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.

Everything is perfectly fine with the phone, it isn't malfunctioning, no water damage, no issues turning on or anything, I'm just lazy I guess you could say. Basically, I just got a new phone (Samsung Galaxy Note - original) and I knew the day would come, that when I updated the phone, nothing would transfer because I would have to get a new sim card (the HTC HD7 takes a regular while the Galaxy Note takes a mini or w/e) and the HTC HD7 has like 0 backup functioning except the online cloud (which is next to nothing). I understand that the HTC HD7 has a removable SD card that holds all its internal data (I actually had to restore once on my husband's because his phone kept freezing, it took actually removing it to fix).
I am hoping that maybe I can remove it and either transfer all the data (contacts, picures, sms, etc) to a computer by putting it directly in the computer (rather than using zune or some other backup software) so I can then use the samsung program to transfer it onto my new phone or otherwise put the SD directly into the new phone and access the files that way so I can access and save the information I need directly from the card. Is this at all possible with a healthy card? I have a feeling its asking a lot (I'm thinking its encrypted) but I have 3 years worth of phone usage, there is A LOT of data I have to transfer, and the zune may backup pictures, but not those I haven't removed from texts; backup software usually compresses and will only transfer back to the same device; and the online cloud wont transfer (like the address book I'm pretty sure can't be transferred to any phone except the one it was set up with, but even if it could, I think its specific to windows phone, windows phone is like the least cross-platform compatible, even compared to blackberry surprisingly).
I have my phone developer unlocked (and have the interop available although not active because it was making some apps act up. I basically got my phone to a point where I could sideload a few apps and upgrade to windows 7.8 but that is about it. My husband's phone isn't however, and he is still at windows 7.5), not sure if that makes a difference/helps/hurts.
Any help is appreciated, or additionally suggestions on how to transfer multiple items from the HTC HD7 to the Samsung Galaxy Note.

The SD-card is formatted in such a way that you can't access on Windows or Mac. What you can do on the other hand is to go to your local phone store and let them resize your SIM-card.

hi, hope you are all well.
This is a bit of a long shot but got to be worth a try as we have come to a brick wall and desperately need some help.
To cut a long story short, as some background for you, a friends Nokia Lumia 800 Windows 8 was stolen by some skank head, the phone had cherished pictures containing the photos of her new borns when they were very ill in hospital. No other backups..we have the phone back but it has been restored to factory settings.
here is the problem, as it does not have a memory card and the storage is internal we cannot get the drive to be recognised by windows as 'a drive'
it states that it is 'generic hierarchial' and I cannot get any software to pick it up. have managed to edit the registry so it shows up as storage and can access it but recovery software just doesn't 'see' the drive. They are MTP and use 128bit bitlocker for encryption.
Can anyone please help with this? the family are gutted and I would really like to find a way to at least try and recover something from it.
thank you for reading and look forward to any help and replies you can offer.

Lumia 800 is WP 7.x not WP 8.
For WP7 only Zune can sent media to the phone.
When the Lumia 800 was new, there was a bootloader hack to get it into USB Mass Storage Mode (this is how the first custom ROMs for the 800 were made). Unfortunately, Nokia patched that out really quickly, and prevented downgrading to that bootloader version. So unless the phone is missing a whole lot of updates, there's no way to get block-device-level access from your PC.
With that said, I haven't been following the Lumia 800 hacking scene recently, but it's possible that there's a way to root the phone. If so, a high-privilege app could (theoretically) get direct access to the storage and attempt to extract the images that way (basically, the kind of software you'd have run on the PC, but run it on the phone instead). That would be a lot of work to write such an app, though.
Also, if Bitlocker was enabled before the hard reset, the data is going to be quite unrecoverable. Bitlocker uses a different master key each time it is "turned on" and cracking AES is not something you can do by whining at people hard enough.
I realize this isn't what they want to hear, but... this is why you back things up! I don't like the "automatically upload my images to Sky/OneDrive" option, but it's there; if you choose not to use it then you're taking responsibility for keeping your photos safe yourself.

hi, many thanks for your reply, I was sort of resigned to the fact all was lost but thought I'd at least try. I always back things up and advise all my friends to do so, this particular phone had come through a friends boyfriend who I didn't know and hadn't backed up, then the phone was stolen.
The phone was restored to factory settings so I am assuming it has had no updates since then, it is on Bootloader 7.41.0.0 Windows 7.8
Do you looked in the Live Account Online, if the option was set on the Camera, they will Upload all Pics to your live Account.
I had a lot of trouble with the Verizon Moto Z Force, so they gave me a refurbished Galaxy Note 5. Since there's no SD card slot, I'd opted for going for some OTG readers, but now that I have a battery case, I'd have to remove it each time since I cannot both charge and use an OTG device at the moment (someone told me this is dependent on the kernel?).
I had asked this question elsewhere, and someone told me to try here.
A sort of solution I came to is the idea of throwing everything on a cloud storage account. Having the saves sync across all my devices while having all the roms stored in a folder that doesn't, and just pulling a few roms onto my phone's storage at a time.
This seems great for games from much older systems such as the SNES, but not as practical for something like games coming from the PSP.
My question is if any of you know of any better solutions, or if you just have suggestions. Opinions are welcome. Keep in mind that I have a large battery case over my phone, in case there's any ideas about adding more accessories to the phone. So they may be a little less than feasible.
To clarify, I'd like to know any ideas as far as what I have: A Samsung Galaxy Note 5 with a battery case. I am not looking to change those two things. I am unable to upgrade and the current battery case I own has already cost me a lot for me already. Thanks in advance.
What's wrong with using the phone's internal storage? It works just like an sdcard, only without the ability to remove it physically.
It takes up a lot of space. Space that, when full, cannot be expanded through a micro sd card slot. I have space already taken up from files from my previous phone, 32GB is not a lot of space.
I'm still very happy of my XZ1c and it looks like there are no other similar Android phones on the market at the moment, so compact and powerful at the same time. Except I'm constantly struggling against very low internal memory.
Although I've been investigating for long time, I was not able to find any way to move apps to the SD card without rooting the XZ1c till now. Since I'm a newbie to rooting and I'm ok with the original firmware, I wouldn't go for this operation, that I find too complex and risky (to me at least).
So I had an idea: I wonder whether it could be possible to "park" the >RARELY-USED< apps to the SD card temporarily. That is, installing in the internal memory, then "dirty - moving" the app to the SD by moving its files (with a file manager or something like that) so that Android is not informed that the app is not there any more.
Obviously at that point you won't be able to launch the app any more, but my hope is to be able to restore the app later when you need it in the state it was just by moving it back in place.
Since a significant part of the internal memory is taken by apps that I use very rarely but I leave there "just in case" for specific needs... moving those apps back and forth to the SD card could be an acceptable solution.
Do you think it could be feasible?
