Flash memory corrupt

My daughter recieved a Iphone 4 as a gift, it was working fine and she downloaded about 30 games from the app store. Then the iphone went into recovery mode. We tried and tried to fet it out from recovery mode and also connected it to Itunes. ..... Now we are told that the IPhone's flash memory is corrupt. Is there any way to fix this problem. The phone was fairly new as my sister had used it for a few months and was working fine. Please any advise is helpful. Thanks

If it's in warranty you can have it replaced by a refurbished unit. If it's out of warranty then it will cost money to have it replaced - $149.00.

Where does the router fallback to load IOS when the IOS in flash memory is corrupted?

If the ios image stored in flash is corrupted from where does the IOS is picked up?

Hi,
The following details the router boot process:
1. The router is powered on.
2. The bootstrap program (ROMmon) in ROM runs Power-On Self Test (POST)
3. The bootstrap checks the Configuration Register value to specify where to load the IOS. By default (the default value of Configuration Register is 2102, in hexadecimal), the router first looks for “boot system” commands in startup-config file. If it finds these commands, it will run boot system commands in order they appear in startup-config to locate the IOS. If not, the IOS image is loaded from Flash . If the IOS is not found in Flash, the bootstrap can try to load the IOS from TFTP server or from ROM (mini-IOS).
Last if it doesnt find the software anywere it would end up in rommon mode.

Playbook 32G - Picture app corrupting picture files or Flash Memory bad ?

I have a Playbook 32G loaded with lots of pictures, mostly ~ 1 Meg each.   The pictures displayed correctly for a while and then the picture started to appear blurred as if only partially loaded.   I have over 5000 pictures in multiple folders. Once the files started to display blurry image, they stayed that way even when I closed the application and even re-boot (cold restart) the playbook.
I finally reloaded all the pictures after a security wipe, and it is doing this again.   Any idea whether this is a bug in the pictures app or a defect in the unit.   I am about the call support but I don't have the unit with me so I don't have the serial number.
Any suggestions on what I can check.   E.g. any filesystem check app ? diagnostic app that I can run on the flash memory.
p.s. running the latest OS2.

@Sinious: Hi, thanx for your opinion, but even if you think that i'm total idiot - i DON'T run anything except Flash itself at onec! I'm not absolutly stupid :-). And i even mention it in my first post - "I have opened only my Flash app ..." So - it's not that case. About 300dpi images - they arn't so big as you expected, they have something abou 1200px width, maximall 5 MB in size. The exported .swf file have something about 25MB, so it's not sooo big and i think that Flash can handle this. So - i don't run anything exept flash and my images arn't so big as you expected. Now what? And you thing 16GB of RAM is nothing? Well - maybe for som 3D modeling programs and video editing, but for Flash? I don't agree with you. I'm able to work with flash on my personal computer just with 4GB of RAM. And my pagefile means nothing? Then why, when i use that "trick" by allowing "App can handle > 2gb adress space" help me out? Why i suddenly can finish my project with all my 300dpi photos and more than 15 scenes with product presentation? And viruses and malware - of course i have toolf for handle them - again, i'm not compleat idiot :-). And in the end - i even have just couple of weeks clean installation of my system. Next problem is that you only speaking about my memory issue, but you forgot all my other problems. If there was only "you have low memory" problem and nothing will cras, i wasn't so mad about it. So - thanx for your opinion, but you are in most cases wrong.
@gerubach: thanx - i did it before, of course, that was first thing, but it didn't help. What hepled was that process wich i describe in my 3th post. Really - i haven't memory problem sinc then. As you say, we can't do much about it, exept using some freeware alternative. I don't want to give them propagation here, but ther are some very interesting out there. One of them even seems really cool, but i found it too late :-) Will try it next time. If you want to know about it, send me PM.

Is there a solution to Multiple Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities in Illustrator CS4? (APSB12-10)

My system is beeing flagged for having the Multiple Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities referenced in APSB12-10. The solution included in that bulletin does not apply to CS4, so I'm wondering if there is another patch or fix or something for earlier versions of the product.
Thanks!

Just because there is a potential issue does not mean anyone is actively exploiting it. If I wanted to hurt someone and infect their computer I certainly would find a million times more efficient ways than creating a malicious TIFF file that in the end only 3 people may download at all on the odd chance that they may actually run a version of AI or PS that is succeptible to these attacks. See the point? You are worrying about something that is effectively a non-issue and I'm sure you have web browsers, chat clients, media players etc. and their extensions/ plug-ins on your system that pose a significantly higher risk such as leaky/ malicious Flash games. Again, unless you are the type who "finds" his content and software on illegal sites, there is nothing going on here. the biggest security threat still is human carelessness, anyway.

E63 - Memory Corrupted - Due to Device Lock / Remo...

