Hi all, just got a byteStor sd card but can't seem to copy anything to it, i've tried switching the lock, i've tried formatting it but to no avail.
has anyone any ideas ???
TIA
Does your XDA II recognise it?
One thing to try is inserting the card while XDA II is on and see if it prompts you to format it. If it's not formatted it should prompt you.

Hi dcs, yes it sees the card and the folder i created on it, just don't seem to be able to copy any file of any format across to it, haven't used activesynce yet, just the card reader on the pc, i'll try activesynce and lt you know.
Thanks

If I try just copying a file with the sd card in the card reader on the pc then it says that the disk is wright protected.
I've just tried copying an mp3 using activesync and it works ???? strange
So you are saying that with the card in the XDA II you can browse it from Activesync's explore option and write to it successfully? and that on your PC, the card reader doesn't seem to allow writing to it?
If that's the case, then maybe you should look at the card reader and its drivers. I think I read something somewhere about XP getting things wrong with memory cards.

It's a built in unit, not a seperate reader but yes, I will look at the driver option.... thanks
I think you might have to just let it sit for a while. It does that to me all the time.
hi guys! m new here.. i have a prob with my sd card. everything from copying files to sd card to reformatting are fine. however when i open the files using the sd, oftentimes it stops running.
i'm opening mpeg and pdf files of more than 3mb. i'm using 1Gig pqi sd card 60x.
help....
Help!!
I just got my 1gb apacer 60x sd card for my blueangel.
earlier i was using 1gb mmc card. that was working fine.
now with active sync, or with file explorer on phone, i can not delete or create anything new on the external card.
though the carrd works fine with a card reader...
i even reset the lock and tried but nothing happens..
am i missing some step somewhere??
do i need to format the card b4 using it in my BA?
reading is not a problem, its only writing, and that too from the phone and activesync only.
Pls help!!
Hi everyone,
I really need help.... I have an spv m5000 and a 1 gb kingston sd card wich works perfectly on my mp3 player ( I can read, upload and erase files). the thing is that in the spv I can read but I can't upload nor erase files.
I have already format the card and still the same problem
Any suggestion, any idea ??
thanks a lot
Rodrigo
Is the little lock switch on the card itself (usually on the left side as you look at the front) set in the lock position? That would allow you to read without being able to modify files.
On my Transcend card the switch is locked when it is in the down position, and unlocked when it is up.
I hope that helps, that's the only thing I can think of right off.
Thanks you for that ...but I've have try the upper possition, the lower postion and the middle (almost SD card Kama sutra ) possition and still not working.
anyway thanks for the tip

What did you use to format the SD Card? Your computer or the Universal itself?
You can try and install WM5torage, an application that would allow you to view the SD Card while still in the Universal as a drive. Activate WM5torage and connect it via USB, then try "quick format" the SD Card this way.
Solved
Thank you so much for the wm5torage...... that solve the problem with out format
thanks again

Anyone know of an application that will allow me to check the micro SD card is OK ?
I suspect I have a fault in the card as I had to recopy 2 folders and the PC can't read the card directly.
It would be nice to check first without going through all the backup and restore time (16 gigabyte card).
Thanks, D.

I've never heard of a WM program to do this but you could try putting the card in your pc and using Scandisk command.

Thanks - but the PC does not recognise the card !!
But, you've given my the idea to try it directly from a DOS window using scandisk from the command line.
Thanks, D.
Active Sync?
Will you get access to the (corrupted) storage card while connected your THD with activesync?
Other way to check could provide EasyRecovery from OnTrack and your THD has to be connected in diskdrive mode.
In generell I used a tool named h2testw - which was developed by a German Computer Magazin called CT. http://sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/2008/09/02/h2testw-14-gold-standard-in-detecting-usb-counterfeit-drives/
This is the best one to check physical errors on every externel memorycard connected through USB. It has to be used on a new formated card.
Thank you for the tips I will explore those.
I'm not sure what the problem is. I can see the card via active sync but not via USB style connect.
I can not see the card when I directly connect it via a card reader.
I was able to use a different card OK and reinstall my GPS app (Route 66) which had gotten screwed up by this card "fault".
I'll report back on results ...
Hmm
These two don't work because I can't see the card from the PC (except via activesync)
There is a file called "~Recycled" in the storage card which does not show in the standard pocket pc file explorer but does show up in total commander.
Maybe that is causing a problem - will investigate on google what this is.

