[Q] Flash cards in Win Phone 7 - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi..
We are developing an app in Win Phone 7 which requires the use of flash cards.
Can anyone provide any sample code for flash cards to be used in WP7 (Silverlight/XNA)
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks

Then, you shouldn't write such app. Only one WP7 phone has user accessible flash card/microSD card slot. Even with that, the card is integrated into the storage pool that can't be removed without a hardreset of the phone.
WP7 does not officially support external SD cards.

SD Card CID (w/o phone)?

I am in a bad situation with my rooted, now semi-bricked G1 =[
I had cyanogenmod and RA recov. I installed a new theme directly from the CM updater app; then on reboot, my phone would not boot into the OS (stuck on logo, before loading screen). So I tried to overwrite the phone with cyan again. It wouldn't work so then I was left to flash the phone and start over. Upon flashing, I got that b#$6h of an error. Then the "RUUNBH".
Now upon turning on my phone (In any way) it comes to the colured screen. When I try to flash a nbh, I get the "not allow" because my SD card needs to be a gold card.
The only method now is to gold card my SD. Which I cannot figure out anymore because all the methods I would need a WinMo phone or an working Android phone, neither I have access to.
In short, does anyone know how I can get a SD card's CID without a phone. I DO have a laptop with a sd card reader and CAN get access to a external USB sd card reader.
Any help?

Buy a cheap winmo phone? Something that has whats required. There has to be an old one that can do it for like 20 - 30 dollars. I don't think it's possible otherwise.
I think it may be possible to get the CID with a sdcard slot (not USB), usually within a laptop. Recently, I found this: jo0ls-dotnet-stuff.blogspot.com/search/label/SD%20Card%20CID
I used his source and threw in a couple lines to debug why it wasn't working, but it seems the laptop I own doesn't have a support SD card slot, so I will have to go see someone who has a internal SD slot on their laptop.
A winmo phone for $30?... By any chance of pointing me in the direction of such item(s)? (I am Australian)

Thanks for your suggestion. But it is possible that you would still need to get her a CID. I am wondering if it is possible to overwrite the whole SD card through the tool that is used to edit your SD card and into a 'goldcard'.
I PMed the person who was recommended in that thread, fingers crossed.
SD card reader that can read SD/MMC 32 bit CID
Hi There
I think this might be useful to anyone that sits with the problem of reading the 32 bit serial number/CID of a SD/MMC card.
I have managed to get firmware written for the Addonics eSata/USB multi-card reader model AEPDDESU with a small application that will read and display the CID number.
There is no other way to read the CID number through USB on PC other than having the the chip set inside the reader relay the information back to the host when it receives an application defined command,like for instance DeviceIoControl.
If anyone is interested drop me a mail and i will gladly mail u the firmware + utillity .One will need to buy this drive though.

Is there some way to get serial no from SD card via Card reader? Can you send me the model of card reader which is possible to read this SN + Software?
Is there some dll or component for reading usable for .net visual basic?
Thank you for informations.

[Q] Re-Use SD Card

Hi,
Hoping someone can help, although from what I've found online it seems as tho I'm SOL. I have a 16GB card that I was using on a focus. I'm not gonna use the focus and wanted to keep the card, format it and I don't care about erasing the content- just as long as I can reuse it.
Is this possible at all or has anyone found a workaround way of doing this? I would hate to just toss the card out pretty much if it's worthless.
Thanks in advance for any help...
Use a Nokia Symbian Phone with micro Sd Slot to Format it.
First after insert the card ignore the message of Crypted Card or so.
Then go to the options menu and format the card. After This u can use ist in any device

nice thanks...I'll try to find a way to get my hands on one. Any other methods in case I can't get a symbian one?
I've used my girlfriend Olympus camera and my Nikon camera to format my card (Centon 16GB) on a few occasions. But I have to trick the card to get it to be detected in the cameras. If I just put the card in the camera normally it doesn't detect it, but when I do the following steps it always works.
1. Hard reset (format) my phone using the 3 hardware buttons without the card in it.
2. Turn the phone off and install the sd card.
3. Hard reset (format) a 2nd time using the 3 hardware buttons, but with the card still in.
4. Turn the phone off and take out the card. Do not reboot, you must turn the phone off after the 2nd hard reset.
5. Insert the card into a camera and try a format.
Not sure why, but if I reboot after hard resetting, my camera's cannot detect or format the card. Its possible that the encryption isn't written until you reboot after a card is formatted.

