Storage Card utility? - HTC Excalibur

Hi,
My HTC 621 is having problems 'seeing' my SD Micro card.
It worked flawlessly for about a month, now it won't show up.
I can open it from my desktop, but when it's inserted back to the HTC, i won't show up (or might for a day, then disapears).
I don't have another SD to try.
Any advice?
Are there any storage card utilities out there for the dash?

Im not sure about a utility program for a card but if i was you, backup whats on your card on your computer. In case it is your card.

Some time when you do format to sdcard in a computer this format is diferent to the format that do the phone.try format from phone . OR the sdcard is bad.
good luck

back up the card and format with something like sktools or a similar application. see if that helps. if so, import all your stuff back to the card and you should be all set.

help!!!
my htc s621 sees my storage card, but the folder is named bluetooth. when i clic on it, it says that there is no starage available...when i format it in resco explorer it says that it cant be formatted and to make sure my storage card is not locked....is there a way to unlock it?

sounds like you have bluetooth ftp enabled.
do this..... open up comm manager . press right sift key. select bluetooth, then select ftpm then see if bluetooth file explorer and enable file sharing are checked.... if they are , uncheck them ... see if that helps

ok...i unchecked both of the boxes and then rebooted my phone. i then went into my file explorer and the only thing that changed was there was no folder for my 'Storage Card' but a folder named 'Bluetooth Share' was added and its empty... i tried taking my card out and putting it back in but it still does the same thing.

Sounds like either your storage card is toast( or flaky) or somehow you've formatted it and the format is somehow incompatible with the phone

Integrity check for u SD card ?

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!

All installed apps failing

Hopefully someone on here can help me. I've just been adding speecameras to the Tomtom app on my HD. The first set went on OK, but when I tried adding a second, then starting up the Tomtom app to check all was OK, it came back with the following message:
"The file 'TomTom Navifgator' cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be foind. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
Now I wouldn't mind doing as it says, but I thought I'd try a soft reset first - but when the phone 'booted' back up, all of the other installed apps, also failed, with the same message.
Apps include gsen, HD Tweak, mini gps, among others.
These were all working fine previously.
Anyone have any ideas as I don't want to have to re-install all of them again?
Thanks.
sounds like a corruption has happened somewhere. check your SD card (if that's where you installed them) and look for suspicious characters, or missing files. When it happened to me on my old phone all the directories were suddenly empty!!
I did install them all on the sd card. Had a look and it doesn't appear to be corrupt.

Did you change any settings with HDtweak, have the same problem at this time, only programe I added was HD tweak 5.4.x. Good luck
Maybe the same problem
I've also had a problem like this once on my HD. I remember, I had just installed HDtweak when it appeared first time. I could not find any solution on how to fix it, so I did a Hard Reset...
Hope anyone can fix it.
My HD said that ".NET framework 3.5" is needed (it was installed), and I tried over and over again to reinstall it, but it just gave me another error. Do your device do this?
Had a similar problem, after using Storage Card and HD in USB mode. All of a sudden my Storage Card appeared in Windows and Resco Explorer twice, Storage Card and Storage Card2. Of course none of the programs would want to start, since the path was changed.
I copied all the programs from the storage card to the desktop (with the intention to reformat the card), reset the HD without the storage card, put the card back in - card #2 was gone - and copied all the files back to the card. Solved my problem.
Very odd. Bit the bullet and started re-installing the apps (not as painful as I thought actually) and they all installed, overwriting the existing version - except, similar to Lucas 0511, they seemed to now be on Storage Card2. And a 'normal' (on device) folder had been created, named Storage Card.
All works OK, but I really don't understand it!?!?

I encountered similar problem in the past.
Both My diamond and HD also have got similar problem.
Diamond: suddenly showed up 2 internal memory.
HD: 2 SD card.
One episode, my card was even corrupted.

