Nano-Sim card cloning - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I am needing to know first if a nano-sim card can be cloned (iphone 6) and if so which software i will need and also a good place to get a reader/writer besides alivegas (have had trouble with them in the past).

Dump Sim - Please Respond To This One

Quick Question
I just recently got the 8528 and it came with the phone, headphones (alhto my cat chewed them), disc, and the new sim card.
My old sim card is full of phone numbers. (I like keeping them on the sim card and not the phone)
Cingular said I needed to use the new sim card for 3g.
I was going to by a usb sim flasher so I could transfer my number over to my new one but I was wondering:
Is there any program for or on the phone that will allow me to dump my sim card and then put it on my new one? If not I'll buy the usb flasher but I was hoping there was...
Thanks all,
nomb
At least on a decent TyTN there is a "SIM Manager" which copies them to the PDA and vice versa. Have you tried it?
Thats what I'm using now just for the contacts, I was hopeing to be able to copy everything over at once. Like a backup -> restore type operation.
why dont you copy everything onto the device, then insert the new sim card and copy everything back to the card?

[Q] Micro SD not detected

This morning, my phone was normal. Using apps, making calls, no problems.
Then I noticed my ring tones and my notification tones wouldn't play. Since they are stored on the Micro SD card, I thought a reboot might solve the problem. After rebooting, I get the message "SD Card Damaged". So I took it out from my phone, plugged it into the computer through a USB MicroSD reader. It detects it, and from there I can see all the files stored on there.
I decided to run a Windows (7) error check test, as that usually fixes any sort of SD problem I've had. The check ran through successfully, saying it found some problems and fixed them. After that, I put it back in the phone, boot it up, but it still wouldn't access the card. Most of my apps are stored on there, so I wanted it fixed. I took out the card and ran it through windows error check once more, only this time, I checked the box "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" and hit start. Two hours later, I notice the progress bar hasn't budged from what I can only assume was 60-65%. I decided to hit "cancel" and look up some alternative methods.
Except as soon as I hit "Cancel", something went terribly wrong. The computer no longer acknowledged I had a MicroSD card inserted. I removed the USB adapter, removed the mSD, reinserted the mSD into the USB adapter, replugged the adapter in and -- same result. I restarted the computer, and while that cycle started, I placed the card back into the phone to see if it would detect it. No luck. By this time, the computer had restarted, and I tried to reinsert the card. It detects the USB Adapter, but it's as though there was no card inserted.
At this time, I scoured the web and countless forums (including these @ xda) with no avail. I tried nearly 10 different applications built solely for data extraction, but they all had the same problem: they couldn't detect the MicroSD card. My fellow I.T. coworker suggested using an Ubuntu Live CD and try their diagnostic tools; it couldn't detect it either.
Here are the specs of my setup:
Phone: HTC Desire CDMA (USCC)
Rom: Phoenix 1.4 BravoC
Card: Samsung 8GB Class 2 MicroSD (stock from US Celluar)​At this point, all I'm really concerned about it just retrieving my lost data. I have important sentimental photos, and more importantly, I have important flash backups from my stock rom that I would need if I want to return my phone for warranty. Physically, the card is undamaged. No dust, no cracks, no wear & tear. Hours of googling "SD card not detected; data recovery" leads me to several unanswered problems and fake websites baiting computer illiterate people into downloading malicious software.
I've heard of solutions that involve sending a card in to have repaired, but in turn, shelling out a couple hundred. Now I'm not stupid when it comes to computers, but I'm not necessarily a genius either. I've tried several ways to circumvent this lockout issue, and I can't find any way to undo a process from the Windows error checker. Hell, I can't find any cases or threads pertaining to people having bigger problems because of the error checker.
So I call out to anyone who can help. I can buy a new card, no problem. I just need my data back. It's crucial for my phone and important for me and my memories.
Any suggestions?
Hi
My phone:
Disire HD (GSM)
Android 2.3.3
CyanogenMod 7.0.0 RC2
I had the same problem as you a few weeks ago(my phone wasn't rooted) ....
Tried different methodes to get my data back, they all didn't work.
The problem is not the phone or any app on it neither your roms are the problem,
searched the internet... and came to the solution that I was not alone with this problem. they assume this is an hardware fould in the SD card ( btw its weird that its an Samsung SD, didn't you thought the same I still dont understand...)
Anyway, my solution was going back to the shop where I got the phone (Belcompany NL) and ask there solution for the problem i lost all my pics and other importand crap haha..
They didn't had a solution or something, just giving me a new one.. so I got a new SD Card (for free )
But lost all my data
You know if a partition messes up, which it has done because you didn't let it finish, there is like 0% chance that you can recover any data on your SD card. You should of backed your card up before you attempted to even start doing a disk check. As for getting your SD back up and running, you can try gparted live cd and see if it will detect it in that. If so just repartition it, but next time, let it do a thorough disk check and finish. Checks can take hours and hours because it is doing something. Just backup your SD card frequently.
I've decided to purchase a new card rather than hassle with unrooting my phone for the sake of going back to the USCellular repair (on just a whim that they may replace the card).
I've heard that I need to be careful when choosing a brand of MicroSD cards. Transcend is a no go. But what about this: An 8GB A-DATA Class 6 MicroSD card?
From what I've gathered, A-DATA is a reputable brand, and it shouldn't really cause problems in my HTC Desire, right?

