It worked for me 
Hi there,
This worked for me. Have used this on N95 and N97 mini. havnt had to do it for a while. The files may be in a different place on th N97 mini. You may have to search for them. It works for music and podcasts. If you cant do it, you could put the music back in and delete it again.
* Firstly, connect your phone to a PC via USB.
* Choose Data Transfer (a.k.a. Mass Storage). Do not select PC Suite because you won’t be able to browse protected folders in PC Suite mode.
* Open Windows Explorer on your PC.
* Go to \private\101FFC31 on the phone’s folder.
* There, you should be able to find the mpxv1.mpd (for MP3) and pcv5.mpd (for AUDIO PODCAST)
* Goto \private\101f8857\Cache
* Goto \private\101ffca9
* In all the 3 folders delete all the files Not the FOLDER
* Now refresh ur music library

  • 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.

  • E: Mass memory

    I had a problem with security code. Trying to find a solution and I found the following : ,,1-shutdown the phone 2-start the phone again after one second and keep push volume down + camara + home and wait for 5 second.the phone rest them self ...... thats all and good luck.'' I did it, then enter new code but the problem was not resolved. I had no maps and Nokia store after that and some games were not here. So I reinstalled Nokia Belle. Maps and Nokia store returned but games disappeared and Mass memory is 5.8 GB as it was with the games but in this case the games are gone and how memory can be the same as with the games ? And one more question I have memory in laptop even when I update Symbian ^ 3 with Anna and Can I get it back the backup on Belle in order security code get it back to default 12345 is it possible this to perform ?

    Hi akeovi,
    You  are better off formatting your memory card and re-downloading your games from Nokia Store. As some applications have not be optimised for Belle, they will not run and be recognised by the device (even though it is in your memory card). You can check the applications you have purchased or downloaded from your history in Nokia Store.
    Also, you might want to read the FAQ here and under "How to update to Nokia Belle".
    Hope this helps,

  • 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!

  • Mass Memory Not working In my Nokia 701 !!

    My mass memory is showing that it is in use even when it is not connected to any device or gadget !!
    It all happened when I formatted my Mass Memory via PC in mass storage mode !!
    Format was successful but when I ejected 701 from PC the Default file manager was still showing that the mass memory is in Use . 
    I tried everything from updating my software via Nokia Suite to re-booting my device a multiple times and also removed the battery many times  and also I Hard Reset my device many times  but to No avail .
    Nokia care says that they Don't know what went wrong so they can't help me !!
    What Should I Do now ?? 
    Information - 
    Model - Nokia 701
    Software Version - 112.010.1404 (Belle FP1)
    Computer OS: Windows 7 Ultimate

    Hi Blacklisted,
    Thanks for the feedback and welcome to the forum.
    While you may try a hard reset on your device it is likely you will have to visit a Nokia Care Point where the device firmware will have to be reinstalled. Follow the procedure below and if this will not resolve this for you you can find a Nokia Care Point using this link.
    If you have data on the 701 you wish to keep create a backup using Nokia Suite but when asked deselect the option to include settings in the backup. You can start a backup through Tools>Backup in the Nokia Suite menu.
    Now disconnect your 701 from the PC and select the offline profile, press the on/off switch and from the menu which appears select and activate the profile offline.
    Enter the code *#7370# followed by the security code 12345. Please be aware this reset may take a while. Your 701 will restart when finished.
    After the 701 restarts go through the Device First Use sequence to setup the 701 correctly.
    Now connect the 701 to your PC again and let Nokia Suite install the requires files on 701. After this (re)install the latest system update. When you go to the update screen in Nokia Suite your will either be presented by a system update or you can choose to re-install the current (up to date) version again.
    After the update verify if there are any additional updates and install these as well.
    After this you can restore the backup if you made one.
    Hope this helps, let us know how you get on.

  • X6 Mass Memory, Music Player all gone wrong

    Hi everyone,
    I know this problem has been mentioned before but I can't find a definitive answer to the problem.
    My X6 keeps freezing and going haywire when transfering music, it's ok for about the first 3gb then it just goes loco, everything beyond that point fails to transfer and when I try to update my music library it freezes up but then the problem just stays there untill I delete all the music from my phone.
    this is my second phone the first one did the same thing, I have tried formatting the mass memory and reseting it as advised by the Nokia customer support line but to no avail.
    it's a bit worrying as I have around 13gb of music to put on it, I know that seems alot but I did choose the X6 as an alternative to the i-phone, it is after all supposed to be for music.
    can anyone help or suggest an alternative phone I can swap it for?
    Thanks.

