[Q] A BIG BIG SD Card Problem! XDA Please Help. VERY SERIOUS - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have searched thousand time on google but no luck yet. The only thing i know now is xda. I am pretty sure you'll help me.
Problem :
My phone(motorola defy) and sdcard was working flawless. Asphalt 6, pes12, pvz games were installed. My phone is rooted and i also have dual mount sd widget. Now the problem is that one day i was using my phone perfectly. In the afternoon i open my phone and started asphalt 6. It asked me to download cache data. I was shocked because my career was completed 92% and i was playing it since month. I closed it and started it again but same problem. I deleted it began to install new widgets. And now that's the major prob, no application is getting installed. When i try to install any app it gave me error "Application not installed". I formatted my sdcard but no luck again. I formatted sdcard using different phone and then it was solved. I am using my phone for 3 days now. Holding my breath. Please tell me how this problem occurs so i could be careful or please tell me solution to this problem without formatting sdcard.
My brother told me not to use phone when it is dual mount mode. But i don't found that helpful. Please please please xda. Thanks for reading
Sorry for english because it is translated by Google. Because of xda rules. Thx

For future reference, if I find any bugs with the latest version of cyanogenmod 7, how do I downgrade to a stable version of cyanogenmod 6?
Tonight is a big night for all CyanogenMod 7 user we expecting RC1!!!
Use ROM Manager to install a 2.5.* version of Clockwork Mod (this is the last option in the menu). Then go to Clockwork Mod and either flash a non-CM7 ROM or restore a backup.

[Q] How to fix my problem...

Hi, I'm having problem to flash my HTC HD2 back to android after flashing my HD2 to Windows Phone. The error that I'm having right now is to unable to mount SD Card. Everytime i've tried to mount /SDcard, an error Unable to mount /sdcard occured.
I've tried so many options but still no avail. Tried to use adb shell command but still unable to mount. So, I've tried to run android using SD Card, my phone stuck at port-a-droid screen and keep rebooting. At first, I though it was the SD card but when I tried on my friends HD2, the SD Android can boot and no problem.
I can't think what is the main problem as when I've load back to WP7, my sdcard can be detected and use as a storage and even in Magldr.
Hope someone could shed some light to my problem as i really love this phone.

Ok, follow these steps and you should be fine:
1. Flash task29 by placing task29.nbh onto root of SD card and holding volume down and power button while phone is OFF
2. Flash magldr or CLk
3. Flash recovery
I highly recommend HD2 Toolkit for this if you are not experienced. just google HD2 Toolkit and you will see the xda thread
Goodluck!
Thanks for your reply.
I will try it and hopefully it will solve my problem.
I will post again for the result. Thanks again.

Hi again.
I've tried the step that you suggested using the toolkit but still the same problem.
I'm still unable to boot android from the SD as it keeps reboot after showing the port to droid ultimate screen.
Try to install rom via sdcard still giving me the same can't mount error.
Any other suggestion?
I quit confuse on what reason this is happening as when installing WP7, sdcard can be detected. But when I've flash to Stock Desire HD using DFT (as is the only method that I cn use to install android) my sdcard can be detected by the android os.
It's kinda weird actually...

Have you tried simply formatting your SD card to FAT32? This often solves issues involving the SD card

Oh my bad i thought you were trying to reinstall nand after coming from windows phone.
But yes try what nigeldg suggested, also, make sure your setup (SD card folders, startup.txt etc) is correct as well, thats honestly where it seems like its failing. But without the device its hard to try myself

Hi, thanks for your reply.
Actually I did want to reinstall android from WP7 however when i enter recovery mode and choose install from the zip file, I get can't mount sdcard.
I've been trying a lot of things, format using sd formatter, format to FAT32, swap with another sdcard and even purchase new sdcard also gave me the same error. Even trying to fix using adb also fail or maybe I'm not expert enough to fix using adb. Found a topic in the forum by modifying initrd.rc (if i'm not mistaken) my knowledge is still shallow, so I dare not to try such attempt yet.
Do you think using Clk would solve my problem rather using Magldr? Maybe I should give it a try.
As for the boot android from sd is an effort for me to run android as a temporary solution while trying to figure out NAND installation problem but that method also fail.
I've already format my card using FAT32 (but will try to reformat again later), but copy all the android file into the folder and try to reboot from sdcard. Only got to loading screen of port-a-droid ultimate and then my phone reboot. But when I insert the same sdcard into my friends HD2, it boot into the android without a problem as I'm facing right now.
So I don't know what's the different between his HD2 and mine.
Hopefully someone could help me.

After reading this, and thinking about it for awhile, to eliminate ALL software issues, i would flash stock TMOUS or your carrier's stock Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM and try the sd card there. It almost sounds like youre having a hardware issue. Or wait a minute, what programs did you use to format your SD card? there might be a partition still on it that recovery isnt liking, download mIni tool partition wizard and delete all partitions then create a fat32 partition set as primary. Or use HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool that takes forever but it does an excelent job at erasing completely the contents (master boot records, paritions, data, everything) and restores it to a fresh state. every time i get any sort of external media i use this tool to completely wipe it clean. if problems still persist we may need to move to a google talk chat session or something so i can talk to you as you move through some steps.

