Hi,
I seem to have some weird things going on with my SD-card.
First everything worked fine, but then suddenly all my files seemed to have disappeared.
When I took a look in my "memory" (start, settings, system, memory) there was no change
in memory-usage (still there was 1360 Mb in use and 566 Mb of free memory.)
In "File Explorer" no files were to be seen at all...
When I took out my SD-card an put it into a USB-card reader, my pc showed only a file called EncFiltLog.menc
So I can't copy the files to my pc as well...
I'm using this card for over 8 months now without any problems untill this...
My encryption function in my Jasjar is turned off, I've never had it turned on actually...
The first weird thing I noticed was the question whether I'd like my jasjar to search the card for music files, while I always had this card in my PDA. I never had this question before. The EncFiltLog. menc is created just before I discovered my files disappeared.
(We were just trying to play some music, but the storage card was nowhere to be seen in my media player, so I took the SD card out and put it back in)
The reason why I didn't pay attention to that question and answered "no" was that my old Qtek S100 also does it all the time without giving me any problems at all and this Jasjar already had the files on my card in his library...
After that my files seem to have gone...
Does anyone has a solution for this?
For me, there are some really valuable items on the card which I rather not loose.
(I know I should make back-ups, but these files were too recent to make one...)
Thanks in advance,
JT
Same problem
As of yesterday, I have the EXACT same problem as described above. I could use some of the famous XDA wisdom...please.
What Roms are you two using? And SD Storage settings?
Same problem
Samsung SCH-I760
Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
CE OS 5.2.19202 (Build 19202.1.0.0)
ARM920T S3C2442 Processor
SanDisk 2GB Micro SD
File Encryption is turned off (unchecked)
The SD card has functioned perfectly for almost a year. Yesterday I noticed that about half of the folders stored on the card had disappeared. Of course, I have tried reinserting the card, soft resetting the device, restoring the device to an earier date, etc...no luck.
The card shows 1.8 GB of memory "in use." However, only about 500 MB of that information is accessible or even visible. When I insert the card into my desktop computer, the mysterious "EncFiltLog.menc" appears.
Also note that flashed the 6.1 ROM upgrade to my device a few weeks ago. Since that time, I have installed/uninstalled several programs and reset the device numerous times. All data on the card was accessible until this week.
The menc file is dated 08/03/2008. The only software change that I recall performing around this date was enabling the "Scheduled Backup" feature on Spb Backup.
Your help is appreciated.
Eten M800
Windows 6.1
same problem here. it appears out of nowhere and after googling, i found out that it's because of windows 6.1 encryption thing. problem is, i dont have the box ticked at all. and whenever a menc file gets created, my phone will ask me if i want to format the card to make it readable and cant scanned the card. after deleting the EncFiltLog only the SDMMC will appear again
any solution with this problem?
For as far as I know: nope
nothing....
I have discovered the same problem with my Samsung Omnia i900. Any soultions yet to the EncFiltLog.menc problem?
EncFiltLog.menc

There appears to be two scenario's here, and none of them you are going to like.
If some of your files appear with .menc extension (and all your files are there), this means they have been encrypted by WM6. The only way to recover them is with the original device that wrote them.
Please note the following:
if you hard-reset or flash your device you will lose your original code, and all files will become unreadable.
there is no way (as of yet) to find out the encryption code, or back it up
If you only have EncFiltLog.menc file on your SD card, and all your other files are missing, it is extremely likely that you have had file corruption on your SD card and your files have been erased.
Please note the following:
EncFiltLog.menc is a red-herring, it usually exists on all SD cards (a system file, even if you're not using encryption)
You may find a good program to recover your lost files. Do this soon, and don't use the SD card before doing this.
I wouldn't rely on this SD card in the future for anything important.
I hope this helps. NB, I have found some good recovery programs for jpeg files if you're interested. Sorry to be bearer of bad news.
*** Always back up your files to your PC using ActiveSync... frequently ***
(if you have encoded your files, then you MUST use ActiveSync)
Thanks for the update.
This problem mostly happens if you flash your device with sd card inserted.
Try to go back to the prevous rom and I think the content of your sd card will be available again.
Actually, its a new card and all I did was insert it into the phone, then into my computer. I didn't flash anything.
lost a important video of my dead child (menc encoded)
My 8 years girl is dead 6 months ago from leucemia after a 6 years battle. We found our brother in law as now a menc video on is phone. It is one of very few video we have from her where we could ear her talk, so this is important for my wife se could recover it to be able to help her pass with the death.
Since this brother in law did not know how to see the file before talking to us he tried to reset the phone. The file is on his sd card and today we went to telus to transfer the menc files on my pc but the young technician to the sales departement did not know how to read the file. He tried with the vlc but the menc files cannot be read with vlc. And the phone cannot read the file any more. I have a copy of the file. Do you know how to debug this kind of file

