I've already CID-unlocked, SIM-unlocked my T-mobile MDA last month. I've flashed my ROM with the xelencin ROM that I found in the forums, as I thought it had most of the initial tweaks that I was looking at. Since then, I've installed a whole bunch of new programs to test out, but now it feels like my phone is bogged down.
I'd like to clean my phone of all its memory and go back to the state when I just flashed my rom with xelencin. Do I have to go and use the RUU again or can I just go to my settings -> clear storage -> 1234 and reset? Will this delete all the programs that I had installed on my storage card as well or will the files stay there?
Hard reset
Yes, a hard reset will clear everything. You do NOT need to reflash the ROM.
thanks
thanks for the heads up. i'm assuming the memory card can stay in without any problems...otherwise i can just take it out until it restarts.
i've flashed the radio rom to 2.47.11 since the ROM was made (started with 2.25.11). Is it safe to assume it'll stay with the 2.47.11 after a hard reset?
memory
I never bother taking the memory card out but then I back it up to my PC occasionally. There are certainly reports of memory card problems.
The radio rom will persist through a hard reset.
If you have created short cuts, it is a good idea to copy them to the SD card for easy reinstallation.
storage card not effected
ok, just an fyi, I did the clear reset with 1234, ok. storage card isn't effected by it...only the regular phone memory is wiped...it seems everything, including the files that I had changed in the \windows director for foreign language (asukal's wince.nls) files...

I started this new thread as the previous one on the same topic did not give any satifactory answers to this problem
I also the Windows mobile 6 upgrade to my HTC 8525. I did a restore of my previous data with sprite software. All went very well until I tried to use the camera.
I got "Unable to start camera. Not enough storage is available to complete this operation."
I have plenty of space in storage. The camera just refuses to work.
Searching the forums, I have only found one thread who has gotten this error message. I followed all the possible permotations to fix this. I tried to do a hard and soft reset and cleared my memory (both storage and program). Uninstalled several programs. I have a 2GB micro SD card with over 500MB of free storage on the phone. The camera still refuses to work.
What should I do next?
try removing the sd card then soft reset the device and when it has completed restarting windows insert the sd card and it should ask if you want to store images on there instead of main storage.
same deal
I did try that. It did not prompt me for anything after I reinserted my SD card. Any other suggestions.
Thanks

ive had this same problem for a while now and have resorted to using coolcamera.. my guess is that it has something to do with the backup. the problem on my end dosent come up until i restore a backup from spbbackup... so note what programs you have, hard reset, and start fresh...
the camera will be working.
This is because not enough ram is available, simply close any apps running in the backround and try again.hopefully u can end programs with X-Button. some of the "cooked" roms have way too many services running at boot and it almost impossible to make enough ram available.
fixed problem
Ifigured out this was a problem with the sprite backup software. For some reason when you back up some older programs with sprite and then do a system restore after having changed from WM5 to WM6, you loose the camera function. I fixed the problem by reseting my device to original manufacturers settings and then reinstalling the programs one by one without using sprite backup software. It was very time consuming ad I had to retrieve my saved data files and contacts before resetting the device. But my camera works fine now!
it happened to me some days ago aftyer restoring backup
a clean solution:
look for the camera oem package of pandora, look for the recistry settings in the .rgu file, translate it to a regedit4 compatible .reg file, execute it, and problem solved. it is a problem registry related. hope this helps
Recently found the "Recent Documents" showing nothing but black screen with "SD card is full or missing". Searched, and found just a few threads with a few fixes that didn't work. Lived with it, as I don't really use it. Today, I noticed "Settings>SD card and phone storage" shows 0.00 MB for Total, used, and Free SD card memory, when it's actually not quite half full right now (16g TMOUS version).
Testing just now, the camera is set to SD card for storage, but still puts the pics in \App. Data\HTC\HTC Album.
The SD card still works fine, everything is there, and other apps can use it fine. Resco properly shows total/used/free sizing. All apps on the card also work fine. 1st WinMo phone, so still learning things, and not entirely sure whats Sense and what isn't, but so far I think it's sense related only?
I did delete a bunch of sizable image cache files assuming they'd be recreated, which they did for everything I've checked that's not on the sd card.
No ideas?
hi, i have exactly the same problem. i already wrote a text to post in forums because i cant find anything on the internet about this problem.
my text: said:
im using different anja31 roms (Back to the roots FT2 base 161 / Next Generation 202 / and actually One Step Further 6.5.x) and have a strange effect with sense and my sdcard on all of them (not sure if i had this with 1.48 stockrom i used before). somtimes when i do a softreset, something went terribly wrong with manila. when you go to the settings tab and choose 'sdcard and phone storage', the sdcard is shown with 0.00mb at all/used/free. normaly it shows the amounts or if there is no card inserted it shows a text about that (see the attached pictures).
when i use the tool supplied by microsoft the correct amounts of the card is shown, also 99.9% of all programms have normal access to the sdcard. the only exceptions i found are the build in voicerecorder and the document tab. when my device is in that '0.00mb' state both programms refuse to work because there is no space on the card.
till now i tried to:
- take out and back in the card.
- softreset with/without card inserted.
- take out and back in the battery with/without card inserted.
- hardreset and restore a backup, (this only helps if the error was not already present at the time the backup is taken).
non of this helps, the card still shows 0.00mb in the manila settings, its like manila/sense refuse to read the card parameters again and use the old one over again and again. the only way to recover at the moment is to hardreset and hope that the last backup dosent have the bug already in. because if so i have to step back in my backup history and take older snapshots. i use sktools for backups.
does anybody else have this strange phenomenon? i think about using a different rom like artemis or ride the tube, but i dont want to make everything new from scratch (i never use backups when doing a rom change, to prevent side effects) only to discover the same problem again.

