Hi all..
I've been using a TwinMOS 2GB x66 cad for 2 months now, and rarely I had the problem of disappearing storage card, but a simple SR or inserting the card again solved the problem.
Since a couple of hours, the symptom has come back, but now nothing solves it I've done a dozen of SR and inserted the card several times, but still the same problem: some folders are empty, and others are written in strange letters. the card isn't actually disappearing at all, ilauncher still shows its correct size, but all folders are corrupted.
I have the feeling that all this happened after installing the free medical program EPOCRATES, since only this program's folder was viewable in the program files folder on the storage card, and all others simply disappeared. Of course uninstalling the software didn't help
Any idea guys???
Thanks in advance.
Did you try to install this cab. It's for the htc p3300 but it's work too for the htc p3600 ...
http://www.europe.htc.com/support/faq.html?id=545&device=htcp3600
Isn't it strange that this patch has been published by HTC only mentionning the pb on P3300 and not ont the P3600 ?
Are you sure applying it on a P3600 is safe ?
Yes, i am...I apply it to mine and it's work fine... I didn't have some problems with my mini-sd card but with my sim+ (128 Mo) and now it's more stable !!
And as you can see the link i put is for the htc p3600.
This cab works also with the htc :
- S310
http://www.europe.htc.com/support/faq.html?id=545&device=htcs310
- S710
http://www.europe.htc.com/support/faq.html?id=545&device=htcs710
This has been posted before in various threads, but just to repeat:
The cab mentioned is for the Artemis/P3300. It installs one file to \windows: omap850_sdhc.dll, which is the SD driver for a device with a TI OMAP 850 processor.
It will have no effect, positive or negative, to install it on a device with a Samsung processor, except wasting 42K of space.
So why the support of HTC in this differents links (3600, s310, s710) refers to it ?? And it's fact that my sim+ is more stable now !! Not to bother you ... just to understand !!

Actually they don't really. This has also been explained before in other posts, but here goes again:
If you go to www.europe.htc.com and navigate to support for P3300, you can find faq 545, which relates to the 'P3300 SD card enhancement', and when you've found that one, the URL in the address will be: www.europe.htc.com/support/faq.html?id=545
If you now go and add e.g. '&device=htcp3600' to the end of the URL and press enter, then you will get the same faq, but it will look like it's from the P3600 support, which is not really true; it's just a 'less fortunate' behaviour by the web site.
Faq 545, 'P3300 SD card enhancement', really belongs to the P3300 support area, and nowhere else.

I'm sure it's correct when you say so, but if it's caused by putting omap850_sdhc.dll in your \windows directory, then it's nothing short of a miracle.
Okay...thanks !

Thanks guys for the replies, but I guess we went a little bit off-topic.
I understand that the patch mentioned above won't work. Is there any other solution to this issue, apart from formatting it again??
unfortunately, I forgot to move my SPB Backup file from the miniSD to my PC, so I lost even that file my bad
I would like to mention again how it happened: most presumably after installing the program EPOCRATES. Can this help??
Thanks again
You are far from being the first to have a problem like this with a SD card on a Trinity, and I'm afraid there is no easy cure.
Did you try and put the card in a card reader and see if it looked OK here?
If you can read it with a card reader, then make a backup (copy) to your PC, reformat it and restore the copy before putting it back in the Trinity, and see how it looks now.

I tried that, but same strange characters are also shown on my PC using the SD adapter. there is even a 4GB eek file in the root directory of the card. everything so strange.
Guess that you will have to do a reformat if possible.
If there is something on the card that you really want to salvage before you do the reformat, then you could try to do this with a file recovery utility.

Actually the Spb backup file would be really helpful Do u recommend any program for trying to recover it??
Thanks
I'm using an old release of WinHex myself.
WinHex is not free, but a trial can be downloaded from here: http://winhex.com/winhex/index-m.html
I'm not sure what limitations there might be in the unlicensed version, but I would recommend giving it a try before looking elsewhere.
I don't have any recent experience with other recovery utilities, but there are a number of them to be found here: http://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0.html?tg=dl-20&qt=recovery&tag=srch
Great, after trying to recover files with Winhex (unsuccessfully), The device doesn't recognize the card anymore, and now it requires a format I give up.
Is there anything I should make to prevent future problems like this??
First of all, should I format it as FAT16 or FAT32?
should I format it on the device or using a card reader?
should I use a specific program for formatting or the default windows application?
Thanks again

Try this - found from the Artemis forum.
It's a preventive measures - not one that can save your already messed up SD.

If you are still looking for a recovery solution, a friend had a similar incident with the 2GB Toshiba SD card on his 818 Pro just last week, and, not counting MP3s stored on the card (which he can restore from his CD library), I managed to recover for him some 90% of the files intact using Ontrack's EasyRecovery Professional.

I cant get my Tre0 750 to take either WM6 or downgrade to WM5...all I get is SPLASH1-OK , BOOTLOADER-OK, GSM-OK ,MicroP-OK then when it gets to OS---Update Terminate UPDATE FAIL...I am using 2 gb sd formated to fat 32...Any one have any ideas? I have just the tri colored screen TIA
This has been discussed at length, please search the upgrade forum. You need to make sure your card is formatted FAT32, even if you think you did it right do it again. Most all who have had this issue once reformatted again have not had any problems.
I had this issue when updating to WM6. It wound up being that the file was not the full size. Apparently some of the sites that people posted the files to were cutting off the download before it was complete. I would check to make sure. I would think that if it was an issue with the formatting of the SD card that it would not have allowed you to enter the bootloader.
Thanks Albiemanmike and Pderosa..I tried a new mini sdhc card formatted FAT32 with same file and it worked!! Musta been something wrong with the original mini sdhc card...Thanks again for you help !
The only problem I had upgrading my treo was the instructions which are posted throughout many of the sites. In one of them they say push the start button when it says update. what they dont tell you it only flashes for a second then it reverts to the boot screen. The next thing you need to do is push the end button to start the update.
Hello ppl
Yesterday I noticed a bunch of files in my storage card, possibly fake ones or junk ones... problem is they're to large to be "real", since I've got a 4GB SD with about 1GB free space.
They're a total of 6 files, four of which are named like "z≥┼3>ô½`.>ô½", "╡Ü`^ô½`.WÜô" etc and are 1.50GB large each, and another two, "MZÉ" and "t", sized 0kb!
Plus, they can't be deleted. Even though they're visible through my pda's explorer (both windows and resco) and my pc when connected, if I try to delete them I get a "file not found" error!
Any ideas? Should I just take a backup of my files and format the card?

Hi,
Yes take a backup if possible and re-format, but check you're files are correct in the backup.
The syptons you describe, normally means that the File Allocation Table has been corrupted, so I would reccommend you attempt to get your files off as soon as possible and DO NOT Write any data to the card untill your backup is verified. Writing more files to the card could cause more corruption and possibly overwrite and damage files that allready exist.
Once you have verified your files, do a complete format of the card and test it before relying on any data on it. If you plan to keep using the card, I would recommend regular backups for a while too.
Cheers,
Beasty
Hi Beasty,
I have a similar problem, though no data loss. It keeps asking to format and when I try to format, it says "format not successful". Any idea?
Tried to format on a PC and got the same results!
KOR!
P.S. Just sent you a PM!

