Touch Diamond 3G Internal Memory Problem - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Hi guys im a noob when it comes to these things but ive searched everywhere and this is the only place where im sure you guys can answer my question. anyways i have a Touch Diamond 3g and my internal memory went missing after i put music on it using my Vista PC. ive read all the threads here regarding this problem but cant seem to get it to work. i was wondering if anyone has a cooked rom with the internal memory fix. Thanks in advance. Sorry i think i posted this thread in the wrong place. Can you move it? Thanks

i think wrong forum,
but did you try to hardrestet? with formating it?

............................

What happens if you plug the phone to the computer again?
Does it show up as disk / connect to activesync ?

my way...
The same thing hapened with my.
The way it worked for me:
I used an Ubuntu disk, run it from disk(without install), then goe to Gparted and on the right up corner choose the disk from you diamond, formatit and then Unmount de disk from the pda and you are ready to go.
If you can, try.

what is a Ubuntu Disk?

i know what happen.. when pc to usb, if u se 2nd option(i forget about the text), your internal storage won't be readable via file manager. u have to chose opt no 1.. which is pc sync.
very sory bout my bad english.

it connects with WMDC but when i choose the Disk Drive option nothing comes up. is there a tutorial on how to use that Ubunto Disk Xokos was talking about?

Cooked Rom With Internal Memory Fix?

does anyone know of a cooked rom with the internal memory fix. i have a touch diamond 3g. Thanks
Care to elaborate?
well the phone itself works fine but i tried to put music on it via WMDC and it deleted or corrupted the internal memory which the phone cannot find it says internal storage not installed. any roms with a fix for this problem?
Have you tried connecting the phone to a windows PC to see if you can see the internal storage that way?
You don't give us much to go on, to try and help you. The more info about your phone and what you did / have done would be good.
Ok this is everything.i have a HTC Touch Diamond 3G. I added music via WMDC and it did. i then went onto my phone and saw that none of the files were there. i then went to Settings-Memory and saw that it said that no storage card was installed. i tried about 40 times to try and get it to connect via Disk Drive and it never showed up. so then i did a soft reset and hard reset and still nothing. i then went online and saw that this guy had cooked the Internal memory hotfix priovided by HTC into a rom but when i tried to download the hotfix it it said that it is not compatible with my device. i then came here and noticed that you can cook hotfixes to the roms and im looking for one. thats about it. Any ideas on how i can get the memory back?
It could just be me, but I dont fully understand Sorry!
Did you know that when you connect your phone to your PC, that you have the option to have "faster file transfer" ? When you select this option, it disables the phone from accessing the internal storage. Try disconnecting your phone from your pc then try again!
i know it wont display it on the device but it should display it on the PC and it doesn't.

[Q] computer not recognizing evo as a disk drive

Hey everyone first time poster here. I have been researching the question I have in the forums and have not found an answer to my question yet so I figured I would just ask it. I just recently bought my htc evo and tried transferring a SNES rom over to my evo from my PC. At first my computer would not recognize that I was trying to have my evo seen as a disk drive (yes I did have it set to disk drive and not to charge only or another option). eventually it worked (I dont even know what I did, if I did anything at all). After I put this ROM onto my phone my sd card is mounted as read only (cant get it back to write), and no matter what I do I cant get my computer to read my phone as a disk drive. I tried changing the disk drive to another letter which didnt work, under device manager my computer recognizes I have an android phone plugged into my computer, but it still will not show anything in the "my computer" folder, it sees I have a device in, but I click on it and it says "please insert a disk into removable disk F". If anyone can help with this I would greatly appreciate it and thank you for taking the time to read all of this.
Well the first thing to make sure of is that after plugging in the device you go to the notification bar and press on the USB Mass Storage notification, then select "Turn on USB storage". If you've done that simple step and it still doesn't see the SD card, then very simply try a different USB port on your computer.
Even if your card is in read only mode, you should still be able to read it
I don't know why it would be in read only unless you forgot to mount it with read/write after an advanced command.
interesting, I have never seen the option of "turn on mass USB storage" when I've gone to the notification bar? In my notification bar I have a picture of the sd card with a question mark over it. When I drop down the notification bar the notification pertaining to the sd card says "mounted readonly" and the explaination says "The SD card has an unexpected problem. Tapping...." I have no idea what it says after that as it wont allow me to view the rest of the explanation.
As for the problem that this is causing is that it seems I cannot save anything to the sd card. The camera stops working to where I cant take pictures, or download music, and I'm assuming that its because these functions need somewhere to save the files and since the card is on read only nothing will be allowed to save on it?

