Hi,
I'm new to this forum as well as to the HTC Raphael. I've got a RAPH100 and did the latest offical ROM Upgrade (ROM: 5.05.407.1 GER, Radio: 1.11.25.01DE, 52.58.25.30U) and now it's not recognizing my microSD card anymore. Before, I had to reinsert the card 2-5 times, but often it didn't work anyway.
My storage card is a:
Transcend microSDHC Class 6 8GB
MMAGR08GUDCA-DB
I F0240000 914
52511 2452
I already searched for a sort of patch, but typically it has to work out-of-the-box i guess.
EDIT: even freshly formatted it doesn't work

Bastard!! that was my first fix!!!
ok, more useful help:
1) its possible you're SD card has a defect your PC (through its card reader) doenst mind, but your phone does. If possible (ie you have more of these cards, or friends with the same phone) try your card in other (same & different) phones / other (same) cards in yours
1 i) It's possible your phone OR card has a minor pin problem - have a look & see if there is anything obvisously wrong with the card contacts / phone pins (you might need a torch)
1 ii) try a different micro SD card (any type or size) - if it reads 100% fine, then it is unlikely to be a pin problem on the phone (unlikely - not impossible)
[when i say pin here, i mean micro SD card pins / pickups / contacts, not any kind of password]
2) How about flashing back to the old rom (if its available)? - then testing again
3) How about flashing a custom rom? (this is a little involved - its not difficult, but will require some time to ready & understand before you start)

As card reader i use a simple microSD USb reader not bigger than the card itself+usb connector.

didn't work well at all. this was the reason why I upgraded. I flashed the rom in the hope of solving this problem.

well, assuming there's no other solution I would try it. I've already read a bit about custom roms, but atm I don't want to do HardSPL.
Hi The-Razor,
Guess what! I have the exact same card (not the numbers ofc.. , and the exact same problems!
A128 mb card does work. And the 8 gb card does work in other phones.
The weired thing is. In my Touch Pro info says that the cardslot is in use. But when you look in the memory settings it says, not installed...
Or do you have an solution already? I hope so...

This is a known issue with this brand of card.
San Disk or Kingstons work.

I'm sorry, haven't found a solution yet. I'm thinking of flashing the newest Energy Rom, because there are several users reporting that this could fix the compatibility issue. But I haven't already had the time to do so.
@Bruce:
After searching a second a time I found some threads about exactly that problem. I haven't found them the first time because I just searching in Raphael, not accessoiries ;-)
Well, I flashed the recent Energy ROM, which seemed to help at first but now my phone doesn't see the microSD anymore. But I put a ROM Image to the root of my storage card and booted into bootmanager et voila: it asks for update, so its not a hardware issue i suppose.

No, if the hardware can read the ROM image on the card then i dont think its a hardware problem. (Still can but not likely) So it seems to be a problem with Windows mobile or with (all!) the roms we are using.
Considering that this problem (now and then) excist in all ROMS i cant imagen that it are the ROMs that causing the problems. For sure when there are so many ROMs, aka: Now it seems that there is no ROM developper that can solve this problem. I cant imagen that. Those guys are smart enough to figure this out.
Considering that: Other cards do work WITH windows mobile AND with all roms we are using you might think that its the brand thats causing the problem... But i read more forums and it seems that more cards and brands can have this problem. But not all the time... Trancends is leading for shure but not the only one (adata)...
Considering that: My "defect card" does work in a card reader you would still think that it is the hardware... But why does the hardware read other cards then? So it really cant be the hardware...
Considering that its Windows Mobile then? That might be... But then again alot of cards do work in WM.... So that cant be the problem either...
Considering that all the cards must be produced conform protocol or standard xxx all the cards must work "the same" or at least be compatible with devices... But we know for shure that this isnt the case...
So:
Most cards work, so hardware cant be the problem, windows mobile / ROMS can read most cards. So that cant be the problem either. The problem excist in alot of Brands. A few got way more problems than other brands.
So might it be the production process of the cards? Are the cards being dubble checked when they are made or when the are ready? Is it the brand that sells all cards including the defect cards. And do some brands check there cards better then others... Might there be so little manufactoring problems they over see them. I guess more research would really help here...
Those cards came way to fast on the marked for budge prices... And it seems that we are paying the price for it now....

