Storage Manager

Storage Manager
Based on original Windows CE Storage Manager.
Install CAB file and go to Settings->System->Storage Manager
This program allow you to manage your stores and partitions.
You can format and dismount store.
You can create new/delete/mount/dismount partitions in store.
If your partition have FAT file system, you can also format, run scandisk and defragmentator.
On format tool you can select cluster size.
Scandisk can find errors in your SD, CF card.
I didn't test it, because all my attempts to create a lost clusters on SD 32mb failed
If someone know how/can test it, please do it.
Defragementator is very slow, but it works, at least on my 32 mb SD card.
I try to defragment 1 Gb SD and wait during a hour, but it didn't finish it.
I don't recommend to do experiments with your system stores and partitions.
You can create several partitions on your SD, CF card and it works!
I create a four partitions on my SD 32mb card and it works!
I have SD Card, SD Card2, SD Card3 and SD Card4 now.
You should careful use this tool.

Hi,
Seems a very useful tool. Thanks for developing it. I'm installing now.
WB

thanx seems to be very useful

Would be interested to know if we could take a 4gb card which does not work on PPC 6700 and make 2 2gb partitions, would this work anyone???

interesting, gonna check this out.

I don't know, because I haven't 4 GB card.
Somebody should try it.

YO DUDE!!!!
This app ROCKS!!!!
Been having so much trouble with my 4gb SD (infact two 4gb SD cards, both would go corrupt if I loaded more than 2gb on them), but I tried your app, and now I have two 2gb partitions (well 1.95gb actually, but it'll do me nicely!!).
Finally, I can now watch the rest of heroes at work!!!
LOL
Thanks again

do you test it well?
try to fill both partitions by files and check it.
You should be sure that it works, otherwise you can have problems in future.

Yeah, have been testing the integrity of the partitions and the first one is fine, but the second one is still being silly, and Im still getting corrupt files on the 2nd one.
Not really sure what to do now!!!
(
Might try and create 3 partions, one 2gb, and two 1gb ones. Lets see what happens then!!
RR

Ok, just tried the 3 partition idea and.......it didn't work!!!
Was unable to create a third, so instead I have one 2gb and one 1.5 gb, as the cards total capacity is supposed to be 3.98 gb, but I thought I'd reduce it a little (Im sure I won't miss 400mb).
So just testing the second partition now, will report back with results.....
RR

oh...
I think, driver can't translate large offsets.
my pocket (Dell x51v) already have SDHC driver, isn't it?
I can try to extract it using my ROM Extractor, correct relocations and send to you for testing.
Possible it will work, so wait.

Great utility. Just what I need.
But I'm trying to run it on my 2GB card and it stops about half-way through. Any idea? Before it stopped it recovered about a dozen files (xxxxxx.chk). I've tried re-running it but it always halts at the same point

4 gb Card Trouble

I am having some trouble with my 4gb card in my XV6800. I have had it since January and been happily adding things to it and deleting them at will. Now I am having a problem with it however. I can add things to it through My Computer etc on windows and it shows up fine. But after a few hours when I go back into it on File Explorer on the phone any changes I have made are not in effect.
This includes both things that I added that are not there, and things that I have deleted that re-appear. Any ideas? It is not helping my wanting to install cabs and set up my UC config as you can imagine.
I know that they are transferring at some point because I m,anaged to install a cab from there last night, this morning, the original cab and folder is gone.

I'd suggest backing up everything currently on the card first, then formatting it using a card reader. Once the format completes, restore your files and see if your problems still exist.
P.S. Any microsd card <= 2gb will work for flashing. Anything > 2gb won't.

I agree with this... backup your storage card, and format it using software on your device such as CNETX FlashFormat... that seemed to do the trick when I was having issues related to the Storage Card

I was getting the error" file protected". I did lots of research, tried to format it in both my phone and laptop to no avail. I used diffrent software,nothing gave. Some people claim that putting clear tape on the SD adapter lock did the trick for them. Anyway, I contacted SD as my last resort,got an RMA and now I am awaiting a replacement. I did a back up and transferred all to 1 GB that I had as a back up.
FYI
I used SD Formatter V2.O and Hard disk Wipe tool (hddguru.com) , Format claimed to be successful but data was always there. This started after I installed TOMTOM maps on the card. Good luck man

there is a cab to enable sd cards over 2GB for the titan
i suggest some searching, if i come across it ill post the link

I have Tom Tom on my card, but then I have done from the start and I have only had the problems pretty recently. My computer wont read the card in the built in card reader in my computer, but it reads the new 1gb one fine.
Also, the phone does recognize it because I can play music off it, I just cannot add files to it or delete from it.
I have tried to format it with CNETX FlashFormat and it doesn't seem to work, everything is still on there as before.
Very annoying, I am going to contact SanDisk

Good idea man, it sounds like you have the same prob I do. Try putting tape on the protection switch on the adapter. It didn't work for me but who knows!

