Re: SanDisk 8GB MicroSDHC preventing N810 regular boot
 

qwerty12:

I tried "apt-get install sysklogd" after installing becomeroot and typing "sudo gainroot" and i get this in return:

"Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package sysklogd"

and it returns me to prompt. Am I doing something wrong? I think I understand what you're trying to tell me to do though - keep a log to see why it's hanging during boot. Correct?

Looks like the problem was actually the micro-to-mini adapter from Kingston I was using. I got a Topram adapter off ebay for $5 and it's working great!

Thanks for all your advice though.

No way! Seriously? That is awesome, Kchmon, and thank you for sharing that solution; I have an Adata MicroSD card with similar problems (can't boot, also kills the keyboard when I put it in while the device is on) and hopefully a similar solution, since I use a Kingston adapter, too. :)

I just bought a Topram adapter off ebay; here's hoping. By the way, how did you figure it out?

In a older thread, some one mentioned that switching to this Top Ram adapter fixed all the problems. I figured it was worth a $5 attempt.

Wow!

So I guess I was lucky:

Got me a Sandisk 8 GB card the other day - but it was micro SD and only had a nice little USB adapter with it. So the dealer gave me a micro-to-mini-SD adapter he had lying around from a 4 GB Kingston micro-SD card.

I'm glad everything worked without problems.

kch I was thinking about getting that same 8GB but I noticed it did not come with an adapter. Anytime you compare something old with something new it will cause a problem. You can use an older Sandisk adapter with a new technolgy 8GB card because the adapter is not up to par with the 8GB standards. Your best option is to go with a 4GB Sandisk which doesnt require an adapter and your good to go. They have yet to make a 8GB mini SD, only comes in mirco which does not work well at all with older adapters.
