Hi guys
I've been searching for some days on google and this forum but I can't seem to find the solution to this: every time I try to download my ROM with d2s (romupdate) I get a "Card initialize is fail!"
I've got a Qtek S100 with a 256MB MMC card.
Anyone any clue what I'm not seeing?
Thanks
Mark
Is it an MMC card that you're using, or SD?
It is a MMC as I said in the original question, is that the problem?
Regards
Mark
MMS and SD have different protocols and to be honest I never headr anyone who used the romupdate program with an MMC card. It would be worth trying an SD card I think.
You need an SD card. It doesnt work with an MMC. Even I have tried. MMCs dont work for ROM dumping/upgrade.
Thanks for pointing that out. I'll try again!
Hope this posts helps for others

Sure did - tried reformatting MMC card using NetX Flash Format at various different formats - all to no avail.
Is there any other way to dump a ROM without have an SD card to hand?
I've got 4 MMC cards - and the idea of buying another card just for ROM updates seems such a waste.

I hope this is the right place ,i have searched and found nothing,i have a 16 GB micro card and i cant format it i have tried directly from my phone ,in a card reader ,with an adapter straight into another computers card reader,please help me , TIA Jacques
If you want to format it because it seems corrupted (and cant do it in any way as you told) then it is broken and you need to change it at service.
I had also my 16G microSD changed
is it a branded card?
exactly WHY cant you format it?... wanna give us some insight into what happens?
I couldn't format a card with a number of programs - In the end I tried 'Flash Format' by CNetX (google it) - it worked first time on the free evaluation version.
Good luck.
More info on formatting sd card
sorry i should of provided more info ,i have tried formatting the card using every option and program i can/have (going to try 'Flash Format' as was recommended.It seems that i either get an io error or when i try and remove some suspicious files/folders i cant because they have charachters in their names it is a panasonic 16 m card ,thanks for all the help , this is a great forum sam jack
hehe.. strange. probably an unbranded sucky card or just a ruined one
I am in a bad situation with my rooted, now semi-bricked G1 =[
I had cyanogenmod and RA recov. I installed a new theme directly from the CM updater app; then on reboot, my phone would not boot into the OS (stuck on logo, before loading screen). So I tried to overwrite the phone with cyan again. It wouldn't work so then I was left to flash the phone and start over. Upon flashing, I got that b#$6h of an error. Then the "RUUNBH".
Now upon turning on my phone (In any way) it comes to the colured screen. When I try to flash a nbh, I get the "not allow" because my SD card needs to be a gold card.
The only method now is to gold card my SD. Which I cannot figure out anymore because all the methods I would need a WinMo phone or an working Android phone, neither I have access to.
In short, does anyone know how I can get a SD card's CID without a phone. I DO have a laptop with a sd card reader and CAN get access to a external USB sd card reader.
Any help?

Buy a cheap winmo phone? Something that has whats required. There has to be an old one that can do it for like 20 - 30 dollars. I don't think it's possible otherwise.
I think it may be possible to get the CID with a sdcard slot (not USB), usually within a laptop. Recently, I found this: jo0ls-dotnet-stuff.blogspot.com/search/label/SD%20Card%20CID
I used his source and threw in a couple lines to debug why it wasn't working, but it seems the laptop I own doesn't have a support SD card slot, so I will have to go see someone who has a internal SD slot on their laptop.
A winmo phone for $30?... By any chance of pointing me in the direction of such item(s)? (I am Australian)

Though this thread is for the Topaz, IMO pt 5.1 and especially pt 5.2 are interesting for you;

Thanks for your suggestion. But it is possible that you would still need to get her a CID. I am wondering if it is possible to overwrite the whole SD card through the tool that is used to edit your SD card and into a 'goldcard'.
I PMed the person who was recommended in that thread, fingers crossed.
SD card reader that can read SD/MMC 32 bit CID
Hi There
I think this might be useful to anyone that sits with the problem of reading the 32 bit serial number/CID of a SD/MMC card.
I have managed to get firmware written for the Addonics eSata/USB multi-card reader model AEPDDESU with a small application that will read and display the CID number.
There is no other way to read the CID number through USB on PC other than having the the chip set inside the reader relay the information back to the host when it receives an application defined command,like for instance DeviceIoControl.
If anyone is interested drop me a mail and i will gladly mail u the firmware + utillity .One will need to buy this drive though.

Dear friend.
I am looking for solution to read Serial No from SD card. I made special software which is runing on every pc on out company an check all inserted USB memory keys. Then compare serial no with database and if not registered is used we get warnings on IT section that not registered usb key was used.
Unfortunatelly i have problem with sd cards because i always get serial number of card reader and not serial no od SD card.
Is there some way to get serial no from SD card via Card reader? Can you send me the model of card reader which is possible to read this SN + Software?
Is there some dll or component for reading usable for .net visual basic?
Thank you for informations.

Write or modified Cid of sd card ?
Translated with google translation
Hello you know how to modify the cid of a card sd ??
thank you in advance
hey guys,
1 month ago i've buyed a new sd card(16 gigs, class4) it works pretty good until now.
now i can't erase anything, when i try it the datas seemd to be away, but on the next plug they're there again...
and the phone doesn't recognize the card either, so what i can do?!
Corrupted. Use minitools to do a full wipe and try.
doesn't work anyway,
or explain what i have to do exactly
Have you tried it on a different device to make sure the problem is the sd card and not your phone. Tried backing up and formatting the sd card?
on different devices it's like read/only...
formatting doesn't work,
Assuming the sd card is MicroSD ( it is isn't it?), and you've tried formatting it on a phone as well as from a computer, always making sure the lock of the microSD adapter was off, the only thing i would think of, is trying with different formatting tools software, there are plenty of them on the internet.
A program that might work:http://en.kioskea.net/download/download-127-hp-usb-disk-storage-format-tool
yes it's micro sd but it hasn't any lock,
when i try that program there's written: the device is write-protected..
When you plug your micro sd card to the computer you do it with an adaptor in wich you should find a lock, if it's off or doesn't exist the following tutorial should help.
http://www.troublefixers.com/remove-write-protection-on-usb-pen-drive-or-memory-card-or-ipod/
Remember google!
doesnt work...
what type of format does it have? did you formatted it at first use? with which kind of format ? i'm running out of possible solutions.. argh!
it has 1 gig ext, and the other's fat32..
Repartitioning, trying with the disk utility on ubuntu...or if your on time, or return it to the store and change it for a new one... i've no idea what so ever apart from what i've already answered. Sorry mate. May be someone around the forum can help you further...
cannot partitioning it, read only,...
when someone knows how to fix that he would answer..
Hi.. i've a problem with my sd card from 1 month... this is the error, when i try to format with the computer, the sd card is read only. i tried a lot of programs... i've CM 13.. thanks for your time !!
The SD card is defective, either throw it away and get another one, or contact the manufacturer/seller... most brand name SD cards are guaranteed for life.
get gparted and put it on a stick and boot it and then plug in the offending stick and re-write the MBR on it and create a fat32 partition on it.
Yea, I've had this problem. The SD card is dead and the only way out is to buy a new one. There are many different ways to try and fix it, but they more than likely won't work.

Holler if you have probs.
hi yesterday I unexpectedly remove sd card (samsung) without unmounting from htc u11 now I can not write to it. can not format the sd card from phone as well from pc. recently I updated my htc u11 to oreo also. I dont know is it because of unexpectedly remove of sd card or oreo update because I dont remember that after oreo update I use(means download something) my sd card. If anyone have the solution thanx in advance.
How old was sd card? Could be just bad luck, and card died, happen to me. And what pc - win version you tried formated? It should let you do it whitout any problems.
If the external sd card was being written to at the time it was disconnected then it will be broken. If it wasn't then try to recover it using a pc.
The oreo update won't have changed anything with the external sd card so you can rule that out.
Sometimes, when you pull out the memory card unexpectedly (also the pen drives or even memory sticks on pc) you can lock the card. It denies to write on it. This happens due to the chip controller of the memory card. The only solution is to repair it on PC with special software tools from manufacturer or from russian/chinese/vietnamese forums which can reset that lock 'flag'. That sw contains drivers to raw access the chip controller.

Hi,
Try to format your SD Card using this tool "MiniTool Partition" on Windows.
https://www.partitionwizard.com/
Windows doesn't do the right job to format SD Cards.

thanx for your reply I use it(minitool partition) and also easeus but no one work. They show that your disk is formated but when I check in explorer data is still there. Is there any other software or method to format.

Try to search something like that: 'mass production utility', usually under this name you can find utilities to access the chips. It is time consuming to find what chip/controller your card use and find an utility which can access that chip since samsung do not publish such a tool...
You can try ChipGenius or another sw to find details, you may digg in sites like 'http://www.flashdrive-repair.com' to find a way of repair.
