The advantages are small but there may be some that you could not do without? For example, the new version of Mobile Office to read and save the Office 2007 docs and spreadsheets in the new docx and html formats? The slightly more swish shaded today screen bars top and bottom. If you go for NewPlow's WM6.1 version 018 you get a lot of the FSC rubbish utilities taken out and lots of little goodies included in the ROM (LooxLight, Quick GPS, atomic clock synchronisation etc.). The wireless network handling is improved but this is due to microsoft's changes.

Like you, I nearly left my N560 at WM5 because the SDHC patch was what I really needed. And it worked just fine. But I must say that now I have upgraded I won't want to go back! The extras mean it is just about worth it.

My usage matches yours almost entirely, but the percentages are different. Video (2%), music (50%), GPS navigation (48%). I think it is worth it. If like me you use TCPMP and wma/wmv files then you will need to copy two dll codec files from WM5 to the new WM6.1 Windows folder. You can find instructions for this elsewhere on this thread.... and on this forum.

Hope you enjoy the 16Gb SDHC? Tis a good price, eh? And mine works just fine.

SDHC driver

Hi All,

I have downloaded the SDHC driver for my n560 but some apps don't woek with it, like iGO. It seems to be working, WiFi works, but some softwares just don't start up. Any idea, how to overcome this? Thanks

Zsoltie
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] abdulai123:
great, great information fingerstoo! many thanks! saves me alot of searching and browsing!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fingerstoo:
I assume you are using WM6.1?

The driver shouldn't affect apps. However iGo seems quite fussy? The applet just re-directs the calls to the SD card slot and runs its SDHC code . But normal SDs should work too.

So it maybe that if you are on WM6.1 you have to change the COM port settings to get GPS to work? The setting in "External GPS" need not be changed, but change you software to look for the right port. TomTom 6 under WM6.1 wants to be connected to the Hardware Port COM4 and refuses to work on the software port COM8. It should work on either but it too is "fussy".

But completely non-starting apps may be something different. Have you tried a Hard Reset followed by re-install of just iGo? Then set the right COM port....

An interesting benchmark I made a few minutes ago with Pocket Mechanic on my N560 running standard WM5:

1) As you can see, unbuffered writes are very very slow on SD card ! SDHC rocks !

2) even the ordinary SD performances are slighty better with the SDHC driver !

Conclusion: fantastic job from GreateVK & FreePK !

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zsoltie:
I have tried it with WM5 and then WM6.1 without any result. It has nothing to do with the GPS, iGO cannot start. The load screen appears, but after a few seconds it just stops. This problem is the same when I use standard SD card with this SDHC driver in the system. So this is independent from the system and the card I use. Other things like WiFi, Bluetooth etc. seem to be working well.

I tried this with iGO 2006 Plus and iGO8 as well. iGO 2006 quits with Hardware ID error message, iGO doesn't show anything just stops. Is there anyone out there who use this driver with iGO?

Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fingerstoo:
Apparently the copy protection built in to iGo will not recognise files on SDHC when the SDHC driver is installed in user memory. If you use a WM6 ROM with this SDHC driver built in, then it has a chance of working. I picked this up from a rough Google translation on Newplow's Russian site. It seems to affect cracked versions of the iGo software! I am not a user of iGo at all, so you must get others to comment?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fingerstoo:
There seems to be a new version of WM6.0 (036) that is supposed to cure the iGo problem... see Newplow's site.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zsoltie:
Thanks for the suggestion, I am currently downloading that image, but according the description on the site, it has standard SD driver built-in not SDHC, so the question is, if I use it and I install the SDHC driver. will iGO be working on my system? That would be my goal actually.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fingerstoo:
I am running the previous version, 035. I have installed GreakVk's SDHC patch and it works. If you look at Newplow's site (with Google translation) you will see in the Guestbook that Newplow is running iGo himself on version 036, so it seems that iGo and the SDHC patch work for him! I think that is what spurred him on to solve the iGo problem...

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fingerstoo:
Good innit?

I bought a 16Gb SDHC Class 4 and it is FAST! And it already half full! :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] -SKYLINE-:
just wondering.... this may sound like an obvious question, but does the SDHC cards being faster help noticably with loading programs from it?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fingerstoo:
Hi, SKYLINE... we are still both around then? Good to hear from you.

No noticeable improvement in loading, but less dropped frames in difficult videos on TCPMP, copying lots of tiny files is quicker. I have lots of small sound files for bird sounds and any backups or copying used to take ages, it now is quicker. I have to admit being lazy and have not benchmarked the speed increase. I aslo hav lots of large mapping files and being able to have my whole collection instantly available is good and they do load very quickly into Memory Map.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] -SKYLINE-:
Yep, still checking this site like every 2 hours.... i should make better use of my time :p.

no need to do benchmarking, it's the broader macro experience that matters... :D

I have downloaded this driver and installed it on my N560.

Well, it won't work with my newly purchased Transcend SDHC 16 GB Class 6 card.

What could be the problem?

Older SD cards are recognized, but not this SDHC one.

Is there a new version of this driver to support Transcend SDHC 16 GB Class 6 card?

