Have just successfully updated to my very first ROM ! Yay me !
MR Vanx's instructions worked a treat.
I have a small problem since the upgrade and I am hoping someone can help me please ?
I can't see my storage card anymore. It worked 100% error free in WM5. I did the upgrade to the ROM without the card in the phone so as to make sure I didn't loose anything. Now I can't see it !
HELP Someone.

Same here, it happened to me too. I went back to my official Orange WM5 rom, and then moved up to PAY's WM6.1 rom. So that makes two people who had SD card trouble with Schap's WM6 4.31 !!!
PS. Tried my card in my friends phone (same as mine) who is running 3.30c and it worked fine. Guess it must be something in 4.31 ?
I ran 4.31 with both a 2gb and an 8gb microSD/microSDHC card without problems with tons of apps installed on the cards.
Well its been an issue with some people and not with others. There is a whole long thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1908699#post1908699
I get problems with Schap's 4.31 and not with any other ROM so atleast for me that ROM is the problem.

I tried with a lot of different sd cards (1gb till 6gb) without any problem on 4.31. Do you have extended rom visible? If yes, your card could be not visible. Try also to add a "My Document" directory on the card. Do not ask me why but it can help. And... but i suppose you tried already: soft reset after installing the card.
My 2 cents

Done all what you've said and much more to the point of buying various cards of different make, but nothing works !!!
I have been running 4.31 for awhile and haven't seen any problems.
You mentioned that you took the card out while flashing. Have you tried to flash again with the card in? It shouldn't have any effect to the data on the card. Of course now that i've said that, it will probably wipe it clean, so you better back it up(usb card reader works great)
You could also try wm5torage, it's a long shot, but maybe it would wake something up.
Good luck anyways.
I had this problem once. Check to see if there is a 'Storage Card' directory present when the card is out of your phone. If there is one, when the card is inserted it creates a "Storage Card2" directory that does not work properly with windows.
Eject the card and remove the directory. Soft reset and try again.
Thanks for the input guys. Very impressed with the fast response.
I have tried a couple of things suggested already and the others have made no difference.
Not a problem. I think i will just flash a different version of the Schaps ROM for now and see how I get on.
Well, for those interested I flashed 3.30c and still had the same issue. My friends card worked in my phone and mine in his. I backed my card up using my pc and a card reader. I re-formatted th card and the phone then saw it !!
I did however notice that it was a little flaky but found if I pushed the card up slightly using my finger nail on the back side the contacts made better connection and it stayed.
Then came my moment of pure and utter genius ... I decided to try to bend the card slightly to get the cards contacts to make better connection.
Thats right you read correctly, I bent the card, in fact what actually happened was that I snapped the card !! DOH !!!!
Oh well. Guess I am in the market for a new card.
Is 2GB my limit or can 4GB work ?

I hate it when that happens.
Anyway, WM5 = SD card = 2 gig per the spec
WM6 = SDHC card = 32 gig per the spec
I've got a 4 gig in mine, working fine, phone sees the entire card
Thanks for the info and for not laughing at my stupidity !
Appreciate it.

If I had laughed, it would have been in sympathy, as well as at myself. I've done boneheaded things such as that before!
What formatt is the sd card? FAT32, FAT??
I formatted it FAT.
I just feel so silly for doing something so stupid !
Just popped in my new 6gb SDHC card and it is working sweet as a nut.
Sandisk one btw.
replacing the stock 4gb card with 16gb.
Is it ok to copy ALL folders and files (including hidden etc) from one card to the other, then just use it? Or do I need to format the new card from the phone or some other procedure? cheers
I just copied the whole lot to my new 16GB and put it in and worked just like before but with more space
Thats great. Just what I wanted to hear. Thanks for the feedback.
No problems, and enjoy the extra space!
ive just copied the content of the 4gb to an 8gb card and when i booted the phone i am locked out of the android market. have no idea how and why this has happened but i have ried the online credit card solution, and also the over phone credit card soluton and in both instances i get sorry cos of a technical error cant unlock at this time.

I've done almost the same as you but I've done one extra step. Put in the new 16gb card to the phone and then through settings, format the card..... then do all the copying!
That way everything works
i copied from a 4 gb card to an 8 gb card with no issues and no pre formatting of the card on the desire. I think your market issue might be unrelated. Maybe try restarting your phone, checking your network content restriction setting and accessing over WiFi not 3g.

