The spec says that MMC is supported but it does not work.
Only SD works.
Anyone with other information?
It is working for me, no problem. However, sometimes, I will need to do reboot if the MMC disappear from File Explorer

I got the Qtek 9090, which XDAIII have you got?
1)How many file write operations have you performed on your mmc?
Each removable media has its own work term measured by file write operations or card inserts. After this period your card can be surely thrown out to recycle bin
2)Did you try to re-format it?
3)Check your \windows\startup folder for *flash.lnk files (they must be present)

The card works fine in my Qtek 1010 and Qtek 2020.
I have formated the card in my cardreader. But can I also do it on my Qtek?

Yes you can. But it won't help you if you don't see folder "\Storage Card"
Use 3rd party card formatting software to accomplish this task (soft by V2P and other)

And try Hard-resetting your device as a last measure before returning your device to guarantor

Hello, i have the same Problem, i cannot access my MMC.
I had access with my qtek9090 twice, but its not working any more. I formatted it with my card reader under winxp and in my cam, nothing works.
I did several Hard resests but without success.
You said something about the *flash.inc files in the startup folder. I can't locate them in my phone. any suggestions what i can do?
Greetings, Philipp

Hi all, just got a byteStor sd card but can't seem to copy anything to it, i've tried switching the lock, i've tried formatting it but to no avail.
has anyone any ideas ???
TIA
Does your XDA II recognise it?
One thing to try is inserting the card while XDA II is on and see if it prompts you to format it. If it's not formatted it should prompt you.

If I try just copying a file with the sd card in the card reader on the pc then it says that the disk is wright protected.
I've just tried copying an mp3 using activesync and it works ???? strange
So you are saying that with the card in the XDA II you can browse it from Activesync's explore option and write to it successfully? and that on your PC, the card reader doesn't seem to allow writing to it?
If that's the case, then maybe you should look at the card reader and its drivers. I think I read something somewhere about XP getting things wrong with memory cards.

hi guys! m new here.. i have a prob with my sd card. everything from copying files to sd card to reformatting are fine. however when i open the files using the sd, oftentimes it stops running.
i'm opening mpeg and pdf files of more than 3mb. i'm using 1Gig pqi sd card 60x.
help....
Help!!
I just got my 1gb apacer 60x sd card for my blueangel.
earlier i was using 1gb mmc card. that was working fine.
now with active sync, or with file explorer on phone, i can not delete or create anything new on the external card.
though the carrd works fine with a card reader...
i even reset the lock and tried but nothing happens..
am i missing some step somewhere??
do i need to format the card b4 using it in my BA?
reading is not a problem, its only writing, and that too from the phone and activesync only.
Pls help!!
Yesterday I've re-installed my MDA Pro.
I use the QTek 1.30.77 WWE ROM, QTek 1.30.176 WWE extended ROM and the 1.11 Radio ROM.
After the hard reset I've installed all the programs from the extended rom and after that I cleared out the extended rom and used this for some SPB Apps (Not Pocket Plus, I installed this one on my local device).
But now when I perform a soft reset, the phone changes the name of my SD card to "Storage Card 2" and it creates a directory "Storage Card" where a temporary internet files directory is located.
I also used a reg tweak to let IE store my temp internet files on my SD card, but now it seems that when I reset my MDA it creates a temporary internet files directory when the storage card isn't detected yet.
But I haven't had this problem before.
Is there anyone who has a solution? Because now some programs are installed on my storage card and they don't work because the path to the executables is wrong. Maybe it has something to do with installing programs on my extended rom???
Why this happens:
If for any reason it cannot find the SD on boot (fast enough) it will create a folder called Storage Card to put the temp files (or inbox or whatever) so that the path \Storage Card\... exists. Now as soon as the SD becomes available, since there is already a folder called Storage Card it is forced to name itself Storage Card 2.
Solution: Delete the "Storage Card" folder and soft reset.

Yes I gues this is the problem. I already tried your solution, but it won't help. It will create a new directory with the name Storage Card so that my SD card again will be renamed to Storage Card 2.
Move the temp internet files back to the main memory and delete the folder. Apparently it does not read your card fast enough.
Going to try that. But I just don't understand. I have a SanDisk 2g Ultra 2 SD card, so the card is fast enough. I never had this problem before, just after the hard reset from yesterday.
I know have linked the temporary internet files folder to my local machine and it seems that this works!
Only I still want to know if there's a solution so that I can store my temp ie files to my SD card without the issue of the "storage card 2".
I remember reading this problem before. I believe the solution can be found on Buzz's Ext ROM Unlocker thread.

