hi,
i have a t mobile ppc edition.i have a 512 mb sd card,and when i install programs on my sd card after 2-3 days all the programs are erased and it keeps happening.can anyone help me pls?
there is a problem with sd/mmc and multiple inserts/removals. Its a bug of WM200X and there is no fix for it. I unlock my sd card only when I need to change the data on it. Otherwise my card stays locked. Do a search on this forum for "Multiple SD" and "SD Erase". Good luck!

SO this bug is only WM2003/WM2003SE, no PPC2002?

This bug only on wallaby's (XDA 1) running "WM2003 " it doesn't happen on WM2002.
I have an XDA 1 running 2002, and the SD card wipe problem also seem to happen to me.
I have an O2 Rom version 4.01.12 Eng.
According to this page: http://www.kbalertz.com/kb_843287.aspx
the problem might be related when two or more programs try to access the same files, so the data becomes corrupted and apparently being wiped...
Anyone have a solution or a suggestion?
I tried to follow this thread for a fix (Rune quoting spadb): http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=7230&highlight=sd+files
I can find in the registry a reference to a SD.DLL, but can't find it under file explorer, even when displaying hidden items.
Maybe one of you other XDA1\Wallaby users can find it in your device?

Well, i guess i'll stay with PPC2002 then...
edit: and upgrade my signature
edit2: I had an SD-wipe-out few days ago with wm2003 4.01.12...so after searching on the forums i decided to go back to ppc2002...

Not searcherd for it on the device. But in the basic ROM its in there...
Should be located directly in the windows folder. i think you have to enable your device to see all files. Normaly dll's are hidden...
HTH
Stefan
I've enabled my device to see hidden files...
Can you upload and attach that DLL please?
I'd like to try to tweak the registry a bit :wink:

Can anyone else confirm this? :roll: i really dont like PPC2002 but i dont want a wipeout again...
I'm afraid I can't confirm that, I tried to format many times as FAT32 or FAT16 and I experience the same problems as before...
Try this patch, it worked with me 100% on my Wallaby device with no SD erasings since more than 3 months 8)
Use any registry program (Resco Explorer 2003 is great) to install the registry keys or enter it manually..
Don't worry, the patch is non-destructive at all !
( you can do a backup before running this patch if you wish :wink: )
i saw stefan has a much longer version of this. does anyone have any experience with either file? BTW should i even do this if i have never had the problem before?
cheers
Similar problem on XDA II
I have noticed a similar disease on my Qtek 2020 (XDAII):
When I run it with an SDCard 512 Mb there is no problem at all, goes perfect, but as soon as I put in a brand new 1 GB SD card it crashes within a day or two. And it is irreparable... I've sent back one card to the supplier, but now on my second try with a new card and after reading in this topic I begin to felle a bit coldsweating... :x
Anyone else who has specific experince of this on XDAII?
Yup. went to use navigator today and found my SD card was nor showing. Tried it in a digicam at work which crashed the cam.
In my card reader here format shows as RAW and am having a help of a job getting it reformatted.
I use the XDA II
I also face similar problem, what i used to do is just take my sd card out and re-insert
and it worked for me
removing and replacing the card has no effect for me.
can anyone help with formatting an SD card (1GB viking) that is "unreadable" in a card reader and in RAW format??
pretty please?!??
Hey guys,
just received a letter from Softbank containing a 128MB MicroSD.
The letter included said, this Card is to be used to update to the new rom, which we all know by now.
upon checking the contents of the rom. The files used to upgrade seem to be hidden. 32.6MB free memory is left which leaves about 87.6MB for the rom files and (possibly) the update routine.
Anything we can do with this?How can i get the hidden files to show up.
PS...there is no claim for the MicroSD, so i guess i dont have to send it back.
pop it in your memory reader
i haven't tried this but it may work... put in sd adapter read it on the pc using your memory card reader. you may reformat it.
EDIT 12/17: ooops sorry... heheheee... i meant you may see the file using windows explorer... you may reformat it if you want, too.. you may do whatever you want...
that's what i meant... actually you can also see it using resco explorer on the device..

@aquasesh: great info, probably we can extract something useful from here
If you have Linux, assuming /dev/sda is the device pointing to your SD card reader, and /tmp/sd.img is the sd card image file, you can extract it with this command:
Code:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/tmp/sd.img
It will be saved in RAW format in file /tmp/sd.img.
In windows you can use dd for windows, I have never used it so I don't know exactly how it works... but should be similar:
Code:
dd --list
dd if=\\?\Device\xxxxxx\ of=sd.img
Good luck extracting it and be sure to post it to ftp after!

Download WM5Torage, for it to work in hermes you MUST go to Start -> settings -> connections -> USB to PC and UNCHECK the checkbox which says "Enable advanced network functionality". This has to be done prior to run WM5torage.
Good luck!
It is real slow...i cannot really tell if its doing it...no error msg, but also no progress indication... the file generate will be called hermes.img
and it is in its destination folder, but still 0bytes.

Scratch that...just finished 121MB....whats the ftp?
Probably this is because of wm5torage not working properly... some people report that not works on their hermes, but it works ok on mine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=277103
You don't have a microSD card adapter an a SD card reader? this should be better than hermes with wm5torage.
Also another possible way of raw-dumping sdcard is by using itsme psdread.exe:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=XdaUtils/psdread.exe
But you've to figure out yourself, i never used it.

