PART I: Prepare the new 256GB micro SDXC for Samsung Focus
(Working on NoDo Update too)

On desktop PC, install minitool partition wizard.

Using USB3 micro SDXC card reader and minitool partition wizard. I had to do each of these steps to get my HTC HD7 to recognize the 512GB micro SDXC.a. Delete all exFAT partitions.b. convert to GPT (from MBR).c. format micro SDXC 512GB to NTFS.d. Delete all partitions again.. Convert to MBR.. Format to FAT32.

Part II: Prepare HTC HD7

Remove back cover but leave battery in.

Go to Settings > About

Read carefully: Click Reset and confirm all software prompts --> BUT before phone actually completes a reboot --> remove the battery.

Disassemble the Samsung Focus and remove previous micro SDHC card (most likely 8GB or 16GB). (This video should help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EcGUX3NwnQ)

Install 256B micro SDXC.

Re-assemble Samsung Focus

Power On --> You should be good to go.

Sync whatever you want using Zune minus apps!

    This phone was my grandfather's. I found it again last year and it turned on after charging. However, my mom ended up throwing it across the room and now it won't turn on. What do I do to fix it?

      Turned it on for the first time in 10 years and it still works. It's held up surprisingly well.

                  Talal, 04 Feb 2015Can i upgrade 7.5 to windows 8 ? Please help me in this regard.nope wp 8 uses a completely different kernal from 7. the best you can do is 7.8 which has a few of the basic features added. I've been using it on this phone for a couple years now, its pretty servicible but I'm ready to upgrade

                        I bought this phone for my girl and it worked fine for a few days.. all of a sudden it cut off.. trying to charge it but just not happening.. the only thing the screen shows is the Samsung logo as if trying to boot up then nothing.. and when trying to charge it shows the battery very low then cut off. I would appreciate someone sending some advice on how to remedy the situation. Either on this site or directly to my email address michaelbey84@yahoo.com