I have only seen this issue with the transcends or the aData cards which are the bottom of the line cards. I would suspect that the data transmit rate and consistency is what causes the issue. Even if you get the device to recognize it, you can't stream media from it without freezes, etc.
I have the same problem but with a 4 GB - Class 4 - microSDHC kingston.
Wmobile since I can not format it is as if protected. takes some files to read the card, including executables, coming to hang the device.
salu2
I had the same issue with the same card (Transcend C6 8GB). I was unable to fix the issue. Good luck!
I noticed:
My bosses Fuze wouldn't see it (stock rom)
My friends VZ Touch Pro would see it (stock rom)
My old 8525 would see it (cooked rom)
And a bunch of people at my work with the Titan, could see the card.
I just traded with a friend who had a Transcend C4 8GB card.
Here's my previous post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=525445
I changed it for an kingston 8 gb. That worked on the fly...
I now changed to a SanDisk 8GB ... working like a charm
My AT&T FUZE with the Energy ROM would only sometimes read my Adata 8Gb Class 6 Micro SDHC. I swithced it with an older Kingston 6Gb Class 4 Micro SDHC I had on my camera and haven't had anymore problems. Read about several people on different websites with the same problem. I could not find a fix either. The Raphaels just don't like those cheap micro sd cards.
Good Day! Friends please help for my trouble with this (MMAGR08GUDCA-DB) microSDHC card... All it's ok work, but today, flash card say to me: format not possible sd is write-protect! Oo but i'm not added write-protect nd no added some code for this card...
Please say to me, how i can formated this card?????????????????
I very very need your help, 2 days internet serfing not much normal result (( and i can't find any firmware tools to format this flash card (((((((((((
Formatting can be done using an micro sd-adapter (i dont know if you can set writeprotect then...). Then you can format the card in a normal pc. But if that doenst work also, then i would think it over to send the card back for an other brand. I formatted my old card on a normal pc to. That went fine... but then stil the rapheal dit not reconised the card....
So it really might be the brand... beside that, i dont know if a class 6 card works well...
I've reviewed the threads (many very old) on here and none seem to really address my concern, so here goes...
I have a 32GB Patriot Class 10 card for my Inspire 4G smartphone. I'm running Revolution HD rom and the rom's rock solid...great performance, battery life, etc.
For some damn reason, I cannot figure out why I'm getting errors from Android (Froyo) telling me that the SD card is damaged. It will prompt me to format and start over, each time basically causing me to reinstall apps and I'll lose pictures and video in the process each time this happens.
When it happens:
Windows 7 will not allow access to the card (only option is format) and Android device cannot (or will not) mount the card. Unless I format that is.
I've tried formatting via Windows as well as via Android but this seems to happen to me every 1-2 days now. It's getting really old and I'm about fed up with it.
I don't know if it's something to do with the rom I'm using, or if it's the micro SD card itself...or if it's (uh oh) the card reader port built into the Inspire 4G. Who knows. Maybe it's how class 10 works for all I know. It's really lame.
It might even somehow be the fact that I was running apps from the SD card. I don't know if this relates, but I've forced non-movable apps to the SD card sometimes via Titanium Backup as well. Maybe that plays a role in this.
I'm at my wit's end and don't know what else to do. Appreciate any feedback!
Did you get this card from eBay?
After you put the card in your Windows machine, when you are done, do you right click on the drive and hit "eject" or do you just pull it out?
Try the stock 8gb card for a day and see if you get any errors. I'm betting your 32gb card has the issue.
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using XDA App.
Hey fellas.
Just realized that I wasn't necessarily using the most current version of Revolution rom. I had beta 2 HD, which may have been some time ago. I re-flashed with the one released yesterday (v3.2) and re-formatted the card as well.
So far so good, so we'll see how it goes on my 32GB Patriot Class 10. Card was purchased at Fry's Electronics in Wilsonville, OR.
Also, I always "eject" the card from Windows and also "unmount" in Android before removing the card. Always!~
This has been asked in different forums but not specifically for the Inspire.
Now with any ROM that I use(don't know about stock)..my SD Card is consistently "Unexpectedly Removed". As you can imagine, this is a huge pain in the ass. Does anybody know what the hell is going on with this? I've formatted the SD Card with both the Phone and computer on separate occasions to see if that would have any effect...nope...still going on. Any way to fix this??
edit: Also thought I'd add that I'm using the cfx 4.2 builds and yes, I have tried to use different cards and got the same result with them as well.
Just got my new tf300t 2 days ago. Inserted micro sd card - all seems fine. Card recognized by the tablet no problems.
Got notification about JB update. Installed the update. Now trying to insert different sd cards with no lock. Tablet doesn't recognize any of them.
I replaced the tablet. Got another one from best buy. Exact same issue. Card reader seems dead after JB update.
Anyone heard anything about this issue? I couldn't find much info about it. I just can't believe that it happened with 2 brand new tablets in a row with me and no one else had this problem
Thanks in advance for any help

