How did we solve the SDHC mystery?

I'm no looking for anyone to reveal any state secrets, but Bepe's masterful cracking of the SDHC issue has come after many months of trial, effort & failure by many people.
Can any of the ROM masters who are privvy to this new magic explain to us interested end-users just how the problem was actually cracked?
Was it just the use of a new driver from somewhere or some registry setting that hadn't been tried before or something else?
Just interested how, after all this time, we've found a solution (that even HTC didn't know of or build into their very recently issued WM6 rom), that so suddenly fixed the issue and could be built into many of the bespoke ROMs already available.....
What was the magic ingredient?

I second that !

I'd love to know, as HTC told me that it was a hardware issue. Maybe their way of trying to persuade us to update to a newer phone?
Thanks for the hard work guys. Haven't updated yet as can't afford an HC card.

extremely interesting question that i would also like the answer to.

Hi,
Question not thee, for thy shall not receive the answer thy seek.
Just say God bless the great BEPE. He's opened new doors for our devices and now there is a hive of activity all over, because we have this great ROM and SDHC driver - something that had evaded this great Forum for a very long time, despite several efforts.
Long live XDA Developers, long live all the other heroes in this Forum. You know who you are.
Something that I don't quite understand though - the great Bepe has taken a back seat and nobody hears of him anymore since he released his unique ROM. I guess he's cooking something else. I just hope that Microsoft or similar hasn't snapped him up.
THANK YOU GREAT BEPE. DANKA, DANKA, DANKA FOR THE SDHC.
Kiwi992.

Of course we thank BEBE very much for all the nice job done. No questions about that, at all.
But, still, I am also curious about how the stuff worked out.

Maybe

As simple as that? A new release from Microsoft of WM6....
If it was that I'm slightly deflated that it wasn't down to some ROM cooker mastery......
But then the update did only come out on 11th October, so the timing is right and also that would explain why HTC failed to get SDHC working in their official WM6 ROM, as that came out before this general upgrade was available.....

Any new SDHC.cab for WM5 ?

Dear All,
I have 8GB Class 6 card, can read in WM6, but WM6 currently dont have video call, so i decided to use WM5. Problem is can't read my SDHC card, use Team777 V2 to install also can read.
Any guys of you can provide the latest SDHC 8GB support cab ?
Thanks in advance...

Sadly no.
Most SDHC can read in WM5 is 4GB. I am trying to find a solution to this problem, but not stumbled on it yet.
Sorry.

What if it is not SDHC... SD 4GB only...
Is WM5 can read it ?

big cards (bigger than 4gb) wm support only in wm6 aku 0.2.2 and higher

problem 4bg not 8
if you find the new file sdhc do you put him/it?also to me with wm5 reads 4gb instead of 8

Seems I was the only one working on a 100% solution that doesn't break all the int22 that wrecks the wifi and other stuff.
I have abandoned all my XDA projects.
sorry.

Yes, really sorry to hear that. You did some great job, PD!
I hope you can see you have some great qualities on this field, even if you don't make any more images.
And thanks for still staying around!

Thanks for your kind words. I like to keep my finger on the pulse as this is a hobby that moves forward on a daily basis so you need to keep up with what is going on.
Who knows? When other (non XDA) WinCE projects are completed I may have some answers along the way. If I do I will share. That I promise.

Use 4GB sd card in HTC P3300

Is possible to inform me some if it is possible to use a 4 GB SD card in my PDA without any problem?

If its running WM6 as the OS then SDHC cards will work 4GB, 6GB and 8GB - Mike

That's not right.
You need bepe's fix or a ROM with bepe's fix in order to make the SDHC work.
You didn't search for the answer, so I'm going to tell you something you can search for in this forum.
There's a .cab (WM installation) file which you can use to make SDHC work on your device.

I am sorry you think that I am wrong, However, I can assure you I do have a HTC as supplied ROM running WM6 it is not a "Bepe" sepcial not did I have to install the CAB file it simply works ROM is 3,13,405,1 WWE dated 08/28/07 - Mike

Don't give information that has 0,00001% chance to work.
Just read the older SDHC topics in this forum.
e.g.: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310456&highlight=sdhc

Some people say they got a non-standard 4 GB non-micro-SDHC card. If it's NOT a SDHC card it will work in WM5 and WM6 regardless of any SDHC patch. Since you didn't say anything about that your information about your pda is probably true. Most people will buy SDHC cards (without knowing what that means) and therefore TryOG is right.

here ya go.
No need to start arguements and discussions over something when all they asked was for a bit of help. We were all quite new once, and sometimes forgot / neglected to use / or didnt know about the search feature.

So, whats the max capacity for a SDHC card for use in the Artemis? I've seen some on www.mymemory.co.uk which go up to 16gig! ! !
fubofo = PM me an email addy that you have linked to Paypal (if you use Paypal!) and I will buy you a couple pints as promised.

very thank you
i bought a 4 gb micro cd this morning but it's doesn´t work ,after apply the cab every fine.
i have a artemis with wm6
thena for the help.
long life to the forum

Just for information: I set up balck and blue 5 on my spv m650 and kingston 4GB sdhc works fine, without any modifications.

