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.

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 ?

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.

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).

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.

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?

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?
