Very strange,can't delete or add any file on my xda II

Strange indeed, I can't delete or add any file, when I try to do so, the small circle shows up to show that the pocket pc is working, then nothing happing it keeps going round till it blocks. I had this problem before and I solved it with a hard rest. I don't have the intention to hard reset again. Anyboby had this weird problem??

I might add that i can delete the files on my computer through activesync with no problem. I have O2 German upgraded to the T-mobile 1.60 english.. so any clues whatsoever???

What software do you have installed, I would be inclined to do a backup then hard reset, then when reinstalling software check if the problem occurs after each installation of your programs, this might pin it down to a program that is locking all files for some reason.

It seems that it happens randomly, cuz when I made a backup I didn't had this problem.Then when the problem occured I restored but the problem remailned. I have a lot of programs installed I wans doubting Microsoft voice command but the problem remailned after uninstalling it other programs(metro,tomtom 2,finger clix,fullscreen keyboard,sms writer,xcpuscalar,pocketMVP) any of these programs is known to force this problem. Thanks

I don't know that any of these programs by themselves are known to cause this behavior - but sometimes combinations of programs, glitches during installations, or any of a dozen other things can cause abnormal behavior.
I would agree with cruisin-thru . . . the only way to be sure if it is one of the programs you have installed, and if so which, is to do a hard-reset and install the programs one-at-a-time, giving some time for testing between installations.

Same problem here
Yep - I have had and currently have the same problem.
Uninstalling programs does not help, only a hard reset and then reinstall one by one testing as you go.
I have done a hard reset in the past, but never built it back up to the same spec, so have not pin pointed an app (if it is an app)
It may help if you compare to my install list ??
Let me know how it goes,

I think that there is a bug which appear only when you use the SD card slot.
I've the same strange randomic problem, the workaround is:
- Remove SD Card
- Softreset
- Reinsert SD Card
At least, you don't need hard reset anymore

I think that there is a bug which appear only when you use the SD card slot.

All I can say about that is that I use SD cards extensively, and I have never experienced the behavior that whafni77 describes. It could be . . . but I'm skeptical.

Maddoc ur the man, it really resolved the problem and u made me feel small not having thinked of that. For the rocord the only program in common with InaF is Pocket Bluetooth Tools, don't know if it has something to do with it. Thanks guys

Well what do you know!!!
Well Maddoc, this just goes to prove you learn something new every day!
o I tried to delete a file in File Explorer - it hung
o I killed off File Explorer from the running program list - probably not required, but just to prove the file had really been deleted
o I ejected my SD card - a very cheaply made one
o Soft Reset
o Tried to delete another file - and it worked !!
o Inserted the SD card
o Tried to delete another file - and it worked !!
I'm very happy, and the confusion as to why it is acting like this will soon disappear.
Thanks again!

That's the good part, the bad one is that you have to pull out the SD card every single time you do a soft reset, but I'm satisfied with that until someone knows what the heck is going on.

Just to add some extra informations...
In my office there are 2 qtek2020 users, me and another friend.
The only differences between devices is that i use SD cards regulary and only my device is having this kind of problem, the frequency of this problem arises when i use TOMTOM navigator and the maps are stored in SD card.
The results are the same with my 256mb sandisk and 128mb pretec.
Seems that at some point the QTEK2020( and i think also mda/imate etc... ) is unable to "receive" file change notifications( or something like that ) and the results are:
1) You can't delete file with "file explorer"( hourglass loop )
2) If you write a new note and save it, you can't even see the note on the list !!!
3) If you install another application, the program group/start menu is not updated !!!
BTW i've just reformatted my 256mb sd card with flashformat two days ago, no problem for the moment but i'm not using navigator now...
Thanks to all

I stand corrected! Partially anyway . . . :wink:
Since I do not use TomTom Navigator (or any other GPS software for that matter) it is conceivable that the software is corrupting the FAT on the SD card.
Have you tried using StorageTools (or other similar software) to scan (automatically fix all errors) and defrag the SD card to see if it has any effect?

Well I formatted the SD card(pdc 256) with storage tool and fixed all errors(tried fat32&16) but the problem still there. The thing remains to try is to uninstall TomTom2 along with the Gps software to see if it solves. :?:

A key point here is that even uninstalling might not solve the problem. It is a sad fact that many times when you uninstall a program, both on PCs and PPCs, it is not uncommon for registry entries to be left behind, unnecessary .dlls and other files to remain, and some files that were overwritten by newer (or older) versions to remain as well. This is why several of us have stressed hard-resetting the device . . . it is the ONLY way to be sure you are starting from a known platform.

SD problems
I've only seen these type of problems if I haven't first formatted the card in the target device first.