THE SDHC EncFiltLog file CORRUPTION SOLVED

PROBLEM:
Now, the problem all started when try to format the micro SDHC on the phone or on the PC with card reader.
Tried with differ format program also low level not worked.
DONT USE THESE!!! Waste of time!!!
SOLUTION:
So after doing some thinking about the situation, I figured that there was a problem with the card inserted and find the file EncFiltLog on it.
It is the WM 6.1 encription file. You can't delete, move files from or in to the SDHC.
The best way to solve this issue, as the hard-reset DOES NOTHING to fix this issue, would be to have windows hopefully find the connected device and format it. Here are the EASY steps which DO NOT involve using a dozen computers and has provided the same result EVERY time; which is a working on my 8gig memory in my HTC HD.
1. Connect the HD to the computer and select DISK DRIVE as the option on the on-screen popup on your phone. Don’t select ACTIVE SYNC. If you miss it, then go into your phone and press START>SETTINGS>CONNECTIONS TAB>USB to PC and select the bullet of DISK DRIVE and hit ok.
2. On your computer, (USING A WINDOWS XP MACHINE), go into your "My computer"
3. A window for will open with two columns.(If not, change the view to "Group") We are looking at the RIGHT side right now. In there is has three categories, and we are only focusing on ONE of them. LOOK for STORAGE which should be the center category.
4. Click with right to the desired "Storage device; A: ; D: E;", it will take a minute or two depending on your computer speed and environment to populate your hard drive and connected memory devices.
5. You will eventually see your PHONE internal storage listed. IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME BECAUSE YOUR PHONE INTERNAL STORAGE IS CORRUPTED!
***BE SURE WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT IS IN FACT YOUR PHONE AND NOTHING SOMETHING ELSE LIKE YOUR MAIN HARD DRIVE OR SOME OTHER STORAGE DEVICE WITH IMPORTANT FILES ON THERE***
****I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU FORMAT THE WRONG DEVICE***
6. Choose format and let it format the drive. This should also take a few minutes. Select FAT32 and name is whatever you want! Let this finish COMPLETLY!
**Your almost done**
7. Now you can copy, anything you want on it, but if you put again in to the PDA then the
EncFiltLog will come on again. But at least you not have to throw away the card,
you can use it again.
8. Finally my last comment:
If you want to speed up the card (.cab installation, copy, move ...etc.....)
the best way after all this work listed above, you should made a BACKUP from all your PERSONALITIES and
make a HARD RESET.
After it should speed up all the programs and processions with the card.
If you done then one IMPORTANT THING!:
YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER TAP ON THE CARD ENCRIPTION IN THE SETTINGS,
NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!!
Hope this helps you all out!!
BTW: I want to say thanks to XDA-FORUM (all people) to make my life easier
and to found the right gadgets to use, to play and enjoy it....

Wow - not bad at all for a first post!
Welcome to the forum!
Thanks for providing a solution!

Yesterday it happens for the second time that my SD-Card gets corrupt again, the first time it happens with a 8 Gb SDHC Sandisk and now with a 16 Gb.! After a hard-reset.Didn't know before I read this post that this could happen ever!??
And indeed I couldn't write or read on the card or format it again, even with a cardreader!
Both cards are useless about €120,- thrown away, gone
Didn't know before I read this post, that this is an WM 6.1 encription issue. Never used or even tap it.
Now I format another 8Gb like the way you describe here, i hope that when i need to do another hard-reset i can use the card again!
BTW, its a little bit strange to me that there are so little reaction from other users here about EncFiltLog problem?
I hope that there will come a solution in WM 6.1 to prevent that b!llsh!t.
Thanks for the great support, i hope it realy works!

