people have been asking about this alot seems it's a part of windows CE-5
and just have to be enabled by the rom maker
Does anyone know what would be the least-featured (read: least expensive!) Nokia phone with the Symbian operating system that is capable of formatting a microSD card that's been used in a WP7 device? In other words, what model Nokia phone with the Symbian operating system should I look for (used) if I want ONLY to use it to format memory cards used in WP7 devices & want to spend as little money as possible?
The Nokia 7650 (S60) was the first, according to what I've read, Nokia phone released with the Symbian operating system; it was released in 2002 and had V6.1 of Symbian. Does anyone know if that early version of Symbian would format a WP7 card, or do I need a later version?
THanks,
Dennis
What do you just want to use it in something else...
Why not just use mini partition wizard on the PC. Is free so can't really go wrong.

I've used it a ton of times on my hd2 works perfect... There's another program too... I believe it the Panasonic sd formatter.. I think it's a program that comes with a digital camera or something.
No need to buy a Nokia though just to format a card.

Unless you've put Windows Phone 7 on your HD2, which I understand can be done, it's NOT the same as formatting a microSD card from a Windows Phone 7 device. Once removed from a Windows Phone 7 handset, the microSD card DOES NOT EVEN SHOW UP IN A PC WHEN YOU TRY AND READ IT THAT WAY. The ONLY way I know of FOR SURE to make it useable again is to format it in a Nokia phone that uses the Symbian operating system.

Yah I know... Only thing that shows is 200mb.
Its the wp7 partition that doesn't show up..
Yah had windows phone 7 on my hd2 since the original dft rom... That's actually why I ended up buying the hd7.
That program will work. I've actually since then used it for several other random stuff too. Like shrinking the drive on my laptop to dual boot 7 & 8.
When you open the program make sure you select te sd card. Then delete both partitions, it will turn into one unformatted partition, then format the whole thing to whatever format you want, then click the click check mark check to apply changes, let it do its thing, all set.

Had the same problem only seeing 200 mb of 2GB. Partition wizard worked perfectly for me.Thanks for the tip @reeg420
The above is not for native windows phones
as far as nokia you can get nokia music phone and it should be super cheap to get what you need to get done
It takes less than 3 minutes I did it for a member on xda and it was no problem
edit I used my n8 and it is symbian belle. It doesn't matter which os though
I been frustrated for two days now trying to format fat32 on osx.Disk Utility only formats FAT and exFAT,these to filesystems are not recognized by android.
Even worst,once you format external or internal sdcard in osx with FAT or exFAT,those volumes wont even mount in clockwork!So there is no way to format them in cwm!
I only have one windows laptop with broken screen,to make it short i gotta go and hock it up to my tv every time i wanna format my sdcard.
I tried iPartition with no sucess and cant use gParted because my imac has broken dvd drive.
Any suggestions on how to format sd in osx to a filesystem that android will recognize?
And how do i format external sd from cwm?Because it formats internal and not external.
Thanx in advance.
I dont remember having those problems with regular Epic.
You could get your hands on the latest vmware fusion, install xp or linux on it, then go that way. You could make a usb flash drive bootable and put gfarted on it. You could heimdal (sp) the phone with a back to stock. How about adb into the phone and format the internal card (I don't know if it's possible and I don't know how to do it). How about put the external card into another phone that takes micro sd cards and format it there.

gParted on usb wont work because macs dont boot off usb,i cant even boot windows 7 dvd from external dvd drive,thats the reason i dont have windows 7 installed.As far as using wmvare,etc-i wont do it because it slows down system with few services that take ups cpu and ram.
I just wanted to know maybe someone knows some partitioning app that runs directly on osx,or maybe a terminal command or something like that.
Its hard to believe that there isnt even one partitioning app for osx(besides iParted-which only resizes partitions and doesn't format them,and it crashes on my snow leopard).
I know there are some mac users on here that have same issue.

