Bad SD Card

I've been pulling my hair out for the last day trying to figure out why it would act like it partitioned fine, but then when I did a 'print' in parted it would only show one FAT32 partition. I had the EXACT problem the OP was having.

Half my day spent looking for some other resolution and then realized I had another SD card with me (just half the size) and tried it in the Recovery with that one with complete success. No errors or anything. I'm trying Paragon Partition Manager for my larger card, but not finding an option for the ext2 (or other UNIX) formats. It's the free 2010 version so I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

Bad SD Card - Paragon Killing USB Drivers?

So, version 9.0 has the options for the needed Linux partitions. With that, it would appear I have a bum 8GB card. As stated, the 4GB works just fine - both Transcend Class 6 cards. On one PC it was having a difficult time in the formatting process after creating the partition and I had to kill the application via task manager in Windows. Then it got to where my USB port drivers couldn't start so I couldn't read via SD card adapter or USB cable to the phone with the card mounted. I'm in IT so I've dealt with drivers failing before, but I'm finding myself having to ask my friend Google now as even after uninstalling the drivers I have the same result. I'm afraid it might be due to the Paragon application. More on that below.

I installed Paragon on another laptop at home and it went through the process successfully (at least appeared to) with the 8GB card. Joy had returned to my frustrated being and I proceeded to use the restore image to upgrade from ext2 to ext3 - success! - Then it was wipe and flash. All seemed well in the world until I went into the settings after getting into the OS for the first time (again) to look at my secondary SD Card space and found it at "unknown." Looking at the card via Paragon Partition Manager once again it was showing as only two partitions instead of three with the ext3(2) being "unformatted." Just to be sure, I put in the 4GB card to verify in Paragon it's showing as expected (three partitions in correct formats).

Being the stubborn sod I am, I came to work determined to get the 8GB card working and installed Paragon on a test machine (I run a large testing lab) and redid the partitions. Removing and re-adding the partitions on the 8GB with "success" then simply unmounting and mounting the card to the PC revealed the card is definitely the major flaw all along. After mounting it came up as just the two partitions again - FAT32 and unformatted for the 2nd, even though it was only 10 seconds ago it showed successful creation of the three and formatting. Because I'm one to verify a verification I repeated my steps to see the same result. However, not only did I see this same result I now DIDN'T see the SDCard via Explorer, but could via Paragon. Inspection of Device Manager showed the exact same thing as on my home laptop that stopped being able to read the Android phone with card or adapter with card.

So, my last couple days of fighting and frustration were all because of the SD card of which I've never had a problem with it storing data for the last year with many times reformatting and re-applying data. Odd, to say the least. I am back up and running, but now I have USB drivers failing to start problem on two PC's! This is not a concern with the one at work since I'll just restage it, but I'm afraid it might take restaging my laptop for this to be fixed which as we all know is just not very convenient.

Anyhow, the lengthy explanation was more for those like me that were Googling/searching for a long time for a similar situation.

Cheers.
[G1 General] 2dorr:
I have a similar problem. One of my SD cards of 1 GB has ext 2 and 3. But the main one of 2 GB can be partitioned only with ext 2. I am using Amon Recovery 1.5.2. When I press create ext 3 I get an error and not even from console it doesn't work, I get upgrade_fs not found.
[G1 General] vwyankee:
I would say it IS the same problem and that your card is not being partitioned properly. The reason it can't upgrade from ext2 to ext3 is because there isn't ext2 to begin with even though the partition process gave a "success" result in the Recovery. I'm using the same Amon 1.5.2 as well. It somehow will not format as the space will be there unformatted if you open the card in a partition application with GUI.

Going to the SD Card settings from within the OS you'll see the SD Card secondary use grayed out and showing "unknown."
[G1 General] 2dorr:
So what is the solution? What if I buy a new card Class 6 that can't be partitioned?
[G1 General] vwyankee:
I would say keep your receipt and return it for another. I've had issues with SD cards before where they kept going corrupt within a day of use and just returned them for another (same brand, same model) that would work fine.
[G1 General] 2dorr:
It's not a hardware problem, I managed to partition it after some tries. I think that Amon RA recovery does not recognize the sd card sometimes. It worked after I hit the reboot button in recovery and pull out the battery. After that I went back to recovery and I could partition it.
[G1 General] ohgood:
bug a friend with a linux///mac machine and partition it with that. i've seen lots of problems with usb/partitioning on windows ,and never had the same problem on mac/linux. 3 microsd cards were 'unusable' according to vista, reeformated just fine with osx.

give it a shot. :)
[G1 General] vwyankee:
You verified it worked with looking in the SD card and Phone storage settings?

