Corrupted Mdatastore.db3 in Ovi suite

I have a corrupted mdatastore.db3 file. It's has gone corrupted due to which sometimes it recognizes my new messages & sometimes it don't.
So, I want to know how can I take out my messages from it. Since it's related to software so might be only nokia developers can only tell me how to take out all my messages. or else if someone knows how to extract messages from mdatastore.db3 plz tell me because I have some very important messages.

Ovi Suite download.msi corrupt CRC failed

Ovi suite was working fine on my PC XP with N82.
A few days ago the Ovi Suite toolbar Spanner,Tools icon stopped displaying tools and now just displays Nokia Download!.
When I select Nokia Download! it starts and then in notifications it shows that there is a new version of Nokia Download! to download. When I select this I get a message that Some installation files are corrupt. There is a CRC failed error
on Nokia Download.msi
Why is there a CRC error ?
Why has the previous Tools functionality gone ?

This seems to be about the same problem.

But why have the tools gone ?

Nokia Ovi Suite and Nokia 5800 crashing after fw u...

When I start my Nokia Ovi Suite (V. 2.2.0.245) it works as usual, I can brows around my content without any problems. As soon as I connect my Nokia 5800 XM (RM-356 V. 51.0.006) it crashes. Worked just fine before I upgraded to the latest version on the phone.

Uninstall Ovi and re-download from Nokia web. Reinstalled Ovi Suite but that didn't work.
I then uninstalled all Ovi and all Nokia related software, cleaned Registry and reinstall Ovi Suite: Failed to fix.
Then I installed Nokia PC Suite 7.1.40.1 which worked just fine with 5800 XM (RM-356 V. 51.0.006). I had no problems making backups or to synchronize.
===============================================================
How to solve this problem?

LOL
I just tried Nokia Ovi Suite again to copy the full error report that it sends to Microsoft.... lo and behold it started to work again?????
======================================================
This I did before I tried
======================================================
Then I installed Nokia PC Suite 7.1.40.1 which worked just fine with 5800 XM (RM-356 V. 51.0.006). I had no problems making backups or to synchronize with Nokia PC Suite.
Made a complete backup on my phone.
Installed Nokia Software Updater and I reinstall the latest FW 51.0.006 to my phone.
Then I organized my content for a few minutes.
Shut down Nokia PC Suite and Nokia Software Updater.
Started up Nokia Ovi Suite.
Connected my phone and clicked on PC-Suite on the options.
It now works again????
Something happened when I installed PC Suite that enabled me to use my Nokia 5800 with Ovi Suite again.

Ovi suite - 'find music on ovi store'

The 'Find music on OVI store' screen, has only Search function, but doesnt allow the rich browse experience as available in the web site. Is this intentional?
If I click 'Browse all music on Ovi', it takes me to website, but doesnt allow me to download there :-(
So should I always visit the website and browse to see interested albums, come back to the suite and search and download. Is this expected?
Not sure if I'm missing something here.

Hi,
Ovi Suite is really an horrible software. I was unable to exclude files from the music library, and they was already deleted from the file system. I kept trying to delete but nothing happened!!!
I found where the Ovi Suite keeps the its music library database...
With the Ovi Suite closed, go to the folder (in Windows 7):
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Data Store\DataBase
And rename the file MDataStore.db3 to MDataStore.old.
Open the Ovi Suite and now just adds yor music to the library. It will take some time but will be an updated library. (if you have any music you don't wanna in the library, move it to another folder before this procedure).

OVI Suite 3.0.0.284 : Cannot sync contacts

After my multitude of issues with the new N8, had to set up a router just for this device because it would crash my whole network, I decided to update to this version of OVI SUITE. Long story short, I lost capability to sync my contacts with Outlook 2010. It worked with the previous version, this one simply crashes. Sync's everything else but contacts. I said, there was a problem with the update process. I uninstalled the thing 10 times according to the guides here and no luck. Heck, I even formatted my laptop yesterday! Yeah, for New Year's whilsts I was waiting of guests I was formatting my laptop. Still no joy. Fresh OS, with fresh Outlook and brand new PST, does not sycn contacts. OVI Crashes!
Any solutions? Please don't say remove the software because I installed the damn thing on brand new OS and still crashes.

