Hey there...
my Orbit2 (polaris) was working fine for some weeks now.
Well, something weird happened. Since yesterday the Storage Card doesn't show up anymore on my Orbit2.
I have no PC microSD-Reader to test it with that. But what the hell is that. I did nothing with the card. Really weird.
Any suggestions? Maybe a registry thing?
Thanks
Time to time my Cruise loses the card too...
This happens especially when doing weired things like lunching TomTom with the usb connected to the PC, and a sync starts blocking everything.
Usually it is just enough to hot remove and reinsert the card to get it back.
Beware, if you are obliged to reboot and the card is not seen yet, the system creates a "storage card" folder in the system memory and if your card gets recognized after, its name becomes "storage card 2".
To get back things, with the sd card outside the phone you have to erase the folder "storage card" just created.
Also, looking at forums it seems some people got the card corrupted, thus requiring the card to be reformatted (experience not yet tried).
Thanks for the answer.
Seems to be, that I'm in bigger trouble because removing and inserting doesn't help ;(
Even PocketMechanic doesn't recognize any card. But the device recognizes that i insert something because the backlight turns on when removing/inserting the card.
Also noticed the thing with the folder.
Hmm.. is there a key in the registry that could have something to do with that?
Well too bad. Will need to get a reader anywhere. Wanted to get a new, bigger card anyway but i need the data, hope it's not corrupted.
Bye
try this:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\Auto Mount ... change to 1. if its alreay 1 change to 0 than again change to 1. becoz 1 to show SDcard. restert requer fot the effects.
hey,
got the same problem with the sd-card ...
why this happens :
- removed the sd-card
- started tomtom6 without maps stored on sd
- reinserted the sd-card
-> wm6 now did not recognize the inserted card !??
tried :
- softreset with and without the card
- changed the "automount" 0 / 1 and restarted the system several times (with and without the card)
- wm6 creates a folder called "StorageCard" ... deleted this folder ... restart ... different combinations of folder-delete / restart / registry change
but nothing works ... want to prevent the "hardreset" - any suggestions
thx

My phone is a brick when the memory card is inside and it only starts with it out. (This just started today and I never had the problem before).
And activesync no longer loads when WM6 does. I have a verizon xv6800.
I can't connect my phone to the computer because it will try to connect and fail. That means I cant do a thing with the memory card or help the phone.
everything's wrong only when the card is inside?
2 days ago my son was born and I used my HTC HD7 to take all pictures and videos of him and my wife, these were the most amazing and precious moments of my life and I captured them all on my phone.
My wife and I both have identical HD7 phones, last night I took my phone home and charged a spare battery for her, today I took this to hospital and we both turned our phones off and waited until the "goodbye" sreen had vanished, and then swapped the batterys over in the phones so she had the fully charged battery and I had the low/quarter full battery. When she switched on her phone, everything was fine, but when I switched on mine I saw some screen flash up saying something about "pressing the volume buttons to erase your phone" I paniced at this point and did a stupid thing and took out the battery again. After I put it back in it booted up and gave me the "seup windows phone" screen. At this point I switched my phone off and havent swiched it back on since.
Is there any hope of recoverying the pictures and videos? Apps, contactacts etc I dont care about, but these are the most important moments of my life I want to recover. I have no idea what happened, but at the moment I am very upset.
I am an IT technician myself, and in the past it has been all stored on the memory card, but there is no way to remove the memory card on this phone. I am willing to destroy the phone to preserve this data if needed, Is there any way I could remove the memory card? I could try some data recovery software if this is the case.
Please help, the might be a simple way to sort this I haven't been able to find. I have now been up 36 hours as my wife has had a lot of complications and lost a lot of blood last night and ended up having a transfusion. Sorry to be so personal, but I am really desperate to save these photos.
you might have accidentally held the volume button when you turned on the device, and that triggered that factory reset feature.
I have done this accidentally with my trophy as well when i was running late for work, but instead of removing the battery, i held down the power button and tried again, but when it turned on it didnt show me a setup one where you type in your windows live id, instead my one was an image of a windows phone suggesting to connect to a laptop via USB cable, again i didnt panic and turned off the screen and held down the volume button and the power button and i did trigger the factory reset in purpose, once i was at the factory reset screen, pressing any other button (camera key, and sleep/wake/power key) apart from the volume keys disables the reset feature and will continue to boot to wp7.
I dont know if Im helping, but thats how I resolved my situation.
How to remove memory card
Hi Herr_ando,
Firstly Congratulations on becoming a father
Secondly do not worry all is not lost, if you cannot get the handset to boot normally you can remove the memory card (without voiding the warranty too) A lot of people figured this out when they had fist purchased the HD7 and have since used the following video clip to help them upgrade the memory card size:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EcGUX3NwnQ
I have done this myself but had trouble when reading the memory card via a dongle (this is due to the differing format used by WP7) the way i got round this was either by putting the memory card into an old N97 nokia phone and using the pc software to remove the pictures from it or to use a flash drive recovery app found via google.
Hope this helps,
Creamy
It doesn't sound like you actually performed a factory reset so it's probably fine... but if you want to be safe, pull out the SD card like the previous post says. It might make you factory reset after putting it back in, but if you already save your pics and videos, who cares, right?

