While searching I came across this,(AD2SDX)http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310309&highlight=a2sd. Will this work with Photon/Electrify? I just bought a PNY 32g class 10 sdhc card and besides music, CWM backup, and a few kernel zip files I've used maybe 5%. I don't know why Motorola labeled the internal memory sdcard!

Hi,
I searched around but can't seem to find any help with why I can't flash ROMs from 32GB cards. I've tried it with a class 4 Topram card then after I returned it I tried again with a class 2 Sandisk . Everytime I load the bootscreen for it to search the root of the card for leoimg the screen just flashes and continues to bootscreen without finding the ROm file.

May I suggest you try a maximum size of 4GB microSD card and format it with FAT32.
I honestly couldn't reproduce the threads right now, but I seem to remember reading about this issue before, concerning both 8 and 16 GB cards - So it seems logical it would apply to 32 GB cards as well. I don't know whether this is related to memory addressing issues or some other limitation - FAT 32, perhaps? (please, someone enlighten us both if you know) but using a 2 or 4 GB Card prevents the problem from occuring altogether.
as above said, most 16gb cards don't work(only know one person who has said the successful y used a 16gb card) and many 8gb cards don't work, so its a safe bet that a 32 is not gonna work. 2gb seems to be the optimum size, but 4 should work too.
for me, i have a 512meg card i use on the very rare occasions i use sd.
well since I got my HD2 I've used its 16GB sandisk to flash ROMs to the phone and have never had an issue before but both 32Gb cards I've tried just don't seem to respond.
Thats rather strange.
Theoreticaly you should only be able to flash from SD cards. During booting a driver is loaded so that SD HC cards can be read by the phone.
i.e. everything non SD HC up to 4GB should work fine, everything SD HC above 4GB should not allow flashing.

My Sandisk 16GB SDHC card also works perfectly for flashing on the odd occasion that I use it for flashing that is
hmm, that is interesting, I can't flash from my sandisk 16gb, class 2. Not sure why others can.
I can flash from 8gb class2 and below though. I use a 2gb sandisk just for this purpose.
Hi Everyone,
I have recently purchased a secondhand HTC Legend,
and a new Kingston 16GB Class 4 Micro SDHC Card.
Android 2.2 Froyo is Installed
(Blayo's Froyo Rom)
(I have a 256MB MicroSD & 4GB Micro SDHC Card that I have tested and they work fine.)
When I write to the SD Card, such as take a picture or download an app from the market, the phone says "SD Card Unexpectedly Removed".
I have tried:
Reformatting the SD Card on Windows and on the Phone via Clockworkmod recovery. (My Phone is Rooted)
Scanning the SD Card via Windows Error Checking
chkdsk via command prompt
Scanning for errors via Drive Restore Pro
Buying a new Sandisk 16GB Class 4 Micro SDHC Card - Same Error.
Is there anything else that I can do?
Any advice that can be given is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
dont be a fool it seems that its the rom's fault it might not support the file system of your sd cards.Dont keep buying new ones....just go back to your stock rom
Thank you for your reply.
I flashed the stock Froyo rom, but the problem still persisted.
After some more research I found that downgrading to 2.1 can resolve the issue, so I tried it and it did.
My only question now: Is there anyway to make this work in the stock Froyo rom?
Hey guys i was wondering if there is a limit on cmw about the micro sd capacity because i am having trouble mounting my 8gb memory on it i been using a 2gb one to flash and everything because it's the spare one i have and it's working without trouble but of course i don't like changing the sd card all the time i want to flash as the back cover is starting to get kinda lose because of all the times i pull it off yesterday and that sucks.
any help appreciated.
With CMW I've used 4gb, 8gb and 32gb in my Ray and 8gb and 32gb in my x10. I don't think it's a CMW limitation unless it's a specific version of CMW that limits, but I'm thinking that's not it.
Have you formatted the 8gb card in the phone to see if that helped?
I'm wondering if there are known problems when partitioning 32GB (Class 10) microSD cards with multiple partitions?
I'm asking because I have the same problem with two 32GB cards from different vendors. I wanted to replace the 16GB Class 2 card I'm using in my HTC Desire for A2SD (M2SD to be exact) with a 32GB Class 10.
First I bought a Transcend 32GB Class 10 and partitioned it like
1. fat32 (30750MB)
2. ext3 (1000MB)
3. swap (250MB)
I had this setup running a few days when I noticed strange behaviour and sudden application crashes. In the output of dmesg I could see I/O errors when accessing the SD card. The SD card mount points where then mounted read-only (which caused the applications to crash).
I thought the card was broken and bought a new one (also 32GB Class 10) by SanDisk. I partitioned this card the same way as before and while copying backups from the first card onto the new one (on a PC) there were again I/O errors on the new card.
Either I have very bad luck or there are known problems when partitioning 32GB microSDs with multiple partitions? For the record I didn't have any problems with the old 16GB card (it had a fat32 and ext3 partition).
What's strange however is that when the 32GB card has only one fat32 partition (the default so to say) there were no errors when copying some dummy data onto it.
i don't know, but Swap degrade the SDcard.
I recently owned a HTC Desire with a 16GB MicroSD installed. After I bought my Galaxy S3 I didn't had another 16GB MicroSD card so I decided to keep it as a backup and use a 8GB MicroSD. After few weeks of usage I decided to put the 16GB card to use. I shut down my S3, popped out the 8GB card, copied it's contents to my WindowsPC, formatted the 16GB card to fat32 and copied the contents over. Started my S3 and now several tools (Android Assistent, Quick System Info) indicates that this is a 11,25 GB card with 3,3 GB left ! I shut down the S3, put the MicroSD card in my PC and it tells my is't a 14,3 GB card with 10,2 GB left. Am I missing something or did I do something wrong ?
Edit: doh, just found out that both tools are reporting the internal memory as SD-card, when I use the generic option (settings > storage) it shows the real SD card capacity..
