WM6 and SD-HC cards - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi there,
Has anyone tried to put a SD-HC card on a WM6 upgraded device ?
I read somewhere that they may be compatible with "some" older devices via a firmware upgrade, so..... I was wondering..... if a 8Gb card would fit my prophet ^^
Anyone has one near his hands ?
Thanks !

miniSD HC (Hight Capacity) Patch

To my friends and who want to try....
miniSD HC (Hight Capacity) Patch
...from the last Sleuth's Hermes rom.....
I've used a "Transcend miniSD HC 4gb" w/ the original LVSW ROM v2.0.1.1 for some weeks without any problem.....but a day my card gonna broken without any reasons.....so, I'll hope that this patch resolve "this" bug.....
Please, try it!
If they works, I'll add into a future ROM release....anyway, it should work on any LVSW's WM6 based-ROM !!! (as LVSW v2.0.1.1 or AX3L v2.0.8)
Hello AX3L,
me too had same problem, with the same card.
Now i'm using a normal miniSD 4gb without any problem till 2 months.

If you have the new card reader from Sandisk that reads SDHC format cards, you might reformat your card with that.
I tried it but nothing works... Any clue ???
Rups
updated....anyways....it work ONLY on any LVSW's WM6 based rom (as LVSW v2.0.1.1 or AX3L v2.0.8)....
Please unistall previous version, softreset your device and istall the new one....
The intent is improove the stability using an SD HC card (natively supported by these roms)...
Hi,
This sounds good but how do I apply it?
Thanks.
Actually - scratch that last request but now that I have installed it I can not see my card anywhere
I get an IO Error on my PC.
Any suggestions?
hi, my MiniSDHC 4Gb has become invisible... i have used it for 3 mont, and now, i can't read it anywere, i send it back to the seller and he said that this problem has appening to other!!! he send me 2 miniSD off 2GB.
With this patch I Finaly managed to get my 4GB SDHC Card to work with the bepe ROM
I tried patch in ING 3.28 Rom , LVSW based but don't Work it in this ROM
Has anyone tried this patch on the "official beta" WM6? I have a Transcend 4GB SDHС. So far it works ok without any patches, but I don't want to run into problems later on when I have many programs on my Storage Card. Should I run this patch still?
What about this patch from HTC. Is it for WM5 only?

SDHC on Prophet???

Hi,
has anyone ever tried to insert an SDHC (High Capacity) memory card in his/her Prophet?
Will the OS (WM5 or WM6) recognise this medium or will there ever be drivers for this type of sd?
Doesnt work ... use search function ... possible some on make a driver or not ... nobody knows more!
You mean There is No Driver For Prophet ??
I download x500 Driver, But it Dosent Work
SDHC is anything over 2GB right? I have a 4GB SD running in mine.
The card doesn't specifically say it is SDHC, but it is certainly 4GB. OCZ is the brand of the card.
I'm using a non-SDHC 4Gb card and it works fine. I don't think you can get higher capacity than 4gb without going to SDHC but I've not heard of a working Prophet driver for it.
4gb
4gb is the cut-off point. You can have sdhc 4gb cards, or non-sdhc 4gb SD cards. I have a 4gb(at least 133mhz) one from the company 'CnMemory' which works great.

Not the driver is the problem. I think the hardware is not reading those SDHC. I've also tryied. I've buyed an SDHC 8 Gb but i only use like a portable memory because i cannot use inside my Qtek S200
I read MSDN and i found that we need to recompile or patch the sdbus.dll and sdmemory.dll
But may be HTC also modified a SD Host Controller for understanding only SD 1.1
In this case we should modify the Host controller driver.
P.S.
The SDHCdrivers from Artemis and x500 - dont work on s200
The only last thing I want for my Neo after getting the Big Storage ROM is the SDHC compatibility, after that my Neo is the pefect working PPC Phone!

As I understood, the controller function is on the TI chip itself in Prophet.
This should mean that HTC cannot have altered it.
(there are SDHC compliant phones which use the same OMAP)
Wouldn't it be possible to find a patch the same way as the Artemis people (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332445) hve done it from a machine with the same chip ?
there is an sdhc driver for eten x500 throughout the net. i tried it on my prophet. but it disables wifi functionality. moreover, i could not test it since i didn't have any sdhc card at hand.
wi-fi don´t work
Hi
I tried use sdhc.cab in my S200, and now wi-fi don´t work. Then, I need original files sdbus.dll and sdmemory.dll (WM5).
Thanks

Yes but with no wifi, did sdhc work? Please let us know.
i'm both disgusted and confused...
j/k
whenever I put in my transcend 4GB card my prophet gets all messed up... I'm not sure if the card is SDHC or just plain old SD, i'm kinda a newbie, but would really be interested in figuring out how to get 4GB on my phone, which was formerly an Imate JAMin.
Thanks all...
Have you tried a different ROM?