I reported this issue to Nokia Support, got a detailed answer. Have not tried the suggested things because I was able to sync contacts by doing uninstall of OVI Suit and reinstalling from OVI Suit download link at betlabs.nokia.com.
Here´s the official answer:
===============================
vielen Dank für Ihre Kontaktaufnahme mit Nokia Care.
Bitte hinterlegen Sie als erstes in der NOKIA Ovi-Suite Ihre Ovi-Benutzerdaten unter Extras - Optionen - Proxy.
Danach bitte ich Sie, die automatische Synchronisation zu deaktivieren – sofern eingestellt - und auf manuelle Synchronisation umzustellen:
Synchronisieren > Synchronisationsoptionen > Gerätesynchronisation
Hier entfernen Sie bitte alle Häkchen aus dem Feld " Bei jedem Verbinden des Gerätes automatisch synchronisieren.
Sollte die nicht funktionieren, gehen Sie bitte wie folgt vor, um das Problem zu lösen:
Öffnen Sie bitte bei Windows Vista und 7 folgenden Pfad:
C:\Users\Benutzername\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Data Store\DataBase
Dieser Ordner ist sowohl unter Windows XP als auch unter Windows Vista ein versteckter Ordner, so dass Sie ihn unter Umständen je nach gewählten Optionen erst sichtbar machen müssen:
a. Klicken Sie auf Start und anschließend auf Ausführen.
b. Schreiben Sie control folders in die Box und klicken Sie Enter.
c. Im Auftauchenden Fenster, wählen Sie bitte den Reiter Ansicht aus.
d. Wählen Sie versteckte Ordner anzeigen aus.
e. Deaktivieren Sie Geschützte Systemdateien ausblenden (empfohlen)
f. Deaktivieren Sie Erweiterungen bei bekannten Dateitypen ausblenden
Nachdem Sie diesen Ordner geöffnet haben, entfernen Sie bitte den MDataStore.db3. Starten Sie jetzt bitte die Ovi Suite erneut und versuchen zu synchronisieren.
2. Sollte dies keinen Erfolg bringen, deinstallieren Sie bitte die ganze Ovi Suite und installieren Sie diese über folgenden Link neu:
http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/nokia-ovi-suite
Bitte berücksichtigen Sie, daß Antivirensoftware und die Firewall die ordnungsgemäße Installation der Software behindern können.

I am very depressed

Hi, I had about the same problem for weeks.
System: Windows 7 Professional X64, no SP
Ovi Suite: 2.1.1.1
Device: Nokia N97, SW 21.0.102, Special-Software 21.0.102.238.03
Language: All systems and devices in German
After I installed Ovi Suite from the scratch, after freshly installed Windows 7 System, it ran correctly.
So I installed and configured the Windows System like I want it. After quite some time, the Ovi App began to hang and did not work properly anymore.
A reinstall of the Suite led into the above mentioned problems. It just hung up, right after start. No possibility to connect the mobile device or configuration.
The main message I got from Windows message report was that Nokia M Platform lost its connection. Nokia M Platform 2.6.86 (NLib 0.8.552)
Another earlier message said: Nokia M Data Store opened at location "C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Data Store\Thumbnail\DataBase\MDataStore.db3"
I checked the path and the datastore and renamed "\Thumbnail\DataBase\MDataStore.db3" to "MDataStore.db3_old" and also "\Nokia Data Store\DataBase\MDataStore.db3" to "MDataStore.db3_old".
Now the installation runs fine again and the Ovi Suite does not hang anymore. The only disadvantage in my case was, that I use the Nokia Music Player and all my playlists etc. were gone after I renamed the database.

