As far as I know this is not possible as the 4GB are not a "disk" but only memory chips soldered on the Diamond mainboard. Unless you are going to replace the chips with some higher capacity ones you will need to stick with 4GB.
Would be nice, but I think probably impossible.
A friend told me he has managed to get the diamond to work as a USB host for an external drive, which could give you more storage, but would probably be a huge amount of work,
So what MoviNAND chip has the Diamond inside? I think that's the first point to start thinking about upgrding it!
if you get an 8gb movinand chip (because of pkg-size no 16gb possible), this shouldn't be a problem. same architecture, voltage, pinning...
i can do this at work with an ir-rework-station
here you can take a look of available movinand (bottom -> table): Samsung moviNAND

Hi people
Does any one know about a USB driver for the S100, That alow us to access
a pen, or a mini usb harddisk,or for that matter any PC withoutActiveSync,I know that there are some software like on Dejepocketpc, but there is nothing especific for the jam. did anyone try this software, or something alike? every one is crazy about the bigest sd they can get, hell i want a 40GB DISK to put in my pocket :twisted: ! any remarks?
Hi jonycarlos,
according to everything I read on this topi c (and this was a lot :wink, this won't work because our little Magician doesn't support USB host mode (which is needed to access USB storage devices).
If you search for "USB Host" in this forum, you'll get more info.
HTH,
BGK
Maybe if you get a bluetooth disk that supports the FTP profile...
Toshiba HopBit
This portable, Bluetooth HDD lets your Bluetooth-equipped device (e.g., laptop, PDA) access 5gb of data (stored on an internal 1.8" HDD) wirelessly. On a fresh battery, the Toshiba Hopbit can stand by for 200 hours and spin/transmit for 6 hours. Its range is approximately 5 meters. It can also transmit data via USB 1.1 interface. The Hopbit measures 110x70x22mm and weights 180 grams.

HARDWARE
Yes , I was afraid of that , I guess that it ain't gonna be with software.. how about some hardware? some kind of SDIO card that alows this conection, or some other kind of contraption that pluged to the jam ,coadjuvaded by some software, could make this work? what do u think? :shock:
the bluethoot idea is actualy great, but there is a but, for 5 GB it ain't worth it
I already can get a 4 GB sd card on any FNAC store back here in portugal. very pertinent any way.
the bigest wish I have on this earth is to handle 20 GB + on my S100 PLEASE HELP ME ! :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea:

how much does it cost?
can I buy it on-line?
I supose you mean the 4 GB SD card, 'tell u something is expensive.. the 2 GB SD is sold here for 220 euros ( about the same thing in dollars) the 4 GB , is yours for 340 euros. anyway is still cheaper than 4 one GB cards( here around 100 euros)and probably cheaper than the bluethoot HDD.. :wink:

yes... it is expensive...
i've just bought my pqi 1GB SD (45x) for ~$90...
yes u r right .Probably in six months it wil go down to half its corrent price, but then the 6 GB.. Its like a drug u can't stop.. I remenber the time when a 16 MB card was the mack daddy sold for 124 euros.. I AM SICK OF THIS, wasthig money, if I had a HDD.. OHH LIFE! Why are u so cruell..

I went online to FNAC in Portugal - they don't stock a 4GB SD card. Where can you get one?
fnac portugal site is not very god. they still have 4 and 2 GB SDcards do. I supose they should have it in the U.K. to . try in a diferent store, here in some stores they do not have access to these cards nor have the information that they exist , don't understand why , but is like that.
Upgrade your iMate JAM/XDA Mini series internal RAM from 64MB to 128MB with our upgrade service. During the upgrade process we remove the existing 64MB and install 128MB. This memory upgrade does NOT require our proprietary driver and is fully recognized by the OS (121.39MB Available). This unit uses low voltage hi-speed BGA memory, so stacking is not available and 128MB will be the maximum capacity.
Check this site:http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main~unit~O2_XDA_Mini-287~area~upgrades-ram~item~JAM-064-128RAM.htm
does anyone tried this already?? :wink: [/quote][/b]
I'm not sure if this was discussed in this forum but I think it was in Howardforum. Expansys does/did sell units upgraded by pocketpctechs
Assuming this 'operation' is still done, I would have thought that it is no longer cost effective to do so(?)
ram up grade
so will it work for xda2 mini, if so am interested in doing so, but how do i do it, thatz a mystery... hhahahhahah

