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.

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.

N95 8GB unable to reset using shortcuts or codes

Every time I switch my N95 on I get a message saying new time zone found, when the alarm goes off in the morning the handset switches itself off and then switches back on again, the speech quality if very poor and there are also a couple of other minor problems. I downloaded Nokia Suite but the handset is not being seen using this software or as an external device through Windows Explorer.
I've tried using various suggested hard and soft reset codes and also the 3 * and Send sequence whilst switching the handset on.........none of these are working.
I can't return it to the shop I bought it from as I'm now out in the Middle East.
It's the first Nokia I've had for a very long time and I've got to say I'm really disappointed with it......any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Maybe you need to try the full/deep reset.
Always remember to backup your phone before performing resets as your data may be lost.
Then try the "3 finger deep reset". With the phone powered off, depress and hold these three keys simultaneously "*" "3" "green phone" and then power on phone using the on/off button whilst keeping the three keys depressed until you hear start-up tone.

Sending all images from n95 8gb from phone to pc.

how do you send ALL the images on your n95 from the phone to the pc?, because now when i connect it only lets me transfer the ones i took between the last time i did and now. surley there is a way to re-send the other ones that you have sent before but since, lost!

I assume that you are using the Image Store feature in PC Suite, which is not something I use myself as I favour the manual approach.
By far the easiest way is to connect the phone in data transfer mode (sometimes called mass storage mode), which will make your phone's 8Gb mass memory appear in Windows Explorer as an external drive. You can then copy/paste whatever you like from the folders on the phone to your PC.

N81 8GB Phone memory is not available !!!

I am using N81 8GB. So far I know brand new N81 8GB has 16MB of free internal memory and somewhat 8GB of free external memory (where internal memory in the phone memory and external memory is the memory card.
Last three months it was asking me “Phone Memory” is out of space whereas I used only 2GB out of 8GB mass memory. I installed everything in Mass memories. Recently it was asking me , Phone memory is not available. I used “OVI suite” with cable and found 24MB already used 0(zero) space available. Then I deleted all programme, music, video and and others from “Mass memory” and formatted it. Even deleted everything except default program. Then I flashed the Mobile from OVI update suite. Version has changed but found 21MB is occupied out of 24MB. Now tell me what’s the solution to free the spaces?
I can’t receive more than 3 or 4 music (small) files via Bluetooth. It asks me to free the inbox space. So far I had total 10 text message (SMS) in inbox. Why it should ask me whereas I have enough memory( 6GB) in “Mass Memory” ?
Is there any solution?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

At last my N81 8GB Phone memory problem is solved by using the command
First Step: Format phone (R E S 0 ?)>>>
*#7370#
Second Step:    Factory Reset (R S T 0 ?)>>>
*#7780#
After contact address sync from OVI.com , Now Phone memory is
7.48MB used
16.9MB free
total = 24.4 MB
Usefull help for N95 and N81 codes:
*#06# ............ IMEI number (International Mobile Equipment Identity)
*#0000# ......... Firmware version and date, Phone Model and Operator Variant
*#92702689# ... Life timer (W A R 0 A N T Y) - Total time your phone has spent sending and receiving calls.
*#62209526# ... Wireless MAC Address (M A C _ W L A N)
*#2820# .......... Bluetooth MAC address (B T A 0?)
*#7370# .......... Format phone (R E S 0 ?)
*#7780# .......... Factory Reset (R S T 0 ?)
Thanks for your help that's why I found that code form online.

How to remove map from n95 8gb

i have no use for the map in my n95 8gb.its of no use to me and wanted to remove it.how to do it and if i remove it will it make any difference in the speed of my phone

Nokia Software Update.
It will wipe clean the phone and re-write it again. With everything the same as if it were bought new. If the firmware has been updated then you may get new added features and fixed known bugs or issues with the phone
P.s dont do it if you dont fully understand how. You can destroy the phone if done incorrectly.

Remove themes from N95 8GB

How do you remove unwanted themes on the N95 8GB internal memory???
I have tried via the Application manager and factory reset but it wont allow me.
Please help as it it driving me nuts.... LOL

If you mean the themes that came pre-installed on the phone then I don't think they can be removed (unless someone knows better).
I think you can only uninstall the themes that you have installed.

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.

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.

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

Nokia N95 8GB - Mail4Exchange: "System error.Try a...

Good morning. We currently have 3 Nokia N95 8GB within the company that use Mail for exchange 2.3. One of the handsets suddenly started to receive the above error on synchronising. The other 2 handsets are working perfectly and i have done a software upgrade on the handset causing problems and re-installed mail for exchange and done a full synch. But still i am receiving the same error message. Please can you assist as it is causing difficulty for our member of staff who has now lost this facility.

It sounds as if that staff members phone has become corrupt, has he/she installed any files recently that were not approved for use by Nokia?
The only sure way to cure this would be to do a hard reset on the phone and if possible format the 8GB internal memory.
You can back-up important data such as messages and contacts but if at all possible get rid of the other data as by restoring it later you will just re-install the problem.
Then do this
Try doing a hard reset by following the following steps
1: Back up important data such as contacts, messages etc
2: Turn off the phone
3: Hold down the star *, green phone and number (3) key
4: Turn the phone back on with these keys held in
5: Wait for the device to start up completely
Restore back-up and try phone again, if the problem is still noticeable take it to your nearest Nokia Repair Centre

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....
