N95 8Gb don´t boot. Format mass memory.

Hello,
My cellphone does not start after having copied some fonts in the mass memory (e:\resources\fonts). I have tried hard reset using the 3 buttons method (*, 3 and green dial) but nothing. I suspect that formatting the mass memory is the only solution, Is there a way to format it before you start up the cellphone?.
thanks in advance.

the use of a font changing software like fontrouter and others in devices without a removable memory card can cause you present proble. these apps were never designed to work on such handsets.
anyway what is done is done, the only way you can hard reset your phone is through the 3 key procedure, for as long as the phone won't even start then a code reset can't be used. just make sure you're doing it the right key, as early release of one of buttons will cause the procedure to fail.
1) Make sure phone is fully charged and switch it off.
2) Press simultaneously the green "call" button, '*' and '3', and keep them down.
3) With those 3 keys down, switch the phone on.
4) Only release the 3 keys when the phone shows signs of life such as the Nokia logo or the language selection screen.
if it failed again, then your only option is to take your phone to the nearest nokia care point, where it can be flashed back for you.

N95(8gb) Memory Problem (please help)

Hello
New here, so I hope I'm posting this in the right area of the board.
I have recently purchased a second hand N95 (8gb) but having problems with the mass memory. Yesterday, while downloading some tracks to the handset (about 2 hours worth of tracks from scratch), a warning kept appearing on the phone saying that memory was full and that I needed to delete some data. I went to the memory section of the phone and by mistake I pressed the 'format mass memory' thinking it would help, but it didn't. I still cannot put any tracks or videos to the phone. Intotal I have only 18 tracks, some 1 hour 12 mins in length. Clearly something has gone wrong.
The phones capacity is currently reading:
Capacity: 7735mb
Used: 1472kb
Free: 7734mb
Hope that someone can assist.
Many thanks
Jonathan

thats fine but i dont konw is this the latest software for this phone my suggestion would be go to nokia.com, before that switch off ur phone and remove ur battery u will find the product code it will start with the numbers "05" note these numbers i think it will be a 8 digit no i am not 100% sure,back to nokia.com u will find a link download software,there u will have an option "can i update" and it will have a box to enter these numbers enter and click "go" if u find a version greater than what u see on the phone go for the latest
"Sorry for the long description"

N95 8GB v20.0.016 - mass memory failure #3

For the third time my N95 8GB has managed to corrupt its mass memory ("mass memory corrupted") - only this time, I am unable to reformat it at all!
The problem behaviour is as follows:
Used the phone last night to take several pictures, accessing the Gallery at one stage to find and delete one picture. This afternoon I look for the photos to review, and the '200902' folder (images for February) on the mass memory has no subfolder and is empty. However, I DO have a video saved on the phone from the 7th of February!
This afternoon I am able to take as many pictures as I like and they are saved correctly in the gallery and the 200902 folder. I had used about 5.2GB of the mass memory at this point. (It may be worth noting that I would occasionally get the message 'Gallery: Memory full' whilst browsing the gallery, but never at any other time).
At this stage, the mass memory is still fully populated, so I thought it would be best to cut my losses and take a full phone backup. The backup process fails, with an error along the lines of having lost connection with the phone.
I check file manager to see what's going on, and the following message appears on the memory card page: "(no data)".
All previous times the handset corrupted its memory, the trigger seemed to be a reboot of the handset. (Contents were lost upon returning to File Manager after a reboot). Having not rebooted the phone at all in the last 24 hours, I was surprised that the memory card contents had apparently disappeared without any application being launched and apparently no new data writing attempts being made. Perhaps the read operation for the backup caused the failure? But this still does not explain how all my February photos were deleted.
Without any obvious way of getting to my files, I rebooted the phone, returned to file manager and was greeted by the familiar: "(mass memory corrupted)".
As mentioned previously, when this happened before I was able to format the memory via Menu -> Tools -> Utilities -> Memory -> Format. This time, I receive the message: "Mass memory is in use by other application. Continue anyway?". I select 'Yes' - but the handset simply returns to the memory screen and "(mass memory corrupted)". This still happens even after a reboot.
I have performed 'Factory settings' reset via the phone menus, a 'hard reset' via code *#7370#, a format by holding *, 3 and the call answer button whilst powering on the phone - none of these prevent the 'Mass memory is in use' error from occurring. I have also attempted to format drive E (mass memory) but this just returns an error code. When I attempt to upgrade the firmware, the process fails every time after ~3 minutes saying that the connection with the phone has been lost (the warnings about upgrading do state that the mass memory should NOT be encrypted, so I presume that it being inaccessible is equivalent to this).
I cannot see any way to format the 8gb memory so that I can make it usable once more! The phone was not dropped or damaged in any way in the last 24 hours, yet it seems that something must have physically changed inside it?
The only parallel I can draw between this incident and the previous one is that both times, the memory was around 2/3rds full (around 5.5GB). I am wondering if perhaps the FAT table outgrows itself and dies?
My 1 year warranty expired 3 weeks ago - I am hopeful my network operator will be able to provide a replacement and that this phone just has a 'bad' memory chip - it really is a superb phone barring this infuriating corruption problem mine seems to have!
If anyone could shed any light on a solution it would be much appreciated
Thanks,
Alex