It's probably near impossible to DIY it unless you are well versed in electronic circuit engineering...and you being able to get hold of the large memory chip!
There is no "memory module", that could be plugged or unplugged. Two chips HYB25L256160AC are soldered on board. Those, who want to perform upgrade himself need to have SMD rework station and pair of new memory chips - HYB25L512160AC. And one small SMD resistor should be also installed on empty place near CPU(it was discussed).
It's not possible for non-experienced person. However - if someone needs chips to do it - try to put your request on HKinventory.com site - but I'm not sure, if someone will be interested to supply less, than 20 chips ... but you can get price <$10 for chip.
Hey guys. I rarely begin threads, and I hope this is in the right place, but what would be the plausibility of putting a new ssd into our tablet? What size would we use in the tablet or would we have to order a custom size?

The internal storage is an eMMC, soldered onto the mainboard. You can only use a microSD card with the data2sd mod.
I am not sure how easliy it would be possible to perform the task, however I know it would probably easier to just buy a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...oogleMKP&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-_-pla-_-NA-_-NA or http://www.lexar.com/node/5235. I dont know if you currently have or use the keyboard dock and what size internal SSD you have but this would give you up to 385 GB of on board storage. I dont know what you may need more storage then that for, but I know there are far easier options to tote around a lot of data then by risking going into your tablet and trying to upgrade the internal SSD,heck you can even plug and external HDD or SDD into the tablet through USB with or with out the keyboard dock needed. I hope I didn't put to much non sense down, just trying to help out a fellow XDA Member.

TF700T mainboard
Here's a link to the mainboard showing the major components with the Hynix surrounded by green.
You can see it's mass produced circuitry.
Not saying it's impossible, yet it would be close to un-doable.

Hi all,
I'm looking to get a new microSD card and - having a more modern device as well as the venerable HTC Desire HD - a question arose regarding maximum microSD capacities.
What is it that actually stops a phone from recognising any storage greater than its stated maximum? The microSD standard is the same for, say, 32GB and 64GB cards, so at what point does the phone say No more!? I assume it's not a software issue; perhaps something to do with the bus that connects the storage slot to the phone?
Which leads me to my actual question: surely, with a 64GB microSD card, one can modify the size of the partition to be 32GB (or less) and thus the phone will recognise it? For this question we can assume that the rest of the space is simply unallocated.
A follow-up query is "How, then, do phones handle external storage with multiple partitions"? Do they recognise multiple partitions up until their 'maximum size limit' is reached? Do they only see the first partition?
Thanks,
Jake
Perhaps it doesn't support that size memory card that you are trying to insert

Yes, I think you can do it. Make a new Primary Partition of your Pen Drive, with size almost equal to the maximum size limit of SD Card your device can handle
May be this help you
Hit thanks if helped
Folks,
Those of you who holds 512GB or 400GB microsd card could you try if your X2 or K30 supports it?
Official xiaomi spec stated only can support up to 256GB but I am asking for real life actual experience here. Thinking of purchasing either one of these larger storage size cards so that I can take a few dozen albums of DSD files and 24bit flac files on the go. Especially useful for longer duration hiking trips up the mountains.
Memory cards work irrespective of the capacity specified by the manufacturer, You can use any capacity and it will work without any issue plus you can use 2 TB WD hard disk as well and it will work too

I don't feel that's true, the size depends on the file system. I guess if you decide not to change the file system, the OS will always read 256 GB only, max to max. Or maybe could read none

Hi, thanks for replying. For OTG connecting 2TB HDD for sure that will work as long as OTG function is enabled within developer setting provided drive is formatted in exFAT and not NTFS. However, we are talking about entirely different slot altogether. USB Type C slot VS microSDXC slot.
For K30, it seemed xiaomi has somehow limited the capacity of the slot to only max out at 256GB at the firmware level for some strange unknown intent according to some comments on chinese forums. Hence I am asking for those who already have a 400/512GB card at hand to help try out and confirm if this is true to remove any guessing work. Thanks！

Yep, indeed file system plays a part. So let's assume the microsd card is formatted in exfat whether is it readable by K30 running MIUI 12?
Don't need the microsd card to be "formatted as internal storage" within the device as that for sure is limited at max 256GB capacity by xiaomi, don't know why they do that. However, I'm interested to know about the part where if the said microsd card is mounted as external storage can MIUI read and write to this storage at its fullest capacity of either 400GB or 512GB?
