I like to look at things step by step

1. SD card isn't recognised by Hermes - not even detected...

2. Camera detects it - did you try taking a few pictures and seeing if it actually wrote them to the card? I had a phone that registered the card but kept throwing up "sd card corrupt" every time I tried to use it.

3. Does a PC recognise the sd card when inserted into a card reader? If you don't have 1 I'd make this a priority to get, a friend of mine bought one off ebay for $5 AUD including postage...

If the pc recognises it maybe you should reformat it fat32. remember to backup any data first...

4. If the pc and camera have no problem then I'd start suspecting the Hermes... I have two sd cards so I have no problems testing but you may need to either get a smaller card - I use a 512 for flashing the os, or find someone who can lend you theirs to test. If the 2nd card reads then either the card is bung or the Hermes has a problem with it (incompatibility has been known to happen). Clean the card reader as best you can with isopropyl alcohol and a piece of cloth. There may be some type of corrosion or dust on the sd card reader contacts.

These are the steps I have taken to work out if the sd card or Hermes is a fault. Generally I find its the card (happened once to me and once to a friend).

Hope this helps...

Cheers...:D

Been through this. Very recently, actually. Like, last night.

I don't have a microSD reader and I found myself needing to reformat my microSD in my Hermes to FAT32. I was trying to do SD flashes. Long story.

Anyway, know what I did? I used WM5torage. As long as your ROM is functional and your SD card isn't wasted, activate WM5torage and have WinXP format your "USB Mass Storage Device" for you through My Computer. It only affects the SD card.

I mean, it worked for me.

i have i sd 2gb card, my pc can see it and use it but only on fat format. i cant format fat32, i get an error(not able to complete). i cant see or use it at all on my phone. (the only selection i have to format (on my pc) is fat,fat32, default unit size)

please help, so i can use the card on my pc and phone

edit:i have searched and the only thing i saw was prog. to format sd, that prog let my pc to see the card, but lost the ability to see it in my phone. (sorry i dont remember what the prog was)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
If the PC picks it up, right click on the sd card and select format. Make sure its fat32 though. Easiest thing to do... NO 3rd party apps needed...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] liquidscorp:
i guess i wasnt clear enough. my pc comes up with an error "not able to compleate" when i try to format my card in fat32 (that is when it is in my pc), but i can format fat (but thats no help for me). if i put the card in my device, it doesnt see it, so if i link my device to pc, pc doesnt see the card. so still cant format via pc.

i tried 3rd party as noted, as i thought, if my device cant see it the app cant see it.

thanks for trying, but still in the same boat.

it is a new card too, im woundering if i bought a bum card and i should return it for a new.

any suggestions welcome

In the phone, go to Settings-Connections-USB to PC and choose "Disk Drive" (default is ActiveSync). Once done, your memory card will become available in Windows Explorer as hard drive and you may be able to format it there (if the card works ofc).

I have a 2gig kingston micro SD that I'm having a problem getting recognized in a winmo touch pro 2, dash, or an SD card reader (reader works with other cards)

It has been used in a nokia phone previously and I used the nokia format utility. That didn't work so I used the format in windows while the phone was connected to the PC. That also didn't work so I don't know what else I can do, anyone experience this?

didn't mean to rehash an old thread but there isnt' a lot out there that I could find.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Tr0w4tr3y:
Kabayan, i suggest that you use a card reader to analyze your problem. If the camera still detects it's presence, theres still a chance that it is still working, maybe it just needs formating.

Anyone tried this? On your phone go to start and tap settings and then tap system and then tap Format SD Card. The next window on the phone just says Format Storage Card, cluster size 32 KB. Is this the same as fat 32? Would this work?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] wrayrb:
If your Micro SD card is showing less than the actual amount of memory e.g., my 32GB showed 116MB, hook the BN to your PC. When it shows in the explorer, then use SD Formatter on the PC to check the size. If there is a large unallocated space on the SD Card, it needs to be re-formatted so the boot area is the whole disk.

After formatting, SD Formatter should show the whole size. Unplug it, and the nook should say it has detected a SD Card which needs formatting. Let the nook format the SD Card. The nook will see the SD card but any apps will say the card is not mounted.

