The idea is the same.
Use the disassembly/assembly guides available to upgrade the uSD card to 32GB, but just switch the uSD out for the one you want to use out of your old phone.

Lane Anderson: FAIL!!!!
You can't use your old card because it's locked.
The password was applied to it by the OS, your only choice is to format it with a nokia device and then use any software that can recover from sd cards, the password is not a hardware lock, just software lock.
The card has a file system similar(almost) to FAT, so maybe you can get all back, BUT you'll have to sort the names because of the structure used by the WP7.
Good Luck!

^^^ And there you have it. Sorry, bud.

The Stranges thing happened to my SD Card

I don't know how but yesterday all of a sudden I open my SD card folder on my phone and nothing showed up although I checked the free space and the card was not empty. Then I soft reset the phone two times and still no results. Next I did a pim backup to the sd card and did a hard reset and after i did the pim restore it showed SOME content on the sd card that was there before. The only thing now is that my Igo folder and a My Documents folder on the SD card have just vanished into thin air never to return. Does anyone know what might have caused this?
I'm assuming no one knows what may have caused this or no one has had this happen to this before. I think this is the weirdest thing ever. I didn't even install or edit anything different on the card. Oh well i guess it's a mystery. I better call scooby doo
hey i have read about this on the forum, can't remember exactly what it is, but try searching storagecard2/storage card3 problem, its related to that.
Thanks man I will check it out.
Yea, search. I had something like this happen to me and I had to buy a new card. I just got a new card. But I did read a post about someone having this happen and they got it fixed.
Bro. Find someone with a Blackberry. Put your SD card in it and format it through the Blackberry. I tried formating my card with Pocket Mechanic and that program was useless. An error came up so I put it in the blackberry and voila done. No need to buy another one. BTW there was nothing wrong with my card. I just wanted to refresh it.
Crackberry is good then, huh? I tried formating with my PC, PocketMechanic as well as some apps from ScanDisk, etc but NOTHING would fix it. I havea dead 4G card sitting here that I can not get formated. Now, I just need to find someone with a crackberry.....
my sandisk 8gig died on me to the point that my phone couldn't recognize it...and neither could the computer(s) through the sandisk usb adapter.
bought a kingston 4gig as a quick backup...and wouldn't you know it, the kingston usb adapter read the sandisk 8gig card on the computer.
anyways, there are sd card programs that can do the format on the computer...might want to check those out...

Highly unnecissary I would put anything I own near a crackberry. That is the most garbage phone ever I think if blackberry made a touch screen phone they might get more customers.

Phone Stopped Reconizing My Sd Card, Why?

I am using a micro sd hc by kingston 8gb. I have been using this sd card for over a month now with now problems using about .5gb of space. I took my battery out of my tilt while powered on to reset the phone. Now the phone is reset fine and running but it says theres no sd card! I go to settings, memory, storage card and it says not installed. I took out the card put it back in several times no difference. I have an older sd card thats 1gb that i put into my phone and it reads it just fine. I then put the 8gb card back in and says not installed, what the hell? I also tried putting the 8gb storage card in my 8525 and it says not installed. Did my memory card die for some reason some how? Ive never heard of this and never had any problems with an sd card and ive been using them for years. Ive never played with the sd card, once i put it in the phone it stays there and i never take it out. Did maybe resetting the phone by taking the battery out while powered on somehow kill the sd card? Ive done this before with no ill effects. I dont understand, please help anyone. Hate to lose all the info and everything i have stored on my 8gb storage card. Thank you!
did u try to access it on a pc? if you success, move the contents to the pc, and format it, and then move the contents back.

