Storage card not installed ! help ! - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Hi all, after formating my storage using HP usb tool (yeah not a good idea) , the soft froze and now WM does not 'see' the storage card
if i use mass storage, my computer does not see it
using active sync, there is no storage card too
hard reset and nand format does not solve the problem, it stuck on formating nand...
is there anyway to initialize partition, check the nand ?
if you think it is impossible to recover it, let me know...
Thank you !

try this: get ur file system on internal storage in raw format. then try hard reset. once same thing has happened to me. i connected the phone as storage device, put it on formating, using the default tool in windows pc nd pulled the cable before formatting completed. and after that hard formatting was working.
ps: do it at ur own risk

Hi !
"get ur file system on internal storage in raw format"
How to do that ?
under windows mobile, i can t see my storage card, in settings/system/memory/storage card : Not installed !
thanx for the reply

USB removable disk

Hi... is there any method to make trinity able to let the PC recognise the Mini SD card as a storage device without the installation of Active sync? Happened to see Zinc is able to have option to enable the device to make the storage card as a removable disk without the installation of Active Sync.

SDCard problem

Hi
I have a real problem with my SD card
1)in "MiniTool Partition Wizard" it shows "bad disk".
2)when i try checkdisk it says "file system is raw".
3)i am not able to format it because it says "your SDcard is write protected.
This happens after i was trying to copy some files to the SDcard but it just freezes so i unplugged it and that's it. it doesn't work any more.
can any one help me
which card is best for EVO 4G?
id say its pretty much toast...
BUT, id try SDFormatter, unlikly it will work, but try...
if that fails, theirs HDD Regenerator (which does work on SSD's/Flash to an extent... IE VERY specific issues can be fixed, and its not free ) or some off the shelf Low Level Format tool

Try it in old DOS mode.. you can use Ontracks Data Eraser , or Active Kill Disk or anything else to Erase all Data's and Sectors. After that, you can Format your Card normally in Windows.. hope so ;-)
Or .. use Linux to Kill Partition on your SD Card and finally you can Format the SD Card in Windows... good Luck...

Hmm..
BTW, have try you shut down the phone after format the SD ?
And do check again..
If the bad disk occur, in Win7 it will automatically recommend to do scan disk to fix it. If is not your SD is fine actually..

ive tried to check in another computer and the pc search for drivers and install it, and it works just like the normal, it detects both internal/external, but my pc still cant detect it, ive uninstalled the MiniTool Partition Wizard and samsung drivers on my pc, and then i plugged in my phone, my pc installed the drivers, but it still cannot detect the internal sd, maybe the MiniTool Partition Wizard have some remnants after ive uninstalled it, but im happy to know that there is nothing wrong with my sd (1.7gb), but i cant reformat my pc, because its owned by the company where i worked, i just hope that it can be fixed

I don't think recovery from CWM can help this as it just restores "files" from nandroid where partition is another independent thingy. U did partition the sd card. So re-partitioning should be the solution to it.

Oh~ meaning that ur PC can detect external sd via USB cable? Maybe u can try Dual Mount SD. I am using it to connect both internal and external sd to PC in one shot. PC and ur device are enable to read sd cards simultaneously.

yes, my pc can detect my external sd, i tick usb debugging and when i connect my CP to the PC there is a notification in my CP and ill just have to click it to connect, normally it would detect both my internal and external sd, but after using the minitool partition wizard to make partition to my 1.7gb sd, my pc can no longer detect my 1.7gb sd (external because its swapped), and ive tried something, ive update my kies, and connect my phone with usb debugging untick, it detects my phone (GT-i8150 in my computer) with internal and external sd card. but still when im connecting with usb debugging on, only 1 sd card is detected, i guess my pc detects it as bad disk because of the mini tool partition wizard, but i dont know how to revert it, ive already uninstall the mini tool... but it doesnt help

Wow~ fortunately. glad to hear that.
im facing same problem
I read abt it that bootIt cn be work in this situation, bt dont knw how to use it..
i usually used minitool pw to manage sd card, nothing's wrong. It seems you need use minitool power data recovery to recover the data on your bad disk.
same

i got the bad disk error too messing with M.T.Partition Wizard and link2sd, but neither M.T.P.W. or the prompt commands to format the sd from pc worked so far..
The pc sees the sd for 1-2 seconds and ask to format it, then it s not accessible any more, and the formatting attempts (both from the pop-up message and prompt) results in a "cyclic redundancy check error" and fail..
i dont mind losing the data, i just want to keep using that sd
explained here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72729502&postcount=38933
so, did u fix it anyway/found a guide to use bootit ?
thanks a lot

Damaged SD Card

Hello,
Yesterday while downloading stuff, my phone suddenly sent me a notification that my SD card is broken. I can access everything in Recovery somehow. What I've tried :
- un-mounting & mounting again
- re-flashing
- factory reset
- format in recovery
And everything that I listed above failed. When I plug my card into PC it doesn't open. My whole window is not responding. I've tried mounting it on my older phones (Nokia 2730 & LG KP500), and only Nokia readed my card, but I couldn't do anything because it was password protected. Every possible password I had for my old SD card wasn't the right one. I've already googled but nothing mentioned before helped. When I formatted in recovery it only froze. When I switched ROMs to more "original" one, when I plugged my SD card it was automatically removed. Also my SD card is EMTEC 16 gb Class 4, and just in case I have my old 1 gb sd card lying around.
There is a possibility that your SD card is damaged..........one way of trying to cure it is to somehow try to make it work on your computer and Format it............or just try to format it on the phones that it works on

Going to try format on my old Nokia. But I was thinking, if I can get my SD card to work in Recovery, isn't there anyway to connect my phone to my PC and then try to format?
EDIT: Tried formatting on Nokia 2730 - it was failure. I couldn't because of the password.

In recovery, I should press mount usb right?
Yes
I did as you said and in Partition Wizard it showed me that the whole disk is used, file system was bad disk, and type was logical.
When I tried to format it said "Windows was unable to continue formating".

Internal Disk & MMC Gone !!

Firstly Happy New Year to all on the forum, my phone has just had a disaster can anyone help please.
My AT&T Glide crashed today in town, and on reboot I couldnt see the MMC 32gb card, which I thought had been corrupted. Well it was, when I put in another 16gb card the phone wont mount it, then I noticed that the internal usb disk isnt mounted either or even recognised ??
Hows this happened and can it be restored simply do I have to download a new dev rom and re flash from the 1.18gb I have left shown on phone as I cant put it to MMC card.
My phone has custom firmware Osimood.0122.RUXKJ5 which has been great up until this MMC sd card crash.
Any help gratefully received as its my work phone and I need it up and running asap.
Many thanks
Paul
Can you boot into cwm? I assume you have it installed. See if you can access the internal sd card from there. If yes then most probably a simple flash will fix everything, or even a nandroid backup assuming you have that as well. If no its not seen in CWM, then I do not know someone else will have to chime in, seems like something is very wrong for it to suddenly lose its memory. Could be some type of controller our buffer that went.

Thank you for your reply, I went in to CWM and can see an update file on a the sd card so technically if I get the Osimood zip file I could reinstall the system but I am unsure which disk it is seeing this file from I dont think its the external MMC or internal USB so how to I get the file on a storage area that the phone can see.
On the phones settings, under storage pane, USB now has the option to Format USB storage, this has appeared since mounting the system files etc within CWM as most were set to unmounted, but it would not let me mount the sd card as far as I could tell from CWM, when I go to update system menu the option to install update.zip but which disk is this as I could not mount any disk from CWM to view mounted files such as directories etc.
I am in the process of recovering the MMC card that the phone crashed so not all is lost, but I am pretty sure there were files in the Glides USB storage that I would like to save if possible, if I format this storage I am unlikely to recover whats on it, but would a straight reinstall of Osimood format this disk anyway ?
One last question does anyone know what the option "download" is on the power off menu on Osimood it is along side recovery, reboot and power off etc.
ATB
Sorry one last thing I have noticed, when in storage settings SD card has the option to mount when selected it says preparing sd card but nothing actually happens the notice just goes and I'm back to square one, USB has no option in the menu to mount just to format.
I hope that the above is significant in what has happened here.
Thanks
Boot into CWM, enable "mount USB storage", then use a PC to check the internal storage for filesystem problems.
If that doesn't fix it, next step is to factory reset I'm afraid.
Hi everyone, thank you so much for all the assistance I have been at work and therefore forced to format the internal disk which once down the ext sd card became visible again ??? once reinstalling the apps again all is well again, my biggest issue is that all the sd card app back ups failed me as it wiped the ext sd card the internal was wiped on reformat so had to start again.
Note to self back up apks to computer is much safer the ext sd card.
Just hope it doesnt happen again the apk shopper was the culprit that crashed it all.
Many thanks brilliant forum.