Im do same way.
cheers guys, not sure what started the issue. but i could sort it out the usual way as stated above. quick call to t-mobile this morning they took the lock off, but couldnt tell me why it happened.
thanks for the replies all. Good info. I will ut the blank 16gb in phone and format via settings. Then I'll put the 4gb back in phone, copy everything off it onto PC, put 16gb card in phone, copy everything on. Job done. We hope. Will report back if any problems. cheers.
Yup just transfer everything across to a bigger capacity card
a while ago with my 8gb sandisk card (class 4) i kept getting an error on my phone that read;
'memory card removed, insert new one'
even though the memory card was still inserted.
now with my 16gb sandisk (class 4 also) its doing the same, didnt do it for the first few months.
does anyone know anything about it? phone issue or memory card issue?
i dont want to fork out on a new memory card every time it does it.
if its phone issue i will have to re-lock, unroot, and everything else so i can get it looked at. otherwise they will do the sucky teeth thing and tell me its my fault
p.s im out all day tomorrow so will check back when im in.

i managed to fix it i think, heres what i did;
1. made back up of ALL folders, including hidden, excluding music (already on pc)
2. moved apps from sd card to phone
3. opened mini tool partition
4. total format of all the card, including ext.2 partition, clicked apply, left it to it
5. made partition again
6. placed mem card back in, moved apps back to partition/sd card
after a few days with no music or vids or anything, ive not had the problem. seems to have fixed it for now.
although if i get it again i may splash out on a new class 10 memory card

You must've downloaded something that made those folders.. And if you don't know what it is, you might have to factory reset..

I ran into the same thing a while back. I was never sure what caused it. The only way I could find to fix it was to reformat the SD card.
I came across such folder located in my TWRP Backup on SD card.
Its name: µ~1.8CL
I tried to delete and my device soft reseted.
From there I pulled card tried to delete folder using PC , That was a no go.
Folder would not delete so I had to reformat card.
the µ symbol is a sign of sd card corruption. usually formatting the card fixes the issue. doing nothing, though, will let the issue become worse and it will continue affecting other files, backups, etc on the sd card. i've seen several users that had to eventually just get a new card.
Hi all,
Something strange happened yesterday. Everything was working perfect when both the SIM cards started to deactivate and reactivate on my phone. I was on official LOS 15 and everything was so perfect.
These are the things i have tried so far -
- As its obvious i thought its a ROM issue so reflashed stock S251 from TWRP, but hard luck, the SIMS kept deactivating and reactivating here as well.
- I used fastboot adb method to reflash stock MM on my phone. Successfully flashed, network seemed OK for a while. But then it started the same thing again.
- I used fastboot adb method to reflash official S244, same thing ...
- I have tried to use 1 SIM at a time, swapped SIM slots.. same thing..
- Both SIMS have proper IMEI, Both SIMS can be used to make a call, Everything is good except that SIMS keeps activating and deactivating every 5 to 10 seconds.
If anyone has a suggestion in this regards, help would be highly appreciated.
Update *
I just reflashed MM stock using fastboot adb commands, Followed by installation of all updates via OTA till i was on S251.
Still the same issue remains. Both the SIM cards get deactivated for just a fraction of a second and then reactivate. This thing goes in loop and taking its toll on battery and my cellular connectivity.
Any suggestions or help guys ?
Ok.. Never mind people. I managed to fix it. All good now.

Instead of letting people know you managed to fix it you should rather explain how you managed to fix it. That would be more helpful to the community and anyone who faces this particular problem in the future.

First backup your data on the pc
Then maybe you should try formatting your SD card
I once had a persistent icon for SD card and did the same

Thank you Avnish for your reply.
I have formatted my sd card afew times in the phone it self and also on pc . the phone i still get the sd card icon at the left hand side and notifications just when i open from sleep phone or restart.
i can format the sc card to internal storage and then it goes away but when i take pictures etc or apps it all gets saved to my internal storage on the Phone not the sd card. Also ive been into Camera settings to save on sd card and it is not there sd card if i format to internal storage. But if i format it on phone to portable storage the phone see's it as a external storage and i can save pics and apps etc to sd card but i get the icon and notifications. I wonder if this is a bug on the firmware. Paul

If it's a software bug then it sure is a strange one. Have you tried a different sd card in the phone? And using this SD card in a different phone? Do you get the same results in both the cases?
