Yeah somebody should test this out to see if it works. The only problem is that the WP7 formatted cards aren't even recognized by the system so maybe this might not work.
Doesn't work. Won't even see SD cards that aren't locked. Something to keep in mind (and this goes for everyone unintentionally giving false hope) is that 99% of all of these tools rely on the computer being able to see the card. These cards are locked in such a way they cannot be seen.

Format SD
If your just wanting to format a card that was in a WP7 device I have found that any Symbian3 phone and format back to where any device and computer can use, on as for saving any data i haven't found a way yet.

Once again scan disc let me down, im back on my trusty 8gig samsung card.
My point being about making this thread, is there any way to recover the cards data?
I know this has been asked before, but heres the the details-
* the card cannot be accessed or detected in a card reader
* in the phone the card can be detected but it wont let me unmount/ mount or format the card
The card literly just died, no factors such as power issues via readers, water or temp.
Totally gutted as theres pics on there i really wanted to keep
Hiya
Not sure if it will work, but try putting it into another phone or a digital camera and see if its recognised by those, if it is you will probably have the option to then format it, once formatted it should then be recognised by windows.
Devices such as mobile phones dont normally do a low level format, meaning you could then use a 3rd party software such as Easus data recovery to recover your info.
I've had major issues with SD cards in my DHD, the phone just refuses to "see" any card at all, tried 3 different ones in total ;(
not sure how it'll work if it can't be seen by your reader though.some readers won't read sdhc cards,so maybe try a different reader(a friends)
http://www.petapixel.com/2010/10/13/how-to-recover-deleted-photos-from-a-memory-card-with-photorec/
No joy in either card reader or camera, i guess i lost everything?
Im so pissed and gutted!
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=173933
This is what i brought and where i got it from, i be honest i couldnt give a crap about getting a replacement im just gutted i lost the data on the existing one!
This weekend I was driving along and my CoPilot stopped working. Then I noticed that a couple of other apps weren't working and that the camera said it wouldn't take photo's until I inserted the SD card. I've had an 8GB card in there for the last 18 months.
Taking the card out of the phone and putting it in the PC does nothing. The PC at first says the card needs formatting but if you say yes it just says, insert a card.
I took some pictures at a friends Stag Party and I really need to get these pics off the card. I don't care about anything else.
I've tried a few of these "recover your images from a corrupted or formatted card" programs but they all require the card to be visible to the PC for them to work.
Has anyone get any ideas? Please help me
You could try a differnt card reader/different pc and hope that it works then, but tbo if its borked then with paying lots for data recovery, I'd say your out of luck
Sadly, I think you might be right. Looks like that card has gone to silicone heaven to be with all the calculators.

I would try every usb plug you have on your computer. i had the same problem and i kept at it. it took me several days to finally get it to work & to be honest im not sure why/how it did but i was thankful none the less.
i used this program & like i said i just kept trying. what worked 4 me was i held the card in the computer but only half way which the computer then was able to see the card. if you format the card you will lose everything on it so if you want pics off it & you format it you wont be able 2 recover them.

Thanks for the advice I'll give it a shot.
I thought at least if I could get it formatted then I could use some picture recovery software to get the pics back. It's so frustrating because there are only about 10 pics that I'm even bothered about. Everything else it backed up
hopefully that program will let you see that card, it did with mine eventhough though computer wouldnt. odd i know. i wouldnt apply or mess around to much with that program if you dont know what your doing because you can make it more difficult to regain your images. i gave the link 4 version 5 but i used version 6. i couldnt find it earlier 2 post, sorry. they do have a data recovery program that i used as well but ill have to hunt it down 1st & then i'll post the link.
i bought a hacked 16gb memory stick off ebay (!%$#@&$) that became corrupted and i was able to recover some of my files using the programs below. hope this will help you out.
MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 6.0
MiniTool Power Data Recovery
Thanks a lot man. I'd managed to find those from your first link. In fact, Partition Wizard actually suggests the 2nd program if the first one doesn't find anything
I've run Partition Wizard against it. It took all night after starting it at about 9pm it finished at 8am this morning. It thought my 8GB card was a 2TB drive but hey, at least it could see something which is more than any other tool.
I didn't find anything using that one but I'm going to try the Power Data Recovery tonight. Fingers crossed.

For starters some cards are simply not compatible with WP7.
You should try and make sure that your card is properly formatted before flashing. Use Panasonic SDFormatter to format your card..
FULL>Overwrite.
Size adjustment ON.
Format the card and then try again, If it doesnt work still then you need to use another card. There is a supported card thread in WP7 forum.

you probably would have more luck if you put this in the HD2 WP7 forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=975
you would also find that a quick search wil give you the answer as there are more threads on SD card issues than there are anything else
however because you are new an that was your first post im not going to be a complete arse!
the SD card issue is probably the single biggest issue with WP7 on the HD2.
Im not going to go in to details, but the the basics are as follows,
some cards will work, some cards dont, there is no list, but statistically you stand a better chance with a class 2 or 4 card
other than that there is nothing you or anyone else can do, its Luck, pure an simple.
there is a small chance that you can format the card and have some success, look for the panasonic SD formatter, use it and completely format the card.
It might help but it probably wont.

