x7500 MicroDrive vanished - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General

Hi Folks,
My 7500 is running the AP Redux ROM.
I went to enter my pin to unlock the device and was greeted with the message that the device would be wiped if i got it wrong after the first attempt (weird!).
So i was putting in my pin when the car braked and, wrong pin, dev wiped. :-/
After restart, not only was all my stuff gone, but the MicroDrive now no longer exists. Tried re-flashing the (same) ROM, but still no joy.
It doesn't show up using the PC or using any device info or file explorers.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Do you have a "Format Microdrive" icon in start>settings>system ? If so, did you try to reformat the drive yet? As you have probably already lost your stuff from the drive, it may restore it after the format. This is an old fix that I found with the "search" function.....
BTW, I had to do it a while back after a bad flash, and it did work for me.
Later...............

No, i don't have that. I looked through all the posts too but couldn't see anything relevant. I'm presuming it is just some security setting/glitch as it disappeared when the wrong PIN was entered. I'm hoping it might re-appear when i get back home and reconnect it to the server/domain.
Really annoying as i just got the GPS working properly.
Thanks anyway!

Safe Mode

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.

but how can i backup the "old" one? as i said it is locked so i can't copy it...
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.

Cannot mount SD card anymore, why not?

I have had my Hero just over a week. When I first got it I was given the option to mount the SD card every time I connected it to my PC. For some reason I no longer get the option (I don't know exactly when it stopped, but it could be since I installed HTC Sync, but that's now disabled).
Any help would be much appreciated.
Sounds like your drivers have become corrupted or somehow disabled...
http://download.cnet.com/USBDeview/3000-2094_4-10614190.html
Download the USBDeview, plug in your Hero, open it up and click the Description tab so they are in alphabetical order. Hold shift and highlight all the HTC drivers, right click and delete them. Then disconnect your Hero, reconnect it and the drivers should hopefully reinstall correctly.
Hope this works for you!
Thanks OGC313, I appreciate the answer.
The solution was even more simple than that; apparently not all USB cables are created equal...
Can anyone tell me how I can restore widgets to my phone on Axura ROM. Everything seems to be working fine but my phone doesn't even have a basic dialer widget and I can see no way to access the basic application list.
I deleted the google widget which I think I should have kept maybe? Probably needed to re-sync something but I"m not sure
Should I reboot into recovery and restore some kind of data?

keyboard pwd lock

Hi All,
first of all , hope to put this issue in the correct forum path....
my friend has a problem with the Pro2, as you can see by the attach , concerning the keyboard password lock.
His password doesn't works and also performing all the reset type , after the reboot the mobile starts with the keyboard locked (only emergency number is possible call).
he has reported me that at the first time, the mobile has gave to him an alphanumeric code to try to unlock the code but it doesn't solved the issue.
probably re-installing the software (6.5) the problem is solved but he doesn't want loss the date / appointments due the fact he has a doctor.
please help us.
thanks
Hi again,
it's appreciated also if someone know if there's a way to perform the backup in this condition.
Thanks again

Did he ever use Activesync or Google Sync? If he did, most of his information sould be saved that way. Also, you may want to try doing a hard reset but only after exausting all attempts to back your data up. Send a couple of PM to Senior memebers or Moderators, you might get some help that way!!
Good luck!!
thanks for your post....
principal problem is that is not possible connect the mobile to pc in order to use activesync or other program due the fact the mobile is locked....and not save data has been performed before....
Double chack that his SIM card is in correctly.
Same exact thing happened to me. My phone battery was at about 10% and when I tried the password that I had set... it didn't work. This made me frantic and very ticked off. I had a ROM on my SD card so i just reflashed from there. Since then I always install a different locking app then the stock one. I just can't trust it. So I think youre only option is to hard reset and hopefully your contacts are saved to the SIM so they won't be deleted.

