8G microSD seen as a 4G - HTC Cavalier

I recently received a Cavalier running Windows Mobile 6 build 17745.0.2.3. When I put my 8G microSD card it only sees it as a 4G card. So some of the files and directories are inaccessible. Is this something to do with my card, how I've formatted it or a known problem? Are there any fixes or is loading the 6.1 ROM the fix? I assume there are no official HTC 6.1 ROMs? I can't see any links to the official 6.0 ROM either as there are for other devices, anyone know where to find that? I always feel more comfortable upgrading the ROM to 6.1 when I know I cna fall back to the 6.0 should things not go swell.
Thanks in advance for your time ...

A wise man once told me be careful of what you know (or think you know) because it will get in the way of what you don't know ...
You are in fact quite correct. This fixed my issue. Here is the link to the file for anyone else with a similar problem. Thanks for your reply. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1766401&postcount=93
Even more news ... I bought a Sandisk 16G card and popped it in and it is seen correctly! This fix does the trick. So in summary I am on WM6 original from HTC, and have installed the above fix and the 16G card works!

WM6 and SD-HC cards

Hi there,
Has anyone tried to put a SD-HC card on a WM6 upgraded device ?
I read somewhere that they may be compatible with "some" older devices via a firmware upgrade, so..... I was wondering..... if a 8Gb card would fit my prophet ^^
Anyone has one near his hands ?
Thanks !

To my friends and who want to try....
miniSD HC (Hight Capacity) Patch
...from the last Sleuth's Hermes rom.....
I've used a "Transcend miniSD HC 4gb" w/ the original LVSW ROM v2.0.1.1 for some weeks without any problem.....but a day my card gonna broken without any reasons.....so, I'll hope that this patch resolve "this" bug.....
Please, try it!
If they works, I'll add into a future ROM release....anyway, it should work on any LVSW's WM6 based-ROM !!! (as LVSW v2.0.1.1 or AX3L v2.0.8)
Hello AX3L,
me too had same problem, with the same card.
Now i'm using a normal miniSD 4gb without any problem till 2 months.

If you have the new card reader from Sandisk that reads SDHC format cards, you might reformat your card with that.
I tried it but nothing works... Any clue ???
Rups
updated....anyways....it work ONLY on any LVSW's WM6 based rom (as LVSW v2.0.1.1 or AX3L v2.0.8)....
Please unistall previous version, softreset your device and istall the new one....
The intent is improove the stability using an SD HC card (natively supported by these roms)...
Hi,
This sounds good but how do I apply it?
Thanks.
Actually - scratch that last request but now that I have installed it I can not see my card anywhere
I get an IO Error on my PC.
Any suggestions?
hi, my MiniSDHC 4Gb has become invisible... i have used it for 3 mont, and now, i can't read it anywere, i send it back to the seller and he said that this problem has appening to other!!! he send me 2 miniSD off 2GB.
With this patch I Finaly managed to get my 4GB SDHC Card to work with the bepe ROM
I tried patch in ING 3.28 Rom , LVSW based but don't Work it in this ROM
Has anyone tried this patch on the "official beta" WM6? I have a Transcend 4GB SDHС. So far it works ok without any patches, but I don't want to run into problems later on when I have many programs on my Storage Card. Should I run this patch still?
What about this patch from HTC. Is it for WM5 only?

6 GB SDHC Card

hi,
i got a 6 gb sdhc card for my htc p3300 and i want to use it but my windows mobile 6 wont accept it i got a Artemis touch 2.1 WWE rom on it
please have some body an firmware update or a dll/cab/reg fix ???
greats antonius
As far a I know sdhc memory cards are not suported on the artemis.
It just doesnt have the hardware to support it...
Check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311839
The Heed
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????
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1534542&postcount=69
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!

Is it good? There r somethig new? Waitig for ur comments
It's basically the original T-Mobile AKU 3.3 rom complete and intact. According to the readme with the rom the SDHC.CAB is included in the windows folder and you install it manually, however when I unpacked the rom I couldn't find .cab file anywhere. I was interested in seeing which version swat4 had bundled in there.

Sry,new one update with sdhc.cab this day.
Yes ,this one is based on original rom with three DLL files replaced for SDHC support
Has anyone tried it yet?
how is your rating of this ROM?
Great ROM
I've just installed the ROM.
Startup memory from hard reset is 33MB (out of 49.70MB)! No program is running on the list.
Free storage memory is 39.23MB (out of 43.50MB) [I wrote in an empty Ext ROM].
My storage card is not shown (maybe have to turn off the SDHC option somewhere). Mine is a standard SD.
A strange thing is on the Device Information, the Flash Chip type is shown with M-Systems Instead of the previous G3 on O2 ROM.
There are T-Mobile branding at the splash and at the phone, not every where. It is easy to be fixed.

If this is the same as ROM AKU v3.3, but with SDHC support, it would not be enough to install the SDHC.cab?
Greetings.
But with this ROM, there is anyway the bug with SDHC*?
*sometime my SDHC 4GB by Sandisk is invisible

This ROM SDHC driver is the best i have seen... 100% reliable, never went missing or hayware or invisible or cannot wake up from sleep... better than the ones in cooked WM6 ROMs... but you must flash this ROM with the particular SDHC drivers built in... external SDHC.cab does not work properly...
I am using sandisk ultra II 4GB SDHC card...
would it be possiable for us to get those drivers, and attempt to use them on a different rom??

Sorry, but which ROM are you using? (Most of the recent ROM's are already supporting sdhc WITHOUT the need of additional patches).
