Formatting memory card - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development

i need a software that can format my qtek 9100 memory card as there is no option on my ppc that offers to or allows me to format it. so pleaze let me know.

get the sdformatter from panasonic. It works perfectly and properly. Since you have an HTC Wizard, Make sure to format it in either FAT12 if 512mb or under or FAT16 if over 512mb. This is the proper formatting per the specifications.
Also, please make sure that you do NOT have an SDHC card. If you do, please return it, and buy a regular SD card.

can i install this software on my qtek 9100 or is it for my pc?

It is for your PC. There is a formatter around somewhere that will run on the PPC, but I don't remember the name of it. It was included in a rom I ran long ago.

maaaan, well if u do remember it or so then please drop me a line a'ight.

I don't know of any PPC app that can format a card (never needed one), but if your problem is that you don't have a card reader then you can run WM5Storage on your phone. It'll make your card look like it was a USB flash drive when you connect the phone to your computer via USB, instead of running ActiveSync.
This makes your phone act as a card reader and you can format the card as a usual drive (on Win, you need to right-click the drive in My Computer and there's formatting option there).
Not exactly what you wanted, but might help.

Oh nice! I had never used WM5Storage, even though it has been included on many of the roms I have run over the 2 years I have had my phone. Good to know!

512MB Sandisk Ultra SD not recognized after formatting

I flashed my Wallaby with this SD-Card according to the instructions given in the Wiki. I formatted the SD-Card then with the Wallaby and again on the PC (both FAT and FAT32). It works perfectly on the PC (Notebook Samsung Q25 embedded card reader), but does not do so on the Wallaby: The device does recognizes something (PHMTools AutoPlay recognizes it when I remove and add the SD Card), but the explorer/TotalCommander does not see it. I have tried Pocket Mechanic, but it does not see it either.
Interestingly, when I connect the SD Card to my Laptop using an external card reader (Datalux DLX-1614), it the SD Card does not work either: When I try to format it with the Windows XP software, it states the card has 800 MB (!) and does not provide any possibility to format it.
I think the SD card is "somehow" formatted so that the sophisticated Samsung Cardreader recognizes it, but the others do not. I need a good formatting program for Windows XP which solves the problem and would be grateful for any recommendation.
Has anybody ever had a similar problem?
Thank you very much in advance.

X7510 MicroSD via USB to PC ?

Hi, just got my x7510 a few days ago. Its going to replace my laptop.
But I have a slight problem. When I connect the X7510 as a mass-storage device only the inbuilt flash drive (16GB) shows up but the memory card doesnt. How do I make that show up ? And not via Activesync but as mass-storage.
Thanks for helping in advance !
what version of windows are you running?
also ever tried wm5 storage? you can use it to select hard disk or memory card as the pass through device for usb mass storage
it only grumps if a program is holding access to the device
eg: today plugin using storage card as it's home and has open files being used.
also known as file locking, same as windows
t works fine on my x7500 (ameo)

there is a registry setting you can alter to make the sd card the mass storage device
search on the athena forum as it was mentioned in the wm5storage thread I think
whoops cyberjack is right
The registry setting was for usb to pc
change the settings "USB to PC"
on ameo16gb you can switch settings from ActivesSync to Mass Storage without change registrykeys

Yes but what he wants is to use the sd card as the mass storage device instead of the default SSHD
WM5torage works but its slow. 1MB/s only.
Suggest you give this a try... works great on my 7510.

This may be in the settings/system tab and is a lot faster but you may have to do a registry change
have a look in advanced config 3 to see if it can be changed there easily
storage card problem
i inserted a mini sd on x7510 i went to view documents on there it dosent show anything the x7510 dosent know the card is there
If you open File Explorer and navigate to My Device, can you see Storage Card in the folder tree? If so can you open the tree to see your documents?
If so, I can't see any reason why Office Mobile won't pick them up. If not, there may be a problem with either the MiniSD card, or the card slot. Which document types are you opening? For instance, if you have an Excel file in your MiniSD card, open Office Mobile/Excel then at the top of the screen tap the Folder list and select 'All Folders' to see if it picks the file up. This works fine on my X7510
Format the miniSD card with your PC

Take out the miniSD card, slot it into your laptop and format it to FAT or FAT32 and insert back into the X7510.

This was a very old thread, and the problem was answered to an extent!
The OP didn't have a problem with the X7510 seeing the MiniSD card- he wanted Windows to see it on the PC when connected as a Disk Drive rather than activesync. By default, Disk Drive connectivity sees the flash disk not the MiniSD.
There is a registry hack to change this, but the easiest answer is to use WM5torage which can be set to see either.
viewing files
i inserted a sd card in my x7510.but dont know how to view the files from the device.when i go to programs it shows flash disk and device programs
it says oper9
when i enter it it says opera9.storage card.it says the same thing even if theres no sd card inserted

16 GB Micro SD on the X7510...does it work ???

The 16 GB Micro SD on the X7510...does it work ???
If yes, any comment as to speed especially on watching videos and playing music. I have my X7510 setup that all my necessary files and programs were installed in my Flash Disk, so the only thing that is going in the Micro SD card is music and videos.
It is also cheap now... at Amazon it only cost 63 USD.

I have had some troubles with Sandisk 16 micro SDHC (via a converter to mini, of course), purchased about a month ago. After two weeks of joy it just decided to disappear all files on it. Yesterday I have got a replacement, will see what happens.
The user manual say SD card, not going into details, so SDHC may be a problem, although SDHC for X7510 is mentioned most everywhere else.
If you got some hard facts, pls. let me know too, and vice versa.
Cheers.