So power down the nook and power backup. Then it will mount the card and it is fully useable. (At least this worked for me.)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huzefa_from_kuwait:
Hello all,

Like thousands of S4 owners my wifi also doesn't work. But my problem is a little strange.

My wifi when I enable it, it says 'Turning On' and stays there for about three minutes and returns to off again.

But sometimes it just works.. it connects and internet is full speed and all is well.. then suddenly after sometime it stops again.

I am in this dilemma since over two months now and I don't know what to do.

Because it works some time I suspect it could be a battery issue, the wifi demands certain current from the battery and when the battery is not able to provide it the wifi won't start ( I have tried with the charger plugged in also, it behaves the same, wifi wont work ), although I am no expert in this.

What I have tried so far,

Tried installing 5.1.1 rom,

Tried installing stock ROM,

Tried various times to rename wpa_suplicant file

Tried without SIM and without SDCARD

Tried with a different battery

Opened the phone and re plug that blue wire

Tried 4.4.2 stock ROM

etc etc

No use, I have to depend on phones mercy till I get WIFI and data packages are very expensive here :(

Please advice something else I can try

Thanks.

hi, i'm running cm 12, twrp 2.7.0.0, and when i wanted to flash cm 12.1 i got the following error:

"error executing updater binary in zip"

i tried:

1. wipe

2. updating to twrp 2.8.7 (and then came back to 2.7.0.0)

3. installing few cm nightlies

well, nothing worked. iv'e read a lot on line, and what i did came from there, the only thing i didnt try is to flash a different bootloader because i couldn't find a straight forward answer what to install (and i'm scared to brick the damn thing)

what should I do?

THANK YOU!!!!!!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MB525:
Do not use 2.7.0.0, use at least version installed by Autorec v2.

Flash LP bootstack. Nemax bootloader changer or Daniel Stuart's or dgravy's for example. Bumped version except for Resurrection Remix.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benpeleg:
First of all, thank you so much!! now, ive looked at the nemax bootloader changer thread and it some posts there says that a KK bootloader is needed. so should i use contrary to the nemax thread?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MB525:
Nearly all those stacks include the same kk bootloader. They are ZIPs, you can look into them with WinRAR for example and compare CRCs of the aboot.bins. Do you have a D802?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benpeleg:
followup question - if i want to go back to cm 12 - can i undo the bootstack flash? if not, what should i do to go back?
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] Atadie:
Hello, guys. How you doing?

I am with a HTC ONE M7 Internation/Unlocked Soft-Bricked, with no OS... Here are some information:

- Using TWRP 2.8.7.0 custom recovery for M7 (latest version)

- Unlocked bootloader

- Rooted (at least I did it before wipping my OS)

- S-ON!

- HBOOT v.1.57

- Already have ADB/Fastboot on my PC

There's my tale:

I tried to install RUU M7 Lollipop ROM, from HTC's website. But, at the very beggining of the instalation (4%), the RUU software said it lost my device. I did it while in fastboot mode, because it was the only way RUU recognized my phone. Then I could not install Lollipop ROM by RUU method, so I decided to flash a Lollipop ROM Unlocked Version for One M7.

I knew that for doing it I would need to install some custom recovery on my phone, unlock its bootloader mode and install on my PC ADB and Fastboot. I did all of this; the bootloader unlocked I did from HTC's website guide. So, I put on my phone a ROM in zip extension, boot it on recovery mode. I read that I should wipe data, cache, calvik cache and, maybe, system. And I did it... with NO BACKUP of original ROM --' I know I was stupid...

So I wipe this partitions, entered Install menu and tried to run instalation of the ROM zip file. It didn't work!!! Some error: "E: error executing updater binary in zip..." :/

Then now I am with a Soft-Bricked HTC ONE M7 which has no OS. Some pics of my status: https: // w w w .dropbox.com/s/ruyen2ikn0u5i0u/Soft-Bricked%20M7.rar?dl=0

So I've been having issues and I want to use a descent music player.

Pretty much all I want the ability to do is forward back and forth tracks and be able to sort/view by folders.