Noop - that's not it. Apparently this is just a delete folder from Resco File Explorer. It should not stop the PC from seeing the card.
Searching further ...
same problem here, I am contacting Orange to try to get a replacement. Not sure if its under warranty.
Try Pocket Mechanic for PPC... it has a Scan Disk utility amid a collection of others.
Successfully repaired my micro SD card with this when my HD was having problems reading my storage card some 3 days back.
Good luck!
Tutorial Repair MicoSD Card After Mango Lock! in Windows Apperently HD2 only! s!
okay This tutorial will not work on the real protected WP7 sdcard, only for hacked HD2
only problum is I have'nt tested it so I will need a test rabbit to stab with a needle! if he is sic then he wont have any problum doing so! please volentear!
okay so this is how its done!
first fallow this tutorial for MicroSdCard repair!
Step #1. do a google search for "hp drive key boot utility" Download it to your computer! (the name of the exe after extracted is "hpdkbu.exe"(I have windows 7 & the utility would not install on my system if this is the case for you as well just click extract instead of install & run the hpdkbu.exe. that I just mentioned) hopefully you have a usb adapter...or card reader pluged in. Run the utility select the drive letter for your MicroSD card that is in the usb or card reader mine was "e"...
click next... then select create new or replace (its already checked) hit next... select hard drive (its already checked) hit next... select create new file system (its already checked) hit next... then it says something at the bottom then says formatting...
here is the weird part of the tutorial the program stops responding... right about when it gets to the part that says something about lunixsys file because the exe wont be useing that part of the program. Dont sweat it just end task it... now go to my computer & look at your properties for the drive (should say 0 free 0 used)... now right click on the drive and select format... now you can see your card in windows but the partiton will be unreconised as well as the size!
Step #2. Okay now that the mbr has ben repaired & windows sees the card we move on to kill disk! do a google search for this program kill disk!
use it on your micro sd card!
Step #3.after that you may need to reformat it
note thare are to diffrent versions of killdisk #1 works in windows the other is a lunix distro that is a bootable disk if you use the lunix disto you can skip step 1
& one more note apperently the program killdisk takes a realy long time to run xda user Perlian reported that he had ran the program for over 5hr's but in the end his MicroSD card was repaired!

Perlian said:
Yesterday I used the tool Killdisk (Free Edition) to try and revive my locked Transcent 16 GB Micro SD Card. I normally use this tool to revive my SSD's when installing a fresh version of Windows. The tool does not look at partitions but simply writes zero's ("00000") to the medium.
I used the Linux version located on the ultimate boot CD (http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/). So I booted my laptop with the ultimate boot CD in it (USB reader + mico SD card plugged in). Ran the Killdisk tool for over 5 hours (!!).
After that I booted my Windows and I was able to format the micro SD card !
So no Nokia phone was needed .....
Hope it works for everybody with a locked card.

