Encrypted BitLocker drive is corrupted

I encrypted my micro SD card (the entire drive) using the new encryption mode (XTS-AES) of BitLocker with a password.

Then I accidently entered the SD card into an Android device, which corrupted the drive and transformed it in to a RAW drive.

After hearing about BitLocker Repair Tool, I attempted to recover it with repair-bde command. But it gives me this error.

Is there anything I can do to recover my data?

And how do I use the -KeyPackage option?

    The BitLocker key package is not saved by default. To save the package along with the recovery password in AD DS, you must select the Backup recovery password and key package option in the Group Policy settings that control the recovery method. You can also export the key package from a working volume.

    For your scenario, if repair-bde command no help and there is not a ADDS enviromnet, I am afraid that you need to format this SD card for use, because volume has been damaged.