Never tried setting mbr in Disk Utility.And i do have windows7 laptop with broken screen that i almost never use and i had linux,out of all 3 i like osx snow leopard the most.
Now if you got time and knowledge to tweak sht than linux and windows are better.Im still getting used to macs but i wouldn't go back to windows(maybe win 8)

I had developer edition of 8 & wow it blows ..... Instant remove for me...I know it may get better and more refined but just hate the way the GUI is set up.... I like a cleaner more hidden setup....not alot of icons .. To me 8 is just windows 7 with windows phone GUI crammed on top ... Another fall in my opinion it will be another millennium

Exactly what i thought,i tried it on vmware.
They just slimmed windows 7 and overplayed it with metro ui.
Maybe overtime more and more of windows 7 components will get removed and windows 8 will grow to be a completely new os-time will tell.
Im not a big fan of tiles either,maybe if they made those tiles more 3d or interactive/video tiles.To me they look like .bmp images made with paintbrush,lol-it is different i give them that.
Osx lion also headed in wrong direction-i stick with snow leopard for now.
I beg to differ a little. If you make a proper (following online instructions) bootable USB drive, it should boot. I've ran Ubuntu and leopard off of a flash drive on my MacBook. Did you know about the boot loader thing? When you first turn on the Mac, get the sound and white screen, you hold down the option key and it should appear. With vmware, you can configure how much or how little of available resources you give to the guest os. You say you don't like the performance hit when you run virtual machines. You don't run them all the time, just long enough to get the job done in the other OS. You then shut down the guest OS, then vmware, then you have all the resources back for osx. I did have windows problems recently until I remembered I had a vmware XP image sitting on a backup drive. Another alternative is getting a NetBook. Its good enough for flashing and other things that are less of a hassle on windows than Mac.
PS
I've watched the video on how to replace the optical drive on my MacBook. I think I could do it. A replacement (not official apple hardware) optical drive is around 150 for my mb. I've read that going through apple out of warranty to replace a superdrive is around 400 or so.
If you could get the optical drive replaced, you could maybe use boot camp to make the machine dual boot with a windows partition.

Yes you can boot osx and linux off usb but not windows on mac.You cant even boot windows dvd off external dvd drive.Yes when i installed snow leopard it booted fine off external dvd drive but not windows.Just google it.
Maybe u can install linux of external drive because it uses same boot method as osx but windows uses mbr.
And im not about to spend 100-150 dollars for imac internal dvd drive replacement-thats crazy talk,just for little more i can buy a blu ray burner.Replacing drive is easy part,i took my whole imac apart before.And you gotta take almost whole imac apart just to replace dvd drive or hard drive,lol.
Only thing thats good about macs is osx,lol.
I love macs and i bought my imac 2008 used for 400 bucks.But i would never buy one new because they are overpriced and video card cant be upgraded.
I googled for 2 days trying to install windows 7 of external dvd drive/usb stick and no it cant be done.And vmware have services running even when its off.
I like my system clean with minimal software installed,anything you install leaves a mark even after you delete it,plus installing vmware just to format sdcard doesnt sound right,lol.
Like I said, do you have an old phone laying around that could format the card for you? If not you could go to a phone store, find a display phone that is working and is easy to get at the sd card slot, pop in the card and format it. Done.
Ok have searched around, and have found nothing before asking.
I started rooting back when I had the Samsung Moment, Yeah, while back.
Anyhow, I could be wrong, but if I remember correctly....when you rooted(even when windows 7 came out) it was required to have xp files in it.
Having Windows Home Edition should be Ok right? I have not tried and trickling last thoughts and asking if need be before I flash!
Have not seeen in any root directions for siii that anything else was needed except Windows PC!!
If I remember correctly my tech buddy from school told me that windows 7 and xp are related to each other in that there are xp files that allow windows 7 to run lightly in the ram just like xp.
And btw you should be dine one home edition that's what I rooted my s3 from.

Hi,
I've a GT-N5110 and I was wondering if there's any Windows 10 emulator or if anyone tried to install on it. I couldn't find anything on the forum.
Tks!
Interesting Topic..
I will search for you on that and I will get back to you if I found anything.

Your best bet is a remote desktop to a windows PC. It actually works very well on the Note 8, with the pen.

Doesnt have someway to port this to other devices?
You can install windows directly onto your android device. But I wouldn't recommend it as it takes up allot of space.
Yes you can install windows xp https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389700
I tried to but it's very slow and anything works. I mean wifi bluetooth etc etc