I've also discovered that the 4GB card that I was able to partition without a problem was one I should've thrown out as I couldn't remember where it came from until after dealing a couple days of constant lockups on the phone (now that things are running off the SD). It was thrown in a drawer due to going corrupt every few days where the data on it was lost/gone/unreadable. Going out to get a new SD card today.

To the statement about bugging someone with a mac/linux, that doesn't appear to be the issue here since it won't work with using Gparted either (at least in my case).
[G1 General] vwyankee:
Just an FYI update, that after buying a new (not the lowest end) SDHC class 6 8GB card, it partitioned just fine in the recovery image along with being able to upgrade the ext2 to ext3 then ext4. Now I'm finally seeing the speedy benefits running Cyanogen's latest ROM. No issues since replacing with a good card.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] technoware:
hi,

I downloaded BsB 6.5.1 rom for my htc diamond, but that halts the phone again and again. Can any body please give me the links for stable and fast windows mobile 6.5 for my htc diamond.

Regards.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bchau:
I have used BSB 6.5S ROM for about a month now. It is the best ROM so far for me. Stable, reliable and fast. I haven't altered much to the ROM apart from adding CHero clock and a bit of theme change here and there. I suggest used the ROM as it is for a while first. Check that it is OK before adding your own apps or so one and a time so that you can troubleshoot problem is due to the ROM or your own app.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] technoware:
Please help

My mobile device is in a loop now. Windows does not load. I have done hard reset many times, doesn't load windows. I have done soft reset many times as well. Basically, I can't copy rom onto internal storage, as active sync is not connecting.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] g3k:
Probably another MTTY case... By the way this question should be opened in BsB ROM thread. Seach for MTTY in there.

[HD2 General] myklm:
Does the current HD2 that one can buy from various sources work on the ATT 3G network with a current ATT SIM card?
[HD2 General] 900SS:
No, You will not get 3G. the current phones do not have the 850MHZ that ATT uses for 3G.

You have to wait till mid to end of this month when the phone is out with the 850MHZ.
[HD2 General] n4v1n:
Where is this info from? if this is true I will certainly be getting the hd2. Will it be 850/1900?
[HD2 General] 900SS:
The phone will have 850MHZ.

I have been told it will should be out mid to end of this month in Australia.

I bought my HD from there and will be buying the HD2 as soon as it is out.
[HD2 General] lude219:
From HTC australia. It'll come out for the Telstra's NextG network which runs on 850/2100. Since AT&T is overhauling their 1900mhz tower for the much faster 850mhz, the 850/2100 Telstra version is very ideal.
[HD2 General] thedeathblow:
i'm kinda afriad of buying the HTC HD2 that will come to the US in the Q1 of 2010.

I have one question about it ,,, if i bought it " US HD2 " ,, is it going to work outside the US and work with other carrier like the iPhone for example?
[HD2 General] lude219:
Ok let's clear some things up. The "US HD2" is the T-Mobile version. T-MOBILE. What does this mean? If you're with AT&T and bought the "US HD2"/TMobile version, you can talk but will be limited to EDGE for data...no 3G. The HD2 is a quadband phone so you can use it to talk all over the world. Notice that i bold only the word talk? You won't be able to get 3G outside of the US unless the country/carrier you're visiting has 1700/2100 UMTS/3G band (which most don't). So if you're visiting other countries, you can talk all you want, but will more than likely stuck with EDGE for data. Period.

So let's recap:

1) "US HD2" = T-Mobile USA version

2) Telstra NextG HD2 (australian) = compatible with AT&T 3G

3) HD2 is a quadband phone for voice. You can talk on pretty much any country.

4) HD2 is a dualband phone for UMTS/3G/data. You will be stuck with EDGE unless you have the correct band.

5) Tmobile sucks

6) ?????