No, my ghetto pc doesnt have a slot for the card. Need to get a usb slot thing for it but i really need this card working now. Doesnt make sense what would case this all of a sudden. Only thing i can think of his taking the battery out.
I think ive really tried everything except the pc method but dont think thats gonna work either. I put the sd card in my 8525 and had the same problem so its not just my tilt, its the card itself. I put an old 1gb card in my tilt and it read it just fine, same with my 8525. Im really stuck here guys and need help, i already contacted kingston tech since they offer a lifetime warrenty even though i got it free but what the hell? Some of the stuff on that card is really not replaceable, really need it. Thanks.

Chances are you need to format the card in a PC as fat32 and try it back on the kaiser. Go to Staples/BestBuy/Walmart and go get a 10$ usb microsdhc card reader. I have one and it works great. I got the Mobilemate Micro Reader and I wont go without it now.
I went to radio shack and for the same price I got one that will read eight types of cards, nifty tool to have around, it can read multiple cards at once

Oh yeah? Well mine is the size of your pinky fingernail when plugged in so HA
Having a micro reader around attached to my keyring ( With my old 4gb card in it ) is nice when im copying random files accross multiple computers. For work i can DL the file using Opera ( Drivers ) and simply pop my micro reader into the PC

Thats great guys but i need the info on the card that is irreplaceable. I could care less about the card, i get em for free. I really just need the files on the card to be recovered but my phone is having this problem and even my 8525 is having the problem with this card too. I ordered a keychain usb thing like what u got from cellphoneshop.net for like $6. Im assuming though if my tilt and 8525 cant read o reconize the card than either will my computer once plugged in. Unless the computer does something my 2 phones dont do to recover the files, i dont know since ive nver had an issue with an sd card before. I really need to recover the files then ill worry about the sd card working again or i could get another no problem but need the files back. What would case this problem, i dont get it? Did taking out my battery wile phone was powered on cause this and make a short erasing the card or something? I have takin the battery out of my phone numerous times while powered on and never had any problems before. How can i recover the files? Thanks!
Your going to have to research some file-recovery tools and try some of those, or send your card to one of those (expensive) places that perform file recovery.
Good luck.
/I feel your pain -- I once lost everything on a 1-gig card. Now, of course, i do regular backups.

Well before i had a 1gb card for over a year with my 8525 and my tilt with zero problems. I just got this 8gb card (really dont need one that high, just got it cus) about a month ago and still worked fine like the first one in my tilt. I actually used the dang sd card as my backup for files on my comp since my ghetto walmart computer likes to crash all the time. Now im screwed! What would i google or search for a file recovery program for my sd card? Worst comes to worst ima send it back to kingston since they have a lifetime warranty and tell them i need my damn files back and see if they will do it. Still waiting a response from their tech unit. Ive also searched this problem here on xda to see similar problems but no solutions. Theres gotta be a way, any ideas guys? Thank you!

How are these programs expensive? I just googled "sd card file recovery" and got tons of pages of freeware apps that recover. Problem here is it wont work with my sd card in my tilt and my tilt connected via usb activesync. It will check your computer or anything via usb but doesnt find or show my phone as a device for some reason. Stupid me didn't think about just stoppin by the store and picking up one of those sd flash usb things and instead ordered one online. Id hate to have to wasted another $10 and get one tomorrow then ill have 2. Any other ideas guys? I found this one to look pretty cool if anyone needs an app for this, http://data-recovery-professional.com/?k=Sd Card Data Recovery It seems to be freeware since i didnt see anything about paying and doesnt say register or anything like that while running the program. Check it out. Any other ideas though? Id really like to get to the bottom of this and find out how the hell this all happened in the first place? Thanks!
This site also seems to have some legit freeware programs for this too! http://www.pcinspector.de/Sites/task_manager/download.htm?language=1#
Yeah guys, i think im royally screwed now. I remembered i have a digital camera so i put in my sd card into the adapter so it would fit into my digital camera, then i could connect the camera via usb as a mass storage device then use the freeware program to get my files back, sounds great right? Well after i put in the card the camera displays "Card Error" and connecting via usb the computer doesnt display the storage device, probably because the card is screwed. Did i fry my sd card somehow in my tilt? I really cant think of how to fix this now. Ill get a sd card reader that plugs into the usb and try that but my digital camera i think is doing the same thing. Ill probably just get the same "card error" after plugging my sd card into the usb adapter. What do you guys think?