This seems ... really extreme. I hope in the future Microsoft releases some sort of service tool (like the one for the NoDo update) that will allow recognition and format of cards on Windows.

and you've tried this on a real windows phone 7 device not the hd2 convert? there is a huge diff
If you can find a Mac with a card reader, then you can clear out the partition with the Mac Disk Utility.
You can use pretty much anything - I tried it on Windows Mobile (HTC formating SD card utility - worked fine), Android (SGS with FroYo - had to press Format twice - worked fine), desktop WIndows and SD card in card reader - with using diskpart (list disk, select disk X, select partition 1, delete, select partition 1, delete, create partition blabla - worked fine too)
Haven't tried Linux box

You have an HD2, if you have an official WP7 device the card is set up very different. So far the only way known to "normalize" the SD card is to use a Nokia phone or odd tricks with random cameras.

Hello M8...
HD2 runs wp7 and the formating and partition of the sd card its the same with any wp7 device...
Its working ... i change my first sd a 4gb card that i had installed wp7 with another bigger one (8gb).
The tools that i have post, can delete any wp7 partion
You can even copy partition to a usb hard disk for backup before you delete it.
And for this to be resolved:
1. Can you please get the minitool partition wizard and try to delete that partition and see whats happen ????
2. Please report back your findings ??

partition is NOT the same. For hd2 converts running windows phone 7, 200 mb partition of the hd is partitioned to be recognized by windows, therefore making any low level formatting utility work to regain the initial amount of memory as if it was new. BUT for real wp7 devices, the partition scheme is different and cannot be recognized by any computer. Making the partition tool completely and utterly useless...
For non converts (HD2 devices) the only way is to use a nokia device. Otherwise you will be SOL

Sensboston ... You are right .... I stand corrected.
Sinse as i already said i have an HD2 running WP7 i was under the impression that is the same.
No its not....Its different on the HD2 format for wp7..
And seems that the Nokia solution its the one that works for now...
Now because of this i found the time to learn more about wp7 sd cards.

WP7 uses your SD card as combined storage, not as removable storage. So by removing the SD card and putting a new one in, it sees that you do not have an installed OS any longer and reinstalls the original ROM. You'll lose your programs, pics unless they're backed up on your PC.

sd card write problem

hi yesterday I unexpectedly remove sd card (samsung) without unmounting from htc u11 now I can not write to it. can not format the sd card from phone as well from pc. recently I updated my htc u11 to oreo also. I dont know is it because of unexpectedly remove of sd card or oreo update because I dont remember that after oreo update I use(means download something) my sd card. If anyone have the solution thanx in advance.
How old was sd card? Could be just bad luck, and card died, happen to me. And what pc - win version you tried formated? It should let you do it whitout any problems.
If the external sd card was being written to at the time it was disconnected then it will be broken. If it wasn't then try to recover it using a pc.
The oreo update won't have changed anything with the external sd card so you can rule that out.
Sometimes, when you pull out the memory card unexpectedly (also the pen drives or even memory sticks on pc) you can lock the card. It denies to write on it. This happens due to the chip controller of the memory card. The only solution is to repair it on PC with special software tools from manufacturer or from russian/chinese/vietnamese forums which can reset that lock 'flag'. That sw contains drivers to raw access the chip controller.

Try to search something like that: 'mass production utility', usually under this name you can find utilities to access the chips. It is time consuming to find what chip/controller your card use and find an utility which can access that chip since samsung do not publish such a tool...
You can try ChipGenius or another sw to find details, you may digg in sites like 'http://www.flashdrive-repair.com' to find a way of repair.

Maybe because your phone doesn't have a sd card u need a sd card for the phone
Not all phones have a sd card
If you're phone doesn't support for a sd card than it's just not possible

Well most apps really can't be moved to external SD-card. Only a few can.
BTW:
The mentioned Link2SD app - as it name implies - simply creates in Android OS's file tree links ( read: shortcut in Windows OS terminology ) to apps / their data what are located on external SD-card. This only will work if the external SD-card has two partitions (at least): one partition works as a regular external storage on SD-card, for pictures, music, etc.pp, the second partition ( must be ext4 formatted ) would work as the "extended real memory" or, the virtual memory, where "externally installed apps" are housed.
Since Android 6 this technique is part of Android OS: it's called Adoptable Storage.