Thank you.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fingerstoo:
This has me stumped. I bought an Integral (never heard of them before!) 16Gb Class 4 and it worked. As I have no need to buy another (yet!) I have no idea why yours did not work and I have no other experiences to guide you. I think the Class 6 is faster at reading and writing and it may be faster than the N560 is designed for, but this should make no difference. It's like having a Ferrari car and driving at low speeds.... but there's nothing wrong with that, so it cannot be the Class speed.

Does your N560 even recognise it has been inserted?

Have you tried re-installing the patch? Have you tried a soft reset? Have you tried taking a complete system backup (uninstall the patch first), then a hard reset and just install the patch on the empty device and see if it works with nothing else loaded at all! Then restore from your backup. If it doesn't work then cry!

Have you tried a different reader, a SDHC reader on a PC for example?

I cannot think what else to suggest but this set of tests should eliminate any installation issues.

At the end of the day it may be a faulty SDHC card?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Argenberg:
I'm not sure what happened but finally it's working.

But it was not working a week ago - I'm sure of this!

The card itself is OK - I tried connecting it to the computer using the SD reader.

Now all is fine but I don't know what's happened.

I've got the same problem with IGO after installing that driver for SDHC, tough the driver works very well on my N520, reads SDHC of 16 G, and any other applications that I use. If there is something that you find as a solution for that problem please post what you did to work. My main application for PDA is also IGO, so I need it badly. Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fingerstoo:
The main work carried out by Russian programmer, Newplow, following GreateVK etc has been on the N560 and NC550 not the N520 unfortunately. There seems to have been some problems with iGo and the new WM6.0 ROMS which happen to incorporate the SDHC patch in the ROM. Newplow seems to have solved it for the N560, but I see no evidence of any work or results that might be applied to the N520. Shame for you.

There is some evidence that iGo program expects to use directly the ROM SD card reading programming routine, and not be re-directed to an application i.e. the patch program, to read the SD(HC) card slot. The answer seems to be to have the SDHC patch burnt into the main ROM, which is what Newplow has programmed for the N560 and C550.

But someone else might know differently?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] txvs:
I'm working fine with a N520 WM6, SDHC driver + Kingston SDHC 8GB class 6 and IGO8. I've heard this problem before, and I've read somewhere that the solution is to upgrade IGO8 to the last release.

I hope this helps!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fingerstoo:
There you go! Hope it works?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] danielharea:
Thks, txvs! I remember now the topic, WM6 for N520, I'll upgrade, and also install the last version of IGO too. What version of WM do you use? (I'm still with the original WM5), if you have a link to download it, I'll appreciate...

The complete description of symptoms is that IGO doesn't work from neither SD card or SDHC card after installing the patch. When I uninstalled the patch I had the same problem with IGO, didn't work at all, regardless what type of card I use. To have IGO working, I had to "hard reset" the PDA. I am ignorant in developping applications for PDA or for PC, I'm not a programmer, but I have installed and uninstalled a lot of programs, so, not a beginner in the matter. My feeling is that the patch is OK, all other applications works fine after installing it, that should be a proof for, and the guys who created it have done a great job! I only tried to find someone who had the same problem and had solve it succesfully. I'll try also others version of IGO... hope to be working.

Thks, txvs, fingerstoo!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] txvs:
Hi again!

I'm running N520:

Windows Mobile 6 Classic CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)

IGO8 8.0.0.35389 (Apr 15 2008)

Windows version is the latest from the thread WM6 for N520.

IGO version is not the last one, but I'm working fine with loquendo voices and any maps, so if it's working, it's better don't touch!

I hope this helps ;o)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zsoltie:
I tried this patch with all the available ROMs but to no avail. With the ROM which already included the patch the iGO8 worked, but crashed every now an then being unable to read the stored settings. If I reset iGO to factory settings it worked again for a while. It seemed it cannot write the SDHC card well. Anyway I decided to go back to the standard ROM and I use a 2Gb card instead. Since then I had no problem with iGO. I am sorry about this, because I could make use of a bigger card, but not for the price of instability.

If there would be an improvement to this issue I'll be willing to give it another try.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fingerstoo:
The SDHC patch seems to work fine on almost every program but iGo. Glad I use alternatives.

You might still be able to find ordinary 4Gb SDs that work. I bought a couple before the SDHC patch and they worked well. Transcend made them but you will have to check that they are still available. And obviously check they are true SD and not SDHC badly labelled (I had some! and took them back to the supplier).

iGO for SDHC

After installing the SDHC-patch on my N560 (original WM5-ROM), which works perfectly with my 16Gb SDHC from Transcend, I was really mad about the trouble to get iGo running again. Finally, I found a new iGO.exe-file in a russian forum, bringing my iGO6 back to life - and this very easily.

Just search in google for "Различные сборки iGO" - go to the page and open the chapter => then look for "карта памяти SDHC " and there is a link which guides you to the file for_sdhc.zip. This is the gold nugget you are looking for. Just replace your iGO.exe with the one contained in for_sdhc.zip and the sun is shining again.

P.S.: Now I know what I had to learn russian language for in school (:D)...

It's not a separate program but one included by FSC and maybe MS themselves in the Windows CE ROM. However, I am running Newplow's WM6.0 version 038g on the N560, and he may have included it in his ROM as a "bonus"? I cannot remember, but it looks like it comes from FSC themselves.
