Micro SD cause boot loop in ICS

ruzumaki — Tue, 02 Oct 2012 13:28:11 GMT

My sola using MT27i_6.0.B.3.184 before upgrade.

I upgrade via Sony PC Companion but after I finish upgrade, my Sola now having unlimited boot loop.

I find out the cause of boot loop is due to micro sd.
Any ppl facing micro sd bug here??

After upgraded to ICS I no longer can use microsd.

If i plug in microsd to my phone, i will get bootloop.

Now I take off my microsd and it work like charm...

Tried other microsd also same... keep bootloop
I have tried factory reset as well and format the microsd card, the problem still exist.

Anyone facing the same problem or having solution?

That is strange; the formatting of the memory card will generally resolve this. Given the nature of the problem and what you have tried up to this point to resolve it, I can only advise that you return the phone so that it may assessed by an authorised repair agent.

What are your thoughts about this forum? Let us know by doing this short survey.

Ruzumaki,

What SDCard are you using? I'm having the same problem. I'm using the Transcend 16GB CH10 card.

You can read my post here: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/53501

I hope Sony will come up with a solution soon.

I have this problem as well. I've tried several sd cards, ranging from 2gb - 32gb, sandisk and samsung.

The odd part is that this only happens on ICS. On GB, not a single problem.

On my samsung class 10 32gb sd I get bootloops, on my 2gb - 32gb sandisk cards I get random reboots when I try to copy files or play music/video off of it.

Very annoying. Not sure if I should send my device back for repair.

I've tested these cards on my old HTC Desire C and they all seem to work

Not helping... I believe most of us have tried to format to different file system including FAT32.
Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

OK...

Does the card being detected after the boot up of your phone (insert card back after boot back)?

...or just triggers Force Reboot?

The card is detected after boot up. Scanning for media... then trigger reboot in the middle/end of scanning for media
