Hi,
I received my new Touch pro and it worked fine for a day, i noticed that it would stop reading the card. i would press the back and the thing would read again. take the card out and put it back in and it would work. then it stopped working all together. No matter what i card i put in it does not read at all.
I put the card into my PC to test and it wont read, i put in another card and it reads fine in the PC but not in the phone..
does anyone know of any utilities that i could use to repair this card.. maybe the FAT table got screwed up.

if your PC read the card, so i think not the card is damaged
i think your diamond pro isnt work well...
no..
I have 2 cards.. a 8 gig and a 1 gig.
the 8 gig worked fine until my diamond pro broke it. it will not read in the phone or the PC. my 1 gig wont read in the phone but works fine in the pc. the card reader in the phone is now dead and the 8 gig is now dead. when i put the 8 gig in the pc it will come up with a drive letter but with a 0 file size and when i click on the drive it tells me to insert disk.
so does anyone know of a program to repair the SDHC?
firstly, thats a Micro SD card, not a SIM card.
Secondly, please could you give more details on make/how old/type of the SD cards trying to be used.
Chances are it was still trying to write when u pulled it out, so it needs formatting.
if you format it make sure it is the right format!

I figured that you noticed after my second post that the subject was wrong..
anyway.. its a 8gig SanDisk about 8 months old. also there was no chance that it was trying to write when i pulled it out. if you look at my first post you will see that the card reader on the phone is damaged and im looking for some type of program to repair the Micro SDHC card...
I am not going to format the card.. I need the information off the card and Ontrack wants 100 to look at the card and 400 to recover the information. This card worked fine with my other pone until i got the diamond with the bad SD card reader.
There's no such thing as a Diamond Pro; only a Diamond or a Pro. As you're talking about removable memory cards I assume you mean the Pro, in which case you're in the wrong forum and you're likely to get more constructive feedback here.
You guys are killing me.. What does that have to do with the fact that I have a bad SDHC card and want to know if there is any application out there that could help me out. If nobody has one to help me then I guess that’s just the case. You guys really get tied up on minute detail rather than the situation on hand. I will edit the subject again, and maybe it will get moved over to the Raphael area..
Thanks for your responses..

Might be a daft question but, have you tried chkdsk?
If that doesn't work how about a/ looking at the card with parted (or similar) in Linux or b/ finding a hex editor that will read the disk 'surface' directly.

Same difference, sounds like Mugglesquop got it right to me!

i will try my linux box in a few minutes..
let me clarify..
i would go to file explorer and it would see the card.. i would try to go to a directory and ht would not see the card and only show my device. i would take the cover off and press on the back, turn the phone over and it would see the storage card again..
so technically if it had a loose connection and while browsing the directories it lost connectivity that could have possibly simulated the removing the card while it was writing issue.
Eh..
Thanks guys.. the linux box could not mount the card.. Ill send it out for recovery.. :-(
Try following the links from this Artemis thread for hints to recover any salvageable data.
I guessed, along with others, early on in this saga that writeback cacheing could be the culprit.
The 'fix' that eventually solved the problem tends to suggest that hardware, (bad contacts etc) wasn't the problem IMO
The end result is the same though, the FAT or mbr gets messed up.
How about fdisk/mbr on your SD (research first though please).

Funny, I was just searching Google for a fix or repair software for my SDCH card that my Fuze broke and ended up here (my favorite website). I guess is a phone realted issue?
i know this isnt the first of this post. people dont use search anymore. but i had bought an 8gb sandisk card for my fuze when i bought the thing. shortly after the card went all stupid on my like everyone else. i was told by att it wasnt an issue with the phone, it was the sd cards. att replaced it for free, quick and easy, no questions asked. see if you can get it changed out for you where you bought it.
my htc hd7 driving me crazy and i tried many roms but still the same problem after 5 or 7 days of flashing the new rom my phone suddenly do a hard reset i lost many pictures and many other because of this can any one help me plz
Sounds very much like a hardware bug. I'd get the phone replaced under warranty if I were you.
Are you flashing stock ROMs or custom ones? The custom ones may be less stable than the stock, but you shouldn't be having the problem you describe anyhow. Does anybody else have access to the phone? It's entirely possible for kids to accidentlaly hard-reset the phone; it takes a little effort but less than you might think.
i flash custom roms and no one touch the except me and my phone warranty expired
It's entirely possible that the custom ROMs are buggy, and even slightly possible that they damaged the phone somehow (not likely, but possible). Have you tried flashing a stock ROM and seeing if the problem continues? Be aware that it will overwrite HSPL if you do so, but it's easier to re-unlock the bootloader than handle constant hard resets.
If that doesn't fix the problem, you're probably SOL. I've not heard of anybody else experiencing what you describe unless it was a hardware problem. I guess you could try opening up the phone (it's tricky but totally possible, especially if you don't mind voiding your already-expired warranty) and re-seating the internal microSD card.
i opened the phone and re-seated the sd card now i must wait 5 days
if it reset again i will try to flash it with the stock rom
I hope that helps! Sorry I can't offer more advice (except to search for anybody else who has had this problem). My HD7 has stayed perfectly stable without a single unexpected hard-reset, so I can't help you from experience.
Have you changed the stock sd card to a higher capacity/different sd card at some point?
This could be the cause, if the card is not 100% compatible/fast enough etc. After 5-7 days of use the memory card could reach a point where it has certaint level of data and the problems start.
EDIT: Asking because you so nonchalantly told you opened the phone and re-seated the sd card, kind of gave me the impression you did it before?

