4 GB Top Ram SD working fine in mine SPV M600.

I bought this one
http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=&products_id=102082
where did you buy yours from?

I bought one of those too, make sure they didn't send you an SDHC one or it definitely won't work.

My Hermes is not accepting the ROM upgrade through MicroSD !!

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.

They are talking about flashing from SDHC. 8Gb doesn't have problem for other purpose.

Help Me How To Install New Rom Without Pc

thanks in advance

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

Maximum memory?

Whats the maximum memory you have used on your artemis? I currently use 4gb micro sdhc without problem, but I wan't to buy 8gb or 16gb. Just want to ask first if yoou guys have used 8-16gb or even 3gb?
I am using WM6 and the micro sdhc patch.
Thank you

I tried 8 which didn't work

8 gig works fine and I use it extensively to copy data from work to home.
It works so well that I never think about it.
I THINK we can go to 32 gigs now?

8gb Sandisk micro sdhc works fine on mda compact III.

When you change the MicroSD card you have to take the battery out.
Does this hard reset the device?
Thanks in advance

No it doesn't.

you need a sdgc enabled (cooked) rom to use sdhc cards. Official firmware doesn't support those cards. If thats the case all sdhc cards should work. I have a 8 gig caard. Soon 16 GB, 32 does not exist yet.

I have the original WM5 O2 UK Rom on this one.
I dont really need a lot of space, just a bitmore than the 256 I have at the moment, so 1GB or 2GB standard MicroSD will do fine.
Thanks for all your help.

I also have an 8GB SDHC Card and it works fine. But only with the SDHC-Driver.

Kingston SDHC 4Gb and Transcend SDHC 8Gb class 6 work fine both...

Hi,
i have bought a 4Go micro SDHC card which does not work native, i downloaded the artemis sdhc cab file and 2 dll's to replace to make the phone to recognise it, but i can't change those dll's (sdbus.dll and sdmemory.dll), the phone tells me it's locked...
Can anyone tell me how to unlock it ?
thanks !
jc
Note : i use WM5

To all people of this topic saying that it works fine for them with more than 2 Go : Did you follow this topic :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344338&highlight=SDHC
and did you have to replace those 2 dll's ? And no 'read only' problem ?

ok, thank you for all you answers
A last question, when using the soft reboot mode, i get a red/green/bleu screen, my pc recognise there is something but i can't browse the phone, i'd like to use this mode to replace my dll's... any idea ?

HELP! micro SDCH does not work!

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?

64 GB is not quite supported but can be made to work... -- my 64 GB Sandisk was formatted with ExFAT file system, which works fine with newer versions of Android JellyBean but not earlier. You may have to reformat as FAT to get it to work.
Do some searching on this topic, you'll find more information.

64 GB is not officially supported but works flawlessly in reality. Just format the card and you're good to go. I use a 64 GB card too.

Same here :good:

A whopping Class 10 64GB card from Kingston worked for me here!

There are lots of posts saying they work fine ,as mine is doing. Try looking,google
From box 13......

Threads with rich and objective information like this are always great to read.
Thank you, guys!

I have a class 10, 32 GB but I think that I'm going to buy a 64 GB

I ordered one from Amazon which I should get tomorrow.
Now I have a Samsung class 10 32GB which I am gonna mount in my girlfriend's Ace.
So, if I did understand, I only have to format from the phone and I should be ready to go. Is it right?

Yes.

OK. I give you a thanks.
I've got it right now from my mail box and I'm transferring all my data from the 32GB one.
My Note recognized the 64 GB immediately.

Yeah, I could connect 2 of my 64 GB pendrives.

In my opinion, it is always a good idea to "re-quickformat" a microSD card after purchasing, and BEFORE you mount it in the device preferred. It gives the chance to the circuit to be "revived", and this is much better done through a computer, than a smartphone or tablet.
My SanDisk 64GB microSD arrived with exFAT file sytem and an 128K cluster size, which is the default by the factory. I re-quickformatted it with the same factory parameters, as those were suitable for my needs.
Let us note that with bigger cluster size, comes better performance with the expense of more wasted (slack) space.
The reverse applies to smaller cluster sizes, of course.
It's a good thing that the newest Jelly Bean Roms (I use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970626) DO support exFAT!