In the end my operator agreed to replace the handset for me after a lot of to-ing and fro-ing. In my opinion the problem was caused by a faulty memory chip.
Alex
p.s. - the old handset was sent to the operator for repair and they were unable to repair it, only offer a refurbished replacement. With the greatest of respect, it's good to know my case is not unique!

Copying to Main Memory (not Mass Memory)- N95 8GB

Hi,
While converting / transferring the videos from PC to N95 8GB throughPC Suite, I noticed that it copied the files in Main Memory instead of Mass Memory.
Please let me know how to configure that or there is some other issue with this.
Regards,
Riz

have you tried using Nokia Suite rather than Nokia PC Suite? as Nokia PC Suite is no longer being actively developed or is supported by Nokia. there should be an option in the Settings of Nokia Suite to change the save location to the Mass Memory.
if not, then you can always use Windows Explorer to copy the files to the Mass Memory that appears as Removable Disk in windows.

Data recovery from N95 8Gb internal memory

Hello
My girlfriend's N95 8Gb came to something of a nasty end over the weekend. No screen, no keyboard, camera unit's out, but, with a battery the lights still come on. The question is whether we can recover anything from the internal 8Gb flash memory. Any thoughts as to whether anything's salvageable and/or how to go about it? Has anybody been in the same position and succeeded in recovering any data?
Cheers

Thank you for your replies cjlim and jjegan.
The main problem I've got with mass storage mode is that with no screen nor keyboard I can't really select anything. I suspect when I connect the USB cable its probably waiting for me to select mass storage or PC Suite modes before it registers as a device on my PC. At the moment I therefore don't know for sure the connection's working. As I say the lights come on, so I'm hoping the main board is still in some sort of working condition. Guess I could see if the Nokia service centre could add a keyboard and screen??
Although costly I'd be quite happy to pay a data recovery specialist to get the images back, but I'm wondering how to even find such a specialist. I've searched google for a data recovery specialist in Singapore, but to no avail. They all seem to be fine with flash memory cards (as I am), but seem to baulk at an internal flash memory chip.

you can back up your stuff by either downloading nokia pc suite or ovi suite
http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/download-software/nokia-pc-suites\
yes you can backup on your memory card, cards do get corrupt sometimes. once you back up via pc suite or ovi do as GS had suggested in the above mentioned post.
yes the *#7370# formats only phone memory

MASS MEMORY BOOT STOP !