[Q] Sd card unmounting

I have adata 16Gb class 10 card I order her trough ebay It's original for sure, and I have been using her for like half a year or so, and recently when my mobile shuts down (low battery) my mobile said blank card and and to format her. I have htc desire(amoled) I'm using Runnymede 6.1 stable ROM, and I don't think that has do to anything with my card blank, becouse it was happening on previous rom two but just so you know. Can someone please help my I tried full format ejecting card putting her back, and same thing, is my card dying ?
Did you check your card on a PC? Is it recognized and can you access it? If so, make a backup and try to check the card with on board tools (e.g. for Windows: http://www.ehow.com/how_6857598_check-sd-card-errors.html).
Alternatively, there are plenty of tools on the web, like
SDFormatter (https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/)
or
H2testw (http://www.heise.de/download/h2testw.html)
Good luck!
PS. A while ago, I also had some trouble with my Samsung 16GB Class 10 MicroSD. I formatted it again and had since no more issues.
When I format her (trough my phone usb becouse I don't have sd card reader) she is okay again and PC recognized her but after some time she did that again blank sd and that usually happends when my phone shuts down not by me but when battery is low even sometimes for some other reason, it's iritating becouse I have to format her and install ROM again.
Mmh, it is a little hard to tell whether the problem is solely down to your sd card or also to your phone, as long as you are not able to test the card outside the phone with a PC etc. Have you tried touse the PC tools in disk drive mode? According to this thread, H2testw works this way. You might also wanna try apps from google play/android market, e.g. 'SD Tools' or 'SD Card Tester'. I have not used any of those, so I can't tell if they are useful.
Finally, don't you have any opportunity to use a friend's PC or borrow a card reader? Nevertheless, I would strongly recommend you to buy a proper (from my experience the cheapest ones suck, e.g. are very slow, don't recognize some card formats) card reader, either a multi-format one or a microsd2usb one.
If you still have guarantee on your card, why not simply get a replacement by the reseller? I mean, if you can still access the card (at least for a while) then you should be able to create a backup and later restore it to a new card.

I run H2testw and no error found. I was planing to buy microsd card reader allInOne and that kind of reader I know that cheap one sucks, but I didn't have anything to put in until now I mean I still have my phone and card in it and when I connect it to PC I can format her so I don't know should I really bought that reader...I don't know about guarantee becouse I throw away that serial number that was on the case and with that serial number you can register on adata site and see If you still have guarantee but now I can't becouse I don't have it

Have you cloned a failing SD card that was formatted for internal storage?

Hey guys,
HTC 10 user. Not even a year into my 128GB MicroSD card's life and it's forcing write-protection. I think it's about to die. I can read off it. I can't write.
This SD Card was formatted as internal storage and is encrypted.
I bought a similar 128GB MicroSD card and I'd like to simply clone the image to the new SD card.
Has anyone SUCCESSFULLY done this?
I've attempted it and I pop in the new SD Card and it doesn't detect the card. It simply asks me to insert a card, like the card doesn't even exist.
I've actually tried TWO cloned 128GB cards - they aren't detected.
From what I can tell, I'm doing identical clones of the original MicroSD so I am not sure what I am missing. I'm using a cheapo freeware utility to do the clone in Windows. I don't have the utility name in front of me and I'm not home at the moment.
I have two more things I'd like to try, but I don't know if it's a futile effort: I'd like to try a dd clone from a linux live cd. I'd also like to try EaseUs clone utility, but I fear that's some kind of trial and I'm going to have to shell out some $$ to utilize it.
I know I can unload the original SD's contents to a PC, toss a new card in there, format, and start fresh...download all the play store, f-droid apps again, likely re-download all my audible books, drag my music back onto the card from the PC, and start a-new. That isn't my question, though.
I'm really wondering if I can clone an encrypted, internal-storage SD. I don't WANT to have to download my apps again. I don't want to have to rebuild caches and whatever else has been thrown onto my MicroSD.
Thanks!
I've done this before using clonezilla and it worked fine, no issues at all.
It's not as user friendly as a windows application probably.... but it gets the job done by doing an exact copy.
It even has a mode to keep reading on broken sectors (when you go into advanced mode), that way you can make the best copy possible.
You can read some instructions here
I did it directly from 1 card to another by inserting the source card into an adapter with the readonly slider lock thing to make sure I didn't write empty data to my source.
You can also first create an image from the source and then write the image to the new card.
Please keep in mind to not insert both cards at the same time when using Windows, it will crash Windows.
Windows doesn't understand that there could be 2 drives with the same ID's connected at the same time