card reader + file recovery software is the way to go
also, work slowly, don't panic, and don't attempt to write anything on your card if you got it to work until you pull all your data off of it with the file recovery software.
even if you somehow could format it, the file recovery software could still retrieve some of your files, so, again don't panic, unless the card circuitry is just fried, there is hope

Im gonna try to get a card reader tomorrow even though i already ordered one online but i need these files asap! Problem here is NO Device reconizes my sd card now. My 8525 doesnt show it when i put it in, my digital camera says card error and doesn read how, how will a card reader read it if none of these other devices will? I tried using my digital camera as a card reader but nothing comes up. Tech support from kingston emailed me bck just saying that warranty echange is going to contact me and send me a new card. I just emailed them back saying i could care less about the card but need the files! Hopefully i can send my card in and they can recover the files and mal them back on a fresh card. Until then, ima try to get a card reader today or tomorrow and try i out.

Im assuming you are using the SAME MicroSD to SD card adapter when swapping between your cam and phone. Make sure you are buying a card reader that will work WITHOUT an adapter. It MUST take microSDHC and read it without the use of any other device. Ive had issues with 3 sd to microsd adapters already. All 4 of my Microsdhc cards work great even though i had the issue of not being readable in the phones.

Trying to root my G1 but SD can't be read

Hi everyone. I just joined this forum and I am hoping to get some help from some wise jailbreaker out there..
I bought my G1 from T-Mobile a couple of weeks ago with the intent to jailbreak it and use it as a modem for my laptop. I finally got started on the project and I was stonewalled right from the get-go. Neither the original SD card in the phone nor my new 8GB SD card can be seen by either one of my computers. My desktop is running Windows XP Pro and my laptop is running Vista Home Premium. Neither one will see the SD card no matter what I do. The card does not show up in "My Computer" on either one of the systems, but shows up as "Drive J" in both of them under "Drive Mangement". But it says there is "No Media", so therefor nothing to format.
Since I can't even format the card, I am bogged down from the start. I am hoping someone out there can tell me what to do in order to jailbreak this phone, since that was the only reason I got it. I was perfectly happy with my HP6550 iPAQ otherwise...
Has anyone out there had the same problem?
have u tried formating the card to fat32?
You could try a sd reader. When you pluggin the phone in did you make sure to pull down the notification bar and click the usb thing and hit "Mount"?
Try going into settings, sdcard and storage and format the card that way. If not it sounds like a windows driver issue, you might want to try a card reader, or download and burn a live cd of linux something like ubuntu which will have no problem reading the android phone. You could also use hp as a card reader if it supports micro sdcards
You could just download the files you need through the internet on your phone also, I do all my flashing, downloading and modifing right on my g1, download something like linda or astro file manager from the market so that you can actually download the files
Thanks guys.
pistol4413: That is what I am trying to do according to instructions. But without the card beeing seen by Windows, it is sort of hard to format it...
crpercodani: Thanks for the tip. I will try a separate card reader. And there was no need to hit "mount". It all happened automatically and the phone said the card was mounted. Well, not in those words but it said the card was connected. I tried to unmount and remount again. Didn't do anything.
gridlock32404: I tried that (formatting in the phone). It did nothing. I will try a separate reader. The HP doesn't support micro SD, only mini and standard.
And I can't believe it would be a Windows driver issue both in my XP Pro system and Vista Premium...?
Provided I get this solve first of course, I am also curious if you might have detailed, reliable instructions on how to go through the whole root thing and getting the phone rooted and setup to provide a wireless network for my laptop? Right now I am following instructions from Anthony Moreno on YouTube. He has a few instructional videos on there that seem to make sense. But if any of you know of some other source for instructions, please let me know. I'd appreciate any help I can get to make this a smooth project and not a major headache...
There are many detailed posts and stickys, on this q and a there is a thread for the one click that is really good, it is written by david and is very good instructions
Thanks for the mention gridlock32404. I have a detailed guide in my sig for the one click method. Or if you search for root/hack g1 then there is a good guide that i used to root my phone back in the day. If you use my method and encounter any problems pm me because i will see that faster than a post in the thread also if you do it and go with the rom in the guide (latest cyanogen rom) it comes with a tether app to do exactly what want (at least i think it does)
They are good instructions david and I think that it is warranted to get sticky since most of the new g1 users are using it, I would perfer them to do the old fashioned way so they learn more about what they are doing but the one click is bringing a lot of new users to rooting since it is less scary

