Hi,

I've read some posts regarding this issue but I was unable to find if there's already a definite solution to the memory card corruption on P3600.
Can anyone update me about that, please?

I have a 2 GB A-Data Super 80X mini SD that worked fine for 2 years since I bought this HTC. 2 months ago I sent it to warranty for exchange of the peeling covers and they also updated the WM5 ROM. After that I took some photos and used the card on the PC to save a few Tom-Tom updates and 2 weeks later Tom-Tom complained that it couldn’t find any voices. When I opened File Explorer there it was, the funny characters replaced a few folders. Before that I was using the first Portuguese official ROM that activated the GPS.

Tips and tricks I've already found around here:

To workaround the problem you can set the device to turn itself off after 1 minute in the power options, then let the device turn itself off instead of pressing the power button.
Install WM6 - Is this confirmed to solve the problem?
Memory performance tweaks-File system cache is too big, there could be some problems with your storage card, so decrease your file system cache - Is this confirmed to solve the problem forever?
As long as I copy files to/from the card using an external card reader (and not via active sync), I have no problems. - It is slower but if this works I can live with it.
Soft-reset - This didn't work for me.

Thats the one thing i hate about my trinity. I haven't got a card reader, so everything gets sent via activesync. Unfortunately anything above 15mb just crashes the card and i have to soft reset and hopefully delete the files on there.

The only solution i have found that (sometimes) works is transfering over wi-fi.
I have got a corruption problem as well. I installed a game that failed but after soft resetting i was left with files i couldn't delete, but i dont want to format yet as tomtom and other larger files can be tedious transfering over wifi.

I would like to know if there is a way to get rid of this without formatting, and why activesync crashes at 15mb

After installing a WM6.5 ROM and formating the card this problem never appeared again. The 2gb mini SD card is working as it should work without any extra tweaks or drivers.

But now I have a spare micro SDHC of 4gb and will buy a mini sd adapter to upgrade my 2gb card on trinity. I'll post my experience with the 4gb card after testing it exaustively.
For people that are having issues with the SD card on WM5, maybe its a good idea to try some alternate drivers like these:
