Cooked Rom With Internal Memory Fix?

does anyone know of a cooked rom with the internal memory fix. i have a touch diamond 3g. Thanks

Care to elaborate?

well the phone itself works fine but i tried to put music on it via WMDC and it deleted or corrupted the internal memory which the phone cannot find it says internal storage not installed. any roms with a fix for this problem?

Have you tried connecting the phone to a windows PC to see if you can see the internal storage that way?
You don't give us much to go on, to try and help you. The more info about your phone and what you did / have done would be good.

Ok this is everything.i have a HTC Touch Diamond 3G. I added music via WMDC and it did. i then went onto my phone and saw that none of the files were there. i then went to Settings-Memory and saw that it said that no storage card was installed. i tried about 40 times to try and get it to connect via Disk Drive and it never showed up. so then i did a soft reset and hard reset and still nothing. i then went online and saw that this guy had cooked the Internal memory hotfix priovided by HTC into a rom but when i tried to download the hotfix it it said that it is not compatible with my device. i then came here and noticed that you can cook hotfixes to the roms and im looking for one. thats about it. Any ideas on how i can get the memory back?

It could just be me, but I dont fully understand Sorry!
Did you know that when you connect your phone to your PC, that you have the option to have "faster file transfer" ? When you select this option, it disables the phone from accessing the internal storage. Try disconnecting your phone from your pc then try again!

i know it wont display it on the device but it should display it on the PC and it doesn't.

[Q] Problems with SD

Hello,
I searched high and mighty for answers before deciding to ask here but I think problem is too new to have previous post. Cyanogen FOrum won't let me post anything. I recently had someone put Cyanogen Mod on my Slide. It worked fine first day. When I started installing apps and moving them to SD is when things went downhill.
All of a sudden the SD does not mount to PC through phone anymore. I don't have an adapter to test the SD on PC directly. My GFs identical phone with same cyanogen mod works fine with my PC so I know it is no any driver issues with PC. I tried her SD card (verified working) in my phone thinking my SD was fried. Her SD did not work with my phone. I tried a hard rest on my phone but it did not bring back the notification bar pull-down option to toggle USB mode that I originally had when Cyangoen was first installed. I cannot reflash ROM without ability to access SD card through phone. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Have you checked that usb debugging is enabled? Which cm rom?

[Q] Help im about to go insane

I was busy trying out some new roms on my desire so i went to recovery and did full wipe and then tried to reboot the phone does not boot up now it gets the htc screen then i get the nexus cross screen then nothing just keeps on the nexus cross screen. I tried to do a recovery but no luck only had basic options. i fear i have put some of the back up aps or something onto the sd card and then when i did the wipe it deleted all the backup data and stuff im at a complete loss here.
i was running defrost rom.
when i plug the phone inot the comp it makes the noice to recognise it but then just shows up as removable disk and i cant enter that because it asks me for a disk or something
any help would be hugely appreciated im sat here about to scream hah

Sounds just like a bootloop, happens quite a lot if you flash incompatible themes etc
Just flash the ROM again and it should work, maybe another ROM if you have one on your SD card?

go to recovery then partitions menu then mount /sdcard then connect your phone to your pc should give you access to the sd card so you can place another rom on there & start afresh

[Q] computer not recognizing evo as a disk drive

Hey everyone first time poster here. I have been researching the question I have in the forums and have not found an answer to my question yet so I figured I would just ask it. I just recently bought my htc evo and tried transferring a SNES rom over to my evo from my PC. At first my computer would not recognize that I was trying to have my evo seen as a disk drive (yes I did have it set to disk drive and not to charge only or another option). eventually it worked (I dont even know what I did, if I did anything at all). After I put this ROM onto my phone my sd card is mounted as read only (cant get it back to write), and no matter what I do I cant get my computer to read my phone as a disk drive. I tried changing the disk drive to another letter which didnt work, under device manager my computer recognizes I have an android phone plugged into my computer, but it still will not show anything in the "my computer" folder, it sees I have a device in, but I click on it and it says "please insert a disk into removable disk F". If anyone can help with this I would greatly appreciate it and thank you for taking the time to read all of this.

Well the first thing to make sure of is that after plugging in the device you go to the notification bar and press on the USB Mass Storage notification, then select "Turn on USB storage". If you've done that simple step and it still doesn't see the SD card, then very simply try a different USB port on your computer.
Even if your card is in read only mode, you should still be able to read it
I don't know why it would be in read only unless you forgot to mount it with read/write after an advanced command.

interesting, I have never seen the option of "turn on mass USB storage" when I've gone to the notification bar? In my notification bar I have a picture of the sd card with a question mark over it. When I drop down the notification bar the notification pertaining to the sd card says "mounted readonly" and the explaination says "The SD card has an unexpected problem. Tapping...." I have no idea what it says after that as it wont allow me to view the rest of the explanation.
As for the problem that this is causing is that it seems I cannot save anything to the sd card. The camera stops working to where I cant take pictures, or download music, and I'm assuming that its because these functions need somewhere to save the files and since the card is on read only nothing will be allowed to save on it?

