I inserted an SD card into my Samsung Omnia (WM 6.1). File Encryption is
turned off (unchecked) on the phone. However, when I took the card out and
tried reading it from a card reader, I see this EncFiltLog.menc file. I can't
write to the card or format it. How do I get around this problem?

with your PPC, disable the card encrypt

File Encryption is turned off (unchecked) on the phone. It was never turned on.

It must have been at some point for this card. Have you tried
enabling it on that device then disabling it?

Is the write-protect switch on the SD card in the locked
position?

No, that is the first thing that I checked.

Then I have to admit I am stumped. I've never seen a card that
you couldn't stick in your PC and just format. It could be a
defective card, allowing you to see the contents but not allowing
you to actually write to it. It may be totally unrelated to the
EncFltLog.menc file.

I got the following response from xda-developers:

There appears to be two scenario's here, and none of them you are going to
like.
If some of your files appear with .menc extension (and all your files are
there), this means they have been encrypted by WM6. The only way to recover
them is with the original device that wrote them.
Please note the following:
if you hard-reset or flash your device you will lose your original code, and
all files will become unreadable.
there is no way (as of yet) to find out the encryption code, or back it up
If you only have EncFiltLog.menc file on your SD card, and all your other
files are missing, it is extremely likely that you have had file corruption
on your SD card and your files have been erased.
Please note the following:
EncFiltLog.menc is a red-herring, it usually exists on all SD cards (I think
it's put there by WMP)
You may find a good program to recover your lost files. Do this soon, and
don't use the SD card before doing this.
I wouldn't rely on this SD card in the future for anything important.
I hope this helps. NB, I have found some good recovery programs for jpeg
files if you're interested. Sorry to be bearer of bad news.

But none of that explains your inability to format the card or
write new files to it.

I agree, so I too am stumped.

I am going to have to go with hardware failure on this one, which
stinks because that is the one that costs you money.

I have had the same issue with my memory card in my phone, Sony Ericsson X1,
and it def isnt a problem with the card as the card still accepts files when
using the Activesync.

I believe the file ENCFILTLOG.MENC is put onto the card when you first use
Activesync and so stops the transfers of files by any other device except
through the original mobile device.

Unfortunately I am still in the same position as you as I cannot get rid of
the file and I have tried various ways to do this including Resco File
Explorer which could not find the file on the device as the file changes its
name on the device than to when its on a card reader on your computer.

Windows themselves must know a way around this but whether they will tell
you I'm not so sure as I have had a troll through and cant see anyone
admitting to this???