For you on that regard, can I just pop my sdcard in there phones and set them up that way and when I flash the new rom I can put back in their card without any damge to mine when I put in back in my phone

As long as you power your phone down first i can't see any why your sdcard would get damaged.
That's what I thought, so I guess I will do that tomorrow then or monday
You should tell them you will partition their sdcards and install the new spl, if they leave a mytouch on the table and look away lol.
It's a mytouch and a g1. The g1 guy wants hero so I would set that all up for him. Why do you say that about the mytouch, it's gonna be my first go on that so I am unsure

The mytouch was a joke payment method. To do one click root on the mytouch make sure you put the 1.33.2005 spl on it, since any spl for the g1 (hard or eng) will brick it. Also you might want to get the amon_ra recovery image for the mytouch
Yeah I was planning to put the amon's recovery on their since they can't use the recovery console anyway, I was aware of the spl difference though so I was good on that, I did read up alittle on it

to much to ask?

i along with several other noobs would like to try the newest roms but,everything is lzx. through sd card i have reformatted and everything else one would need to do. is it to much to ask to get some .nbh files upload if it is too much work just let me know i will understand just want to try out all these new rom that are helping keep this wing alive...... p.s that cab. file fix for opera mobile has that worked for anyone? it didnt for me... thanks in advance
Okay, so what are you saying? You formatted your SD card and it doesn't work or something? Did you format it as FAT32 under Windows? Did you rename the file to HERAIMG.nbh? Did you press and hold the camera button? Im thinking that you didn't.
If you're trying to flash through sd, and it's not working, you either missed something or did something wrong, period.
LOL
I can;t take you seriously with the smoking obama
You Must Be HardSPL First! See Here
1. Download the ROM you want to Flash
2. Rename the _______.nbh to HERAIMG.nbh ( ____ being whatever it was named first )
3. Format your sd card in FAT32 ( can't be sdhc, smaller cards work better )
- you can format your sd with a card reader on your computer
- or you can find resco explorer and format it on your phone
- if either doesn't work skip this step and see what happens
4. Place the HERAIMG.nbh onto your hopefully reformatted sd card. ( keep it in the root directory don't put it in a folder)
5. Make sure your phone is off and your sd card is in
6. Press and hold the power button and while holding it press and hold the camera button
7. When asked to press a button press down on the volume strip.
8. you'll get a progress bar leave it alone until there's only a gradient screen ( around 5min) then restart.
If for some reason this doesn't work, start back at step one and try again.
If for some reason the second time doesn't work get a cheap sd card and try with that one.

the internet pass through, where you connect to your computer with activesync and your phone shares the computers internet connection.

if thats the case you want "internet sharing" you can get it somewheres here or thewingster.com
i use internet sharing on my comp from time to time, but tmobiles GPRS is just sooo slow, if you really need internet go for it
Yeah it's like dial-up slow, but it does work in a pinch. But if you're wanting to use your PC's internet connection for your phone, I couldn't find much. There's something like that for Symbian, but not really windows mobile.

