I've read that flashing with sd card it should be 2gb or smaller.
Would it be ok if I used a 4gb card and partitioned it in half so there were 2x2gb partitions?
4Gb SD card is SDHC compliant. Maybe update not work with old firmware on your mobile device. It`s safer to use old SD card less then 2Gb, because then is SD compliant (not SDHC).
SDHC cards require an SDHC capable device firmware.

When it says 2Gb or less it MEANS 2Gb or less.... No exceptions....

I've come across a little SD recovery app for 4GB cards that were partitioned for 2GB.
This is a transcend app, and they state its only for their X150 SD card, but i don't think there should be a problem recovering other cards.
I don't think there's any difference from other SDs.
(I haven't tried this cause i dont have a 4GB card, i just wanted to bring this to your attention...)
Try it out and report the results..

hi
i just bought a new 2GB Transcend MicroSD Card
with mini sd adapter.
but the wizard doesnt read the card
(fat32 formated)
if i try the card in a cardreader its working ,
my old 512mb mini sd card working is working in my wizard..
any solution?
XTRANGE...
Try to use a ROM that contains the app format storage and try to formatt... but i think it may recognize it first... nothing to lose if try... or reformatt it on a XP built in with card reader.
Panasonic makes a free sd formatting software that it claims to strictly adhere to the sd standard:

You could give it a shot, don't see how it could hurt
Hi,
i have a new sandisk 2GB microSD card in my hermes. Because i have no card reader for my pc i want to format the card in my hermes.
Is it possible to do so? I cant found any option for formating.
The hermes says in settings >> memory that no card is installed.
I thing it is because the card is unformated.
I do so, but there is no storage card.
The mobile device also says that there is no storage card.
I know that Resco File explorer can format the card but most cards are formatted fat by default. The Hermes at least recognises this. If you're not even getting the sd card recognised then there may be either a problem with the card or with the Hermes.
It would be best to just fork over a few bucks and get a card reader for the pc as if the pc is recognising the sd card that means that the Hermes may have a problem. Try formatting FAT32 anywaty then put back into Hermes. May work.
If the pc doesn't recognise the sd card, does happen that new cards go bang, then I'd suggest taking the card back and getting a new one.
Cheers...
8gB micro SD
Hello,
I have the same problem. My 1gB card works fine in my Hermes but the new 8gB is not recognized. Spec says phone can only take maximum of 2gB but other forums say can use 32gB. My latest clue is that the card was preformatted with FAT32 and the Hermes requires FAT. However FAT can only deal with Volumes up to 4gB. So I stumped.
If you read a bit further you'd realise that these people with 32 Gb cards run custom roms which have the patch applied...
There is a cab file running around that allows you to run sdhc cards on WM 5/6 but I can't remember what its called (try sdhc patch in search)...
Hello all
i have been told that the Snap can handle 2 GB MicroSD maximum?
could you please confirm that since i am buying MicroSD.
Thanks in Advance, great forum
I use a 8 GB San Disk Mobile Ultra MicroSD HC at the moment. No problem!
I believe its up to 8GB, but if it supports SDHC (4+ GB) then it should be able to support 16GB if u find one...

hey dude i'm using a microsd hc toshiba 4gb but i cant seem to locate it.. seems like it isn;t compatiable?
Backup All the Data on the card (to PC or similar) and use the format tool on the phone. If anything format the SD card on the PC...
Im more than postitive a 16GB (and anything below) card will work. The phone has specifications for SDHC, which is a "Standard". This standard is meant to work with ALL certified MicroSDHC cards (SD Cards over 4GB are SDCH which is backwards compatible with all regular SD Cards 4GB and below).
Your Toshiba 4GB irwinlee could be locked to a specific device, or improperly formatted.
what is the size of sd card that a o2 xda himalaya running windows mobile 6.1 to 6.5 can take. i have a 4GB sandisk ultra 15MB/S SDHC MEMORY CARD that does no get recognized when i insert it.
are there any workarounds or is it a certain way of formating it or just a hardware problem?
himalaya only run sd cards anything over 2GB are sdhc
I am using a transcend 4 gb sd card ( not sdhc ) which I bought of e bay last year.Also works in Alpine and Blue Angel
it also supports 4 GB card but sd card as per all above post
if u can't able to detect it then just clean out the contacts of the card & also clean the inner contacts in himalaya with clean paper...