The hardware doesn't support it... It's possible to use certain drivers that allow 4GB cards to be used as they don't need the double length address bit that SDHC uses, but any more and you need different hardware.
My Prophet does not read 4GB SD cards
Dear All,
I found that some of you are able to use 4Gb SD cards in your Prophet. Currently I am able to use a 2GB micro SD card with an adapter for my prophet. How can I use a 4GB micro SD card in my prophet. Is there a special driver that I need to install or anything?
please advise
I just tried a 4GB sdhc card and it doesn't work with my s200...

As far a I know sdhc memory cards are not suported on the artemis.
It just doesnt have the hardware to support it...

i read that if you donwload this driver SDIO Hx version 1.1 then it works.
as any one has this driver for me????

Either HTC wants to say that they support non-SDHC 4 GB cards which probably should work anyways or that they are going to support SDHC in the official release.
I've read many discussions on that SDHC and that it is only a software problem on the Artemis and that someone from this community got sdhc working on a HTC device which did not natively supports it.
e-mail to HTC
Good Morning Customer, Thank you for contacting HTC Europe.? There will be an updated ROM for your device soon but we can not give you a specific time on this.? We can only guarantee a 2GB card working on your device and can't guarantee the 6GB working, even with the ROM update.
I do not understand how is it possible that noone knows whats exactly the difference between SD and SDHC.
there are so many discussion on this topic, and no definite answer.
Trust they do...

I want to believe its like the difference between a cat and a cattle, firstly obviously in the name and also possibly in the compression and algorithms employed.
but still there should be some kind of RFC it's not secret stealth technology... but I can't find anything in the "internets" SDHC is like a myth... people know that it's out there but cannot explain how it happens...
Sdhc Working In A Touch!!

Different hardware and different drivers. No mystery to it!
Yep - absolutely right - no mystery to it. In fact, SDHC is a published standard.
It is different from SD in that it uses block mode addressing instead of byte mode addressing, so unless the firmware in the device controller is designed to support botht byte and block mode addressing, it won't work.
The SD card controllers in some devices have been designed to support both types of addressing and some haven't, because they were designed before the new standard was published.
The Artemis/P3300/Orbit was not designed to support block mode addressing within the firmware, so until either HTC or someone else very clever provides an update to the SD card device controller that provides block mode addressing, the SDHC cards won't be recognised in the SD card drive...

Hey, for more than 4gb sdhc you need sdbus.dll and sdmemory.dll from a device with wm6 aku 0.3.1+ (build 17944 or higher) and update os to 17944 or higher, no other way

have you checked that just by replacing these .dll-s it will work?
If you have os rom higher than 17944, you should only update these 2 files - tested on loox 560
Could you post the 2 dll and I'll give it a try.
http://rapidshare.com/files/59328091/sd.7z.html
here you go - copy 2 dll to \windows and install certs.cab
Thanks for that, unfortunately it didn't work.
Just double checking but the files you mentioned earlier were sdbus.dll and sdmemory.dll , but the zip file contained sdmemory.dll and signer.dll. Did you mean to send these, or am I missing something?
Thanks
jupp, sending the right sdbus.dll - file would be great!

8G microSD seen as a 4G

I recently received a Cavalier running Windows Mobile 6 build 17745.0.2.3. When I put my 8G microSD card it only sees it as a 4G card. So some of the files and directories are inaccessible. Is this something to do with my card, how I've formatted it or a known problem? Are there any fixes or is loading the 6.1 ROM the fix? I assume there are no official HTC 6.1 ROMs? I can't see any links to the official 6.0 ROM either as there are for other devices, anyone know where to find that? I always feel more comfortable upgrading the ROM to 6.1 when I know I cna fall back to the 6.0 should things not go swell.
Thanks in advance for your time ...

A wise man once told me be careful of what you know (or think you know) because it will get in the way of what you don't know ...
You are in fact quite correct. This fixed my issue. Here is the link to the file for anyone else with a similar problem. Thanks for your reply. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1766401&postcount=93
Even more news ... I bought a Sandisk 16G card and popped it in and it is seen correctly! This fix does the trick. So in summary I am on WM6 original from HTC, and have installed the above fix and the 16G card works!

SD Card..dumb question..

Sorry if this was answered before, but my silly question is:
What´s the maximum capacity sd card proved to work safely with the htc dash/excalibur..(also, which brand could you recommend?)
I am currently using the 3VOLUTION rom from the master ookba..
Thanks..

I am using 16Gb with 3V ROM, and it works fantastically. There also thread discussing this matter somewhere in Excalibur section.LOOK HERE .http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=506775
i have tested directly on dealer center all avaiable Micro SD HC (2/4/8/16/ GB)
all SD HC tryed don't work, my Excalibur branded HTC S620 don't recognize it.
My s620 can work only on Micro SD NOT HC
(i use 3vo rom WM 6,5)

I have SanDisk, Kingston micro sdhc cards in 2,4,8, and 16Gb, and they all work on my Excalibur running #3VO ROM WM6.5. I know other members can confirm that.
I'm using 4GB Sandisk microsd hc, without problems. 3VOLUTION ROM
I am also using a 4gb card and have had no problems.
You "should" be able to use anything up to 16GB
Should is because not all sdhc cards are made the same/same class etc....
Which is why if searched this would have already been answered SanDisk/Kingston branded if going for a high capacity, generic if small 2GB -.
