Anyone have Micro SD issue?
I have a ScanDisk 2GB and the Flame always can't read it.
Every reset or the device trun off the card will lost,have to pull it out and put it back to make it read.
Anyone know how to unhide the Extended Rom?

Very glad to discuss about FLAME
Advise you to do the form FAT16 format to the memory card
mine also has the same problem, tried to format with FAT also FAT 32 but no luck.

Are you sure? WM6 for O2 Xda Flame?
I noticed this issue for quite long time and did some research works on it, currently the best solution is to use those TF cards made in Japan instead of those made in Taiwan. guess should be due to the control chip differences of the cards.
I am using a 2gb Kingston microSD and works well.
My big question is will it support the micro SDHC format for future cards that exceed 2gb?
Same issue with a Sandisk 2 gb. Tried to format in fat16. Not better.
But sometimes, after a softreset or a wakeup the card is available without the need to reinsert it.
I have send an email to the support. They answer 2 gb is not supported. But on the Flame website, it is written that 2 gb is supported.
Patriot 2 GB works fine for me.
Kingston is another brand I recommend, seconded by andyh's comment.
I used to have a similar problem but since i replaced with the new one, problem solved
I have go to the shop and change my micro sd from scandisk to transcend the problem sloved.

Copy all your Card stuff to your PC and do a format then try again if still don't work then you have to change your card
microsd cant be read by sony vaio
Transcend microsd works fine on xda flame but when i try to read it on my sony laptop, it cant be read. although it is possible in my toshiba laptop. what gives.
why there iz no reviews of flame in the internet!!
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.

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...
Hello, after installed Locations from Programs in my DHD my sdcard died, not instant but after a while maybe 12 hours. I have 1.72.405 update.. It was new years night so i dont remember to much
But then it just started to say: "No sd card mounted" or something.
Then i tried to put it in another phone the card is dead there to.
Then in a computer using an adapter, no success there either.
So is my card 100% dead or is it any chance of getting my data back, i was stupid and didn't have backup, to late now but you learn of ur misstakes.
Sry for wall of text, this is Short version
sdcard died a few hours after installing locations
no device founds it
help....
Loads of problems with this at the moment, everyones SD cards seem to be slowly dying since the recent update. The SD card isn't recognised in any other phone/computer as you say so the likelyhood of getting anything off it is slim.
Someone here has apparently spoken to HTC about it who have confirmed there is an issue with the new update which affects the unmounting of the SD card. The only thing they recomend is sending it back to HTC who will flash the phone back to the previous version.
I spoke to HTC myself the other day and managed to get them to send me another SD card - might be worth doing that. A factory reset doesn't work by the way, complete waste of time.
HTC phone number for UK is 0845 8900079 or 01279 206906 (same line, just not premium rate).
Take a look at these threads for people with same problem...

So if i buy a new card and havent send my phone to htc for them to flash the phone to the update before 1.72.405 the new card will brake?
I did go to the place i bougt the phone and they did say that the warranty didnt cover attachments so if i want a new card i need to send the phone and the card to repair, and the company that handels repair for most big electronic stores in sweden is the worst in the world.
How fast is htc at downflashing the phone?
I live in sweden if it has anything to do with how fast they are..

I've just replaced the SD card myself and havent had any further problems, everything has been fine since. No one else seems to have had any further problems either after replacing the card. I wouldn't bother sending the phone to be repaired, as I'm pretty sure it's just the SD card corrupted by the recent update somehow, not the actual phone.
In short, just get a new SD card, off HTC if possible. The number for customer services can be found here... htc.com/uk/CA_Hotline.aspx

My card has just gone down as well for no apparent reason - the phone was working fine and then the card stopped being recognised - I hadn't done anything with it.
I'm running 1.72.405.3.
Is there any way to recover the data from the card?
I fitted a 32Gb card over Christmas and that died within hours of being fitted which I thought was down to a faulty card although now I'm wondering if it is down to the HTC update.
So I guess the key questions are:
1. Are HTC going to be releasing a fix for this?
2. I have a new 32Gb card on the way - what are the chances of preventing that from being killed?

No.
I did take some photos off via pc connection last night connecting to it as a disk drive, but that is it.
I also have some apps installed onto it, but wasn't using any of them when it failed - I just turned the phone on to check email and it was giving an SD error or Insert SD card message - can't remember which and am trying to dig through logs to find out.

Hi there.
I installed the update the same day I got the phone. The Samsung MicroSD provided died 10 days ago; with stock rom - non rooted etc.
Can I talk to someone to get a replacement?

Called HTC last day about my sd card, gave them all the details they wanted and they told me that they will send me further info about if and when the new sd card can be sent. Hopefully they will understand and send me a new one.. No message so far though...
i had that problem with my kingston 16gb class 10, when i flashed a custom sense rom (but it was older base 1.32.xxx.xx) the sdcard died on me after rebooted. tried everything i could do to bring it back. so i left it for about week an decided to try it again...and it worked!! so maybe leave it awhile and try it again.
Has anyone heard any word on the MicroSD support in XOOM?
No word and I have been watching. Hopefully soon as I am running out of space. Have a 32GB card waiting to go in.
Im supprised no one has made a kernal that enables it haha. I cant wait Im fine on space but I want some custom roms
Enabling sdcard is a complex problem due to the way it is disabled. Rest assured some real smart kernel guys are looking into it. It is definitely not a simple fix.
... So I probably shouldn't have stuck that screwdriver into the SD slot?

P.S. This is a rumour i just made up.
I was looking through my logs and saw some odd lines saying that an SD card was inserted or used something along those lines. However, this is a brand new Samsung Galaxy 8 +and I have never inserted an SD card. Why would the logs say an SD card was inserted when I have never inserted one.
I understand it may say something about looking for an SD card but this actually says an SD card was inserted.
Can somebody help answer this question for me thanks.

Possible just a test during production, though I'd be surprised if they checked every phone these days but it might have been one in a sample batch.

I could see that, but I also noticed a few rooted programs on my phone, which I did not download, so I am seriously thinking I was hacked, but have no idea how. The odd thing is I did not download these rooted programs and I am sure they were not installed based on a backup from my previous phone. Someone else had to have put them on there.
Is there a for sure way i can tell in the logs if my phone was hacked from an external source? If so, how the heck do I make sure they do not get back in. Someone was telling me they had created an additional partition, which does not sound right since from my understanding they would have had to wipe the phone and started from scratch to do this, but the phone was not. I am really confused as to whats going on.
