Windows 10: Windows 10 Mobile - how to find/recover bitlocker key in microSD?

Hello,

I have a Microsoft Lumia 640 which after rebooting several times (bootloop) simply didn't start. I removed the microSD and the phone boots just fine. The microSD then needs to be formatted in order to repair it. However, the same was encrypted with bitlocker by the phone. How can I obtain the recovery key from the bitlocker setup in the microSD?

I can access the phone without problems, and the microSD is read when inserted in a PC, however when trying to access it, the bitlocker messages appear telling me to introduce a USB drive with the recovery key. Is it possible to create such a thing from the lumia phone?

I have read the article https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/help/4026181/windows-10-find-my-bitlocker-recovery-key, but the same doesn't apply to windows phones, as the site https://account.microsoft.com/devices/recoverykey doesn't show any bitlocker key associated to the account used in the phone.

Does anyone have any suggestion? I know that the quickest solution would be to just format the microSD but I would like to rescue the information in my microSD


Device info: Windows 10 Mobile Version 1703 | Microsoft Lumia 640 LTE.


Regards.

It doesn't work. The specific device I need to recover the key is not on the list, neither an option to retrieve the BitLocker code using its Key ID as the blue screen says.