Hi again.
Thats what I'm affraid off. But if there's no other options, then I have to try to see if it would solve my issue.

Good question lol i have the stock TMOUS ROM, and a custom ROM. The only problem with those is the radio will most likely brick the device.
What carrier do you have? im pretty good at tracking down files on the net. I would start with the carriers website, then go to HTC's website. its 100% out there, just gotta get the blood hounds out and sniff it down i found a 12 year old program (simple .exe file) that would compare two folder directories and output there results to a text file so its definately out there
And i say it might be a hardware issue since you claimed it booted on your friends HD2, thus ruling out a bad SD card, or bad software setup. These devices arent that hard to pull apart, ive had mine a apart more times than i change my underwear xP
So if it is hardware related, prolly a pin thats not connecting 100% (Hopefully) you can easily rip it apart and bend the pin to make contact.
Well the best to ya if you need help finding the stock ROM just post your specs of the carrier and what not and i'll try to help ya. Also if you need anything else you know wher to find me

Thanks again. I will try to find stock rom first. If not, I will post again.
Btw, is it possible for me to pull out (or create an image) of the stock ROM as my brother had a friend that ask me to convert his HD2 to Android. But just to be save, I want to extract the original stock rom first just in case and at the same time i could use it to restore my HD2.
Do you think it is caused by the hware. Because if it is, would it also effecting WP7 rom also. A bit weird as WP7 could access my sdcard without an issue. I don't know as i'm no expert in mobile device.
If my device is bricked either because of the radio or others, is it possible to un-brick it.
Anyway, thanks. Will be posting again soon.
If still couldn't solve, then i will just stick to WP7 and sold the unit instead.

I forgot to ask. If my device came from WM6.5, should I flash the radio first or HSPL?

Here are the stock ROMs for the UK, so the ones for your carrier are probably on the HTC website somewhere Try searching through your country's branch of the htc website (i.e. rather than htc.com/uk try your country's code) and you will most probably find the ROM you're looking for. If you're flashing from WinMo you flash HSPL>Radio>MAGLDR/cLK>CWM>ROM (in response to your second post)

I'm reasonably sure you can, as that says it's just a generic software update. Try it out and see if it helps your SD issue and report back

Rom crashes :/

Hey guys. I have a problem with my HD2 Device. My first android rom was NexusHD2 Beta1 like 4 months ago. It worked and i had no problems but i decided to install Miui instead of ICS. The Miui rom was really fast and smooth and didnt crash. Now i wanted to get back to ICS with HWA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860).
I did a clean installation but the rom crashes randomly like within 2 minutes. I have no clue why it crashes i will tell you know how i installed it and maybe i forgot something and you can tell me what i did wrong.
I used HD2 Nand Toolkit and used Task29 at first. Then i installed MAGLDR and recovery with 200mb and 5mb cache. Then i opened CWM and installed the Rom. After that i installed Darktremor A2SD like it is said in this FAQ:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik..._CM9_FAQ#How_shall_I_install_these_scripts.3F
I hope my english is not too bad and you can help me to figure out why my phone crashes .
I took a look at the ROM and the Apps2SD in the XDA Wiki. Are you sure you followed all the directions in the installation instructions of the ROM. You may need to delete the Android folder from your SD card as it does say the following in the ROM thread OP.

Also in the Wiki it says you have to format your SD card. So you may need to format your SD card also.
Yeah could be a problem but i even tried it without A2SD and it still crashed :s

If it still crashes without the Apps2SD then delete the Adroid folder from your SD card. I went back and edited my first post a little so you may have misssed me mentioning that.
Oh god it seemes that it works now! Its - like everytime - that simple but you Sir are my hero! :'D im really thankful ..

[Q]L3.E400.CM9/Not reading any SD cards!

[Q] Strange SD Card Problem

Hey guys,
I have a huge problem! Since I flashed a custom ROM I cant use my SD Card properly...I can move things like pictures or music to the card and I can use it from there but I cant move Apps to the SD Card... No matter which ROM or Android version I flash it does not work. I cant remember which ROM version created the problem because I didnt noticed it first but it definately was CyanogenMod. I am using a 32GB micro SD card in my Galaxy S4. Before I flashed a custom ROM everything worked fine, even App2SD. atm I'm using 4.4.2 and I cant ****ing move my Apps which is really driving me crazy...
Also strange is that I have 3 different storages on my phone...
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME

This thread will probably help you if you follow the points step by step. It´s originally written for the Note 3 but can be equally applied for the S4. If it doesn´t, then your SC card is likely to be broken and you´ll need to get a new one.
Hi,
Thanks for the reply but I don't think this will work, nevertheless I will try it an post the result here. My card is definately not broken because it works in my computer and in other devices as well.

KitKat disabled SD Card support for anything other than regular files. this means you cannot move apps to a SD card anymore, you have to roll back to a Jelly Bean rom, or use SDFix, run it, and then use Link2SD to move your apps.