Older Versions of Ovi Suite

Hello, All I ask is that I want every single version of Ovi suite.
I began using Ovi suite at v 2.1.1.1 version and since then there were plenty of updates, I've saved MDataStore.db3 files when Messages reached 5k, I have 9 of them right now and can't open, cause something changed I put MDataStore.db3 file into C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Data Store\DataBase
but nothing happens.
I just want all the Ovi suite versions on filehippo... thanks..

Hi Svan,
if you wish to save text messages, you can import them from your phone into Nokia pc suite and save them in .csv format which opens quite easily in Microsoft excel. I too remember seeing the save message option disappear when Ovi suite was first released. However, Nokia pc suite is still available for download from Nokia and runs without conflict, even when Nokia suite is running.
Hope this helps.

Ovi suite disaster 2

PC Suite is heading for the graveyard so we all have to migrate to Ovi Suite which is a bit of a disaster. Having loaded Ovi Suite , the thing took over my PC. All of my PC. I couldn't switch between applications, answer emails or open documents. So what had happened? Ovi Suite had grabbed all the machine resources to index my music collection. Having had a bad experience with Nokia's ability to manage music in the past, I use another music manager so I didn't want this one. I tried to stop it by stopping it indexing my music folder but that didn't work. It continued, even after I had quit Ovi Suite. I had to stop it manually in Task Manager, then delete the mdatastore.db3 database from the Nokia DataStore / Database data folder. This had the right effect and it stopped.
Why does Nokia do this to us? Other indexing applications are set with a low priority so that they do not consume resources. Google's indexing has little effect on the performance of my computer (even it takes a few days to complete) and is a happy compromise. Nokia's developers seem to think that their applications are the most important of all. Well, they're not. Nokia - stop messing around and provide applications that are usable.

Hi Angsta,
You could try updating to the latest version 2.2.1.23 either thru' software updates from OVi suite or manually downloading it from www.ovi.com/suite
But before doing tat keep in mind tat the latest version has a sync issue, but have a temperory workaround as well. Go thru my post in the below link for the workaround.
/t5/Nokia-Ovi-Suite/Nokia-Ovi-Suite-2-2-1-23-has-been-released-update-now/m-p/753029#M5429
I hope syncing someway is better than getting an error and not able to sync.

Diwa

Ovi Suite hangs on sync

Hello, I just bought a Nokia N8 and wanted to sync with Outlook. The first time it worked, but after removing the phone and reconnecting the sync hangs at different stages. Sometimes in the preparation stage "Synchronisation wird vorbereitet", sometimes during sync. There is no error message, why it hangs. After deinstalling and removing any phone specific drivers from device panel I reinstalled the Ovi suite. First sync worked, second not. In my opinion, regular reinstallation for every sync is no option. Any other ideas? Windows 7 pro 64 bit, Ovi suite 3.0.0.290, Outlook 2003.

Hi,
N8
Win7 x64
Ovi 3.0.0.290
I have exact same problem as OP.
I spent 4 hours this morning attempting to sync contacts, which I eventually managed to do.
I am now trying to sync Calendar & Tasks, but having no luck. Ovi always hangs with one of two possible status messages (both of which were originally described by OP).
Either:
...or...
I have tried all suggestions put forward by mahayv in this thread, up to and including deletion of the MDataStore.db3 file. BTW, deleting this file did not make Ovi Suite lose all contacts, messages etc., as mahayv indicated it would.
When Ovi hangs on Sync, and I attempt to cancel, it then hangs again with the following message:
After I then shut down Ovi, using File > Exit, both the program window and notification area green "Ovi" icon disappear, but two processes are still running (namely: NokiaOviSuite.exe and nokiaaserver.exe). These processes must be manually terminated before Ovi Suite can be successfully restarted. If I do not manually terminate these processes and try to restart Ovi Suite, then what happens is I get multiple copies of these processes appearing in task manager, but no Ovi Suite window will ever appear.
Bottom line: Ovi Suite is not behaving remotely as it should.
I have tried many possible solutions, suggested both here and in other threads and forums. These include:
Reinstalling Ovi Suite
Repairing Nokia connectivity cable driver
Reinstalling Nokia connectivity cable driver
"Repair Sync" option within Ovi Suite
Uninstalling ALL Nokia software and reinstalling
Restoring a C drive backup I took about a week ago (i.e. before all this started) thus giving me a "clean slate" from which to try again
I sincerely hope this issue is being taken seriously, as from my various net wanderings it looks like many people are having connectivity issues with Ovi Suite. FWIW, I get the impression that the common factor is Windows 7 x64.
As people have mentioned previously, Ovi Suite is a big let-down at the moment. I really like my N8, but the longer I am without calendar sync, the bigger a problem this is going to become.
Thanks mahayv for helping out so far - I really hope we can get to the bottom of this.

