It may be our fault that a lot of things dont get upgraded to their full potential. I don't mean all of us, I mean those that pirate paid apps. If you worked for weeks developing an amazing game and poured a lot into it wouldn't you be pissed if you saw the APK file on a torrent site 2 days later with a crack? I wouldn't really want to upgrade at that point knowing that my product had reached a massive market via pirating rather than them paying for my hard work. It's just a thought... Pirating paid apps is wrong. Install all the third party apps you want but pay for the apps you need if in fact they are paid apps...

I just bought a Kaiser on eBay, it should be here saturday. I did good spending $50 compared to my first one a year and a half ago at $350. Anyway, I am going to be using this phone for the next 2-3 weeks, if my Hero worked fine I wouldnt have bought one, but since I will be using it so long, I need some help. Ive been on android forever and flashing ROMs is easy compared to when I used winmo. Do you flash RUU's from the phone or from windows? If you have to use a comp, can it be done with mac? Also, I need a reccomendation on a FAST ROM with touchflo 3d (If there is such a thing)..Any help is very much appreciated! Anything that I do to it needs to be reliable since I will actually keep this one as a backup! Im just desperate for something that works alright until my Desire comes in :D

Now, I know some people have gotten Android to work marvelously on their HD2's. I used to have Android working perfectly as well, but now I can't shutdown my phone without having to reformat my sd card in order to get android to work again.

[HD2 General] rkarab:
If you have ruined your Micro SD by installing WP7 over it, here is the solution;

First and the fastest solution is to find a friend with a Nokia symbian phone like N8. Insert the card into the phone, phone says "locked SD" press cancel when it attempts for unclock code. Then use tools menu and select reformat. Get along well with that friend if you ever plan to flash WP7 again.

Second solution is to flash a NAND Android build with working USB storage while keeping the same card in the HD2. When flashing Android recognizes the card and creates a 200 MB partition on it. So this seems to be your card's new capacity. After flashing connect to a PC and select USB storage mode. Now you are done with the HD2, leave it connected in this state.

Windows (Win7 in my case) can see and even quick format the card as USB drive. However you need to low level format with flash erase. Search the forum (or use google) and get the program "SDFormatter V2.9.0.5" of Panasonic. Install it to your PC. When you run it, pick your SD drive, click options, choose Full (Erase ON) in the Format Type and "ON" in the format size adjustment tab. Then click format on the main window. Now you can leave and find something else to kill your time. Depending on the size of your SD this may take a few hours. When it is done, congratulations, you have recovered your SD. Depending on the assigned allocation unit size, Android may not recognize your SD, but your PC surely does. in this case, you need to quick format your SD with Win 7 or another program by choosing default allocation size.

The point here is, if Android recognizes the card, which means it can bypass the "Secure Digital" locking mechanism, then SD is not "secured" anymore and we should be able to format it to the proper capacity in the same way it automatically does for the preset 200MB. I guess lock is somehow removed by MAGLDR (or Android) and we only need to wipe out everything on the SD.
[HD2 General] beergenius:
I just reflashed Android(NAND), then reformatted sd card and have 14GB space available. Then saw this post. Will do rest to get all of my SDCard back. Thanks.
[HD2 General] King Paculus:
SDFormatter v3.0 (BETA)

I had the same problem with WP7 "shrinking" my card. After reading this thread, I searched for SDFormatter and found BETA v3.0. Using that, I was able to just put my card into my PC's card reader and do a format, and got my full 16Gb back.

Just make sure you choose FORMAT TYPE as "FULL" (Erase or OverWrite -- I used "Erase" but I doubt it matters), and most importantly, set FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT to "On."
[HD2 General] vinbomb:
okay, i've tried using minitools partition to try and delete the 200mb partition and then recreate the entire 16gb that is my microsd as well as sdformatter with full (erase as well as overwrite) with size adjustment on but the problem is that i can only see one partition, the 200mb partition, i can't even see the the second partition or whatever that wp7 created

anyone have any other solutions?
[HD2 General] King Paculus:
When SDFormatter finished formatting your card, you should have gotten a pop-up giving you the results and listing the size of the card.

On that pop-up, did it say 200MB or had it changed to 14.8GB (which is the usable space on a 16GB card)?
[HD2 General] OndraSter:
Just simply flash WinMo and use HTC's SD Card format tool in it, works fine (I did it myself that way).
[HD2 General] truc007:
When you format, you format a partition.

WM7 creates 2 partitions, the first one 200Mb and the rest of the SD for the 2nd.

To recover the SD:

1/ delete all partitions (I used EASEUS but many other soft will work, Win7 disk managment will not)

2/ create a new partition

3/ format it.