Couldn't find that in the post, but I reset my device again and didn't installed programs on my extended rom. This seemed to work, so maybe that was the problem.
thanks, i freaked out, almost done a hard reset, then searched XDA through google, found this solution, it worked 100%.
thanks guys
Hi -
I purchased the 8GB MicroSDHC card from Verizon a week ago. It worked fine on my AT&T Tilt for a few days and than it lost all information! Fortunately, I was able to restore from backup, and it seems to be OK again. Here's the strange part: even though the original files and directories are gone, the card still counts them in used memory. I.e., the used memory is about 200 MB more than it should be, the amount of space I was using before the card crashed. This applies whether I check the memory on the device, connected by USB, or with the Card Adapter that came with the card.
Any ideas what might be causing this and how to recover the used memory short of reformatting the card?
Thanks!
If you could tell us what you did for it to crash it would help
You probably tried to partition it or something...?
Looks like you will have to format the whole card.
Maybe there is a simple way to do this but here is how i would do, if it helps :
- install WM5Storage on your PDA main memory
- start wm5storage with the option memory card and connect your PDA to your PC
Activsync then wont be sync'ing and your memory card will be seen from your PC as an USB-key. Open it on your PC and check to make sure it is your memory card that you see (and not your PDA main memory).
Then use whatever format tool to format your "USB key" with FAT like format, for example you can use HPtool (be carefull to format the key and not another drive !!!).
After this do not forget to turn off wm5storage, otherwise you will not be able to "see" the memory card on PDA side...
Hope it helps, let us know...
by the way maybe you could try this :
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
I've used it sometimes when i had started to format a hard drive instead of an usb key by mistake.
Windows was asking for formating everytime i wanted to open the hard drive folder. However, using this Testdisk tool, i was able to mount the hard drive and recover everything including my photos and music and stuff... Maybe you want to try this awesome tool, plus it is free and OpenSource.
Use wm5storage tool to use your PDA as an usb-key, then use Testdisk on this usb-drive, it might be able to see, list and recover all the "lost" files and heal the whole partition at same time.
Thanks for the suggestions - I'll post again when I have the chance to try them -
No luck
Had a similar problem with my Kaiser (HTC Rom). Yesterday I did something (don't know if it was memmaid - my guess, because otherwise I just installed some cabs I had previously installed in my Wizard with no problem) and my SanDisk 6 GB MicroSD was completely 'erased".
I just noticed after the Kaiser had created new folders over it (Application Data, Cookies, History and Temporary Intenet Folders). My assumption is that something destroyed my partition table (that's why I suspect memmaid, it may have cleaned something wrong) and now I have another partition over the old one.
I tried file recovery and found 1 GB good of files, but there were 5 Gigs on the card... I really wanted to find "program files" so I didn't have to re-install lots of stuff, but no luck.
Tried Testdisk as suggested above, but it never detects any partition, not even the current one. I guess I will have to reformat it and re-do all stuff.
Well, I may be saying lots of dumb stuff, but that's my guess.
Thanks if there is any possible help in this...
Ah, and when I insert the card via a card reader in my notebook and right click properties, it says 717MB free, which means my old files are there waiting for me (new folders have only 736KB of data)... What to do?
Guys need advise do you have to do any patch to be able to use 4-8GB mini SDHC card on your PDA?
I have a Asus P535. Have asked their support site and the reply I got is the max supported is only 4GB.
I believe I've read in more than one place that the Kaiser may support up to 32 Gig, which is the MicroSD maximum. But I may be wrong...
Fact is this has never happened with my Wizard and its 1 Gig MiniSD. Now I'm gonna increase backup and cloning so I don't have to reinstall everything...
But I'll check if there is a patch anyway. Thanks.
I am able to use Sandisk microSDHC 8GB can on Asus P535.
But need a micro adapter to miniSD

Click properties and then click theTools tab. Run Error-checking with both options checked. When you check your card, you will hopefully see a new directory with recovered files. You can then delete them and regain your disk space. This is what worked for me -
Thanks. I tried that at the time to no avail. I did have to reformat, and then reinstall everything... Now I'm using Sprite Backup, so everything including Storage Card is backed up in case this thing happens again.