hhh yes i did it before to change the sd card from 16gb to 8gb class 2
i noticed that if i put the phone in my pocket it became too warm from the down back side maybe this is the cause of the problem
and it get very hot if i put it in charge too
The class 2 card is too slow, stock is class 4. Putting too slow card in the phone can cause all sorts of problems.
I changed on my HTC 7 Pro from SanDisk 8gb class 4 card to SanDisk16 class 2. After 4 days or so it started to cause resets and after little more time programs wouldnt run anymore etc.
Now I ordered a Samsung 32gb class 10 that people all seem to have good results. It was 32eur delivered. The phone is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy faster and no more problems at all. I installed it a week ago.
What I read its not only the class either, some cards seem to have compatibility issues also. This Samsung card seems to be working for everyone, but there are more choises.
The "class" rating on SD cards is a rough measure of their sequential read and write speeds. This is important for things like cameras, which need to rapidly write a lot of data in a smooth sequence. The phone needs a certain amount of this, but not much - Class 4 cards are about as slow as you can buy today, and will do just fine. What the phone does need is extremely fast random access. Many SD cards, especially "high-speed" ones, actually perform relatively poorly in this regard. It's generally not tested for, either, so even within the same brand of card individual chips may vary.
Im sure whats above is correct, I dont know much about the tech side of this.
However Im pretty sure the OP's problems are due to the sd change.
The thing for me and what Ive read for others too, is that the problems do not start right after change of the card, everything looks normal for a while.
yes every looked normal in the first week but before this class 2 8gb sandisk card i tried a normal card calss 4 16gb and it didn't work
Reliable 32gb Samsung SD card ?

I don't suppose you have a link for this Samsung card do you ? I'm a bit wary of buying SD cards due to all the problems with compatibility and fakes.

Well I know about the fake cards, specially on eBay. I bought from eBay , German seller, member since 99 and sells a lot of memory.
The seller seems to have raised the price for the card little since I purchased, I paid 27,90+shipping. (he had +10 sold at that point, now 40)
Here is the link for that :http://www.ebay.de/itm/180835219519.
EDIT: The price seems to be at the right ballpark for this card. I saw similar price (discounted) for the same card on some store link posted here at XDA. It was some of the topics regarding memory upgrade on WP7 device (most likely at HD7 or HTC 7 Pro section).

Thanks.
I have to hard reset my phone this weekend due to a bizarre problem with Internet Explorer on my phone, if that doesn't fix it, I may swop out the sd card and flash my first Rom
Do keep us posted on your new card.

Im using Ansar's lates rom btw. When I started to have problems with the old card I didnt flash a new rom, just changed the card and did a hard reset... Tomorrow I think it will be 2 weeks with this new card, no weird behaviour at all.
i changed my memory to sandisk 16 gb calss 4 and now my phone reset and restart many times a day omg i can't find the samsung calss 10 in my town and i can't buy from ebay
There are other cards that work too. You can find more info about cards here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883582
Read and surely you can find a card you can buy from your city.
where i can find the memory card references?
Just started happening recently... First on my 64gb adata card, which I replaced because I thought it might have been a card error... So then bought a new Samsung 128 gb card and the same thing happened... I'm on Rompit & Tdunham's latest lollipop rom... Has anyone experienced anything similar? Any input is greatly appreciated!!
No idea. One of the guys said he folded up a small piece of paper and placed it above or under the card to give it the slightest extra pressure and it helped keep the cards contacts seated better.
Hi, I just purchased a Galaxy S7 SM-G930FD and wanted to do the 2 sim and 1 SD card mod so that I could have both my lines plus SD card however the mod got stuck in my tray, I damaged the micro SD card and Sim card and I had to push the eject tool so hard that it damaged the ejection mechanism! Now the tray won´t go all the way in! What´s the replacement part that I need to order and where can I buy it?
Thanks!

Hi
Check in Ebay they have them OEM or generic
Thanks, What should I look for?
Hi! Thanks! The thing is I don´t what to look for. I´ve searched for the motherboard but that doesn´t have the card slot, neither does the front or back chasis. I would prefer to buy a piece that includes the card slot so I won´t have to solder anything.

Hi Max 404, Thanks! but the tray is in perfect condition, what I ruined and need to replace is the slot where the tray goes, would you happen to know which part of the phone comes with the card reader slot? I´ve found the reader itself but I have very little experience soldering.
Thanks a bunch

That is going to be very expensive , is the mainboard and lots of disassembly...not easy at all
Check here (step 11)
Here part number , plus no IMEI you have to get someone to transfer your original Imei to the new mainboard.......
Did you ever successfully fix it?
Same problem on S8+
after bending 2 eject tools to get the tray out (had installed 2 SIM + Micro SD mod) I managed to get the tray to stick out from the phone for like 2 microns!. the tray wouldnt move out any further so what I ended up doing was to pull the tray out with the help of dental floss! as genius as I thought I was, soon after I found out that the tray no longer sits flush inside the phone. even without any SIM or SD card. the tray it self looks alright. I think I have damaged the eject mechanism as well. Has any one solved this issue? am I looking at a costly repair? could it be the tray being deformed?
I cant post pictures sadly yet here. would appreciate if any one can help.
I have an off brand Micro SD card and it worked well on my S7 but on the Honor 8 it appears to consistently give me an error that the card is corrupt (it also mentions it's a Sony card instead of a Silicon Power card.)
I did manage to get ahold of a Samsung 256GB card that I haven't opened yet. But the specs show this device only supports up to 128GB. Anyone know if the spec sheet is wrong here?
