Hi Everyone,
I have made a thread a few weeks ago regarding to some rooting problem, however not many people replied with useful answer, so I brought it to a phone repairer and then he fixed it and rooted it for me.
Now I have a new problem, I cannot use the phone storage after rooting it, seems like the phone does not recognise the phone storage, I have already sent this problem to the phone repairer, but I know there are many expert in this forum, so I would like to know what I can do to fix it.
E.G. when I take a photo, the phone would say 'unable to save file to phone storage due to insufficient file permission', I searched on google, seems like not a lot of people have this problem, everyone have the problem with 'unable to save file to SD cad' but not phone storage.
let me know that you guys think
Cheers
When didn't your phone recognised the phone storage, after rooting or after flashing a custom rom ?
Send with my lovely Sensation XL, from a little town in france with a very very slow internet connection.

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.
I recently purchased a wizard/mda (tmobile) and have run into major problems trying to unlock and upgrade the device.
This forum is a wealth of information, but I have hit some major problems.
The main problem is being unable to unlock it.I researched various posts around here, and have not been able to get activesync working.I looked at various troubleshooting info from microsoft and around here as well and have not been able to sync the phone with my computer.
I thought that perhaps it may have something to do with the version of xp I have installed, after spending many hours (25+) trying to get it to work.I then tried on another couple of comps and still no luck.
I am beginning to suspect that the phone itself has a technical problem.I seen the workaround for transferring cab files between the comp and the phone, and am hoping that once I have a mini sd card there is some way to upgrade wm5 on the phone.Can I unlock the phone without syncing it, using a different technique?(perhaps bluetooth or ir?)
Looks like I will have to unlock the phone using an unlock code, without syncing to the computer, but I am looking for any and all suggestions that may help out. I even tried attaching files and emailing them to myself, but wm5 doesn't support attachments.
Throw a dog a bone, before he buries this phone!

Im not an expert into this - all I can give you is couple of general ideas - maybe something you already knew but I'll give it a try
IMHO flashing via BT or IR can't be done or could be very risky.
Did you try hard reset? No change? Did you try hard reset and then skip installing those cabs that are installed automatically after HR?
You could try to download software WM5Storage into your htc, install it, activate and then you can access your phone as USB mass storage device from your PC. I've used it with my SD card only but it looks as it could use internal memory of your phone too. With this you can check if the data can be transfered via the mini USB.
Does your PC see the phone? Saying something like "installing new device drivers" or something like that. Check device manager.
Can you charge the battery in your phone from usb?
Btw I can't remember exact process of unlocking/flashing - is it really necessary to have synced the device before unlocking/flashing?
Following up.....
Thanks for the ideas, MuF123.
Some time has gone by.....
I tried the hard reset, and that didn't make a difference.
I was able to sync via bluetooth using a friends laptop, but was unable to sync via usb on the same computer or on my own.
I installed WM5storage and my computer doesn't see it as a mass storage device, even though it charges the phone via usb.
I am looking at this:internal error 2356 activesync.cab that comes up when I try repairing activesync, but it was a dead end the first time around.(maybe the answer is deeper there somewhere?)
I really like the phone alot, i think i will try picking up some external memory, and see if i can't use one of those unlocking services to get it up and working with a local cellular provider.
Thanks,
Nacho
Background:
Hi my HTC hd7 which until now has had no issues and is running on stock just recently went through a phase where it continually rebooted when i charged it. Then when I finally got it to turn on normally, there was a constant clicking sound coming from my speakers. I was also unable to place calls and texts would only send half the time. Since then the phone has refused to charge and when i plug it into a power source the charging light no longer turns on, meaning i can no longer use my phone. I first started talking to my girlfriend when i got the phone and for our 2 year anniversary i was going to create a book out of screenshots of our entire text thread, but apparently ive hit a very formidable roadblock.
Problem:
is there any way to restore my texts from the internal memory? from what ive read, it seems that the internal memory is stored on a microsim inside the phone. is there anyway to retrieve the conversation? Would it be possible to just buy a new HD7 and swap the old microsim onto the new one?
Any help at all would be GREATLY appreciated. Theres so many memories and so much history in our texts i just cant bear to lose it. Thanks!

If your HD7 has a custom ROM you can use WP Backup to backup all the personal data and appdata from the phone to a computer and restore it when you flash a new rom, do a hard reset or migrate to a new phone (after you installed a custom rom)...
your only option now is to unlock it(you can find how here on XDA), and then use WP Backup.
Best luck.
I too have a HD7. It's running windows phone 7.10.8779.8 updated just before posting this message.
Anyway, as far as I know, it's not running a custom ROM, so am I able to use WP Backup?
I can't find anything in the market place, unless of course i'm being really stupid and not using the correct search term.
I've searched SMS Backup but get a list of apps that don't appear to be for backing up SMS texts.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks
Install Dynamics v2.0 and you can use WP Backup and SMS Backup, no problem.
And forget any stupid official ROM, they are only useful to create Custom ROMs... LOL!
Ok, what custom Rom do you recommend? I'm a relative newbie, so wouldn't mind a bit of advice
I have the same need. I have the standard/official 7.8 ROM and want to extract all my SMSs to a file (text or Word - including images would be nice, but not essential) by thread/contact before I upgrade to a WP8 handset. Many of these are official business communications, which I want to keep on file.
My understanding is that if the ROM is replaced, then all your data and settings are deleted, so the advice above from faustolg is not very helpful.
Is there a step by step approach please that can be followed to do what we want?

I think he means that if we install Dynamics v2, that will allow us to use SMS Backup. I believe his comment about custom ROMs is just his opinion on ROMs.
I could be wrong. Perhaps he'd be kind enough to clarify the matter.
Aaah yes, Dynamics 2 is a ROM, so not the answer I was hoping for.
Anyone recommend a way to back up my SMS data? I DON'T have a custom ROM installed.
Can anyone help? How do I back up my phone texts?
I don't have a custom ROM installed, just the standard HTC factory rubbish....and i'm starting to hate HTC...how can they agree to make the hardware for a crap OS?
Good morning to all. Have just joined your forum - I get no help at all from the Huawei help desk for an
answer to my question , which is :-
For someone who is a technological idiot , can anyone explain if updates can have a detremental effect on
my Huawei P7 mobile phone. I've read some of the comments on this site but they mean as much to me as
an explanation of the Millenium Falcon hyperdrive unit.
I followed the advise of my phone some months ago and did an update ( to version B830 according to the
phone). Since then I've lost all the photos and the phone says the SD card is damaged although it's never
been removed or tampered with. Also various apps keep disappearing etc.
Now the phone tells me to upgrade to version B852. I asked Huawei if this would create more problems
but no reply.
Anyone able to assist ? , many thanks in anticipation.
Everytime when you'r installing new software, backup your stuff, ota or full firmware. I'v heard that B830 is pretty buggy, especially videos. Update to B852, but backup your stuff like photo and, contacts etc if you have them. About sd card, on kitkat, my sd card ejected like 50 times by itself, i replace it with new sd and no problem since then.
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
