in addition i can say that it has been ok so far it started to happen just like that.

Sounds like your card needs re-formatting.
Re-format is as FAT.
Unfortunately you'll loose data that you had on it. Back it up from a PC if you need to first..
Charlie Grillo
thank u for ur advice but how do u do that ? i have no card reader..can i do it while card in the wizard ??
wondering too
yeah i also wonder how to format mini sd without card reader. Is there any program (ppc) for backup and formating card?
Download trial versions of storage tools or sktools (google them) and you will be able to format the card on your device.
Hi everyone,
I have a major problem with my Vogue. I restarted the phone last night and after it rebooted the data on my storagecard was missing. If I check the storage card on the Vogue it still says that 4.6 gig out of 8 is used however the files can't been seen from total commander, file explorer, or windows XP. What is the problem? Is there anything to recover the lost/unseen data? Your help would be greatly aprechiated!!!

I just had the same problem, switch the view to folder view, see if you can view it that way.
I've seen that happen too... and I just soft reset again. Usually works.
You could also try removing the card, soft reset, and replacing the card.
I tried the soft reset, and soft reset with out the micro sd card with no luck. I found some free data recovery software called PC Inspector File Recovery. Its scanning now and should be done in a couple hours. I'll let you know if there is any luck.
infected!!
your card is infected by virus "system.exe", memory status is shown but no data.
you r going the right way, recover data using recovery software and after that u will need to format u r card with a low level formatting tool...
......this is all my experience....am not an expert.......
Do you think I should do a hard reset to my Touch or am I ok with just recoevering the data and formating the SD card?
yes, you should hard reset ur device....
Bummer.. I wish I logged all the system reg edits I did... Well I guess in the end a hardreset will probaly speed up the device anyway.
Hi.
I got a problem with my HTC Touch HD.
It's running on the stock Rom Windows Mobile 6.1 and i tried yesterday to install
[Glossy Themed Eclair(2.0.1]+[Android 2.1 with SENSE (beta).. NEW BUILD (08/04/2010)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I installed it on a clean 8 Gb SD card and ran harriet once. After att bootup sequence the phone went black so i did a soft reset and pulled the SD card.
Since then whenever i am in normal Windows Mobile i can't run most of my installed programs.
And i cannot uninstall or reinstall new or old programs. When i try to install a program it goes so far as to accept the certificate for the program but stopps directly after that with an error message that says the program did not install.
Any ideas on what the problem is. I would like to avoid a hard reset. I did a backup of most of the stuff on the phones internal memory but not all of it.
Thanks Imposter.
...
make sure you backed up you files, contacts, mag etc
hard reset..
format sd.. (fat32)
put only android on sd (not in a folder)
complete startup settings (wm)
run android
select blackstone
install to sd
wait for android to boot
it takes about 15-20mins (blackstone)
then screen goes black
wait for a vibration
it will boot android to a lock screen
wait for everything to boot up.. (operator etc)
unlock..
Well that's just the problem i cannot backup my files because i cannot install any programs like SPB Backup to do a backup. I can manually via ActiveSync copy files but then i won't get everything like i would with a backup program.

Nobody got any ideas on how i can solve the problem so i can install or run programs on my Blackstone?
I tried to start programs that doesn't need to be installed but i get the same error message that the "program cannot be opened or.....".
...
just back up what you can via active sync..
you WILL need to hard reset or reflash..
or
try uninstall everything if you can??
If You can be so kind and help me with THIS problem: I bought the phone with lock and wallpaper password (the seller keeps saying thtat knows nothing about it - I don't belive him - somebody had to set this password.) I cant find the way to reset this password to use the phone normally .
I tried to solve the problem by replaceing SD CARD but:
When i pull out 8GB original SD card out (SANDISK CLASS 4)- phone starts normally and doesn't ask about password. When i put the card in again -phone is locked again and what is more showing info that next possible try to enter the password is after 1690 minutes!!! I put in another SD card from my HTC HD2 (SAN DISK 8GB , CLASS 2) and have made a phone reset (trough menu).Than i made the reset witht pulling out battery during the screen turnes black during restart. It didn't help - the phone doesn't see this card and shows only 15,7 MB of space. Mybe I should buy another new SD card and try again with this one...? Any ideas? I dont what to do...Thanks

I put a reply up on the Dell forums for you
Thanks - but here is my answe-post on Your advise and continuation of my problems...
Well - I dont know if it makes sense or not but the facts are:
1. My phone starts and works without any sd card in slot - shows only 15,7 MB of memory then
2. If i follow the process You explained my phone does not go in to the process of hard/sof reset. I cant make him to go to any initial process/screen. By the way - after pulling out battery/replaceing sd/putting battery in - You mean the phone should automaticly contiuing this process of restart or i should turn power off ? Franlky saying i have to turn it on again because after puting battery in again nothong happens.
3. After restart situation is the same - phone didn't integrate system with SD card - shows only 15,7 MB of sapce
Any ideas what is wrong with it? Or mybe I am doing sth wrong?
Any other ideas of resetting this password and without replaceing oryginall SD CARD?