I used to frequent this forum a lot a few years ago when I had an O2 XDA II. It was great, lot's of helpful friendly people and a lot of fun too as we tried different things with ROM's etc.
Last couple of years though I moved to a Blackberry which was issued as part of my kit when I changed jobs. No PPC so I didn't view the forum for a long time.
Last month however I changed jobs again, handed in the Blackberry and bought myself a Dopod P800W returning to the PPC platform.
Thought I also return to the old haunt, ask a few questions and learn a bit more about the Dopod unit and what has happened in the filed of PPC's while I was away.
Well folks I can tell you the forum has changed. In reviewing the posts I was amazed at the number of times people answer a simple question with a somewhat aggressive response of "you haven't searched the forum!" type comment.
I posted some questions about my Dopod and though over 60 people read it, no one, not one person offered an answer.
So my advice is lighten up a bit and enjoy the interaction of sharing with people. We can all use a hand every now and then, who knows you may even make some friends.

It Works for me !!!
i faced the same issue of 4 GB card not getting recognized in my new P3300 (whereas the seller told me that it supports 4 GB). Anyways thanks a millon tons !!! for the cab. My P3300 now is recognizing the micro SDHC card. And yes , i am using Sandisk MicroSDHC card.

4GB Card
Hi .. I have a P3300 with WM5. Will this accept a 4GB SDHC card ? i tried the patch spoken about earlier, but i guess its only for WM6. I lost access to my Storage Card completely ...... even the old one

I'm using 8gb on my orbit so no problem at all

one of my senoir in office using o2 XDA with WM6 and have tried using this SDHC thing but could not make it work.. i think its not just OS dependent, it also depends on the ppc hardware. whether the mobile slot supports that or not matters i guess

Agree, mate...
Thanks for the link....

I agree mate, its changed a lot since the good old days and whilst collectively there is a lot more help out here many of the people feel its below them or something, i think the problem is two fold, firstly free loaders that take everything and offer nothing, like not even responding to your question, secondly there are so many more people on here now i think its became to big which is partly why people just say search the forums, i think its a shame its got this way but as they say, evolution doesnt always equal positive progress.

SDHC ready ROMS

I have read and search for a ROm here that has say it is SDHC compliant 9 able to recognize a higher capacity microsd meaning 4gig and above)
read The roms that have come out but still there are no indications that it is sdhc
I have read that only k's ( kinokin) was able to have made one please help me out I am new with this thread and had my research about roms that has been released ...
Is the driver for sdhc can cause a problem with our hermes?

All WM6.1 ROMs have SDHC capabilities :O

WOW
that was lightning fast... okay so that is the reason why they dont say it anymore because all of 6.1 version for hermes is sdhc ready... well as for the wizard we are still trying to have it made...
maybe i should read more about 6.1 version fro hermes can someone give an outline what is the difference of 6 to 6.1 about hermes?
again thanks

Most, if not all the cooked WM06 roms are also sdhc compliant. It was mainly some of the VERY early roms and WM05 that weren't. Some of the stock roms also were trouble.
Cheers...

I am just so confused now because before hermes has a lot of free space like 70 for programs and over 30 for the Programs yet now it has change and it is due to the modules that where replaced?
re- modules? maybe that is the price we have to pay for stability and for a faster response
but somewhere in the thread of ROMS M2D is not that stable for the hermes? and yet for the wizard it has more than 2 cooks that have made it working smoothly... I was just thinking it is due to the modules that eat up the resources?
another thing is the GPS... yes it has been said over and over but it cant be done with Hermes but some claims that they have did it... so what is the real score is it capable of receiving a gps connection or is it a folktale that they have indeed make it have a GPS
makes me think about the nike thread about wifi it has a module but n one has ever unlock it
IMHO

Take my word back...
after a day kareem9nba has shown that m2d and a big storage can still be a reality for Hermes users
Thanks a lot for the Roms

I added manila to your saphire with office rom..still lots of room left! Fast and stable too.

AMP?????
I's nice to have you here I dont know you have a hermes... BTW you have done a great job on the Wizard WM6 forum nice ROM and many people said that your rom is the only one that can be patched to read SDHC in a wizard... is not a trudly fact but many people can be sure of this... I think they use SD nonHC 4 GB
Real big storage can only be on Hermes I think but it would be nice if works on wizard jajajaja (dont know where does this takes memory but it would be great!!!) Joshkoss said on his kitchen forum that os.nb.payload file on the SYS folder or XIP was missing on 20931... and he said that we can use other file and it becomes A RBSN ROM I dont know if this can make it just because this file....
Ultramag told me something that is so interesant, now i Kknow that since the build 20755 all the ROM's comes with the SDHC Drivers on the reg key values ( maybe olders but I dont have any other older than that to see the reg keys)

rying new stuff
Yeah I heard that too about sdhc on AMP never had a chance to try it though
thank you if ever you have tried my ROM before... I am trying to know more about the hermes now and who knows I may concoct my own soon...

Great!!!! keep it up men!!!
If you release a Rom here i will give it a try men!!! see you later!

Max SD card capacity after installing Kavana 6.1...

Hi
i have been reading contradictory statements about the max SD card capacity that can be used with an Excalibur reflashed with Kavana 6.1.
I would love to be able to use a 16GB Micro-SD card to be able to have Wikipedia in two languages and some decent music library, would it do?

You appear to be rude for beginners with Kavana 6.1
Obviously it is quite easy to find out that only WM6.1 software is able to handle SDHC.
This does not however make it sure that the Excalibur hardware can cope with it as well.
As i wrote, i did search and found a lot of contradictory stuff.
But i am happy to acknowledge that it works, and i can buy a 16GB SDHC card in confidence.

I wasn't trying to be rude, but honest, like Stylez said before, the more threads made about the same topic , the bigger pile of them the newbs will have to go thru, only to end up making a new thread with the same topic 'cause from their not being sure what they read is accurate.
I tend to be this way 'cause when I was a new guy and to this day, I keep my threads to a minimum, I prefer to revive old threads with the topic in question than make a new one.
