Have you checked your phone? It may just be your pc not mounting the phones storage properly

Do you use a security app like Cerberus or the one from Google? These apps can reset your phone and erase everything when you enter the wrong code.

i had no security app and now even worse my tel wont boot up it wll go straight into twrp recovery.. so i gotta flash a new rom -.-' does anyone know which are twrp flashable zips? for a clean install?
Tried booting up and i get into the launcher but its all empy no menu nothing after pin unlock its so so weird

This might have manifested itself when you plugged your phone into your pc, still that's not what's the issue here. You did something wrong somewhere and if i were you, I'd"go back to stock" by following the thread with the same name.

thats not working perfect, thats called one f'd up phone.
sounds like a bad memory card and you can wipe and format all day long, the card is still bad.
are you using a different card than the one that came with the phone?
if so put the original back
if not, go get a different card.
if the original is bad take it to the sprnt store and see if they can replace it.

Did you guys put a support ticket in to Rockstar and a review on the game on the market? I had an issue trying to buy the game so I gave a review on put put a ticket in and they replied back saying they had fixed the issue. Easy peasy.
I was finally able to resolve this. BEWARE, the below entirely clears the SDCARD and all your data! This means your Nandroids will also be gone as well as any roms you have stored on your card! Backup to a pc before doing this..
reboot recovery
clear data /factory reset in cwm
Reboot to bootloader,
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem unlock
agree on phone
aokp 11 with franco 7.1, installed gta from market, finally worked although I think it should work with any rom.. was previously failing for me after factory reset.. had flashed lots of kernels and whatnot to cause it like many above. I still have the 90 degree problem with accelerometer steering
This is what I did to get mine to work on my Sony Tablet S. I tried to move it to the USB Storage in Manage Applications in the Settings but it said I was out of room. So I deleted some programs and then moved it to the USB storage and it started up. I hope this works for others. I tried all the options all the other people suggested here and other places.

Problem with the Internal Memory failing. Any Ideas?

A friend of mine had some problems and asked if I could look into it for him. I've never owned an Incredible so I don't really know much about it. I figured I'd post here and see if you guys can help.
Here's what he sent me:
"So I've got an Incredible and recently its been prompting me to do updates when I'm pretty sure my phone is up to date. So I click update and it says its going to reboot and then never does. So this morning I wake up and its like internal SD card cannot be read or something to that extent. But what's weird is that all my music still works but all my custom ringtones are broke. It's like the 8GB SD card is working, but the internal memory is failing. What do? "
Any ideas?

I assume its rooted, thats why the update wont go thru. As for the memory, does a reboot fix it?
Does this user also understand the concept of safely ejecting his phone before removing it from the computer (most importantly after moving, editing, or pasting files)?
Chances are, his sd card and internal memory could use a good 'disc checking' from a windows computer.. Lol

My cousin called me yesterday complaining of the same thing. He stated that he has been recieving OTA updates for the phone on a daily basis lately and since the first update has been getting an internal memory low popup on his Incredible.
His phone is NOT rooted and completely stock with the original SD card. Would like help from anyone else having this issue and knows what the deal is with the multiple OTA's coming in and killing memory.
Okay, here is what needs to happen if you are to get rid of that error..
Go to cyanogenmod and follow the wiki to root and ROM your phone...
Or, do the update...
Now, i would strongly recommend the first choice, as oppose to the second..
The stock software is disgusting.
Rooted cm7 will not only run a lot better for you, but you will be more up to date than the ota update.
You're phone most likely is running out of internal memory, because it is downloading the update and storing it in preparation.
Just do a google search for cyanogenmod, go to their site, click your device, then click the related wiki page..
Follow the instructions and check back here on xda if you have any questions.
Good luck

For the update to succeed, the phone has to be plugged into the wall charger.

System Status always Modified.

In a bit of a pickle.
No matter what I do, my system status is always modified.
I've unrooted with TA, flashed stock, then wiped cache, wipe data, and wipe cache.
It shows normal the first boot.
Then when it restarts, it's modified again.
Suggestions?

You have to do a data/factory reset in settings/backup and restore mate.That should fix it.
Tried that, still modified.
Get it rooted again. Install triangle away and use it. Then flash stock rom via odin, wipe cache/data and factory reset. Viola!
Thats what I did and it worked.