Nice post
I have one more question:
What may happen when I delete this encryption file? Is it possible?
P.S. Sorry for my english :/

Hi Everyone!
The best way, if you purchase a new card, to FORMAT at first.
Then you put in to your phone and try not to teke it out any more.
If you want to use it as USB reader the as I write in my first post
START>SETTINGS>CONNECTIONS TAB>USB to PC and select the bullet of DISK DRIVE and hit ok .
In this case you can use the phone as a card reader.
It is speed up the file transfer vs. ACTIVESYNC.
If the card is not recognised ether way then,
because of the too much taking out - - put it back; went to faulty.
You can go back to the store for guarantee replacement.
The EncFiltLog is a problem only if you encrypted the card.
The solution to delete it and use as new card described in my first post.
If you put a new card in to the Phone then this file seem to be created by the OP system.
You can delete with format, but it will come back again and again.

Your right, the file is still there again!
But I have also a question about a next( hope not) hardreset on my device!
Is it better to format the SD-card (with USB on the device) before or after the hard-reset to save the further use of the card?
Because in my experience you have to start installing everything over again, because the data on the card was anyway corrupt and useless.

It is NOT recommended to use the MS Windows Format command to re-format any SDHC card - it will format them, of course, but with the wrong cluster size, slowing access speed down and possibly causing other problems.
I would suggest to always use a tool like Panasonic's SD Formatter when formating any kind of SD card. You can get it here: http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/sd_formatter.html

Also good to know, but does it also prevent or solve that EncFiltLog problem?
Is there no registry tweak to turn off or delete that W 6.1 encryption option anyway?

No as far as I know.

Will creating a read-only, hidden folder called "EncFltLog.menc" on the card prevent this problem?

What do you mean?How do you do?

HI folks, glad to find some peeps who are suffering from the same problem...
The solution here seems not to work for me, as I hard-reset my TouchHD before I found out about that encryption ****up...
Is there any solution that allows you to reformat the card?
Not to mention that I NEVER touched that damn encryption option as I really never trust M$ that far with my data... seems it got me Pwned anyways...
Anyone ever tried to Write M$, tell them what a bunch of wacky Ho's they are and demand a new miniSD Card from them?
sorry for my language but atm I mad as hell as I just lost a 8GB and a 16GB sanDisk...
I experienced a lot of bc during all the yaers messing with M$ stuff but this ****up ins unbelievable...

I had the same problem with my 8gb sandisk.
I would like to add that I was able to retrieve most of my files from the memory card using EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard Professional. You need to do the data recovery before attempting to reformat the card.

Hi guys sorry for messing around in your forum but this post is the closest solution to my problem. I cannot format or save anything to my 16gb sandisk card because of that bloody encryption file. Now the problem is that I'm a Kaiser user and I do not have disk mode in my phone, so has anyone successfully formatted their card without using disk mode?

one very quik question. Does this fix the problem for good? you can use the sdhc card with the phone or will it always end up with menc file?

card unreadable in one night
Yesterday, my sdhc 8gb card was working properly but in just one night something happened to it. In the morning, I came to know that it is not more being recognized by htc hd2. Every time I soft reset or hard reset the phone a message come up saying "Do you want to format this storage card to make it readable? this will permanently delete any files on the card." when I click no nothing happens and phone keeps on working and if I click yes then the card is formatted in just 1 second. I tried formatting the card myself from phone format tool (there is format card tool in tools section of the phone) but it is showing only 30.61 mb instead of 8gb.
After reading this thread, I think the problem is with EncFiltLog. Actually I backup my phone and card yesterday with sprite backup. I also backup EncFiltLog on my pc. Now after hard resetting the phone I delete the newly created EncFiltLog file by the fresh WM 6.5 installation after hard reset. I deleted that file from my pc by using the phone card storage as disk drive instead of activesync and simply shift+delete the file from removable storage in My computer. After that I copied all the phone card backup (including EncFiltLog - old one) on the freshly hard reset phone. Now all of sudden in just one night phone sdhc card is not able to recognized by phone.
Moral of the story: Never backup EncFiltLog. Keep the newly created EncFiltLog file by wm 6.5 after hard reset and copy your all files and folder from card backup to phone card (excluding EncFiltLog) after a hard reset. Don't ever overwrite the newly created EncFiltLog.menc file with old one from backup.
Reason: I think WM 6.5 pairs the newly created EncFiltLog with its some key on phone internal storage. Remember how encryption works? I am talking about public key and private key pairing. I think WM6.5 pairs one key stored in EncFiltLog with another key stored inside the phone interal storage which is itself freshly created after the hard reset but when we copy the old EncFiltLog from storage card backup to freshly hard reset phone storage card, those key pairs won't match anymore and windows mobile 6.5 simply locks up the card.
it is my own opinion.