PowerAmp does it but it's not free and after a while expires which is lame.

There's also MusicPlayer - Audio Player by Mobile_V5 but it's full of ads which is stupid and... it doesn't have a simple button where you can repeat a song. It has the folder view, recent view, etc.. which is all neat and simple. However the ads and lack of repeat button...

I don't are about shuffle I don't want shuffle. I like to pick my folder which I name a genre and then play what's in the folder. Then just go forward/back when i want to.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGISCI:
Path #1:

Won't work for 2 reasons. One, the OTA zips have to be digitally signed by motorola on the stock recovery. To flash another recovery which can use unsigned OTA zips means you would have to unlock the bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader erases the phone. Second, flashing stock firmware is confirmed to NOT fix it. The only known fix is format the data partition. Which means the problem is in the data partition somewhere, not in the system partition.

Path #2:

Would not work without root access on the phone. Since you have no root access, again no go.

Path #3:

Maybe in the next update OTA it could be fixed maybe not. This issue also exists in 5.0 as well, but it is much more rare. I had it happen to me on 5.0.

My suggestion:

If you don't wait on an OTA to see if there is a fix, bite the bullet and factory reset, unlock your bootloader. If you have an unlocked bootloader there will be options available to recover your files if this ever happens again via custom recovery like TWRP.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bken:
Would Path #2 stand a chance if I only wanted photos? I don't care about all my settings etc that would require root to access - I feel like Wear has at least that much permission on the phone? I really just wish I had a way to launch AirDroid...

It's a shame, I worry about hardware failure so I keep the bootloader locked to preserve my warranty. Then I suffer a software failure that I could easily recover from if I had voided my warranty, but because I didn't, I'm screwed. It always feels like a no-win situation, a gamble between whether software or hardware will fail first. :mad:
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGISCI:
Maybe if there is an app for your watch that can see and backup your photos. Yes that is possible. But fixing it remotely via the watch is what would need root since it would need to modify files that it doesn't have permission to touch.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bken:
I didn't realize that AirDroid 3 allows access to the phone without any inputs from the phone, and luckily I had it installed! I recovered just about everything I wanted. :D PSA to everyone with a Moto X - Airdroid will save your butt if you get the black screen of death. I'm so happy right now haha

I don't care about fixing my phone, I only wanted my files. I only suggested to fix it via sideload so it would work long enough to recover my data.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darknessrise1234:
adb backup command is your friend.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGISCI:
Only problem is I read somewhere that adb does not work either when you get the blackscreen problem.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bken:
Correct! There is no way to enable ADB debugging for those of us who don't leave it on 24/7. Also, IIRC people haven't had luck connecting to ADB regardless, presumably because I don't think you can connect with ADB until you unlock your phone and accept the computer's fingerprint? Neither of which you can do with a black screen. The only ADB you can access is sideload from recovery. If I had a custom recovery I could adb pull from within recovery, but with stock I cannot...

AirDroid has saved everything I wanted except my SMS, which is funny because it can read my SMS's, so worst case I can copy and paste into a text file... It's a minor thing to lose though. In any case, I'm switching back to my Nexus 4 until this gets sorted - don't want to risk the problem recurring with the Moto X. Maybe when that gets sorted I'll have a chance to offload them. Otherwise, no big loss, I got 99% of what I wanted. :)
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bken:
Sorry for bumping an ancient thread BUT I just wanted to update that I fixed my phone and recovered ALL my data. Sideloading the next OTA through stock recovery fixed everything.

Didn't try it until recently; left the phone in a drawer while I went back to my Nexus 4 and then Nexus 5X. Finally gave it a go and it worked! Maybe someone else is in the same boat, and has a soft-bricked Moto X they can finally rescue their data off?

start odin and and check if the phone is recognised

select the downloaded autoroot tar.md5 file from the first post in the pda (or AP) field.

click start and wait

If the phone reboot and you see the chainfire logo on the background with some text, you succesfully rooted your phone. If nothing happens check if phone driver are currently installed and redo the procedure

Link updated, anyway, as this is the version for the normal gt-i9505, you will have to use volumes button to insert password/pin.
