Sucks you lost your SD card but the rom or magldr did not damage your card you must of done something wrong to where your phone is not reading the card. You should wipe everything and try again chances are it will work like a charm.

Formatting

Hi, thanks for reply. I tried to reformat 3 times already with a same result.

My settings are:

FAT32 (FULL FORMAT)

Allocation: 64kb
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
Maybe panasonic formatter can help you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cungLe:
Hi, thx for replying. Yes I tried that too, but since I didn't have a card reader I had to use USB Mass Storage. And when I opened up the program it said this device is not supported.

So I had to use Windows formatter.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] furikazashi:
Not sure if you fixed it yet or not but I used backward to fix mine. On any generic Linux build cfdisk or fdisk it to partition it out to a fat32 lba partition . Will fix it right up.

Hi, thx for answering. Could you please elaborate more on how I should use Linux to partition? I've never used Linux before, but I have and know how to use Gparted Live.

Hey, download and install SD Formatter 3.0 from here....Load MAGLDR 1.13 and use the usb mass storage function to try connecting ur sd card to ur pc...use d program to format ur sd card with the following options...

FORMAT TYPE : FULL (Erase)

FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT : OFF

It'll tk awhile depending on hw much stuff used 2 be on ur sd...Just let it run..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cungLe:
Hey, thx for replying. I tried your method, but when I open up the SD formatter it says this device is not supported. I used MAGLDR 1.13 USB Mass Strg
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cungLe:
Any ideas?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Do NOT use MAGLDR 1.13 USB mass storage and dont listen to the person who told you to either.

1.13 has a very bad bug with mass storage driver and it corrupts sd/data. If you haven't got a card reader go back to 1.12 and use that mass storage or CWR mass storage as an alternative.

Once you have done this use Panasonic SD formatter on following settings...

FORMAT TYPE: FULL (ERASE ON)

SIZE ADJUSTMENT: ON

I had this problem too, surprisingly with the same ROM. Are you using Clockwork Recovery? If so go into Clockwork Recovery -> Advanced -> Partition SD Card -> Pick some sizes. After doing this my SD card worked fine.

I can not for the life of my get my Droid 2 back to its original state. I've tried both the Windows (RSDLite) and Linux method. Both of them fail. I pray that someone can help me, since I do not have insurance on my device it would cost a pretty penny to get a new one.

For Windows, these are the tools i've tried and FAILED:

1. RSDLite

RSDLite 4.7 w/ patch

RSDLite 4.8

I've tried another round of trying to fix my phone w/ Firewall disabled. I've used 8 different computers to see if it was mines that was acting up. I've tried to flash the SBF through WinXP SP2/SP3, 2000, Vista 32bit/64bit, Windows 7 32bit/64bit and Ubuntu.

I don't understand why this is happening to me :\ I'm using my old Blackberry in the meantime until I could figure out how to flash this correctly. I don't know what i'm doing wrong?

Anyone got any advices? :(
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Sorry I didn't get back to you through PM I've been a little busy. Have you tried flashing the D2 2.37 Bootloader? (I believe that's what it is, you need the newest, but the old one won't hurt anything.) Maybe something's mucked on yours. But I'm not sure. What's the history of the device maybe that will lead to a solution?
[Droid 2 General] 1upyours:
My Droid 2 is currently using Bootloader D2.37. I've refreshed and reloaded the Bootloader.. I've also tried to downgrade it in attempt to see if it'd do anything, but it seems to not allow me to - says Failed. I followed a thread somewhere on this site.

These are the problems i'm encountering which is leading to me wanting to restore my phone.

About a week ago, my phone suddenly Force Closed on everything I attempted to open. At the moment, I was sending a text. I then rebooted my device, and oddly enough, all my "new" text I sent were gone. It only restored the last time my phone was in a usable state. Seems to not save anything I do on my phone prior to the reboot. I'm not sure what the heck the deal is. My phone still works, but every few hours I must reboot my phone.

I've already tried multiple times to Wipe Data/Cache, Uninstall Apps (once I reboot, they all come back), and deleting Bootstrap through ADB/Terminal and reinstalling. I can't even get into Bootstrap.. I just can't seem to do anything with my device. Everytime I remove or delete something, the next reboot will bring them back.

Has anyone ever heard of this weird issue? I've tried searching to see if this has happened to anyone elses Droid 2, but it seems i'm the first to encounter this :(
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Are you sure you're correctly rooted and you have never flashed clockwork or ROM manager without installing and running bootstrap?

