i had this very VERY strange thing happen. On my universal i upgraded it to WM6.1. I was very nervous about bricking my phone at first, but everything went well, and i used my phone for about 6 months. Then all of a sudden, i'm walking down the street one day, and i get a phone call, and my phone decides to turn on the "Low Battery alarm" at the same time i pickup the call...
My phone completely freezes, and so i reboot my phone, and i get this "No SIM card" error. Which, i know there is a SIM card in there, because i didn't take it out, and it was working just fine only 30 seconds prior.
So, i went home, swapped out the SIM card to one of my old SIM cards (a number from a previous city) and viola! No SIM Card error.
Something happened to my phone at that moment in time and just like FRIED my SIM card. So, easy solution, i just go and get a replacement SIM card. Ok , DONE.
....Happy pimpin with my HTC Univeral, right?... WRONG....
At the same time this happened, my SD card slot just seemed to STOP working. Which is really weird. I even tried enabling some system background processes and whatnot, ...basiclly turning EVERY process on. But that still had no effect.
And i can do almost nothing useful with this device now except for make phone calls and do SMS. Having a large brick in my pocket just for phone calls is a bit of an overkill i think.
So , any suggestions? How do i get my SD card working again.
BTW, i'm in china, and every repair shop that i went to REFUSES to touch any HTC phone. There seems to be a massive education gap. But if i had a nokia phone it would be no problem for them....
*sigh* STUPID CHINKS!
*grunts*

Hi welcome to forum and well you can try to flash another rom and see if it works or not.. if it doesn't then might be hardware problem...
i'm downloading the original WM5 ROM now, and will try to reflash it tonight. I really never needed WM6, except for when i was at university (here in china), they had a problem with the CAT5 cabling, and had to redo all of it. And so the entire dorm was out of internet for 1 month. So i used my phone as a WiFi router to share my 3G data connection with my notebook. For some reason, the software would only work properly with WM6... *sigh*....
now i have a 3G Net card for my notebook....hehe
^_^
Details please?
Which ROM?
What SD card?Make?Capacity?
How is battery working?
Did you try ANY other cards?
Did you try formatting it?
Because SD cards getting corrupt is a very comman thing.
I did lost three 4GB SD cards last year and one 8GB SDHC. ( all made in China )
So I know how it feels.
Damaged SIM...it never happened to me.
As a rule in china... NEVER under any circumstances buy anything without a warrenty. HAHA. I've been here for like 4 years. But with that aside...
i can put the same SD card in my computer, and it reads just fine.
I have even changed from formatting it as FAT32 to FAT16, and still it doesn't register.
I have had the same problems with the 4GB cards too. Unless they're really high quality, they're kinda crappy and prone to defect. However, the card(s) that i have are low capacity. 512 MB, and 2 GB. So there wouldn't be any issues with the capacity of them being too large.
Ok, this sucks....when i try to reflash my phone back to WM5,.....it says i have the wrong image ERROR code 100 i think it is.
But i downloaded the Factory image from this forum for WM5.
I have WM6.1 on it now, so....how do i downgrade? Just reflash?
BTW, this is an English Language Version. So that shouldn't be too conflicting.

have a look on the Wiki
Perhaps using the MTTY app can help you
Good luck,
i found the reason why it failed....that rom is not ENGLISH
my SD card dissapered on my UNI when my battery got old. it seems it just didnt have enough power. I put an old SD card in and that works but i got a new battery within a week.
whenever my universal didn't have enough power for the SD card , it would sound the low battery alarm, and then tell me it didn't have enough power for the SD card.
I would think that if i can still run wifi for 40 minutes or so (on a full charge), there should be enough amps in the battery to turn on the SD card....at least...one would think *grin*
Ok, well, i somehow managed to get my phone flashed to WM5......using the German WM5 ROM mind you
It's actually not in german, everything is in english. Anyways, whenever i put an SD card in, it still doesn't show up.
The IO conctroller used in Uni usually never die.
I would suggest you to unmount the device, use a hot air gun on the SD socket connector and nearest different points.

It might just be a naff uSD card. I've had a couple of cards fail totally (Nokia, Desire & Sensation). The general advice seems to be to buy a uSD card made by recognised manufacturer (e.g. SanDisk).
On the other hand you say: "after half an hour phone turned off". Was it a complete power off in the middle of playing the game ? If so it might be fair enough if it's part way through writing stuff to the uSD card.
Has it been the same situation each time prior to having the corruption ?

Hmm,
1) mostly for no reason, no idea.
2) forgot to safe eject from the PC. Well we know the possible reason for that.
3) probably the same issue as 2) just on the phone instead of the PC.
1 ?? Might just be a card on the threshold of failing.
2 & 3 are probably due to the fact that the device was still being written to when it was suddenly not there. FAT can be a bit sensitive like that.
Try to unmount your SD card, take it off phone then put it in again, reboot.
Hope this helps!
My wife's sensation did the same thing, I had to take out the SD and put it into my SD card reader on my laptop, format it and then put it back in the phone. The phone then wanted to format it again which it did and now it seems fine.
By the way, the data was intact when I put it in my SDcard reader. I was able to back up the data before I formatted it.
i say quickly buy another 16gig micro sd for $8.00!!!
im trying not to advertise here but this is a deal that cant be missed, and i have order from this site so i can vouch its a legit site too thats where i got my 32ig for 20 bucks
1saleaday.com
I haven't searched but saying that I've never seen anything like this on Desire or Sensation threads before.
I went to copy something over to the phone (using Windoze Explorer) and when I looked at the contents. I saw the attached. The phone, when I use Root Explorer, and PC agree :-((
For reference I've used Linux, PC (Explorer) and ADB 100% to copy files over successfully before, so no posts about using one or not using one.
All the Filenames etc. have been completely screwed up. Looks like they've been converted to DOS 8.3 format.
I have never ever seen this before. I think I must have run something on the PC when the phone was USB connected. It's about the only thing I can think of, the phone/SD Card/ROM have been 100% reliable so far.
LUCKILY, I made a rare backup of my SD Card yesterday. I usually remember to make one once in a blue moon.
All I can think is to recommend folks to disconnect the USB drive when not needed and do Backups (of the Phone and also the SD Card).
Anyone seen this before ??
sorry to say this to you but your memory card has gone corrupted.
i know this because this has happened to me alot of times.
this happens if you use unbranded memory cards but this also happens to branded memory card.
the only solution i can give to you is buy a new memory card. and the main reason this happen when you connect your phone to your pc/laptop and use it as diskdrive and take the wire out while transferring data.
the only way to prevent is to use a safe remove usb and than change your diskdrive to charge only and wait till everything is loaded and then disconnect your usb wire.
also if you fornat your memory card it will work but i can tell you this that this willhappen again and this could happen without connecting your phone to computer. so to only prevent data loss buy a good new memory card.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm 99.8% sure it still works and he doesn't have to buy a new memory card yet .. I don't know where you get the idea that his memory card is completely dead! It looks like he still has his files, there's just all that junk in there! Worse comes to worst, he has to reformat it which I think may not even be necessary
Anyway, I've had a similar situation as yours and "repairing it" fixed those issues up. I didn't even reformat it, just repaired it. Try that! (Assuming you haven't already reformatted it anyway)

Update:
Card is fine. Just the filenames/pathnames got screwed.
As I said luckily I had done a backup of it yesterday, only by accident. I mounted the card on the PC directly (USB adapter) and deleted / copied stuff back.
It must have been something on my PC I ran as it changed the filenames/pathnames to 8.3. I did run something (can't remember the name) as I had problems doing the copy (SD Card to PC) for the backup. A few (4 if I remember) files were too long, exceeded the 255 limit. I D/L something to see what was the issue, turned out to be some book preview I'd accidently down loaded from the market.
All good and working now....
As I said just a warning that **** on the PC can screw the SD Card on the phone.
Backups (Nandroid and SD Card) are a pain but can be life savers.

i don't mean that he should buy a new memroy card because after formating/repairing it the memroy card will work but this corruption can happen again. if this happens again the onl;y thing he can do is buy another memroy card. this has hapened to my unbranded memroy card which was 16 gb class 10 and it happened atleast 5-6 times. since i couldn't take another corruption i have ordeered class 10 32gb lexar memory card which is working fine and its hasn't gave me any problem since i've been using it
Man that's what happened to one of my other 4 gb cards I don't use anymore. It was kinda funny. I ended up reformatting it, but an odd thing has happened... 3gbs went down to 1.7gbs... I can't even access the remaining 2gbs... no matter what I've tried.
I didn't buy a new card since it works just fine. Been using it as a "mini" file storage card for 4 months and no issues yet. =D
You sure everythings fine? A lot of files on that card read "0KB" which is definitely not a good thing.
Best of luck.
Anyone with any issues with an SD card should first attempt a low level format.
I'll leave you all to Google that one.
Sent from my MyTouch_4G_Slide
It's fine.
Just that something I used, never used it before, to check filename/pathname lengths (due to FAT issues), seems to have converted everything to DOS 8.3 format. The ones that didn't conform to that were created after a phone re-boot.
This was only as a warning that **** does happen and backups, while a pain in the arse to do, can save a load of pain.
Off to try some ICS ROMs now so expecting a load more pain, d/l, CWM, Wipe, Swear, revert back to CM7. ;-)))) Just need to make sure that nothing updates my HBOOT..
Try .. A Full format of the SD Card
You need to do a Full format and wipe of the SD Card .. I have " fixed" a few this way.
I use: HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool - Seems to work for me
Hello,
I have a broken usb and also the touch is broken....
So I can't get the photos via usb connection on the phone and can't upload photos to skydrive ...
Is there a way to get the micro sd card into the pc and get the photo out of it?
Insert to another phone with microSD or buy a Adapter "microSD to SD".
So with the adapter windows can read the sd?
Going to try it out
Of course!
Sometimes you will need install drivers, but it's no problem.

