I'm having a problem to delete any file from my storage card in my Tilt, which started just a couple of days ago: everytime I delete some files, they are again re-created after some seconds. It seems to happen to any type of file. I even tried to power off the Tilt, then take the card out of its slot, change the card contents in the PC using the card reader, then plugging the card again in Tilt and restarting - no change. The old files are still there and the new ones not.
Any ideas???
Thanks.
Ummm are the files actually on the card , or on the phone ?
Worst case , save what you want and re-format the card.
Make bether name on youre post, how to does not make it kinda obviouse what the post contains. What files are you trying to delete? Liek is it a program or a folder with perhaps some .dll`s in it?
OK. I think the problem is really in the microSD card. I tried formatting it using several tools, failing each time - sometimes, the tools say the card is read-only, other times simply finish the process successfully but when I look again, everything is still there. So, I guess I should go and buy a new card, right?
At least I could make a backup copy of it...
how are u formatting the microSD card? on the phone or are u using a computer?

I'm using my computer and have tried several apps to do it, with no success, unfortunately
are you using a microsd adapter, and if yes......did you check the lock switch on the adapter?

Yes, I'm using a microsd adapter. I have also tried several different positions of the locker, as I read somewhere that, sometimes, the actual position for write-access is slightly in the middle... No luck though

Hi guys
Had problems yesterday with my Storage Card being renamed to Storage Card2 etc and could not figure out what was up. Renamed it back as described in various places (By deleting the Storage Card folder created and resetting).
Today however the Storage Card is not showing up at all. Have tried the following:
- Remove storage card, copy contents onto PC using card reader and formatting. Copy contents back and put in phone. -> No luck.
- Hard reset. -> No luck.
Never had any other roms than the standard. Have not upgraded to 6.1 yet.
Could the contents stop it from showing up?
Cheers
Louis
One thing i could think of is a corrupt file.
Try formatting it again (with all your files backed up in your PC) and just insert the card with nothing on it. If it shows up and your phone reads it, a good bet that one or more of your files from your backup is corrupt and the phone is unable to read the card.
yes i suppose that is a logical step to do. lets hope it is. but luckily it is still under warranty if it is hardware...
Reformated the card (FAT32 is this right?) and loaded into HTC TyTN II without restoring files onto it (i.e. completely blank).
Still not showing up...
Any ideas?
ur storage card reader might have become faulty. i would recommend a warranty exchange for ur device.
Installing WM6.1 sorted this out...
I have the exact same problem as you had.. But I already have WM 6.1 and the storage card still doesn't show up..
Tried formating, etc and still nothing.. I can see all the contents if i use a card reader on my PC, but once I insert de card on my kaiser it doesn't show up..
Any ideas?
Have you hard reset? It didn't help me until I installed the WM6.1. Otherwise is it still under warranty. I was actually on the way to take mine in when I installed 6.1. Actually I should have taken it in as I have a scratch on my screen and I suspect they would have replaced the phone...
This problem usually happens if you are using a third party file explorer like Resco etc. and make non visible areas such as your ROM visible.
It then treats the new area as Storage card and the SD card becomes Storage card2.
Just check if you have any other memory areas set as viewable and undo this.
My storage card completely disapeared but came back when I installed WM6.1. Didn't use 3rd party explorers etc. But this might be Baretto's problem.
This problem also occurs when running Card Export II. The Storage Card is renamed as Storage Card2. The only solution is to remove the card and re-insert it.
This solved the problem for me.
Regards,
MAC
The problem I originally described here was the Storage Card disappearing completely. Not renamed etc. I.e. there is no Storage Card2. Baretto may have a similar problem to mine or his may also just be renamed.
Yes, I have the exact same prob as lrossouw did. My mem card wasn't renamed. It just disapeared..
I've already did hard-reset, and I don't use any third party explorer.. I already formated the card.
My only hope is to flash another rom.
I'm using the official HTC 6.1 portuguese rom and i'de like to stick with this rom..
If I was the only one with this problem, I would think it would be a hardware prob, but lrossouw solved his prob by flashing another ROM, so I'm hoping there will be another solution..
EDIT: Just tried to flash another ROM and still no success.. Still Can't find my mem card
I got one better for you. I had to wind up formatting mine because of this. Here's the deal. I go to open up my storage card and the folder is there but none of my files are showing. Then I go to the memory to check the space available and it was still showing that I had half of the card full. So I popped out the card and plugged it into my computer with the same results, nothing. So then I soft reset twice, nothing. I pim backed up my phone and hard reset, nothing. The pim back up was on my card but nothing else. Then I made another my documents folder and for a split second it showed the files that use to be in the old my documents. So seeing that all was lost I formatted my card and I haven't had any problems yet. I started a thread about this but no one responded so I assumed no one else had this problem.
P.S. I have an 8gig sdhc card

