hiii everyone,,,,,,, recently i exchanged my x10 mini pro with my friend and take his rubbish cheap phone for 4-5 days as he needed mine for taking photo of a place.we also exchanged our sd cards, but since i took my phone back and trying to insert my sd card, it is not getting detected and phone keeps restarting automatically again and again and there is no option except watching ,,, my friend told me that he once plug the card in a pc that contains lots of serious virus,, phone works fine after removing the card,, but what is a smartphone without a sd card ( a useless ****)......... thanks in advance,,,, and do reply and help plzzzzzzz,,,, and btw i m using a custom rom ( ginger dx )
i try to help you:
put the SD-Card into a PC. if the PC "see" the Card and you can copy some files from/to SD-Card, than i think the SD-Card is working.
But if the PC don´t "see" the SD-Card, than i think the Card is damaged.
Be careful with the SD-Card at the PC. If your PC read/write any datas from/to the Card an at the same time you put the Card out from the slot, than the card is to 99% damaged.
you should always klick to "remove hardware" at windows - your phone had this funktion too. Use this!
i will give a few things you cant try
1- do what the post above told and if you see the card copy your things and try formating(THIS WILL ERRASE EVERYTHING ON THE CARD, so dont forget to copy)
2- if step dint work, then you can try to use a diferente card and see what happens, if is the phone or you card
3- the last i have if you think the problem is in the phone then you can do a stock format(AGAIN THIS WILL DELETE YOUR PHONE THINGS, so do a backup first of every thing you need)
you can do this on the phone itheres is a option in the configuration
or with PC companion using the rapair they have
hope i helped

OK I used the ROM Kitchen to mave a .eve of the upgrade to WM 2003. In the middle of the process my device lost the connection. Now my device is sitting at the upgrade screen telling me it will be done in 5 min.
What can I do?
i had that happen to me today!
usualy, you restart the .exe and insert the xda,
it will restart the process on its own.
if not, go it the SD card method, as described somewhere in this forum.
good luck.
Hmm...
Because I always use the SD method, I have never used the exe files. My guess would be to soft reset the device and hope that when you put it in the cradle again it will let you run the exe. You may try putting it in the cradle while its in bootloader mode if just a soft reset doesn't work. Only other thing I could offer is to write it to an SD card for you - but that would require you mailing me the SD card + rom, me mailing it back, and a lot more than 5 minutes.
Let us know how it works out.
I am trying the SD way. However, program that is suggested does not appear to be writing anything to my SD card. I have a 6 in 1 USB card reader. Any the program ask you to pick drive 2-4. I have tried all drives and can not see the image file when I try to view the contents of the SD card on my PC
You're not going to see the contents when you try to view it on your PC - your PC will tell you the card isn't formatted.
I have resolved my problem thanks for the help!
I recently upgraded my memory card on my Streak to a 32gb class 10.
When trying to put files (pictures and videos) on the card via the USB cable the files appear to have been copied okay, but when trying to access the files on the Streak they are either missing or corrupted.
I reformatted the card in the Streak and tried again. This had the same effect.
I transferred some files via skydrive and they worked fine. But the next time a accessed the card via USB, the files disappeared again, even though I didn't access the folder in question.
This is the second card I have tried, so I assume that the card is not the problem.
I'm running stock 2.2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What OS are you using?
Even though the file copy may appear complete it may not be. Make sure you use whatever steps are appropriate for your OS to eject or unmount the SD card after copying.
Using Win 7 x64...
I'll have another go and let you know.

I've tried again making sure that I've selected Turn off USB storage from the handset and safely eject from the PC. It still happens.
The strange thing is that it even affects folders that I didn't access whilst connected to the PC (it either empties or deletes the folders).
Totally stumped on this. Could it be a problem with the card? If so, has anyone used a 32gb card that works that they can recommend?
You have tried at least 2 cards, but have you tried a different PC. Is it possible you may have "something" running on the PC causing this.

Make sure that you do those in the correct order. Safely remove from PC first, then turn off USB storage on the phone.
If you can read the card with no problems make a backup and then format the card in the phone. I have seen a lot of cases (and not just with Streaks) where issues were caused by using a card that had not been formatted while in the phone.
Where did you buy the card from? I ask because this sounds a lot like the symptoms you see with faked cards that are really much smaller than the 32GB they claim.

Hmm. I got it from Ebay. It does show as 31.2gb in windows.
This is the second card I've had from this supplier (I sent the first back because of the problems with the streak as listed above). As I had the same probs with the 2nd card I assumed the device must be at fault.
Are you sure the card is legit? you should hook it up to a card reader and loading +20gb of data and seeing if it's good
I tried transferring a load of files to the card and it stopped after about 3gb. Some of the folders were empty.
I tried reformatting in windows and noticed it was FAT32. The card will not format as NTFS.
I guess this means that the card is duff?
it definitely sounds like you got a fake, those are classic signs it's a fake

After some reflexion my conclusion is I dont knoow why but it seems that the phone think that the internal sd card card is my micro sd card and vice versa .
P.S.: it is normal to have the folder androide.secure on the ext_sdcard but not on sdcard?

Does the computer even detect that you have anything connected to the computer?
My android.secure folder is on (internal) sdcard. The ext_sdcard does not have that folder present.
Are you booted in fastboot?
yes but it detect a unrecognize usb device. And i think that fastboot is on in speedrom 7.5 but I put the old htc setting and disable it but it did nothing.
Hi everyone,
after 1 year expericing with evo 3d everything is ok,
but in the last month some problems are killing me.
1- when i put the usb connection to download image, after i get sd error and cant see any images from gallery. (files are visible with android assistan, visible after rebooting, tried different cables, different sd, the system doesnt sees anymore images of applications, maybe some refresh problem?)
2- when i turn off the screen and connected to wifi or datamobile, both turn off till i turn on the screen, its a very annoying problem...
3- also the music application cant find my mp3 folder with music.
4- when i open gmail at first it says "no data connection", even if i'm connected, and clicking refresh works. (but i have to click everytime!!!,,,,
5- today i got also a strange grey icon of the battery with an ? on it, first time ever seen it.
other miscellanea information:
the phone is all original, i'm using apex launcher instead of sense, there is a lot of free space on sd, the phone never fell on the floor, nor in the water. camera is working great and all other function, no lag in applications,,
i hope some of you great xda master can help me finding a solution,
thanks to all.

ps. does exist an application that cancel all unused application files in the sdcard? thanks again.
1 and 3 sound like a bad sd card or card reader in the phone. The rest sound like an OS bug, which a factory reset should hopefully clear up.

What do you mean "cancel?"
thanks for the answer,
i guess is the sd card, il try a factory reset. the new sd card that caused problem is a samsung 16 gb cas 6, i thoght it was good.
i mean wipe the garbage, like all those files left behind from applications uninstalled and no longer used.
thanks again.

Well, normally when you connect the USB cable and choose to connect the USB storage then the SD card becomes unavailable to the phone but the computer can then access it. Both the computer and the phone cannot access the SD card at the same time... I will spare you the technical reasons but you should know that this is normal. After you are done copying files with the computer then you must turn off this USB storage mode so the phone can access the SD card again and then it will see all your music and pictures again (all these are stored on your card by default).
This should all be fixed OK by a reboot of the phone though in any case. Are you sure you rebooted the phone completely? maybe you should try to remove the battery once?
If you've done all that then you can try to repair the SD card by taking it out of the phone and using micro sd to SDHC adapter and inserting it directly into a computer then using windows to run a chkdsk on it.
hi,
i've done all you said properly, you know the problem came out because there was a differente behavior than in the past.
i remove securely the phone from pc and then is not accessible,
i didn't tried to chdsk the sdcard i'll try, but it sounded strange to me because its brand new.
i also tried to contact htc , they said " try to reboot, or try to remove the battery and the sd and start the phone again, the problem wasnt gone.
thanks for the advice.

Well if it's just gotten corrupted then you can just reformat the sd card. You'll want to backup all your data first so if you can't do that from the USB connection to the PC then you'll need to insert it directly into a pc. Once you've formatted it you can put your backed up data back on the card and put it back in the phone and after a while it will find your mp3s again. If it's truly a bad sd card then the reformat won't help.
Do you have another sdcard? The one that came with the phone or any other? Try putting some mp3s and photos on it and then put that in your phone. If your phone recognizes the photos and mp3s then maybe your current sdcard is the problem. And can you tell the the format of your sdcard? Is it NTFS or exFAT or FAT32? If it is UHS-1 card there is a good chance that it is in exFAT. To make it work on Evo 3d, convert it to FAT32 .

Try and reboot again.
If still an issue, you can either lose your data and try and format it int he phone, or get an adaptor and plug it into a computer
I tried nothing works.. I think after I installed the update of clean master and reebooted and the problem apeared

If you connect it to a computer it may recognize. If you try more than one Operating System, and more than one Adapter, it may read the SD card. The phone is lease likely to recognize it if there is corruption.
As a last resort, you may have to format the SD card, but it will completely erase your data. To do that find the drive letter for it on the computer (usually F: ) and right click, select format, and leave everything but choose FAT32 as the filesystem.
You can just replace the SD card for now, and try to get a friend or a technician to help you recover it from that one.
