Strage SD mem problem
 

I had my Kingston miniSD in the SDadapter in my computer.
I had a folder which I could not delete.
So I reformatted the card.
Every time I put it in the 6700, it froze.
As soon as I took it out the 6700 worked normal.

So I reformatted quik, full fat, fat32... error checked also..
Allways the same problem, BUT it also always ran perfect on the computer.

So I hard resetted reinstalled different Extroms, no extrom.
Re-installed base 3.3rom.
No difference.

Then I finally re-uploaded the latest rom and put nojunk extrom in.

I did not let customize, I soft reset before three secs.
Reformat card to fat, quik format.

stick card in and now finnally all is well....

I think it must have been corrupt rom when I was playing with swapping roms in winrar, so if your SD works fine in your computer, then I would point to the 6700's files... and reinstall.
:shock:

I spoke too soon. the memory card problem came back and I am not home to check the card.
Evreything works fine without the card and I know I have a clean install.

the card stops the unit and immediately returns to normal when I take it out .

this prpblem makes me wonder if the autorun exe altered my card.
I had been doing some testing, trying to get the extrom to run off the card before, but
I at a loss because the card was formatted so any hidden files should have been gone.

Any insight would be appreciated.

I am having the same problem with my palm treo 700wx. I think it is related to activesync somehow, because as soon as i put in my sd card, activesync pops up and EVERYTHING freezes. Both the touchscreen and keyboard and only a soft-reset helps. Removing the SD card doesn't help, just doing a soft-reset without the SD card in (if it is left in, same problem, instant crash with activesync).

I think it may possibly be related to having plugged my phone into my Windows laptop after syncing with my iMac. It claimed that it needed to sync with a different computer, so named itself "Windows PC 2" [because it had already taken "Windows PC" previously]. Right after this, the crashes began, and now I cannot use my SD card at all.

I reformatted my SD card, no change. I can read the card on my mac and pc just fine. So it seems like something is messed up on the registry?

Please help!

Thanks!

Did you guys try formatting the sd card from the PPC? I know there are some third party tools that will let you do that, I just have never used them before...

see, I would if I could, but the ppc locks up too quickly, right upon insertion of the card.

Oddly enough, this has been staggeringly difficult to find documented anywhere else on the internet - there seem to be acknowledgements of SD card bugs in WM5, but that's about it. Since I know it's related to activesync, any ideas as to how one could somehow...well...restore the activesync installation without having to do a full-on hard reset?

okay, so I managed to solve my version of the problem at least.

Earlier, I had reformatted the SD card, put all the old files on it, and tried to use. Crashed.

Last night, formatted the SD card again. Except this time, I put the clean card into my treo, and there were no issues! I was thrilled, assuming I had misformatted the first time round somehow. So I docked my treo and started copying over the backup of my SD card when, all of a sudden, the same total lockup/crash occurred! Highly suspicious. So it was clearly a particular file that my treo just couldn't stand. Turns out that the copying had stopped at the pRSS folder in Program Files, which was the last program I had installed before the lockups started happening. Deleted the folder, and all is peachy. Thank god I installed it on the SD card and not in main memory!

Has anyone else had problems/experience with pRSS? I haven't been able to use it because of the problem I mentioned, and I'm too scared to install it to main memory.

Either way, great success (in terms of having a functioning SD card again)! Now to get this A2DP magic running...

Your SD card issue could be due to more than 2GB size. If so, look at this link http://www.pocketpc-live.com/partition-sd-cards.html

Hope it helps.