If you are 100% sure then I think you have a deeper issue than some messed up hardware or something like that. I can't think of anyway that would happen unless you had some program make a backup and reinstall it every boot or so and that would be weird.

What ROM's have you used? Do you have any kind of back up software that could be interfering with your setup? Do you have a backup you can restore to?

Sorry I can't help you more. This is a really strange issue.
[Droid 2 General] 1upyours:
1. Yup I am correctly rooted. I have the Superuser app, and even did a check to assure my root was intact by downloading Titanium Backup to verify my device was rooted.

2. I've installed ROMs before. When I rooted (Nov '10) I used Z4Root, and Bootstrap Recovery then installed Fission 2.2.1/2

3. Aside from downloading Titanium Backup to verify my Root. Nope, I do not use any type of backup.

4. Yes, I have a fresh backup I could restore to if I was able to get into CW Recovery.

I am thinking I should give up. I've been trying to get this fixed for about 8 days now. I'm going to be picking up a Droid 2 Global today from a Craigslist’s seller.
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Have you tried turning the D2 off completely then plugging it into your wall charger while off. Then while it's plugged in and off turn it on. You might have to press power twice to get past the charging screen but if everything is fine you should hopefully be in clockwork if it's still on your phone and then you can try and restore the backup.

Have you tried a different usb cable?

Also it should still be under waranty at least from moto but you might see if VZW can help you (if that's where you got it)
[Droid 2 General] DryZebra:
Is this the Linux method you tried? It's super convenient and really easy if you know a little bit about how to work it.

three most important things to do before you flash

I have to agree with this, if something needs to be tested i think it should be done by the person who wants it tested not someone else.Its very irresponsible to have someone flash something that you won't flash yourself first.
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
+1

Althought I only due themes but this is the practice I follow. If it don't work on my phone wjy would I give it someone else.

Flashing anything has a chance of bricking your phone people. Don't flash something cause someone told you especially if they didn't test it them selfs.

[Epic 4G General] Ranger093:
When you flash ANYTHING you take the risk of destroying your device. I'm almost positive that Noob made sure to voice the possible issues that could come from flashing it. Don't down on him, if he says wanna flash something for me? It might break your phone though, and you accept its not his fault if you brick it.
[Epic 4G General] MedicStuder:
Everyone has a choice whether to try it or not. Noobnl is a well respected contributer here and I would lay off noobnl if u want him to continue his work. There is nothing wrong with asking people to test something out. Each phone is different. Read threw the forums everyone is experiencing different problems with different roms. Its hit or miss. Atleast he was kind enough to warn us about. I tell u what if noobnl asked me to test something I would without thinking twice.

[Epic 4G General] dannyniceboy:
noobnl is active in the irc and communicates with these people about potential risks, so far he is one of the ONLY people doing development work on the Epic and currently he only has one device, if people are willing to test stuff so he can keep his device up and working than good for him. quit *****in and talkin about things you have no idea about
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Am I insane are are the same people screaming about the lack of development here now screaming at noobnl for trying to develop for our phones?

You do realize that development is sometimes trial and error and there will always be bugs, right? Everyone who flashes anything or uses any workaround on this site is testing things that might destroy their phone but this you have a problem with? Wow.

[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
Before this thread gets locked can someone please tell me what makes noobnl so great? And why he should be above the law?

Android Creative Syndicate- From spontaneous ingenuity, comes creative brilliance
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
That's a very confrontationally phrased question you got there and it makes it kinda difficult to answer in a manner that won't be taken as an attack on your opinion.

I will speak for nobody else, but for your first question, "...what makes noobnl so great?", here's my answer:

Nobody but you has stated that noobnl's "great". It is a seemingly resentful statement especially when the viewer reads on and sees that you also believe him "above the law". Therefore, I can only conclude that you personally consider him a great man but are resentful (for whatever reason) of that greatness.

The second question, "why should he be above the law?", I'm a bit confused about. How is he exhibiting behavior or actions that you perceive as "above the law"? I see no police here nor do I see him committing any crimes...but this is the internet and I only see him as a name and words and am not involved with his life outside of these sites. If he is, in fact, breaking the law and you have witnessed it, it is your duty as a citizen to report his activities to the authorities. Otherwise, aren't you just as guilty as he?

I appreciate your willingness to put together ROMS and such and put work into this phone. I am certain that someday, you, too will be so great that other people will take a chance on not reporting illegal activities that you perform, either.