Have you tried formatting to NTFS
Yep. Tried fat32, ntfs, exfat. No luck.
I'm ready to give up. Too cards (16GB and 32GB) that worked in this tablet before JB update don't work now for some reason. They work perfectly fine in the computer btw.
I dig out some old 4GB micro sd and it was recognized instantly by the tablet.
So I guess it's time for a new card.
Hello
I purchased a LTE version of the Note Pro 12.2 tablet this week and have spotted a few bugs. After some research it seems that they are not unique to me but thought I should share in case anyone has a fix or is thinking of buying one of these devices and may appreciate knowing the limitations in advance.
First of all, Software Update. Whenever you check for a software update the device says it has been modified and no software update is available. I haven't (yet) but sure enough in About Device it shows as 'Custom'. I attempted a firmware reinstall through Kies which worked fine, Knox Warranty showed 0x0 and binary showed as official but still have the same problem when attempting OTA updates. Others having the same problem are being stalled by Samsung Service Centres whilst they look into the issue.
Second, there seems to be a problem with the Email app which causes FC every time you click on 'Attachments' in an email. Seems to be SD card related (I'm using 64gb) as it doesn't happen when SD card is unmounted.
Anyone else had these? Any suggestions for a fix?
Thank you.
Both issues are related. Folks have reported "no OTA available" because of issues related to the SD card. Try moving your files off of it, reformatting it (ideally on your N12 or another Samsung device, then moving your files back on to it. I bet if you take the SD card out the "no OTA" problem goes away.
Interesting...
I was experiencing a few issues with my Note Pro 12.2 wifi model. Only after I inserted a 64 gb card. the 32 gb card works great, however some apps are not having a few issues with not being able to read/write to the sdcard...
Namely ES File Explore, usually an almost perfect app, now it is not liking KK very well...
I wonder how it will act when I get the 128 gb sd card...
"poof"

Ah sorry I should have said I tried the usual fix-all routine of unmounting, removing and rebooting. No luck this time. Have also just tried with a 32gb card and had the same problem.

Good luck with that, the Software Update issue definitely seems to be limited to LTE versions.
KK does seem to cause some SD card issues, Pocket Casts can no longer save to SD card as the permissions and routines it used aren't there in KK anymore. I wish Google and Samsung would just agree on whether or not to support SD cards rather than a half-hearted attempt. Funnily enough, Google Play Music has no issues at all with the SD card.
dan,
where did you get the LTE model?