I think your card was corrupted.
No, not corrupted, but during USB disk drive mode access to the card for other apps is blocked. So if an app on the device (in my case usually Opera) attempts to write to the card during USB disk mode it cannot find it - and hence will create and write into a new Storage Card folder.
After the USB disk drive mode is closed the folder name "Storage Card" is now taken, so the card will automatically be reassigned to "Storage Card2" - and apps installed to Storage Card previously will no longer find it.
Solution: Delete the "new" Storage Card folder, card out, reset, card back in - and all should be back to normal.
I've had this problem too. It'll manifest as all the icons for programs installed on your SD showing up as blanks. When you go into your file manager you'll see Storage Card and Storage Card2. Storage Card2 is your storage card, but because all your shortcuts are looking for stuff on Storage Card, it can't find the data.
One cause may be that for some reason your mail application starts writing attachments to a new, non-existent storage card. All you have to do is delete it. (Make sure you're deleting the right one - you can remove the other if you want to be belt-and-braces safe, but just checking in the file manager is probably good enough.)
I've had this problem a couple of times on my Kaiser. Unfortunately the only way to correct it was to do a hard reset as I couldn't find any solution anywhere. So far it hasn't happened on my HD.

if your device is showing 'storagecard' and 'storagecard2',
remove memory card, now the file explorer will still show 'storagecard',
delete the 'storagecard' and reinsert the memory card,
perform soft-reset.....

memory card cannot be detected?

there have been several times that my memory card suddenly "disconnected" to my phone when I am playing mp3 songs. And I tried to explore it using the file explorer, there was no memory card showed up. And I need to reset the phone in order to make the memory be detected and show up again. Can anybody tell me how to fix this problem?
Have you tried running a filesystem check on the card? Assuming you have Windows, follow these steps: Put it in a card reader attached to your PC. Back up the files on the card (optional). Then, right click on it, and select Properties. Then go to the Tools tab, and click "Check Now..." and check both boxes on the popup window. Run the check and let Windows do its thing, and that should hopefully solve any problems you've been having with it.

SD Card is write Only, how can I Fix?

I can't access the recovery anymore, can't connect it for disk drive. ROM MGR can't open the card either. I have Clockwork Recovery & I don't know what to do to get the card back to normal. Suggestions please? How will I access my Root if it's stored on this card? Don't know what to do......
Thanks in Advance...
Sometimes a file on my sd card will become corrupt, causing it to mount read only. I'm wondering if you meant to say your card was read only? If so, try plugging your card into a computer and copying the contents to the PC. If an error pops up about a file, delete that file from the card and you should be good to go. If no error happens, make a backup of the card, then reformat the card on your PC, pop it into your phone and format it again under settings->sdcard. Then just copy the contents from your PC back onto it.
Since this my first post I can't provide a link. This is a copy and paste from a different forum. Worked for me and I didn't have to reformat:
"I approached it without reformatting. I took the SD card out and loaded it into a card reader and looked at the file system on the card. One of my subdirs in my Music directory was corrupted and I wasn't able to delete the folder.
So I right clicked on the removable drive and went to properties.
From there I clicked on the TOOLS tab and then on the CHECK NOW button for error checking.
I ran this a few times until I was finally able to kill the remaining files in that subdir.
I then reloaded the card and everything seems ok, except I need to reload my music."

how to fix probleme can't write access to external sd on android 6 HTC M8

hi to all
how to fix probleme can't write access to external sd on android 6 HTC M8
i try many tutorial but no one work with apk with xposed
is there any solution
I'm not clear: Are you trying to grant SD card write permission to xposed? Or tried to use xposed to fix the SD card write problem?
Not personally an xposed user. But if you have general issue with other apps not being able to write to SD card, I might be able to help.

Changing your backup location in TB is a bit convoluted, and a pain in the rear. I just had to do this on another device a couple weeks ago, and had to fumble with it for a while before getting it right.
In TB, press Menu, select Preferences, then select "Backup folder location". Tap "Click to Change" (auto detect never seems to "see" the SD card). Then you will see different file system options. Honestly, I don't completely understand the differences between them. I picked "DocumentProvider storage". Then I tapped the 3-line menu button on the upper right. Selected the SD card, and tapped "Select" button on the lower right. After that, I was able to "see" the SD card in TB and read/write to the SD card.
Now, your description of apps not detecting the SD at all, or saying it writes to the SD, but no files show up, is a bit more worrisome. It suggests more than a permissions problem. Might make sense to format the SD card. Be sure to copy/backup any important data on the SD (if that is needed or even possible at this point) before formatting. Since formatting will erase all data on the SD.

The first time you try to save a file (or create folder) in ES Explorer, does the file selector appear (and lets you select the SD card)?

Strange. I haven't had this problem. Do you happen to have another SD card to try?
Stock ROM, or any mods?
