Big volume SD card for Prophet - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development

Hi,
I know that this is an old question, but I did not manage to find a final answer.
Is it possible to use some 8 Gb SD card in a Prophet with WM 6 or WM 6.1?
Thank you in advance for the answers!

Man......
It is not about the wm version, but the physical electronic design of the card,
8GB SD card should work with our prophet (if you have) logically,
but not SDHC....

Man, how can it work? I have tried with my 4Gb SD Card (not SDHC) but it can not recognize. And with the SDHC I have tried the SDHC driver for windows mobile of pras but it can not work too.

The problem can be easily solved by filling the card by dates below the level of 2GB free space (so U have for example 2.1GB used and 1.9 free for 4gb card), only then your card will be recognized by he device. That is because prophet is not able to see more than 2gb of free space on a card.

for yours reference...
tested on 20755 ( other rom same result actually )

Well. Now it is imposibble. But let see it later.
Anyway flash under vista works now. Just let Cloudyfa's release.
It needs time. Because he doesnt use Prophet for a long time. And All of you should wait, until his friend borrow him once.

SD Card Lockups After Updating To 2003SE - Any ideas?

Hi guys,
After updating to 2003SE using easy bootloader/himaupdate.exe method my SD locks the unit after insertion or from boot. Was ok before (transcend 256Mb card) worked for last year+ till tonight.
Before I tried that method I bootloader/console dumped old rom image to the card, but ive formatted it now a few times with FAT and FAT32, no luck, still locks unit now.
Any ideas anyone?? Thanks.
Also, accessing start menu now causes a hardware style interlace looking flicker down the bottom 1/4-1/2 of the screen. Anyone???
Congrats and thanks to everyone involved with the 2003SE update, ... now if only this SD card works...
Cheers
WARNING !!!! I have tried a new 1Gb ATP SD Card and a new Kingston 512Mb SD Card and both brand new cards also lock the unit.
It would appear the 2003SE flash is incompatible with some revision hardwares and causes the SD slot to cease working correctly.
Also, the update causes the blacklight to sometimes flicker very fast, likely damaging the life of the backlight.
Be warned...
No problem
No problem .
Get the Pocket Mechanic http://www.antontomov.com

Hi,
Thankyou for the advice, however when inserting the sd card it locks the unit down hard, even with pocket mechanic ready to format, or running from boot quickly before it locks (once detects sd).
Seems the flash really killed the SD slot on my h/ware since no other reports it must be revision related at this point, bootloader can still read/detect updates on SD so its an update issue I think
The biggest problem
:arrow: The biggest problem I had with 2003SE is :
Poping up mesaage with "Need more memory" for Contacts .
I had to do the Hard Reset for a couple times .
Now I am OK .

Newbie: Help ! Please...

I have two cards (1 Go and 4 Go) and my Qtek Can't see them.
I do not know how to access.
In my Pc, no problem, but inside my Qtek , nothing !
Please Help.​
Please...
My English is it so bad as that?
Soory if, Nobody spoke Angooglo-Kligon?
I can rephrase my question:
Why can't read these cards in my StarTrek ?
I hope that my SOS is a small ear... Please !
StarTrek is not capable handling 4 Gb cards (max = 2 Gb)
The 1 Gb should work, but there are many possible reasons why it doesn't.
Start with formatting the thing and search the forum (not only Startrek) or use Google.

New 16GB MicroSDHC card I/O error

Hi Guys,
I've just got a new 16GB microSDHC card. I've formatted it in the phone through android and through recovery, I've formatted it with GParted under Ubuntu and I've formatted it under Windows 7 (Quick format).
Despite all this I'm getting an I/O error from ACast whenever I try to download a podcast and the same from Google Listen.
Also when I go to look at the contents of the card in the file manager sometimes it says the card contains the correct files and folders and sometimes it says the card is empty or only has two or so folders.
What's going on? Have I got a dud card?
I'm running Cyanogen Mod 7.0 Stable.
(I'm going to try a long format under Windows 7 now while I'm at work, but I'll check the thread again when I'm home (about 9.30pm GMT)
Cheers
Grindboy
OK a full format under windows 7 hasn't helped. Unless anyone has a suggestion I'm going to return the card for a replacement.
EDIT: Just stuck my original 2gb SD card back in and it's working perfectly so I'm gonna email for a replacement tomorrow. I must say I'm impressed that android picked up the error rather than just spazzing out!

