[Q] Cross reference to ROM posting - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As we have ROM experts here I would appreciate it if they could look at this HTC stock ROM problem posted in the general forum for the HD2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11682793#post11682793
Many thanks.

it is timing out in the time taken for the phone to reboot.
put the phone into bootloader yourself first, then connect usb, wait for serial -> usb, right click your flash.exe file and 'run as administrator'. If it fails, dont touch the phone, swap USb ports and try again. avoid usb ports in teh front of the pc, or through hubs, and avoid 64bit windows.

Thanks for the replies folks. I used a different cable and all worked out well. I then started to install apps from my SD card using the SD card as the place to also install the apps which is what I had before.
I installed about 20 apps and all was well but now for some reason my device does not see the SD card!???
If I take out the SD card and put it into the PC I can see all the data. If I take a different SD card and put it into the HD2 it can't see this either.
I am wondering if one of the apps I installed has caused this issue. The only app I am aware of that did anything with the SD card was tnyynt SD TuneUP from this BBS.
I have had this installed before so I don't think it is this but I am otherwise stuck.
I may have to put the old rom back to see if that has something to do with it, I hope not as it has taken ages to get to this stage.
[Edit] Hi, I managed to solve the problem by removing the tnyynt SD TuneUP app. I have now deleted this app from my list. Others be warned.
Any help would be appreciated.

[Q] [Edited]: Losing SD card functionality ...

Good morning everyone.
I have been surfing this site for quite some time, but have just received my Vibrant S and am now in a position to post a question.
I am coming from the WinMo 5.0 world and android is very new to me, but I am enjoying the new phone.
I do not yet have the phone rooted and am hesitating ... mainly because I don't know all the features it has yet but also because I don't want to get into anything I don't know yet how to get out of. Having spent enough on this phone, I don't want to break anything just yet. This forum seems to have some very helpful people though, so I hope I can trust you all when you finally talk me into rooting. I barely got on the Market yesterday and found a tool 'SGS Tools' which has some info in the description which I think I can really use, but I need to root. So go ahead and start talking me into rooting.
Anyway, to my question:
The movie 'Avatar' comes on a 2Gig micro SD card and I have an 8Gig HCSD card. So I copied the directory 'Movie' and its contents to my C: drive, unmounted the 2Gig, removed it, and put in the 8Gig. The phone recognized it and everything went fine when I turned the phone on. So I moved the directory 'Movie' and its contents to the 8Gig card and after all was said and done, when I try to open the movie file 'Avatar.dcf' using either the shortcut or the media player, I get the error: This video can not be played.
Is there a hidden file I may have missed? Can you not create a copy? Would the DRM get involved at this point?
I am concerned if I move the file from the 2Gig card to the 8Gig card, and I get the same error, then I've also lost the movie.
Your suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks.
Here's another take on it.
I powered my phone on this morning just before posting, and found the phone was not recognizing the SDHC card. It was in effect, unmounted. I pulled it out and back in and it then asked if I wanted to format the disk, so I did. I need to pull the original dcf file off the 2gig disk and try this move again, but in the mean time I've found this among a lot of complaints regarding android recognizing SDHC cards.
[edit] Seems I can't post outside links yet. Here's an address you'll have to manually put in your address bar if you wish to read this article.
< ... ://humanslate.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4&Itemid=14 >
In there it mentions, "SDHC cards will not work in devices designed to the older SD 1.x specification".
So, another question at the moment is this:
Has android (I'm running JI6, eclair 2.1) been developed for the original 1.x cards? Has anyone bought a new android phone and had an SDHC card in it? My 2gig card is of the old 1.x specification.
Perhaps I need to repost on the developer page? I figured the movie was part of an app, so it would only seem reasonable to post here.

