After a few weeks of missery, mda resetting all the time, today it crashed again and told me the permanent save data is corrupt..
I would like to get back what can be saved so I tryed to look in the folder PerSaveData but I can't enter it.
Has anyone got a suggestion how I can
-open the folder PerSaveData
-Restore the diskspace where PerSaveData is on
There must be something left to rescue??

Is there any way to boot a Wizard into a safe mode?
I dont want to hard reset , it boots, I put it my passcode and THEN it hangs, so it boots but something is killing it before it fully loads.
I think its the today screen itself that is hanging in, is there any way to disable/remove today plugins through active sync ? Add/Remove programs wont work, so am thinking I could probably disable the plugins and then reboot.....
If when you boot the phone and it hangs, it is still visible by Activestink, you could do in to your phone and remove the plugin files... then reboot, and if that in fact was causing the problem you might be ok.
Otherwise you'll be hard resetting. Hope you made a backup!
Yeah, it syncs if I dont put the password in. Only thing I would lose would be my SMS messages which haven't been backed up in a while. Bugger will be getting a new license for Opera.
Any idea where the plugins files are?
The thing that broke it was I installed O2 plus. I re-enabled RhinoStats cause I wanted to know how much CPU was taking, and I think it was the combo of these two things which broke it.
If I hold the power key down it does ask if I want to turn off my device, which is "nice"..... it's not dead but it certainly doesnt do much.
It wont add/remove programs, it gets half way through then dies.
ANd what happens if you break a today plugin? Does it fail to load and then have windows clean up after itself? Or does it royally break things?
Wont let me delete the rhinostats dll file and I dont know which O2 files I can delete so I shall not be touching those.
Have removed the sim card, will see if that helps get it into some sort of working state so I can fix the problems it seems to be having. -> Answer, no. Just shows a different screen when it gets round to breaking.
Any more ideas?
Ok, I dont know how I managed to do it, but this time (having now re-inserted my sim and removed the 2Gb SD card) it didn't immediatly die.
I cant explain it, I dont know if this is a coincidence, but I have now de-installed O2 plus and disabled all the today plugins I could find. I shall now be running a new backup.....
Now let's see if it dies.....
On a side note, anyone know of a way of exporting all the SMS messages in a format that is readable by a desktop computer (preferably via notepad/nano)?
if u want to backup ur sms msgs, there is a file called cemail.vol.
copy it to ur storage card, hard reset, then copy iy back again.

Hi Mohammad, i can't copy/paste it as it is locked by something. How to do it?
Regards...
try renaming the current cemail.vol to anything ..like cemail.volx then copy the old cemail.vol into the same directory where the new cemail.vol resides. soft reset.

btw: even renaming does not work because of the file being locked...
Tried checking it on my phone, and yes it can't, i guess this only works with Smartphones. I'm sorry for that.

I encountered the following problems all at once,and I think they are related to the same cause.
A) While trying to install an application, I got a message saying that the CAB installation was not successful,
B) when I try to uninstall any application via start>setting>system>remove program, none of no applications are listed.
C) I have an error message 'Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and the file is not in use' is I try to delete file/folder or to move or rename them. This is so for microdrive, SD, and main memory.
I've done a hard reset. But as soon as I use Sprite Restore, the above problems come back.
Has anyone come across this problem before? I think some unknown processes is locking up my device. In desktop environment, when we have this problem, there is a utility called UNLOCK to solve the problem. Is there an equivalent tool in WM5 environment?
Appreciate any help you guy can give on this.
I have another issue with memory. Sometimes it will show me that the Mini SD is full even if it is empty or i will not show the files in the Mini so i have to reset and then it will be fine. has anybody had this ptoblem before.
I solve the problem by restoring from a day old backup copy using Sprite restore. Initially I tried to restore only the system data and leave the document etc unchanged. However it didn't work. The problem went away after I did a complete restore.
Looks like there is an invisible lock places in the unit, making it looks as is all files and folders are being used by another program. We definitely need a utility program to deal with this because while my approach did solve the problem,I also lost a day's data.
hi friend my name is joee i m frm india...i got i mate k-jam...(MDAvario) yesterde one of my friend handling my phone..he try to remove some unwanted file frm device to memory card..then he accidently move window folder to memory card..but its not transfered to it...n now i m not able 2 work on windows..i can make call only..but cant operate all window program..even i cant run a camera...the message i got on screen is"shortcut target- error opening the shortcut or locatind the target filename"....pls help me
Which were the files your friend thought were unwanted and transfered .Never transfer,remove or delete any files of which you are not sure what its related to.Transfer back all the files to their original location and do a 'Hard Reset' hope it'll work out,otherwise,if you have deleted any files,you'll have to Reflash the Rom again.
Cheers!
Best bet is to get into bootloader mode and load the default ROM from your phone service provider (AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.). You may lose your personal data, but you'll get back your PPC.
as i said, i tried to boot using that Monocube Safemode program and it locked up during the boot. when it finally booted up, it went through the set up process like a new install (align the screen, set time zone, install themes, ect...). now, its like the Program Files folder is empty, but anything that was located in other places on the phone, like ring tones in the Windows folder, or shortcuts i had to manually place in the Start menu folder seem to still be there. also, i dont think everything is completely gone, because a memory check shows my Storage and Program memory to be at the same numbers they were before the "reset". its like everything is still there, but hidden somehow.
any ideas on how to find my stuff, or where it might have gone?
sounds like a partial "hard reset" - I had that a few times...
always did a hard reset after that and installed everything again.
ok, for some reason, almost everything but the actual Windows folder was moved into the Windows/StartUp folder. i got almost everything back in place, i am just trying to figure out how to move the .vol files since the new ones that were created are "in use"

Hi,
On 1st Jan i had to do a hard-reset of the device. Since then, regardless of the applications i've installed... my Xperia has been working with remarkable performance! But Alas! today after i was testing out new software, i ran into a new problem.
Though the performance of the device hasn't lagged, but whenever i do a soft reset, i get an error saying 'a problem has occurred with services.exe'.
Any ideas? It seems to me that it is starting something that doesn't exist anymore? Is there a startup manager app that i could use or something like that?
Best Regards.
Salman Khalid.
Oh never mind... i found that SKTools has a startup app manager, but that didn't help. I also checked missing links in registry and stuff, but still no luck... so i ended up hard resetting the phone. (true that the error came only once when you soft-reset the phone and that the phone's performance was not at all degraded, but it was annoying me crazy! )
What is the piece of software you have intalled that prior to the error ?
I think Services.exe is a system file, if that is missing or damaged you may have to do another hard reset, aslong as youve saved everything to your Pc or memory card, its ok.
One thing you have to watch with a hard reset is the system files left on the memory card from your prev install, using file explorer, click menu, show all files, and look for any folder on the memory card called things like cache, programs, MSMETADATA, WMDRM, etc, basicall anything you have not specifically copied there manually.
If you dont delete these files windows will boot up and get confused and try to follow settings you had for your last install.

I installed over 10 different apps in under 10 minutes and it coule have been any one of them. Services.exe was neither corrupted nor missing, as that would have resulted in continuous errors, but like i said; the error came up only once once i rebooted.
Anyhow... i've already hard-reset the device after being unable to figure out what caused the error. As for the MicroSD card... i did a full format of the card as i can easily copy all the stuff back in from my laptop again as needed...
Thanks!
