Hi, guys and gals, just wondering if anyone experience this with thier wm6, just the other day my MDA froze and like usually if it does I would have to take out the battery and reinstall it. But this time a very new experience came in, all the programs I installed on my SD card is missing, but I'm able to access the SD card and all the other files are there, except the files in Program folder odd eh? So I try to reinstall some of the programs to my SD card and the same thing happen, no files in the program folder after reboot? Oh yeah and also when I tried to use spb backup to restore a point didn't work too, still the programs that were install on SD card is missing so somehow the files just disappear on the SD card...on the files in the program folder. And now if I try to install on the SD card it still doesn't work.
Rom version 10.2.0.8 WWE
NBD v5.3
happened to me too.
I had this happen to me as well. I blamed it on the battery. I let it drain down to 2 or 3 % which I had never done. I was using one of the MUN variations, not sure which I must admit as I have been flashing almost daily. Besides the missing programs and inability to install either on the sd, or main mem , I was having my first instability issues. It was freezing, restarting by itself and not responding to controls. I flashed with the new crossbow 1.7 and reformatted the card. No problems in 2 days of use.
i've heard problems like this back when people were using wm5. sounds like something got corrupted on your card. actually...something like this happened to me once too...i think i just re-formated the card and re-installed the apps and it worked out afterwards. or if you're lucky the quick and easy...take the memory card out...and then plug it back in after a few seconds...and see if the card functions properly afterwards...sounds simplistic...but for some reason every now and then some cards use to get corrupted...
It happened to me 3 times in 3 days. The entire contents disappeared with no reason. I have never experienced this issue, but it is getting me out of my nerves.
My SD card is a Sandisk 8 GB SDHC.
I have scanned the card using a card reader and it seems that all the files are there, but they're unlinked. The space is used, but the files are not accesible, so when I go to Storage Card, I find it empty.
It's TOTALLY annoying. Please, give your experience if you have this problem.
Have you lost all your MicroSD card contents and you don't know why?
My Sandisk 8gb card came with a USB2 card reader that is great speed-wise; but twice I lost all the data when using it. I didn't realize it might be related at the time, but then I misplaced the reader and switched to using the adapter kind -- the SD sized thing that you slip the microSD card into (my laptop has a SD card slot). It's been a few months now, and with constant switching of the card between my Touch, Touch Cruise and laptop, I've not lost the data since.
While I can't say for sure it's related, it hasn't happened since I stopped using the USB adapter that shipped with the card.
I think it's not related to the use of the adapter since the first time I lost my files I was on a route using Tomtom 7. In my way back, I had to go without the navigator :S No maps, and the videos and pictures that I took, totally lost.
Fortunately I have an application that is pure gold to recover every disaster that could happen (recovers partitions even after formatting the disk, and files with their original names). It's not pleasant for me to use this application ("[email protected] Partition Recovery Enterprise"), but this is becoming too usual...
By the way I'm using udK's WM6.1 ROM R6, even though I don't think it's related to it.
My MicroSD is formatted in FAT32 with 32KB clusters.
Any ideas about how to fix this problem?
The last time I lost the contents I was about to sync music with WMP (with the USB connected).
Good luck... I'm using the ROM that shipped with the device. Guess the only way to know if it's related to a cooked-ROM is to re-install the official ROM and see how things go.
I'm using HTC original ROM and 8Gb Sandisk card with no problem for more than 3 months. My fingers are crossed
I'm using HTC original ROM and 8Gb Sandisk card with some issues (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407046&highlight=bodisson), but no files are missing.
Sometimes I get extra file names with really weird characters. Usually, if I reinsert the card, these go away and I can access normally the card.

that happened to me twice..my problem was solved by installing an sd enhancement cab file. almost everything appeared back in my sd.
i have an HTC touch cruise. here is a link for the cab file..try it if you want, maybe you ll solve your problem

did you use something like sktools for change pathes of temp/cookes files of I.E or so on?
If yes it could following happend:
You change the destination path for some application like InternetExplorers Temp and Cookies pathes to point to Storage Card.
After this you removed the card on any time.
The device cannot find the path to the Storage Card and creates a folder "Storage Card" on the root of the internal device memory.
If you insert a card again, it show you onliy the content of the new folder.