That's the steps I went through.
Are there any special steps I need before I flash via Odin?
Just TA?
Does it still show Normal after a restart?
Cos for me, it's shows Normal, and just after one reboot, it's automagically modified.
Try to factory reset again. I did it twice
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Done that loads of times.
As soon as I restart device, it shows modified.
I need to claim warranty, which is why I need it normal normal normal.
Could it be a problem of the stock firmware?
Does anyone know the CSC of the unlocked version of the N7100?
a friend of mine wanted to claim warranty at o2 in Leeds but couldn't due to device modified. He raised hell but the store wouldn't budge. One of the store sales people asked him if he had insurance, he had.. puked him to one side pretending to calm him down, and told him to go home, or coffee over the phone and come back tomorrow to claim insurance for a new phone.
My friend went back, did that.. and the store salesguy have him another phone under insurance.
My friend could b real lucky and might not work for u. For obvious reasons he won't tell me the name of the kind understanding fellow. But he left a letter of compliment for the sales guy good service.

I would do that, but won't accept a refurbished device over my new one.
If only they give new replacements.
Anyway, I finally got it back to Normal.
I used Kies to restore it, and it's on Normal no matter how many times I restart.
I think I just needed to reflash it twice to get it back to Normal.
We'll see what they say today, as I went in yesterday, and they somehow said my CSC isn't valid... wtf.
Apologies if not relevant...
...but my brand new, sealed box Vodafone N-7100 shows "Modified" until I remove the SD card, at which point it show "Unmodified" and allows update check etc. but as soon as I put in the SD card again.
I was panicking that it had been rooted or something but I think it's just a weird software bug. I found a guy in a forum mentioning the SD card thing and sure enough it fixed it for me.
My SD card is 64GB, formatted as exFAT by the phone itself, incidentally.
Anyone else having this problem with a 100% stock, unrooted, unhacked phone?
U mean if u insert a 64gb sdcard formatted to exfat or will show modified? That's weird. Lucky I use 32gb cards
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Hi,
Yes that's exactly right. I haven't actually tried formatting FAT32 to see if it has the same issue. Also I haven't tried other SD cards - I've only had the phone a short while.
I used to use the same SD card in my Galaxy S2 with no issues.

I have the same issue with a T-Mobile (US) version. Removing the 64GB exFAT micro SD card and rebooting causes the device status to change from Modified to Normal. Reinserting the micro SD card causes the device status to show as Modified. Is the only fix to format the SD card as FAT32?

You really need to check your original csc sold in your country, then you must download it from sammobile and flash again!

I haven't tried it either. The issue still exists following the T-Mobile system update that I just installed today. I was able to install the update with the SD card removed.

[Q] HUGE problem after Kies/JB 4.1 Update!

I will try to make this short and sweet...
"backed up" phone prior to letting Kies update my phone.
apparently everything but my photos/videos was backed up. (stupid me for not double checking that AND the version it was updating to)
updated phone. phone is pretty much useless now. (EVERY SINGLE APP freezes and crashes eventually)
wont connect VIA USB... knows it is connected and so does the computer. computer now refuses to install (it tries) anything involving MTP. all other drivers are installed. Kies can see the device.. tell me how many photos... but by the time I try to transfer anything Kies or the USB app on the phone freezes and crashes.
ive tried everything under the sun that is basic. uninstall drivers.. uninstall kies... reinstall things.. reboot. safe mode... USB debugging.. etc. NOTHING will get my computer to pull the files or the phone to stop crashing the programs.
I NEED to get these photographs from the phone.. there are at least 2k of them.
what are some options I have or things I could try?
and DO NOT say factory reset.. thats not an option until I get desperate.. do that and try some recovery software for photos.
thanks for any help. I have about a week or so to figure this out... so I can return this stupid galaxy express I had to buy just to have a functional phone.
Have you tried using a micro SD card and transfer your photos internally via a file manager app.

do you have a suggested app? and is this possible without going into the gallery cause that I cant even open... just freezes and fails
Why dont u just make a nandroid backup and wipe. Then flash the latest stock rom through odin. If that fixes the issue of freezing apps and your mtp problem you can restore the backup and should be straight.

Edit: also are you familiar with adb? You could boot to recovery and pull the photos with adb from there. And how much space is free on internal storage? The issues your experiencing sounds typical of full internal storage

Well to me it sounds like some issue was caused in the upgrade. Are you currently using a custom recovery? I ask because I have a feeling a factory reset will be your fix and with a custom recovery you could backup then wipe so you can troubleshoot w/o losing everything
And in the future once u fix this I recommend Dropbox which will automatically backup all those pictures so u dont have to worry about losing them again. Regardless of what you want to do to fix it we should be able to pull the pics even with mtp being borked

You could try rooting your phone and flashing a recovery. After that, go into the recovery and fix permissions. This won't delete anything and it's worth a shot.

no the phone has nothing special installed. looked into the custom recovery... and its not going to work (at least I dont think) cause I dont have a solid USB connection... as in it does "connect" per se. the phone knows its connected... the computer knows its connected but it doesnt show up as a drive like it used to.
In download mode, you shouldn't have problems like that.