    This is probably a hardware fault and it seems that some are experiencing the same with their x6's.
    Since everything seems to be deleted you could try a hard reset (this will, when performed successfully, wipe your phone memory). Sometimes it can fix the weirdest things, but I'm pretty sure it won't. However, as the phone is now, I don't think you have anything to lose. Read the solution here in this thread for the hard reset ( the pst written by cjlim) : /t5/Xseries/I-need-to-make-a-Hard-Reset-for-my-x6/m-p/939789/highlight/true#M8914
    If that does not work, you will have to visit a Nokia care point unfortunately, and most likely you will have to. When the computer can't read the memory when connected or even discover the mass storage, that usually means severe troubles, at least if it has worked before (thinking of computer issues, not in your case though)

  • N96 Mass Memory corrupted -- Help!!

    Hello, the other day without any other trouble I discovered that my mass memory is corrupted.. I tried to make a picture and phone told me this.. I even tried to format memory, but unsuccessful as system says that is used by another application!.. Could anyone help?
    Thanks

    have you tried to restart the device and then try again to format the card?
    you can also put the card to a card reader on your pc, format it, and then put it back to the phone and format it again.
    a pc will format the card no matter what. you just have to reformat it after you put it on the phone.

  • 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..

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.

  • Mass memory Corupted

    My Nokia N81 8GB just started telling me that my Mass memory is corrupted. I have tried all means to get it back to work but failed. It wont format normally, is there Any way I can format my phone to save my memory.

    if you want to format you may not be able to keep your stuff unless you made a back up of it recently. the first code will keep your stuff intact, the other two will erase and clean off everything you have on the phone.
    *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
    Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list.
    *#7370# - Reformat your phone
    This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working. Turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
    re-flash - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen.
    If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service.

  • N97 Firmware update - E: Mass memory 100% full -- ...

    Help!!!
    I just did an firmware update on my N97 to v11.2.021 and when the phone restarted I got a message that E:\ (mass memory) is completely FULL.
    And my F:\ (a 1GB memory card) shows corrupted. **bleep**!?? I'm glad I didn't store anythign important there.
    I looked up via the File manager and sure enough, the E:\ (mass memory) show 0 MB free. I opened it up.. but I can't quite tell what's takign up all the space.
    I see a few weirdly named/weirdo character filenames.
    Can somebody please help?!! Is there a way to roll off the update?!

    Okay.. here's what I've done. The phone was working alright after the update (maybe just a tad slower) and I didn't notice any other issues except for E:\ filling up.
    After a while.. when I'd use File Manager in the phone to browse to E:\.. I got a (memory corrupted) message. So my E:\ was pretty much done/gone.
    So I did the hard reset *#0730# and then from the File Manager.. did a 'Format Memory' on E:\ and this cleaned E:\ up. 
    BUT... all my pre-loaded US map data is now gone. The lady at the Nokia Flagship store had told me the N97 came with pre-loaded US maps. They're all gone now.. oh well. 
    But i'm still effin annoyed that the update didn't work though.. so Nokia still gets a thumbs-down in this department.

  • N86 E: Mass memory corrupted - how to recover?"

    Hi,
    I'm using a N86 8MP which is less than 5 months old. Recently, I have lost all my music files and all the crucial photo images which I have taken between Jan till now and I have not done a backup yet. Somehow this occurs after I have switched the Singapore SIM Card to a China Prepaid Card. Could it be the cause of data losses? Also, not sure if the missing data has anything to do with the corrupted E:Mass Memory which I have just discovered yesterday.. Any ideas/advise?
    And, may I know, how can I recover the corrupted E:Mass Memory from my Nokia N86 8MP phone?
    Please help. Thanks!

    Thanks for the suggestion, Barney-15E. FYI I am not running both iCal and Calendar. Just Calendar. Me bad for using the old name and new name interchangeably.
    Tackling the iMac problem: In iCloud network preferences, I unchecked Safari then soon after rechecked it, and your suggestion appears to have worked: a bookmark recently added on one of the other devices appeared in the iMac Safari bookmarks. So far so good.
    Did the same thing with contacts. The iMac took a couple of hours to restore the sync setting, but it finally completed the task. The computer was laboring so I rebooted. Then I opened the contacts application and saw the spinning grey bars next to the "iCloud" heading above my list of contact groups. Some time later the spinning lines were replaced by an exclamation point. I clicked on it and got the message that the operation could not be completed because of a "CoreDAVErrorDomain error 1..". Subsequently, after much spinning of the line wheel, I have gotten either the exclamation point with the CoreDAV message or a lightning bolt icon. Whether exclamation point or lightning bolt, clicking on it provokes a long period of the spinning line wheel. And looking at some telltale contact discrepancies between the iMac and the other machines, nothing seems to have changed in terms of merging the discrepancies.
    Searching for the error message in the support community, I see this has happened to others, and they have had some success in following a list of steps starting with archiving the contacts, which I have done. Don't think I fully follow the other steps, nor am I sure they apply to my situation.