Dudes,
I'm bought a sandisk 8gb micro SDHC about a month ago.
Filled it almost to the brim with music and podcasts.
I regularly uses great programs like S2P and BeyondPod for music and podcasts to listen with my Bluetooth A2DP headset.
Had no problem until recently where the entire card is not readable anymore
Symptoms:
1) the phone started not to recognise the SDHC, where it could not detect any inserted card
2) the failures on the SDHC gave me corrupted files. I was able to repaired these by using the Windows XP chkdsk and fix error command
3) by the 3rd time i did this, the card was not readable at all
Suspects:
1) every time polaris hang, i would press the reset button. I suspect tat this would corrupt some files (possibly even the entire SDHC ??)
2) every time polaris hang, i think the phone was running more than 1 app at the same time. In my case, it was probably S2U2 and S2P or BeyondPod, together with BT A2DP.
Don't think it was caused by these great apps, but rather the way Polaris or WindowsPPC handles multi tasking
Will be returning the 8gb SDHC soon for a replacement.
Any ideas on how to prevent this from happening again ?
(other than not running multiple apps at the same time)
Thx
BTW, i'm running windows 6.0, the original HTC polaris rom
Also have a Scandisk 8gb card in my Polaris...
Problems im suffering is that now and then the storage card looses connection.... I can not see it on my mobile and also its not showing up using ActiveSync.
It happens really often and mostly when im using software that depends on it like IGO. The application crashes because it can not access the files needed.
Ive read somewhere that this only happens with scandisk cards so im considering buying a kingston card.. can anyone verify this??
Well the best thing is to make sure, you safely remove your hardware before removing the sd card from the pc or otherwise change the device settings of the memory card to "optimize for quick removal" in the device manager
I recently switched from a non-sdhc card (1 GB) to a SDHC 4GB kingston.
weirdest of all things is that i lose certain applications, but not all!
For instance i have TomTOm installed. Stopped functioning and lost the icon. But SK Tools still works. :S
I'm not very happy with this, since i use my phone ALOT with TomTom and all the other apps i installed on it. Especially at work.
Gonna try the artemis sd fix... Hope it works.
Could it be that you'd made a rom-upgrade with the sd-card in the phone? I had the same problem - lost files on sd-card - with the original 1GB-Card and a new 4-GB-SDHC. I think (and hope) that leaving the card while upgrading has reasoned this issue. After reformating the card in the pda the problem has gone for me . Thank you for your answers...

Yes, i actually did leave the card while upgrading. But i didn't lose any data until a few days AFTER the upgrade. And i frequently soft-reset the device.
I solved my problem (i think) by deleting 'program files' on the storage card and making a new 'program files' folder. It works for a few day now. (keeps fingers crossed)
I did a ROM upgrade (udK Diamond R7) without the microSDHC card, and yesterday night I lost all my files for the nth time.
The space remains used. I was listening to a podcast (that was stored into the card), and suddenly, when I ran the File Explorer to do something, all the files were missing. The podcast played correctly, but when I tried to re-open it, the file could not be found.
I'm feed up with this problem. It is like having no card at all...
Please, we need somebody to fix it. Is it happening to other brands of only Sandisk?
Thanks.
I simply turned my phone off. Then back on again and storage card had turned into storage card 2. Everything I had on the card was lost. So I carried on using the card and now its storage card 3 and the data from when it was called card 2 is now lost.
copilot often asks me to insert map data.
Ive found that if I remove the card and close all programs before I turn the phone off I dont lose data.
O2 told me to send it in for replacement. That was months ago. Not had chance yet. Might be too late!?
udk's r7 must be faulty, i lost my destinator files 2 times and dawg i didnt took a backup for quite some time. no favorites for me now :<

Do you mean that the problem might be the cooked ROM? Maybe we can isolate the problem with this approach.
Hi Guys,
I have just upgraded from windows 6 to windows 6.1 ( got it from Australia HTC website ). After the upgradded , everything was working fine and I have noticed that it have improved the performance speed.
After afew days later, something funny has happened, all my programs and files that saved on my memory card was deleled. So I tried to do hard reset but the same problem happen again ( program and files got deleted from the memory )
Is everyone have the same problem as me ? Any suggestions what may be the problem ?
My device info :
HTC TyTN 2
Rom: 3.29.861.0 WWE
Radio v: 1.65.17.10
memory card : Sandisk microSD 8GB
I've never run into this problem until recently. Twice now in the past 4 or so days I've had all files and programs completely erased from my sd card. I haven't been able to isolate the problem and whether its rom related or software or just faulty hardware. I do see that you and I have the same sandisk uSDHC 8gb card though.

