Does anyone know how to fix this? if not lets try to fix this coul be useful for many... Thanks!

Closely resembling the HTC Magician, the device is a 2.75G phone with a 2.8" 240x320 touchscreen, a 2.0 Megapixel Digital Camera, Bluetooth 2.0 without EDR (equivalent to version 1.2 with additional bug fixes), WiFi 802.11b/g, Infrared Technology, Microsoft Push email access, 128 MB internal memory and a full sized SD card slot (no SDHC support). It is based on the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Professional platform, and was among the first Pocket PC phones to use the operating system. It has Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. The phone also includes Pocket Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player 10 Mobile as well as some carrier or provider specific

which Nokia flip phones will reformat mSD?

My wife has a Nokia 6085 flip phone. I tried my microSD in it. Unfortunetly it will not unformat the card. Any advice on using this phone to reformat the card?
I have a 8GB Kingston C4 which I need to reformat. If I can ever find a way to realiably reformat these cards after having been locked to WP7, then I'll remove my Patriot 16GB C4, reformat it, and run it for numbers. But not going to remove a known working card when I do not have a way to reformat it. BTW, the Patriot is currently at: Total 22.12 GB;;; Available 10.25 GB. I'm going to keep loading it up until only 2 GB remain. So far have had no problems.

You're gonna need one that runs Symbian, as it's Symbian and not just Nokia that supports the secure digital standard. The N75 that I have that will notice a WP7 card is running S60, so you don't need an N8 running full-blown symbian^3, but you may at least need S60. You can check over at pdadb.net and search by OS to see a list of everything that has ever run Symbian. Best of luck!

[Q] List of Symbian phone in the US (SD card format)

Does anyone know of a Nokia/Symbian phone available in the US to unlock WP7 formatted cards? I went to T-Mobile yesterday and they didn't have any Nokias on display. I would like to have my card usable again.

the nokia N8 or any symbian phone running the same version os, you cannot unlock the card, just format. I brough my microsd alive yesterday using the N8, i dont have the phone, but i have many friends who works as promotors for nokia, samsung, LG etc. so i tried the N8 yesterday.
the instructions.
you can put the microsd hotswap or have the phone turned off,
the phone will detect the microsd, and ask for a passwork/id (after it's been in a windows phone, the microsd will be locked, and as normal you wont have the password/id).
press cancel.
in the main menu, goto applications, and select office, file mgr.
after you press file mgr., you will have 3 drives to choose from, the last one should be the microsd, and it should'nt show any figures of the size of the usage.
press and hold, you will have 2 options to choose from.
unlock microsd and format.
select format.
that it.

Nokia dumb phones also use Symbian right? Would the ATT Nokia 6350 work as well?

i think symbian ^3 only, you can try them on others, it may work, but have'nt tried it.

I doubt a regular Nokia phone will work. I tried a Nokia flip phone & it asks for a password, but when you cancel it didn't let me format the card. I went through every menu option without luck.

N8 and C5 works, tried them myself, c6 and C7 should also work, or the latest touch screen in the C series.

The Sony Vivaz will also format. And BTW... I put my microsd card into laptop (using adapter) and after multiple tries it did actually format !

How did you get your laptop to even see the card? My PC won't even acknowledge that I've but the card in the slot, much less offer to reformat.
I have a perfectly good 16gb Sandisk that is useless since I exchanged my Focus for a Captivate on Newyears Eve.
Any info appreciated.

I did it on my HP Laptop with Vista OS. Could it be that I lucked out ? It was a Sandisk 32GB MicroSD card (no class type printed on card). I have also heard that many digital cameras can format them so try that as well. And even worst case try this puppy...

sd formatter does not work.

Well... it was only a shot at it. And only a guess, but Android phones have a nice utility built in to format micro sd cards as well.
Put the card into Android based phone (2.2 version), then Settings>SD card and phone storage>Format SD card
May work, may not but there are many alternatives to get the card to format. Just keep trying. Like I said, I was lucky enough that my laptop did format after having the card in my Samsung Focus.
Edit: Also note that XP and Vista have some issues. Read article 40, 41, 42 from this list ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#cite_note-39
You could also try a laptop or computer running Windows 7.

corrupted SD card by WP7

I got this Surround from one of my client who went to a local phone servicing centre and ended up buying like 3 sd cards . The point is the curropted cards could not be found on my Win7 pc normally as well as using mini partition tool on my EVO , Desire HD , etc .
Finally read some where about accessing the file on Nokia , there i went putting it on a Nokia Express music and VIOLA .. i could format it ...
Just starting this thread for people to know about it ...

Port Firmware from Nokia 105 to L8Star BM10??

Hello,
I wanted to ask you if any of the pros here know how hard it would be to put the firmware from the Nokia 105 on the L8star BM10 mini phone? They have both exactly the same SOC (Mediatek MT6261) so I think it yould be possible to get the firmware of the Nokia to run on the L8star?
I am new so I cannot post links here, so if you want to see Pictures from the phones, search for Nokia 105
and L8star BM10.
I think the biggest problem will be that the display of the BM10 is completely different than that from the Nokia 105 (BM10: 0,66" 48x64 OLED Monochrome) (Nokia 105: 1,8" Color, 120x160)
The other data of the phones are (except of the size) virtually the same, keypad, dual sim micro sd card slot. But the BM10 has no vibration Motor, the Nokia 105 does as far as I know.
So what does the pros here think, would it be possible to see a Nokia firmware on a 9$ Phone from China?
Or would be there a way to add some features to the original L8star BM10 Firmware? But I think this will be difficult because we dont have the source code. There would be things like support for NTFS file system on the Micro SD card, actually the firmware can only handle FAT32, but if you want to use the phone as a usb stick too (That works if you have a big micro SD card installed) you will have with FAT32 always the problem that you cannot store files larger than 4Gb.

The SOC is the same but firmware and baseband differs.
