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?

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!

Thanks for the Info i am updated today as well regarding WM5Storage. Appreciated.
try pocket mechanic - it has a format card option on it
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.

Great stuff, thank you very much.
I'm on the case now.
Need some help with this. I have a trail camera for watching deer in the woods. It has a SD card adapter with transflash card in it to record the photos on. I have an android phone with transflash card. But if I swap them out I lose my custom ringtones I have set up for everyone. Is there some way I can get those photos onto my cell phone without having to bring the trail camera home and download the photos?

Only Way I Can Think Of Is To Connect To Your Computer For Transfer, Either That Or Email Them To Yourself, Then Go To Email From Your Phone! Also I Would Recommend Making A SDCard Backup On A Computer, In Case Of Losing Files, Say (Ringtones)

What I was thinking was a male to male mini usb cable. But I guess the phone doesn't have the drivers to read from another usb device.

Are Both Of The SdCard The Same Size, If So You Can Press...
Unmount SD, Then Put The New One In Your Phone To Then Connect To PC, Me Myself I Have A SDCard I Just Purchased That Allows You To Insert A Micro SdCard Into That, To Then Transfer Apps/Pics/Files..... To A PC Easily!!

What if you just copy the custom ringtones to the internal memory of your phone with a file manager, swap the cards and then copy them back to the card?
I have a 16gb micro sd card, worked fine, i formatted it to fat32 while it was in a phone that was connected to windows vista laptop. then when i took it out and put it in phone it wasnt recognised, so i put it in my friends android phone and it says it needs formatting, i click format but nothing happened, i put it into a computer it comes up as a removable disk saying please insert disk, when i go to manage on the computer and find it, only thing i can do is change the letter, and its coming up as 0 bytes. Any ideas?
Somebody must have an idea?
Try to format it under Linux.
If that does not work either, RMA it or throw it into the dustbin if out of warranty.
i only have a phone to put it in, i dont have a sd card reader, and when i put it in my n900 it doesnt come up under linux.
Shrug; SD card reader is given out for free with many SD cards... or borrow one from someone?
I have a sd card reader just not a slot for a micro sd, but surely if it doesnt come up on my n900 running linux then it wont with a card reader?

What slot? There are USB adapters, and there are miniSD/microSD to SD adapters for normal card readers (again, this is normally part of the package when you buy the SD card, where the hell did you get yours to get nothing of this?).
Do NOT try this via another phone, it simply is not useful. If the phone does not recognize the card, there is nothing for the PC to do. Phone attached via USB is NOT a card reader, it acts as a mass storage device.
Im trying a friends card reader tomoz but i dont have huge hopes.
Hello everyone,
I have a basic question, maybe it's stupid, but critical for me because my laptop doesn't have an SD card reader.
Let's say I put a SD card in the phone, and then I plug the phone via USB to my laptop, can I access the SD card content and copy new things like music and photos directly from my laptop to the SD card in the phone?
Thanks for the help if anyone has tried it!

Typically laptops take full size sd cards while the Nord CE 2 takes micro sd cards. You would be better off buying a card reader that you can plug into your laptop's usb socket.

Thanks, but that was not what I wanted to know, sorry I didn't explain well.
I don't want to put the SD or micro SD card in my computer.
If I have a micro SD card in the Nord CE2, and I plug this phone via USB to the computer (just like we do to transfer files to the phone memory), can I access the micro SD card that is into the phone via the file system / explorer ?
Yes you can.
Thanks! Totally buying it then.