When I can't recover a disk I use a bootable distri of Linux, it's powerful to manage disks (sorry I've lost my disk so google will be your friend).
[HD2 General] retlem:
Great!

worked but had to do it via card reader on computer. Found SDFormatter V 3.0 and set to full erase and overwrite. Took about an hour but got my memory back! Thanks!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[HD2 General] Guzman70:
Nokia E51 did the trick :)

Just to confirm that a humble Nokia E51 was good enough to format an encrypted SDHC 16GB Kingstone Class 4.

After doctor Nokia's cure, I was able to recover all the space, I then used "SD Formatter 3.1" tool in order to totally clean up the card, just in case.

Repeated the trick also against a 16GB SDHC Class 10 Trascend, same great result :)

HTH
[HD2 General] Dmitryy:
Nothing worked

Tried 5 Nokia phones (no E51 unfortunately), some of them ask for a password even if I say Format or delete the password. Some say that the card is corrupted and refuse to format it. Can anyone advise anything. I have an original SanDisk 16 gb SDHC class 2 card from HD2 T-Mobile. It was locked by WP and I cannot use it anymore.

Any advise will be much appreciated !!
[HD2 General] Spaqin:
OP's advice doesn't work?

Oh.

I assume that you got rid of it by installing Android. And I assume you haven't got rid of your HD2 yet. If second assumption is wrong, you may go and look for a device that can see the card. If only the first is wrong, skip the next paragraph.

Flash WP7 again. Updating it isn't necessary, but the tool may not work.

Download DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab from here. Send it to your device through WP7 Cab Sender. If you don't have it, download it from here. If you don't know how to use it - put the .cab next to the "WP7 Update Cab Sender.bat" file.

Use it. Double-click that .bat file, exit Zune, wait few seconds and press S. It doesn't work? Install the tool from "if needed install this tool" folder. No need to reboot, just go to that .bat file and press S again. The phone will reboot and the cab will be installed. On the phone tap that key icon, tap OK and ta-dah - the card is unlocked. Turn off WP7, take the card out, use it. Optional - get rid of WP7.
[HD2 General] Dmitryy:
Thank you for your reply. I still have HD2 and it runs Mango just fine. The thing is that 16 gb card was the one that didn't want to work properly with WP. So I bought another one (not one :)))) ) Transcend 8gb class 4 and it works fine. So, right now I have one useless 16gb card and I decided to bring it back to life. My only concern, If I switch the cards, will I loose any data on my 8 gig card (I have installed all soft that I need, and I do not want to loose it ), or maybe my phone will start to behave strange? I'm really tired of hard resets and re-installs.

Thank you in advance.

PS

That is why I was trying Nokia "trick"
[HD2 General] Spaqin:
No, the files should be there. But! WP7 may not boot and tell you that you have to use your 8gb sd. If it doesnt - good, you may unlock it. If it does, then... You will need to hardreset WP7 and that deletes all your files. Or turn it off and go back to your working card and look for devices that may see and format your 16gb.
[HD2 General] Dmitryy:
Thanks, will try what you suggested :)
[HD2 General] jabi_james:

[HD2 General] chillem85:
All of this doesn't seem to work for me. I keep ending up in a boot loop when trying the DEV_STORAGELOCK method. The only WP7 version that i can get to work is XBmod 7004 as the HD2 also ends up in a boot loop when i try to update it. My pc won't recognize my card in any way. And the sad thing is that I only have 1 card with me at the moment. any solutions??
[HD2 General] Skellyyy:
Haven't read the whole thread but Panasonic's SD formatter works a treat if you have access to anything that can mount the SD card to a PC.
[HD2 General] Ryoukou:
anyone here who also had the problem that even SD formatter cannot repair the SD card?
[HD2 General] Rahmani10:
well before formating any way to get the data on the SD card back? 16GB SD card is like 10-15 USD its not a big issue if u lose the card, but the issue actually is in the data that we might loose :(
[HD2 General] Anduvir:
If u want to get back your data u can use O&O Disk Recovery. This program restored my files from formatted and locked SD card.
[HD2 General] DannyBiker:
I don't get that part. What key icon ?

At the end of the cab update, the phone reboot again in WP7; I've read that doing so it locks the sd card again. So the all things makes no sense to me.

I saw a web tutorial just a few days ago that unlocked the card on a PC with a card reader and some downloadable software. Of course i cant find it anymore :-)

ill keep looking and post back if i do find it.

If i remember correctly it was showing how to create a partition in order to install Android on a card that had already been locked by WP7.5

In my mind the big question is why the people at MS think it s necessary to lock cards in the first place
[HD2 General] Whatdoyaknow:
If there is some trick I'd love to hear it.

The ones I've tried don't work as they rely on Windows recognizing the SD card. A fully bricked card cannot be recognized by windows at all and that's the problem. I've tried a few methods without success. Unix or Android may work. But all Android systems that I can find for HD2 require an SD card to load