Ftp here:
ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/Uploads/Hermes/

Its on its way...its an img file...hope it contains something useful
25min upload time
Received the letter today.
I thought it was just a free gift at the beginning.
After finished reading the letter, I realized it's softbank's trick
I can see the update file both in Windows Explorer through ActiveSync and in Total Commander CE.
filename: HERMIMG.NBH
size: 87.5 MB (91,809,478 Bytes)
if aquasesh fails uploading, maybe I can try later.
upload complete...
quiet funny..its also my 100th post...
I think HERMIMG.NBH in the MicroSD from Softbank is the same as hermimg_VODAKK_1.33.761.4_Ship.nbh. I got it unpacked RUU_X01HT_1.33.761.4_1.14.00.10.exe.

I extracted your dump, apparently it's just a FAT32 filesystem with HERMIMG.nbh from X01HT 1.33.761.4 ROM. Nothing special then, just a way to force the users to update to the unlockable ROM
Moved the sd image here: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hermes/Technical/Hermes.img

thats too bad, but was expected.
I formatted it, got a free MicroSD
if I have a 1 gb mini sd n I want 2 reformat it do I need a certain program 2 do so or what?
if you got a usb sd adaptor just use windows to format it... like you normally do a flash drive..
no I didn't get a usb adapter I got a sd adapter...maybe I can do something with that?...or maybe I can put it in the phone then format?...any help is appreciated...
What I think he was talking about was a usb card reader. You usually have to put your mini SD card in the SD adapter so you can put it in the card reader so your pc will read it. If I remember right, I think total commander will reformat your card for you while it's in the phone though.
where can I get total commander from?
Google for it, you should find it. Either that, or you could try looking in your start-->programs-->accessories folder. Most of the cooked ROM's here have been including it.

thanks alot! i will test it when i recieve my minisd in the mail
I just looked in TC and couldn't find a format feature. I don't need to format right now but I was checking the advice given here and am not sure it's right. Can someone point me to the right area of TC?
I apolgize, somewhere recently I read in one of the forums that I go through on a daily basis that total commander provided a format function and so I passed on the information believing it to be true. Apparently it wasn't. I went through total commander and also went to their website and found nothing even mentioned about reformatting an SD card. Again, I apologize for the misinformation. You'd think I'd learn to check out information before re-posting it.
well its the thought that counts...but a college of mine has a laptop with a slot 4 the sd card so i think i will b able to reformat there
formatting mini sd woes....
you can format ur card in the phone using an app called pocket mechanic pro
get more info on www.wizcode.com
it does a whole lot also check it out

I'm actually speechless. Moderators where are you?
Please replace the above with:
You can buy Pocket Mechanic Professional for $29.95 from here.
Resco explorer
I have Resco Explorer (or whatever the name is). It has a format option. I tried it, but never worked. Was it a fake menu item? Then I formatted it in my laptop. I used FAT format and had to use full format option (takes hell lot of time) . The quick format option made the SD card unreadable in PPC.
Can I also use other formats with PPC? Like Fat32, NTFS?
accessories folder. Most of the cooked ROM's here have been including it.
great help!
hello fellow hackers. Today i hacked my HD2 to install Android using a goldcard. Everything went well. No i have the problem that neither my Milstone, nor my HD2 or legend recognize the card. I have formated it a couple of times but no chance. I can use it on windows, and read and write but the cell phones doesnt recognize it. Is my SD card now corrupt? How can i remove the changes that were made?

Dude, why do you want to format it?
If I were you, I would rather buy a new one and keep the old one as an emergency kit
Still, you can try format it using a Partition Tools software.
Good luck
you shouldnt have needed to format it. it should work as a normal sd card when its gold, no problem. how else do you think you managed to copy the leoimg.nbh file onto it?
A card should work as a FAT disk, and still remain gold, until it is formatted (or you accidentally allow that annoying windows 'your disk may have errors' or whatever the hell it says popup to 'fix' it.)
Since you have gone past that stage by now, id say fix the mbr, fresh partition. Give some partitioning software a try, or you can use THIS (post 3) method to clean the mbr, see if it helps.

making the card took me maybe ten minutes. i can recreate it. anyways i was able to delete all the partitions with gparted and reformat the sd card with the phone it self. Thanks for the replies anyways.
Well last night I had android build on my card and it wouldnt install new programs and games from the android market place so i decided to re format my sd card through my card reader through my computer.
Big Mistake!~ Everything is wiped off but now its taking longer to load programs onto the card and windows keeps giving me an error when trying to load android .Cab onto my card :-( i really dont want to buy a new one lol

The .cab is dead. Have you tried the zip version? See my thread here.
But the .Cab worked before and it doesnt now?
Is there another re formatting program that i can use
to make it back to normal?? or is my SD card just ****ed up?

Reef updated the cab, and it's broken. cab takes for-freakin-ever as well, plus it doesn't really let you see how the system is arranged.
As for your SD card, you can try formatting it using the HP tool. Not sure if your card is messed up permanently or not... Can't say I've ever seen a card completely fail before, but I always buy name-brand SD cards...
I used the Hp Tool i put your android bundle on my card everything was great and then i when i was in android it would not confirm that i had a sd card in there... idk man i ****ed this **** up lol

First off, Could you please ease up on dropping the curse words? That would be appreciated greatly.
Now, when you formatted your SD card did you format it FAT 32? Also did you use quick format?
The recommended setup is: FAT 32 & Full Format (NOT QUICK).
Thanks

Yea, curse words are not appreciated... Lots of kids in the forums, let's be respectful.
At any rate, what do you mean "when i was in android it would not confirm that i had a sd card in there" <--- I'm assuming you mean some app said there was no SD card inserted? Try dcmedic's suggestions.
Sorry for the bad habit
I got it to work. that Hp tool actually did help me thank you!
I had to reformat it 3 times but it works like a charm now
I had android installed on the card and android was not reading that i had a card inserted but now its does so everything is good
thanks for your help!
