hello..i want to ask u guys about the SD ..
someone told me that the SD will not work in any other device but the u r using..
is that true?
thx
well no unless you are somehow using the nativ encryption in the card then unless the password or whatever are using the card cant be used never heard anybody using it though
so if i changed my device (i'm using an i-mate) in the futrue to nokia or whteer can i still use the same SD ?
yep the nokia of cause would not be able to read ½ the data if it was written for the imate
i mean if it was like that there would be no such thing as a sdcard reader which many of us use to get data to the sdcards
Yeah in your case the different operating systems from iMate and Nokia means the data (files saved) on the SD card would be different but the SD hardware is compatible to both.
That allows us to use more than one card in our digicams, ppc's etc and swap them around as we like.
Ed
ok what can i do to get my data saved on the SD (from the i-mate) on other operating systems ?
even the images like JPG won't work?
thx
I'd suggest you could try to copy the files you want from the SD card to your PC, then format the SD card in your new device, then copy the files back to the SD.
Ed
so lets say my i-mate is broken.,,
and i havn't copy my data to the pc..
and try to put the sd on other device...will it work?
even if its on a ppc?
If the device you try to read it in has the same operating system as the device which write to the SD in the first place then yes. For example I'm pretty sure any PPC will read an SD card written to by another PPC.
Or if it was written to by a PPC then you can also read it in a windows based PC using an SD card reader.
Ed
aha..
but i don't think that the data like JPG's and AVI's , MPEG's....etc will not work?
will it work?
and thx again

I have a ORANGE SPV M5000 with an SD card 2GB.I'm byuing a new card with 4 GB.How do i transfer the data from the old to the new card,in order to keep all the software i have installed on the storage card ? Can i simply copy the content to the new one via computer or card reader,or do i have to "clone" it,with some kind of backup software ?
A simple copy should do the trick just fine.
The only time there is a problem transferring something from one card to another is when you have a program that is locked on the cards serial number (like a nav program).
Although as far as I know such programs always come on their own SD so it is unlikely you installed anything like that.
No,i didn't install anything like that. Thanks for your help,would be bad if i had to install everything all over again
Thanx again
I am using the Darkforce ROM of WM 6.1, after I insert a SD in my Universal, I found that aa file generated automatically called "EncFiltLog.menc". It will continuous exist no matter I deleted it or not.
Anyone know what is "EncFiltLog.menc"??
By the way, I am using Transcend 16GB SDHC. Today, I found that my PPC can't detect it suddenly, I tried to insert it on my NB, but there are some files halt! When I double click it and wait for a moment, a messege box appear and say there are some problem about I/O device. No any device can detect my card now, anyone know what's the issue? I even can't format it now...
Please HELP!!
THANKS YOU VERY MUCH!
.menc files
.menc files are encrypted files.
When you set the option to encrypt files (Start\Settings\System\Encryption) then anything new that is saved to your SD card will be encrypted (and will have this extension - although this extension doesn't appear when viewing from the device that encrypted the files).
To read the file, you must view it via your device. (You can view/transfer it onto your PC via active sync from the device that encrypted it).
If you have reflashed your device without backing up your SD via active sync, then I don't think there is any way of recovering the file . (NB. I copy everything from my SD card to my computer before reflashing, and then copy it all back again ).
Hi my friend!
I had the same issue but with things 4.1 ROM. I don't know how, but i tried every day to format my sd card, and after 5 days it worked I have also this file in the root... It's the encryption file i think...
Mine was a 2GB panasonic SD not an SDHC... Keep trying!
Thanks for all reply!
But I found that I haven't tick the option of"Start\Setting\System\Encryption" , but the file still exist! I don't know why...
Any my SD issue....
I an using this ROM for few weeks already, but not newly flashed. My SD have no problem before. Haven't backup the datas is my mistake! I am so regreted. My SD is now can't detect from all device, and I can't format it also.
ALL DATAS ARE LOST!! Just wanna cry!
damaged sd-card!
Hi! Had the same problem with my new kaiser. Also thought about problem of ROM or the device itself. But it was just the SD-Card itself. Bougth a new one - no probs anymore...
any true solutions to this?
I have this same problem, so the only way to fix it is to get a new card?
Step By Step To Delete File EncFiltLog.menc (EFLG.m)
1) Insert your SD into Card Reader Cut EFLG.m
2) Paste insde your PC
3) Defrag your SD card
4) Select Option Tools>Folder Options>View Select Show hidden file
5) Now you can see new folder ie File 0000
6) Delete the folder
7) Now your SD card become as original
I read somewhere (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2718217&postcount=9) that the hidden file "EncFiltLog.menc" is stored on every SD-Card by WindowsMobile weather encryption is activated or not.
So it should be no problem to have it on the card - as long as everything works.
Hi Guys
Well I successfully rooted and isntalled a new ROM thanks to thehelpful members on this site and the guides.
I have now purchased a 32GB Micro SD to replace the 4GB in the Desire.
My question is, how do I copy the old stuff to the new card? Just copy and paste or are there hidden files etc which will require a clone?
Will all my apps work as before after changing the card?
Hope to hear back from you soon
Fat32 or NTFS?
thanks for the feedback, will try this when I get home.
Wasnt aware of the fake cards on eBay till I bought one and eBay canceled the auction!
I have purchased this from Amazon, class 4 32Gb for £40, hope its a real one.
Thanks again
ok another stupid question.
If windoes cant see the drive, how do I get 4gb of data from my old card to my new card as I cant put them both in my phone at the same time??
So just to clarify
To install a new memory card:-
I need to install Android SDK
I also need Java SDK to run Android SDK
I then need ADB to run commands to access the android
and then something called Cyanogen?
damn windows is so eay compared to this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So now I have to get a new pc or partition this one to dual boot to enable me to run an OS I have never used in my life?
Is this really the only way to copy 2.5gb of files from one card to another?
1. Just do a nandroid + ext backup
2. Copy all files from SD to PC
3. Insert new card
4. Copy all files from PC to new card through recovery
5. Do a nand restore
Done.