Ok....this is weird.
without an SD card, the memory should read around 408mb or so. So, what you're saying cannot b indicates something is not right. So, lets look at what is known:
1. SD card is not an interchangable item in WP7. If the device starts without a card. Then proceed without a card.
2. Stock memory without a card is around 400mb.
3. A hard reset and a soft reset are 2 different things. A soft reset, you can pull the battery. A hard reset will force you to set you device back up from scratch From what you describe, this is not happening.
So, step by step.
1. If your device starts without your SD card, pull the card and start your device.
2. On your device, go to Settings, then about, and choose reset your device.
3. Let the device rest, following any instructions on the screen. Eventually the device will reset, reboot, and ask you to set it up. Go ahead and log in with a Windows LIVE ID, but do not install anything else.
4. Once this is complete, go to Settings, About and read the memory setings. It should read about 400mb.
The device should now work. Does it?
If it does, then do this.
1. Go to settings, then about, and reset your device. Allow the device to begin to reboot.
2, While the screen is still black, pull the battery. Put the SD card. Put the battery back in, Start the device and allow the setup to continue.
3. Log in with a Windows Live ID and let the setup complete.
4. Go to settings, about, and look at the memory info. You should now see something like 15.9g instead of 15.7m.
If the first part does not work then something is wrong with the device. Most likely, no one here can help. You might have to call Dell for help...though there is little they can do.
let me know what happens...

I just thought of something else.....long shot. what if this is not an OS password but rather a SIM lock password or even a an unlock code required for a different sim in a branded phone?
Is your sim from TMOBILE?
Since you still haven't got this sorted, have you considered the possibility that the previous owner had an exchange account set up on the phone and that the exchange administrator mandated a password/strict security settings on the device?
That doesn't really explain why the lock remains after a wipe though....

His phone is not doing the things it should do. He claims he cannot hard reset it. So that makes me wonder about a few things.....but heck....he hasn't responded so maybe he got it working...
Hey guys. So I might have bought this phone off of eBay. So, now I'm stuck with it. A hard reset with the SD card out doesn't reset. I mean...it kind of does. If I change the theme color or save wifi passwords, I turn off the phone and turn it back on and all the settings are gone. It doesn't go through the setup, everything is just gone. A hard reset followed by a battery pull and new SD card doesn't work either. I think the hard reset just isn't working. I don't know how hard resets work, but seeing how the phone doesn't remember themes and wifi passwords (even the time and date...it resets to the default wrong time) when I turn it off and on, I don't think it can remember that it's supposed to do a hard reset when it turns back on after the beginning of the restart after I click "Reset". Again, I have no idea if that's even how hard resets work. Well...sorry that was long. Any ideas? Am I just stuck with a broken phone? I can get it in to "Download Mode". Can I install a ROM that way? Thanks!
Buy a new card, you can either go with the same card as the original Sandisk Class 4 8gb or buy a larger card.
Leave the original card in the phone and go to about > reset phone and reset it. Once the DELL logo appears take the battery out and put your new card in. Once that is done the phone will be reset fully.
This is the procedure when you replace the standard card included when you buy the phone off DELL.
I bought a new Venue Pro from Expansys and used this method to replace the included Sandisk 8GB card with a Sandisk 32GB card. Be careful about buying cheap 3rd party cards though.
Thanks for your reply, but the original SD has a password on it. A reset without the SD and a battery pull and a new SD should work the same way, right? The point is to get the phone all ready to reset the phone and when it turns off to restart and reset the phone, you pull the battery and put the SD in to trick it into formatting that SD, right? I figure it would work the same without an SD card. I think the problem is in the actual reboot process. The phone can't seem to remember that it's supposed to do a hard reset.
Pretty sure it should do, as long as it goes into the hard reset process then it should work the same as if there was a SDCard in it already.
Put the device into update mode by starting the phone with power + camera + vol down then use the WP7 Update Cab Sender to send the stock rom
Alright. Now we're getting somewhere. Okay. I found the stock cab for the Venue Pro. If I use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1240455 this tool with that cab, will the phone be reset to its factory setting when I boot up? I am wondering if the PIN lock on the unlock screen will still be there after doing this. Thanks.
Well try it and find out.

I almost bought that one a few weeks ago, but after doing some researching I found out the Dell Venue Pro is a little more resistant to being wiped than other WP7 devices, and I didn't want to risk having a phone I couldn't use. Apparently on most there's a key combo you can do to cause a reset on boot, but not on the DVP. On the DVP you have to start the hard reset with the SD it's expecting to be there. (which you can't do because of the password)
The one thing I found though that I thought had potential was this thread. If he posts the Lightning Service tools there I think those have a very good chance of resetting it for you if that other tool doesn't reset it for you.

Is that the new world record?
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
Hi all!
I have a HD2 with a 4gb SD, and I need to replace this card. When I put the new SD in HD2, the system show a SD error, and i cant use it.
I read entire the forum, and the only one thing to do it's hard reset with new SD! Ok, i've tried but Hard Reset on bootloader menu don't work, the progress bar i'ts so fast and says "complete", but windows it's not reseted.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks!
Sorry my bad english!
you pressed Volume up and down and power together?
also if you still have old card boot with her, go to settings - about - reset my phone... when phone reset, before start booting, insert new card
also you can try boot without card and do same reset
THANKS dxdy! You saved my life! This works so fine!