Ovi Suite 3 - Music library refresh problem

Hi, i am using Windows 7 x64 and newest Ovi Suite 3.0.0.284.
I've been searching to find a thread with a similar problem and find none. So the problem is that i can't refresh my music library in Ovi Suite. There is just no such option. I am not gonna complain about his program showing pieces of music that i have deleted months ago, because that is something i can live with. This is just ridicolous.
I have an album that i have moved from a disk to disk and i can't copy it to a device because there is a yellow triangle with a (!) near songs and ovi claiming those files dont exist. They exist but this program just cannot update the directiories. How of an advanced option is that? Who are the people this program is designed for? This software is a joke. How can i refresh the library without changing my system files, formating the discs, buying a new phone and a new PC?

Hi,
Ovi Suite is really an horrible software. I was unable to exclude files from the music library, and they was already deleted from the file system. I kept trying to delete but nothing happened!!!
I found where the Ovi Suite keeps the its music library database...
With the Ovi Suite closed, go to the folder (in Windows 7):
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Data Store\DataBase
And rename the file MDataStore.db3 to MDataStore.old.
Open the Ovi Suite and now just adds yor music to the library. It will take some time but will be an updated library. (if you have any music you don't wanna in the library, move it to another folder before this procedure).

Backup OVI Suite contents for Formating the Laptop...

I need to format my Laptop n so i need to take backup of alll my OVI Suite contents from my laptop so that later i can use the same files,
Would it be "C:\Users\xyz\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Ovi Suite"
or is it
"C:\Users\xyz\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Data Store\DataBase"
Also whats the difference between these 2 folder files as 1 says "MDataStore.db3" & other has sepearte folders like messages, contacts, photos etc.

I have to say that this is something that I have never done myself, so I'm not 100% sure that it will work. There are atleats two key files that you need. One is this MDataStore.db3 that you have already found. Other one is msg_dp.sqlite that is in ..Nokia\Nokia Ovi Suite\Messages\Database folder.
Maybe you should take both of those folders that you are proposing (all files from there), just to be sure that you don't miss anything.
As an extra safety you can export you messages from Messages File menu and Sync your contacts to your phone (you can also create vcf files from your contacts by dragging them to some folder, but that is laborious, since you have to do it one-by-one)

Syncing issues, Ovi Suite on Windows 7: Some sugge...

