Hi All,
Im having a problem deleting files from my phone and memory card. It allows me to save them no problem but when i go to delete them it keeps telling me to make sure the file is not read only or write protected. This is also stopping me from connecting to my PC using Activesync as well.
Has anyone got any ideas how I can cure this.
Cheers

My mda is dead my display flatcabel is broken...
now i got to recover my contacts that i have saved on my sd card.
any idea how to restore them on pc?
Thanks
If you saved them on your SD card then just put the card into a card reader and copy them to your pc. Another thing, even though your display is dead, you may still be able to access the phone over activesync if it still boots.
I did already hard reset cause in first i meant that it was something wrong with software...
it destroyed all data on phone exept on sd card, i copied backup contacts file on pc but i dont have an idea how to open contacts on pc (is there somme kind of viewer or maybe virtual pocket pc for Xp)? i hear active sync signal when i connect Mda via usb but i dont see anything so i am not able to install anything or to do synchronization. And i still need my contacts...
Help
I've read where you can open the file that had your contacts in it up in a hex editor and it will allow you to view your contacts. Other than that, I don't know of any program that will open it up normally though. If all you're needing to do is see them, then that method should be ok. If you need to do more with them though you may want to explain what program you backed them up with and see if anyone else has any ideas.
By the way, there are programs that allow you to view what you would see on your phone on your PC. If you're still getting a good sync then using one of them should work. Here's the link to one I've tried that works well. - http://www.mymobiler.com/
Help please. All my data get lost!
I know the data on the card, but just cannot see them.
From checking the property of datacard, i know that all the data still on it. however, after open the card, just 2 files which i never know, all the others gone.
Don't know what my trinity did on my datacard wile i using the bluetooth internet sharing with my pc. After that, this happened.
All 1.4GB data disappeared!
Please, anyone can help?

sure, it's my pleasure to help others here.
I use wm6 with a 4GB MINI SDHC(Karmba 4.0). After i use bluetooth internet sharing with my laptop, i found that all 1.4GB data disapeared from my sd card. Instead of them, i saw 3 files which have strage name on them and cannot be opened. All these files are 0byte. Then i insert sd into my laptop, right click sd to check property, i knew all data still on sd card, because the property of sd card shows "1.4GB used". After that, i enable my laptop to see hiden files, not see anything from sd card again.
Finnally, i found a tool called "Final recovery". This tool bring the most of files back to me, not all of them.
I suppose, the internet sharing write all the internet temp files into my sd card, then all my data had been overwrited. So, even when i use recovery tool, cannot recover all of them.
Karmba 4.0 set internet cache and temp folder in the sd card by default(Karmba 4.1 maybe does the same thing). Thus, i think maybe this is where the problem comes from.
By the way, i really appreciate what Karmba did for all the user here. His rom is quite good, But i think 1.2 is the best one. The others really need debug.
Hope this information can help other people who have the same problem. Cheers.
It's nice for you to share about your experience regarding recovery.
However, I think it's worthy to point out that SD corruption could be caused by almost any program that access the card. It has been discussed many times in the forum.
It's actually a HTC bug, which goes unfixed. Artemis got a fix to its SD driver long time ago.... Anyway, prevention in my opinion is far better than recovery. Look for a program called "sdsentry" and it will notify you when the corruption occurs and allows you to reboot the machine to prevent the corrupted FAT image got written to the card itself. It will save your day. Try it.
I've searched for quite a while and can't find a thread on this, think I've managed to find a fairly unique problem!
Following a recent screen replacement (entirely successful apart from the following problem!!), my DHD is not recognising my SD card. I've tried a factory reset and fixing the permissions through CWM recovery.
I have also tried the SD card in another DHD which recognised it no problem.
I know that this could be a hardware issue due to my fumbling around, but there are several other small glitches that make me think that my rom might be the problem, so I'm wondering if there's a way of flashing a new rom without using the SD card?
Anyone who could provide me with instructions for doing this would be much appreciated!!
Thanks in advance.
Using a file manager, look in /mnt/
Do you see anything in there? i.e /sdcard?
If not then I'd say it was hardware, If you can try another SDCard in it, give that a whirl.
AFAIK, even if you run a RUU~.exe to restore you still need a SDCard as that transfers the rom.zip/PD98IMG.zip to your SDCard.
Not trying to teach you to suck eggs, but have you checked the contacts on the handset? Dirty/Obstruction/etc....
Suggestions,
1). Another SDCard
2). Finding a suitable RUU for your device & running (Search the DHD Dev forums for the RUUs).
Ok i've had a look in Astro.
Firstly I get a little error message saying "Error creating external cache".
Looking in /mnt, there are 4 folders: /asec /obb, /sdcard and /secure
All of these folders are empty according to Astro. If I attempt to create a new folder within any of them I get an error message.
Have turned up a new issue too - the usb connection is intermittent. It will sometimes give me the option to choose the connection type, but at other times it will just charge the phone. I've made sure I'm using the correct cable (i.e. one that is capable of data transfer - not just a charger!)
Have also tried someone else's sd card from their phone that I know is working and no joy.
Thanks for the suggestion about contacts, I hadn't thought of checking that to be honest. I seem to remember reading somewhere that the phone will not access the sd card if the bottom cover is not on properly (the contacts are not seated correctly?) - is this something I should check or have I made it up? I'll have a look at the sd card slot this weekend and make sure nothing is causing problems.
Will also do some research into RUU.
Thanks again for your response, much appreciated!
Problem solved! Seems it was to do with the back covers not being properly aligned.
Phew! Thanks for the suggestions.