Cheers for that, I have checked the nadroid back up docs and it says
"By fully back up, I don’t mean backing up just your address book or your emails, or your dog. I mean EVERYTHING that resides on your phone with the exception of the SD card"
So I can backup everything except my card which is what I wanted to back up in the first place?
Cant seem to find a way to back up the SD card to the PC to install a new SD card and restore from the pc
tried to create partition FAIL
tried to create partion in windows FAIL
tried to load with ROM manager get E: e signature verification failed
So am I to assume my brand new 32gb card is FUBAR?
Im a little confused on how to change SD Cards too.
My partner has a Legend with only 2gig card, will swap this for a 4gig SD Card.
Can I just exchange cards in the phone, format new card in phone and then copy all files from old card to new with my windows PC?
If the mobile creates the file system structure on the SD Card and I copy the files over to it is that fine?
Thanks

Does anyone have the definitive answer on this please?
Even with copy and paste on the new card, you copy 3.6gb to the pc and then 400mb goes back the other way, all folders are EMPTY
Hello i have one problem ... i have 16gb micro sd card and i cant format it .. if i format in pc .. all files is gone .. but if i take it in mobile(htchd2) all deleted files are back ... i cant copy anything or delete .. if format in mobile .. says cant delete ... unable to complete ...
please for answer how to result it ... thx for help
(sorry for bad english)
Seems like the format does not turn out very well. Please tell me, what file system are you formatting to? And are you sure your phone does support 16GB micro sd cards? If all else fails you could try a third party partition manager (Partition magic, acronis) to format the card. Even better would be to format it using linux, this works most of the time.
in pc i have win 7 ... formating (think FAT32) and i was use that card before im usin it about 1year ... in that time is everything ok ... but now i cant format ... (my phone support 32gb cards.) its HTC hD2 ( something info about phone ..) SPL 2,08 hspl 8g xe ... i before used AMandroid 2.3.4 cyan...
hmm ok, I suggest you try to use partition magic (you can find it using torrent networks etc. like thepiratebay.org). For some reason your pc just does not format it correctly which is highly unusual. So, in conclusion, if your pc and your phone do not want to format it like it's supposed to. Try using some third party software.
Also, isn't it sufficient to just delete all the files on the card? If so, use your phone to do this, it might also work and it would be the easiest option.
i try many programs ... but dont any effect ... and i try delete by ... MAGLDR v1.13 but nothing ... card maybe locked... ?? it is?? i try next day unlock it by reduction or i buy new card .... its esiest way .. to result it ...

Warez isn't tolerated here.
You can try and delete the partition in windows disk management. Right click my computer, manage. If you still have issues it's almost certainly a duff card.

Bump for this
I am having the same problem. I have a 32gb micro sd card that Im trying to use but I cant delete anything off of it or put any files on it. When I do try to delete items, it takes the time to delete the files and then removes them from the list, but when the card is put back into my phone the files are still there.This is also the case when I try to add music. The computer will take time to write the files, but in the end no new files are created
I have tried using windows to format it as well as SanDisks formatter. I also did a check disk in windows command prompt but no errors were returned.
It should also be noted that when I tried to reformat with Sandisks reformatter, I was using the adapter in my sd card slot and it said that the card was locked and to slide the switch. I tried it with a different card reader and the same error occurred. when I put the card into the phone it was "able to" reformat it. but the same problem is occurring.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
stupid questioN; but do you have activated some kind of write protection? ^^

It fixed my SD-Card
Big problem. I have a Lexar 32gb sd card and today it seems to have went corrupt.
I noticed it when my ring tone change from a song to default. if i put the sd card in my PC and try to read from it it says card needs to be formated. Please tell me there is a way to recover the info on the card??? when i put the sd in the phone it says preparing then says safe to remove sd card.
TIA
JC
Hopefully just a format is all you need. I lost a 32g USB drive recently, and fortunately Corsair has great warranty service.
Sent from my Bricked Energy Sensation.
My wife's sensation did the same thing, I had to take out the SD and put it into my SD card reader on my laptop, format it and then put it back in the phone. The phone then wanted to format it again which it did and now it seems fine.
By the way, the data was intact when I put it in my SDcard reader. I was able to back up the data before I formatted it.
He said he wanted to recover the files on the SD card, not how to get the **** thing working.
You might want to check if all of the connections are clean. If they're not, a format the ****-error is likely to happen. Pure alcohol might do the trick.
If it doesn't, you could search Google or the forums for terms like 'recover corrupted micro SD'.
Good luck!
Edit: Maybe this guide does the trick?
I've an other question. I made the mistake to format my SD card with CWM and now it's only a 4 GB card (it should be 8 GB). Does someone know how I can force format it to 8 GB (with Windows or Mac OS disk utility, I can't expand the size anymore, just reformat it) ?
you can use sdformatter, a great and simple tool for those types of things, or you can download easus partition manager, its free and pretty good software for drive management.
If you want to make a linux disc, such as Ubuntu, gparted is one of the best tools available for examining, repartitioning, flagging, and fixing disks. I believe you can just download gparted and boot it from a CD or flashdrive, but I think just downloading a linux distribution is easier.