[URGENT] Help needed, INVALID SECURITY CODE

Hello,
My phone has 4 number security code you have to enter when the phone's being unlocked(did in settings, default winmo lock but HTC made an unlocking skin on it).
I've taken out a battery while the phone was on, then turned it back again in 3 hours. I move the unlock image, and as usual dialpad appears asking for security code. I enter as I usually do and it says INVALID CODE. I'm like - WTF? Tried again, nothing. Tried dozens of times, nothing. Reboot doesn't help. Now it even stopped saying INVALID CODE, when you press the unlock button it doesn't do anything.
I had the "lock" feature working fine for weeks.
QUESTION: What to do(without hardreset)? Phone is set to sync when USB connected, Windows Mobile Device Centre says unlock your phone first before sync. I can't do anything, can't make call(i can receive it), can't check messages or anything, i can't unlock it ffs! Help please, any ideas are welcome
you aren't alone,happened to quite a few.
did you recently install swype 3.9?(there are other reasons)
i've not seen anyone get out without hard resetting.
i have miri rom with swype pre installed
maybe there's a way to upload a file to storage card that will change some registry keys? problem will be how to run it

About the only thing I can think of is if you were able to find a way to put something in the \windows\startup folder that fixed it - but like someone here already said - odds are you're going to have to do a hard-reset.

It happened to me awhile back...i tried to find a way but didnt manage to find it, i had to hard reset..

[Q] SD card or SD card reader not working

Hi
I have a Huawei u8800 with a rooted stock ROM(thats what its called when its the ROM that came with the phone right?) 2.2.1. It seems that sometimes it doesn't find the apps from my sdcard, the apps i have as shortcuts only show as green and white things and when i try clicking on them it says i should restart my skin(GoLauncher EX). But it seems like its only the apps the phone doesnt find not the sd card itself. I can see how much space it is on the card in the settings and how much that is free, and it also remembers what skin i use on my beautiful widget's home widget. This only happens most of the times tho. Sometimes after ive rebooted it suddenly all is fine. I've tryed to put my sd card into another phone and that worked perfectly and i tryed to put another sd card into my phone and that worked fine to. So i have no idea where the problem is. The times it doesnt find the sd card i cant choose to use mass-storage when i plug it in my computer either. I't can find the sd card tho if i boot into recovery(i have CWN 5 installed) and choose mount USB storage and plug it to the computer with USB i suddenly find the sd card on the computer but when i reboot it again it doesnt work. So i have no idea it its the SD card that doesnt work, the SD card reader or if its a software problem.... I also have randow reboots. As you see im totally lost
Any help would be appreceated!
Hi theminikiller,
This is a note bug of Huawei U8800 / U8800 Pro.
Sometimes the external sdcard is not correctly mounted at the bootstrap and if you have installed application on your external sdcard, you cannot open them.
In my case I have installed Sygic GPS Navigation and maps are stored on the external sdcard. Sometimes it happens that my U8800Pro doesn't mount the sdcard and Sygic, of course, asks me to download again maps.
This bug is not fixed and the only workaround is to reboot Android.
The simple action that you reboot in recovery is always a "reboot".
So if you meet again the bug, it's not a must to enter into recovery mode but you can simply reboot.
I don't know if Froyo has a reboot entry in the power menu (holding the power button), but you can download and install an interesting apk named AN Reboot.
With this application (very light and fast) you can reboot in a short time.
Anyway, since you have this bug, please have a look here at my discussion where there is a poll: please vote!

Thank you for the reply!
It didnt help rebooting for me, does it help every time i reboot or do i have to try a few times? This is probobly a stupid question but what is apk? xD i tryed googling AN Reboot but didnt find anything so if you could give me a link that would be usefull.
I dont know if it is any connection between it but this happened to me the same day as i upgraded the google marked to google play.
Have you tryed to factory reset the phone? If not im thinking about trying that. I was thinking about sending the phone to the shop where i bought it to see if they could fix it. Or isnt this a fixable problem? Well if they cant fix it ill get a new phone so its a win win situation for me

An apk file is an application, usually downlodable from Google Market.
AN Reboot is still on Google Maket, but I can provide a link for you, here:
Hmm didnt find it on the market, well doesnt matter when i got the download from you xD so i just copy that into my phone memory to install it?