It's okay to take out the SD card and put it back as long as the phone isn't turned on in the meantime and nothing is written to the SD card.
So it's okay if you use the SD card to recover photos and put it back in, as long as the phone stays off in this time.
@herr_ando: Congratulations on becoming a father!
Hi guys, thanks for the congratulations.
I tried removing the memory card and plugged it into a card reader, no joy reading this card, in fact it wouldnt even detect. I also tried putting it into my Toshiba Camileo, which I know deffo supports SDHC cards of this size, was unable to see it at all.
Also tried it in a new laptop, with a micro > full size adaptor, no joy, and a blackberry 8520 with mass storage enabled still cant read this card, when I choose disable mass storage it tells me the memory card isn't formatted.
I know Windowsphone7 files on the memory card isn't supposed to be accessable outside the OS but this makes data recovery impossible for me.
If this was a PC HDD or standard SD card I could run some data recovery software, and try to recover these files even if the card has been formatted. but I have no idea how to do this for this card... any ideas?

Sadly, you need a Nokia cell as stated above, to read the card. Their OS is the only one that supports the partition format & password protection. I have 2 SD Cards that won't work on anything other than a Nokia cell because of this. They came out of a Nokia MusicXpress & Nuron my room mate had.
Hi mate
So you reckon if I buy a Nokia 5230 or similar I should be able to read this card? I should be able to pick one of these up for £35 or so, well worth it to get these photos back.
I have no experiance of nokia phones since the old days of my 3310. Do i need to use nokia software or does this present itself as a removable hdd in windows?
Many thanks.

Creamy stated the n97. I'm not family with all this as I never done it, but there's a lot of threads regarding this. People using Nokia phones to unlock & reformat SD card so they'll work for other devices. As to what devices this work on, I'm not sure, but as long as the card hasn't been erased yet, it's possible that a Nokia phone will be able to read the card & transfer files to your pc. You can look through the forum for more information from people with experience. My experience only deals with trying to get these 2 SD cards working with other devices & will result in for formatting the cards.
NOTE: Also, I do believe you need the nokia desktop software install to transfer file, but am not sure. Another thing, if you do find the sd card is empty, maybe reformatting it in the nokia phone, you'll be able to directly put the sd card in your pc & use your partition recovery tools on it.
Best Digital Media Recovery Software
Hi,
Congratulations on becoming a father!
If the memory card is not recognized in the PC or it is impossible to access the data on it, the controller on the card is damaged. There is only one way to get the data back, digital media recovery and directly access their raw data with a programable digital media recovery tool. Have a look at: RecoverDataTools DigitalMediaRecoveryTool
The phone suddenly no longer reads SD card, nor the internal memory. Settings> Storage displays all of the memory as Unavailable.
It all started yesterday when I took out the SD card. When I returned the card and switched the phone on, the problem started.
Computer and tablet normally read the card, so the SD is not faulty. I tried to insert another SD card in my phone, I doesn't read it as well although that SD card is also working normally in my tablet.
So, the main issue is that all of the memory from the device is not readable.
Is there some kind of general memory chip or smthng that can just collapse?
Computer does not recognize the phone, the phone notifies that the mass storage is connected but the computer shows nothing.
Have you restart your phone? Restarting the phone might solve your problem.
Always remember to unmount SD card from phone setting/storage.
I restarted it few times since yesterday to see if the card is properly inserted, I also regularly unmounted before taking it out.
So I unmounted, but the problem is that it doesn't want to mount now when it's back inside.
I also wrote that it's not just SD card, the phone doesn't show the internal memory as well.
Can anyone tell me if there is maybe some general memory chip that's dead or could it be something else?
I think you should take your phone to service center in your area. I''ve never heard problem like this before.
The SD card in my wife's Moto X Pure died this morning (phone is saying there is no card connected). When we first put the card in we picked the option that had the phone simply use the card as additional memory in the phone, rather than keeping the card as a separate entity where you would need to drag files. She thought that google was backing up all of her photos (including almost all of our baby photos), but when we went to recover them nothing had been backed up since we got the phone erasing 95% of the baby photos
I tried to simply take the card out and put it back in, but that didn't get me anywhere. I did a recovery on the card using disk digger and it found two very small DST files titled "Sector 420728" and "Sector 39189795," but neither one of them could be opened. The phone says that it is saving the data of the card (and keeps asking me to reinsert it), and she only had a few hundred pictures on the phone, not nearly enough to fill it up the space on the phone, so my guess is that the pictures are still on the phone but it can't access them.
I have thought about trying to copy the DST files over to another SD card and inserting that seeing if it gives the correct pathing to find the photos, but I don't know how to format it correctly originally and even if I did, if that will do more harm then good.
Anyone have any idea how to recover the pictures?