I got two cards one is 4GB and the other one is 8Gb and they are all sandisk uSDHC. It is really annoying that I have to backup the file to the memory card everytime.
I dont think it is the hardware problem at all. It is 100% a software problem.
Anyone can suggest what may be the caused pls ?
I just discovered yesterday that upon a removal and insertion into my memory reader on my pc the files were still there. (weird) I put them in my tilt and gone. So I soft reset the tilt and they are back again, including the ones I thought originally gone the first time. Go figure.

search for duplicate files/folders names in same folder.
this was my problem on artemis
with the same behavior as you describing
Same problem - Serious issue - must find Solution
HTC P3650 upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.1
8GB Sandisk has been wiped twice now since upgrade about 2 months ago
This causes great inconvnience I was about to complain to Sandisk about a faulty microSD card until a came across this article which tells me it's definelty 6.1 software issue.
If I buy a different make SD card will it resolve, I don't care I must have a solution I cannot work with this.
I would be very grateful to anyone who can can resolve this
I also noticed most folders show as duplicate when browsing the SDcard. This may be as mentioned by someone that they noticed data was still there when they plugged just SD card into PC, maybe I have restored previous data and current data was still there. Although you should not be allowed to have same folder names. This error really sucks
Running official WM 6.1 ROM with Sandisk 8 GB, I've just encountered the same problem. There was no problem for 3-4 months and suddenly today the SD card shows as blank both within device using File Manager and plugged into my PC. The strange thing is that under Settings/Memory I see that about 50% of SD card is full. Card Export also reports around 50% full. So is it just the MBR that's messed up?
i have a 4gb SDHC Kingston card and it has happened to me like 3 or 4 times in the last 3 months... once i was installing Uptodate, and other time i was installing Destinator...but i cant seem to find a pattern...!!!
Hello,
Almost a year ago I purchased my Kaiser (an Orange Kaiser) ans started to flash my phone.
I have already used several ROM avaiable here: Dutty (sevearl versions), L26 (SEVERAL Versions), Hyperdragon, Mobile vista, etc, etc, etc. Have already tryed several versions of the Radio firmwares. 1.24, 1.57. etc. Also, have already tried almost EVERY Hard SPL avaiable and so far I had the same problem:
Few days after flashing the Kaiser starts do slow down its performence. For ex: I press the Call button and it takes 40 to 50 seconds to enter in the touchpad screen. Sometimes it don't even enter the the call screen.
It get worst: sometimes I get no signam from the phone even if i'm side by side to a antena (where any other phone have a strong signal).
The only solution: HARD RESET. I mean, after a hard reset it looks like its other phone. Strong signal, fast response.
I can't possible imagine that I'm the only one here with this kind of problem. Does anyone knows how to solve? Does anyone here knows ehy it happens?
PS: I have already tried configurations with diferent programs. I have already tried with and without S2L2, With or without HTC Home (most without), With and without pocket launcher, with and without today agenda and SPB calendar. Can only think that this is problem with something in the ROM or the radio since every single configuration had the same performance issues.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks

I had a faulty SD card that was giving me similar problems to this. I think it was due to Coreplayer and Audio Manager scanning the faulty SD card for music and the read speed was really really slow on the card. Everything would grind to a halt. I bought a new card and everything was fine after that. You could also try formatting or removing the SD card to eliminate the card being the source of the issue.... but you'll probably turn around a say you don't have an SD card
Good luck...
Yeah recently I got this issue. The filesystem on my SD card for corrupt somehow, and I was unable to access anything on it via activesync (my pc) and my phone.
So I just installed some prob( i forget the name) and formatted the SD card, then re-flashed. And since then it's been quick as can be
Hey guys,
I've been having this issue as well. I have not found it to be my storage card as i have tried 4 different cards. i have put the cards on my BJII and it works without issues. I also have found that with some of my early L26 Flashes i would just ride it out and it would work again.
However i have not had my HDIII Pro for that long but i'm hoping that it would would do the same.
If someone does find a link to what is really going on i would greatly appreciate the advice.
Thanks
Also, I actually believe if you text message a lot (i mean basically excessivly) as my brother does, the device will slow down.
He has my older Hermes, and he has unlimited texting, but within 2 weeks he would have sent 1500-2000 text messages and recieved about the same ammount.
By that time his phone would start lagging and being a pain, so I would usually just do a new flash (or hard reset), since deleting that many texts normally would probably take 48 hours haha.
Anyway when it gets re-flashed everything runs normal and fine. But whenever the phone gets cleared everything is smooth again
So maybe it's the amount of text/emails you have? Idk
Going to test the SD card. I have a 4Gb SD card but I'm actually only using 1,4 Gb, so I can use a 2Gb with no problem.
This going to take a while since the phone starts to slow down after three or four days, but I'll let you guys know if it solved.
Thanks!!!!

