HELP ... Schap's WM6 Pro 4.31 SD CARD Issue

Have just successfully updated to my very first ROM ! Yay me !
MR Vanx's instructions worked a treat.
I have a small problem since the upgrade and I am hoping someone can help me please ?
I can't see my storage card anymore. It worked 100% error free in WM5. I did the upgrade to the ROM without the card in the phone so as to make sure I didn't loose anything. Now I can't see it !
HELP Someone.
Dave

Same here, it happened to me too. I went back to my official Orange WM5 rom, and then moved up to PAY's WM6.1 rom. So that makes two people who had SD card trouble with Schap's WM6 4.31 !!!

PS. Tried my card in my friends phone (same as mine) who is running 3.30c and it worked fine. Guess it must be something in 4.31 ?

I ran 4.31 with both a 2gb and an 8gb microSD/microSDHC card without problems with tons of apps installed on the cards.

Well its been an issue with some people and not with others. There is a whole long thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1908699#post1908699
I get problems with Schap's 4.31 and not with any other ROM so atleast for me that ROM is the problem.

I tried with a lot of different sd cards (1gb till 6gb) without any problem on 4.31. Do you have extended rom visible? If yes, your card could be not visible. Try also to add a "My Document" directory on the card. Do not ask me why but it can help. And... but i suppose you tried already: soft reset after installing the card.
My 2 cents

Done all what you've said and much more to the point of buying various cards of different make, but nothing works !!!

I have been running 4.31 for awhile and haven't seen any problems.
You mentioned that you took the card out while flashing. Have you tried to flash again with the card in? It shouldn't have any effect to the data on the card. Of course now that i've said that, it will probably wipe it clean, so you better back it up(usb card reader works great)
You could also try wm5torage, it's a long shot, but maybe it would wake something up.
Good luck anyways.

I had this problem once. Check to see if there is a 'Storage Card' directory present when the card is out of your phone. If there is one, when the card is inserted it creates a "Storage Card2" directory that does not work properly with windows.
Eject the card and remove the directory. Soft reset and try again.

Thanks for the input guys. Very impressed with the fast response.
I have tried a couple of things suggested already and the others have made no difference.
Not a problem. I think i will just flash a different version of the Schaps ROM for now and see how I get on.

Well, for those interested I flashed 3.30c and still had the same issue. My friends card worked in my phone and mine in his. I backed my card up using my pc and a card reader. I re-formatted th card and the phone then saw it !!
I did however notice that it was a little flaky but found if I pushed the card up slightly using my finger nail on the back side the contacts made better connection and it stayed.
Then came my moment of pure and utter genius ... I decided to try to bend the card slightly to get the cards contacts to make better connection.
Thats right you read correctly, I bent the card, in fact what actually happened was that I snapped the card !! DOH !!!!
Oh well. Guess I am in the market for a new card.
Is 2GB my limit or can 4GB work ?

I hate it when that happens.
Anyway, WM5 = SD card = 2 gig per the spec
WM6 = SDHC card = 32 gig per the spec
I've got a 4 gig in mine, working fine, phone sees the entire card

Thanks for the info and for not laughing at my stupidity !
Appreciate it.

If I had laughed, it would have been in sympathy, as well as at myself. I've done boneheaded things such as that before!

What formatt is the sd card? FAT32, FAT??

I formatted it FAT.
I just feel so silly for doing something so stupid !

Just popped in my new 6gb SDHC card and it is working sweet as a nut.
Sandisk one btw.

My Hermes is not accepting the ROM upgrade through MicroSD !!

Before when I had the MicroSD (2GB) on my Hermes I was using it to upgrade any O.S/Radio ROM directly without the P.C, but now after changing it to the (8GB) one (same brand -Sandisk-) I'm unable to do the same procedure, although nothing has been changed except the MicroSD capacity (8GB insted of 2GB)!!
Is there anyway to fix that?

the official Max. SD ccard for Hermes is 1 GB, and the experts on this website said the 2 GB card can be accepted also on Hermes...
I hope I'm wrong

The (8GB) I'm having is working fine and very well on the Hermes for the Programs, Camera, Games, etc..., but the only thing which is not working is the upgrade procedure only !!??

so, why dont you use the 2gb to upgrade with? I've got 3 sd cards 256/512 and my 2gb. use the smaller cards to flash with and the larger as my "working" memory. It maybe the os has sdhc support but not sure if the hermes does itself considering you are pretty much reformatting memory and re-installing an os. Might be that there is a certain size you can't go ove rwhen re-flashing. Just a though.... Cheers..

is it fat32 formatted? because that's what u have to use for the formatting method that may be your problem

it is because the SDHC is not compatible from bootloader as it does not use the necessary drivers from the OS.

Yep, I've already done that, but it seems the problem is from the Bootloader as (miffymiffy) said. But in this case how can we solve it? Is it by upgrading the Bootloader, or what?

as far as i know you cant solve this problem SDHC is only supported in ROM
maybe one day someone will add it to Bootloader but for now just use the 2gb card..

