cards ?
Did you try formatting the cards in the phone and not in the PC ?
I have the same problem. If i put the files on my sd card from my pc there seem to be no problem. After I check these files on my phone, they are damaged or the folder is empty. So.. anyone has suggestions what to do?
Same experience here.
8Gb was working fine the first two days (the card that was included with my HD2)
Then, for no reason got a pop-up (invalid card type, do you want to format?)
At forst I said "no" and tried with my computer... None of the 6 software I used could save my card. Was definatly dead.
Put a second one in (1Gb, just to make sure), it's been a week, and I already get errors when I write. It's like the micro SD is on read only (though ther's no switch to set it back to "write mode")
One of the many (many many many) bugs of my HD2
i had the same problem. the 8gb SanDisk microsd card that originally comes with my htc hd 2 is now useless. lost a lot of pics, cab & songs. it can't even be read by card reader on my laptop. is this some kind of bug?? now im using another 8gb card & hope it wont happen again. im glad though that im not the only one having the problem
And i thought i was the only one. My 8GB only lasted for 1 day before it went died. Had to get a replacement from Service Center. The staff seem to handle it in a very fast manner (guess i am not the only one to get the SD card replaced recently!!)
My guess is i did a hard reset on the phone with the SD card in it. Anyone else did the same thing?
My card has been corrupted twice no the HD2 leading to:
1) Very poor performance
2) Very warm phone
3) Very fast draining battery
I believe it was due to the power saving features enabled to do with the microsd as someone else mentioned on this forum.
its a manufactures defect. something should be done. lots of users are getting this problem now,including me
maybe i know the answer..
sorry for my bad english..
I've the same problem. But searching from all forums, finally i get the answer. just find n download EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard Proffessional 4.3.6 (for 5 MB). Insert the mmc in card reader, use this software to recovery all the missing file (choose Complete Recovery Option). After recovery process done, use software LLFTool (for 600kb, just doing some browsing at google) to Low Level Format the mmc (this LLFTool can recognize the mmc). After all done, Windows can recognize again the mmc at windows explorer. Just right click and choose quick format (format FAT32). Done, you can use the mmc like the new one

thanks for your help. i tried your solution but it doesn't work. neither the EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard Professional nor LLFTool detect the memory card. i think there's nothing to be done for the card. just hope htc will sort that out
I have also recently had an issue with my 8gb Sandisk Micro SD card.
It has been working fine for a while now, then yesterday when I went to pick up my phone, I noticed my S2U2 unlock screen was black instead of having my usual wallpaper there. My HD2 had just suddenly decided it can't recognise the card anymore and tells me I need to format it for it to be readable.
I pressed 'no' and tried to read the card on several computers as I wanted to transfer all data off before formatting it, but it would not read on any of them, nor would it work in my old N95.
I don't understand why this has happened, it has been working fine no probs, had about 3gb left on it still and have not recently installed anything on it - very annoyed as I have lost lots of recent photos of my 6month old boy which I cant get back now.
Have had to order a new card and hope this doesn't happen again, but not a happy bunny

android build..?
back up all your data from your sd card, then reformat your sd card and try again. I should work....
Yesterday i was helping my gf to install android on her hd2, i encountered exactly the same problem as you. Then reformat sd card, install android again. It works smoothly without any problem.
Hope it helps.
thx for advice...i try it...
I have the same Problem...
no matter what I do, it does not work
It always freeze or reboot new.
I have formatted my SD i think over 100 times
What i do wrong?
I have hspl2 and the newest Radio ROm, but it doesnt work
EDIT: I tried all Android builds noone works
Did you do a task29 to format internal memory, then install back energy rom. Only install android. Have you tried that?
@ whizzkid_cool
I dont understand, what is task29
And energy rom? is that a custom Rom?
Still Doesn't work....

Did you copy the complete Android directory (so not only the files) to the root of your SD card?
All you have to do is read
It could also be your SD card. I had exactly the same issue with an 8gb card I recently purchased. No matter how many times I formatted it I still couldn't get Android to run fully all the time.
I have since got a 4gb SD card and Android, all builds, now runs without any issues whatsoever.
Just a suggestion that it may not be something you're doing, or not doing, but an actual hardware issue!
You might also be making the same mistake I did.
When the guides on this forum said to copy the Android folder to the root of my SD card, I thought it was referring to the "/" directory that I saw in Windows Explorer. (What is actually the internal memory of the HD2)
I was putting Android in the wrong directory. I should have been copying it over to the Storage Card one, which is the actual MiniSD Card. That's the root directory.
Just a thought.
same problem...
Hey guys
i tried everything but i have the same problem
it´s only the green screen from HTC. I hope it is not the SDCard
I have the goatrip 6.0 final version and tried it with many Android builds, most of them were from Mdeejay
Please help me without android i think the hd2 is boring for me
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!
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,

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.
