Sorry if this has already been covered, but searching didn't bring up anything helpful.
I'm new to WP7 on TG01 (been using a HTC Desire for the last year or so) and have managed to successfully install a couple of WP7 ROMs and the 3G radio fix.
It seems though, that no matter what ROM I install, it doesn't see the memory card (2GB, Sandisk, unsure of class) and reports the phone memory is only about 58Mb. Randomly, after rebooting, the amount of free phone space varies from none, to about 12Mb, but as it is, I can't install anything.
I've formatted the memory card in a Nokia N82 and reflashed ROMs since then, as well as tried factory resetting via the settings menu, but nothing seems to help.
Can anyone suggest anything else I can try please?
Many thanks.

Try inserting the micro SD first, then do cold boot. No need to reflash the rom.
Thanks - can you please confirm exactly what you mean by 'cold boot' please?
BTW the card works fine elsewhere (in windows and other phones)

this evening i put my phone on standby and when i tryed to turn it on again the screen wouldn't work, so i soft resetted my phone and it started up fine, BUT then i got a couple of errors because my phone couldn't find some program files from my storage card, so i used file explorer to check and it turns out i can't see my storage card anymore, i tryed to soft reset it etc. but nothing worked, i plugged the card into my cardreader and my computer doesn't show the card either, so i think something is wrong.
is anyone familiar with this problem or has anyone got a solution for me?

i think i had the same problem try to format the card on a digital camera and if you have a canon digital camera it should have the option to low level format if not look for a app that does low level format and if after this it still does not work try to see if the card still has warranty and send it to get it replaced.

ok i'll go try right away, yeh the card still has warranty and this is the 2nd time this happened to me (1st time i already got a new card, lol!)
well, the camera says it has to be formatted, but when i try to, it fails, so i guess my card is screwed, again...
well i'll go to the shop in a few mins and hope they'll give me another one again
ok, today i got my new card (unfortunately i hadn't backed my last one up ) and i'm busy installing it again.
but what i was wondering is, why does this problem occur?
What brand of card do you have?

I flashed my SPL with DTF's HardSPL and I tried to flash a rom from my internal storage.
So I did put the leoimg.nbh in my MicroSD Card then boot + Volume Down, my screen goes for the SPL screen (3colours) then blink for ~1ms on which I think is a grey page then goes back to SPL page.
Any idea?
Solution from Djet:
you have to format your microSD in FAT32, I did it with my stock microSD and it worked. VolumeDown button before starting makes the device boot in UpdateMode (3color screen then gray screen asking to press PowerButton to update from leoimg.nbh or volumeDown to cancel).
thanks!
The grey screen is the one that asks you if you wish to go ahead with the update. I think you're just pressing the Volume button too long after getting to the SPL screen as VOL cancels the update and the power button updates, iirc...
Is your storage card a FAT16-formatted plain SD (non-SDHC)?

no, as I release the VOL button right when I start seeing the 3color screen, like 1s before the gray blink. I guess that it's the update screen that shows up but I want to know why it doesn't stay and if it is a bug from HSPL

It's the retail one (2Go) FAT 16 formatted
Same problem here, I tried flashing from two different SD card without success.
I tried even with gold card method, same results.
I think is relating with HSPL that I flashed 2 days ago.
Anyone have a solution for this problem?
I've just realized the stock 2GB goldcard I used to flashing with HSPL is actually FAT32, not FAT16. You could try.

It worked. Today I bought a 2GB microSD (sandisk) card, I formatted to FAT 32 in Windows, I put .nbh from stock 1.43, and gray screen appeared with loading… etc, now i'm back to 1.42 again. Be careful when loading screen appear, remove the volume down button otherwise you will stuck in bootloader.
Thank you djet for your help.

