Sd card problem on Magician

Hi Bro,
I need some advice on O2 mini as my SD card is not working good.
Before I started my Rom experiment, the SD was working good with both the magician and my laptop.
I made a mistake and I did not backup my rom before I start flashing.
After changing to my new rom, seems like I cant inter-use the SD between my laptop and magician. The magician cant read anything from the SD if I put data into the SD from my laptop via SD card reader/writer. When inserted to the magician, it will prompt to reformat. The same thing happen when I slot in the card to card reader after writing something from magician.
Therefore, now, I cant use SD to update rom ect.
How can i solve this problem? Thanks
Russ

Have you already tried formatting the SD card? When an SD card is used for ROM upgrading the card becomes totally unreadable for both PC and Magician.

Zerimar,
I did reformat of the SD on my laptop before writing the image to the SD via ntrw.
However, after slotting back to Magician, then go to Bootloader mode and wait for the "start loading prompt" but that have not happen yet.
russ

I think I misunderstood you, sorry. Put the Magician into bootloader mode first then insert the SD card. It should then display the message asking you to press the Power Switch to start the upload.

Thanks for your reply dude,
I've tried that too. It does not look promising.
I hope there is nothing wrong with my sd slot in the magician and i dun think there is any hardware problem. I confirmed that the Image was written in the SD.
Initially the SD card was working well with the magician before i did any rom flashing myself. even with the 1.12 WWE rom i cant read the SD. I've tried to reformat using XP on my laptop, and put back to magician. Then the magician will prompt to format again. else i cant see the storage card in the file explorer.
I've tried:
1) Slot in SD and wait - DUN WORK
2)Slot in SD, disable Async USB, and slot in use to Magician and wait. -DUN WORL ALSO
3)Slot in SD, press camera, on/of, and reset and wait till the SD load screen- ALSO DUN WORK.
4)Go to Boot loader, the slot in SD and wait- ALSO DUN WORK
5) No more idea
I wonder if different rom version will not work with certain sd brand.
My details is : 1.12 WWE with big storage.
SD : Kingston 256MB
I've tried with 1.13 WWE also but the same problem.
Hope someone can help or anyone have the same problem before?

Hello, Try this one
I think if you get problem with the SD card, you can use Mr. OLTP ways.
First open this :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade
then
downloadls all the tools you need, from the site.
1. Unzip NL_11300_131_11200.exe (or any other shipped-rom) to get all the .nbf & enterbl.exe . click right your mouse and chose extract to NL_11300_131_11200\
then you must copy all the file from NL_11300_131_11200 folder to c:
ex: c:\temp (make a new folder "temp", and copy the file from the NL_11300_131_11200 folder).
2. Put NBFDEC in the same directory = open nbfdec folder, you will find release folder in there, open the relase folder and copy 2 file to c:\temp.
3. open the temp folder and find getdevicedata.exe, Copy the getdevicedata.exe to your Magician and execute it (it will not provide any gui displays or feedback whatsoever), open the windows in my device(in your PDA), search for getdevicedata.txt. then copy to your desktop, and open with notepad.
4. To decode nk.nbf -> nk.nb1 start a command window, go to the directory where you stored nbfdec & the other files & type: nbfdec -d nk.nbf nk.nb1
this isi the ex:
in cmd
c:\documents and settings\frans>cd c:
c:\documents and settings\frans
c:\documents and settings\frans>cd ..
c:\documents and settings>cd ..
c:\>cd c:temp
c:\temp>nbfdec -d nk.nbf nk.nb1
this will convert nk.nbf to nk.nb1
don't close the CMD windows
now open the Hexeditor (must use the newest version V3.x)
open file/nk.nb1
then klik replace button , in the upper insert 02 00 00 80 00 20
in the lower 02 00 00 b8 01 20
replace all, enter.
save file in same name.
then back to the CMD window
c:\temp>nbfdec -e nk.nb1 nk.nbf
and
close the CMD windows.
open the temp folder, plug your PDA to USB,
On your PDA press power,camera and reset to bootloader mode.
clik maupgradeut_noid.exe on the temp folder.
and follow the instruction. if shows error 120. repeat again clik maupgradeut_noid.exe this will start to instal your OS
FINISH
thanks to MR. AMPDA, MR. OLTP and Mr. SEAN
for helping me.

Pls follow the guides on the board a little more carefully! Mine is very good ;-)
When you dumped your rom image on your SD with your magician, you completely destroyed the MBR of the SD. Before you save the image to your laptop with ntrw, your laptop will want to format it, cause it can't unserstand the car
. Don't do that. just put it in your cardreader & back it up with ntrw. Then you can write back another image to the card with ntrw & put your card in your magician. Just as long as you didn't format the card in between the operations the bootloader will recognize the image on the SD by the word magician which must be the first thing it reads on the card. If there's a mbr instead of the word magician, no mather what the bootloader will not present you the image 'press power to flash'
Hope you understand know how to solve your 'problem'

Hello yeoruss,
did u actually fixed the problem with using the sdcard on notebook and ppc at the same time? Ive the same problem after storing my ROM on SD.
I simply cant use the card in both units. When i format it under windows, is works in Windows but not on PPC - The PPC asks to reformat the card to make it readable.
When I format the Card on PPC, it works there, but no more in Windows.
Im experimenting all the time but i cant see the solution
Edit: I did not changed the ROM on my Magician, i just tryd to backup my current ROM.
Thank u

verizone xv6175 ????

