Hi, guys!
I've already created one theme, but it wasn't helpful. So, I create new theme here. The problem is very serious.
I have some problems with my WP7 device (HTC 7 PRO):
Yesterday I disassembled my device to change the memory card. The aim was to have more capacity (16Gb). Everything was fine. After I've mounted new card to my device, it was boot, but couldn't recognize new microSD card.
I supposed that I should made hard reset. I made it. After device rebooted I noticed that it couldn't recognize my Sim card, but with memory card everything was OK. Then I tried to reboot my device for 3-5 times. It wasn't helpful. Then I made another hard reset, but without any success.
I changed back to the original microSD card.
After that, I've flashed 7389 ROM and then 7390 through the Zune Update.
As a result device still can't recognize any sim-cards (I've tried 3 different).
Help me, please!
Updated: it seems that I've founded the description of my problem at MS. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2450831/en-us
Can anyone maybe try to phone them and get some information what should I do?... My English isn't good. I can donate you via PayPal if it will be helpful.
Upd2: I've bought the phone at clove.co.uk. They says that the phone isn't locked to any operator.
Sounds like you disconnected/ damaged a cable while swapping memory cards. I'd put it back to sock and contact HTC and play dumb about what I did.

No-no, it's all OK with the cable. The problem described at the link above, at Microsoft.
The problem is in card (MicroSD). The phone can't reconize the card as official, that's why sim-card is not reconized by phone.
The solution is to get MicroSD card that'll recognized by phone as official...

Does anybody has HTC 7 Pro? Can you post screens that are made in SPL mode. Or just write, what do you see in SPL mode.
I have:
PC92100 SS-BC (4K)
SPL-1.24.2250.0(117856)
MicroP(LED) 0x06
TOUCH A1(v10,20)
SD SANDISK 7580MB
Partition Info-v211v423
I've seen that in another pepole's phones:
SD SANDISK 7580MB Class0
Do you have any differences?
How to get to SPL mode:
Turn off your device.
Hold vol down key and press power button. Don't relese keys before you see an 4-colored screen.

I don't know why, but after another hard reset without card and reset with card everything go ok. I've also dismouned and mounted cable once again. Finally, I have 16Gb card in my phone.
Thank you all for the help!

I am using O2 XDA IIs PPC 2003 SE.
Now when I insert my SD Card 2 GB, the OS does not recognize it.
(It was good before.)
I've tried with another 256 SD Card, same result.
Those SD Cards are working well with my Card Reader plugged into my PC.
Anyone could help me please?
Thanks in advance.
I'm sorry I don't know.
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..
Been using this 8gb microsd for a over 2 months and never had a problem was always flashing different roms until last week while i was running sense 2.04 the card just suddenly stopped working completely!
no phone can read it! tried it on a few nokia phones and my htc magic with no luck!
tried the card reader to see if it needs format but the reader can't read it and the reader does work i tried it with other cards...
Does anyone or have an idea what I can do to get it working again? I just want to get my photos on it even if i somehow have to format i can always use a recovery software to get the files back but it's not getting recognized... probably a hardware issue? anyone with any help would be appreciated !
Had the same problem, managed to copy stuff off onto pc but cannot re-format the card.
It says it is locked.
Not really the same thing... I can't even copy my files because it doesn't get detected at all! and now just tried a different card reader so again it doesn't seem to be the reader that the issue... could it be truly dead?
I've had that happen on my G1.
Grab an Ubuntu live disk, boot from it and then plug in your memory card reader with your microsd. It should read it and then you can copy your files over to your HDD. It shouldnt be too hard. If you have an ext partition it will also read that and you can copy the contents over to your hdd. Then using Gparted, you can repartition your sd card and then copy your stuff back over.
this happened to me about 6 weeks back - Desire and WinXP would not mount the card at all, manged to mount it through ubuntu but only got a couple of files (photos) back off the card. Back to the 4Gb as supplied sd just now
Hmm just tried ubuntu guys and didn't seem to get any luck... any other ideas? thx.

