SDHC for Windows Mobile

Hi All,
It is being said that Windows Mobile as of date doesn't support SDHC.
Initially neither XP, Vista or Palm supported it
but now there is proper fix for XP and Vista, alongside there is a trick by which Treo recognizes SDHC.
So i am having it hard to believe that Windows Mobile doesn't have a fix or a trick.
Exeperience with my dell Laptop:
As such it says that as it is old laptop it won't support, and it initially didn't.
Then i stumbled of the XP fix (not officially released yet) my Microsoft for SDHC.
on applying the fix, my card is operating like butter on my dell.
I checked the contents of the fix to find on one '.dl' with some name like 'sd**'. Which leads me to believe it was a driver related fix.
was wondering if there is something being worked out for windows mobile as well (officially or unooficially).
thanks

RE
Are you saying that after aplying the fix to your Win XP your card reader/writer is now able to recognise SDHC card?
BTW, do you require a SDHC card reader/writer or just a simple SD card reader/writer will do the job?
Is the card reader/writer built-in to your DELL or is it an external card USB reader/writer?
What capacity SDHC card are you referring to? 8GB?
Where do you get the fix? Could you post a link?
Thanks

I bought a microSDHC™ 4GB (Sandisk) and it run perfectly with Windows Mobile 6 SE EC 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3) on my HTC TyTN (Hermes).

Hi FOSA,
Are you saying that after aplying the fix to your Win XP your card reader/writer is now able to recognise SDHC card?
Yes exactly.
BTW, do you require a SDHC card reader/writer or just a simple SD card reader/writer will do the job?
It's a simple Dell Inspiron 630m inbuilt SD Card reader.
Is the card reader/writer built-in to your DELL or is it an external card USB reader/writer?
Built-In
What capacity SDHC card are you referring to? 8GB?
4GB i have but the fix will also work for 8GB
Where do you get the fix? Could you post a link?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923293 - Description of the fix KB923293
http://thehotfixshare.net/download/index.php?dir=English/Windows XP/ - Location of the fix to download - just search for 923293, alternatively you can call microsoft and get it deirectly from them (as mentioned in description page).
Thanks[/QUOTE]

correction
The above fix is for 4GB SDHC only.
for more than 4GB SDHC use the below fix. : KB934428
cheers
And there is a similar fix for Windows CE as well in the April 2007 CE5.0 update- refer Microsoft's website.
only one missing is Windows Mobile.

SDHC update for Windows CE 5.0 is here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933809
but how to download and build it ?

Ant-125,
I reckon CE 5.0 is not same a windows Mobile 5.0.
what we need here is the fix/driver for wm 5.0/6.0

topgunarindam,
Thanks so much for your info.
I got a new laptop with built-in SD Card Reader. I installed both Windows XP and Windows Vista (dual-boot).
In WIndows Vista, it can read my 4GB Transend SD Card, which I use with my PPC. But in Windows XP, it always prompt me to reformat the card and cannot read it.
If I plug in a USD card reader, then it can read my 4GB card, just fine.
I have tried to find updated driver for the built in SD reader but found none.
After reading your post just now, I simply tried it, and guess what, it works.
Now the SD Card reader reads my 4GB SD Card perfectly and I do not need to carry the USB reader anymore.
My 4GB card is not SDHC, but this hotfix takes care of it as well. =)
Thanks again.

If this works on regular, piss old card readers, we've just caught the SDHC alliance red-handed for misleading consumers. Even if the SDHC alliance is right, tho, full 4GB support (instead of dodgy or spotty ones) is a nice addition to anything...

sandisk 4g sdhc
I just recieve my 4gb sandisk sdhc card but windows vista doesnt recognise it, it just doesnt detect anything.]
Any help please. i tried downloading the fix but it says i dont need it.

Does that particular Sandisk card come with its own reader?
And you can't use XP patches on Vista. Vista has its own set of SD-card patches...

You guys are talking about XP/Vista.
What about a solution for WM6 (CE5.2)?

WM6 since aku 0.2 have added native SDHC support. But OEM has to make some minor modifications in drivers.

so is my WM6 5.2.1413 compitable with SDHC without any mods?

SDHC
Hi all,
Laurentius and I will be releasing a new WM6 Rom, either over the weekend or early next week which will incorporate Mamaich's wonderful work on the SDHC drivers amongst other wonderfull features.
Cheers,

That will be a a big step forward... thanks in advance

Hi,
thanks so far. I would like to have first the fix for WinXP. But on that Microsoft support page (link above), there is no download link? Do I really got to write an email to them? Might someone post the fix for WinXP aswell here?
Would be cool, because my laptop will maybe be able to read the 4 GB nonSDHC from my Universal aswell....
Thanks so far,
MPW

i read that there is a driver fix !
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!

SDHC problem

Hi,
I'm running the excellent Artemis Touch 3.01 WM6 WWE ROM, 5.2.1921 SDHC which has been great - but it doesn't seem to support the 6GB Sandisk SDHC card I've just bought.
Can anyone suggest a fix? It's not recognised. Works fine in my mac via a card reader...

You will have to try and search for yourself first before posting.
There are many threads about this.
So make a search and you'll find it.