One more clue
Ok guys, I've got one more clue after googling and reading other threads on this forum. May be HTC is supplying fake 8gb sdhc card with hd2.
I've came on that conclusion because yesterday there was more than 5 gb space left on my phone storage card. In the night RSS Hub software has updated all the feeds and stored those feeds on storage card (I've set feeds to be stored on storage card). I think something has been gone wrong there. May be the actual capacity of this fake storage cards in far less than what is written/claimed on the card (i.e. 8gb). In the night as soon as the RSS Hub stored feed on the card, it somehow corrupted the card FAT writting its data on sectors of the card where it should not be.
Hence the card is corrupted now just showing 30.61 mb instead of 8gb. There exists no solution for this situtation till now. I've sent mail to HTC regarding this on their customer support page. Let's see what would happen now. I suspect either HTC or my dealer would say that the storage card don't come under warranty. Let's see now. I will update the thread soon.

My problem is the same.....
after HSPL I faced "Do you want to format this storage card to make it readable?..." and after that I lost my mSD.
Format Storage Card didn't worked. it shows 30.61MB , Cluster Size: 0KB
also Clear Storage didn't worked...
System > Memory > Storage Card > Total storage card memory: Not installed
Is there any other way to fix this problem? because of my country, it is difficult to use HTC Service...

Just bought 32Gb micro sd.

I need a little assistace please.
I have 16Gb card from day one with Leo, and installed over 80 apps on it, and many my docs settings and so on.
What would be the safest way to trasfer everything as it is to new 32gB card.
use somenthing like norton ghost? i thing just copy and paste wont work, and i would like to avoid that.
Thanx for any helpful advice.

Personally, I would use copy & paste. Either connect your device as a USB drive, or use a card reader. Copy everything from the root of the card to a folder on your PC, then swap the cards and copy everything back. It should just work - nice and simple.

i got an error in few seconds...
some file reported an error, and copy process stopped...
it would be easy, i know, but i just does not work...there are (i guess) some 10000 files on that card, and chances are some are garbled.
so i would avoid filesystem alltogether and try to clone, and if that does not work, then c/p folder by folder if it does not go other way.

I connected my HD2 as a drive, copied the entire 16GB card to a folder on my PC, formatted the new card, copied everything back, absolutely perfect.

Yep, disk drive mode, or just put the card in a USB card reader. I just did that for 8-> 16GB swap. There's no "better" solution.

No, the errors are probably due to the fact that your HD2 was running apps that are located on the SD and are 'locked' that way. So they will not be copied...
Just take the SD-card out, put it in a card reader of some sort and just copy & paste everything to a hard disk, and copy it to your new SD card. Should work 100%.

can anyone help?

Did you enable "show hidden files" in your file manager on your PC? Sounds as if you havent copied all the hidden files.

SD card only works 2/16 gigs
Might be unrelated, but I could use some help with my microSDHC 16gig and 8gig
I've used a card reader and the phone itself via activesync to copy files. Once I fill up to past 2gigs of files, any additional music or video file no longer functions and weird symbols appear in my folders and I guess you call it "corruption"
I've formatted and scanned for errors and still the same thing happens.
What is up?!

Yep. I had the exact same thing with a "8GB" memory stick, that turned out to actually be 1GB.

according to my knowledge, u can't copy like that, u need to hardreset your device and then using new microsd.
may be I am wrong, but it happen last time when I am using omnia i900. and it might be every sdcard has the different id.
or check with flash memory toolkit, it will show the information of ur micro sd

Definitely not mate - you must have had a problem with something if you needed to hard reset to swap SD cards. One of the selling points of most up-to-date devices is "hot-swapping". Did you maybe have encryption switched on?

Damaged SD Card?