If you have a vista based machine, It will correct the filesystem errors automatically, and you wont have to reformat...
Works great for me, My desktop is VU64, and my lappy is MCE2005. All the flashing happens on the laptop, and transferring files to the SD (Music & Movies) via WMP happens on the desktop.
Idem
I have same problem.
I try to found confirmation in italian dedicated forum , nobody has had the same problem.
After any minutes where the kaiser freeze , i do not have the same problem.
As is autoconfigured.
Now i used selfmade rom (by official italian rom, and hardSPL 3.29).
Sorry for my bad english
since i bought my universal, it had maxstegi's german wm6.1 on it. it was becoming slower and slower, so i hard resetted the device with my 16gb sdhc card inside. apparently that started the problem. after the hard reset i couldn't get the card to work anymore.
since it possibly could have been rom related, i recently flashed thing's wm6.1 build 21127 v2.21 and still, i can't get a single sd or sdhc card to work.
is it possible that i actually harmed the hardware sd card slot by simply hard resetting, or is there any chance that there is a software solution to this. i wouldn't wanna open the device unless it is absolutely necessary and a sure fix to the issue.
thanks in advance for your help. if you need further information, please point it out.
It happened me long time ago but on that case my flashed-inside sd card did not worked again.
I done doc format then flashed another ROM and a new sd card was working perfecto.
i'll try a doc format, then. i just saw, the extended rom appears as a storage card, because i unlocked it in the previous rom. i guess a doc format would hide and lock it again, right?
i once used mtty to format my blueangel, and there the extrom partition was restored as well.
EDIT: no, that did not work. the extended rom is stil its own partition and nothing changed about the sd card recognition. is there any way to lock and hide the extrom again, then i would restart the process, doc format, flash, see again
Shame to hear not worked, perhaps if you PM Tomal or Thingonaspring they will be able to help you in deep.
Hope you get solved your prob soon
have you checked your sd card first? try to read/format it using your pc (card reader), otherwise, insert it to other ppc if it will be recognized. that way you could isolate if its a ROM or sd card issue....just my cent .. regards
of course i checked the cards first. i have no other phone to test the 16gb, but it works well in my pc, and in case it was just the sdhc driver, i tested normal 2gb sd cards too, e.g. the one from my blueangel. i suppose it could have something to do with the unlocked extrom, since it happened to more than just one rom too. let's face it, after upgrading (now to thing v2.3) the only software related things on the phone that did not change are the radio rom and the extrom partition, and since the extrom shows up as a storage card, i guess this would be more plausible.
back on the blueangel there were two extrom tools (see my sig) repart_doc and the unlocker. while the repartitioning does not work for the universal, at least i thought there was a proper unlocker somewhere offering the 4 options (unhide, unlock, lock, hide) but all i can find are tools to unhide and unlock it.
i want to go back to factory defaults, with hidden and locked extrom, maybe that will make the device read normal sd cards again, and if i re-upgrade, i will get sdhc support back.
does anybody know, where i can find a BAKED o2uk wm5 rom WWE? with radio and extrom and everything? maybe that will straighten things out.
I have this ROM: xda_exec_upgrade_v113188 WM5
Le t me know if this works for you and I´ll upload it for you
while i would have preferred that one, i took the imate WWE rom from the wiki (most of the others are down.) and actually, my plan worked. muhahaha.
i downgraded to a shipped baked rom, normal sd cards work, upgraded to thing's v2.3, now everything works.
now all i need to do, is upgrade the radio again and everything is back to normal.
Glad to know all is ok again
Remember to take out your sd next time
i still think it's strange. i never flash with the sd card inside or the sim card. i mean i write tutorials and always include that, because i saw the troubles people get into, when they forget to take out the cards but i never had trouble with an inserted sd card during a hard reset, in fact, for the blueangel, i always recommend it, because that's the way to install the custom extrom on the BA.
but whatever really caused it, i'm just glad it is resolved and not a serious hardware issue. spare parts are too expensive and i don't like opening the devices.
it has been repeatedly advised (wiki and tutorials) to remove sd and sim cards before flashing, which i did for fear of bricking my uni if i will not... but that was during those days when im still crossing my trembling fingers while doing the process
at present, (or since tomal's 7.7 as far as i recall) i remove it no more and simply flash whatever ROM i wanted to try, and no serious problems encountered for not removing it...
IMHO, card removal is not really the rule of thumb for that matter ..but of course there will be no harm if we observe such advice coming from experts. regards..

Hello,
I seem to have the same problem with my SD card reader (doesn't work on any card I could try). I read this thread, but I am kinda noob and I am afraid I don't get it.
Could you please give some step by step instructions how to do what Chef_Tony did? I really like the XDA Exec, but this SD problem bugs me a lot. Thank you very much in advance and sorry to bother you with this n00byrequest.
I always flash my Uni with SIM and SD cards inside, no problems so far (2/4/8 GB cards), may be it depends on different devices