I have the exact same problem but your suggested fix does not work.
I've tried several different sdcards and formatted using sdcard.org program, panasonic formatter, windows XP format to FAT32, Linux mkfs.vfat, mkfs.msdos, but I can't flash any LEOIMG.nbh file I try at all anymore.
I'm stuck as the USB connector on my phone has broken and I need to flash it back to stock to get it repaired.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I know this sounds silly, but are you sure you are trying to flash an allowed ROM for your phone? My T-Mobile UK phone would not allow me to flash the HTC 1.66WWE ROM via SD Card, but it would with the 1.72 TMUK ROM.
Can you not format the microSD Card with the phone? Are you using the SD Card that origionally came with the phone, as 8+GB cards are known to cause problems.
like this problem
my phone is hd2 t-mobile from USA. problem is update progress is going to RADIO_V2-OK RCUST-OK BOOTLOADER-OK SPLASH1-OK. problem is OS and CINFIGDATA can not update.
please help
I have had the same problem. This might could be useful to someone.

I've tried 32 and 16gb cards. The only one which worked was my 8gb card although they were all formated to the same format fat32.
jwchips said:
Aaaah typical, it would be the one thing I didn't mention! There has been reported issues when using sd cards larger than 8GB (but I've managed to use 16GB cards before, which is why I didn't mention it). At least now you know what the problem was..
Glad it all worked out!

I had the same problem. When I tried to just name it to leoimg (so leave out the .nbh) it worked for me.
My phone's taking up this habit of rebooting (or so) randomly and automatically. It doesn't show any error or message and just reboots about twice a day... How did i know... My music widget did not display the last song paused and the up-time duration in the battery status was only a couple of hours (when infact I haven't shut it down)
Does anyone face this problem? Two things that could have made things go bad:
1. Using Verbatim Class 4 8gb MicroSDHC (heard problems with 8gb cards)
2. I rooted my phone partially (z4root did not work, superoneclick worked till halfway but I was able to access the root. Is there anything called incomplete rooting ). And after deleting the useless pre-installed apps... unrooted (again partially ) so that I can visit the Service Centre if things go worse.
Will the phone face problems if it reboots every once in a while. I don't mind it as long as it does not give me errors
Thanks,
Have you tried another sd?
AFAIK and with what i been seing arround here, that can be a card fault.
Incompatibilitys or something like that. It whouldn't be the first device like that.
Second change will be a hardware failure, wich is worst...
In my viewing, everything that is not normal, it's not good for your device.
So you should try to find a solution for it.
Cheers
my bad... Provided wrong info in the last post.
My system uptime is 48hrs which means my phone hasn't rebooted. But my status since last unplugged is 3 hrs but I last charged my phone more than 12hrs ago and I haven't plugged it to a computer as well. This number haas changed twice today...
I am thoroughly confused... Don't think there is a problem with my sd card as the phone runs perfect... All the games and music stored in the card play without problems... Guess I'll have to investigate further.
If anyone has any suggestion do let me know
I had this problem, too. And yes, It's SD-card related.
The uptime counter doesn't reset every time, but the last unplugged time does, as you noticed.
I flashed with the OC kernel, and surprisily, my phone is now fully stable. I don't know if the kernel did really the trick, but you could maybe give a try...