Well finally the problem resolved. I should say the hint that mrg2003 gave is really the solution,in other words you should not format the card from the device but rather from the card reader(fat and not fat32) and bingo no more blocks. I should say this forum is great. Cheerz :lol:

I confirm, i formatted my sd with flash format... No problems at all now !!!!

I really don't understand this perfectly right! I have an SD Card and the same problem as all of you state.
What do I have to do? I use the Qtek 2020...
Thanx in advance.

Still have a problem and can someone help me with it!
I formatted the sd card with a lot of tools through the Qtek, like storagetools and flash format.
Afterwards I tried to format through windows format tool!!
But none of them worked and still have the problem of the hourglass..... Can somebody help me? I have a Sandisk 256 MB Ultra II.
Thanx in advance

microSD data lost? Help!

I turned on my Hermes this morning and it started giving me a lot of errors on the today screen. They were errors regarding programs that were installed on the storage card and the device couldn't display everything (such as HTC Home, etc.) and locked-up. After a few soft-resets, still the same. I took out the card and put it in a card reader, but it seems that almost everything is gone from there and what's left, both files and folders, has weird names (»╣SöôdεÑ.z╕ë , ╔╞DGV)0.╡En , φE}░wx÷,.Γö6 , £#╚Ç3.3c, etc.). Also, the contents of the storage card show up as having 33.8 GB!!! How come?
What's to be done to recover my files?
I could hard-reset the device, but the data on the storage card is still gone! I don't care about the programs on it (I can reinstall those) but My Documents and other files that I had on it are important!!!

Try an application like memmaid or stk tools (or perhaps other people have better ideas/applications) to repair the content. Don't format the card yet!
Good luck

But there's nothing I can do with the device, since it locks-up, it doesn't synchronize with the PC... I actually had MemMaid installed, but the device does not respond. Also, MemMaid was installed on the storage card.

After hard-reset, device working, but still have the same problem with the storage card data (corrupted, lost?).

So install a 'repair utility' on the device and see what you recover on the SD card.
btw, I NEVER install an application on the SD card

I have MemMaid installed on device, now. What's next? There's no data recovery tool in it (is there?).
I always had lots of programs installed on the storage card and had absolutely no problems (until now). I usually do that because the device memory fills-up tooooo fast. I had my Hermes for about 1 1/2 years with no problems of any kind.

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...

Apps installed to storage card wont run from start menu

Hi all,
This always happened to me. In winmobile 6 and now 6.5. For some reasons since yesterday apps which installed to my storage card disconnected it's link or short cuts in the start menu. Now all of the apps in my storage card i can't access from start menu. when i clicked the app icon in my start menu my HD2 responded
"Cant open XXX. File is not registered or not trusted in digital signature, or can't find one of the files elements. Please resintall or restore this file."
I have to go to the file directory in my storage card to run the apps. This is very annoying and very inconivence. Anyone knows why? What's worse is that all of the new apps that i installed to my storage card has the same issue... Which means i can't no longer install apps to my storage card...
Help?

Use file explorer to find your chosen program icon /copy it
Still using file explorer go to device/windows/start menu/programs and paste shortcut using left hand bottom menu
Job done ! Rename it if you want !

DISREGARD THE LAST MADE AN ERROR !!
Use file explorer to find your chosen program icon /copy it

if you go to file explorer can you read your sd card? I had the same issue and it was the sd card that failed so it could not read/find the program it was looking for. Try for kicks copying over some apps to a different storage card and retry. It will at least eliminate that possibility.

Yes, HD2 can read the SD card, and i have to go to the SD card location to run the apps. Just can not access from the start up menu...

I had the same problem you described. It happened after some old program I launched got the phone stuck and I had to pull the battery out to do a reset.
After the boot completed, I started to receive errors when trying to launch programs from the storage card. Uninstalling wouldn't work and reinstalling always failed.
Replacing the sd card didn't help either.
I believe that something corrupted the registry.
I finally gave up and hard reset.
The only good thing that came out of it was getting a new 16GB sd card for me to use.

My happened when i installed a lockscreen cab to my HD2 to the main memory. After that everything i installed to the storage card wont run from the startup menu.
Really? some dude told me to reformat my storage card. I'd rather do a hard resert cuz i have alot of crap in my 16G storage card.
I haven't gave up yet so i will still try to look for my other options... Thanks to know at least i am not the only one who encounter this fu**ing problem...

Gave up and hard reset a couple of times, and i found out that the reason i can't click the icon in my start menu to access the apps which i installed in my storage card. It was because of i change the local and Text. I changed from Taiwan to USA and HD2 will not let me access the apps from start menu. This is very wierd, but if i change back to Region: Chinese Taiwan, then my HD2 is ok again... Just to share with you guys...

Why is it not a good idea? Its what its there for so use it!

A few apps think SD card missing, full, and/or empty.

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.

Click to collapse
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
