Unlock micro sd card

I use a SD/MicroSD to USB 2.0 adapter made by SoCal Trade, which came with my 64GB card when I bought it (e.g. amazon.com/dp/B00JAO8MMU/ ), but there are many others.

NB Put the MicroSDHC card in the adapter and THEN plug it into a USB port... i.e. do not plug the SD/SDHC or MicroSDHC/SDXC card into the adapter while the adapter is under power by the USB port. Hot plugging can damage SD/Micro/SDHC/SDXC cards, in my experience.


Another way is to attach the device to a computer with a USB adapter cord (be sure the device is 'unlocked' or the card may not be accessible).

Micro Secure Digital memory cards, or Micro SD cards, provide storage for a variety of different kinds of devices, including mobile phones, PDAs and cameras. They can be protected by passwords so that the information that you have saved on it is secure. Sometimes, the password can be forgotten or lost. Recovering your password is easily done with your computer and SD card reader on your computer.

Place the micro SD card into your card reader on your computer. Right-click your "Start" button and then "Explore". Find the micro SD card, it will be listed as a removable drive. Click on the micro SD card and the files will show on the right-hand side. Find the file that says " MMCSTORE" and then select "Copy." Right-click on your desktop and then click "Paste." This will move the MMCSTORE file to the desktop so that you can get access to edit it. Right-click on the MMCSTORE and then click on "Open With." Open the file with Notepad. Read the text to find the password. It will be in plain text. Remove the SD card from the computer and place it into the device for which it is used as storage. Turn on the device. When it prompts you for the password, enter it. Hope this helps.

It sounds like in your situation that you may have a bad card. If you cannot get your card to mount to your phone for storage, I would try to find access to a pc that has an SD card slot that you can try to format it that way. If the card still wont format, your looking at a defective card and will need to purchase a new one.

You can find Micro SD cards here for purchase.

Welcome to FixYa!

To have more storage capacity for your phone, delete unimportant SMS in your INBOX, OUTBOX and SENT ITEMS. Delete also unimportant pictures, videos, music and ringtones. The phone memory is relatively small and is shared to all data and other files that are stored in the phone. By deleting some of these will free you some memory.

Alternatively, you can also put in a Micro SD memory card(Memory Card model depends to what your cell phone is compatible of, Micro SD is a sample) to your phone which will also increase its storage capacity. A Micro SD Card look something like the picture below.



A 16GB Micro SD is available at AMAZON http://astore.amazon.com/doityousol-20/detail/B001L1H0SC

Thank you for using FixYa.
Have a great day.

Hi there,

You need to get a reader/writer like this one;
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...
I use this one because it support all the latest formats. Older readers might not read the SDHC (High Capacity) format and you don't nead that. Pop the reader into a USB port and the card will show in File Explorer just like a hard drive. Right click it and select Format. Go with FAT32 format for most storage cards.
Post back if it is not working we will be happy to help you.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!!!!

try
SanDisk 8GB microSDHC Memory Card with a card reader and check whether there is problems, and also try the card with other mobiles and find whether there are problems, if there is a problem we can understand that the card is destroyed , you can replace the card with other one now.

You can try contacting the manufacturer if you by happen to have the receipt and get your money back...I save all that stuff now in a folder cause quality just doesn't exist on anything anymore like it did 30 years ago. Take it back where you got it...even if you don't have a receipt, if you make enough ruckus, maybe you can get it exchanged. It's messed up about the data though...hopefully you had a second copy on your computer (backup?)

Sorry to hear your problem.
I have a Blackberry Curve that did the same thing to me. I had a 8gb micro SD in there for a few month and suddenly all my data was gone . I also could not reformat disk either. Never fixed the problem ans was forced to buy a new card.

Some questions to ask are:
How old is the second disk?

think of your daily patterns are you going around some area or working around something that could damage your card?

again, sorry for your misfortune. I thought my feedback would let you know you are not alone this happens to these memory cards and it it hard to pinpoint to problem.

try one more card and monitor your daily routine, x-rays, airport scanner, high magnetic areas all can do damage. Otherwise it may be the phone.
