Need to reformat micro-sd card in up stage phone

Hi

You need SD Card adapter in order to use it in a desktop or you can get a MicroSD USB card reader

Look at link attached 2GB Micro SD Card with SD Adapter Giveaway Phone Memory Card Micro SD Card Reader Adaptor USB

These cards have a switch on them to protect them just change the position and you should be able to format it.

Have a try of Stellar Photo Recovery, which supports restore any deleted or lost files from mobile phone's sd card.

Hello,

You can format your micro-SD Card using a software which you can download by clicking this link. I uploaded it to my FTP site for you and it will be there for a limited time. Download that file and save it to your PC. Then unzip that ".zip" file.

If you format micro SD card connecting it to your PC via USB port, it may not ask for password. (I think your phone asks password to format.)

To format your micro-sd card:

- First plug in your micro-sd card into you PC.

- Run the downloaded "HPUSBFW_2.2.3_MASTER.exe" file.

- In the program menu window, select the device (your memory card).

- Select FAT32 as file system,

- Confirm that all the format options unchecked. (Uncheck the quick format option)

- And click the "Start" button to begin formatting.


Hope this helps you.

An 8GB micro SD card will actually be a micro SDHC card. Older SD devices care incompatible at the basic hardware level with the SDHC specification: they can only use standard SD variants. In theory that means a micro SD up to 4GB but in practice I've found very few pre-SDHC devices which will reliably handle more than 2GB SD cards without a firmware update.

I hope that this answers your question and ask in return only that you take a moment to rate my answer.

If it hasn't, then please add a comment with the exact make and model of the older phone and also of the 8GB micro-SD card and I'll investigate further before posting a reply for you.

Hi,

Its better to avoid using disk management to format to format the card.

Use this formatter to format(usually the memory cards are factory formatted in the FAT or FAT 3).

Or

Usually its better to format the card using the phone only. 

Good Luck.

to reformat micro sd card in your phone

go to menu>my stuff>select removable disc or memeory card then select options>format

>>or you can reformat the micro sd card using your pc
>>connect the sd card to the memeory card reader then connect it to the memory card adapter

>>go to my computer then select removable disc then right click then select format

Did you try to format the card in the device thru Windows Media Player, or Rhapsody? If so, try formatting it thru My Computer instead. My Computer>Device Name>Right Click and select format. It is most likely NOT a virus if you have only put music on the device. It is most likely a corrupt file, or a database error. Best of Luck.
