Faulty Internal Storage

After trying many things to correct it I have concluded that:
1. My internal storage is corrupting every thing on it.
2. I can no longer install anything from the internal storage
3. I cant flash from the internal storage.
I have tried hard reset with clearing the internal nand, formatting the internal storage in windows, reflashing to 6 different roms including HTC original.
Any help anyone? getting desparate now.

I had the same problem until I formated it Fat32 in Windows.
I suppose you tried it already.

Yep, tried formatting to fat32, just tried mtty and task 29 and that did not work. now gonna try task 29, flash an old 1.9x rom, hard reset nand and then reflash to see if that works

[Q] How to wipe everything clean?

Including internal SD card and such, I'm worried that formatting it on the computer will obliterate the phone!

type this on the dial pad
*2767*3855#

Manual method is to place the phone in Restore Mode (Vol up + Home then Power on)
Factory Reset then Clear Cache
Factory reset can also be done in Settings.
Then through settings unmount and format the internal memory and external memory if you wish.

If you're selling it, also copy large random files onto the cards after formatting (so the data can't be recovered)

Thanks for the help guys, not selling, just wanted to start fresh

Usb memory

I have a question. Maybe a noob one. But I'll appreciate the help. If I do a factory reset and wipe system, cache and data will I loose the files that are in the phone usb storage? Thanks

Ive found the only way to loose the stuff in internal sd card storage, where you can put your files is when you format usb storage, in sd card menu... Also i think odin repartition does it, but not sure about the second one.
If your worried about loosing it why not just comy it to your computer, do what you need to then copy it back

[Q] Half of internal memory missing

So I bricked my phone and ended up having to FXZ to the OTA JB update. Once I did I found that the internal memory just isnt there. There is still 4GB for the apps but no storage and backup will not work because it can not find internal storage. It also will not show up on my computer like normal. How do I get it to show back up?

thecodydavis was able to format his internal storage, after so many reboots, the phone ask him to reformat the storage space. And I believe reformat it will lose all the data in the storage, but you will have internal storage back.

I have the same problem except I need to recover the data. I am still trying to make an image of /dev/block/mmcblk1p26 (storage memory block) and hopefully data recovery tool works on the image.

Thanks! Pretty much what happened! Problem solved!

Does factory reset delete all photos?

Factory Reset from settings.
That says when doing it but I'm not sure if it is, could someone who has done it answer me?

It erases everything. Not only your photos.

The devil is in the details - factory reset, like as in fresh out of the factory...
If you have an sd card transfer everything you want on to that and it won't erase the sd card, unless you then format the sd card...

Only if they are stored in internal storage if they are all on sd card Factory reset doesn't affect them. Transfer all photos to SD and download smartswitch app and make a backup store it on sd as well then do your reset and voila!
