Does your wm6 work well with a 4G mini sdhc???

hello everyone
i'm using a 4gb sandisk mini sdhc with my trinity, and the rom is "v3.00.07.09 PDAVIET". there are lots of problem on this combination, the biggest one is that i cannot find anything after i open a folder!!!(for example, clike storage card->progame files-> you find nothing there!!! but after one soft reset, the system runs well in about 10-20 minutes, then same problem again.)
is this a bug of the rom? or does the problem comes from this sdhc card? anybody know how to fix it? thanks

Hi there... I've got the same problem with all the wm6 "flavours" I've tested so far.
I've narrowed the problem down (in my case) to the way the device was being powered down... If I just let it by itself so that it powers down own its own when I power it back on everything is OK with the memory stick. All the folders and their contents are there.
In the other hand, if I press the power button so that the device powers down (what I usually do to save battery switching off the screen etc and keeping the phone functions on) whenever I power it back on all the memory card contents are either gone (can't see them on the file manager) or otherwise corrupt, showing as garbled characters sometimes or just showing empty folders.
As for now I'm waiting for Mun's next ROM to give wm6 another try... but if the problem persist I'll have to stick to WM5 (sadly missing the HTC Home Plugging which is wm6 only).
Best,
M Addario

what language do u use in your wm6?
i just find that, a english rom without any other language plug-in, the rom will be stable with this 4gb sdhc. hope this can help u 2. cheers.

Hello, i use a Transcend 4GB SDHC (class 2) card and have no problems at all with ax3l wm6 rom 2.0.8
under wm5 the card didnot work correctly

My Transcend 4GB SDHC works fine too.

i'm just testing 4gb Transcend classe4 SDHC an no problem

I'm using Sandisk MiniSDHC 4 Gb and tested many WM5-6 roms.
Every rom worked properly with the card.

some software make system unstable.
hi everyone, i just find where the problem comes. some software, like ce-star(this software enable your system display asian language) can make rom unstable. the problem will go as long as you uninstall that software!

ok, I've the solution, strange, but thrue.
I buyed yesterday a beautyfull, new minisd "4Gb", mounted it, and I discovered that if I run mtty with the 4Gb minisd into device, all blocks are bad
the rom wasn't updated into device if I flash one...
without minisd mtty give me all blocks ok, and flashing other rom, it will be uploaded into device...
ok, this is my cas, good also if someone have same problem, but my question now is, why with last 2Gb minisd this problem didn't present???
I flashed hundreds of rom with minisd iside and all ok...
my my new good, beautifull minisd 4Gb I spent a lot of time today to understand why all block were bad, this is the answer...
bye!
but the question still rests... why whit 2Gb sd all is ok, and with the 4Gb one not?!?!?!?

could this be part of the problem with ppl not being able to flash new radios to their device?

*sorry double post*

4Gb SD card MUST be a SDHC card, and these run on FAT32.... i think that might cause all problems...

It didn't surprise me. To read files from the SD card, you need a hardware "driver" to communicate to the hardware and to understand the layout of the card, both physically - the SD/SDHC format; and logically, the file system on the card.
Remember, there is a distinction between the OS and the firmware - what an OS can do DOESN'T necessary mean that what a firmware can do, vice versa. Think it as the BIOS of your computer against your installed OS.
In this case, your WM6 can read SDHC because there's a SDHC driver in the OS. When you are doing an flash, all the vital functions that are needed are provided by SPL. If the SPL don't have the necessary "driver" - to read the SDHC, it will naturally bails out of the operations.
It's by design and is more or less expected. Period. Unless HTC is going to "update" their SPL to support SDHC as well, but who knows.

ok, good answer!!
I know now...

I suffered the problem of bad blocks you mention with a defective 4GB mini SD (TopRam) and reported it in Pof's thread (unlock) two months ago. I was about throwing one SPV M700 out of the window. Hopefully, I removed the card at the last minute. The result was the same as you describe: no way to flash a new ROM. Partial flash seemed to work but then I realized the previous version was still there. Wen trying to flash the OS section in the rom, the Trini faded off.
I have had recently had another problem trying to update Radio Rom with no success (no mini SD and no SIM this time). I had Olipro's Spl v1.3. I installed Olipr's Spl v1.2 back (with SSPL) and could upgrade the Radio Rom.

