Hi guys,
Need some help..i'm using 2GB sd card on my himalaya..installed some apps, mp3's, and games..i noticed that everytime that my himalaya resets, it doesn't detect the files on my sd card..tried checking it on the memory and it was able to detect my memory card but it shows that there's no more free space on it..i only used almost 1 GB of it..when i checked the folders on the sd card, it's empty..well, it could be resolved by just removing then re-attaching the sd card on my himalaya..is there an alternative way to resolve the issue? i've tried other sd cards but still the same thing..and i don't want to disconnect/reconnect the sd card coz i'm afraid that the sd card slot would get damaged.. i also tried to flash different roms on my himalaya but same thing happens..is there any settings that i need to configure?
if you have tried different Cards and different ROM's too..then its some Hardware Issue
have you tried 1GB Cards?

well, i have tried 1 GB when my hima's rom was wm3..but the apps were installed in the phone memory so there's no problem with it..the only prob that i experienced was when i'm downloading something on my sd card thru gprs..an error something like this.. " the device attached on the unit is malfunctioning "
have u made the perfect Hard reset using the (NO, YES, YES way)?
or like i said, could be a hardware problem
man, i'm getting upset with this problem...lol!!
yup!!! tried it a couple of times..it just happens every time my hima would reset or when downloading something via gprs..it also happened to the other hima that i have..coincidence??
wow...i've searched the forums and found out that this is a common issue..hope it could still be resolved..it really sucks pulling out / putting back in the sd card every time the issue occurs..
tried using a 2GB micro sd on my himalaya and it worked!! my hima's now able to detect the sd/files everytime it restarts.. ^_^

can anyone help? ive just brought a 2gb sd card and my o2 xda iis wont read it? is there a patch or software to help?
2gb cards are general ones any pda can read them if u r getting any problem try some other cards on ur pda, if they works repalce the 2gb asap.
tried a 128mb card and it wont read that either...
Make sure the card isn't a SHDC-type of card (most likely not, but one never knows).
Does the phone even see the card, or does it just have problems reading it?
Tried reformatting it in the phone? A known issue is many programs on a stand alone computer will try to format SD cards as drives (floppy or otherwise), which is the wrong formatting for flash devices.
no its not a shdc card.. ive no idea how to format the card in my phone ( a o2xdaiis), it shows the slot in use but no storage card

Well, you can format it from your computer using a card reader and the flash formatter software from panasonic, or you can get an evaluation version of various different programs for the PPC platform that will do it as well.
Google for it, there are a lot of different ones and I've only ever used the panasonic software and a usb card reader.
not hain any luck .. got a flash card programme but my xda wont read any memory cards at all

If the cards are readable with the computer and/or other devices but not in the phone, I would suspect a hardware or potentially software problem with the phone.
Has the phone been able to read any cards at all, or is this the first one you have tried?
Have you tried backup up your data and hard resetting the phone?
tried a 128mb card and the 2 gb.. it reads the slot in use but no memory card ..think the problem may well be the phone... it had mobile 2003 on when i brought it have now upgraded to mobile 6 and still donrt work

Hallo,
i cooked many ROMs and every time i try to flash using SD Card (8GB), but without any sucess, it does not find any ROM to flash!
I renamed the cooked ROM to blacimg.nbh (also tried blackimg.nbh), copy to SD Card, Rebo0t into Bootloader mode (Power + Volume Down), it reboots and search for ROM then change to serial (usb)
I used search but no answer found
What am i doing wrong?

Which file did you rename to blacimg.nbh (that's correct and not blackimg.nbh)? Did you save it to the root of the sd card as suggested (although mine is in a folder and this also works)? Because the steps you are describing are correct and should work (work like that for me). The only thing I can think is that there is possibly something wrong with the file you are using. Is it one of your own cooked roms?

faced the same prob long time ago with a old 4 Gb card...no matter what i've did was not able to flash. However I sugest to reformat your sd card (FAT 32 and not on your pc/laptop, do it with your phone) and then try again after formating, altough it may not help. to be sure that you are not doing wrong try another SD card if possible.
Another option to check your self is flashing with ActiveSync after formating.
Good Luck
p.s. It seems this is happening often if you used your SD card in another device
I'd a similar problem while flashing on my old P3300
To avoid the problem, I'm using a 1gb micro sd dedicate only to rom flashing but with a single partition of 256MB.
dunno if this could help u
cheers
I was having exactly same problem today when I tried to flash - mine's 8gb mini SD which came as a part of package from Orange, U.K.. I ended up using normal USB cable but I was wondering why it didn't work...

Fashing with some big SD >4gb could generate some issue. Use one small dedicated to that and format it first in Fat32.
Hi Carl, thanks for your advice - it actually worked like a charm. I didn't really thing 8gb would cause this problem. I used just a plain 2gb ScanDisk card, formatted in Fat 32 and put only blacimg.nbh following normal procedures - thank you very much again!
My 2 cents
I had a similar problem not long ago with my 8Gb Micro SD that came with the card. I'd re-formatted it via the PC and altered the default settings based on a thread I read on here which was supposed to speed up access to the card. If I remember correctly it was changing the default allocation size.
Long story short, reformatted back to default settings and I was able to flash again from SD. IMO it's moreso the format of the card, not so much it's size as I never had a problem with flashing from card before tweaking it's format settings.
SD Card
I always flash from my SD card.
My latest card is a 16Gb class4 SanDisk, and I must have flashed more than 50 times from this. I always put my blacimg.nbh file in the root of the card.
Size of the card is not important, it just have to be formated in FAT32.
There are several reports that some brands of card do not work very well with Windows Mobile.
One time I purchased a Kingston card that simply would not work.
hi guys I got weird problem- my micro SD card is, or should I rather say was, 4GB. after some ROM installing I observed that its not a 4gb anymore, but 2gb. and its not about collecting trash, its just maximal capacity. Can some1 tell me what to do?
1. I dont have memory card reader in PC so dont ask me do to that okay?
2. should I do sth before installing new rom? of course HardSPL is done. But between installing 2 different roms? I used to copy the installation file Kovsimg.nbh on card and did standard prodecure- switch off the phone etc but I guess its a mistake isnt it?
thanks in advance

keep the card in your phone and connect to pc with usb cable in card reader mode.
Format card.
If still dont work you got a fake/pirate micro sd
How did you format it ?
On the official SD Association web site http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/ there is the following statement:
"SD or SDHC memory card file systems formatted with generic operating system formatting software do not comply with official SD memory card requirements and optimum performance may not be experienced."
The site also provide an SD card formatter program, fully compliant with SD Association specifications, but, unfortunately for you, it runs only on PC, so you need a card reader.
I had the same problem some time ago, with a 2GB full size SD formatted with my iPaq and recognized as 1GB, this tool fixed it.
If you connect your device to PC as a card reader, as stated above, it should work.
Go to Settings / Connections / USB to PC and choose Disk Drive. At least, my Xperia, and many HTC have this control panel.

you are a chinese fake, formatted with device that one of u recommended me and working
thx
Help me from you!
This happens from time to time my phone is not visible the memory card!
After restart everything is ok.
Sory my English !!!
Card is possibly going bad.
I just lost my 16gb San Disk and had to replace it with a Kingston.
I can always format it and get it back, only to have it fail again within a week.
Back it up and reformat it Fat32.
Also check for clean connections and damage to the card or device.
Thanks for the information, I will replace cards

was your problem solved?
I'm probably having the same problem - cant get to memory card, but after i take it out and insert again it works ok for some time and again disappear.
I had the same problem. I format the card, changed my roms many times, but they did not solve the problem. finally I have changed the memory card and the phone works fine with the new card

Tnx for the tip.
I will try changing the card,
it is a 8Gb card i took out of my htc kaiser loaded with useful cabs, I will try a new 4gb card and see if it makes a difference.
I also have the same problem, does changing the memosry card helped?
Yes. Apparently they get corrupt after a time and reformatting does not help.
thanks a lot sir, i'll try to change my card, hoping it'll get better.
Hi, basically I put my 512mb micro sd card in to my X1 and then check if it is working, but it says Not Installed.
I tryed another card and same problem. I have formatted to fat32 and still same problem. But when I put my phone in to Disk Transfer it says insert memory card etc. but on my Windows machine it shows me the memory card.
It seems like software to me, is there anyway of fixing this?
I have also installed the HARD SPL to install a new ROM but unable.
Anyhelp is great