when does the problem start? probably it damaged when you create goldcard...?...?
No. My Hero's been rooted since the 2.1 update to too long to come out. I never needed the GoldCard. I've returned the card and I'm just waiting for a replacement now.
Having the exact problem except it's too late to return my card so I need to find a way to fix it. Got a 32gb class 6 right before I traveled. When I put files/folders onto my new sd card from my old one, most (if not all) the folders end up being empty and the most files are missing from the root when I reinsert the sd to my phone or computer. Have no clue what the problem is. I attemped an A2SD as soon as I opened the box so could that've messed it up somehow? Thanks.
I was wondering about the formatting of the card as well. First thing I did ootb was format the card using recovery. I'm thinking that might have been my big mistake. Once the new card gets here I'll try it without formatting and simply using the built in apps2sd which doesn't require a ext partition.

I'm running VR13 so i had to use old skool version of A2SD. But really, does ANYONE know what in the funk is wrong with my sd
Buggeration!
The replacement 16GB card is having the same issue. Found a forum thread here which suggests getting Windows to "check and repair" the disk. Gonna try that now, give me a minute to reboot to my windows partition and run the disk check and I'll report back.
[edit] OK that didn't help
Here's the result of the disk check. It says it found and fixed some errors:

But upon trying to download a podcast the download errors out with "I/O Error".
I've emailed the merchant who supplied me with the cards (mymemory.co.uk) they are a really good company and I've used them for years so I'm certain its nothing dogdey going on. Could just be a faulty batch. I'll let you know what they suggest.

When will the external card be used for apps or even linux?

As eveyone knows you can't really install apps to the external SD card, just the internal sd card.
So then what is the use of the external sd card? to have our multimedia on it?
What I'm wondering is how far fetched it would be to have different operating systems installed to the external card so I dont have to waste my internal memory on the ubuntui hack? Would it be possible to actually boot up into these cards instead of the internal sdcard? Or somehow have windows on them like I saw people using debian (didnt read the full story, still getting ubuntu working)
I assume it will be easier when they figure out how to install apps on the external card.
EDIT: Have I missed something? Ive only been gone a few days. Can we now install apps to our external? Because all app2sd programs but them on my internal sd card.
The other cool thing I thought of is making a micro sd connector that conversts to usb with a modded back plate so you can hook up external usb drives... but thats a different post..

It is annoying that we can't use the Micro SD card for some things. Pretty much any app that lets you save to "SD card" ultimately go to the internal memory which is neither a SD card nor where I want it to go. Most apps provide no way for you to make it save to the actual Micro SD card.
******ng about that wont solve it. If you dont wanna learn and get what you want by yourselves, shut up and wait patiently.

[Q] SD card ( mini ) from 8 (7.78 ) GB to 6.4 GB

I have a Sandisk mini SD card which is 8GB (7.78 ).
When Installed Custom Rom . I tried something with CMW and formatted and partitioned it. It showing now is 6.4Gb space and 1.38GB space is missing.
I checked with DiskManagement. it showed the rest 1.38 GB space. I tried to Unmount that and now its showing 2 drive in 1 SD card.
There is no option to change that to 1 ( 8GB ) Drive.
Need Help.
Thank you,
Ravi Nazre
Edit:
Now it does not show the unmounted Space in the Diskmanagement. I am Amazed! but most important here is how to get it back to normal.

Hi beston94,
Thanks for your Help.
I tried the Panasonic SD formater. That shows 6.41 GB. I tried FULL WRITE Erase. Still the same. Now it does not show in Disk Management that there is an unallocated space. I have attached the screenshot.

I have done that. still no go.

You obviously re-partitioned the SD card to have 6.4 gb and 1.38 gb partitions. You will have to re-partition the SD card again. Formatting alone won't re-partition the card. It will just wipe what is on the main partition, which looks like the 6.4 portion.
Yeah!
So How do i re-partition the SD card again ?
What are the steps involved without using a 3rd party software ? ( If there is.. )
or Please let me know the name of the software which does that.
