how to format 4gb HC king stone card to work well on Rokr E2 using XP operating system?

AFAIK, ROKR E2 doesn't support SDHC (SD High Capacity).

actually, it supports it...
check out MARS FW, or the new Kernel.

Sounds interesting.
Could you please tell me where can I get this MARS f/w?

Really? Have you tried it? afaik, E2 only support the non-SDHC 4Gb card...

Thank you, ahmed.
I'm on a long weekend, but I can still connect to the internet with my ZN5.
Now downloading ilove3d's new kernel.
And will try this patch with Kingston 8GB MicroSDHC (currently used with ZN5) as soon as possible.

Tested it.
When I tried to browse my SD, it suggest me to format.
But I don't want to format it.
So I check the SD capacity, my E2 shows that it is 3.5GB.
This is the same value as ZN5 reported. (ZN5 reports 3.5GB but can use all 8GB)

ahmed, if you want to format your card, try format it with your E2, or try format it with your PC as FAT16.

yes the phone feels 4GB card but when dealing with the card i must format it by phone(the only tool which can format as fat16) so after that the SD becomes only 2GB felt!
i tried yesterday every letter u mentioned..but fat16 is not supported by xp only fat 32 which also not supported by E2! so i turned to linux ubunto no tool to format as fat 16..the question ...is there any external program can format the 4GB micro SD as fat 16? (i tried both PartitionMagic 8.0 and Paragon Partition Manager but they did not feel the SD only my 80G Hard Disk).
btw i do not have windows 98 or milinum CD to format the SD as fat 16.. very promising card ;)

Try format or create partition with disk management.

Check this link http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=101874 (http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=101874).
I'll search for more information.

For FAT32/ext3 support, check this link http://moto.it168.com/thread-465194-4-10.html (http://moto.it168.com/thread-465194-4-10.html). (It's in Chinese - I can't read it)
Or try to make 2 partitions as this http://www.modmymoto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19974 (http://www.modmymoto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19974).

I'm waiting for someone to test these.
I think that if we combine both patches (SDHC and FAT32 support), may be we can use up to 32GB SDHC.
This will turns our E2 into a monster. :D

ong14
it seems a hardware property of fat16(which works on E2) that can not be more than 2GB in size i tried diskmgmt.msc order..after format with 64k culster size it becomes 2gb..so i heard before E2 can use both fat 16 and EXt3 is there any utility can divide the Micro SD into two partitions and format them as Fat16 and EXt3 ?  

You can format your SDHC with FAT16 with 128kb clusters, to make your partition up to 4GB, you can use Paragon Partition Manager, for example.

PS: Check this out: http://www.modmymoto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=460901, there is the link to the new modified kernel, that supports SHDC of any capacity (using an ex3 partition, for SDHC bigger than 4GB), in that forum, they have tested it with an 8gb SDHC card only, if any of you have a bigger card, you can try it to see what happens, and post it here :)

Wow.. So it is really works? Cool... I should try an 8GB card...!!!! :D Wait, how much it costs?

In my country it costs about 20 dollars (Argentina), I dont know how much it costs in Indonesia, but it would be around 20 bucks too ;)

Ha Ha... :) ong14 and ebrainte thanks a lot for your great help...it is very easy to make  4GBHC card works well on E2....after installing (kernel_SUMATRA_ilove3d_kernel_v3_0006SDHC_SDfix.sbf) insert the 4Gb card into ur pc (i advice through a card reader not E2 to avoid any damage to ur phone if happens)just write (diskmgmt.msc) order in command prompt (disk management) program will appear after choosing ur card click to format with fat and make sure to adjust the cluster volume to default ..press ok  that is all :)
ah btw i forget to mention that check http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLj3iqtEuVg

Tested with Sandisk MicroSDHC 4GB Class2.
Thank you ahmed.

No not me you..who guided me and have to be thanked :)... any way what about 8 gb card of ur zn5 did u try it on e2? how man is greedy?!! ;)  

I've never tried 8GB on E2 because I don't want to use ext3. :D

this kernel make the green music button as OK button right? is it mean i'll lost task manager function? (kaleid)

hold it :)

ok thanks. love this kernel. tested with DNA 4gb sdhc..works well ;D

tested with VGen 4 GB SDHC.
but i couldn't use mout swap..

to use a 8gb card you won´t need have ext3

i´m using a 8gb card on fat32 ;)

it works very well

Could you please test your 8GB@FAT32 with rockbox?
I wanna know if we have to run some script before using 8GB card with rockbox.

Hi,

I have flashed SDHC support with success. I formatted my 8gb sdhc card with ext2 as fat32 doesn't supoort files larger than 4gb so its useless for me. The problem is even my FW BlackStorm supports ext2, when I try to access memory card it ask me to format it.

Any hint?

Where did you get this kernel?

please can you describe how
you succeded. I could not make it work

Formated to FAT16 with default cluster size and 4GB card works fine.

Did try FAT32 tho...

FAT 32 DOESN'T SUPPORT MORE THAN 4GB....
SO STOP BLUFFING....