Hi KOR,
Stupid question, but is the write protect tab enabled?
Sounds as though the disk is damaged if not write protected, there are some tools that can force a format, but you must know the exact sizes........ Google should help
Ok so I went on a trip to Red River and before going on the trip I flashed the most up to date NRG rom for the Raph VIA my Polaroid 16g MicroSDHC card without issues. I did happen to put a lot of movies I ripped from my own DVD's and some music from CD's I had lying around because I need media to get through long driving trips but when I got back from the trip and tried to update the Rom to the latest rom via SD card I am now getting No Image found just as if there was no RAPHIMG.nbh file in the root directory.
What I've tried:
Reformatting again to FAT32
Removing the card and putting it back in
Moving all the files off the card and just having the NBH file there
Making sure the NBH file's properties aren't read only or system or archive or whatever via properties in Total Commander
Defragging / scandisking / etc via Pocket Mechanic, even tried recovering what I thought may be bad sectors...
I have another card but it has never worked even with the above steps taken on that card so I'm thinking possibly somewhere along the line's I've corrupted my card. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I hate that I paid for this card knowing the only reason I really wanted the card was to be able to flash via SD card on the fly because my old 2g never allowed it no matter what I did.
Any pro tips on this one?
Try this...
Hate to make you install a program... but see if this helps you reformat the drive correctly, this has a FULL PARTITION program that will allow you to hit ALL the sectors... FDISK full if you will...
Here is the link:
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/eula
This has worked for me before. Hope it works for you.
Still saying No Image Found but I appreciate the assistance xD
I think your hosed; not sure why, but that's just how it sounds. The only thing I'd suggest is doing a hard reset, if you haven't already.
Seen this before
I had a similar problem upgrading to the TAEL ROM.
First off, you need to go here and read: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008
Note: *FLASH HARDSPL BEFORE FLASHING ANY CUSTOM ROMS*
Then make sure your RAPHIMG.nbh file is named correctly, i've seen people change the name in the File Explorer on their device, and it looks like this "RAPHIMG.nbh.nbh"
Yea did all that Radar.
Farmer Ted I'm going to lean towards agreeing with you because this is the same behavior with my old 2g microSDHC card no matter what I did I couldn't flash with it.
Thanks for the help guys.
Dear Users
After a tragic experience with flashing my Polaris using activesync connection and a power failiure in the process which caused me a lot of trouble and a defective USB on the device it self. I have decided to share the best way to flash with all other novice users like myself. The procedure can even HardSPL provided you have the relevant nbh file.
In my humble opinion one should not use activesync /computer to flash for many reasons.
This procedure is very simple.
1. Take a MicroSD or SD card appropriate for your device and format it.
2. Put the ROM file you want to flash on the root of the SD and rename it POLAIMG.nbh
3. Put this card into your device and press camera + power+ hard reset (hidden button) and let go the hard reset, the device will go into bootloader and automaticlly start flashing the rom image.
Thats it you are done and no problems getting stuck into bootloader or problems related to activesync and different OS versions.
I have even flashed my old HTC Atom using same technique only the file name there is not PLOAIMG
Enjoy, Respects to all the chefs and other developers
T_Malik
great but isn't it
POLAIMG.nbh
Just some may how to say get stuck on the wrong name
Absolutely right POLAIMG.nbh
Regards

I think it only works with non-SDHC cards. I tried with my 16 GB card and it didn't read the .nbh
I have tried 3 different MicroSD cards and it seems that its the best if the card be a 256 MB in size and only containing the required POLAIMG.nbh file in root.
On the ATOM model the card was a standard SD card 1GB in size and it worked fine as well.
Respects and regards

Hey guys, there is a strange issue that I found out about just today.
My Co-Ed has a Sensation with official ICS update on it - no root, no hacked apps, nothing related to unofficial.
So the problem is that almost every pic she has on her device and every tracks is beign displayed twice in the gallery and the stock music player.
The file manager doesn't show two of the same files, so maybe it's a problem with SD card. The thing is - if she deletes one track - both of the displayed ones dissappear.
Whay could be the problem and how can it be solved? Should she change hee SD card, reinstall the ROM or try a factory reset? Hope you can help me (and her)

one suggestion is backup everything from the sdcard to a pc and format the sdcard
then put everything again on it

Thanks, we'll try that. Any other suggestions on how to fix this bug?
It only appeared recently, probably because the internal storage/SD card is almost full and there's no space left, or am I wrong?
/bump
When you format your SD card it will erase everything on it so you can restore from computer only what you want restored. So essentially you start with a new fresh card. Or if you want more space buy another SD with more space transfer what you saved on computer and do it that way. Best wishes. FYI Amazon has 64 class 10 on sale pretty cheap. I got one. It works perfectly! You have to format through recovery first to get device to recognise it. You do this by putting card in slot, pulling battery, put battery back in, press volume power at same time, boot into boot loader, press recovery, power for yes, then in recovery press format SD card. You have to get in recovery like this because UN formatted SD will prevent the usual way. Once formatted you're good to go. Device will then detect the card perfectly. It's been running perfectly in mine ever since. I got a great deal on the San disk. Take a look you will be surprised how cheap the 64 class 10 is. Also I tested the SD and yes it's truly the class 10.running exactly as it should. Hope this helps you out. Best wishes
