n/a

Got 2 locked goddamned sd-cards (on HD2), trying to recover them about 2 weeks, spend more than 100 hours :( no any result using ANY WAY!!!!!!

HP utility does not format my card, it says formatting, then linux sys, but the program is responding after that! The card is NOT VISIBLE, even if you end task the HP window. If hit OK, than program says that format is sucessful.

I did not find ANY LINUX DISTRIBS with KILLDISK, only DOS, which is FREEZING on detecting usb devices. Tried also to use Ultimate BootCD to fix cards. It is also not booting with USB Card Reader [tried ALL MODES WITH ALL AVALIABLE USB OPTIONS!!!] it boots only in NO UMB [def mode without USB 2.0 (only 1.1)], but discovers only SD-adapter with working SD-Card. When I put the locked instead of broken and try to switch working microsd on locked and start formatting, it says "WRITE ERROR"

So none of posted instructions for recovery did not worked for me (even NOKIA phones did not see the card). Maybe error with usb chipset or card reader, but these methods are not working.

Got Win7/ASUS K70AF with integrated Card-Reader (Alcor Micro USB 2.0 Card Reader) and locked MicroSD Cards Transcand 1GB&8GB plus NOT_LOCKED SANDISK 1GB.

Could you provide more info about exact version of HP Tool? I got 7.41.3790.0 from the first link of Google. Or at least post, where did you find Linux version of KILLDISK, or you mean DOS version? What card reader do you have?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Any Luck with this? HELP NEEDED

I just upgraded the SD Card in my Venue Pro to 32GB, and was wondering if I Could format my 16GB Sandisk that was in it before Mango upgrade.

I followed each step but was unable to proceed. Please any help would be appreciated. Or please point me to a Thread I can follow.

Thanks

Awesome! Worked perfectly and only took ~20 minutes. Thanks

this method works great in the HD7, revived 3 cards last night...

Not sure if it can be ported to the HD2 or others, but worth a look...

I just used diskpart to delete the partition on the sd card that was locked, formatted the 16giger and it's usable again.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] madalinpascu:
just a quick one: is your sdhc card seen, in any way, by the utility you use to format it?

for instance, a transcend class 2 sdhc 16 gb card is only see by the hp utility but when I hit the format button says there is no card to format (using sd formatter it only sees the card for 2 seconds) - OS Windows 7 / Windows XP (all drivers installed)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] someeh:
Diskpart is a utility included in Windows, so when you go to a command prompt.

type diskpart

It will load and bring you in.

type list disk> this will list all the drives (HDD, SD CARDS, REmovable disk,etc) it will list the disk by numbers. So when you see your SD CARD and it's # 2 or #3 on the list you type this

select disk #2... now disk #2 is active and you can start deleting partitions within that card.

But you need to list the partitions in order to format the entire card, you will need to execute this command in order to delete the locked partition. But before I will give you the list of commands you need. Once you " select disk #" do this,

list partition> will list all the partitions on the selected disk, you need to select each partition and delete manuallly.

select partition 1

delete partition override> for the partition that is locked

select partition 2

delete partition

Once the partitions are deleted you'll be able to format the card normally.But I doubt you'll need to use HP that utility.

Hello.

I am following your guide to unlock my microsd blocked by HTC HD7.

I arrived well at the end of step 1, but already I'm stuck at step 2.

I installed the program on my Windows 7 KillDisk, but the card still does not messing around, and Windows, as you say, it tells me 0 and 0 free memory in use and the formatting is not available.

What version of KillDisk should I use? You may link to the page where you download it?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] -WP7User-:
Tried it and it worked. Everyone who was troubles getting the MicroSDHC to work for other devices should take a look at this. The rom used is the one by xbmod, so this trick can be used on all HTC 1st gen devices.

Spread it!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] P-A-L-A-D-I-N:
Thanks for your tutorial. But did I get you right that it only works when the sd-card is detected before? The problem is that my sd-card is not shown anywhere at all. So I think I cannot work on it by using any normal windows based program... :( I tried several tools (also the HP key disk tool or however it is called) and it did not find anything to format.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ToddeSwe:
I have the same problem and i did try Lunix based GParted without any luck at all. :) Now i don't dare to try the pull sd card method to change rom :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] wolfwolf:
Hi folks

the best is to get an Nokia f.e. Communicator - an oldone or other.

