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.

Dear friend.
I am looking for solution to read Serial No from SD card. I made special software which is runing on every pc on out company an check all inserted USB memory keys. Then compare serial no with database and if not registered is used we get warnings on IT section that not registered usb key was used.
Unfortunatelly i have problem with sd cards because i always get serial number of card reader and not serial no od SD card.
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.

Write or modified Cid of sd card ?
Translated with google translation
Hello you know how to modify the cid of a card sd ??
thank you in advance
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

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.

Good catch; probably, mods should copypaste that article to WP7 FAQ to prevent future speculations about this topic.

Seems that SD Formatter 3.0 has the abillity to format WP7 Cards ????

I was able to reformat a 32gb card that I used on my HD7 using one of the Nokia Express Music phones. Forgot the exact model. It will ask for a password but you can always hit cancel and then go through the formatting
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

Hey Guys,
I recently was using my phone, it accidently slipped out of my hand and fell on the floor. My phone works fine but the problem is that the SD Card is not reading, when it reads it my phone gets locked/freezed, I cannot unlock the lock screen, or do anything else. I also cannot read it via my USB Card Reader. I don't know what is wrong. Can someone please help me?

Can you unlock the lock screen without the card in the device? Have you tried a different card?
Do you have important data on the card? You may need to enlist someone who can use an SD card recovery program to try to make an image of the card for analysis and recovery.

Hello,
Thanks for replying, I have no important data except for some pictures that I have stored (not all of them) on Facebook. I also had music on there, but it's okay, i'll get them again. It's a 8GB Card though, but it came with the phone. Oh well, i'll try something myself, no big deal

Sorry I couldn't be more help. You won't find much in the way of SD card diagnostic tools on Android, it would probably be easiest to boot into Linux and use some of the tools there, or else find one for Windows (in my experience most are paid apps).