theres probably an error on the sd card, may need to reformat if its from a different phone too. Try to reformat, probably the only thing possible right now. But before you do that, go to your settings and enable usb debugging and see if that works first to allow your sd card to mount to the pc. Then it should be read as a drive. if not, your gonna have to reformat. so try this, if not, I can try to trouble shoot you more......

thanks for your reply. And yes I shouldve said before that I tried the USB debugging feature as well and that didn't do the job either. I saw reformatting as a suggestion in another thread but didnt see information on how to do it and that is out of my realm of knowledge. If you could explain to me how to do it I would greatly appreciate it.

yea, no problem man, just go to settings>sdcard/sd>unmount the volume>reformat!
let me know if that works for you if not, something else is wrong.

well I go into settings> SD phone & storage> Unmount SD card, is something supposed to happen or am I supposed to do something else? After I tap that nothing happens and the "format SD card" option isnt highlighted meaning its not even an option to choose.

Hmmm. Unmount then remount then umonint again turn the phone off and on see if the uloption highligjts

oh wow that worked man!! Thank you so much for your help, you just saved me a bunch of frustration, now it shows up as a disk drive on my computer and the sd card is read/write compatible. Can't thank you enough man, do you happen to know of a reason as to why this would happen? I mustve set it to be like that somehow I just can't imagine how I did that. Also is there an app or way to back up all your files and apps on your phone and sd card and transfer them to your computer just in case something like this happens again at least I'll have backups so I wont loose everything.

Glad i could hel you. Ita no problem that you cant thank me enough, just as long as we solvee tue prob. You Could have dropped your phone and it knocked the SD card around or it just didn't read it correctly on boot. As far as I know, I don't know of any apps to backup SD card contents and phone data. I would just make a nandroid backup and store on PC. So if you make any vital errors, u can restore using your recovery agent.

[Q] Incredibly stupid mistake, HELP :(

Hello all,
Wanted to thank Wildstang for the 2.3.4 update, but I was messing around with my wife's phone that got a botched OTA update and accidentally used the CLEAR STORAGE function on HBOOT in order to clear the cache. Instead, I've cleared all of her data, which wouldn't be horrible accept that many of her pictures were still on the phone. Those she hasn't posted to Facebook may be gone forever.
Is there any way to recover this lost data? Otherwise I am probably headed to divorce town.

Right now the phone is sitting on my desk, I haven't touched anything accept connect it to the USB. The USB drives show up since I have the UnRevoked USB driver, but when I click on them they say "Please insert disk into drive x:". I was hoping not to uverwrite any deleted data in case it can be recovered, but considering it's flash memorey, I am probably more than hosed. Is that correct?

U can try running a recovery program like this http://www.piriform.com/recuva after you boot the phone and mount it to you PC. The app is pretty simple to use, just select the drive you want to try and recovery the info from. I hope it helps cuz I know "If the wife ain't happy, u ain't happy!"

Thanks, I'm trying that right now. I had another utility that asked me what file system is used. Does Android use FAT32? I know it doesn't use NTFS

I know that's what the SD card should be formatted to, I assuming the internal memory is the same.

Windows is saying the drives are empty. On the HTC, I get the picture of the phone with a red hazard symbol, like it's not being recognized...
Edit: I finally got the computer to recognize the "Android Boot Loader Interface" from HBOOT, but can I access the internal storage from here, or would I have to actually let the OS load up?

Did you have the phone fully boot or no? I know when I used the Clear storage function before I had to reboot the phone before my PC would recognize the drive...

I've now restarted the phone, but I get the same disk error as in the OP: "Please insert a disk into Removable Drive x:". There are two drives.
Edit: Looks like I get the same thing when I booted into RECOVERY from the HBOOT screen or when I initially load the phone (haven't done ANY set up to lessen chances of corruption of recoverable files). It's like they're registering as Removable Drives without any media inserted...

I'm assuming that you are mounting the phone after you plug it into your PC right? If you pull down the status bar you'll see the usb symbol, select it and make sure you select the mounting option...

Yeah, it looks set to Charge Only, and the only way I can change that is be starting to configure the phone. Just hoping I do a minimal amount of damage to any files I might be able to recover.

You get that message if you don't mount the drives. In recovery you have to navigate into advanced options and mount the sd card and emmc so that your PC will recognize the drives.

OK, so all is not lost
Apparently, when one uses the CLEAR STORAGE option, it clears user data, but retains the rest of the file structure... including my wife's beloved pictures
With VZ Backup Assistant and her Google account, I can recover all of her contacts. So I've lost SMS messages history and apps... and I'm OK with these. I think she'll be OK too now that she knows her pics are safe.
I've learned a few things today, and will manually move her pics to the SD Card after this, in case the tech support guy (me) makes any more bonehead mistakes trying to fix a half-baked VZ OTA update. If I can convince her to root her phone, Titanium Backup can take care of everything else in the future.
Regardless, thanks for the help jackbtha1