Got 2 locked goddamned sd-cards (on HD2), trying to recover them about 2 weeks, spend more than 100 hours no any result using ANY WAY!!!!!!
HP utility does not format my card, it says formatting, then linux sys, but the program is responding after that! The card is NOT VISIBLE, even if you end task the HP window. If hit OK, than program says that format is sucessful.
I did not find ANY LINUX DISTRIBS with KILLDISK, only DOS, which is FREEZING on detecting usb devices. Tried also to use Ultimate BootCD to fix cards. It is also not booting with USB Card Reader [tried ALL MODES WITH ALL AVALIABLE USB OPTIONS!!!] it boots only in NO UMB [def mode without USB 2.0 (only 1.1)], but discovers only SD-adapter with working SD-Card. When I put the locked instead of broken and try to switch working microsd on locked and start formatting, it says "WRITE ERROR"
So none of posted instructions for recovery did not worked for me (even NOKIA phones did not see the card). Maybe error with usb chipset or card reader, but these methods are not working.
Got Win7/ASUS K70AF with integrated Card-Reader (Alcor Micro USB 2.0 Card Reader) and locked MicroSD Cards Transcand 1GB&8GB plus NOT_LOCKED SANDISK 1GB.
Could you provide more info about exact version of HP Tool? I got 7.41.3790.0 from the first link of Google. Or at least post, where did you find Linux version of KILLDISK, or you mean DOS version? What card reader do you have?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Any Luck with this? HELP NEEDED
I just upgraded the SD Card in my Venue Pro to 32GB, and was wondering if I Could format my 16GB Sandisk that was in it before Mango upgrade.
I followed each step but was unable to proceed. Please any help would be appreciated. Or please point me to a Thread I can follow.
Thanks
Awesome! Worked perfectly and only took ~20 minutes. Thanks
this method works great in the HD7, revived 3 cards last night...
Not sure if it can be ported to the HD2 or others, but worth a look...

just a quick one: is your sdhc card seen, in any way, by the utility you use to format it?
for instance, a transcend class 2 sdhc 16 gb card is only see by the hp utility but when I hit the format button says there is no card to format (using sd formatter it only sees the card for 2 seconds) - OS Windows 7 / Windows XP (all drivers installed)

Diskpart is a utility included in Windows, so when you go to a command prompt.
type diskpart
It will load and bring you in.
type list disk> this will list all the drives (HDD, SD CARDS, REmovable disk,etc) it will list the disk by numbers. So when you see your SD CARD and it's # 2 or #3 on the list you type this
select disk #2... now disk #2 is active and you can start deleting partitions within that card.
But you need to list the partitions in order to format the entire card, you will need to execute this command in order to delete the locked partition. But before I will give you the list of commands you need. Once you " select disk #" do this,
list partition> will list all the partitions on the selected disk, you need to select each partition and delete manuallly.
select partition 1
delete partition override> for the partition that is locked
select partition 2
delete partition
Once the partitions are deleted you'll be able to format the card normally.But I doubt you'll need to use HP that utility.

Hello.
I am following your guide to unlock my microsd blocked by HTC HD7.
I arrived well at the end of step 1, but already I'm stuck at step 2.
I installed the program on my Windows 7 KillDisk, but the card still does not messing around, and Windows, as you say, it tells me 0 and 0 free memory in use and the formatting is not available.
What version of KillDisk should I use? You may link to the page where you download it?

Tried it and it worked. Everyone who was troubles getting the MicroSDHC to work for other devices should take a look at this. The rom used is the one by xbmod, so this trick can be used on all HTC 1st gen devices.
Spread it!
Thanks for your tutorial. But did I get you right that it only works when the sd-card is detected before? The problem is that my sd-card is not shown anywhere at all. So I think I cannot work on it by using any normal windows based program... I tried several tools (also the HP key disk tool or however it is called) and it did not find anything to format.

replace card with quality one .. not cheap crap ..
My card is Transcend Micro SDHC Class 10 32 Go. I think it's a a good quality one. Isn't it?
Did you guys get the prompt notification once you connect the USB to PC, that asks you to chose between MTP, PTP, Hisuite and USB storage ?

Yes i see i can untick it. I have let it that way itself so that i can later explore its other options as i don't where to get that notification back if i was to untick it. Also idk what you mean by debugging thing.
Anyway i mentioned this just cause im wondering if these guys who are not getting their memory card to work, whether they get that notification or their problems got something to do with changing the options in that.
