[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xwhofarted:
I was one of the people who has their SD eaten by EC09 leak.

But now it seems to have spread to other Roms....

A trend that i noticed was all the people i saw had the original SD card made by Samsung.

On a another board i was told to "READ MORE" and well i did AND i haven't found anyone that that had a non-Samsung card get ruined.

So that is what i am asking you now....

IF you had your card ruined leave me the brand.

Sometimes it is the answer staring you in the face
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drnihili:
If you'll read the thread on the other board you reference, you'll find cases in which non-stock cards have been fried. One such case is quoted a mere 4 posts before your question. Another is in post #18 of that thread.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xwhofarted:
OK post #18 is indeed a the only proof of this brought to my attention, and i do thank you!

BUT IF YOU ACTUALLY READ POST #85 [a mere 4 posts above mine] "I have a Kinston Class 4 8GB and haven't had any problems yet"

ANd he states that his "My stock card got all corrupted when I flashed the first MTD miui build"

I really wish people would stop jumping down peoples throats who actually try to think differently and help the situation. I hate people that answer with "Read More" that is not constructive or helpful!

We are all human and people do misread things but it is no reason to belittle that person when you your self do nothing to help the situation.

We are all in the same boat lets start acting like it!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drnihili:
As I explicitly said, the case is "quoted" four posts before yours. To be specific it says "I am using a cheap RiData bran 16gb Class 6 sd card...had it corrupt twice while on newer CM7 builds". I'm sorry that you feel people are jumping down your throat, but when you don't read the first two pages of a thread, and miss information in a post just a few before yours, well the only thing to say to you is "Read". What else would you have people say when the information is clearly there before you but you claim to not see it?

I applaud your zeal for helping on this problem, but reading about it is the first step. It took me just 15 minutes scanning the thread containing your post to come up with two examples. You need to do a more careful and thorough job of reading. If you can't see the data that is before you, there is no chance of helpfully interpreting it, however motivated you may be.

My samsung one got damaged. Just ordered a 8 gb kingston.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calstho:
once I got mine busted with miui 1.7.15, glitch kernel 11.1 medium.

already restore trough chkdsk /f /x + undelete plus, finally i got my data back.

but I still got some of my file being 0 size kb.

maybe this because UV too much?

Somebody on miui forum said it kernel related, maybe that's why jt launch a new cm7 kernel
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xwhofarted:
please take this as an intelligent conversation, that being said.

What should have been said to be helpful and constructive would be something along the line of.

Non-Samsung cards are being ruined, i have even seen a few mentions in this thread.

and that is it, the issue would have moved on from there.

In my original post I even said i was skimming the posts and i couldn't find any and I asked if anyone knew of any one that had Non SD cards ruined.

Its not like i was asking a crazy question and that was answered in the OP.

It was a simple question and to answer with the classic "read more" does nothing for the post that is my main point.

as now my question has been answered and i will now drop this, All i am saying is telling people to read more does not help the situation. You can say read more but at least answer the question.

Just imagine if JT or any of the other Devs treated everyone like that....They dont, most times they answer your questions or offer extra help in IRC.... the open source community is built on the ground work of helping others, not an elitist attitude.

Thank you all for letting me Vent!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drnihili:
The response you got in the next post said essentially that (in addition to recommending that you read more.) Your reaction was to contradict that post in all caps saying "EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT HAS REPORTED AN ISSUE ON THIS THREAD HAD THE ORIGINAL SAMSUNG SDCARD RUINED" which we've already seen wasn't true. You basically just tried to yell down the post which didn't agree with your opinion.

I understand missing obvious information, we all do that from time to time. But when someone says you've missed information and suggests that you read more, yelling at them about how right you are isn't an appropriate response. Suggesting that someone read more, while also providing a brief informative response was entirely appropriate. Your reaction to that was not. If you want to advocate intelligent, civil discussion, you should begin by ensuring that your own comments are well-grounded and civil.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xwhofarted:
ok i do see i flew off the handle on this one point but i felt attacked for asking a simple question.

my post:

-------------------

i have only been reading a few of the posts but has anyone with a Non-Samsung SD Card get borked?

I lost my original on EC09 and have a PNY 16gb and have had no trouble but i reverted back to EF, i dont want to have to go get a new 16 again!

Maybe it is the Samsung cards not the roms.....

________________

the response:

------------------

no offense whofarted - but read some more.

This is definitely not an issue with a particular card brand. We've seen bad behavior on lots of cards now - not all Samsung.

Something is awry, and we need to let the devs get to the bottom of it.[cut short]....

----------------------

I admitted I didnt read every single post, I was seeing a trend and thought i would ask. instead of reading hundreds of posts [on multiple threads]

It was a simple question that wasn't that far fetched.

I never said that the cards WERE an issue just that we maybe keep it in mind [at least that was my intentions]

The question was: has anyone with a Non-Samsung SD Card get borked?

how about: @ whofarted i have seen a few posts with non samsung cards get ruined.that answers the question, not "read".