theres probably an error on the sd card, may need to reformat if its from a different phone too. Try to reformat, probably the only thing possible right now. But before you do that, go to your settings and enable usb debugging and see if that works first to allow your sd card to mount to the pc. Then it should be read as a drive. if not, your gonna have to reformat. so try this, if not, I can try to trouble shoot you more......
thanks for your reply. And yes I shouldve said before that I tried the USB debugging feature as well and that didn't do the job either. I saw reformatting as a suggestion in another thread but didnt see information on how to do it and that is out of my realm of knowledge. If you could explain to me how to do it I would greatly appreciate it.

yea, no problem man, just go to settings>sdcard/sd>unmount the volume>reformat!
let me know if that works for you if not, something else is wrong.
well I go into settings> SD phone & storage> Unmount SD card, is something supposed to happen or am I supposed to do something else? After I tap that nothing happens and the "format SD card" option isnt highlighted meaning its not even an option to choose.
Hmmm. Unmount then remount then umonint again turn the phone off and on see if the uloption highligjts

oh wow that worked man!! Thank you so much for your help, you just saved me a bunch of frustration, now it shows up as a disk drive on my computer and the sd card is read/write compatible. Can't thank you enough man, do you happen to know of a reason as to why this would happen? I mustve set it to be like that somehow I just can't imagine how I did that. Also is there an app or way to back up all your files and apps on your phone and sd card and transfer them to your computer just in case something like this happens again at least I'll have backups so I wont loose everything.
Glad i could hel you. Ita no problem that you cant thank me enough, just as long as we solvee tue prob. You Could have dropped your phone and it knocked the SD card around or it just didn't read it correctly on boot. As far as I know, I don't know of any apps to backup SD card contents and phone data. I would just make a nandroid backup and store on PC. So if you make any vital errors, u can restore using your recovery agent.

Help rooting mytouch

please help thank you
(links are with out spaces sorry im a new user and the time on the side of the link is where in the part in the video is located and i feel ive done everything correct)
This is tearing me apart!!!!
ESPRIMG not found error is usually fixed by reformatting your SD card, taking care to use the FAT32 format (not just FAT). Format your card and put everything you need back on it and try again...

Im a noob how do i do that.
I can't remember if it works to format the card with it in your phone or if you need to take the card out and plug it into your computer through a card reader .. think it works through the phone.
So plug your phone into you computer and make sure that the sd card contents are available through the computer (you might have to turn on the disk drive setting on your phone).
In Windows you would then right click on the drive for your phone's SD card and select format. Then make sure the format is set to FAT32.

Ok I've rooted every thing but I got a few problems
I get no cell phone service
And I want the slide rom not the nexus one and all I rooted for was to get the froyo ota for the slide that went unrealsed so if you can help I greatly love it thank you
heres the guide i used....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:HTC_Espresso.png
this is what i want....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928250
If all you want is the official Froyo update then you can now go download it directly from HTC. See the Offical Froyo is out on HTC site! thread.
Note that following that path will remove root from your phone.
If you would rather keep root you have a few other options. There are a few sense rom variants including the one you linked to.
If you already have root and have installed rom manager then you shouldn't have any trouble using that to install a new rom, create backups, etc.
Not sure what your comment about nexus 1 meant? You certainly cannot install a nexus rom on the slide. Did you mean the Cyanogenmod ROMs?

