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?

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?

Oh no, this is not good news. I thought that they would have sorted all of the card issues with the new rom...shame on HTC!
I tried the new ROM and I used the 4GB Tanscend MiniSD HC and it was working fine!!!!!!!!! No problems at all!
My 4GB SDHC was working fine with official rom until it bricked.
Now it's impossible to access it in any device.
my problem continues. hard reset and reinstall didn't help. looks like the problem is with the card.
anyone knows any SDHC USB card readers to format this pain in the neck? thx!

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.

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.
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.

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
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.

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).