No one has answered you, because there are already other threads about that problem.. Search and you will find them..
This thread is not about empty mem cards.. It's about the device not recognizing the card, so pls refer to other threads..
Thanks
Baretto is it possible to reflash it with the wm6.1 rom? It might fix it.

LOL,
Guy this is the easiest fix ever.
All you do is delete the folder that says "Storage Card" then remove & reinsert the SD card. SD 2 will disappear & be corrected upon reinsertion.
This issue happens because of the Unload delay & sometimes because of SD Power management issues.
Always best to make sure SD Card Power Management is DISABLED.

As I & Baretto posted before (read the bit you quoted) there is no *spoon* (edit:storage card folder). It is not there. Can't delete it if it is not there. There is no Storage Card 1,2 or any number either. The storage card is not showing up anywhere and not as SD2 either.
Mine was fixed by upgrading to wm6.1. Baretto is on wm6.1 already.
@ lrossouw
I already tried to reflash it with HTC original 6.1 rom and other 6.1 cooked roms and nothing..
I'm getting desperate..
I'm thinking about sending it to the warranty, but I'm predicting 1 or 2 months without my Kaiser if I do so
@ GSLEON3
What do you mean by "SD Power management issues"? As lrossouw said, I don't have the SD card rename problem, but maybe my Kaiser ins't recognizing the SD card because of something related with power mangement..
It might be power related. My phone was on very very low battery power just before this happened for me. In fact had to reset itself a couple of time due to low battery. The next day the storage card was gone.
Anythign similar for you Baretto?
after flashing JP2, the TF card is write-protected via PC, any idea??
seems so many ppl having this problem, any fix for it or do we need to wait till JP3 to 'release' our sd card?
Same with mine, waiting for a fix...
Ok.... For a moment I thought the problem was solved. Please change the title in "external card is write-protected...
Glad am not the only one my sd card works fine in the pc i tried it can transfer stuff that way but not when its in the phone.
seem like it is settle over here.
any good soul can make it in simple way to work this out.

Have you guys tried to format the card inside the phone? unmount it then format (don't forget to do backup!)
Seems to work fine for me

we can write stuff into the card in our phone, but not by connecting to the PC then choose Mass Storage / Kies to copy file over there
I can write things by taking the card out of my phone and put it in pc and copy things over but when i connect my phone to pc i can't transfer anything across.

There's a workaround. Not a good one, but at least it works. You can get full r/w access to the external sd card from within Kies, with the horrible Kies file-explorer.

Nope, the external card is still r/o when seen through USB storage in windows
tried changing the permissions in root explorer as well, no joy.
There is a easy way how to solve this. Plug in the cable, select Kies (on the phone), u dont have to run kies on your PC, after the Kies is running on your phone, on your pc there should be mobile phone connected, go there and there are both cards(in, ext) and u can use them.
i also have the same problem with the sd card :/
My sd card just formatted itself.
Last thing i remembered is that my musics in my sd card, my phone couldnt read it. so i took it out. put it back in the phone, bam the entire sd card got erased.
is there anyway to get those things back? more importantly my photos

Try some free data recovery software. Google it, and use a card reader on your PC to help, but it does not look good.
Thanks for your reply.
Ive actually did that and got trolled by this program. After scanning all the files, it asked me to purchase the program in order to get the files back. I got fed up and reformatted the sd card and start from scratch.
Right now I'm facing one issue. After putting stuff back into the sd card, I unplugged it and the sd card un mounted itself. I pulled it out and plug it back in with restart and all and the phone still cant read it.
Is it the sd card problem or my phone?
Or what else should I do?
Thanks on advance.