Oo, ya just beat me too it! but there is no reliable list
Thanks all for the answers
First I will format the card and see what happen. If still doesn't see the card I will buy a new one.
How can I know which SD Card class I already have?
Sorry about my post in the wrong place I will take care next time
have a nice day guys

it ususally tells you on the card its self, a wee number in the corner, some older / OEM cards may be blank, in this case there isnt much you can do to tell, if you can find the model number on it you could google it and see if anyone has posted the spec, perhaps there is a way to view the spec on a PC, ive never tried.
if you do end up buying one just be careful, dont buy anything you cant afford to have sit around gathering dust, there is no way of knowing if it will work until you try it, and even then there is the possibility of it being unstable, random restarts is the most common but there is a whole bunch of stuff that has been put down to dodgy SD cards.
what id suggest is coming back to us (on the WP7 forum) with what you have found, but use one of the many many many threads that are already there, we get a bit touchy when someone opens yet another SD card thread
stick to class 2 or 4 dont go for anything that goes on about ultra fast blar blar, probably go no higher than 8GB just now, as the cost starts to jump up after that and as i said, there is a very real chance that it will either A, not work, or B have issues.
once you get a working one though it is trully very very fast!
Hi Guys! Recently my DVP felt down and the LCD is crashed so I would like to make a use of its SD card. Here I encountered some problems. Non of the card readers wants to open this card. It even doesn't show up as a mounted device (Debian). Is it somehow locked or so ? When I pack it back to DVP it works still fine. Any ideas how to format it to make use of it ?
Regards
I have the same exact issue as you!!
Dropped my DVP and cracked the screen. Still turns on, but can't see anything as the LCD is dead.
None of my card readers read the card. I have other SDHCs which open perfectly.
I would also like to know if there is some way to force format it.
My card reader drive on my laptop does not show up unless a card is inserted. Since it isn't reading the card, nothing is showing up.

This is a known issue, All windows phones lock the SD card and format it in an unreadable format.
There used to be a list in the HD2 WP7 section with devices that can reformat the SD card. (I believe nokia phones are among them).
Thanks man!

You need a newer Nokia Symbian phone, ex E71.
Trying to get my hand on one.
Similar issue like in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/help/sd-card-problems-moto-x-pure-t3447789
But even worse. The external SD card suddenly vanishes from phone, now it only shows up shortly after phone re-starts, then the external SD card will disappear again. Don't know what's wrong. Then I put a new SD card, it happens like that after I used it for two days. The external SD card is used as portable storage.
When I tried to format the SD card when phone just started, it fails to do so, then it disappears.
I took both SD cards to Windows computer, they show up correctly and I can copy the files out from them. However, I cannot format them, they give out error: the exFAT card is writable protected. How a micro-SD card is locked for writing?
Tried to search online, but couldn't figure out how to solve the issue. It seems to me the phone has some issue with the card and changed the card somehow.
Can anyone help?
Thanks a lot!
I've had similar issues with SD cards that were going bad - weird, inconsistent behavior. Do you have another SD card you can test the phone with to confirm it isn't a rom or tray problem?
I once had a card that would work fine in TWRP, fine in a PC w/ adapter, but just show up as removed and added over and over again in a rom. Had another that could be read, but not written or formatted. It was full of music, but music players could only play about 5 seconds then they'd skip to the next song. Both of these cards failed in short order after starting this flaky behavior.
Based on my experience, I'd say recover your data and RMA if it is an option. Having microSD to supplement storage is convenient, but those things are cheap for a reason.

Thanks, I've tried the second one(which works perfectly before I put in the phone) already, it ends up as the same bad state. I am afraid to brick the third SD card I throw into there...but I will try another one later.
I should have read more carefully. I wouldn't throw a third card at it if you've already tried two and had the same result.
Is this with the stock rom?

Yes, stock ROM, but I did root the phone.
I tried to contact Moto support and request a repair, funny enough it didn't go through because I don't have US address, which I did and put it right there!
For test, I put another small capacity card in the phone again to see what's going to happen...It might be the card, but two cards in a row...and they are different brand...Anyway, Lexar card will replace my card without trouble. But I still want to know if it's the phone's problem...Will see.

Be interesting to see if the small card behaves. If it is <32 gb it is probably fat32.
Some of the problems I described above started after letting an old phone format a high capacity card that started out as exfat to fat32. Some people say they do it and it is not a problem, but I tried formatting one 64 gb card from exfat to fat32 and broke it twice. Once using a phone and the second time using a laptop and gparted. Manufacturer did replace it both times. Left as exfat I'm still using the same card in my XT1575 several years later.

Just thought I would chime in and say since you unlocked your bootloader moto legally will not offer a repair unless you pay for it since you're warranty is now null and void.

Now I put 4GB card there, it works fine now, need to wait for a few days. My original cards are 64GB, both were formatted as exFAT, now both say being locked fro writing(what...the micro SD card is locked for writing...I want to know how...)