That should be all you have to do to get the movie to play. I would only recommend that you double check to make sure you copied the Movie folder to your external SD card and not the internal card.
The Vibrant can use SDHC cards (use 8gb class 6 here) and I know many others use 16 and 32 gb ones.
Convert the file to simple mp3 universal coding that any video app including the stock can read. Should be 720p. Create a video folder if one does not exist. You know all this sounds like. Should play fine. Too bad you can't use the lame short cut this way. Then again I never used it anyway.

What do you mean by 'That'? Do you mean to move or does a copy suffice?
A little earlier after posting here, I put the 2gig back in and copied the DCF file to the C: drive again. Then after replacing the 2gig with the 8gig in the phone, I moved the 'Movie' directory and files into it. Now the media player doesn't even recognize the file. Although when I went to the SD card and looked at the details of the DCF file, it said the rights were expired. Can I assume it is because I copied it?

What program did you use to make the conversion? I have two converters on my laptop I really like, but I don't know that they will even recognize a DCF file.
Thank you for your assistance.

I was referring to either a move or copy. Both should work without a problem. I've done both and it played each time.
Never seen the rights were expired before. Not sure atm.
Thanks Flak for the clarification.
I am thinking I have larger issues here now (hence the edit to the title).
Over the New year, I have been working on word documents and PDFs and saving them to the external SD card on the phone. I have Windows 7_64. I was synced in with my phone using 'media' to transfer files as Kies doesn't work. After disconnecting the phone and verifying I can read both the word docs and the PDF's, I turned the phone off for the night. The next morning when I turned the phone on, I recieved a message that the external SD card was corrupted. I had to do a format to get the card back. After copying the docs and PDF's to the SDHC again, making a few phone calls, and installing a couple apps from the market to the internal memory, I rebooted the phone (turned off then back on), I received an error message saying the external SD card had been damaged. I had to do a format on the card again to get it back.
All I can say at the moment is I'm glad I didn't move the Avatar.dcf file to the SDHC card, but I don't understand what is happening with the SD functionality. This is becoming completely untrustworthy as I can't use the SD card for anything in fear of it getting corrupted or damaged. Which means I can't backup anything to the SD card either.
[Q] I have read mention of drivers for Windows 7_64, but have not yet searched them out. Could the default connection drivers that Windows 7 loads when you first connect your phone be an issue?
[Q] I have also read in several places now that the USB debugging should be checked. Now most all of these posts are for rooting and reinstalling ROM's and such, but my question is this; Should I have the USB debugging on when I am simply connecting to the PC to transfer files? It seems I am losing my SDHC card only after I have connected to the PC using the USB cable.
Do you have any thoughts or suggestions I can try? I'm too new to android to think of possible solutions to these little quirks, or where to look or what to ask.
Thanks.
One reason I am hesitant to put any Windows 7_64 bit drivers is because of the following comments:
"cant get my cpu to recognize my phone after installing drivers... im on windows 7 64 bit any ideas??"
"have the same problem. i'm on 7, 32bit"
"did you enable USB debugging?"
"yes of course. first thing I did after I rooted"
These are from <http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929>
Now again, my phone is not yet rooted. For the purpose at hand, I can't see the need to root. If my SDHC card is getting corrupted during connection, then rooting the phone is not going to solve the problem.
So my question above still stands; should the USB debugging be on (checked) when I simply connect to the PC to transfer files?
But I don't know where to look now or what to do. I have spent an entire day looking over the posts and have found virtually nothing to assist me with this little quirk.
Any suggestion would be helpful at this point.
Thanks.
So, I've learned something new today and would like your confirmation if I am correct in my assessment or not.
When you plug the phone into the Windows desktop machine, you get a prompt on the phone asking if you want to connect to Kies, Media Player, or Mass Storage.
When I select Media player, I have immediate access to the phone and SD card. There is nothing more to do with either the phone or the PC is this correct ?
The reason I ask is that if I connect to Mass Storage, I then have to go to the pulldown whatchamacallit on the phone and select USB connect. It then prompts me to "Mount" the phone (SD card) so I can access it.
I think this is why my SD card became corrupted and damaged. I didn't know I had to go and "Mount" the thing before I could use it.
BUT, why doesn't it ask me to "Mount" it when I select Media Player for my connection?
Thank you for your assistance and expertise.
Still waiting for confirmation
I'm still waiting for some definitive answer(s) and confirmations to these questions of mine if anyone has the knowledge.
Thank you.

