hello folks need some help here,
my cell is killing me!

update service frightening,it goes well to the part when it checks the software
and then nothing,absolutely nothing!
for emmma u need to register and well they didnt respond to me yet
can any1 give me an URL whre to download this update plz 1

The folks behing EMMA won't respond to consumers. I tried contacting them as well with no luck.
As for updating, SEUS can be quite a hassle and it takes ages. Actually it never worked for me so I decided to take matters into my own hands.
If you have an unused MicroSD card around, you can install a new ROM with it. It takes a little bit of reading on the forum but it's worth it.
I'll give you a headsup that should get you into the right direction:
- Find the newest ROM on this page, with your language preference
- Read this topic for flashing your X1 with the MicroSD method
yeah i have a Micro SD around and im trying to update my X1 with the image file
damn you Sony!
I have a month old Milestone (GSM) which replaced my HTC Diamond. I did an OTA update to 2.1 update1 (SCHOLS_U2_02.36.0 build). Phone came preinstalled with an 8GB MicroSD card.
I have a major problem now: the SD card almost never works. Neither does any app which needs the sd card. "Sd card & Storage" settings does not open and hangs till it is force closed. It is detected on booting up the phone (Initializing SD card), but after that invariably turns to "sd card unexpectedly removed" if I try to access it (through File Manager/Settings/ASTRO/anything else).
System occasionally asks me to format the sd card saying "corrupted sd card", i have done it only once. Every other time I turn the phone off, remove battery & sd card, reinsert both and start the phone back up. The boot up recongnizes the SD card again, but the whole cycle repeats if i try to access the sd card or use an app that requires sd card functionality.
Also, connecting the phone to my laptop and trying to read the card also results in "SD card removed unexpectedly" and the laptop hangs if I try to enter the drive.
I have not tested a different MicroSD card (not possible to for some time). I have seen many instances of this problem elsewhere on the internet, and none seem to have any resolution. XDA is my last hope.
Please help.
PS: Maybe it's related, but the Camera doesn't work either. When accessed, the camera (and the camcorder) just show up as black screens and nothing else (no menu, no settings). It has to be force closed each time.
I have a very similar experience. The funny part is the card is mounted, but not visible.
Let me explain :
1. If i try any generic app which tries to access the SD card, it says it's not there.
2. Settings>SD card & phone storage says Unavailable to everything, like if the card is not mounted.
3. Fun starts now - Ghost Commander has no problem reading and opening directories and files on the SD card.
4. if i connect the phone to computer via "Charge only" option, i have no problems to view the SD card contects via "adb shell", "ls /sdcard" commands.
I suspect that this is another of the superb Motorola firmware updates, where at least 1 thing must break, or it wouldn't be Motorola Milestone firmware.
Same here. I only have a milestone since a few days, did you guys have that problem before the latest software patch already?
At least i know now that it is not my sdcard that makes problems.. seem to be a common bug
Just wanted to add that I'm having the same problem on my Milestone running the 2_02.36 build for Singapore.
I've noticed that Astro can still see the SD card and all the 3rd party apps that write to the SD card work fine as well. It's only the built-in Android apps (Camera, Settings etc.) that don't work.
It is a well known problem
I've been researching the last 2 days and found tons of complaints about the SDCard problems, there are a few lac fixes out there, but this is where the real problem starts.
Since my SCCard unpredictable unmounts or corrputs itself constantly, it is not even possible to install open recovery because after the reboot, the sdcard causes some problems that interrupt the process of a clean install (started with the exploit downgrade). And most fixes that "might" work, require Open recovery due they are scripted for that purpose and also enable a "roll-back" this way.
However, there is a solution to it, but since Motorola Europe has announced that from Ocober 18.th they begin with the froyo rollout, I'll wait.
Anybody that still wants to give it a shot, here's how I'd go for it:
- Root the milestone with the 1-click-rooting tool
- Install a console and su as root
- push the files via adb to the sdcard and execute the according how they are set up in the .sh
Ok, here's my fix: Downgrade to 2.0, not with the vulnerability sbf, but simply download bootloader and rom from here: http://and-developers.com/sbf
Fire up RSD Lite, start phone and press d-pad, once you're there, connect phone, downgrade bootloader and os.
There are differend sbf: System and non-system. The ones that are not system files, will completely restore your phone to original. I've chosen that option, now it works flawless, no missing features or apps, except the Xing app, which i couldn't care less.
In my case the card comes back after few reboots and then keeps working until next reboot, so if it comes back i try not to run off the battery .
This was not the case with the previous software version. This thing started after the software update.
Its effing annoying because half the functionality of the phone goes for toss if the sd card is not reading!
I have tested all "official" releases for the milestone. The only one that does a good job is 2.0. No battery drain, no sdcard unmount or whatever. Of course i also checked out the G.O.T. 2.2.1 Froyo.. some awesome performance increase, but then again, if i can't get of the house without carrying my charger, because within less than 8 hours its empty, it is simply not ment as an everyday phone. So i rather stick with the older, but solid version, which btw. is a common thing in IT anyway.. trying to get of this "version-junkie" trip ;-)

FYI, 2.0 has a problem of its own too - the camera autofocus bug.
No doubt about that. Ans release bug free? I still like the os for the fact tust its young and "beta"...with a great potential. (My personal opinion)

Hey Guys,
I myself have been having this issue ever since the latest update. Lets see, i got this phone in April this year and i have been having a lot of problems with the phone. The music player and camera auto-focus bug in 2.0, for instance, and the service centre in Singapore are not helpful at all till around August when they actually employs a Manager. Customer service picked up though after that and finally in Oct, after i called up Starhub and Motorola to scr*w them up, they are willing to exchange my milestone with a new one and i updated it to SHOLS_U2_02.36.2 and thats when my sd card problem started.
So 3 weeks later, yesterday, i had enough of the sd card problem. The problem just keeps getting worse. I almost wanted to slam my phone. Back to what i tried, I have tried to restore to factory settings, change my sd card (even though i doubt its the problem), and finally found the fix.
I flash my phone with Vulnerable Recovery for my bootloader, used RSD to downgrade my sbf to SHOLS_U2_02.36.0 and it worked. Oh and for those who doesn't want to lose any data, use the service version. I used the service version and it is working fine for almost a day now. No sd card unexpectedly removed, or any error message pertaining to sd card.
This is going to be my last Motorola phone ever. Sorry about the long post =X
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.

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 evening everyone. Haven't been on here in ages but thought I'd run a question by you (and I apologize if this is the wrong section to post this).
I have a Nokia Lumia 1520 and bought a second one as a replacement. I've had some games that I made a lot of progress on and was wanting to carry the app data over to the new phone via SD card. It looks like the new 1520 "sees" the data, but it lumps it into "Other" in Storage Sense and therefore isn't read by the new phone and the respective app. Is there anything that has been discovered that can help users recover their app data from an old phone? Thanks so much.