I'm sorry to hear that.
Put the video in the same device where it was encoded and transfer to the PC using ActiveSync.
Please note, this video cannot be decoded on other device!
hi this happened to me today also.
tried to watch my pictures and saw anything ... zero.
Just my pictures are away... music and other files are there.
Than i notice that i have a new file on my card 3.4.2009 6:56h on this time that i used this.
How can i get this jpg pictures back ? i have some in the cache, but in the pcm (what the hell is that!!!!!??) file.
Its possible to transform a pcm to a JPEG ?
need help thanks for answer
may be unknown virus
I am sure there is a virus in your system. i had also same problem but there was a 'new folder'(created every time i formatted my memory card) with the same named file.Tried antivirus but could not clean system.i used another computer and problem solved.
Everything deleted except the EncFiltLog.menc file
k, today I also got me. The complete SD-Card was erased, only the fuggin EncFiltLog.menc remained, giggling at its devious work.
I'm using a Loox N560 with newplowe's WM 6.1 20755 ver.063.07 ROM, encryption unchecked form the beginning.
The SD-Card was working fine all the time, until I put into the cardreader of my laptop (I've done that a millions times before with that SD-Card and that ROM). Unfortunately I couldn't recover any files form the SD-Card. Music, navigation software can be restored, but my older backups as well as my *.cab collection is gone.

I know this is a little old thread but I am new here
I just got my 1st windows mobile phone ever the Touch Pro 2. I have had an 8 gig card in my old phone working for a year no problems. I had pictures and video and a bunch of music. I stuck the card in my new phone and didn't think it recognized the card at all. Me being new to all this windows mobile didn't know to go to file explorer and arrow down to memory card so I took the card out out everything on my work computer and was going to try to format the card in the phone. Somehow I put everything back on my card came home and went to put everything on my desktop and I was going to format the card from my pc and that is when I noticed everything was gone on my card also. I had the one file and nothing else.
I didn't have much important stuff on mine but a couple pictures and a video which I can reget but it still upsets me I lost a whole folder of pictures that I don't know if I have on my pc or not. So I formatted the card in my PC and started over. I now have some music a picture and one video as a test. I notice that file is still there is it suppose to be there? The menc or whatever it is. I hope i don't lose my stuff again but I guess I'll back it up this time. The music is always on my pc so I don't care about that but the pics and video mattered.
Wrong section
Welcome to forums
Universal does not means all devices, have a look on Rhodium section for your specific device.
Good luck,
p.s. Great device you have
Oh so did I post in the wrong forum sorry! I was just reading some of the threads and saw abouth the sd card and that is what mine did. But anyway I am new here and will check it out more later when I have time. My 1st smart phone windows mobile ever but so far am loving my Touch Pro 2 the Rhodium is the diamond isn't it? But anway thanks for the reply. Rose

Hey All-
I thought the issue with SD card would have been fixed with the T-mobile WM2003 ROM update (4.01.16). Although I am not sure if that is what did it. I did not have the problem until I updated ActiveSync (v3.7.1 - Build 4034) when it came out about a week ago. I have an ActiveSync backup file (backup.stg) from BEFORE I upgraded all of this (a different partnership as well). Is there a way to extract the data from that file to restore my SD card?
Many Thanks
Out of curiosity, what brand of SD card are you using? I'm using a Kingston 512 mB but have read on a few forums problems with the Kingston loosing content in the XDA II. I have not experienced the problem.
Ed
No this problem still persists, I've used a PNY,Sandisk & Panasonic SD card in my XDA I running WM2003 4.01.16 and it blows them all away. I've tried everything and all the ROM from's YORCH'S Kitchen. They obviously only tested the XDA ROM'[email protected] T-Mobile without any SD memory attached at all, and couldn't have cared for customer feedback. However, saying that it's suprising the amount of PDA users I know, whom don't have additional memory attached. I hope there's a resolution soon, in which ever form, upgrade, reg-keys anything to stop this annoyance.
Cheers.
I am using a San Disk 128Mb card. Any info on how to get into that Backup.stg file? Thanks
Yes, I do believe it is a bug that most bug testers missed to point out with the WM2003 4.01.16. I've encountered the same problem and lost all the files saved on my SD card (San Disk SD Card). The sad part about this bug is that your lost files are unrecoverable!

