Hi,
I just started using an 16GB SDHC in my HTC-Panda (P6300) WM5. The SDHC was recognised inmediatelly without any patch nor driver. The memory manager also detects the SDHC and its real size. I was able to run programs, move files, etc. I copied all what I had in my previous SD card by using a backup I had in the PC.
My problem is now that I'm trying to install new programs in SDHC. Both from PC (using AS) and from PDA (Cab files) I see an error when trying to install in SDHC (it goes fine in RAM). I have also seen that free space in SDHC is not well calculated by installer (wceload).
Any idea? Are there a size limitation in wceload? Are there other loaders that can manage it?
Thanks
Hi,
I have got the setup.log file from My Device\Application Data\Volatile folder.
I have attached two of these files: the one showing the failure when installing in SDHC and another one that worked fine installing in as SD.
In the failing one it can be seen a couple of places where the word error appers as well as a stragne name for the installation path.
Any idea?

Hi,
anybody managed to install TT5 to storage card? :shock: WM5 has so little memory so TomTom5 would be nice to get on card.
I don't understand why some progs wants to go devices own memory even I say install on storage card.
On the otherhand, I haven't got it working at all. I've installed the cabs and patched 5.21 exe with the backlight hex, but the first start process exits when I have selected the language for speech. This happens with and without the hex fix.
Click on ttn.cab. It is in your 2577 folder on the SD Card. Also have a look at

I'm using a 512MB Transcend SD card for a year already and this is the first time I encountered such problem. It suddenly got its files corrupted, names are in symbols like boxes and some files claim to have 1GB of filesize. I can't remember what I did before it happened but im sure everything i was doing then is the usual thing. I didn't even remove it from my XDA. Is there any way to recover them? if none, is there any way to prevent it from occuring in the future? Please help
There is a way to recover them. Get your card into the card reader and start your undelete program (i have a great program if you want).
Seems you have Spb Pocket Plus and you have the storage card indicator active! This indicator seems to cause SD card erasings as many people (including me) tried removing the SD indicator & having no more SD wiping
If thats not true, then try to lock your SD card (the read only switch).
Cheeeers
this is the undelte program:

oh shoots :shock: i already had it reformatted. but thanks so much for the reply Ezzkht
i didn't install Spb Pocket Plus though. And i tried locking the SD card, still the same, filenames are unreadable, just boxes and lines
Sometimes Pocket Hack Master can restore the files as well.
regards, M
ravelcop, even if you've formatted the SD card, you can still recover the files (the format process does NOT erase the existing data, it just deletes the 1st sector of the media)
Try EasyRecovery Pro (from the link I've sent to you).
Best of luck :wink:
Thanks guys, il try the softwares you recommended.
I hope we could find out what are the causes of this problem so as to prevent it from occuring in the future. Spb Pocket Plus autodetection feature could be one, and it must have other causes as well since i didn't have that software in my XDA
The problem of SD card erasing is cause by having two or more processes accessing the SD card all at the same time. This will cause trouble to the SD card system driver, and hence, will crash your SD!
Thats why Pocket Plus can cause this problem; since the SD card indicator checks the free space of the SD card every X interval, which could occur while having another process accessing the same SD card. :roll:
how to view
I had a sd card that was corrupt as well and I downloaded the file and it said it recovered 64 files. It said your files were recovered successfully. I saved the files in the directory and I can see them there but I can not view them to change them back to a jpeg file. Can someone help?
hi tia,
how did you download the file? i tried clicking that link but i get a page error. i think the link is broken. could you post the file here instead? i'll try to use it and maybe i could help you afterwards. thanks
HI.. m Oicnev.. this is regarding extracting the files from the EXE rom.. have download both the 131 and 132 (a later version, as told), but couldn't extract the files.
Have tried using winrar and winzip, but to no avail.. tried right-clicking, but no option to extract, only add to archive.. tried accessing from within winrar. there was the option to extract, but it always returned, no archive file/s in there..
tried running the EXE rom, it ran, posted extracting files, and the showed its dialog box.. then, as told, it returned an error in the end..
i used netants as downloader..
is there anything i further need to do to be able to extract the files? Is there any other way i could get the files? PLS HELP!!!
ALSO, i bought a 4gig SD Card.. the problem is my xda mini couldn't access it, unless, as it prompted, it formats it "to make it readable." This i did, and yes it became readable, but it got converted to 2.1gig. i returned it to the seller, had it replaced, thank goodness the seller was kind.. but now, i don't know what to do.. the SD Card is accessible as 4gig from my card reader though... will the rom upgrade fix the problem? Is there any other software that i need to have? PLS HELP!!!
MANY MANY THANKS, in advance!
You used one of the ROMs from this site's FTP right? I've tried several and all of them extract just fine! If you're looking for the latest ROM that is used widely without any problems, 1.13 T-Mobile ROM, that can be found here.
From there you can use kta's + ampda's guides or my own guide to run you through the upgrade process!
Thanks... only that... Stil problem - 4gig SD Card vs. Mini
Ey, know what, i finally solved my puzzle re EXE ROM.. have managed to extract the files... i tried running the EXE file, clicking next til the last one before it would start to upgrade, but without clicking it (i read from one of your guides).. then i searched for the files in my hidden windows temp folders... found them.. and ran the upgrade.. It went perfectly, i liked it..
But my BIG other problem remained.. still, my XDA Mini couldn't access my 4gig SD Card, despite all the upgrades.. it was still prompting me to format it (beccause it couldn't read it), which must not be done, coz it will convert it to 2.1gig.
I read in one forum to try partitioning the SD Card into two 2gig partitions.. i found it sound.. i followed the instructions.. i ran "compmgmt.msc" from my pc through "start/run".. I was trying to make the first step of deleting the partition through 'Disk Management', but to no avail.. Yes, there was a 'delete partition' option shown in the menus, but unlit; meaning option not available.. So, i was already stalled, couldn't proceed anymore...
Anyone with more options out there? please help...
Many thanks
Your device formatted the memory card as FAT16. This is only supported up to 2 GB:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table#Final_FAT16
Just format the memory card with your card reader as "FAT32" and you will have 4 GB capacity.
RE FAT16
Hi... i checked through my card reader.. its in fat32 format...
@esackbauer,
are you sure the fat16 fat32 topic is the answer to the problems with 4 gig cards? to mee, it doesnt seem so!
see:

My friend just got TOPRAM 2GB miniSD and we try to setup his Wizard.
When I want to format (using card reader) this miniSD, should I choose FAT or FAT32 ?
Also is it possible to format card in Wizard itself and how ?
Thanks

software to format your card in your wizard
You can also access your storage card thru my computer. it will show up as a device with removable storage. use wm5torage.
You can use either FAT or FAT32, it doesn't matter. The wizard can read both of them. I always format my cards in a card reader because wizards sometimes have a problem seeing unformatted cards and you wont be able to access your card at all. To format format the card I always go through disk management in computer management under administrative tools in the control panel. If I remember right, if you just right click on the card in the card reader and then click on format it only gives you the option of FAT where disk management will give you the FAT32 option as well.
The reason I was asking is because I was able to format miniSD in card reader both FAT and FAT32 and put some data (CABs) to it using "My Computer", but ... when I try to install some CABs from that miniSD ... it just hangs.
So I was thinking ... may be it is because of wrong format. Now I believe that problem is in miniSD itself, because I was able to install same CABs from my other card.
You might try reformatting in FAT and see how that works. I've tried both on mine and there never seems to be much of a noticable difference. I've read that it might make a difference on older ROM versions. It deffinitely can't hurt anything to convert it to FAT and try again before giving up on the card.
I tried both FAT and FAT32 on BOTH cards. They all failed, both in very strange way ... I was able to read/write to the card using "My Computer". I was able to see files using Wizard "Explorer", but when I click CAB installation will start and then hang. Or one CAB will install, but second will hang.
Unpredictable
Both cards are miniSD 2GB from TopRam, from eBay power seller.
I'm not sure what you mean. Are you putting the cab files on your card and then installing them from there or are you putting the cab files in the \windows\start menu\programs and and then when they install you're choosing to have them install to the card and then they are failing? If it's the first one I mentioned, that might be the problem right there. I'm not so sure that SD cards are really made to be read from and written to at the same time and putting the cab files in the \windows\start menu\programs folder and installig from there would solve that issue. If it's the second one I mentioned, it might just be the programs that you're installing. I've had issues with several programs that when I tried to install them to my card they hung up and ended up actually corrupting my card. The fact that you have 2 cards doing the exact same thing makes me think that it may not be the cards that are at fault.

Im just guessing that you are using a ROM which uses mUn's latest 5.2.1413 as base. If that is the case, heres what i reccomend. Go back to a previous ROM which maybe uses mUn's previous release or farias rom as a base.
Why u ask? I have noticed that with ROM ver .1413, i either lose or see corrupt info on the SD card which on first boot is readable for a few minutes/seconds, but after i change the OS to say core 2.0 fior example, everything is back to normal on my SDcard.
I noticed this because just as u, i was trying to install some cabs off the card, the first was successful and the others just did nothing, on closer scrutiniy (tried playing songs stored on SD) i noticed that some files were missing and others corrupt.
just my advice, hope it works for u...
P.S. Everything was back to normal (all info was fine on SD) after going back to a previous version of OS
Hello,
I continuously get error during apps setup just after click on the cab file (downloaded directly on the pda). I tried starting setup from phone or from SD with the same result.
When is possible to download exe file I tried that and all worked well even if installing the cab file got error.
One of the app I tried is google maps downloadable from m.google.com/maps.
Any idea?
Tried also after hard reset and no improvements
it seems errors regards loading cab/exe files from SD card
If I move files to phone then I'm able to load that
any help?
Tried also different SD cards (2GB and 4GB) and FAT or FAT32 formattings.
No differences...
Found the problem? OPERA BUG???
Hey all posts are mine???
I saw that if I download googlemaps.cab file directly from opera mobile (on HD2) and save it on the SD or PDA I'm not able to install it. I get error installing file.
If I download googlemaps.cab from PC and then transfer it to SD card (through ActiveSync or as disk) install goes well.
If I download file from integrated version of Internet Explorer and save it on SD or PDA all goes well and I can install application without any problem.
Did I found a bug in OPERA MOBILE?
If no one answer this post I'll open another one with a different title.