I got same problem with froyo, my card is dead. I tried with all methods but no luck.
Yea i thought i would just post that my desire has also killed my 8gb class 2 memory card, no computer will properly recognize it. Cannot format it or anything.
If i brought a 16gb class 6 do you think the phone will kill that as well, just dont wana waste $80.
When this happened to my 4GB card. I booted the phone into recovery mode. Selected 'MS-USB-Toggle' and the PC then picked it up. Was able to copy photos off the card and reformat it.
Give that a try?
If you still don't come right, I think it is safe to say the card is dead. May have just been a faulty card, rather than the phone killing it. (Don't see how that would even be possible, anyway)
put your micro sd in a sd-card adaptor and format via digital-camera.
camera can format killed cards.

Hmmm, not so sure about that. Normally a dead card is a dead card. End of.
However give it a try - will be surprised if it works.
To add another phone to the list: my old HTC Hero toasted my 16GB SDHC.
Yep when I got my first desire it cooked a 16Gb Sandisk card... worked fine for almost 18 months in my Touch HD... less than a week in the Desire... toast!
Me too.
My Desire seems to have fried my 16Gb Sandisk card, although I'm still trying to work out if it's a genuine card as it looks different to my other sandisk cards but the seller assures me it's real. Lost my holiday photos!!!
Just bought another 16Gb card, will see how that goes.
Going to email HTC and see what they say.

I second that, they do particularly well
You can also try a low level format tool
I have used this one before - oldie but goodie - http://hddguru.com/software/2006.04.12-HDD-Low-Level-Format-Tool/ but there are others
this has hapened to my lexar 16gb card.
Ihave a rooted desire; I went into the recovery menu, formatted the card to fat32 100%.
I then plugged it into my w7pc. did a low level format, dskchk-check and fix bad blocks.
then reformatted to ext: 512 and the rest fat32 in my device, been working ever since.

just an update from my end... I have tried everything possible card is actually dead hardware wise nothing software wise can fix it, R.I.P. my sd card
Hi everybody,
I posted a similar post in one of the threads, but I did not get any replies. So I thought I might as well post a new thread.
I really hope that you can help me out.
My HTC Desire doesn't recognize the sd card (Samsung micro SDHC 4gb) that is in it. It also doesn't recognize another sd card (SanDisk micro SD 2gb).
I've tried to follow up the steps 'chippieuk' has listed in this thread.
Everything went fine, until I reached steps 8 and 12, because my pc doesn't recognize the sd card either. (I've tried to put it in two other computers and another phone, but it hasn't been recognized in any of them. I've also tried to use another sd card in the sd card readers and adapter, and that sd card was recognized, but it was a SanDisk micro SD 2gb.)
Here's some background information.
Something like 7 months ago I rooted my HTC Desire (in the process of rooting I partitioned the sd card) and I put custom ROM 'opendesire v1.5' on it. I was satisfied with it, so I never changed it since then. But my HTC Desire stopped working properly something like 6 weeks ago. Every time I switched it on, it went into bootloop. So two weeks ago I did a hard reset via 'hboot' and my phone seemed to work again, but then I discovered that the sd card wasn't being recognized and that has been the problem ever since.
I've, btw., (temporarily) unrooted my phone with a RUU (android 2.1). I've not yet upgraded it to android 2.2, because I want my phone to function well first and I will probably root it again soon (if I will succeed with my sd card etc.)...
So... Have any of you got an idea? Could it be something with the readers that I've used (that they can't read micro sdhc cards)? Or because I once partitioned it? I really don't know...
Once again, I would really appreciate it if you could help me.
Thanks.
Regards
If nothing is picking it up then you have no partition on the SD card, or the wrong one. Format it with Windows to FAT32. If Windows picks it up, then Android should pick it up. If it isn't picking it in Android after the format, go to Settings > Storage and see if it's mounted in there, if not, then mount it, if you can't mount it, then it's either a problem with the rom or a problem with the SD card.
Okay, thanks. I'll try that.
Is it, btw., possible to get the data that's on it back?
Not if you format it. To be honest, the only way you can get data off it anyway is by getting it to mount, which it isn't doing.
Yeah, true... I should have made a backup. ;p
Okay, I just connected my phone with its sd card to my computer.
It actually shows a 'Removable Disk' in 'Computer',
but I cannot access it when I try to format it.
So I'm going to try to format it now, using an adapter.
Let me know how it goes
Hmmm.. When I put the micro sd card in an adapter and insert that into my computer, it sort of reacts to it. The icons at the bottom right sort of move, but that's all. When I look into 'Computer', there are no removable disks. I really don't know how to access it..
Plug it into your PC. Go to start, right click on my computer and click on manage. Click on disk management on the left and see if the SD card loads up
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Okay, so I tried what you said, but the SD card doesn't load up.. I also tried it with that other SD card I talked about, just to check again if it really isn't because of the adapter, but that SD card was recognized.
Put it in your phone and loads up Android. By default, if Android detects a non compatible SD card then it will ask you to format it. If you don't get this option then I guess it's buggered and you'll need to get a new one.
It appears to be a USB brick....

