Problem after RAM sweep

aammiitt · #1 (**permalink**) 02-01-2011, 09:55 AM

Hi all... I am experiencing a very weird situation with my TP2 after I ran RAM sweep yesterday. I am running 6.5 Energy ROM (Dinik), I just tried to clear some RAM and so ran RAN sweeper. Since then I can't see my storage card at all. I did soft-reset... hard shutdown...still NO storage card. Infact when I went to check my camera... the option for storage is also grayed out (and only default main memory is selected).
Infact so many softwares that I had installed on the storage card have missing icons and dead links now.

Any suggestions and help is appreciated.
Thanks again
Cheers!

Can you read the SD card on your computer?

Try removing your card and soft reset. Then after it boots wait a min and then power down.
Then insert your card and turn your device back on and see if it shows up.

maybe try a different ROM. don't think RAM sweeper would mess up a card.

K guys.. thanks a lot for your help and suggestions.
I tried hooking up the microSD to my PC to see if I could access the data.. well... it was very strange.. it would show up for a second and then drop out. The PC wouldn't see it... so it was very eratic. Which lead me to believe the card was failing.
Then I ran some smartcard formatter by constantly connecting / disconnecting the card ... just when the PC recognized the card, I ran the "format" command ... but it was stuck half way thru... and then the PC would not see it again!

Well.. my conclusion... the card went bad. Yes it is a loss of data... personal pics etc.... but atleast I am not kicking myself that RAM sweeper did it.. as you guys say so!

Thanks once again...
Cheers!

Sorry you lost all your data. I backup my SD card once a month so if mine goes bad, I will still have most of the data.

Yes... from my experience... I urge you all to periodically back-up your SD cards!
