Owners know that the default driver can read 2 and 4GB cards, but cannot write cards over 1GB. This fixed it. The download you need is T3-bigCard from PalmPowerups.com download area.

I strongly urge newbies of TX to use them for a year before buying a SDHC card fix because unless you know about resets and conflicts of programs, you will be either disappointed or frustrated. Anyway I feel so bad in saying I would buy a SDHC fix and didn't buy one. Maybe I should just send a donation to the Dmitry Palm foundation? Anyway I am grateful for Dmitry and I wish him success and prosperity. __________________ Th-55 U, T/X, TG-50, Handspring Deluxe (3) and PSP user.

I used Quick Install and got this message: - Invalid handheld file deleted: C:\palm\download\T3-bigCards.prc

Have no idea what you are talking about in reference to daily crashes and incompatability of programs and SDHC. I BOUGHT my TX after I bought and used the SDHC driver for my T5 and actually liked it soo much that I purchased a full license for the TX even though my T5 sits in a drawer.
I have experienced NONE of the problems that you describe in any way.
You may want to check your own setup as the exception and not the Rule

That did it!!
I have run a full backup in the 2Gb card (BackupBuddyVFS), and no problem.
Filez operates files in the card now, too, and some other apps can write to the card as well. I'll test it further... and I'll buy a 4Gb card.
Great!!

First off, I'm very excited that you've spent any time with this Dmitry. It is very much appreciated by me and other T3 users out there.

Now, on to my install issues. First I tried the procedures by VincentChon and when I put my 4g SD card in, the T3 said that it did not recognize it.

Next I tried the method you wrote using udmh. For the step "copy app from card to ram" Filex gave an error, so I used RescoExplorer which first messaged that it was a read-only file that was being overwritten (probably from the first attempt). I clicked OK and it copied over. I then deleted udmh like you said, and performed a soft-reset with the 4G in the T3.

Now, not only does it not recognize the 4G SD, but it also doesn't see my old 1G card. No error, nothing. It acts as if I'm not taking it out and reinserting (it usually reads the card and shows it in Filex).

So now even after soft resets, I cannot read any SD cards. Any advice?