Hi. I was complaining on my twitter about Ovi's last release and someone asked me to report about my experiences here. For most of the issues I did a workaround by myself but I think that I'll not be the only one reporting them and experiencing the same problems, so I'd like to show my thoughts as a suggestion for the next releases.
When I started Ovi Suite after the installation to explore the changes, I had a massive system slowdown and I'm running a Core 2 Quad! Then I realized that Ovi was indexing ALL of my PC musics and photos, including subfolders.
Ok, that's what the software was designed for, the problem is that I have over 30GB of images on my Pictures folder and 22GB on Music. I never checked to immediate syncing when my device is connected neither search my local library, but I just clicked on Music tab and my PC went to a extreme slowdown, NokiaMServer.exe on top CPU usage and crashed. It got worse when I connected my Nokia: It forced to sync the entire 22GB Music files on a 8GB SD! Someone missed a condition there to check if the device has enough space!
I'm not discussing how I sync my music files but I download a lot of 320kb bitrate songs which each one has 11~25MB so as my headphones won't play a louder sound than any 96KB AAC, I convert all that I want to hear on my device and just drag and drop with all of metatags including album covers, works for me. From now I'll put all of my converted files on a specific folder, sync with Ovi and keep everything organized BUT why the hell isn't there a screen asking me to select the default folders for syncing on the first run?
...And the same thing happened to my pictures, just a little bit worse. My system was crashing, Windows Explorer crashed, NokiaMServer went to 25% CPU usage on Task Manager because of thumbnail processing! Really, why the hell would I like to put my entire Pictures folder on my cellphone, especially huge files?
To stop Music indexing, I just selected all songs and deleted them from the Ovi's database/collection without messing with my iTunes library (though some metatags and album covers were corrupted) but for the pictures, deleting 35MB from catalog on my own computer lasted longer than using Bluetooth or the old Nokia Phone Browser to send a 100MB file!
Removing the folders from "folder-watch" or changing the library addresses over the Options should clean Ovi's library/collection but it didn't worked, Ovi kept adding pictures and songs. The only way to stop the ridiculous thumbnail processing (from pictures which I also moved to another folder just in case) was deleting "\AppData\Roaming\Nokia\Intellisync", "\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Data Store" and "\AppData\Roaming\Nokia\Ovi Suite" and seting Ovi's to sync to another folder.
I know that there's a lot of people that don't put that amount of files on Windows default documents folders but I can't understand why this software is so slow for simple commands that other softwares can do better! Even the old PC Suite with Nokia Phone Browser was faster when copying or moving a file to another folder and now it's not even modifying or sending files, it is only reading and indexing!
So, I think that it's not much to ask to Nokia/Ovi developers:
1. Let users choose the default folders for syncing BEFORE start syncing.
2. Faster indexing and exclusion for Ovi's library. Don't waste time processing a half-screen-sized thumbnail, just show a 128x128 and if the user wants to see the full-sized picture, make Ovi launch system's default picture viewer/editor. After all, your own pictures don't have DRM...
3. Nokia Music: Can someone explain me how to lock that damn scroll-bar? Because when I'm exploring my songs suddenly the bar goes back to the top! If you want to make a stylish scroll-bar, fine, but please, make it functional as a normal scroll-bar! Otherwise use system's default!
4. Again about Nokia Music: Something I thought it was nice was letting users choose what application they wanted to use for syncing songs, because some legacy devices don't work with Nokia Music and transferring files from Nokia Music Manager was faster because you didn't had to change you connection type from PC Suite to Media Device. Fortunately for me, iTunes AAC format works fine to reduce disk usage on my devices, but it would nice if Ovi could convert songs for a smaller file size as Music Manager did.
5. I'm also experiencing some random nokiaaserver.exe crashes without any Nokia application running at the same time.
That's all. I hope someone read it and understand my point of view.

use this version. it has most of the bugs fixed...
keep in mind that if you are using a win 764bit, there are still issues with crashing.
here is the link to get the 3.0.0.289

N8 ovi suite connection not working and unable to ...

Hi guys, i bought a brand new n8 today with vodafone australia, and being naturally very excited about it i tried to download some apps from the ovi store. i was prompted to download the ovi store installer, which i accepted, but when it came to installing it onto my phone i was displayed"file corrupted". i went on to ovi suite to try and install it from my pc (vista) and i was unable to update my support software, and then my phone was unable to connect to the ovi suite.
Can someone please help me! this is literally a brand new phone and i have performed no resets, soft or hard, on it.
Thanks, fletcher

The splitter coax F-connector may have been installed with a small connector wrench. Just use a small 11mm or 7/16 in. wrench, or pliers and loosen the connector about 1/2 turn. Then you can disconnect it with your fingers. Make sure the cable itself is straight and not putting pressure on the connector.
