im runing duty 4\29 now and have no issues or problems..same was with l26 v4 diamond...my device is working great... just that memory card is driving me bananas ,,,
howe somone can help..and thanks a lot...
Did you you try using the start=>run=>cmd=>FORMAT on a pc to format it. Did you make sure the write protection tab is set to unlock on the sd adapter. If it's set to locked remove the card first, then set it to unlock and reinsert it.
Also on the pc when you format it check the file system.
usually it wont do FAT32.
Just FAT will work.
Also the card should be unlocked anyway as you can delete individual files, so as ricethief says, you dont need to check that.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP
ok i turn on my phone and my storage card isnt showing up on my file explorer
and i have alot of things installed to it.
i am using a 8125
someone help
For start try the easy things.
Turn off your phone. Pop out your Storage card & clean it. Also blow (with your mouth ) in the slot. Put the card in again & turn on the phone.
If this doesn't work try & see if the card is working with a card reader (I hope that you have one). With the card reader back up your data & format it at FAT32.
If the phone still doesn't see it try formating it at FAT.
If nothing of the above works & also the card reader doesn't even see the card, then you have a corrupted / damaged card .
If nothing of the above works & the card reader can see the card, hard reset your phone & then try again. Of course with the hard reset you will lost all your data .
I hope something of the above to work for you...

You can do it only with a card reader or another phone .
I had the lousy 8125 for far too long. I never could get it to recognize a memory card. AT&T pushed the phone out to the market too early with a processor that choked on the OS alone,....that is why the 8525 came out just a short 3 months later.

Do you modify ur device? Did you perhaps install a Startmenu to Dll/Service instead of using an exe to start the starmenu application?
Hello i have one problem ... i have 16gb micro sd card and i cant format it .. if i format in pc .. all files is gone .. but if i take it in mobile(htchd2) all deleted files are back ... i cant copy anything or delete .. if format in mobile .. says cant delete ... unable to complete ...
please for answer how to result it ... thx for help
(sorry for bad english)
Seems like the format does not turn out very well. Please tell me, what file system are you formatting to? And are you sure your phone does support 16GB micro sd cards? If all else fails you could try a third party partition manager (Partition magic, acronis) to format the card. Even better would be to format it using linux, this works most of the time.
in pc i have win 7 ... formating (think FAT32) and i was use that card before im usin it about 1year ... in that time is everything ok ... but now i cant format ... (my phone support 32gb cards.) its HTC hD2 ( something info about phone ..) SPL 2,08 hspl 8g xe ... i before used AMandroid 2.3.4 cyan...
hmm ok, I suggest you try to use partition magic (you can find it using torrent networks etc. like thepiratebay.org). For some reason your pc just does not format it correctly which is highly unusual. So, in conclusion, if your pc and your phone do not want to format it like it's supposed to. Try using some third party software.
Also, isn't it sufficient to just delete all the files on the card? If so, use your phone to do this, it might also work and it would be the easiest option.
i try many programs ... but dont any effect ... and i try delete by ... MAGLDR v1.13 but nothing ... card maybe locked... ?? it is?? i try next day unlock it by reduction or i buy new card .... its esiest way .. to result it ...

Warez isn't tolerated here.
You can try and delete the partition in windows disk management. Right click my computer, manage. If you still have issues it's almost certainly a duff card.

Sorry, I forgot for a moment
Bump for this
I am having the same problem. I have a 32gb micro sd card that Im trying to use but I cant delete anything off of it or put any files on it. When I do try to delete items, it takes the time to delete the files and then removes them from the list, but when the card is put back into my phone the files are still there.This is also the case when I try to add music. The computer will take time to write the files, but in the end no new files are created
I have tried using windows to format it as well as SanDisks formatter. I also did a check disk in windows command prompt but no errors were returned.
It should also be noted that when I tried to reformat with Sandisks reformatter, I was using the adapter in my sd card slot and it said that the card was locked and to slide the switch. I tried it with a different card reader and the same error occurred. when I put the card into the phone it was "able to" reformat it. but the same problem is occurring.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
stupid questioN; but do you have activated some kind of write protection? ^^
Download MiniTools Partition Wizard (Freeware)
It fixed my SD-Card
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..
So I had this 8gb micro Sdcard that came with my phone and for Christmas I got a 16gb one. I had a lot of precious stuff on the older 8gb, so I put it into an adapter and connected it to my PC, planning to backup the contents and then put it on the 16gb. But when i connected it in, it said "This card needs to be formated before using". I first i thought the adapter was broken, so I put the micro sdcard back into my android phone so I could connect my phone to the computer and do it that way but when it turned on it said "Sdcard ready to remove". The phone wouldn't recognise it either!
I have already put other micro sdcards in the adapter and they work perfectly.
I have a lot of precious stuff on the micro sdcard so if there is a way to fix it without wiping everything, I'd be really happy to hear it.
Will give the person who answered best thanks in all of their last 15 posts.
Maybe try disk manager on your PC and see what format is says the card is..
otherwise try the phone again and again hopefully it will work. Ive had that before and a combination of playing with disk manager and the phone I managed to get the stuff off my card

i would try inserting it into your phone several times to try to get it to catch..also reboot phone while card is inserted..if you have to format the card you can still get everything off of it by using a program like "recuva" .. ive used it many times and it works like a charm..nothing is ever erased on a sd card..its only overwritten..so as long as you havent overwritten anything on the card you can easily get it back..formatting will not overwrite anything
Connect your card to pc, open mini partition tool wizard. Click on your memory in program and next open.
I tried putting the sdcard back into my phone several times and always didn't work . I went onto diskmanager and see screenshot below for info (it's g/ drive). I then tried formatting with various settings and always got a failure see second screenshot.

Hey. Thanks for the reply, I installed that program but it confuses me. How do i access my sdcard with it?
My sdcard is not partitioned or used for swap or anything.
Oh and I've tried formatting with exfat, fat, fat32 and NFTS and always fails
Do you see your sd card in this program? If yes try wipe volume
I checked your screens and your card is RAW- file system is broken or is unknown to the windows , try this:
1
close ALL your programs, insert your sd card to your computer and ONLY WAIT,(15 min.) do nothing, dont touch mouse (weird? yes but your computer will try to repair file system, fot 2gb is less 5-10 minutes, but your is 8 gb class???, that wait more)
2 (optional, but you should try 3 point)
Format your sd with windows installerr (format it during window installation using windows setup disc) you can cancell instalation after format without probles
3
If still nothing (after 25 minutes) try this program http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/index.html - IT IS LAST OPTION WITHOUT SPEND MONEY
Tell me if it worked.
So I've been searching around for hours about my SD card not working anymore and can't find a answer.The problem is I can't put anything on it or delete anything off it on my tablet or on my computer.If I delete the files they come right back after I reboot or if I delete in computer they delete but don't go to recycling bin and as soon as I take it out and put it back in the files are all backI've tried to reformat with numerous programs and some say it can't do it,some say I need to remove write protection and some it says it does it but it doesn't.It isn't write protected,I made sure the switch was in position it is supposed to be in.
I've tried multiple readers and still no luck.I was able to copy the data on my computer but can't add anything to it.It is the sandisk 64 GB one.I've been using it for about 6 months now in my Asus tablet and haven't had one problem with it.I use root folder mount to store all my game data on it so I can play all my games.I'm just curious if anyone else has had this problem.I can't find a answer anywhere about my problem.I've found hundreds of things about the card having errors but I'm not having any errors.I'm trying to run a program now and I'm hoping that this works but its still running now.I'm using HP USB disk storage format tool now and doing the long format.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks
