My brand new Vox is continously rebooting. The only way I can get it to boot is to take out the microsd card, then put it back in after it boots. The microsd card works fine afterwoods, but its really annoying.
Anyone else have this problem?
Looks like you installed something which the Vox doesn't like.
Perhaps facade? (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307378)
Had the exact same problem. Removing the microSD worked also.
Afterwards it was working fine. The problem started after installing
BatMonitor on the device. Removing it solved the problem permanently.
I would suggest you go through the programs you installed and check
to see wich one is causing the issue.
Thanks guys, I have a feeling you are both right and it is a programs I have installed. I wonder if it's newsbreak as my data file is on my microsd card. I guess I should wipe the device and start over....
For a temporary fix, remove the MicroSD, boot, then put the MicroSD back on.
For a more permanent fix: Install SKTools Lite and run the "Notifications Queue" tool. Then Press ACTION > Mark Duplicates. If you scroll down you will see some duplicates checked. Next press ACTION > Delete marked.
That should keep you running for a while. If the problem re-appears in the future, repeat this procedure.
Thanks. I read that post on Modaco too, but it didn't work for me. For now I just remove the microsd card when I reboot. I guess I will wipe the device and start over at some point...just had everything I wanted loaded right

Had the same problem. Thought it was the Facade, but it turns out not. I don't know what it is but I basically did a hard reset. Put everything I wanted back into the phone and than turned on without MSD card. Once it rebooted, I put the card back in. Since than no reboot problems so far.
I had the same problem, although I am not sure if it is related to installing any particular program. Initially the phone was fine and then it started re-booting on startup. I saw a suggestion of running SKtools and removeing duplicates in the Notification table, this worked for a while, then it came back again.
At first the only cure appeared to be to re-boot without the sd card inserted - inserting it again after the phone was running (I even had the same problem if a blank sd card was card inserted)
I then read about someone putting the phone in Flight mode before turning it off - this also solved the problem - better than removing the card each time.

yep, this happened to me, although i have no programs installed on my S710! (tho it did have a nasty drop onto the ground - which shouldnt realli affect it)took out the card, and it booted up fine! i keep my phone on 24/7 normally but had run outta battery!
Cheers!
Formatting the MicroSD card worked for me
Problem came back again today, and sett flight mode did not fix it, then i found this http://www.modaco.com/Continuous-reboots-t256186.html
which suggested renaming omap850_sdhc.dll to omap850_sdhc.dll.ol
but in my S710 I only have omap850_sdhc_mux.dll and that file is in rom and I can't copy or rename it.
Looks like it might be a sd card driver bug.

have you tried to edit the file with a copy of total commader??? sorry if it's such an obvious question...
I did try this with Total Comander!
Looking around at other posts/forums it looks like it is a WM6 problem. Probably related to the SD card driver.
At the moment the only consistant suggestion, is to reboot with the SD card removed and insert it when the phone is back up and running.
I managed to get the phone to boot with the SD card inserted!
I know that when booting that I do not run any applications which are installed on the SD card. But the home screen does display things which are located on the SD card - in particular the skype plugin, and the mru list display icons from files located on the SD card.
I change my homescreen to "Sindows Simple" which does not contain either of these and re-booted.
The phone came back up first time!
- Is windows trying to access the card too soon - before the driver has loaded maybe?

Not sure if its trying to access it to soon but with my HTC Herald I had similar problem. By removing and home screen plugin's related to the memory card, as well as any other links to the memory card such as storing PIE cache and saving pictures it seemed to work for a bit, but just as I thought I solved it, the problem re-appeared. Paul seemed to have fixed the issue for ppc's (sdhc dll that was causing the problem)but it doesn't seem as though the solution can be carried over because the vox is not SDHC. Another cause the some speculate is that there are multiple notifications that boot at the same time, maybe cleaning these would help.
On another note I have just upgraded my friend's vox to the dopod rom and it seems as if the problem has disappeared (hopefully for good.) I will try to invoke the problem again by running programs from the memory at boot and see if this nag has been squeezed out by HTC sister company. Has anyone else tried to upgrade to the dopod rom???
cheers
Hi,
I had previously removed duplicate notifications and ensured that no applications on the SD card were run at start up, including setting the browser cache back to the phone memory.
I can now cause the problem to occur or boot normally just by switching homescreens.
I edited my home screens xml to remove all plugins that refered to applications on the sd card, including the mru list - this home screen allows normal boot. The other version causes the re-boot loop.
Mike.
I can confirm that my numerous attempts to invoke the boot-loop after upgrading to the dopod rom have thankfully failed.

boot loop 12083798
Ok so maybe the boot loop has gotten the best of me (atleast 40 hard resets) over the past couple of months, but the problems have been choked to death on my herald and the vox...any last words...
EDITS if this mf'er pulls an Arnold like "I'll be back" I swear ima go all terminator on this phone and blow it to pieces with a pack of m-80's
I managed to solve this problem on my phone by renaming the directory "/windows/Autorun/Storage Card" to "/windows/Autorun/OldStorage Card"
Maybe it would help in your cases..
Hi All - I've got an unlocked 750 using it on T-Mobile. It's been working great up until a few weeks ago. It stopped downloading email. If I take out the SD card, the email downloads. Put the SD card back and once again email doesn't download. In fact, I can't even open the program with the SD card in place. The phone locks up. I've done multiple soft resets with the card in place and out.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Check out for SD card slot or SD card.
It is 5% chance to have that problem because of this but....
2 weeks no single SD card worked on my Palm.
every time phone notice me by some beep or sound but it simply does not recognize SD card.
I was planing to sell it for "couple of $" as damaged but i said to my self
"why not use it, it has plenty of internal memory about 50 mb. only i must to say BYE to mp3 or videos"
and once again i push SD card that didnt work and suddenly STORAGE CARD appears in File Explorer. I was happy
Now i try not to do open/close so much...
Viva la buggy Palm
Odd issue....Running Smoked Glass and everythings been smooth as hell. then out of no where my SD card isn't available. YES, I have rebooted, popped out and in, same with battery. All no help. I get the "SD card is Damaged" and obviously not usable.
HOWEVER!!!
When tethered to pc and mounted...all the SD cards data is there on my pc. Unmount and the card is suddenly "damaged" again....so WTF?????
Yes things are backed up, but I want to figure this out to insure it doesn't happen again and to aid others.
Any clues?
Thanks........
Dan
This happened to me a couple of days back. It happens when your phone is tethered to the PC and the SD card is mounted and then you just unplug the phone while the PC still tries to write something to the SD card.
Try to put the card into the card reader, go to My computer->right click on the SD's drive->Properties->Tools->Error-checking->Check now, and let the program check for errors. I haven't tried this, so it might not work.
If it doesn't work, then do what I did: make a backup of everything, format the card, error-check it again, and copy everything back (this is also a great opportunity for a little "spring cleaning" of the SD card ).
And remember to always use the "Safely remove" feature on your PC.
There is also a thing on your phone in which you can have it unmount the SD card. Always do that when you're taking your phone off. I know it seems tedious, but thats why you're not supposed to just unplug your computer or yank a flash drive out.
try to use this formatter ,hope it help .
Wanted to thank the moderators of the board for their time spent here. I've learned a lot. Using a Droid Incredible on VZW network that's rooted and flashed. It works beautifully fast compared to the stock rom, so thanks goes to chingy51o because the Incredibly Re-Enginnerred 2.3.2 works like a dream! Thanks man!
The problem I'm having is when I reboot the phone in normal mode and it starts back up, the notification "Preparing phone storage... Checking for errors..." and it's referring to the SD Card. It does not go away. I've waited for it for about an hour and it doesn't disappear. I can view the contents of the sd card with root explorer and also mount the sd card on my mac and read/write the contents.
The card is a Transcend 16gb class10 card. Brand new yesterday.
I have found a solution, but I'd have to do it every time the phone reboots.
If I go into Settings>SD & Phone Storage and Unmount SD Card then Mount SD Card, the notification goes away.
My question is how can I get the notification to go away w/o doing this every time the phone reboots?
Thanks.

I need assistance to restore the external sd card on my Galaxy Tab plus. For some reason My Files began crashing on start-up. I then discovered that the extStorage link was no longer available in any explorer. When I open the settings menu and click Storage it force closes as well. I tried a Factory reset to no avail. I located a new Myfiles.apk on line, but it wont install.
Please, if anyone has any ideas short of flashing the rom, let me know.
Now I'm kind of a noob in regards to tablets, but if it was me, I would turn off the tablet completely and then remove the microSD card. I would then turn on the tablet and make it is functioning properly. If so and if I had one, I would plop in a different microSD card and see what that does.
If that is all working, then suspicion falls on the original microSD card. I would then put the microSD card in a SD or USB adapter and insert that into, again if you have one, a laptop or desktop computer. If it does, see if you can copy the files over to the computer and then use the computer to refomat the card to "Fat 32".
I would then take the card out and plop it back into the tablet and if everything is working.
If so, dismount it from the tablet, insert it back into the computer, copy your files over and then plop it back into the tablet and see if it now reads your files properly.
This is kinda like a crime scene, you need to do small discrete tests to see where the problem lies. Is the culprit your tablet or the tablet card port or the microSD card or a corrupt file on the card or was it Colonel Mustard with a knife in the parlour closet...
G.B.
And remember, talking dogs are liars.
Been there, done that.
Ja, I have tried that approach. It seems this criminal is a tad more sinister. I think my only option now is to flash the stock rom. I was hoping to do that when ICS came out though.
Thanks for the help!