MY PHONE DOES NOT BOOT. I TRIED THOSE THREE KEYS ALSO.. I KNOW WELL THE PROBLEM IS I CREATED A RESOURCE FOLDER AND A FONTS FOLDER INSIDE IT AN PASTED FONTS IN IT WHICH CAUSES THE BOOT FAILURE..I NOW FEAR IF I FLASH IT OR FORMAT OR UPDATE THE FIRMWARE IT WILL DO IN THE PHONE ONLY AND IT WILL TAKE THE FONT AGAIN FROM THE MASS MEMORY AGAIN AND STOP BOOTING PROCESS.. I MUST DELETE THAT FOLDER FOR MY PHONE TO BOOT. WILL FLASHING OR FORMATTING THE MASS MEMORY DOES NOT FORMAT ALSO. WHEN FIRMWARE IS LOADED IT RESETS ONLY PHONE I WANT TO RESET THE HARD DISK TOO.. WHAT TO DO PLS HELP. I WANT TO FORMAT OR DISABLE THE HARD DISK IN 95 8GB WHEN BOOTING... PLS

To format phone memory, you might try *#7370#, but it will total delete your contacts, your sms and everything in your phone memory.Be cautious then you do this.
And at the same you can format your TF CARD using a card reader.
=========i am using n78==================
Buy it,use it, play it,upgrade it......The phone is yours!

N95 8GB Isnt reading/detecting any memory card.

My N95 isnt reading or noticing that a memory card is inserted, I tryed formating it it wouldnt let me, a message comes up saying "Drive not found". Even when i create a fold inside it a massage comes sayinf "Param error".
Clicking Open says empty.
I tryed to formating on the PC, but nothing changes, its still says the same thing.
I tryed 2 new memory cards and both gave me the same messages.
could I have some help pls.

I remind you that if you have something calling itself a Nokia N95 8GB that has a memory card slot, then it most certainly isn't a genuine Nokia device.
This being the case, all bets are off when it comes to hardware compatibility and you will receive no support here. All I can say is simply that the µSD card reader in your phone is most likely not an SDHC reader, meaning that it won't accept cards greater than 2GB.

Can I safely change N95 8GB Mass Storage's name?

I have many software installed on my N95 8GB. I have an option to change the Mass Storage's name.
Is it safe to change the name from "Mass Storage" to something else?
Thanks.

Yes, the name of the mass storage can be changed with no ill effects.
Software always accesses the mass storage by "drive letter", pretty much the same way Windows does. To see this in action, create a playlist containing a few music files that are on your memory card and then open the resulting playlist file in a text editor. You'll see that all the tracks are referred to as E:\whatever_path\music_file.mp3
Interestingly enough, from a technical point of view, the name assigned to the mass storage is in fact a special kind of file called a "volume identifier". By changing the volume name you're merely renaming this special file.

Transfering memory card data to n95 8gb

thank you i will try this, but i last time i used pc suite i was having a connection problem
PC Suite doesn't even come into the equation here.
Connect the phone in data storage mode. It will appear in your "My Computer" as an external drive.
Enable the display of hidden and system files so that everything gets copied and just drag/drop stuff over from one place to the other using the explorer.
(Note that I can't provide more detailed help than that since I don't actually use Windows on my own PCs)

Upgrade from N95 to N95 8GB not enough memory

I have just upgraded from the standard N95 to the N95 8GB, I did the back up from the old phone however when restoring the files to the new handset it has completely filled the phone memory. There does not seem to be any management of the memory (aka sim/phone of old) I cant see how to make it use the larger mass memory rather than the phone.
Having the phone memory full renders it unable to do anything, like set up a mailbox or choose a ringtone.
Any ideas....

What vidio Format for N95 8gb

hi all
i was wondering what format do i have to do to get any films to play on the n95 8gb. i have a few divx films on my comp but am not able to transfer them onto my phone. as the n95 will not reconise them & what program should i use to change the divx files so the phone will reconise them.
any help would be great.
please try to keep it simple as i,m not good this new phone as yet.
many thanks Ray

You don't necessarily have to convert them, use DivX player mobile: http://mobile.divx.com/mobile (it's free), or coreplayer (http://coreplayer.com commercial software).
If you really want to convert them, I recommend Xilisoft video converter (http://xilisoft.com/video-converter.html)
