Problem to Fash from a 16GB SD card

Hello,
My Problem is that i can´t flash a costum Rom from SD Card.
Some Details:
- SD Card: Adata 16 GB Class 6 => Formated in Fat32
- I tested it with some custom roms and renamed all files to leoimg.nbh and put it in the root of the SD card
- I installed HSLP with no errors
- Original SD card a gave away to a friend
- The only way to flash the roms is Active Sync
I hope someone know how to solve the Problem
nobody has the same problem?

I have same kind of problem with 8GB Class 4 SD card. With original 2GB everyting runs fine. I formated 8GB SD in HD2 and same problem. HSPL just boots up but stays in 4-colored view. Seems like HSPL can't use bigger SD cards or what i'm doing wrong?

it isn't hspl it is the phone that doesn't handle large cards very well.
do you need to flash with sd card? much safer too use active sync to flash.less likely to accidentally mess up your spl

Thank you! I will follow this information in future!
But is there also known problems using larger SD for normal device usage like applications, data, images etc?

there have been some reports of problems with large cards but I think in most cases it is due to slow/fake cards.
the large cards should have no problem in general use only for flashing.

[Q] [JAN 17] [HELP] [REQUEST] NAND Android w/ EXT4 support does not support 16GB SDHC

I have tried several builds but the result is disappointing. None of them can boot when I want to use EXT4 partition for data on it with my large SDHC card (16GB)
My 8GB Class 6 microSDHC runs fine but when I want to use Class 10 16GB card, the system crashes on boot...
I think 15GB FAT32 partition (I created 1GB EXT4 partition at the end of the card) is too large to be seen during Android boot or what?
Do you think it will work when I create only 7GB FAT32 and 9GB EXT4 it will work? Or should I switch the order of partitions (EXT4 first?) (it is not good solution but good for test)
Can someone from cooks help here? Thank you very much.

Firstly, this is the wrong section. There is a Q&A section explicitly for questions like this.
Secondly, I have a 16GB card with exactly this setup (15+1) and it works perfectly. Your card is possibly defective. Grab this little program and test it.

I use a 16GB CLASS 6 SD CARD for a long time.
maybe is something wrong with ur 16GB
and never create a partition bigger than 1.5g for your EXT4
I still guess the problem is your 16gb card..

I am also using a 16GB class 6 micro SDHC with no issues so far.
My partitioning is 14+2 (FAT32+EXT4) and runs like a charm.
I agree with the others, there must be something wrong with your card.

Thank you. I will test it using the program...
THe card otherwise works correctly...no bad clusters, missing files....perhaps the Class 10 is only a advertisement and the card is too slow? (because I heard that if the card is too slow then the system may boot too long and also become unresponsive (force close or wait for main android process etc.)
SO to give a public anti-advert I will reveal that my microSDHC card is KINGSTON CLASS 10

I have the same card kingston 16Go C10 and no pb !
My advice, make your partition (after full format fat32) with CWR (swap 0)

I've been trying everything to get a NAND install using a (brand new) Kingston 16gb class but have had no luck. The same process works on my sandisk 2gb card. I posted the question earlier today for any advice.

I got same problems with my 16 gb class 10 card (adaTA).
The card is 100% error free and on winmo work superfast. Unfortunately when i try to make ext partition on this than is going to work so sloow and with errors.
I have also PQI 8gb class 6, sandisk 8gb class 2 and samsung 16gb class 2 and I have to say that ext partitioned roms work fastest on slowest sandisk!!!
What is going on?

SanDisk 32GB MicroSDHC. no problems with it.
i used gparted livedisc to format 1gb ext4 partition. works great

32 GB ok but what class?

[Q]SD Card Recognition

I had HD2 with WP7 7720 4GB SD Card
Decide and bought 16 GB SD Card
Inserted it and when started phone it stucks after 1 2 3 4 5 GO GO GO
Reinstall WP7 Yuki 7720 with 16GB in
Now phone recognize 3,47 GB instead of 14.8GB
Any Fix ?

Is your sd card recognized by a computer? If so I would reformat the card.

when i bouught it i put it in a card reader
card have been already formatted but i perform format again
after i have install wp7 now windows can see it but neither opened it, neither formatted it

Try a hard reset again and see if WP7 picks up the rest of the space on the card. Of course, use the dev_storagelock cab to free up the card and see what you can do with it on your computer.
What kind of SD card are you using? WP7 is very picky.
My first card was a Kingston 4GB class 2 and it caused high battery drain.
My second card was a Kingston 16GB class 4 and it wouldn't even boot into WP7.
I'm now using a fantastic PNY 16GB class 4.
The brand/size/class of your SD card really matters.

try this
I had no proble with my Lexar 8GB Class4; then i tried my Mustang 16GB Class10 and WP7 stated that was incompatible.....
So I decided to make a try; inserted in my PC and run SDFormatter (from Panasonic) and made a full format (i.e. format full with erase ON) .
After that WP7 accepted my SD card, and apparently it is ok....hope it lasts...

Well.
Micro SD Card HC Kingston Class 4 16GB
I think the problem is in the card.
When I try to format it with PC Windows 7 I can't normally to format it to NTFS
Only FAT32. Now trying different programs to format it, but when phone starts it freezes on logo about 10-20 minutes after that starts with error for SD Card.
Last I tryed is formatting card with Nokia E52. Leo starts wp7 normal but in Settings -> About only 50 MB free storage. I will try one2one69 what said.

Why my HD2 android won't start with my SD card?

My HTC HD2 works with my Transcend 4 GB microSD card, but it won't android won't boot up with my 8 GB Verbatim microSD card. Do I need to format it or something? Thanks!

Are you sure you have the correct set up ? (Files are copied to their destinations)
Try to format it to FAT32, and try again.

I`have just formated it to FAT32 and still the same problem. What files are you talking about?
PS: Sorry to bother you with "stupid" questions, I am pretty noob in this

I have read that Verbatim SDCards can cause problems in the build; booting or running, SanDisk is your best bet, but you may still be able to get it running,
Im not a dev; just brought SanDisk as a result of this,

It depends on many factors. Which Android Rom do you want flash, does this need Ext 3/4 Partition on the SD Card ? Do you have flashed the right partition size ? Read the installation instructions of Rom you wants to flash, there you mostly find all information.

Are you talking about NAND or SD? If NAND, make sure the ext partition is set up correctly, as this is where a lot of the apps are stored. If SD, then I would assume you know how to install an SD build so it could be a problem with the SD card being incompatible as alex.odell.2011 said.

I've had similar problems sometimes with my SD card; my HD2 wouldn't boot unless I took the card out then put it back in once it was booted. The only thing that I thought might cause it is something CWR related on the SD card, since I had used it in my Hero and Droid 1 as well to flash ROMs to them. It was a class 4 16 GB Sandisk, if that helps at all.

Hi, what class is your card ?
I have a 32Go class 4 sandisk and it works just fine, some people seem to have problems with class 2 and class 10.

I had this pb with it after using WP7, I don't know how but changing my bootloader from Maglrd to Clk made it work again on the device.

Try formatting it with SD Formatter 3.1. It solved my problems. Set the options to format type FULL(overwrite) and format size adjustment to on.