Insert the Card an go to the systemsettings an format the card.

Now you can handle the sd-card as normal under windows.

Testet on Transcend 2,4,8GB and some Sandiskcards.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] romusters:
And if you don't have a nokia, do this:

Format won't help since it won't unlock your sd card and won't delete the internal protection. You need to do the following.

1. start linux (fast solution: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer)

2. put card in computer

3. unmount sd card with "umount"

4. format sd card with "mke2fs /location-of-sd-card/"

5. go to windows and format as fat32 or just put it in your phone.

6. ask/suggest/thank me

Windows or your phone will say it's broken or something and will repair.

The mango security is no more and your sd card is revived.

And also put this post in the right thread so everybody can enjoy it :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] :
Yes, if you have a Nokia phone that is, and not everybody has one, OK?

And BTW I have a Nokia C3-00 and it doesn't help at all because the MicroSD is passworded and it asks for the password.

So please verify the answers you post.

---------- Post added at 10:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 AM ----------

Could you be a little bit more specific?

Have you even tried what you're suggesting? How can I unmount something that Ubuntu doesn't even read? All I get from a lsusb is Bus 002 Device 003: ID 05e3:0736 Genesys Logic, Inc.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] :
I can confirm that this method does NOT work when one locked his MicroSD card with a WP7 phone such as an HTC HD7S.

I installed hdkbu.exe on an old XP 32bit laptop and after putting in my locked MicroSD card with it's card reader, BECAUSE Windows can't read it it doesn't assign it a drive letter, so the utility has nothing to erase or format.

Could someone please close this thread or something, it's useless...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] :
Well you've never had a properly locked MicroSD, have you?

Mine was put into a WP7 HTC HD7S phone and it doesn't appear as a drive at all when I hit list disk, if it appears as a drive for you when you do that, YOU'RE MICROSD CARD IS NOT LOCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You just had a file system issue that would have been dealt with using chkdsk.

Hey, I bought my Atrix some few days back and wanted to unlock (bootloader) it, install CWM and root it. And I did hello lot of searching for that, and found this page and used it to get everything done.

Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1202883

So, I would recommend you the above link -- it's sufficient and has just one file for download with everything in it.

NOTE: I had Android 2.3.4 installed on my Atrix and the above guide applies to Android 2.3.4 running Atrix only. So take due notice of this.

ONE MORE THING: Read this page in full so that you gain knowledge of what you are doing. And I think once the bootloader is unlocked, you cannot re-lock it (anyway, I'm yet to find a link/page which would help me relock it).

Hello,

I have a HTC Desire Z with perma root, S-off and Clockwork recovery, however I'd like to update to the latest official rom of Gingerbread. I assume to do this that I have to remove my root, S-off and recovery, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how?

I read that I'm not supposed to flash certain files with S-off or I'll get a bootloop, so could somebody advise me what to do?

This is my specs:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qpop:
You've posted in the wrong forum - you need to post in Questions, ideally.

Just installing the official update via RUU (there are guides, search the forum) will put your phone back to stock - but you won't be able to undo the changes without a LOT of work. Why do you even want to do it?

You'd be better finding a modified and rooted version of the latest stock f/w, surely?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beegee7730:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coredalae:
Latest is 5.0.2 but you can just install it through rom manager. to be able to flash GB roms you'll need a recovery higher as 3.x though since this is the one that can change partitions to ext4 :)

Almost 1 month of waiting searching & then still left waiting for a stable & fully featured rom I am wondering whats the use of having 10 developers making 10 different roms none is bug free, some or the other features remain buggy or not working in them.

Cant the developers work together to develop 1 super stable, bug free & fully featured rom for our i9003?

Take a poll & lets give some direction to rom development, the purpose of this post is to have some kind of feedback as to what the i9003 users base wants the most, in no way developers are bounded by this community demand but this poll result should give the developers some sense of direction regarding rom development.