Do you use WM5torage? Because on my X7510, that software does not work properly. Does not matter what version I use. It might be the culprit on yours.

Nope, I use either the regular ActiveSynch or connect using that second option
(settings/connections/USB to PC/ Disk Drive). I am quite unhappy with both, in fact - the first is too slow and fails unpredictably when large volume are copied, the second shows only the Flash Disk and tends to mess up the HTC when you disconnect.
So I have decided today to try out the nueMassStorage:

Anything to be aware of re the SDHC card?

Let us know how the nueMassStorage application works on your X7510.
From my experience with my SDHC card, NEVER format it using your computer. Use a compatible card reader or if ever you get WM5torage to work properly, use that with the micro SDHC card in the X7510.
There is another option, SOFTICK CARD EXPORT: http://www.softick.com/pocket-pc/cardexport2/
It's not free though.
Hi all,
I use my X7510 since a few weeks with a 16GB MicroSD with MiniSD adaptor.
I use it everyday with iGO 8 navigator installed from the SD card and I have no problems.
I'm waiting feedbacks about nueMassStorage also to see if we can have direct access to SD card from the PC.

Thanks for the tips. Re SOFTICK CARD EXPORT: I have used it with my now defunct TREO 650, and it is not very speedy. So I shall skip it for now.
About the formatting of the card: in any case when I have tried to format it (straight from the shop) on X7510, formatting was prevented for some mysterious reason, so I can't do it in any case.
nueMassStorage is a cool one. It created a second "USB to PC" icon, identical to the original one, in the Settings/Connections (well, I wish it were a bit different, but it's not a big deal).
It connects only to the storage card, which was a surprise, otherwise it works perfectly well and when disconnected doesn't cause any hiccups on HTC side.
Another small issue - there was supposed to be a popup that is triggered when you connect the synch cable, but it doesn't work so far.
So for small files I can use the regular synch, and for big ones - nueMassStorage. It means that if I need to load a big file to the flash disk, I'll have to copy it first to the storage card and then move it to the final destination. Not very convenient, but better than nothing.

It connects only to the Flash Disk for me, although the first time I ran it, it connected to my 16 GB Storage Card; after that, it always shows the flash disk.
You can find the Pop Up if you look in the Windows folder and look for nueStoragePopUp.exe file. You can create a shortcut under Windows/Start Menu/Programs/"to whatever folder you want".
After that you can ran the shortcut and a Pop Up Notification will appear with 3 options.
UPDATE: The Sandisk 16 GB Micro SDHC on a Mini Sandisk Adaptor works great. I love it.
Thanks for the tip - created a pop-up in the Resco Today Plugin, it works as prescribed. Still shows only the storage card, though.
I guess it is decided on the dice throw ;-)
Happy New Year!

Please assist with micro sd card with bad blocks

Hey everyone,
I have a 1gb micro sd card. It apparently has bad blocks and cannot be recognized by my 8525 (WM6.1), vista pc or xp sp2 pc. I have the programs to recover the info on it, but none of these programs are effective because the card doesn't show up as a drive.
I am attempting to access the card directly from the phone. With the pc's I have an usb adapter that I know works because I use it for my 8gb micro sd card to swap information.
Can some one give me an answer on how to either fix the bad blocks or make the card recognizable by the ppc or pc's? The recovery programs I have say they will get info off a formated card, but I can't format what the phone or pc's doesn't recognize.
Thanks.
which apps did you try?
if if i'm not mistaken i managed to recover a card using Active Recovery 7
The easiest way for me was, plug your card back to where it gave you a bad blocks, and it should be readable, then backup your datas there,.
this is what i did to my 2GB miniSD for Olympus e520 SLR Camera (the camera lost now),.
I plug it in to my friend laptop, then it cant be readable by any device, then i plug it again, and its readable, then i back it up, then i leave the miniSD,.
Hey G, Thanks for the reply. The card went bad in a digital camera. So I should place the microsd card in the camera, use the usb cord to connect to the pc, remove the usb cord once the card doesn't read, then reconnect the usb cord?

Storage Card Recovery – PPC software?

My phone is telling me that my storage card is full (it’s not) and I’ve lost my ‘program files’ folder, all of my music and the folder with the naked pictures of my ex-girlfriends in………. Damn
I’ve read lots of threads about storage card recovery, but I haven’t found an application that can run from the actual phone itself (I have a Kaiser).
I can’t find my card reader, so can’t connect it direct to my PC!
Anyone got any suggestions?? Freeware is always a bonus
Thanks in advance
never heard about a ppc undelete tool but card readers are dirt cheap
may even work if you put the pda in disk mode and connect it over usb to the pc

PDA in disk mode is new to me? Could you explain how please?? Or alternatively perhaps a program that can work via activesync??
Had a similar issue reecently, all the folders on my card were given random names made up of weird characters. Even connecting to the PC didn't help, still silly names.
I thought, OK, nothing to lose and i soft reset my trinity, hey presto everything came back. Don't ask what had happened i don't know.

I have extra folders with letters and characters (perhaps renamed) but alas, soft reset does nothing......
well, usb to pc mode can be done using Softick Cardexport or WM5torage, but you HAVE to copy the installation files to your DEVICE or it will physically overwrite storage card data. take out your storage card, connect your device and move the installation file to your device, install the program and insert the card, then connect in Removable Storage mode and use Active Recovery 7 to recover your storage card's files.