He did infact in his post answer my question, but by adding the first part of his post, it in all intent and purpose was to belittle the question.

I always hated in forums when people respond with the phrase read more.

but what set it over the edge [for me] was the, let the devs get to the bottom of it. which missed the purpose of the thread entirely. The thread was there to collect information and [i felt] interpreting the data collected. then to tell some one to [i felt] "butt out" was very "offensive" which was preceded with a "no offense". lol any time someone says no offense, it is always followed by something that doesnt need to be said. I think that was what sent me over the edge.

I truly apologize for my overreaction

please just remember there is always someone out there who knows more than you do!

I thought my card was done after opening camera app and snapping a pic. However, all of music, downloads, etc were still there

confirmed by root explorer. Gallery showed insert SD card and camera app was now useless. Changed SD card mounting from R/O to R/W and can now use SD card. Can only hope that it sticks...

Update: its been a few hours and for me at least SD card is still functional. No more "insert SD card" messages. Good luck

Are cards really being "fried"? Im asking because again after taking a photo my SD card became unmounted. Seems the system does this on its own. I remounted the card thru root explorer and again all is well.

how do you mount it in root explorer? I've tried changing it from r/o to r/w and nothing works. When i try to click on sd card it says that its still not mounted.

I just had my Droid X's original class 2 16gb micro sd card die, with no hope of recovery. Have been using CM7 nightlies. It died while trying to download Angry Birds Rio from the Amazon App Store.

mmb3r16guaca

Looked up on google, newegg shows it as a samsung.

The card is recognized as existing by Windows 7, but isn't useful beyond that.

Can't be formatted.

Loaded up gParted LiveCD to see if anything could be done, gParted runs for 10 minutes throwing errors about the card every 15 seconds and finally the monitor turns off and I can't see what's going on. Unplugged the micro SD and gParted booted right up.

I've been all over the internet and it appears the only solution at this point COULD be melting off the plastic, desoldering the memory chip and resoldering it on to another chip, but that sounds crazy. Any ideas?

I keep loosing my widgets after some reboot (not all). As far as I can see all of my widgets are installed on internal memory and not in the Media Area. Has anyone else had this problem, if so how did you solve it. It's not a big issue, but it's super annoying to set up those widgets all of the time. BTW I am running Pi-Crust 0.5 with faux123 1.3.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legion21:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GerardAnthony:
Same issue here too.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phalanx7621:
The issue as far as I am aware has to do with bloatware. Depending on what bloatware was removed with whatever ROM yer using, your widgets may get affected. Also the problem could lie in whatever programs you're freezing / uninstalling with Titanium Backup or whichever program you use to freeze / uninstall system shtuff.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legion21:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legion21:
Regardless, upon rebooting after fixing permissions all my widgets were deleted so I don't think that was the solution
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpagador:
Same here...was really annoyed..all installed/restored to internal SD. I too began having this problem after installing faux's kernel. Sucks because i really like that kernel.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Works for me. I don't set up my widgets then fix permissions. I fix permissions after restoring all my apps, and before dropping widgets on the home screens. If you set up your widgets first, you will likely lose them on reboot, but then after you set them up again, you should not have the issue recur.

I was losing my widgets every 1-2 days before I started doing this. It's part of my ROM installation routine now, just like wiping.

Hi,

I have a problem with a htc t5388i clone bought from china, the seller sent me the phone with win 6.5 installed in spanish, I need english, so I've flashed the phone with an older version of rom and now everething it's ok, except for the camera, it doesn't start at all, my original phone specs are :

VERSION
ROM VERSION C03.021.14 ESN
ROM DATE 2011-03-01
RADIO VERSION 4-16-2010 20:16:30
PROTOCOL VERSION BASE_W09.20_P4

So if anyone has an english rom version from 2011 for t5388i, or at least you can do a backup of your phone on a SD card, upload content to hotfile or rapidshare and send the link. please, please help!

Many thanx in advance and best regards!

I need the same rom

I got also the phone from china and it had the version C03.021.14 ENG. I tried to change the language to Solonomi GER which has a production date from 16. April 2010. All i got was a white screen. On the way back i tried every possible rom i could find on the internet, the only one working was C03.021.08 ENG but without camera-support.

I have seen on ebay that there are even phones out with C03.021.14 GER.

Whoever has such a ROM C03.021.14 please share it with us!

Hi zanganno,

Yes, I've solved the problem, the chinese seller - a dumb woman - sent me the original rom after 2 months, but the phone is a joke, the sound is bad, very low level, you have to have very good ears to hear something and I must say, all chinese clones are crap phones, I found instead a chinese brand, very good, it calls iPro, very good phones and batteries. I couldn't back-up my spanish rom but I can get it for you! I will contact via e-mail! All the best!

Thanks for the relay, great find! With these newer devices it really makes sense and heck, why to I need seperate power bricks for my USB hub, speakers, and mouse charging base.
