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.
I purchased an 8gb Micro SD card for my HD2 but seem to be having all sorts of problems trying to get Android builds running from it!
The card is a 8GB MICRO SD HC SDHC (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230511127179) and it struggles to either load the firmware or carry on running it if it does load up.
If I then put the firmware on the 2gb card, that came with the phone, it will load up fine and continue to run without any problems. The only difference, other than size, is that the 2gb card doesn't appear to be a 'HC' card. Is it this that is causing the issue? Have I purchased a card that is too fast/too slow for the phone or shouldn't it matter?
Thanks in advance for your advice on this.
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?
Hi guys, was hoping anyone can let me know what the problem is.
My handset is a month old, but the problem was from day one. I keep getting a error that the phone says my sd card was removed without being unmounted, while the card is still in the device. i have tried the following micro sd and sdhc card all brand new card but to no avail (2Gb scandisk, 8Gb Kingston and 16Gb Kingston), this doesnt happen so much with the 2gb in.
The phone also has a new pc board installed ( cause i bricked the first time )
Any suggestions ? is this a software issue maybe ? seeing as the sd card works and reads after its been dismounted.
Thanks

Hello,
I am really scared, because I don't know what I did
Point is I own a Samsung Galaxy S2 (i9100) and a 16GB micro SD card. My phone was rooted and working fine till this morning when I decided to do more experiments. I formatted my entire phone, hoping to load the newest nightly (cyanogenmod) and 4.4.4 gapps.
But now when I put my microSD card in my adapter to format the card instead of 16GB it shows 30.6 MB in the computer and I can't access the card to copy the files.
I use a Mac 10.9.4
I want to now buy a 32 GB micro sd card and load everything on it and then flash it on the CWM I suppose. What files do I need to copy to the new micro SD card or is there a way out with the old one to make it work?
I am really confused and scared. Looking for your help.