After a couple of hours trying to find someone with the same problems as me I came up with nothing, so I decided to make a thread.
Firstly, I am no where near versed in device hacking so I am hoping these problems are just due to my ignorance.
My coworker rooted and loaded cm10 and teamwinrecovery onto my sprint GS3 and since then I have had a few issues. The most frustrating problem I am currently experiencing is the phone will not write anything to the external sd. There is no indication as to why this is the case. Under the storage option in settings it shows that it can read the external SD card yet programs seem to not be able to see that it is there. For example my camera will not give me the option to save photos to the external SD and programs like app 2 sd wont give me the option to transfer any of the apps to the SD card even ones that i know are supposed to work like Winamp. Also ive tried using DirectoryBind to change the directory of apps and music but I'm just prompted to create a new file because the data directory doesn't exist and asks if i want to create one. I tap yes and i am just prompted with the same error again and again.
My second main issue is when I dock my phone to my windows 7 PC I get an enigmatic problem. Either i get an error that says the USB malfunctioned and cannot be recognized and the SGS3 won't show up in mycomputer. Or, the default drivers install fine and the device will show up in windows. However, if i try syncing winamp or even dragging files over to my phone it will copy for anywhere from 1 second to 5 minutes and then windows will freeze and if i close the process it will crash windows and/or winamp. I tried installing the samsung usb drivers but then i just get a device ID error and it wont show up.
I was able to find some people with similar issues but not the constantly changing one i have. All the fixes that have been suggested have not worked.
I realize this is more likely an issue with my computer than my phone but when i was running stock it would work fine.
If anyone can provide some insight into these problems or can direct me to someone with a similar issue it would be much appreciated.
I really like CM10 but these issues are deal breakers for me and I dont really want to go through risking bricking my phone in order to try and get back to stock but i will if it will fix these problems.
Hey Guys,
I've got a big problem, maybe anybody can help.
Currently my girlfriend is spending a few weeks aboard at here
parent's house.
This morning she wrote me a message in a textfile aon her Nexus
Galaxy and and wonted to encrypt it first on pc, but after she
didnt manage to copy it via USB she tried openpgp keychain App.
During Copy and Paste tshe reported there are suddenly no
Folders and Files exccept "Android" Folder anymore in her
Filebrower.
Even after Rebooting the Storage remains like this and after
reboot only a "WhatsApp" Folder was added to the Android one.
Apperently her data is gone and shes not able to recover it via
the PC because it only is mounted as MTP/PTP Device on the PC.
Her Phone is not rooted and she never tried, she doesnt do any
fancy stuff with it just normal useage.
This Guid may could help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994705
but its not realy an option cause A: I think its to complicated
to do for her and I have no access to the device and B: the
available PC of her parents must be the slowest and oldest xp
maschine existing.
Does anybody have a clue how we could retrieve her data?
Importent to her are her pictures and a few work related text
files with important notes.
And while I read a lot of stuff about loosing data on attempting
to root, I didnt find any reports on cases where data was lost
without deleting it accedently or trieing to root.
Must she be concerend about her memory being damaged?
Thank you very much,
Stefan