[Q] Damagd sd card/

i just recently went to the gingerbread leak rom and it was working fine fir the past week. the message said, Damaged sd card, Sd card damaged. you may have to reformat....
and when i try to mount the sd card by connecting the cables, i press connect and nothing happene\s but the circle keeps spinning for like a hour. please help. i have many photos and work schol work stuff on the phone that i need to transfer to the computer.
Hate to tell you, but you're most likely out of luck. The Gingerbread leak is known to cause problems with SD cards, thats why many recommend using a spare SD card.
I've seen utilities that search corrupted SD cards for files, you might try some sort of tool for that and see if you can get anything off of it.
After this if you want to run Gingerbread, I'd recommned you switch to Cyanogenmod 7, MIUI (what I'm running currently, love the miui launcher), or OMFGB.
I'm not sure if this is related but I will say it anyway. On my Droid X I flashed GB and a week later my phone did the exact same as yours. Error on the phone stating the card was damaged and it needed to be reformatted. I tried to reformat and it would not work on the phone. I tried on my computer and it would not even see the card. I searched for hours and hours and it seems like other's had the same issue. The only way I was able to reformat was to stick the card in my Blackberry and reformat. For some odd reason it picked it up. I did buy a new card just in case and will keep this one for a backup. Always back up your card on your computer on a weekly basis if you can. I lost years of photos.
Anyways I know it's a totally different phone but how weird is it that we both and others had the same issue when flashing to GB. Try to reformat on your computer or even try a different phone if you can. Sorry if this does not help you.

I second that this should've gone in Q&A... However, on your pc google 'piriform recuva' and download as this is a recovery utility that should be able to get back some of your data. You could also try formatting/mounting your card in CWR, I believe nitsuj had some luck restoring a fried card this way
tapatalked from my GingerBanged VZ Fascinate
Actually, the SD CARD DAMAGED message always does not mean the sd card is damaged, it only mean the system can not access it.
Try to use a sd card reader on the PC.
Also, there is a huge, gigantic 1559247pt font warning written in red right at the top of the thread that warns you about the rom possibly frying your sd card....
Edit: my bad, I was thinking of the comm rom thread, but there is a warning at the top of the leak thread also.... I don't mean to sound like an ass, but it really helps to read the OP thoroughly before flashing anything

undoing permission changes

I've done something really, really stupid. I know just enough about permissions to hang myself but good.
I have a Nook Tablet 8GB that dual boots either into a Nook, or with the SD card in, into Cyanogenmod 7.2.0-RC0-acclaim-TEAM-B.
I was trying to get my Windows 7 PC to recognize the tablet and the sd card when booted into Android. I have the ROM manager app loaded. Something I read made me think that if I ran the "fix permissions" feature of ROM manager, I could get the Windows PC to see the drives. (It does this just fine when connected via USB while booted as the Nook tablet.) So -- fix permissions ran and did a chmod on a bunch of files. Now half of my apps are gone. I can boot into Nook and I can boot off the SD card. I can start my Wi-Fi and do most other things. I just can't get to all my apps. I did make a copy of the SD card to an external drive before I did this. And, I had moved all the apps to the SD card before I copied it. Can I restore (unfix) my permissions back to where they were and everything was working? I know,I know, - I'm an idiot. Everything was perfect and then I screwed it up. Can anyone help please?

hm. usually fix permissions from rom manager "fixes" problems with apps. let me just make sure i understand what you are trying to do...
you want your win 7 pc to recognize the two drives of the NT when connected via usb right? the userdata partition (1GB if you have stock partitions) and the external storage which is your sd card?
am i understanding you correctly?
if so, all you have to do to mount the two drives onto your computer is just to enable usb mass storage from the notifications drop down menu when the NT is connected to your PC by usb.

