I can see in Windows the MicroSD drive and also a CD-Rom drive. What's the point of this cdrom drive? What is it really mapping from the phone? Because it cannot be accessed.
Thank you.
I'm not sure, but I think the CD rom drive is for PC Companion.
If you use root explorer and delete dop.iso it should stop that, however if you do this then you can't install PC Companion from your phone.
What is dop.iso? If it's a file to be installed in the PC It cannot be accesed. The SE cdrom unit is just empty, so I find it pointless to be be mounted in Windows.
Does it happen in Linux or other OS that you have two units mounted? Is this just a thing of the mini or does it happen in all the xperias?.
Dear All,
I forced to preform a Factory Reset to my HD2.
I made backup from my contacts and mails. But forgot to backup 2 EXCEL files.
IS THERE ANY WAY TO RECOVER MY DATA?
It's critical for me.
Thanks in Advance
Not sure of any such way. Storage technology is different on phones and on disks. Still look for any software you may find for it. Or check your PC for the files.
One solution is to take those files from the PC, if you have deleted them from PC, then run file recovery on the PC, there's hardly any efficient way to recover from a Phone memory.
Recovering from My Storage (internal storage)
1. first and most important thing is, after losing your data DO NOT COPY ANYTHING to your device or it will overwrite the current data (yes, the data still exists but the pointers were deleted)
2. download Active Recovery: http://www.file-recovery.net/
3. download nueMassStorage (or any other USBtoPC app. you can find a guide for it in this thread so you can choose the most compatible software for you if nueMassStorage doesn't work): http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/pag...ssStorage.aspx
4. go to start/settings/connections/USB to PC and mark Mass Storage (USB Drive) instead of Activesync
5. Soft Reset
6. connect your device to your comp. the device will be read as a storage card.
7. use active recovery to recover from Removable Disk

I have an Archos 70 IT with a 1Tb disk upgrade. I've previously managed to connect it to my PC via USB and transfer a load of music files. Now I am able to make the USB connection (it shows up as a drive in Explorer), but Windows doesn't recognise the format of the disk - a message pops up saying "you need to format the disk in drive I: before you can use it". The disk can be accessed fine from within the Archos.
I've tried rebooting but got the same thing.
Can anyone suggest anything?

I got same issue as you and found the solution as beneath process:
(1) double check your Hard Disk whether is already connected by partition software(such as "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" )?
(2)try to change letter in "partition" in case your hd did not have "partition letter"
Afterward your PC can recognize the format of disk
for your reference

Thanks for your recommendation. I installed MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition but it simply listed the Archos as a "bad disk", and didn't give me any option to assign a drive letter, or in fact to do anything else with it.
Does anyone else have any ideas??
I also seem to have a problem writing to the HDD from within the Archos O/S. When I use ED File Explorer to copy a file from my LAN to a Downloads folder on the HDD I get a "copy failed" error. I get the same error if I attempt to copy a music file from one location to another in the Music folder.
What partitiontype do you have?

How would I find out?
In Windows Explorer, select the drive and then rightclick Properties.
You should see FileSystem.
If it's NTFS, Android only has a Readonly driver.

The problem is that Windows does not recognise the format of the partition - it asks me whether I want to format it when I select it.
you can change the type in the archos.
go in the recoverymenu -> format system -> set storage filesystem and switch it to vfat.
Now windows can read the filefsystem and ur able to copy files ;-)
I have this folder (with files from a download) that I have tried to delete from the phone storage (not the external SD Card).
No matter the method attempted, I keep getting:
"Cannot delete folder: The storage is write-protected.
Remove the write-protection and try again".
I've tried many ways on the phone itself (through Root Explorer...and I did make sure the RW is active), debugging has been tried on as well as off, etc...
Through the PC (Win7 SP1) as well (debugging on and off for this too). All drivers work for the phone, and no other problems. Can easily transfer files from the computer to the device.
I'm stock rooted with overclock kernel (but don't keep it overclocked).
I don't want/need this folder/files. Its not a system folder/file. I have moved it into my 'download' folder just to keep an eye on it. If I try to 'move it' to the external card, all it does is 'copy'.
Any and all helpful information would be greatly appreciated, as this is driving me nuts trying to delete this thing.

When I come across a suck folder like that I open the folder and delete each file one-by-one. Then delete the empty folder.
For persistent files I've had to change the file extention to delete it.
I copied all my files to PC and had to format my card. Then I re copied all the files to the card.
Nothing I did could save it.
Edit I read incorrectly. Its your internal card.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
I have the same issue...the internal sd card is giving me a write protection error.
Any way to fix it without doing a full wipe?
Thank you!
Why not backup ur important sd card commponents to ur PC , then goto custom recovery do internal/external sd card full wipe and then restart ur phone ! it worked for me. the restore all ur backup files.

Acutally I just solved it with really easy way on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I was studying formus for 2 hours and not one answer or advice helped So I did this:
1. turned off USB debugging in developers menu
2. after connecting my phone to pc I switched the phone to behave as media device (MTP) and not as camera (PTP) (in notification bar there will be "connected as a media device/as a camera" option after connection to PC - click on it and swtich it)
3. now everything works like a charm and I can delete and write to the SD card without a problem

It does not work your idea
open the phone then remove battery, (without switching off the phone) after you removed battery remove sd card also, and wait for 10seconds and put in sd card again, put battery too and switch on your phone, after this u can delete everything u couldn't. Hope it works for you too.
When I switch to media device than when I click on "phone" or "card" when I click, it says, device has stopped working or been disconnected.
Help!
1. Flash A Recovery ( I recommend TWRP).
2. Then Go to Advance >> File Manager.
3. Browse the File/ Folder you wanna delete.
4. Open the folder and go to option's (the blue coloured box with a tickmark).
5. Select Delete, and Swipe To Confirm.
(This procedure is for TWRP. Procedure may be different, depending on your recovery)

Hi,
I have an issue and cant seem to find anything on the forums.
I use Linux ubuntu and when I connect via my USB dock I can see the folders on my external storage but cant access them.
Its a 32GB card formatted to FAT 32. When I take the card out of the phone and connect directly via SD card slot it works no problem.
I have spoken to somone about this and they think that when I rooted the device as I did not put in a password this is why I cant see whats in the folders. Its something to do with security does anyone know if that is correct?
Thanks
Mathew
mm tried:
run "fdisk -l" command. Here you'll see the USB and it's path.
Create and directory name /mnt/usb/ then use the command
"mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb" and then, "cd /mnt/usb"
?
That does not work
If I re rooted the device when I re root will it allow my to put a password on it? Which would mean each time I connect my via USB would my Ubuntu machine ask for the password and give me access to the files?
trahedy... phone don`t want to flash firmwares... Odin always stuck and heimdall too... WTF ?! what l need to do now?
Does anyone one have any idea do I just need to reroot my phone?
