the reason for the questions about the phone is because fixing the phone may be the easiest/cheapest solution to the problem.

Yes i got what you are pointing at.
But lets "assume" the mobile pcb board is fried/or the phone has been factory reset. Is there any possibility for decryption?
As far as i know the user password encrypts ----> the master password which -----> encrypts the user data on the SD card. Now the question is, is there any way around to get it, apart from the Bruteforce (maybe)? and what if we DUMP the Mobile phone's EMMC contents? would we be able to get the master key in some partition?

I think that Most Pro. in any field MUST diagnose it again and re-evaluate, for some people (experts) it might be beyond repair, but for others ITS NOT and CAN BE FIXED
honestly, i saw and met real experts i mean repair experts doing the impossible and it all depends on $$$ (budget) and how important is the data
Back to the main subject, to answer your question If you Encrypt the MicroSD via android and by some how you factory reset the phone then it means the Enc. Key is gone/changed
i got to know that some experts claim to recover it back if the phone is not touched after (its possible in theory and few talks about it,, join the club).
Conclusion:
If you or your client are not going to pay then i wish you good luck with this case
its not going to be easy,, but again not impossible.
good luck