Will Fat format also work? or will only Fat32 work for bootloader?
thanks in advance.

The Bootloader can only accept the FAT32 format.

They are talking about flashing from SDHC. 8Gb doesn't have problem for other purpose.

Help Me How To Install New Rom Without Pc

thanks in advance

First off, please don't cross post. You posted the same question in two different threads.
Second, your question is answered in the wiki. I know this for a fact as I added the link to it from the main Hermes page (and just updated it not long ago).
Go read it and if you have a question about the procedure, then ask.

the reason it won't flash is that SDHC isn't compatible with the hermes without installing windows mobile 6 (early versions didnt work) or 6.1, and bootloader mode (used to flash from sd card) is out of the windows 6/6.1 operating system (which is used to read the card) so this is why the card cannot be read,
Similarly windows mobile 5 doesnt ready cards over 2gb as they are SDHC
hope this helps and you understand my explanation

8gb sdhc problems

i just got a new sdhc card from microcenter 8gb. when i downloaded the sdhc program and installed it on my phone everything worked fine. the only thing was the card registered in the memory manager only 3.6 gb on the motorola q (my phone). i disregarded it and used a usb card reader to sync my library from windows media player on the computer. when i put the card back in the q, and updated the library, it only showed about 20% of what the computers says is on the card. when i went to the file manager, i could see all of the artists though but with no songs inside the folder. i found one song that i cant see in media player on the phone and tried to play it from file manager but it says critical error: cannot play item due to low or failing memory. ive tried resetting multiple times. this cannot be normal but can someone give me something to try or is anyone else having these problems

Here are 2 basic MS KB that will address windows issue
These two KB's may address your Windows issue, hince, could ultimately fix your phone issue; Requires that a patch be downloaded from microsoft, Microsoft KB923293 to use SDHC in a built-in SD slot for laptop/desktops. If you go with a card over 4gb, you will need Microsoft KB934428 (XP doesnt recognize over 4gb of SDHC).

im trying to run an sdhc card on my phone not my computer. so if you have a 'kb' for that tell me but i doubt it
i have windows mobile 5.0 on a moto q

Help Me!

anyone having probelms with the tilt and patriot micro sd 8gb cards? is patriot a good and reliable brand?

Maximum memory?

Whats the maximum memory you have used on your artemis? I currently use 4gb micro sdhc without problem, but I wan't to buy 8gb or 16gb. Just want to ask first if yoou guys have used 8-16gb or even 3gb?
I am using WM6 and the micro sdhc patch.
Thank you

I tried 8 which didn't work

8 gig works fine and I use it extensively to copy data from work to home.
It works so well that I never think about it.
I THINK we can go to 32 gigs now?

8gb Sandisk micro sdhc works fine on mda compact III.

When you change the MicroSD card you have to take the battery out.
Does this hard reset the device?
Thanks in advance

No it doesn't.

you need a sdgc enabled (cooked) rom to use sdhc cards. Official firmware doesn't support those cards. If thats the case all sdhc cards should work. I have a 8 gig caard. Soon 16 GB, 32 does not exist yet.

I have the original WM5 O2 UK Rom on this one.
I dont really need a lot of space, just a bitmore than the 256 I have at the moment, so 1GB or 2GB standard MicroSD will do fine.
Thanks for all your help.

I also have an 8GB SDHC Card and it works fine. But only with the SDHC-Driver.

Kingston SDHC 4Gb and Transcend SDHC 8Gb class 6 work fine both...

Hi,
i have bought a 4Go micro SDHC card which does not work native, i downloaded the artemis sdhc cab file and 2 dll's to replace to make the phone to recognise it, but i can't change those dll's (sdbus.dll and sdmemory.dll), the phone tells me it's locked...
Can anyone tell me how to unlock it ?
thanks !
jc
Note : i use WM5

To all people of this topic saying that it works fine for them with more than 2 Go : Did you follow this topic :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344338&highlight=SDHC
and did you have to replace those 2 dll's ? And no 'read only' problem ?

ok, thank you for all you answers
A last question, when using the soft reboot mode, i get a red/green/bleu screen, my pc recognise there is something but i can't browse the phone, i'd like to use this mode to replace my dll's... any idea ?

I have the same problem. I bought myself an 8gb SDHC card, not knowing that my device wouldnt recognize it.
Has anyone, yet, found a way to run sdhc on the HTC Wizard? I saw a lot of comments that this isnt a hardware problem, but software, and still none of them saying an exact way to do it, or if its impossible. ...
I`m using the MSD WM6.5 Rom
;
someone said that one of the ways to enable sdhc on ur device is to install a rom that supports it - is there one for the wiza?

i've found the problem.
It is "hardware" thing, probably sdhc are bigger by ~ 0,5 mm and you must try couple of times to put card the right way.
By the way, you also need Artemis sdhc driver (cab file).