[Q] Driver Problem

I red and googled for my problem but nothing could help therefore i made my own thread here,
every time i connect my wildfire to pc all i get is "driver not recognized". It shows only unknown device and when i tried to update the driver and installed desired one, it said its not compatible or if try to install it says windows encountered an error and could not install.....
i didnt have this issue before but for 3 days i cant connect to pc neither in sync mode nor data drive..
any help would be appreciated
i have the same issus as u im uable to connect to pc with usb cable ive read forum and forums tryed so meany thing to get it fixed but unable to fix it
i also used rom manager to get my sd partitioned.... after that i got this problem
man, there is no one who could help us

It is important to remember when asking for help to be patient. Please refrain from asking the question more than once or posting about your frustration that no one has answered your question yet. XDA is not tech support and while members can be very helpful you should not expect answers from anyone. When you have to search for the answer or figure out a solution…you are able to learn…understand…and then help others…and that is what XDA is about. Good luck with your issue and I hope you are able to find your answer one way or another.
krook6023 (mod team)
like krook said, be patient.
coming to ur problem, i feel its very simple.
disk drive is an option which needs no extra software to be installed on ur pc. due to this i strongly believe that the problem is with ur pc and not with ur phone. possibilities are ur usb ports might have errors, or ur pc has been infected with viruses.
u said that the problem reported after u have partitioned ur mem card with rom manager. well, there is a possibility for this. ext3 partitions are not recognised by windows operating system. so if u have made the entire memory card as ext3 partition, then this is the issue with u. reformat the memory card. i hope u know about this and havent made a complete ext3 partition.
APPROACHING THE PROBLEM:
-just connect the phone to another pc as disk drive mode. if the problem persists, then it may be the problem of usb cable, or partitioning ext3. and if disk drive is connected with another pc, then the problem may be usb ports of ur pc not working, ur pc affected with virusses.
install a fresh HTC USB DRIVER by downloading it from the official website.
try other options like USB TETHERING, USB DEBUGGING (charge only).
try usb debugging with an application called PDANET. and using pdanet, if u can use ur phone internet to pc, the problem is with htc driver.
i hope i have given the information more than enough for ur problem. let me know what is the issue.
was the issue solved. what was the problem

Hmm..
BTW, have try you shut down the phone after format the SD ?
And do check again..
If the bad disk occur, in Win7 it will automatically recommend to do scan disk to fix it. If is not your SD is fine actually..

ive tried to check in another computer and the pc search for drivers and install it, and it works just like the normal, it detects both internal/external, but my pc still cant detect it, ive uninstalled the MiniTool Partition Wizard and samsung drivers on my pc, and then i plugged in my phone, my pc installed the drivers, but it still cannot detect the internal sd, maybe the MiniTool Partition Wizard have some remnants after ive uninstalled it, but im happy to know that there is nothing wrong with my sd (1.7gb), but i cant reformat my pc, because its owned by the company where i worked, i just hope that it can be fixed

I don't think recovery from CWM can help this as it just restores "files" from nandroid where partition is another independent thingy. U did partition the sd card. So re-partitioning should be the solution to it.

Oh~ meaning that ur PC can detect external sd via USB cable? Maybe u can try Dual Mount SD. I am using it to connect both internal and external sd to PC in one shot. PC and ur device are enable to read sd cards simultaneously.

yes, my pc can detect my external sd, i tick usb debugging and when i connect my CP to the PC there is a notification in my CP and ill just have to click it to connect, normally it would detect both my internal and external sd, but after using the minitool partition wizard to make partition to my 1.7gb sd, my pc can no longer detect my 1.7gb sd (external because its swapped), and ive tried something, ive update my kies, and connect my phone with usb debugging untick, it detects my phone (GT-i8150 in my computer) with internal and external sd card. but still when im connecting with usb debugging on, only 1 sd card is detected, i guess my pc detects it as bad disk because of the mini tool partition wizard, but i dont know how to revert it, ive already uninstall the mini tool... but it doesnt help

im facing same problem
I read abt it that bootIt cn be work in this situation, bt dont knw how to use it..
i usually used minitool pw to manage sd card, nothing's wrong. It seems you need use minitool power data recovery to recover the data on your bad disk.

i got the bad disk error too messing with M.T.Partition Wizard and link2sd, but neither M.T.P.W. or the prompt commands to format the sd from pc worked so far..
The pc sees the sd for 1-2 seconds and ask to format it, then it s not accessible any more, and the formatting attempts (both from the pop-up message and prompt) results in a "cyclic redundancy check error" and fail..
i dont mind losing the data, i just want to keep using that sd
explained here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72729502&postcount=38933
so, did u fix it anyway/found a guide to use bootit ?
thanks a lot