I have a brand new Nokia E63 (same as E71). My memory card is suddenly corrupted, but I managed to fix it. I believe the source of the problem is the Remote Lock and the Device Lock of the unit.
The problem started after I enabled the Device Lock and Remote Lock of my E63 unit. After a couple of hours, I tried opening my apps in the memory card. To my surprise, it's corrupted! I didn't panic because I'm confident I could retrieve the contents of the card with a memory reader device. But when I inserted my memory card to my PC, the card is unreadable. I had a feeling that the card must had been badly corrupted. But how? I just got this unit almost a day ago. I didn't do anything odd. I'm an OOP-Design Patterns oriented programmer so I'm not newbie when it comes to best practices.
As I searched the web, I found that there are people who encountered the same exact problem. And their guess is also the Device Lock.
So what I did is I disabled the Remote Lock and the Device Lock feature. I checked my memory card and it's still corrupted!
I turn off my unit and turn it on again, but sadly it's still corrupted!
I removed the memory card while the unit is on and then reinserted the card, and it worked.
In summary, to solve this memory corrupted problem, try disabling the Remote Lock and Device Lock feature. To disable the Device Lock, revert the password to "12345" (Do not type the quotes). Remove the memory card (Use the remove memory card feature of your unit!). Re-insert the card to your unit and problem should be fixed.

i wonder if its a problem with this phone...i have faced a lot of problems with accessing data on the memory card...time & again the songs added to the music player list disappear...the applications that i installed on the memory card are also sometimes "invisible"...when i try installing them again, it says these already exist...
have formatted the memory card quite a few times now...
luckily for me i took the backup of the memory card (that came in the box) & phone on the very 1st day...
hence, every time i format the memory card, i copy the initial contents...
but its quite irritating & frustrating...1 nite i go to sleep after listening to songs, the next morning it shows no songs found...have to restart the phone 2-3 times to find them again...
is phone lock & device lock the same thing that you talking about? i have tried the phone lock but my memory card did not get corrupted...remote lock i have never tried...
as for your queries sidy_porche,
1) as per the specs mentioned on the site "Video recording file formats: .mp4, .3gp; codecs: H.263, MPEG-4 VSP" & "Video playback file formats: .Flash Lite 3, mp4, .3gp; codecs: H.263, MPEG-4 VSP" also "Video streaming: .3gp, mp4, .rm"
i think the specs that you mentioned for playback will be compatible...d "640x480, 15fps, 3GP"
2) 3GP videos are played...but its quite interesting...the phone plays some videos while says "file corrupt" for others of the same format...i had 2-3 video songs of mp4 format,they work absolutely fine...i then transferred some new mp4 videos & they simply wont play...
3) it takes exactly 2 hours ( you can see it on the clock ) to charge from 0 to 100%...which is quite good coz a 1500mah battery gets charged in 2 hours...i had a 6265 earlier which took around 2.5 hrs to 3 hrs to get charged with the charger that came in the box...using the adapter, ca44 or something, it got charged in 1.5 hours dot.
4) ya the hearset has a mic...the best thing about this phone or rather one of the best thing is that it has a 3.5mm audio jack...you can insert any damn headphones (your fav ones) into it & enjoyyyyy...even speakers that you attach to your laptop/computer can be used...its awesome
i hope it helps

How to update the Windows on my bootcamp made flash memory?

Hi,
Previously Bootcamp helped me to make a flash memory that was an automatic Windows installer along with bootcamp drivers, it went well with installation and I was halppy. Until I noticed strange crashes at Windows and as I trust Apple, I thought it was a crappy Windows image.
So I recently purchased a newer Windows 7 image and want to try it out and I have two questions:
1- To prevent downloading 1+ Gb of bootcamp windows driver downloads, how can I make another bootcmap-made Windows installer flash memory with my newer Windows image BUT copy Bootcamp drivers from previous one?
2- How I should install the new Windows over previous one without corrupting Mac partition and other stuff like MBR?
Thanks.

Bad Flash memory?

Does this message necessarily mean that the flash memory is damaged?
AP#sh flash:
Directory of flash:/
%Error opening flash:/ (Invalid argument)
No space information available
Thanks.

This message could also be due to a corrupted flash. Therefore, please also consider doing
the two simple steps:
1) fsck flash:
2) format flash:
Then try upgrading the software version and check if you are getting this error.

Unable to boot from my USB Flash Memory Device

Hi there,
I recently purchased a macbook pro with the lion 10.7.2 firmware.
I am experiencing problems with my USB Flash memory as when i plug it in it comes up fine on the desktop and i can browse it. The problem is that when i open up an application such as Adobe Fireworks or Netbeans (Java programming) and try and access files from my USB flash drive, my drive does not appear on the list/menu, it only comes up with my macbook pro documents etc.
I have asked friends with Mac's and they tell me they do not experience this problem. Please can you help me whether it is a problem with my settings or any other issues.
Thank you.

Nope, I dont recieve any massages at all. It just doesnt appear.
Also usually you can drag a file into an application, for example drag an image into photoshop in order to open that image up but this does not work either.

