Hi everybody,
maybe you can help me out.
somehow the name of the internal storage (card?!) changed ... i think it
happend as i unplugged my diamond and replugged it very fast. now the
internal storage is called internal storage2 and the programms installed on the
storage can't be accessed because the device looks for the folder called
internal storage and not internal storage2 ... anybody has got an idea how to
fix this !?
Hard Reset
if that's the only possible then i'll do it ...
thx!
Hi all,
My problem with Diamond is that I can not access to 4GB storage memory. When it is disconnected from usb the 4GB can not be found anywhere. I tried formating also but storage not found. When I connect Diamond to pc via USB, then there is also not found as disc in windows. I tried to restart diamond but it didn't help.
Please help.
Thank you.
Tom
you need to hard reset it
OK thank you, I will try it. But I thougt that hard reset doesn't touch storage card. Doesn't it only reset ram and rom 256MB?
Yes but your problem is with the system, not with the 4GB themselves (which are NOT a storage card btw).
When it is disconnected from usb the 4GB can not be found anywhere
Anywhere? That's pretty diffuse and can mean... anything. If its not in explorer under internal memory (shows up as a folder, not a drive), then yes you got a problem. Likewise if you connect via USB file system (not activesync) and it doesnt show up as a drive, again you got a problem.

You can choose from reset only ram or reset ram and format 4GB internal storage.
i think you must format internal storage too.....

yes the folder "internal storage 2" is not in the listing of folders (of course diamond is not connected to pc)
and when I connect it to pc and choose "disc" (not active sync) then it is not found ....the letter is created in pc but it is not accessble.

When I try to restart diamond and run format 4GB internal storage then the program said that somethink like "no internal storage found".
looks like you have a serious problem.
you might need to take it for repair.
contact your supplier.
Hi all!
I did hard reset (I chose hard reset with deleting NAND - volume down in hard reset menu) and now the storage works fine. I am very happy that I don't need to send Diamond to service.
Have a nice day and thanks for all advices.
Tom

Please explain what you mean by "deleting NAND". Thanks.
Same problem, sigh....
One thing I notice is if I browse the windows device itself on Windows XP Explorer I can see the folder for the storage card. I can open it but its empty.
Jreach, I'm having the same problem as you. I had access to my internal storage and lost it within 20 minutes of receiving the device. I can't reformat using Clean Storage (mass storage cannot be accessed) nor can I see the internal storage using memory, storage card (no card installed message). All of this happened PRIOR to connecting my phone to the pc.
When I use active sync (and Windows Media Player to sync music), I cannot see the internal storage. Windows Media Player doesn't see it either. When I use file explorer or whatever the other option is, I see a removeable drive on my PC. I cannot reformat it. If I double click on it on my xp machine I get an error message saying the "F:\ is not accessible, the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."
Given that, I suspect we will not be able to fix this and must return our Diamonds to Sprint. Please let me know if you find a solution. Thanks.

It was just written in menu when selecting hard reset. reset with deleting NAND and reset without deleting NAND.... I think the NAND is the 4GB memory.
I know how to fix it!!!
Hi,
i have same problem with this. I formated storage card with windows XP and this is the problem!!! After i didnt see storage card in diamond explorer. I try everything Soft Reset, HR, edit register and nothing. And this help me with problem: Format Sotrage card with this program "HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool". Google it and you will see.
BUT the capacity of storage card is now only 3,6 GB. I dont know how to fix it,but is better then nothing.
Sorry for my bad english.
Is it a Sprint Diamond? If so, I just got out of the same boat.

I have Touch Diamond. Not Sprint Diamond. But thanks for reply.
Internal Storage vs SD Card Slot
I seem to come across an increasing number of issues with internal storage. Can it really get corrupted or have a limited life span just like the MicroSD cards? I am using a diamond and am contemplating upgrading to the Touch HD but the latter does not use internal storage. I was wondering which is more superior in terms of durability. Of course, I can also wait for the Asus P835 which has both. Any advice and views will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Well done! Your HP USB Format tool worked! Thanx mate!
Hi,
I accidentally formated the internal storage of my brother´s diamond while hard-reseting it (I help him flashing ROMs and didn´t know the option to format the internal as well..)
Is there a way to restore the lost data on the memory ? Does PC Inspector reconize the Diamond´s internal storage ?
thx in advance for a reply
Martin
Try these http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk and http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec.
The reason I recommend this, is because I have successfully recovered images from a formatted camera SD Card, and the Diamond 4GB Storage acts like a USB Flashdrive.
thanks, but it didn´t work. Though I acted as described in the Wiki I got nothing...
phone not showing 4gb memory its shows memory not installed
plz help

If you did a hard reset, then there is a hotfix for this issue of the disappearing internal storage.
Hello everyone and thanks for being here to help people like me.
First of all,sorry for my bad written english,(i`m from Romania) and sorry if opening this thread was a bad ideea. I apologize in advance.
Ok. My problem is with my Samsung Galaxy mini II. Today i wanted to put a game on it and i`ve copied data files on my sd card. It didn't work. Then i tried to download game data via Wi-fi from the game menu. A message comes up that tells me i don`t have enough space on my phone`s internal memory. I don`t know why it didn't downloaded directly to may 8gb sd card. Ok. I`ve searched the internet and find SwapSD. I heard that you can make your sd card being recognize as internal memory. I installed it,run it,exactly how i was given instructions. And then i wanted to erase all my data from both internal and external memory so i can install everything on the bigger memory space.After i formated via recovery my sd card dosen't show up in storage,under settings section. Now i`m trying to install the stock rom but when i press install from sd card it says E: Can't open /sdcard/update/zip (bad)....
Can anyone please help me with this situation ? I just want to have my normal 2.3.4 rom and a working sd card.
Thanks in advance.
Problem Solved !!! Please delete the thread. Thanks.
