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.

Anyone could help me please?

However.. you've come to the wrong place if you want help.. people here seem to have an aversion to actually helping people out.. don't get me wrong, there are some very talented people that call this forum 'base', but they are understandably busy.. and the other's who hang just don't answer **** unless it suits them..
You are more likely to get the answer "read the wiki" which isn't the most helpful thing in the world. Even those of us who try others to help despite our knowledge being somewhat wanting.. just in the hopes of being seen to be at least trying, aren't deemed to be worth giving an answer to.
I suggest these two forums.

Try soft resetting the device, poke the stylus in the reset hole and once the device re-boots it should see the card, you will not loose information performing a soft reset - Mike
thanks guys.
Hi, I've also have a sort of problem like yours. I tried soft reset n it actually works. But sometimes my BA still can't read my SD. I've tried format my SD n even upgrade my ROM. It seems that the problem is in hardware. I don't know what to do anymore
U have probably what I also have.. a faulty SD card reader or a bad soldering (welding)...
Last night I dissambled my BA n I found out that the screws around SD card reader were loose. I've tightened them up n so far I don't have any problem with SD card. But I've still exprerienced problem with my screen keep active when my BA was pressed even though I've locked the device n power off. I don't know what to do anymore. Any suggestion?
Problem already solved.
It was because tiny plastic dirts on the SD slot.
Once I cleaned it up, it's working as before.
Thanks to you all. What a nice forum we have here.
I had similar problems with a 1GB card. Formatting it in a PC-based card reader fixed it. Remember not to select quick format.

It will work if the card is *NOT* a SDHC card.
I found my 4 gig card on ebay, topram is the brand, and it works fine as it is a non-SDHC card.
Sdcard not reconized
HI TO ALL..
I had installed miopocket 4.0 on my VDO Dayton PNA6000-WINCE 5 but
because of problems with Garmin XT I had to uninstall but the uninstall
did not do the best for me, now my SD slot dont read any sdcard i think
its corrupted registry and i dont have access to usb active sync only
have MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) when i connect to usb(no data
transfer). How can i access my resident flash(INTERNAL MEMORY) to edit
registry,change usb mode to activesync or something else???, i think sdmemory.dll is making
load problems.
Tnx in advance!
To have access to registry use TotalCommander or SKTools
but i dont have access to system, sdslot is not functional and i cant install active sync driver just mtu in device manager..
I recently upgraded from the Tmobile 6.0 ROM to Rickwyatt's v24 Opera Rom. I followed the instructions posted for "Newcomers" by Mikey1022. Everything work great I really like the 6.1 ROM. But, the Dash no longer sees the 1 GB SD storage card. It should be showing up as "Storage Card" in File Explorer", right? I've looked in every folder and don't see it anywhere. I don't see it on the Dash screen or over the PC using ActiveSync. Oddley enough, when I enable Bluetooth explorer I can see a Storage Card listed in the Menu of File Explorer. When I click on the Storage Card link it takes me to a Bluetooth folder, not what I'm looking for.
I've been using this card for a couple of years and it was working fine before the 6.1 upgrade. I have since tested it in a desk top and in a Verizon Razer phone, it works properly at both places.
I reviewed some other missing storage card type threads in this forum, but never found a solution that works for me. I've even tried formating the card, both as FAT 16 and FAT32. Niether worked, I'm back to FAT 16 now. Some forum suggestions were to reformat the card in the Dash using Resco Explorer, but how do you do that when you can't see the card?
I tried reloading V24 Opera, didn't work. I've tried all varieties of reboots, soft resets, hard resets. Nothing works.
Any suggestions? What am I missing? Is this an issue with V24, should I try another ROM?
Try the Kavana Rom to see if it's the rom or the card?
When you plug your phone to active sync, can you see your card through that?
That is weird because I am running version 24 and it seems to be working fine with me well my storage card seems fine...
Same as jdog never had probs on v. 24
OK, I tried the Kavana ROM. I still can't see the SD card. No, I can't see the card through ActiveSync either.
I guess I'm in the market for a new card, dang it.
Who is the manufacture of it?
i have 4 cards, all different brands and they all show up in v24. maybe a new card would be best...you can get a 1gb for about $5 now
I had a card do that before, so I put it in another phone and it was recognized. I ended up reformatting it and it started working again on my phone.
I bought a great big 2 gb card today, stuck it in, and nothin. Still could not see the storage card in file explorer. The card is a PNY.
So, I flashed back to the T-Mobile 6.0 ROM. Got it from their website. Anyway, tried the old 1 gb card and the new 2 gb card. Still cannot see a storage card in File Explorer or through ActiveSync.
My problem is apparently not with the ROM. I am doing (or did) something wrong. As I said earlier the card was working prior to upgrading to the 6.1 ROM. Is there a setting somewhere to tell the Dash it has a storage card in it. I thought it as a plug and play type thing.
Could it be a hardware issue? I really don't want to crack the shell open looking for loose wires or something.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
PNY cards a crappy. Sandisk it my friend.
The original 1 gb card is a Sandisk.
Both cards are working. And I guess the roms are working to.
What else could be going wrong?