Yeah definitely 2GB OR LESS, NOT SDHC. Everyone that puts up directions to flash seems to keep forgetting to note that part.
the only thing that i havent tried nor have i seen anything about is the step... to turn phone off, then hold power botton while pressing camera botton.i will try that.. thanks for the info i didnt mean to come off like a ass..my bad
hey guys i covered that in my steps give me some credit.
and about the passthrough. i have a dash and when you connect to the computer my dash uses my computers internet, im wondering why i can;t do that with my wing?
the thing is i have a 2g sd card now i have heard of the term "partioning" a portion of your sd card for flashing.does anyone have steps for it? thats what i might need and if that doesnt work i'll just wait for the next signed_ruu file through active sync.
You can try to partition your SD and have part of it FAT or NTFS and the other FAT32 for flashing purposes, but I would not recommend it. Just do this, connect your SD card to your PC some way, copy everything on it to your desktop, then format the card to FAT32 and install as normal. If you partition your card I do not know wether the bootloader of the phone is smart enough to search for a FAT32 partition or if it expects the entire sd:/ disk to be FAT32.
I've never tried partitioning. I always use a 2gb Kingston and format the entire card to FAT32, and I've never had any issues flashing. That is the method I recommend.

[Q] Format 16gb sd card from hd7

Hello, I can't seem to find anything related to this on google or your wonderfull website ( thanks to you folks i was able to root my htc desire and install cyanogenmod, as well as unlock it from the network), any way to the point, I switched network providers because ive had it with telus, long story short, i went to bell and had to get a new phone, so i tried this htc hd7, n i kick myself in the teeth, but im stuck with it now... n now that i can use my desire on any network, i popped my bell sim in and am using that, so, i want to use the 16 gb class 4 sandisk sd card out of the hd7 in my htc desire, windows doesnt recognize it, nor does kubuntu, and nor does the format utility windows comes with, the format fails... and of course the phone wont read it or format it through recovery or in OS, ive also tried a program called low level format tool, it sees it, but results in multiple errors when formatting, any thoughts?
you need a Nokia phone to format it. The SD card is locked.
Does it need to be a specific model? The only nokia device i have is an air card for my laptop and theres no memory card settings, i think i have a couple buddies that own nokia phones though, damn windows phail 7

You must have not looked on Google very hard:
"format WP7 SD card"
Actually, thats the first thing i searched, which is also how i discovered the low level format utility, you can have absolute faith i've searched anything i could think of and explored multiple options that i could think of, including a kodak easy share c183 (fairly new digital camera) and multiple sd card recovery applications designed for digital cameras, ive tried using linux and both windows/linux OS disks, im thinking, now that the bootloader has been exploited for the the hd7, if i can port either kubuntu mobile or some third party android build to it, i would gain access to the card, then mess around with that, but theres gotta be some way i can format this bugger. ive also come across the thread that includes using the nokia phone, but i dont have one. this is the only other thing i could find besides the llft, is there anyone else out there that has wanted to use there 16 gigger out of the hd7 for some other device after upgrading to a 32gb card? i have skimmed these forums as well and turned up nothing
well i just came across this post and aim on the same boat... i have 4 16g and going crazy i will hate to see this 4 16 sd go to trash... just cause mocosoft have play bad with us.....
ps just like guitarjunkie i have try all i can think-off
well im going to render this question unasnwerable i think for the time being, until we can find an application that works, if there wll ever be such a time, i will keep posted if i find one, thank you almostinsane for your time and input about the nokia phone, and to my boys from microsoft, blast you all, creators of wp7 to eternal damnation! @#$%&*(random curse words) power to the linux community!
Hmmm my friend formatted his memory, but no longer has the software that he did that with... =\
Try this:
http://www.pendriveapps.com/format-fat32-larger-than-32gb/
If it failed try:
http://tokiwa.qee.jp/EN/Fat32Formatter/
Try the whole re-initialization thing...
If both failed, try to find something else which can destroy the partition table for the memory, then rebuild it using Disk Manager.