I can confirm this.
My touchpad did not response correct so i decide to go back to the offical HTC ROM. The flashprocess finished at 100% with no error. After a reboot i can see that he radio was not updated.
After i go back to Hard-Spl 1.20 the radio rom i can flash the radio and the trinity accept it.

for sd flashing, I think is not possible until now. I didn't see anywhere something about this.

Becareful with the upgrade process, as you have to upagrade the OS in a SPECIFIC order or you will screw up the pda - also, I believe in order to flash from the SD card, you simply enter bootloader mode and insert the sd card with the rom file on it - might take more than that however... dig through the hx2000 wm6 thread and you'll find most of your answers.

HTC P3300 WM6 .. Need help with 4 GB Card

Hi,
I recently bought a P3300 Artemis and it came with Win Mobile 6
Can someone tell me How Do I check to find the ROM version for this ?
I tried putting up a 4 GB Card in this but It didn't recognize the card. I did a google and it showed some links to posts in this site only
After reading two or three posts I found there is supposedly a zip file
SDHC-Artemis.cab that I have to install on my PocketPC
Now I want to know, before installing, Will it work for sure ?
and whether I need to install it over and over again every time I do a Soft Reset ?
Also, Will it support 8 GB Card since many of the ppl that have tested it are with iPaq or some other brand .. I couldn't find anyone with a P3300 with working (Read/Write) on 4/8 GB cards
Please help
Thanks

Nope, only after each hard reset (two soft keys and the soft reset) or when you flash a new rom.
Just install the cab, soft reset and your memory card should be good to go.
your artemis will then support any microsd card be it SDHC or normal cards (those less than 2gb don't use the High Capacity format that SDHC uses...any card of 4gb or greater uses sdhc) Therefore, you can run 8 or even 16gb microsd cards.

yes it will work, and no you don't have to install it every time you do a soft reset.
You can compare a soft reset with rebooting your computer. SDHC-artemis.cab is a driver. When you reboot your computer you don't have to reinstall it. If you do a hard reset (compare that with reformatting your hard disk and reinstalling windows on a pc), you will have to reinstall the sdhc driver (as you would have to reinstall a driver for a videocard after reinstalling windows).
I hope this analogy makes things a bit clearer for you.

No, You need to install it only once. Only hard-reset and rom flash will erase it.

Again, You have to try, to be sure, in my opinion, it will work.

Heh, three replyes at once

HELP! micro SDCH does not work!

Hi there.
I'm having a very strange problem and could not solve it so far.
I have a T-mobile MDA III. When I wanted to install a new 4GB micro SDHC, I downloaded the patch, ran it on my MDA, rebooted, inserted the memory and it all worked perfectly.
Then I got an HTC P3300 (for spare) and wanted to do the same. Installed the patch, rebooted, inserted the memory... but the phone does not recognise it.
I than ran the "go back", rebooted, inserted the old 2GB memory but now the phone no longer recognises it.
So, the MDA works ok with 4GB memory.
P3300 does not recognise 4GB memory and after "going back" does not recognise 2GB memory.
Without memory the P3300 is pretty much useless.
Can anyone please shed some light on this, please....
Thanks.

This is precisely where I got the .cab's.
And in my MDA everything works fine.
On the P3300 the 4GB memory is not recognised.
And after installing 'back2original', no memory at all is reconised, not even the 2 GB microSD (not SDHC) that I used before.
One more detail:
on MDA I have WM6
on P3300 I have WM5
Is there something specific to WM5 to teawk about?
Thanks.

my advice is to try flashing to a differant rom..
with a few roms i too have not been able to access my memory card..
just flash to something else
click on my signature for Uspl 1.11.cmon
youl need that to flash roms

Yeah, I fear that's the only solution.
(btw, why old 2Gb sd cannot be accessed? what happened?)
I've been looking for the official WM6 rom from HTC but it no longer is on the site. Where can I find it?

PS - Links to originals are broken, like a number of others.

Have you tried reading the card on the PC? See how it's partitioned and what kind of partition it is. Usually, you should use FAT.
I had this issue before (on my Polaris) and a format helped.

The microSDHC was (is) formated FAT32 with only one partition. On the PC it worked fine.
Anyway, I flashed a ROM (could not find HTC original WM6 though...), applied the patch and now the 4Gb micro SDHC is working.
Still, I could not explain why, in the first try, the old 2Gb microSD stopped working.

I recon it's working now?
