Hello, I have been searching for answers regarding my 16gb sandisk SD card that I have recently removed from
My windows phone (HTC surround) and I know that the
Only way to format it is to use another windows phone
Running symbian. Well I don't have a symbian is based
Phone or computer access and I was wondering if
Anyone has found a way to format the SD card using
Android yet . please help I still haven't found any way
To get around this and I just know in my heart there is
A way. Any help at all would be appreciated, even if the
Answer is there is no answer. Please look into this for

Hello,
I am new to this forum and appologize if I have missed an answer to this question.....
I have an SX56 that I just flashed ROM 3.04 and windows mobile 2003 SE
I am now unable to read any sd cards that I insert into the slot, I figure it is a driver issue, that should be easy to fix but like I said I am a newbie and could be wrong... When I go into Memory> storage card it says not installed. I double checked with a couple of different cards...
What have I done wrong?
Thanks,
JNL1105
if the rom is still on the sd card it need to be formatted with a program like
storage mechanic
or something like that
I actually upgraded through the usb sync and not with the sd card.
Did a bunch of playing around and did a couple of registry mods. and such and now it sees the cards... so it resolved its seelf so to speak....
So I have already been searching the forums for my problem, but I could not find a solution (taking into account the amount of posts about WP7/Android dual booting it is, however, possible that I missed the one containing the solution for my problem. So please forgive me for creating a new thread then ).
I finally bought a 16GB SD for my HD2 and partitioned it correctly. Both WP7 and Android work as they are supposed to be, BUT Android won't recognize the 8GB SD partition it is stored on. So I can only access the 1GB linux filesystem of my ROM build and it won't let me take photos or accept bluetooth transmission. The Panasonic formater does solve the problem, but then deletes the WP7 partition. So is there a way to format my Android partition so that it will be recognized by Android without destroying the WP7 partition?
Thanks in advance for all answers!
look over here
Thanks alot. It did the job
Hi,
i installed windows 7 on HTC HD2 and i am unable to locate extrenal memory
16GB ScanDisk Memory,
appreciate if anyone can give me step by step instruction how to go about it
or if there is a patch i need to install
only thing you need to install is a proper sd-card and this card has to be inside the phone during the first boot... please search the forums, it was been discussed a hundred times...
mine sandisk class 4 16 GB..works great..i think u should try this card..nothing problem till now..
Reset the phone with the sd card in it
If you are looking for separate external memory , you will not find it ....
WP7 uses the whole SD card as "Phone Memory" , unless you do some voodoo that you find here on the forums ...
In Zune does it show 16gb of storage?
hi,its my 2nd day having a hd2.
I think my card isnt comaptible to wp7
its a Rdata class 6 16gb card.
I bought a used t-mobile hd2 running on stock wm6.5
and decided to dual boot on wp7 and android
the thing is when I installed LEO70 ROM everything went well.
no reboots or anything like that showing incopability of the sd card.
BUT, apparently when I was going to prepare the sd card for partitioning as I read on guide I followed.
my card reader wont pick up my 16gb rdata class 6 card. OUCH!
even my old nokia phone rejects it and says its unformatted blah blah blah.
plugged it in again on the hd2 then went to zune and zune says 0 free space.
plugged the sd card again on a card reader and still no go.
tried another card reader and still it wont pick it up.
then tried another card reader.
this time it reads but for minutes and minutes for scanning.
no drive letter.nothing.
tried a 8gb card and ALL the reader picks up.
opened sdcard formatter and it wont pick up my sd card.
MAGDLR 1.13 wont recognize it too. all I head is the sound of a hardware being connected to the pc and that's it
please someone help me here.
I will be so glad if you could help me with this problem
I wont go back to wp7 again after I resolve this.the sd was working
how DO I revive the sd card for other use?if I canr use it for wp7
I dont wanna waste another card trying though.
note: Im currently downloading a stock t-mobile MR 3.14.531.1.exe
is this safe?and if I successfully install this will winmo 6.5 be able to format my sd? please I dont have extra money to buy another card cause all of my sd cards are being used by other phone.
thanks in advance
Get yourself a copy of SDFormatter. Put the card into your PC and run this free utility. You should then be able to do a complete format through Windows.
Your sd card is not compatiable. There are many threads in xda about this and how to format, copy partitions etc. THis thread is also useful giving you links for partition/format utility http://www.techienote.com/tag/technology
Format your card and use it for something else. Have a read of the threads in the wp7 hd2 forums, there are a few threads about which cards reported that work, I use a transcend 8gb class 6, works well.
ok thanks will try reading more
and by the way I have sd formatter but it really wont pick up my sd haha
ok thanks will try reading more
and by the way I have sd formatter and easeus but it really wont pick up my sd haha
what a shame.
another wasted money
Was reading earlier somewhere on here and they were talking about a low level formatter. Then format it using regular tools. What ever that is not sure but apparently it fixes some of these problems.
Sent from my hd2 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
hi everyone after flashing wp7 now i need to return to android. the problem is that this time i used my 8gb sandisk sdcard instead of th 2gb one and now i can't restore it. all the other times i was able to repair it with sd formatter, this time windows doesn't recognize it correctly, so sdformatter can't format it. my nikon camera tells me that the sd isa damedged , so i can't restore it in this way too. any ideas?

I actually just fixed my sd cards today. I ultimately had to go to a store that had a nokia E71 and reformat the cards with the built in symbian OS. No pc or any other device would recognize the cards before I reformatted with the nokia. I think there is also a way by reflashing WP7 with the card inside, then make sure not to do any updates. You then pull the sd card and reformat in a PC.
Hope this helps
do you think that an e65 will work the same? probably my dad has still got his old one
thanks a lot!

Not sure man, I know that you have to do it through the file explorer that's built in, otherwise it will try and ask you for a password before formatting. As long as it's running the latest symbian you should be fine

Theres a list on this thread for confirmed devices that format wp7 corrupt sd card check it out.
If is doesnt, whilst you have wp7 installed send the storage unlock.cab to phone then send 1gb partition cab reset the phone from about..check if partition took effect first..press storage unlock on homepage tile .turn phone off your pc should recognise the sd card in sd card adapter for example it should read 7gb instead of 8gb use easeus partition tool to fully reformat..good luck