Warning!
You can't just remove the SD card from your device...If you do, It will be unrecognizable to other devices and PC's, you run the risk of never recovering any of the data on it.
WP7 devices security encrypts the SD card and it has to be unlocked before removing it from the device.
If you do remove the SD card make sure not to turn on your device while the SD card is out of it, otherwise your device won't recognize the SD card anymore either
If your device is Pre-Mango (which I highly doubt) some devices like a Symbian can detect it. If your on Mango/Tango there is no way anything will detect it unless you unlocking the SD card first.
Trust me I found out the hard way when I upgraded mine from 16gb to a 32gb SD card. No device will detect, format or recover any information from it and I've tried several PC's, cameras, phones, Symbian, software programs and even printer stations.
To unlock it you need to install XMod storage unlock cab. With your USB port not working I'm not sure how you'll be able to do it.

Well windows7 doesn't recognize my sd card...
also I can't do anything since the usb on my phone is broken
if you are lucky you enabled wifi sync in zune , if so you can sync with that
if not then you will never get to your data
The touch on the phone stopped working...
Seems it's a go to the trash bin phone...
So it's impossible to recover the data, when u have no phone to do it?
Is there any original wp7 phone with sd card?
That may be used to do it?

no because the sd card is locked to your phone and only your phone.
sorry but I think you will never see your data on your sd card again.
Damn...
This is so so so anoying....
[end of rant]
Sorry for my recent posts.
Why you don't repair phone? Maybe only need to change Touchscreen, also fix charging circuit?
Well, because is super expensive...
Around 100-170€ the fixing it
and I don't know if htc will flash the phone...
Or only saving all data from phone. I think you need only photos/videos? As I know, htc services only change parts or mainboards, they are not fix charging circuit or etc, when phone was broken. If give phone to htc or etc service without warranty, you can say, than they do not flash the phone.
I think, you can give the phone to other service and repair only USB.

HTC will never agree not to wipe the phone, in fact its doubtful anyone will, things happen, sometimes bad things happen, they promise not to delete stuff and something goes wrong, the next thing they have is a law suite
if your replacing the screen try do it yourself, id strongly suggest you replace both the LCD and the digitiser in one go, usually you can buy them combined which is a lot easier to install, replacing the USB socket is a bit harder but equally possible.
you might find a local tech that will can "try" to fix it all without losing everything, but they will never promise to do it.
Hello,
I've been lookng at lcd + touchscreen...
And I got a question, the ones I see on ebay (for example) say its for HTC HD2 T8585
I think my htc hd2 is the europe version, is there any problem with buying a lcd for t8585?
So about a month ago my HTC 8x started a continuous reboot problem. Not having any time that day I went to Verizon and had them switch my service back to my old Iphone. My plan was to address the problem at a later date. I did a little bit of reading and from what I gathered I was going to have to do phone reset. That was not a viable option because I had alot of pictures of my 8 month old on that phone. I had saved some of the pictures to the cloud but there was still alot that was not backed up.
One day I decided to to take the phone apart to see if I could find the phones internal memory. Now I'd say I am fairly tech savvy but I probably should have done some more research first in regards to this phone....man what a pain. Long story short the screen is cracked, the phone wont power on at all. I don't care about the phone but I do the pictures that are on it. I was wondering if anyone on this forum knows of a way in which I can remove the internal memory of this phone. What type of memory does this phone have, where is it located, how can I get to it, and how can I get it onto my computer without having the reassemble this phone. I am aware that this phone does not have a removable internal memory card, but I have not found any info on what type of internal memory it has...is it solid state, built in sim ect...
-Daniel
Any info would be appreciated