Can you please elaborate. Flashed the OC kernel... with what?
Did you reinstall the original firmware? Thanks!
I used the custom recovery and I selected the "Flash from zip file" option, it was very simple once you get the custom recovery working !
It doesn't erase your data, and it doesn't replace the original firmware, it's only a patch.
Do I need to install the custom recovery or is it pre-installed?
I don't think it is pre-installed. The key combination is not working. The phone starts up as usual.
And do we need to be rooted to carry this out. I'll try a soft reset meanwhile....
EDIT:
I got it. Need to use this "recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img" file to enable the custom recovery. If I put this file in the root of the sd card, will the key combination work? And what about the flash file? I'm sure it'll ask for the flash file when i select the option flash from sdcard.
I've experienced similar behavior, mostly using 3D apps. Google's Nav will usually result in a freeze/reboot. Quadrant has done it many times. When I was looking in logcat and bugreport it was showing messages like:
W/SharedBufferStack(223): waitForCondition(LockCondition) timed out (identity=223, status=0). CPU may be pegged. trying again.
I can't be positive if the SD card is the culprit (I haven't had a chance to replace the stock card yet), or if it's a software or hardware problem. I've only rooted and modified build.prop to enable jit and stagefright...and that's it.
edit:
Phone just crash when I opened the new updated google maps. Attached the logcat if anyone can glean some useful info from it.
Mine is definitely SD card related.... Flashed the original firmware but did not help. The SD card kept unmounting and remounting (no rebooting though).
Finally went back to the bundled sd card and no problem so far... But my other 8gb card is working perfectly in other phones and the pc as well (very good transfer speed and all) Even when I had it in my phone it was snappy.
But I read that a new firmware has been released. hopefully that will sort the issue... Fingers crossed.

There is a new version of the firmware, V10E.
You need to try that one.
I have the same phone and have no problems running a PNY 8 gig. card. I would try to re-rom your device but, be sure to back everything up first. If problem still persists try a differant sd card. ( class 3 or higher) I am currently running Cyanogen 2.3.3 with kernal update 2.6.32.9. OC to 806mhz. Semms to be running just fine. I hope that helps out.

Hi, I also facing the sd card problem. Can I update to v10e because my phone is v10a and rooted?
Before you guys upgrade, try this ....
Copy out all the data from your SD card, format your SD from the device, then copy the data back.
In addition, if you have shifted any Application data using the Move to SD card feature, suggest you move it back.
I used to have the reboot once a day, now I don't have it anymore ...
Formatting didn't work for me. Factory reset worked for a couple of weeks, but still got SD card unmounts with no apps moved to SD. The only thing that worked was physically removing the SD.
friend i got Phone on this saturday till then I was having problem of random reboot .like every time i play with my phone . i am using class 2 trascend 8gb made in taiwan micro sd card (but the problem of unmounting never occured to me).Main problem was of the random reboot .Then i flashed my phone with Unofficial port of CyanogenMod 7link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354 it worked so greatly and now i am running phone for more then 3 hours without any problem(hope this time will increase).

Hello,
My Mozart has been slaggish for a month or so now and I used to get freezes for like a minute. Then applications would refuse to start unless I tried like 3-4 times. As I was walking today I got the phone out of my pocket to check the time only to notice a message prompting me that I must reset to factory defaults as all my files are corupted. Done that and then the phone entered an endless reboot loop. Doing another hard-reset allows me to start configuring the phone again but it's a matter of time before it restarts on its own and prompts for a hard-reset. This is an Orange UK phone and I havent seen any ROMS to flash and see if that resolves the issue. I was about to dish out £500 for the Samsung Omnia 7 but it turns out the device has similar issues and so is the HD7. Anyone knows if this is easy to fix? I feel terrible for giving my HD2 away so I guess I am going for an iPhone 4 instead.
Sounds like an issue with SD Card, could be corrupted. Your best option would be to send it back for repair as faulty or if you are adventurous (and don't need your warranty) you can attempt to replace the SD Card yourself.
I have accessed the SD on my Mozart and it isn't that difficult, it just requires the correct tools and patience.

Hi everyone!
I have (what I think is) a huge problem on my phone and after looking in tons of forums for solutions I found that the people here seem to really be able to help me.
I'm new to android phones... So please bare with me...
So I bought this phone in second hand from a friend who was in need of some cash for college (I don't really like to buy used stuff but...), and it came rooted with cyanogenMod7 but I was having trouble cause the phone wouldn't recognize my sd card and I couldn't connect it to my pc so I tryed to change it back to its original settings...
Its a vodafone 845 (huawei U8120)..
A friend of mine tried to help and we found this recovery menu (Clockwork recovery v3) and he chose some format options (format boot, system and data) and now the phone is useless! It still doesn't recognize my SD card or my pc, I can get into this recovery menu again but cant seem to fix the problem!
Other than that all the phone does is show the initial hourglass forever...
I would be so gratefull if someone could help! Thank you in advance!