It could be WINXP patch
I have the Sandisk 8G , it came with a small USB reader and all was working fine. However my ASUS W5 laptop also has a built-in SD slot so I installed a patch issued by Microsoft to make it HCSD compatible, and it read and write it OK but then I suddenly got the same problem that you've described here.
The disk goes blank but the files still occupy the space, even attempting to reformat the card in the built-in slot will ignore that space,i.e it shows only 5G card.
But reformatting using the small USB card reader was fine and from now on I only use the cardreader to read and write and everything is OK. In my view the XP patch was causing that problem
I was using it pretty good and suddenly my memory card appear and disappear when ever i reset my ppc. Now, i cant detect it anymore on my dopod 838 pro. Any idea or comments i can do to verify that the memory card is the problem (if it is still alive?) really need some advise and thanks in advance!

Pull the card out and pop it in a Normal PC Card reader and see if you can see the contents. For some reason PPC's will occasionally corrupt the formatting of the card to majke it unreadable to it but PC's sometimes can. If you can read it with a PC, then copy the contents off, reformat usign the PC and copy the contents back and try it in the PPC again.
ok will do that. but isnt that dangerous to lose data tat way? also, when i could read the memory card, the folders r there but the files r gone. possible virus?
i can find my memory card on the card reader. i tried formatting it but it gave me an error "Window is unable to complete the format". What is wrong?
Were you able to copy your info off of the card? How were you trying to format it?
Make sure that you DON'T have a window to the card open when trying to format.
HELP ME WITH ADVISE!
My problem is back again. My data at certain folder in the memory card is disappeared but still able to browse the memory card. Then i soft-reset a couple of times and the data comes back. It took the dopod 838 pro to read the memory card very long time b4 able to show the data on the card.
What should i do?
Check the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager. There are two DWORD values - PNPUnloadDelay and PNPWaitIODelay. If they are not set to 8196 - do that.
its 8196 as posted...
Looks to me like 2 possibilities:
Your SD Card is shot; or
Your phone has lost the plot.
If it reads OK on the PC card reader, the card is probably OK.
I'd try a hard reset of the phone first. (Make sure you have backed up everything first.)
Also, clean the SD slot as best you can to make sure there are no biscuit crumbs or old socks fallen into the hole.

Seems like some problems with this card. You didn't try another one?
Anyone know of an application that will allow me to check the micro SD card is OK ?
I suspect I have a fault in the card as I had to recopy 2 folders and the PC can't read the card directly.
It would be nice to check first without going through all the backup and restore time (16 gigabyte card).
Thanks, D.

I've never heard of a WM program to do this but you could try putting the card in your pc and using Scandisk command.

Thanks - but the PC does not recognise the card !!
But, you've given my the idea to try it directly from a DOS window using scandisk from the command line.
Thanks, D.
Active Sync?
Will you get access to the (corrupted) storage card while connected your THD with activesync?
Other way to check could provide EasyRecovery from OnTrack and your THD has to be connected in diskdrive mode.
In generell I used a tool named h2testw - which was developed by a German Computer Magazin called CT. http://sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/2008/09/02/h2testw-14-gold-standard-in-detecting-usb-counterfeit-drives/
This is the best one to check physical errors on every externel memorycard connected through USB. It has to be used on a new formated card.
Thank you for the tips I will explore those.
I'm not sure what the problem is. I can see the card via active sync but not via USB style connect.
I can not see the card when I directly connect it via a card reader.
I was able to use a different card OK and reinstall my GPS app (Route 66) which had gotten screwed up by this card "fault".
I'll report back on results ...
Hmm
These two don't work because I can't see the card from the PC (except via activesync)
There is a file called "~Recycled" in the storage card which does not show in the standard pocket pc file explorer but does show up in total commander.
Maybe that is causing a problem - will investigate on google what this is.

Noop - that's not it. Apparently this is just a delete folder from Resco File Explorer. It should not stop the PC from seeing the card.
Searching further ...
same problem here, I am contacting Orange to try to get a replacement. Not sure if its under warranty.
Try Pocket Mechanic for PPC... it has a Scan Disk utility amid a collection of others.
Successfully repaired my micro SD card with this when my HD was having problems reading my storage card some 3 days back.
Good luck!
