are you LE ? whats the case ?
just gunna pm you
if you mean "are you in the LE, no, i was just committed by LE to investigate on this device.. that's it.
Hi,
** The card you are looking at is NOT an SD card **
It is the older-type MMC, which (correctly) only has 7 pins not 9. That said, I would expect most SD/MMC readers to support MMC cards by standard MMC and/or SPI access, so it doesn't help solve your issue of why the card seems to be non-accessible to you, but thought it worth mentioning to avoid some possible confusions.
You said "i know that the device is working for sure, so the idea of it beeing damaged is impossible." - in which case I'd suggest trying an alternative (forensically sound, assuming this is important to you) SD/MMC reader if possible, checking the contacts, and then try a logic analyzer or scope on the pins during access to monitor/verify operation connectivity if the problem persists. Re-verifying by whatever method you "know the device working for sure" if possible, and monitoring the pins during that operation for comparison could be an option.

The full datasheet for your card

i'm using a tableau Multimedia card reader, wich is supposed to work correctly with such media.
whenever i'll be able to put my hands on the device this card was used on, i'll check again if it still works, or if it was somehow damaged during the delivery to my lab..
and useless to say that if it happened, i'll kick their but really HARD.
ok, got news, the device came to my hands and i put this mmc inside this device, and it f….. works.

so now i dunno what to do )
since it's confirmed that the memory card (i use this term couse it's not acting like an SD nor an MMC) now i have to find a way to read its content.
i don't have the tools neded to electronically monitor the pin activities, do you know if there is any sort of data logger to use for such devices?
something i can put between the device and the card to monitor the data transfer?
Looks very much like a MMC.
Could it be SecureMMC? Those are encrypted in some way, but I'm not sure how. But that might be one possible reason you can't read it straight off.
That card looks like MMC (MultiMediaCard). I have a few of them in my draw to compare with. You may have issues accessing it if for example it has been in a mobile phone (Nokia for example) which has activated a password on it.
you mean i can't even dump it?
the problem is that the card is not even recognized by the card reader.
it's not a filesystem encryption problem or any kind of filesystem issue, it's just i can't "see" the device… like nothing is inserted in the sd card reader.
in linux it also says IO error in dmesg

Then, the bet is that you don't have the appropriate drivers for the reader device you are using. What does the documentation of that Tableu device say? (Their web page says compatible with 'most Linux distribtions' which is a little too vague for my taste.) And as it is also said to be bus powered, you may also want to check that the H/W platform you are using does provide the necessary USB bus power. If not, things may not work as expected.
And you also better check up on the particular distribiution of linux that you are using – does it support MMC? If its hardware compatibility list only lists SD devices, … anyway, you probably want to report that IO error to the appropriate bug reporting place for the distribution you are using.