Yes, that was exactly what I was trying to do. And yes, I did figure it out and am able to see my NT and the SD card as drives in Win7. My mistake came in when I somehow thought not seeing the drives was a permissions problem. (From something I was reading.) When I ran the "fix permissions" in ROM manager, I lost half my app icons on my screens. I'm trying to find out how to get all my apps back!

usually a reboot and reinserting the sdcard after the NT has fully booted up with solve your problems with apps not launching.
EDIT: well since you are booting cm7 through an sd card then i am not sure why your apps aren't showing up... have you tried the "move to phone" option under maange applications in the applications settings?

This may have been the problem. Not all apps can run when moved to the "SD" card (which is really just another partition on the actual SD card). You should be able to simply reload the apps from their source (Google Play, etc.). An app call ZDBox can be configured to tell you, when you install an app, if that app can be moved to the SD card. The ability to move and app and have it function properly is based o the app itself and limitations therein. Again, all apps cans be moved, but not all will work when moved.

I took out the SD card, booted into Nook, powered down. Then I reinserted the SD card and booted into Android. The apps are all back. It's still a little wonky; if I move too fast for the OS, the whole things seizes up and I lose some apps again, but the above steps get every thing going again. Thanks for the ideas.

[Q] NT 8GB rooting issue

Ok, first off I want to give a big thanks to digixmax for all his help so far! His quick responses have helped me to stay somewhat calm even though I am extremely frustrated right now. I have tried several different ways to root and boot CWM and CM 10.X onto my NT the last few days and nothing seems to be working. I have tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439630, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098419, http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/01/09/cm10-1-android-4-2-1-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet-0110/, and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529553 all with no success. i have used different cards, usb cables, and ports. i have used mini tool partition manager, acronis, gparted on ubuntu live, and fedora core that i have dual loaded on my laptop. i have downloaded the same files from different sources making sure to keep them separated in case one image is corrupt. and i have tried the preloaded image and built my own files onto a partitioned card making sure the card was set to FAT32 primary active 0x0C LBA and that boot was flagged. if anyone else has a suggestion i am all ears. im not opposed to just rooting into the eMMC either if someone wants to point me in the direction of a link with CM7.X or newer. the last build that i did on my sdcard looked like this (attachment below )
im not sure if anyone will be able to tell me if i did something wrong, maybe by file size? if more info is needed let me know. thanks in advance!
It's unclear to me what you want to do. Do you want to run CM10.x from sd card or install it internally? Or juts root? "Root" does not mea installing an alternative ROM, so it would be good to know what you're after.
If you want to run from sd Iamafanof's images should work. Personally I prefer his Android 4.1. Try it:
http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/ (It was not among those you said you've tried)
If it's not working, come back with more info on what you actually do and what happens (or doesn't happen).
If trying to install internally that image from Iamafanof can be used as a bootable CWM sd card and you can install CM10.x from there.

i was trying to root and rom CMsomething. at this point i dont care how it happens so long as something happens. your right i havent tried booting CM 10 and was actually looking for the version you posted. i read it was a good ver of CM to run on the NT. something that just started happening this morning when i use win32diskimager as admin a box pops up saying File error an error occured while accessing the device. This usually means that something else is accessing the device, please close all applications and try again. Error 1. Incorrect function. not sure what this is about. anyways ill try CM10 from that link and let post back later. thanks!
Make sure any file explorer is closed. That's what usually prompts that error for me. (I insert my card adapter, and the file explorer tries to access it.)

