So, I hooked up my Razr to my company laptop and mounted the drives for the sdcard and internal memory drives as normal when wanting to access the files.
Now this didn't happen with my G2, but I got prompted that I had to encrypt the drives with a Yes or No option....I clicked Yes my mistake and now both drives got encrypted.
Accessible only when connected to my laptop now but the phone works fine, I just can't see anything with a file viewer as the files are encrypted.
Local IT says they cannot de-crypt the files, they don't have access. BUT, I can copy all the files from both MOT drive and sdcard to the laptop and burn to CD/DVD which will decrypt the files.
HOWEVER, I need to format both drives and then copy files back. But what is the proper way to format both drives???
Thanks!
No suggestions on the best way to format the Internal memory and sdcard?
Do the formatting options work good enough in the Storage setting?
Yuo should be fine doing that from the phone.
factory reset your device or you can try flashing the correct rom

I clean installed Flashback 10.3 (kudos to the developer!) on my GTab, and it works great. I do have a question...
When I plug in the USB cable from my PC (and turn on USB storage, of course), in Windows Explorer (Directory Opus actually) I can "see" the SD Card as drive G, but I can't see the root drive (Internal Memory). I do get a "Removable Disk H" that displays, which I suspect is internal memory, but it says there is no disk in drive H, and the properties say everything is 0 bytes.
I downloaded "APK Batch Installer" to allow me to back up my GTab apps to my PC, but it can't "see" the internal memory to get to the apps, either.
I have ES File Explorer on the GTab, and I can see the internal memory there; and from there I can "back up" the apps to the SD card - and then, of course, I can see them on the PC and back them up to the PC.
So I guess the question is, how can I see the internal memory (not the SD Card) from my PC? Is that possible? If not, fine, but if so, I'd love to know how.
Thanks, Cecil

There are 2 reasons for what you describe, above.
The first reason--the 2 drives showing up--is, I suspect, the same bug that afflicts the other HC ROM for the gTab, GtabComb(Over). Only one drive--for the SD card--should show up over the USB cable. Start reading from this post onwards for the details and for the "bug fix".
The second--the no disk in drive H: message--is related to the same bug, but, the actual reason for the 0 bytes and the message is because the filesystem that is being presented as drive H: is ext3 (the /data partition) and not vfat (AKA FAT32) like for drive G:.

The description above, and details in the post I linked to, should give you a clue if you really want to do this, but, I strongly recommend that you not export /data over the USB cable like that--esp. on a running system. Doing it in CWM is okay; but, not in the ROM--you will very probably trash the /data filesystem if you change anything there.
I used Titanium Backup to backup some game saves I had & found out not all of them got backed up so I have to start from scratch. I'm guessing some are saved on the internal storage is there any way of backing up those files?
backup internal
If you attach your computer to USB, choose Disk Drive option.
Then, in Windows Explorer, you can see both phone drives.
One (the internal you want) may be named HTC STORAGE.
Either way, you'll see both removable disks, and you can copy them
off for your backup.
Ok but the one your saying as the HTC STORAGE is actually the Phone Storage. There's 3 Drives I see on the phone Internal Storage, Phone Storage & the SD Card such as the removable disk.
3 drives
Yo, I've hooked up to XP, vista, and Win7 machines and only see 2 drives that can be accessed. Can you see data in those 3 drives you mentioned?
I don't see a Internal Storage drive

That must be a stock ROM setup??
Sorry for the mix up, I got confused it's actually a CD Rom drive. So is the Internal Storage part of the HTC Storage?
Hi all,
I recently needed my 8GB sdcard to install windows on a laptop with a broken dvd drive.
First I dragged all the data from the sdcard over to a new folder on my iMac.
After repartitioning and formatting the drive so it would be bootable I used it to instal windows on the laptop.
All was done so I erased all data again on the sdcard and repartitioned it again to FAT with mac's Disk Utility.
Dragged all the data from the iMac back to the sdcard but after booting the phone all apps that were on the sdcard are no longer able to start.
I searched the interweb and these forums and came across a few possible solutions but i'm not sure if those are the right ones
Does anybody have a solution to this problem so I can run these apps again without losing data?
Thanks in advance..
try reformating the sdcard with the phone format in recovery then connect to your mac and recopy the data back to the sdcard.
The phone does not like certain types of partitioning from other computers, using the phone own format guarantees that phone will recognize the sdcard.
Hi, I followed the following tip from a member:

Extremely easy process to build a card similar to N2A to run a very stable CM10 from:
http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/...r-nook-tablet/ (built by"Succulent")
And am wondering what the fourth FAT32 partitions purpose is, other than storing freshly downloaded files to it, or else for app data.
Since I can't access it from Windows, (just as Minitool says..."you can access only the 1st BOOT fat32 partition from Windows"), I can't copy any of my existing mp3's, vids, ebooks, or big game APK's (100's of MB each) to it. I created it big (10GB) for this purpose, but then while deleting,recreating this parition in Minitool, I saw (& then remembered) the minitool msg. How can one sideload files to the sdcard from a Win7 PC? Make that first FAT32 partition (by default 249MB) my 10GB ? Is that even an an option? OR is there a better method of getting all my existing mp3's, movie files, and APK files onto the SDcard?
You should see this partition when you connect your NT to your PC.
Like Digixmax says, connect the Tablet to the PC. You should be able to see both your internal storage and the use partition on the sd-card.
The Tablet might show up as a picture of an mp3-player with headphones OR you get prompts on the Tablet itseld to enable USB storage or something like that. It depends on you storage settings how the Tablet shows up on your PC, but you should absolutely be able to transfer files both to internal storage and the card!.
Thanks guys. I'm copying my stuff to it right now.
HTC One
Does not have external sd card, only the "Internal Storage"
I was trying to multitask and ended up wiping Internal Storage through TWRP.
Is there any app / process I can use to recover files?
Undelete[app] errors out saying it's not a fat filesystem
Disk Digger[app] only searches for specific file extensions, which would cover things like my TitaniumBackup & TWRP Backup files
When I plug it into a computer, it shows up as a Portable Device, and no problem that I've downloaded (Recurva / PCI / EUSUA) is able to search on portable devices, only physical/logical drives.
Is there anything I can do to attempt to get data back from the sd card?
Edit: Should have looked it up first...

That's obviously not for your phone, but there might be similar steps or a way to adapt that to work for you. Good luck!
