OK. So I need a good amount of help. I completed screwed up my phone. I was having issues with my G-mail account so I went to delete it. For some reason I was unable to. Told me I had to go into settings and reset the phone to default settings. I connected it to my computer and download a new Rom. I get a pop up on my screen and it asks me to if I want to format. I figured I don't need anything so why know. I had the 8GB SD Card and a different piece of storage for the important stuff.
Oh man. Apparently EVERYTHING is stored on the 8GB. Or there isn't separate storage. What ever it is I really really screwed the pooch here.
So I am assuming I have to install the firmware first. But that part I don't know how to do. I was able to install different ROM's without any problem. And format like a champ.
Can anyone please help me after you all get over the face / palm feeling. Thank you so much.
This can be deleted. I have fixed this phone.

Hi, I have a tmobile wing and I set up a security pin code but can't remember it! I keep all my school work on here in word docs, and presentations MY LIFE is in this phone so I can't do a hard reset, its just, out of the question. Anyway I can bypass this code? Via software maybe? I will do anything to make this work!...funny thing is if I go to menu and cancel it actually lets me get a peek at what's behind this enter password screen! Its like throwin it in my face that I can't get past aargghh!! Any help, greatly appreciated.
Have you tried to access it from a PC? If you have connected it before, filled the password and checked to remember it, you could download the files and HR the machine without fear.
Aren't you using a Storage Card? I can't see you having all those school and general files stored on the device itself. If you have them stored on the card, then a hard reset won't effect them in any way.

I'm an idiot yes, I know, I just recently got a 1gb card but just filled it up with music. I'll try what CommZ suggested, thanks for the help.
Damm...didn't work...any other suggestions? How about uploading something to edit the bootloader into an sd card? Is there anything there that may lead to a solution? I mean, if they can unlock the iphone...let's be for real here.

Here's a simple thought, have you tried contacting T-Mobile. Yes i know that virtually they are useless, but if you assert yourself and have a 'Don't-take-no-for-an answer' attitude, you may eventually end up talking to a 'helpful' tech support person, who, if doesn't know the answer - might be able to point you in the right direction?
Just a thought.
i think there's no way to erase that password without erasing all device
maybe injecting some proggy as a nbh file, perhaps, u could reach password
How do you erase the whole device? I have the same problem. Some prick put a password on my phone without me knowing, I guess he thought it would be funny and I can't use it anymore. I dont really have anything valuable on the phone so I dont care about resetting the whole thing. I can't access it from a pc for some reason I get an error message but im sure there's a way to do a hard reset without accessing the phone itself, right?
thanks for any kind of help
Hi All
I had stored all my data and some apps on my 4gb Sandisk SD card and all of a sudden all the data from the card is gone. I notice error messages of applications like google map etc that i had installed on the Sd card when they were trying to run they could no longer see the files. IS there a fix for this problem? I see i n other places they decribe a lengthy procedure including buying some softwares for restoring data, however if i do that i think the data can vanish anytime again. I also see others complaining about this,, please let me know if there is any other easy way to restore data, and how can i permanently fix the problem? does att help??
Put the card in your computer, see if you can run a disk check on it.
I've had my SD card 'look blank' or not even show up on the Tilt three times since I've owned it and all three times I did a filesystem check and it found errors. Once corrected, the card was fine again.
Yeah, you need to find out a little more information as to what is going on.
First off figure out if it is the phone or the card that is the problem.
Remove the card and find some other way of reading it. It could be something as simple as a bad connection on the terminal pins. Maybe clean them or see if they are bent out of place.
Maybe the card has bad sectors. Doing what khaystsus said will help you find that out.
At any rate, there are alot of things that could cause the same problems so a little more investigation and information is needed for anyone to help you any further.

Thanks I will try with the computer, ,but this is not a isolated problem if you do a search in google, you will see very many people complaining of the same thing.