There are plenty of good free ones that dont do that, however, if you have now formatted the card all the information is lost.
Which format did you format it too? Make sure its FAT or EXT2, 3 or 4. The best bet is to format it in recovery.
I knew it would be a problem if I reformat it, but I was really fed up certain programs like those. I didn't want to waste time so I chose to reformat it.
My first attempt with FAT didn't work, and tried the others as well.
This morning I reformatted and stick it into the phone and erased every thing on the sd through the phone again. And now it seems to work fine.
Somehow the first few tries the phone reformatted the sd even when I did it through the computer already.
Anyway, thanks alot buddy
Hey guys, there was a long time I wasn't copying anything to my SD card, and recently tried to copy few files to the card. I plugged it with USB cable throught my Z1, I could read files, but I couldn't write to SD card anything. I thought maybe something with software got damned, so I put my card into adapter and plug it into sd card reader in my PC. I was happy coz I thought my problem has just flew away, but after my files has been moved to SD card I refreshed explorer, and there wasn't any of my file, it was like I moved files to nowhere. After that I decided to format the card, plugged it into my phone went to settings and.. my phone couldn't format the card, free space hasn't changed at all, just nothing. I switched on my pc and tried it there, same thing, after starting formatting at the end I just got error message "Windows was unable to complete the format". Anyone know what is wrong? Sorry for my grammar.
I have some Sandisc card that do the same. After checking that manual write protection is off and trying to format with other tools also beside Windows default formating tool I haven't figured out how to bring SD card back to life.

I only get this message once I insert the microsd card into the tablet, I get the option not now or go to my files, and I always press not now, and it never come up again until I take out the card and re insert.
do you keep taking out the card or does the message just comes up without you removing/insert the card.

Backup all your data from sd card and format the card from settings/storage
Probably a card on its way out.

thank you guys for your quick reply. Apologize for the insufficient info. Okay, initially when I inserted the card, the tab is in off mode. Once I powered it up, I didn't get that message. I straight away go to my files and the sd card content is already there, so I thought that is normal, but after a while that message cames on. It goes off once you touch anywhere on the screen or the soft keys. This thing happened on and on. the only thing I haven't done is formatting the card. I gonna try that method afterwards. wish me luck...>_<

It is always best to go through the procedures when insert or removing the sd card, use the menu and unmounts the SD card then format, it's best not to continuous taking out the SD card, even though you can do that.
hmm.... I believe I have tried doing all the method mention before. no joy... formatting process unable to complete(using onboard programme), its only done half way before that message appear again....tried several times....still the same....can't format using PC(ahh....couldn't find my card reader)..so I've concluded that I have to change a new card...even though previously all the content inside works flawlessly. anyway....thanks all for the advices given.
I had that problem with an old microSD and my T810. Changing it with a new one (faster and best branded) solved the problem.
No more messages.

There are two more method you can try, download the Panasonic SD formatter and use that program to format the SD card, or you can format the card using a old nokia phone that runs on the old S40 OS.

I had a 16gb sandisk do this on my s2, swapped it yesterday for a newer, faster 64gb card and so far so good. I'd try a different card or buy a new one.

wow... I wanna give this method a try, looks very promising....
I can't guarantee that the SD formatter work,but it's. A very good program made by the SD association, but the Nokia one has a good chance, previously I has some dead micros, and some that will not detect, even on a PC, the nokia fixed it.