Hey guys,
Was using my Vega fine the other day...
Was using the new shuttle tool to read from a usb stick and all was working fine. Gone to use it today and it says the SD card is damaged and can't read it?
Have i done some thing wrong?
Its telling me to format it but i dont want to do this as it has ALL my apps and everything else are on it!

Can you connect your SD on a computer?
Then you could try and backup your data, format it and restore data back onto your SD.

Will give it a go!

Nope, it is still showing as corrupt!
So means I need start all over again right? What could have caused this then?
Do people take a nanodroid back up and save to a PC for just this occasion?

Ok, have got the vega ok again however all the Apps that were stored on the SD card are naturally not working, says that they are not installed... so going to the market on the vega I can see about 10 that are not installed.. have installed these and all are fine. I go to the market on the PC and can log in fine, go to my apps and can see all the apps that are on the vega, however if i now to go to install them again it says i have no device linked to this account? How? I have not changed any thing? Any ideas?

I have also made my SD card corrupt in my SGS.
Corruption on SD card occurs if your phone crashes and you take the battery out (abnormal shutdowns).
But don't know how the Vega could get SD card corruption, you can't take the battery out and as it seems you're the only case here.
Maybe your microSD card was already corrupt when you bought it.
And you first noticed corruption when you wrote to that bad sector on your SD card.
It could have also slowly degraded and more and more corruption could occur.

hi,
i've similar issue, but once i reseat the sdcard it's fine again.
i also notice if i insert a mobile stick it shows sdcard requires format - damage...
maybe it's the format of the sdcard?

If you actually have corruption on your SD then I would suggest you try to test it more extensively.
Calculate how much free space do you have on your SD card and then find data with same size on another computer (actually it must be few MB less than free space on your SD) and make an MD5 hash from those files (create MD5 file with hashes and filenames).
Insert the SD card into your computer or connect it thru your phone/tablet.
Copy those files from your computer onto your SD card to fill it up as much as possible.
Restart your computer and phone/tablet.
Then copy those files back from your SD card onto your computer and verify the MD5 file against the copied files.
It's a strong possibility that you would then notice CRC missmatches.
If not then your SD card is really safe.
My phone says that the SD card is OK, but some files there don't copy back at its full length, therefore become corrupted.

Im not 100% sure i understand... Can you explain the MD5 file bit again pls?

In short MD5 is a short hashed value that is uniqe for each content/file (if file content is the same). With that MD5 value you can check content/file integrity (that some content hasn't become corrupted in a transfer process).
If you're using windows I really can't help you much there, because I use Linux.
I think this one works OK (you can also make SFV, MD5 is not really needed):

If it doesn't work for you, you can find some more if you go to:
http://www.download.com
and search for "md5" there.
Microsoft has also an app for checking file integrity.
Or you can google for "md5sum" for more info (google knows everything).

are you running a custom rom or stock rom? The reason I ask is because I have had errors on nearly all the Modaco roms I have tested and the solution was to use moddedstockv2 and upgrade to vegacomb9 (I know it seems extreme but it is a much more stable rom than the modaco roms in my experience)

Loui - I on th latest Vegacomb
Yani - cheers for your help mate.

Ah well it may well be just a hardware problem then (I'm sorry I know that is not much help to you) perhaps you could tell us how lod the stick is or if you have been copying lots of files to and from it.
The reason I ask is because all things have limits and expiry dates even if they are not shouted about on the packet; Maybe the stick has reached one of these limits. If not then you could probably get a refund from the store you bought it from or a replacement from the vendor (as I recently got for western digital hard-drive that had SMART failure)
Also is it working okay now or have you had issues since the corruption?

The card is only about 3 weeks old, has not had much use if honest. Seems to be working ok now although since the market issues I have not been using it any where near as much as before so I cant give an accurate answer.
I think it may have been me messing around with the host mode or some thing as it did say i had removd a card that was mounted... i hadnt, i had just turned some thing off... so it could well be that which caused it!
Thanks for the info though mate, might see if can get a refund!

Hi, I had the same issue, I had tried to move an app from tablet to SD card I then got the same error message about the SD card needed too be formated. Check your card in your PC, it will most likely be OK. I then reinstalled vegacomb 3.2 update 3. Make sure you wipe cache, factory reset and wipe Delvic then reinstal.
That will fix the issue, the chances of your micro SD card becoming unstable after 3 weeks are slim.

I often have this problem but after a restart it works again.