How can I use my Zen Xtra like a flash memory

Hello, I want to know how can I use my MP3 player like a flash memory.
I have one and if I conect it with other computers I can't transfer documents and with a flash memory I conect it in all the computers with Windows XP and all of they detect the flash memory and they can transfer documents.
With my Zen Xtra I connect it and the computer detects it but I can't transfer anything because the computer doesn't have the software.
My question is.. Do I have to install the software in all the computers that I use ? or there are other forms to conects PC and MP3 Player? ( I want to transfer documents like text, image, etc)

But some MP3 players do that, why this one can't be connected with all the computers ?

I've bought a new USB flash memory. I plugged it in the USB port then a message come out: Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled.... Please help...

I don't know what to do. I plugged that USB in both ports but the same message came out. I charged my laptop and the same thing happened again. The surprising thing is that I tried plugging the USB in my cousins laptop (Macbook Pro) and it worked!!! but not with mine. The USB flash memory made by PNY. Please help...

There are two types of USB 2 devices - low power which consume 100 milliamperes or less from the USB bus and high power which consume up to 500 milliamperes. Your flash drive is probably a high power device and is overloading the USB bus of your computer. (Some notebooks can support only low power USB devices.)
I know that my MBP's USB ports support high power devices but I've come across reports that not all high power devices will work on the MBA and that might be the case for your flash drive. My guess is it has a large capacity? 32GB or more?

Well, the pithy answer would be to buy a computer from a vendor who supports free operating systems.
Of course, I own and love my DV4.
What does it mean? Some BIOS implementations use areas of low memory without properly allocating it (letting the operating system know it is in use). Windows just does not use that area of memory, and some vendors do a sloppy job in their software quality; it only has to work with Redmond code, so why fix it?
Linux is forced to implement a bunch of ridiculous hacks to work around low quality hardware and firmware. You found one. The kernel was watching that memory to see if it could be trusted. Something changed that memory when nothing (in the kernel's view) should have touched it. Since it changed, the kernel has taken note that that memory should not be trusted. Kind of analogous to finding a bad block on a disk drive and subsequently ignoring it by adding it to a list of bad blocks.
So, aside from sucking it up because you lost some usable memory, you need do nothing.
EDIT: BTW, it probably means the new kernel is more stable.

Can I install Windows ON a flash drive or on flash memory?

All over the internet I see questions from people wanting to install Windows from a USB flash drive with varying results, but my question is different. I want to install Windows ON removable flash memory. I would like to purchase a MacBook Air, but would like to also continue making use of Boot Camp without taking up too much of my limited hard drive space. I've found fast 3.0 USB sticks and flash cards that would be nice, but can they be treated as a partition in order to install and run Windows?

Ignoring the fact that Windows doesn't really support booting from removable media (you might be able to force it if you are willing to build a custom installer), I can think of another reason you wouldn'r want to consider this. Windows is notorious for heavy usage of the swap file, and I believe I recall reading one report where someone had managed to install Windows to a flash drive, and within 30-60 minutes, the OS had written to the swap file so much that the flash memory was beginning to fail. Remember that each time you write to flash memory, it cases a small amount of damage to the memory, and after a significant number of writed, it will fail. Regretfully, the Woindows swap file will cause this threshhold to be reached very quickly, and then you start getting write errors...

Installing LabVIEW DSC 8.6 Run Time on Windows XP Embedded flash memory

I'm trying to install LabVIEW DSC 8.6 Run Time on an embedded PC running Windows XP Embedded. This has a small local disk (c), so I would like to install DSC Run Time on a secondary flash memory drive (d). The installer tells me that I don't have enough free space on drive c, but I cannot browse to select drive d. What do I need to do to get this installed?
Thanks,
Josh

The DSC module can't easily be installed to external flash memory. You'll want to move any extra data onto the flash drive to free up space on the internal memory for installing the DSC module.

USB flash memory: "application not found" error

When recently trying to use a USB flash memory stick I was getting an "f:\ application not found" error. I tried all kinds of fixes from Microsoft. Turns out it was caused by Lightroom.
Since the memory stick had photos on it, my computer's Autoplay was trying to launch Lightroom. Problem is, Lightroom is listed as "Lightroom 4.0 64" in the Autoplay menu. I have Lightroom 4.4. As far as I can tell, there's no way I can fix the incorrect "Lightroom 4.0 64" listing. The solution is to remove Lightroom from any Autoplay options.
This is the second such problem I've had with Lightroom. The previous problem was right clicking on a photo file and trying to use the "open with" menu. It worked fine when I had Lightroom 4.3. After updating to Lightroom 4.4, it didn't work. Another Lightroom user found a workaround, which was to rename the Lightroom 4.4 folder back to Lightroom 4.3.
These are both lazy Adobe oversights. You have to realize all the Windows functions that will be affected with an update and make sure they are updated as well. I spent half a day solving this latest USB flash memory error. Get your updating act together.

You don't mention your OS or which version of Outlook you're using.
For Windows, this may be helpful:

Why my macbook pro freezes when I export pictures to usb flash memory

I am a new mbp user and mainly organize my travel pictures using my macbook but recently I cannot export my pictures to "burn" or copy to other flash memory.
I have been diligently backing up using the time machine but as the file size grows i think I am running out of memory. Or is that the reason why?
Can anybody help?
Many thanks