Keep up the good work, Mystery, and don't let the naysayers get to you. Just focus on what you're doing and remember that it's for yourself; if you're happy with what you're doing, don't let anyone else force you to believe otherwise.
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
What rules did he break?

but anyways man he's not the only Dev "above the law"

he's trying hard to make cm6/cm7 work on our epic and would've been done by now if samsung/sprint handled their business but he's a very active Dev even though he has school and i believe he provided us with our first leak?and provided us with 1Click root? and he's been trying to get another leak apparently.

No im not **** riding but you have to admit noobnl has probably done the most SO FAR when it comes to development on the Epic but im not taking away from other Devs like the ACS team who made the Smoothest/Fastest 2.1 rom i've ever seen.

But leave noobnl alone people should know the risk of testing for him and im sure noobnl wouldn't do it was pointless

I'm glad you responded but what was your reasons for not testing on your phone? Was it the chance that you know it can brick your device? What would you have done to help if it did brick his device?

Android Creative Syndicate- From spontaneous ingenuity, comes creative brilliance
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
With all due respect, Noobnl has not done the MOST of any dev on here. He packaged up OneClick from Joey Krim into and installer, packaged another one for CWM recovery, he didn't write CWM, and he if you look @ the code on CM6, you'd notice Skeetslink and forcystos are the ones writing the code (Mostly). He made one rom for the Epic, or should I say he deodexed and removed Sprint bloatware from 1 rom.

Ladies and Gentlemen....without further adieu, here's God.

I'm not bashing Go.. I mean Noobnl here, he's doing nothing wrong. He writes something, ya'll praise him, someone says something bad, and ya'll attack. Every time, dude sits back and everyone speaks for him. So let me be first to say Thank you Joey Krim, Forcystos, and Skeeter for doing so much for our phones and living in the shadow of Noobnl as far as where the talent is on the Epic.

Edit: I've taken more credit from Noobnl here than I should have. It's not that he does nothing, it's just that he doesn't do it all and I'm exaggerating *only slightly, have you* to make that point. He does do work and he does devote time (I'm guessing) to these projects, but he hasn't put forth 1 rom that has half of what any of his moment roms had. Just saying.

Its not that he didn't break any xda rule. But people keep saying he's allowed to do w/e it is he wants cause he is noobnl weather its an xda rule or something moraly.

Yes he's working on cm6 and cm7. Did you know that cm6 was on the evo fully functional just without 4g before the evo source? Did you not read earlier that its actually someone else doing the coding and noobnl is just the front man. Did you know that cynagon and its team don't support cm6 or cm7 for the epic? There's other devices that cm6 has been ported to that cynagon him self supports. There's a reason why he dos'nt support it for the epic. yes the one click is great but he didn't find root joeyjrim did. Anyone could have wrote the script for the one click. Noobnl didn't provide the first leak. We at acs had it before noobnl posted it and wer didn't get from him. We got it from the same person he did. And yes that person is z member here at xda also. Noobnl isn't the only dev trying to get his hands on another leak also

Okay, this is getting out of hand...

I'm not some unwitting newb that was unaware of the risks of flashing a new modem to my phone. I'm perfectly aware, and was willing to assume the risk. It's just a phone and can easily be replaced.

It's not like he came lurking out of the shadow of some dark alley in a trenchcoat saying "hey kid, you wanna try this?" I'm perfectly culpable as well.

I'm not much of a dev, but I don't mind testing some things here and there. If that's one way I can contribute, then I'm glad to do it.

If this little test would have gone the other way and the eb01 modem would have worked gangbusters, I'm sure everyone here would be singing noobnl's praises.

Instead he manned up and told us all not to do it and now he's being attacked for it.

Hardly seems right.
[Epic 4G General] skeeterslint:
I am nobodys "boy" I have worked with noobnl on some projects yes but I still think if something risky needs to be tested you should do it yourself first before laying it down in front of someone else whether they want to flash it or not. If your not willing to brick your own device its selfish to risk someone elses.
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
I can agree with that, very intelligent. I'm doing nothing here but thread jacking and getting steam off on the groupies, but tbh, Mystery n Noobnl are engaged in a discussion and for the most part looks pretty civil. That is a first, and there isn't a huge flame war going on in this thread which is amazing, and I'm glad for myself, that wasn't my intentions.
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
I'm glad you tested it and disappointed that it didn't work.

I agdee with what your saying but some things should be tested by someone who knows what there in case of emergency