I have a long list of features, some are innovative ideas how a phone should be & needs a developer to implement the ideas.

Choose the following one to vote

I prefer different developers develop different roms even if it remain buggy or some features are not working.

or

I want super featured, super stable rom hence developer should work together to root out bugs then we can have various version of this rom.

Disclaimer:

In no way I am putting down the hard work done by all the developers who have done good job with themes, tweaks, mods, custom roms & other customization for i9003 giving precious time for the community development.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
Hello,what features are not working??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kartiksrireddy:
hey man, i think the developers are giving their best at what they are doing. i know a collective effort gets above all but sounds a bit harsh when u put it so bluntly. and coming to stability and features if u expect a rom which can compete with MIUI u have to wait.. the developers here are good and most of the roms they gave us have only minor issues like force closes and all. i too am waiting for a ROM as good as MIUI supported by cyanogen mod. have some patience and trust them.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
1. 2 way phone Call recording with auto gain in .amr & .mp3 format

2. USB OTG

3. Dialer in landscape mode (krazy did a mod but later did not include it in rom)

4. Retrying busy number automatically should give a audio tone when the call finally connects.

5. Missed call sound notification with ability to to switch off.

6. dialer should have option opening as default keypad/logs/favorites screen (user selectable)

7 dialer Voice mail facility so the phone can record the message on the sd card itself.

Others can add more to the feature list, as the list grows more Devs can look in to the requirements.

Since I work in large team environment I am very much used to get the work done by different people for a large project each specializing in particular field. I live my life with a phone hence cant test multiple roms, if something goes wrong while flashing or features not working I would loose a lot of time & my work will suffer.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bluet0ps:
variety is always good. Devs do not have obligations to make roms. let's give them freedom to do whatever they want with the roms they create.

Nevertheless, a good poll question would be which is the best froyo and gb rom.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ybyb:
I guess sgsl is talking about the GPS and push notifications bug.

It has to do with the base ROM i.e. XXKPH. Otherwise all are putting in a splendid effort.

Seeing the positive side we get 10 different flavours of the same ROM.

And the ROM's are getting better by the day.

I can understand where you're coming from as I have been researching on the ROMs for a while now so that I can flash them (I'm still on DDKF1 though ).

All in All Kudos to all dev's out here.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] leongwenjun:
I think Devs should work together to make super stable rom
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ybyb:
People are trying to get the mentioned features working but it'll take some time i guess. If all work on one thing then we won't get anything to play with until that thing is developed/solved.

Same thing applies to me and almost all guys out here.

But the ROM's that are offered are more or less pretty stable now in the sense all basic features work 100%.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kkrraazzyy:
@ sgsl

if you want dialertab landscape mod for gb then soon i will again port it
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ybyb:
Also i feel dev's can work together to solve issues (USB OTG, Call recording etc) and not build a complete ROM altogether.

@SGSL can you add the option of "dev's should work together for solving issues"
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
@ybyb

gps is working on all roms!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jamsori:
Developers should be allowed to do what they want. If they want to make their own ROM, let them. If they want to work together, let them. They're not your staff.

I know it's just an idea - so please don't take this as an attack.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ybyb:
@sakindia

Have been reading the feedbacks and it isn't working for all.

Maybe then it's my interpretation.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
I humbly disagree, devs are "presuming" that they are doing best but still not able to solve teh problems or either conclude that if certain features can be done or not.

Extremely sorry if this sound so hard but in no way I am disrespecting the excellent work done by many developers, I put the disclaimer in red in 1st post for the very reason.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
No body wants to curtail their freedom indeed they are free to agree to work together or alone, its their wish, but if more i9003 users vote that they want a super stable rom which is fully customized & devs should work in a team to achieve that then its upto the developers to look into this community requirement. Even then they are free to ignore this requirement, its their wish.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
How about having a super stable rom with 10 different flavors (all stable & fully featured) since different people use phone differently for different uses?