i got htc verizone xv6175 dead and can't boot even in boot mode with volume down power one how i can solve my probleme

Have you charged it? Are you sure you're holding down the volume down key and keeping held down before pressing the power key? If you can't, then you'd better take it to Verizon.

yes i did and the baterry is full

i folow this methode but i don(t have working HTC so i can't use if somone can help me
Method 3: The "goldcard" final method is a bit more intensive so follow closely:
(This method will unbrick 99% of all Maples regardless of branding)
•Get a cup of coffee or tea
•You will need a working Donor HTC device with a microSD slot and a microSD card that is smaller than 1GB (will be formatted) to create "goldcard" image using QMAT tools as described below
•You will need QMAT. Get it from revskills.de/index.html.
•Go to the Download Link and download the latest version and unpack QMAT
•Have some coffee
•Use a SD card reader in your PC to access the SD card through Windows. Format the SD card with FAT32.
•* Insert the SD card into the donor HTC device and connect the USB cable. If you unchecked "Allow USB Connections" in Activesync in an earlier step, make sure you recheck it so that you can establish a full USB sync connection to the HTC device.
•Open QMAT and go to the "Hardware Forecsics" (version 5.04 and below) or "Calculators/Generators" (version 5.05 and up) menu and select "Generate HTC Goldcard"
•In "Select device key:" select the Maple
•You will need the serial number from the SD card so click the "Get SD Card Serial from WINCE Device" button
•Once the Serial number appears in the box, click the "Save Goldcard Image to WINCE SD" button below
•If no errors pop up and all goes well, proceed to these next steps
•If you get an error or a popup saying "Goldcard for newer devices isn't implemented in newer devices", you must buy and register the software. Believe me, it's worth the small amount of $ you will spend to bring your expensive device back to life!
•Now remove the SD card with the newly written Goldcard image from the Donor HTC device
•Insert the SD card back into your PC using the microSD card reader adapter. Browse to the drive letter assigned to it. You will see no files on the SD card, this is normal.
•(If, for some reason your PC sees the SD card as unformatted, something went wrong. Remove it and reinsert it into the Donor HTC device. The device should see the card as unformatted and ask you to format it, say yes. Now go back to the "* Insert the SD card into the donor HTC device" step above and repeat the steps)
•Unpack your HTC, T-Mobile, or other factory ROM and copy RUU_Signed.nbh to the SD card. Once it had finished copying, rename the file to MAPLIMG.nbh. Remove the SD card from the PC.
•Make sure the Maple is off and insert the SD card
•Enter bootloader mode as mentioned earlier (hold the volume down button while pressing the power button)
•You will see a gray screen that says "loading". It will then find the MAPLIMG.nbh file and ask if you would like to start the update process. Follow the instructions and let the phone flash.
•You can also do the update using the Rom Update Utility with the USB cable if you like
•It will take 10 mins but your phone should boot fine and be back in action!

4. Launch Goldcard Tool
5. While ignoring the cid box, choose "Load GoldCard.img" and select the goldcard.img you just downloaded

Not solved for me
It gives me an error that's too fast to read then goes to SPL.
Once it was slow enough I could read it say "Not allow".
I tried different cards / memory pendrive etc, nothing works.
For me it was the goldcard.img file
Eventually found one that works:

[q] sd card issues

Hi guys,
I hope this is the right section to post this issue.
Does anyone have a solution to completely erasing data from a sd card, my problem with my sd card is that i am not able to delete files from the card or add any new files. I am able to copy files from the sd card to the pc though. I have tried formating it on various computer operating systems as well as on an android system.
What i get is the format completes but after reconnecting the card to the pc or phone, all the files that were previously on the card have somehow returned and the files are not corrupt or anything because i am able to view images and play music from the sd card. Is there any method I could use or is it time to let the memory card go?

Check for Errors
Try check your SD card for errors on the computer (Mount it first).

Hi JBMorris, i have tried mounting it to the computer still no luck, I used a program called active kill disk to format it and check for errors but the program freezes on the verify and checking for errors section. I think something about the sectors not being readable so I might as well get a new sd card and thanks for the suggestion!

I think you had encrypted it with some device before.... So if you insert in that device and remove encryption...
But if you have factory reset your device and remove encryption key.. Then it will be very hard (may be impossible) to format it or change permissions
Hit thank button if this post helped you

Hi killwish, that makes sense it is possible it was encrypted before as i used a different rom, so would you advice me to install the previous rom and try to format it?

Oh.. Yeah it is the solution.. If your card is in warranty

You should format your SD card through CMD
To format a memory card from command prompt, follow the below procedure:
Connect the memory card to your PC through card reader.
Click on Start > Run > Type CMD and click on OK.
Assuming the letter of the memory card drive is G.
Now enter this command.
format /q /x G: and press Enter.
Note: Don't forget to replace the letter "G" with your drive letter.

Hi Snehashish, i have tried using the cmd and get an "access denied error" even though i am using cmd with administrator rights. It seems to me there's nothing i can do as i have tried formatting using different methods.

Replacing Card
Hi guys,
Thanks for all the effort, my card doesn't have warranty and I will be replacing it, what I have learned from all this is to stay clear of encryption if you not sure of what it fully entails!
Cheers Fellas!