Hello,
friend got her hands on a htc desire. She let some small shop unlock it before really testing it. Now we got the following problem:
The SD Card doesnt work. At first everything seemed to work okay. She took 52 pictures, even installed on app on the sd card. Then it basically froze.
We can delete half of the pictures and make some new ones. After the phone is rebooted all pictures are gone. Apps cannot be installed on the sd card.
If I remove the sd card and put it in my Nexus One everything works fine. New pictures survive the reboot, old ones get deleted.
When she puts the sd card in her desire, everything is back to 52 pictures and 1 app on it.
You cannot copy stuff like update.zip on the sd card, because the phone will only notice 52 pictures on it... Rom Manager has a "fix" option which doesnt work and partition it didnt help it - if it did anything at all.
We even bought a new 8 gb one, same problem. Some other people reported the same problem in forums, but there is never an answers what did fix it.
Its S-OFF with AlphaRev.
Sadly we both have no idea how to fix it and no android development skills. My plan would be to go back to RUU to see if the problem is still there. If yes, just get a new one from HTC. If no, unlock it again.
Sadly when it comes to roms and the "simple guides" we fail to reproduce even the first steps. "Go to fastboot and enter command XYZ" - yet we cannot enter any commands there.
Any help is welcome.
Can you connect your phone to pc in adb mode? Or simpler: what happened when you are connecting your phone to pc? Does it ask about mass storage mount? Is it in debug mode? If not, I think that it is classical USB-Brick, else... I don't know what is wrong...
I had also a problem with my sd-card.
Put it in a card reader and make checkdisk with windows solved my problem.
Weird, my answer disappeared.
When we connect it to a pc, we can delete files, format it, run scandisk, copy stuff on it. Everything works fine. When we put it back into the phone, the old 52 pictures and nothing else is on it.
And I thought I was the only one…
My problem is as follows, I had with my 1st Desire a 8gig Class 4 Transcend SD card which was perfect and connecting to and from my home and work pc was effortless.
Then my Motherboard burnt out on that phone sent it back and when I got the new one I put my 4gig Class 2 SD which I got with the phone back in and no issues.
A few days later I bought a new 8gig Kingston Class 4 SD ( I lost my Transcend SD card) and after 2 days I would get “SD mounted as read only” so formatted the SD copied my data back to my 8gig Kingston card which worked fine on my PC but the same problem persisted when I put it back in my phone. I was using ADW launcher and kept getting the same errors all the time, then I switched to Launcher Pro and since then I have had no SD card problems.
Also when I was using standard HTC sense I also never had a problem, I hope this is of some help.
I rooted my htc desire using Unrevok 3 and also tried to partition sd by mini tool home version . unfortunately after partition i cannot access or recognize sd in my desire.
Still not making any progress, ..
This morning, my phone was normal. Using apps, making calls, no problems.
Then I noticed my ring tones and my notification tones wouldn't play. Since they are stored on the Micro SD card, I thought a reboot might solve the problem. After rebooting, I get the message "SD Card Damaged". So I took it out from my phone, plugged it into the computer through a USB MicroSD reader. It detects it, and from there I can see all the files stored on there.
I decided to run a Windows (7) error check test, as that usually fixes any sort of SD problem I've had. The check ran through successfully, saying it found some problems and fixed them. After that, I put it back in the phone, boot it up, but it still wouldn't access the card. Most of my apps are stored on there, so I wanted it fixed. I took out the card and ran it through windows error check once more, only this time, I checked the box "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" and hit start. Two hours later, I notice the progress bar hasn't budged from what I can only assume was 60-65%. I decided to hit "cancel" and look up some alternative methods.
Except as soon as I hit "Cancel", something went terribly wrong. The computer no longer acknowledged I had a MicroSD card inserted. I removed the USB adapter, removed the mSD, reinserted the mSD into the USB adapter, replugged the adapter in and -- same result. I restarted the computer, and while that cycle started, I placed the card back into the phone to see if it would detect it. No luck. By this time, the computer had restarted, and I tried to reinsert the card. It detects the USB Adapter, but it's as though there was no card inserted.
At this time, I scoured the web and countless forums (including these @ xda) with no avail. I tried nearly 10 different applications built solely for data extraction, but they all had the same problem: they couldn't detect the MicroSD card. My fellow I.T. coworker suggested using an Ubuntu Live CD and try their diagnostic tools; it couldn't detect it either.
Here are the specs of my setup:
Phone: HTC Desire CDMA (USCC)
Rom: Phoenix 1.4 BravoC
Card: Samsung 8GB Class 2 MicroSD (stock from US Celluar)At this point, all I'm really concerned about it just retrieving my lost data. I have important sentimental photos, and more importantly, I have important flash backups from my stock rom that I would need if I want to return my phone for warranty. Physically, the card is undamaged. No dust, no cracks, no wear & tear. Hours of googling "SD card not detected; data recovery" leads me to several unanswered problems and fake websites baiting computer illiterate people into downloading malicious software.
I've heard of solutions that involve sending a card in to have repaired, but in turn, shelling out a couple hundred. Now I'm not stupid when it comes to computers, but I'm not necessarily a genius either. I've tried several ways to circumvent this lockout issue, and I can't find any way to undo a process from the Windows error checker. Hell, I can't find any cases or threads pertaining to people having bigger problems because of the error checker.
So I call out to anyone who can help. I can buy a new card, no problem. I just need my data back. It's crucial for my phone and important for me and my memories.
Any suggestions?
Hi
My phone:
Disire HD (GSM)
Android 2.3.3
CyanogenMod 7.0.0 RC2
I had the same problem as you a few weeks ago(my phone wasn't rooted) ....
Tried different methodes to get my data back, they all didn't work.
The problem is not the phone or any app on it neither your roms are the problem,
searched the internet... and came to the solution that I was not alone with this problem. they assume this is an hardware fould in the SD card ( btw its weird that its an Samsung SD, didn't you thought the same I still dont understand...)
Anyway, my solution was going back to the shop where I got the phone (Belcompany NL) and ask there solution for the problem i lost all my pics and other importand crap haha..
They didn't had a solution or something, just giving me a new one.. so I got a new SD Card (for free )
But lost all my data
You know if a partition messes up, which it has done because you didn't let it finish, there is like 0% chance that you can recover any data on your SD card. You should of backed your card up before you attempted to even start doing a disk check. As for getting your SD back up and running, you can try gparted live cd and see if it will detect it in that. If so just repartition it, but next time, let it do a thorough disk check and finish. Checks can take hours and hours because it is doing something. Just backup your SD card frequently.
I've decided to purchase a new card rather than hassle with unrooting my phone for the sake of going back to the USCellular repair (on just a whim that they may replace the card).
I've heard that I need to be careful when choosing a brand of MicroSD cards. Transcend is a no go. But what about this: An 8GB A-DATA Class 6 MicroSD card?
From what I've gathered, A-DATA is a reputable brand, and it shouldn't really cause problems in my HTC Desire, right?
