Any Symbian phone can restore weird sd card format, especially like wp7's which isn't even readable on others. Old s60v3 can do that as well. (As long as device supports SDHC)

Maybe it helps someone - I messed up my microSD with a former btrfs format and @chemists android mount - something went wrong after an update and the card became unreadable and unfortunately unformatable - tried it with OS X, Linux and Windows as well as with several phones - nothing
Today I found my old N8 in the drawer and remembered the workaround for the WP7 sd cards and thought to give it a try and - success :-) - the N8 told me that the sd is password secured in first place but in the file manager I was able to choose format and - magic - it's back to live
What have we learned today - keep your old hardware, it can do things where modern devices struggle ;-)
Btw Symbian is still annoying from the point of user experience;-)