Well you wiped the phone, so there's nothing to boot into.
You need to put a rom on the root of the SD card (not in any folders). Make sure the rom is made for your device. Boot into recovery and flash the rom, you should have a working phone after that.
Thank you for you help!
Now the only problem that stands is that the phone doesn't mount my sd card... Its an 8gb kingston, maybe I should get one with less capacity? The previous owner used a 4gb card and she said she never had any trouble regarding that...
Although the phone specifications on the net say it can handle cards up to 16gb :S
Have you tried mounting the SD card in clockwork mod as the usb disk drive?
Its found under mounts/storage.
sent from my legend, currently using extream legend fuse™
Ok guys, I've gotten as far as flashing the rom!!
Made huge progress in exchange for several hours of sleep xD
Now the only problem that stands is that when I choose the option "flash zip from sd card" I get this:
"E: No signature (242 files)
E: verification failed
Installation aborted"
And I'm lost again, yet soooo close to fixing my phone! :/

There should be an option somewhere to turn off signature verification. If you can find that option, toggle it off and try again.
You should try installing the original Firmware.Or Reinstall CM7
I got very similar problem. Have u tried to install different sd card. Maybe current one is broken like in my case?
Note: I do not have this device
See [GUIDE]All Huawei new&old phones-Install Stock Rom-Full Reset
Procedure:
1) Download stock ROM from HERE (im guessing you want Vodaphone UK)
2) Format your SD card to FAT32 (plug it into computer, right click on device, format, follow instructions)
3) Create the folder "dload" (without the quotes of course) on to the root (top level) of your SD card.
3) Extract the UPDATE.APP from the stock ROM and place it in "dload"
4) Power off your phone and put sd card in.
5) Power on by pressing POWER+RED_BUTTON+VOLUME_UP
If done correctly you will see a progress bar saying "UPDATING!"
Edit: this will reset the device to normal, however it will of course require a working SD Card. Try using a friends, try using your card in other devices (other phones, computers, etc).
To test SD Cards in your phone:
1) Insert Card
2) Boot into recovery
3) Go to Mounts & Storage menu
4) Plug device into computer
5) Choose "Mount sdcard over USB" (or similar)
6) If it shows up on the computer it is working, and you may as well use it to carry out the steps above
Note, if you are still checking for sdcard after resetting the phone, you will need to devise another method as the recovery will be replaced. For example use the storage menu in system settings, as this will show stats on the sdcard if it is readable.
My phone is working!
The problem with the SD card was that it was password protected, so I used another phone to disable the password, about the ROM, i just picked another one, I actually found it here on XDA! The celestial teapot, I really like it
Now all I want to know is if its possible to have multitouch on my phone?
And by the way, THANK YOU ALL for your help guys! You're awsome!

No problem, glad to help. Glad you got everything up and running too Multitouch is included in the kernel (at least on my device). If you can find a custom kernel for your phone, make sure it's compatible with your rom. I'm not familiar with your phone, so you'll need to do some checking on kernels. I'm not sure if multitouch is also a hardware limitation or not, so if you don't have multitouch at all it may not be possible. Kernels determine the number of touch points on my phone, if you don't have it at all then it may not be possible or there may be another mod for it.
If you can flash a custom kernel to achieve this, remember to do a nandroid backup first. Always do a backup when flashing anything. If they start to take up too much space, delete the old ones and just keep the most recent. Also remember to only wipe dalvik and cache when flashing a kernel.
Again, since I'm not familiar with your phone you'll need to do some research on these things first. The best thing you can do is read, read, and read some more. If you get stuck again, the good people here will always be able to help you out.