ok that helped some. its now saying write successful again. i tried the first link you gave me for iamafanof and that didnt work either, it still booted straight to stock. i guess im going to try flashing it to the internal memory. i cant believe how much trouble this is giving me, ive never had near this much trouble rooting and flashing with any phone ive ever touched. with the phones i may have been down a day or two trying to find a solution but today is going on day 4 or 5 that i have been trying to do this. time to try an alt route i guess. quick q, if i were to try and downgrade firmware from 1.4.3 do you think that that would help? has anyone tried this?
Having it installed internally is so much more convenient!
But before you give up on booting from sd, have you tried turning the NT off, inserting the sd card, and then plug it in to the charger? That usually gets even troublesome devices to boot from sd.
Edit: Version of stock firmaware makes no difference at all.

ok thanks i was hoping it would make some kind of difference. i have tried booting the NT with the power button, with it off insert sd and then jump start it with my stock cable and other usb cables. i have tried different usb ports on my computer with the cables and still nothing. i have been reading for days and trying everything. ive looked on xda, tabletroms, as well as many other sites that have dev support for the NT and rooting. thats why its so frustrating. im done i think with trying to boot off of the sd card. just going to have to start researching doing it by internal memory. i dont really care either way if i keep the stock software i think i would just be happy with even an early version of froyo or eclair at this point lol. if anyone cares to post links on rooting and installing roms on the eMMC or has any other suggestions about booting from the sd im open for suggestions. thanks guys for your help so far.
You say you've tried different ports on the computer but I told you to connect it to the charger. And also, just to make sure, you do use a class 4 card? SanDisk seems to be the preferred brand.
And I've already posted a link to my instructions.
If you can't boot from SD card any modification will be difficult so you need to get that part sorted.
Edit: And I also take it you are absolutely sure you have a Tablet and not a Color? Model 250A. I ask because it's not uncommon people mix them up.

[Q] Weird SD Card Issues

I've been having some strange things happening with my micro sd card lately. After flashing a CM9 glitch rom, I noticed that when I plug my phone into my pc with a usb cord, it shows two drives instead of just one. This has never happened to me before. I have also been having problems copying files from my pc to my phone and when I disconnect the cable the files are gone from the phone. I copied 2,000+ pics from my work pc to my phone and verified they copied correctly. When I got home all of the pics were gone as well as some ROMS I had just downloaded. I formatted my card with windows xp and then I did a 1 pass secure erase with CCleaner. When that was done, I erased the card from the phone itself. After the card was erased, my Titanium Backup folder was still there with all of my backups. Anyone else experienced these issues?
My card is a Samsung 16GB Class 4 HC and is a few years old
I know regular eraser programs like ccleaner, etc don't work properly on sd cards, (they only kind of move files around so they are not seen) look up sdformatter v4 and use that.
What ROM are you on right now

One other thing i can think of would be that the scanner would take a really long to re scan all those pics (like maybe 20 minutes or more from what I've read)

I tried taking a picture a minute ago and it said please insert an sd card to take a photo. The sd card was still in the phone. The only other thing I can think of is that maybe the phone isn't unmounting the card from the pc aproperly. I had my sd card open on the pc and could see all of my files and when I hit turn off usb storage I didn't see any other messages in the status bar and the files were not there

I know it sucks but you might need to try saving everything off the sd card again, formatting with sdformatter from your pc,, while still blank install, reboot, wait for ROM to settle in, take picture. Then if all goes well, connect up to the pc (i assume you use mass storage) then put files back on, disconnect from pc,,, reboot and wait the 20+ minutes for 2000+ pics to be scanned by the media scanner process. Hopefully that works
It is formatting now. We will see how it goes. Thanks!
Update: I ran sdformatter and did the overwrite and then format. When I turned usb storage off the ROM said my sd card was damaged. I used odin to go back to stock 2.3.6 and when I was done it was still saying sdcard damaged. I formatted the card from the phone itself and then flashed AOKP Milestone 5 Glitch and all seems to be working just fine. Thank you for your help.