Of course this is not an isolated problem -- this can happen on any WM phone. given the right conditions
It happened several times on my old ETEN.
One culprit is if you run the tweak to store your IE cache files on the card instead of internal memory -- this has been known to corrupt the card.
Other things can happen also -- which is why I backup my card at least once a week.

Have you run a checkdisk on the card yet? What were the results?
No not yet, did nt get much of a chance yesterday going to do it today if i am able to find my card reader !
I had to much stuff loaded on my phone, so I was running out of memory. I then reset the phone by using the Clear Storage, it worked great. But then I went in and told it to format the Internal Storage, as I forgot to do that part.
Now I have lost my Internal Storage. It is using the Main Program memory for this now, is there ANY way that I can get this back?
Thanks,
Bryan
Recover your internal storage
Same thing happened to me recently.
What you have to do:*Warning* You may lose the info stored in your internal storage.
Connect your phone to your pc with usb cord. Choose the disk drive option on your phone. Your pc should show that you have a usb connection at one of your various drives (e, f, g, etc.). On your pc, open "My Computer" and right click on the usb drive that popped up when your phone was connected. Select Format. *Warning* This may cause your pc to freeze, but don't be alarmed! You may have to try this several times. When this goes through, choose quick format and fat 32. After you get a message saying the drive is formatted, disconnect your phone and soft reset. When your phone comes back on, you should have your internal storage back. Once again you may have to try this several times. Sorry if this is not totally clear, but I am exhausted and will check back to see if you got it.
This also happened to me but I didn't really care about the stuff I lost so I was able to get a "brand new" phone from sprint
solution
the way I got mine to work was by doing a hard reset and by flashing the newest rom from htc. Sprint diamonds happen to have alot of these problems so they have a rom that has a fix for it. Hope this helps!!!
Internal storage

Thanks mass for posting this. I've seen countless posts reporting this problem, but never a solution. Couldn't find answer to this though: To do a ROM upgrade, do you have to go through all the SPL, .ruu, bootloader, super technical stuff that seems to be way over my head? Or, using Opera, can you just click the download link on htc site (couldn't find answer on htc site) ? Thanks much for your post.
ok heres the deal,
I work for a cellphone place, I was helping a customer and basicly there galaxy s wouldn't connect to kies, SD issue....Anyways she wanted to back up everything, a little hard with kies out of commision. So I backed up her contacts to sim, then mounted her drive and Dragged the entire android sd contents onto her laptop.
I fixed the phone and got it upgraded, but apperently she had some really important stuff in her memo's that she needed and I have no idea how to get it back or even if I can get it back.
Basically I need to find a way to get the memo information back from the sd backup I dragged to her computer
Any Ideas?
well for memo the file endings are usually .vnt so search for those files thats the best help i can offer you
Greetings,
First, let me introduce myself:
I'm an owner of Lenovo A7000+, have root access to my phone for over a year, yet, unlike most of you, I'm merely a mortal. . Anyhow, I hope you guys can help me out..
So, onto my problem:
There was no warning, whatsoever. I didn't do anything with my phone at the time, but SOMEHOW, I can no longer modify files (be it add, erase, or edit. So guess what, I can't use my camera.) in both my Internal AND External storages. I found out when I tried to download an attachment my fella sent me. I tried to make sure, of course, by trying to download a simple google picture. As you guys can guess -surprise, surprise!!- it didn't work. As it turns out, I can only erase and move my files using Root Explorer.
I tried to modify the permission, tried to connect my phone to PC (Which turns out, no disk detected by the Windows Explorer) as someone said to check the FAT, tried to input some sort of command via Terminal... Nothing worked.
So there's that, I hope someone will stumble upon this post and hopefully can help me (read: N00B), and I'm REALLY, REALLY begging anyone that got solutions to help me, so I can use my phone again and ride my bike towards the sunset.
Good day.
I faced the same problem but i finally found a solution by myself