7) PROFIT!
[HD2 General] thedeathblow:
so if i bought from Telstra NextG, i can work with At&t 3G using at$t? and also TALKING if i'm using other carer like T-Mobile?
[HD2 General] pjhollin:
Not at the same time. To use a carrier's service (data or voice) you need a sim from that carrier. So to use at&t data you need an at&t sim; to use T-mo voice you need a T-mo sim. The HD2 is not a dual-sim phone, so you can only have one sim installed at a time, and therefore can only be using either at&t or T-mobile at any given time. You can swap sims if the phone is unlocked to use the other carrier's services. I have no idea if the Telstra HD2 will be unlocked or is unlockable...maybe someone who is using a Telstra HD in the USA can respond to that issue.

Hope this helps.
[HD2 General] JSmid6:
so i take it that T-mo and ATT use different frequencies for their 3g?
[HD2 General] band27:
Yep,

T-mobile use 1700MHz 3G frequency in the USA when most of 3G compatible devices (at&t) run on 850/1900MHz 3G/HSDPA freqencies
[HD2 General] richsark:
Hi,

I am a new user and I hope I am in the right place.

I just came back from Sydney Australia, and while I was there I bought teh HTC HD2 phone. WHen I got it it had all the Telstra crap on it and It was useless for me since I have t-mobile.

After I bought, I updated the ROM to RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship.exe

I had to use HSPL but I got it to work.

I just arrived to New York today and I could not wait to turn on the phone and see it in action. To my dispointment, I could not get 3G on it. The band and network are set to AUTO. The only thing I get is Edge.

I tried all manual bands and no luck

So then I tried to update the ROM to LEO_2.02.531.14_WWE_B28223\LEO_2.02.531.14_WWE_B28223

But it does not seem to work, no home screen just HTC and the windows start icon, phone and contacts appear on the bottom. Dont know whats wrong?? but perhaps some can shed some light.

Going back to ROM to RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship.exe for now.

Just want to know if I am on the right path?? Will this phone I bought work with t-mobile 3g service?

and what ROM is the best for this HTC HD2 phone and how can I get it?

Any tips would be awesome !

Thanks
[HD2 General] Miwa:
That phone will not work with US T-Mobile. Sell it on ebay and wait for the US T-Mo HD2.

T-Mobile uses the weird 1700/2100 UTMS bands in the US, and pretty much only phones made specifically for it will work.
[HD2 General] richsark:
Crap'po'la

I was afraid of that:eek:. so I can use it, just wont get 3G:rolleyes:

So no ROMS would help right?

Is there A ROM that is better then what I have now? I have RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship.exe

Thanks

[HD2 General] eastside770:

[HD2 General] richsark:
Hi, The phone I bought straight from the Telstra shop was unlocked. I did put my SIM in it and it registers as TMobile but no 3G. ( I did this in the States) Over there in Sydney with my Tmobile SIM it was 3G !

My guess is the bands are not compatible. I am stuck with Edge I guess... unless there is a way to make it work :)

Thanks
[HD2 General] michaeljf:
TMobile will have a roaming agreement with Telstra which means while in Australia you will have connected to the Telstra 3G network using the 850MHz frequency, but as a "visitor". Once back in the US the TMobile network uses 1700MHz which the Telstra version of the HD2 won't work with.

I travel a fair bit to the US and UK for work so prior to the HD2 I had a 850/1900/2100 UMTS phone which covered me for AT&T in the US. Now that AT&T are moving to use 850 more widely the lack of 1900 won't be a problem and 2100 is used widely in the UK and Europe.

Hi,

I have EnergyRom Genesis

Sept 5, 2009 WWE

I love it but I have a nasty problem w/ MMS images.

Every time i add an image to an MMS message (whether by adding or taking a new photo), the image size (pixels) is reduced and it is so small as to be appreciated by the recipient.

I looked around in the tweaks and settings and can't find any thing related to it.

I hope someone can help me out on this as I can't use the MMS feature at all.

TIA!!

I can get the TT6 cabs onto my HD2 and get the HD2 recognized by TT Home 1.5. But when TT installs, it throws up a configuration screen that is obviously in the wrong screen resolution and conflicts with the HTC operating system overlay.

Can anyone offer an work around, since I see that some have obviously overcome the problem already?
