SD ROM Flash problems with 16 gb card

**1999TL** · #1 (**permalink**) 01-05-2010, 07:20 AM

It seems that when my 16 gb card was new, I could SD flash a new rom with it no problem. However, once I start to add a lot of music, my phone will never read the NBH on the root of the card. I just backed up my SD card to prepare for a format, but I'm concerned that this problem will creep up again anyhow.

Anybody have any idea why this happens? How to prevent it or fix it so that my 16 gb card can SD flash roms?

I have been having issues flashing a new rom too. I have an 8gig with about 4 gigs of free space. However, the phone will not read the NBH. I moved the same NBH to another 1 gig card and it flashed perfectly.

I reformatted the card and everything, still works perfectly, but will not flash for some reason. So now, i just use the 1 gig card to flash, then pop the 8 gig back in and resume regular use.

dadoc04, it's not really a BIG deal. But I just want it to work. What if there is that one moment when you are not at home and this ground-breaking rom comes out? I'd like to be able to download it from my phone and flash. LOL. I know there has to be a solution. I've had this happen a couple of times dating back to the Touch Pro I days. After a format to fat32 I could flash for awhile.

I'm using Windows Media player to sync, so the music is on the root. I suspect this may be the culprit: either using WMP to sync or just having too much data on the card.

Oh yah, did you make sure that the 8gb card is formatted to fat32?

I have a dedicated 2gb sd card for flashing. Stops any chance of any interference from other data on my main sd card.