Have you tryed putting any of your cards into a card reader on a computer to see if recognised 'just going over every possibility your cards may be corrupted?'
Sorry just read your post again and it was recognised.
Strange as i have multiple cards of make and sizes and there all recognised.
Long shot try some compressed air. Maybe some crud got in the slot for the mini SD.
take the card...stick it in a pc/laptop and use something like partition magic or paragon to format the card to fat16 or 32. once formatted see if the phone sees it.
other than that...buy a better card...kingston have never failed me nor has sandisk
edit: oh yea...when you format it, make sure you give it a drive letter (such as f...if i dont do that, the phone wont see the card.
Hi there.
I'm having a very strange problem and could not solve it so far.
I have a T-mobile MDA III. When I wanted to install a new 4GB micro SDHC, I downloaded the patch, ran it on my MDA, rebooted, inserted the memory and it all worked perfectly.
Then I got an HTC P3300 (for spare) and wanted to do the same. Installed the patch, rebooted, inserted the memory... but the phone does not recognise it.
I than ran the "go back", rebooted, inserted the old 2GB memory but now the phone no longer recognises it.
So, the MDA works ok with 4GB memory.
P3300 does not recognise 4GB memory and after "going back" does not recognise 2GB memory.
Without memory the P3300 is pretty much useless.
Can anyone please shed some light on this, please....
Thanks.

This is precisely where I got the .cab's.
And in my MDA everything works fine.
On the P3300 the 4GB memory is not recognised.
And after installing 'back2original', no memory at all is reconised, not even the 2 GB microSD (not SDHC) that I used before.
One more detail:
on MDA I have WM6
on P3300 I have WM5
Is there something specific to WM5 to teawk about?
Thanks.

my advice is to try flashing to a differant rom..

Yeah, I fear that's the only solution.

I've been looking for the official WM6 rom from HTC but it no longer is on the site. Where can I find it?

Have you tried reading the card on the PC? See how it's partitioned and what kind of partition it is. Usually, you should use FAT.
I had this issue before (on my Polaris) and a format helped.

The microSDHC was (is) formated FAT32 with only one partition. On the PC it worked fine.
Anyway, I flashed a ROM (could not find HTC original WM6 though...), applied the patch and now the 4Gb micro SDHC is working.
Still, I could not explain why, in the first try, the old 2Gb microSD stopped working.
I recon it's working now?

Yep... but it was a real pain in the royal a**...
So I have searched for this error and no one seems to have an answer that fits my problem. I got an error after booting that stated SD card unexpectedly removed and gave me a triangle with an exclamation point in the center
the card works fine
it will mount up perfectly from recovery, i even pushed several roms to it and tried (cyanogen, RR, and SkyRaider) all three worked beautifully, but as soon as I boot up BAM "SD card unexpectedly removed" and I can't access anything
the computer reads it just fine so I am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with the card, also with it reading in recovery it seems there is nothing wrong with the phone
is this a problem with ROMs?
I could try to do a factory reset and see if that works... but its really annoying :\
any help?
I would try reformatting the card on your PC. The card may have a bad sector that the PC and Recovery ignore. The phone OS tends to be a little more picky about those sort of things.

You are on the right path - don't forget, a good practice is to back up your SD card to your PC regularly.
Why? If (when really) the SD goes wonky, you have a PC backup of the card, and you can get another SD, format it on the PC, load the backups you made, and be back in business in short order.

My solution was to format and start over, that was the only thing that worked for me
I've gotten this a few times and it is a PITA because it resets all the notification sounds and also the phone reboots. Once it does it, the only way I can get it to work is to remove the card, put it in the PC, let Win7 do a fix and repair errors and then it will work. I tried removing and reinserting, and it would mount the card and immediately give me the 'sd card unexpectedly removed' message.
I tried reformatting, and the sd card worked for a while and then I got the 'unexpectedly removed" message again after a few days. The last time it gave me that message, I just did the repair errors thing again and it's been working without fail for about 4 days now. It seems like it's going to be an ongoing thing though.
I've been googling like a mad person trying to find a real fix for this. I saw a thread on Android central where they guy said he put his wife's card in his phone and it did the same thing; but worked fine in hers. He mentioned it might be related to the 2.2 OTA update. My problem did start after that update.
In another forum thread, someone posted that they bought a new card, and it gave them the same message. So it doesn't appear to be a bad card; which is what I originally thought. I'd hate to buy a new one and have same issue (i have a 16gb card currently).
(sorry for long post)
I have the same problem! I'm using a Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 2. Previously i've been running Froyo 2.2 over the phone with a 16 GB microSD Card without problem. Later i've been using a 2 GB microSD Card and works fine, but now i'm runnin' Gingerbread ROM From verizon with 16 GB microSD Card and the messages "SD Card unexpectedly removed" don't stop.... the card works fine over other phones... even the stereo of my car can read perfectly the card's content.
I don't know if this is a problem with the update or what????
I don't think in the versions of "Bad sectors" because i check everthing and the problem persist.
The problem appears when i'm playing music... later of that the problem appears at the camera, the file explorer or another app that tries to read the SD Card.
I reboot the phone and works fine but after a couple of minutes the same [email protected]$%&t appears again....
I'm tired of reading forums telling me that is a problem with the sectors... that is a LIE!
no matters the class of the card because i've tried with Class 2, Class 4 and works fine.
This night i'll go to the store that solds me that coursed card to change it!
if tomorrow my problem was solved i been writing at this same forum!

I do not think someone saying it is bad sectors means they are lying.
I think they are merely trying to help you determine what the problem could possibly be.

did you format the card and try again as suggested earlier? That usually clears up any issues with sd cards unless they're fubar'd. Just make sure you back your card up first.
Whenever my card does this I put it into my Windows computer, right click on the card and go to properties/tools/error checking/ and check both boxes and let it run. It fixes my issues every time without formatting the card.
I had that problem a while back with one of Verizon's updates after 2.2. Reformatted card. worked fine in other phones but still said same thing everytine I put it back in the dinc. Ended up getting a new SD card then all was fine.

If you have an ext extension on your sd use G-Parted (google it) to format your ext2/3/4 partition.
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

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