finaly (and because anja stopped rom developing) i gave up on this, and change to a ride the tube rom. the problem is not showing again, but this have nothing to say because the other roms are working for weeks without problems and then suddenly showup the error.
sorry that i cant help you, its more saying 'you are not alone'.
regards mad
ps. the first tow screenshoots show the 'normal' display with/without a card inserted. the third shows how it looks when the error came up, regardless if a card is inserted or not.
*EDIT:21.04.09* the rom has nothing to do wiht it. i could reproduce the problem 2 times, with the new installed rtt rtm3 rom. first time i disable/enable sense under the todayplugin settings to restart it. the result was a crash of sense and after a soft reset the sdcard shows 0.00mb. the second time i installed jetcetprint and worldcard mobile from a cab, after a softreset the sdcard was gone again.
SD Card is full or Missing - SOLVED
1. Delete the folder - Storage card\Application Data
2. Tab again the document tab - wait re-loading until finish searching all documents
3. Successful!
I am looking for a way to reset the stock sd card in my TMOUS hd2 back to factory settings. I went a little crazy with the cab files and such and i would like to start fresh but i dont want to delete anything by accident. i dont really care about backing up any personal stuff just really want a clean slate because my sd is a disaster zone. any help would be greatly appreciated.
ROM 3.14.531.1
RADIO 2.15.50.14
You could partition your SD card.
There are many, many ways to do this, depending on what you have available.
I would recommend you search this website for 'partition SD card' and pick a How-To that matches your capability.

I suggest calling or going by your local T-Mobile store. They sboulders .e able to tell you what files where orrigianaly on the sd card. I have the same problem as you and wish I would have done a back ul of my sd card before I everett added anything to it. I am not ready to totally clean my sd card yet though so I have not done my own suggestion yet.
why not make it easy on yourself? copy everything to your computer. format your card. copy back what you want. worked for me.
ok what im asking is if i want to change the wp7 rom that i currently use if i take out the storage card during flashing then restart the phone with the sd card inserted would it read everything as if nothing happened (because its already in wp7 format from previous build) would it remember all the stuff or do i have to reformat?
I thought of that and tried it but it did not work. I did reset the phone before partioning for dual boot. maybe trying without hiting reset may work. but i doubt it. However, wp7 seems to backup and restore some things on its own. some app reappeared on their own but not all. still trying to find out why
Just looking for some help guys.
A few days ago my phone suddenly dropped from 20mb free space to 4mb and wouldn't stop giving me the warning about available space.
SO I remember this was an issue with people who upgraded to Froyo. So I decided to wipe my phone. after the wipe the phone started rebooting everytime I installed/upgraded an app.
So I loaded up RSD Lite and flashed Froyo on it and the phone now randomly reboots about every 2 mins. I even tried downgrading to eclair, but it just gives me errors when the flash is complete.
So just looking to see if anyone has any recommendations, or is my phone destined for that great recycle bin in the sky?
Hi!
Well, I belive that I may remenber a similar issue some months ago... I dont remenber well how I really fixed and I almost sure that it fixed by reflashing again with froyo, sine this is the only resource that I had to try it out... also seems that when You upgrades to Froyo is not possible to downgrade/return to a previous android version (and it seems that is not only in FlipSide, so seems the same for other Moto models...)
so, by the way, I may suggest... Remove Your SiM and SD memory cards, Put the phone in flash mode an reflash the froyo again, and also backup you personal files from Your SD memory card and erase everything from SD memory card (prefer reformat your SD card) and then when Your phone reboot normal and after an initial setup BEFORE recopy your personal files, AGAIN reformat WITH YOUR PHONE MENU OPTION Your SD card and do an factory restart... may sounds silly so lot of erase and wipes... but in my case, after this such harsh cleanning make my trouble phones working fine and stable again, and after that I restore again my personal files to my SD card.
Good luck and best regards!

THanks, I think you're onto something with the SD card. I remember months ago I had an issue with the phone rebooting if I had this one certain SD card in my phone. Thanks for the help and joggin my memory.