As for GB or froyo I leave it to the developers to have the agreement on it, GB as of now is not officially launched in stable form for i9003.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Thanks krazy , yes I would love to have it integrated in roms, I have many more ideas for rom developers to add useful features so the smartphone can be used even by disabled people too. One such feature would be audio sound of numbers when they press the dialer button.

Many blind people will bless you for this feature.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
Buddy i agree with ur point. So when amit will release CM7 then automatically all developers will get attract to it & will try to solve problems related to it.

But for now let the dev do their work. Already we have cranium as best rom with almost everything is working in it so other developer can can take help of it.

The features u are demanding needs to implemented with great hard work. Some features are related to kernal & we all know that we have very few kernal developers.

Our progress is slow but definitely in right direction. Just keep some patience. I think CM7 will complete everyone's expectation.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
You know: 9 women can't give birth to a child for a month. IE if all our developers will work together I don't think they will create the ROM better. Because we (they) have some tricks to improve some features of ROM. When somebody found this he posts this know how to the forum and all other can apply this trick to their ROM.

But they don't create ROM from scratch. They use somebody's ROM or stock ROM and apply some tricks/applications. Also they apply some themes inside.

And this is good that we have different ROMs with different tricks/themes/applications. Some users like one set, other users like other set. and this is good. If we have very easy way to apply tricks/themes and so on without "recompiling" framework or applications. It will be good to take 1 ROM with ability to apply different tricks. but we can't this.

For example if you remember when rex4u and then others became to create themes for XXKB3, they don't know about extended power menu. and we can easy change theme just replacing framework files. But the was discovered a lot of tricks and now we should to choose not only between themes (looks) but also animations,memory,power menu and so on (feel). we can't just change some file and receive features we need without loosing features we don't need. Also theme developers can't make a lot of modifications for different sets of features.

That's why I think that several ROMs are better than 1. Also remember: if you want to make ROM you don't need to program on C, but for apply OTG or other features that you wrote in the post, you should know C...

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] syntax_gosong:
Not to be harsh, but I agree with the OP. Please be positive.

I'm sure that the developers here is NOT a non-educated person. They're all clever.

And also, they have their life to live, they have their own job, routines & activities.

They are developing these gorgeous themes & customRom voluntarily and perhaps

don't get paid even a cent.

But sometimes I (also) feel that the Themes / cRom is not quite complete even

though they're all awesome. No offence. This is from the bottom of my heart.

See...

So I think, the point sgslI9003 said is clear enough.

Work in collaborative environment is maybe a good suggestion in order to create

a complete, beautiful, smooth, Custom ROM for example, get to be done completely.

A good suggestion from sgslI9003 indeed.

But every single person have their own opinion to create and get their works done.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] anigr88:
If the developer need to work together in any circumstances they should use Skype for it ....

I gave one practical suggestions :-P

Until then let them to excel in their job :-D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] :
Oh kay! Let me explain you everything now.

Let us take an example of My ROM.

First, I developed the VETA version of the ROM. Then I found the GPS to be faulty. I asked sakindia123 on what he did to fix the GPS, hence, The gPS bug officially done!

Second, yamachirobe had some problem with his GPS and some other minor problems. He asked me and some of his doubts were clarified.

As Far as the OTG and all is concerned. THe primary dev. will take place only in the stock ROM. Custom ROM's are the ones where these will be implemented once we are successful on teh Stock ROM. With every Dev. working on a differant ROM, We will have differant features which will be clubbed in every ROM with the updates. Also, Once the Call recording patch, TV-OUT and USB OTG are implemented, it will be easy for us to just download the kernel and implement it! Nothing bad, in more devs working on more ROMS :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] poolakkal Suresh:
Most ofthe ROMs here are compilation rather than calling it as a development as @Falex said. It's true since features are common (well almost) in all the ROMs except Themes & launchers. Whatever the features that are missing or unstable are because stock ROM lacks that. I feel Only Samsung can release a stable & a complete version of ROM on which our Devs can add up some flavours so that it look good on the plate. I mean working individually or collectively may not solve the issues for the moment. We have to depend on samsung since our beloved I9003 has some hardwares that are different from other famous/ common Android phones (correct me if am wrong) like GPU etc.