Hey scottychef, for that just go do the following on your PC:
First you need to go to "My Computer" in flile explorer then you select Tools menu and then "Fonder Options" and under the "View" tab check "Show Hidden Files and Folders" and then find the following folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\"YourUserName"\Application Data\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Profiles\"YourOldProfile"
And copy the .bak file into your current profile directory.

Some people came to the conclusion that the sd card erasure was something to do with the Today configuration and that when they chose the default screen etc the problem went away.
After going around the bend with my SD Card being erased/corrupted on nearly daily basis, and being fortunate enough to have friends with both XDA I’s & II’s running both PPC 2002 & 2003 I thought I’d set out and scour the registry to see if anything was missing that could be causing the problem, and I instantly noticed a one thing. On my version of 2003 (4.01.16 T-mobile) there is no key referring to FAT file system for the SD Card, which both the XDA I (PPC 2002-O2) & XDA II (PPC 2003-O2) have.
Also the FATFS.DLL which exists under the \Windows folder (Hidden of course) on both PPC2002(O2) & PPC2003(O2) is not present on the T-Mobile (4.01.16) ROM, However there is a FATFSD.DLL referenced in \HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS but not linked to the Storage Card
So I've simply made substitute keys from the ones missing.
Since I’ve entered the following Keys, I’ve nearly gone a week without a single hiccup. Now it may be too early to tell, but if a few of you guys with this problem should try it and it works for you, then problem solved.
Here’s what to do.
Install the PMH Registry Editor (freeware) to your XDA then navigate to
\\HKLM\Drivers\PCMCIA\SDCard
Add the following REG_SZ key:
Value name: FSD
Value data: FATFSD.DLL
Also, I’m not quite sure if the next key adds any performance/stability but was present on the XDA II and not the XDA I, but I added it anyway
Add the following REG_DWORD key:
Value name: BlockTransferSize
Value data: 64
Could be a combination of either key or one or the other, or neither, but I haven’t the time to try each permutation. Or maybe I've just been lucky this week and It'll get wiped over the weekend, I'll keep you posted.
Now reset the device and good luck, plus please post your findings as I could be barking completely up the wrong tree!!
It happened to me also!! I've bought a new MMC card, 256 MB,, and 3 days ago, I woke up & found my card wiped out!
I've used a software called Easy Recovery Pro, and I've recovered all my lost file on the card
I used a digital camera to create a new drive ( I: ) for the card, so that I can recover the files!! Is there any other mean to map the MMC or SD card to a drive??
anyway, I just read some notes on this forum, and I've found that its a bug in windows 2003, but to solve the problem, always format your card using FAT32, and before formating it, just switch the today screen to DEFAULT, then format, and after the format completes just put your favourite theme :? (you could say its crap, but beleive me, it worked, am using my card now without any problems no more)
Micro$oft is weird
I'm bumping this. Is it still working, spadb? Did anyone else try this procedure?

Well maybe, but i don't think so, becuase when my MMC was wiped, I noticed that Windows has changed the file system to FAT32, although it was FAT16 before!!
So all what I think is that Windows needs the storage card to be formatted as FAT32 and not anything else!
I did formatted my MMC using FAT32, and now its working so fine, no wippings no data loss, it works like a charm
Am still using my MMC card without fear of getting wipped!
spadb thats a interesting fix, you might also wants to label your card (
as in reformat and then give it a name, that solved it for me and its been
months since my last erase).
HTH
Got the same problem
I tried most of the T mobile Roms they have the same bug which is painfull to restore data to the Storage :S and relocate the shortcuts..anyway if u just wanna try how this could be deleted try to pull off the sd out then put it in do it several times it will be wiped I tried that on purpose with the newest Tmobile rom and today wiped again by itself with an old Tmobile Rom 4.01.00 and the SD is on the FAT32. I just can't tell what should we do in this case nor the Tmobile wm2003 are good neither the ATT with the sound clipping, If there's some1 could get us the best Rom ever tested or a way to fix all this bug we'd appreciate the help.. P.S my SD is 256M.B
GOD DAMN IT!!!!!!! My 256 MMC card got wipped again!!!!! :twisted:
I hate this!!!!! I hate it I hate it I hate it
I wanna know if the SD card registry solution posted by "spadb" works with MMC cards as well!
I will recover my files & format the card again..
I hope this time it won't be wipped again!
by the way, is there any software which can map the SD / MMC card to a logical drive under windows, while the device is on the cradle (without using card readers)?
I'm getting this problem too. I've had my XDA II for less than a week and its wiped my SD card twice. Looking around other pocketpc forums on the web it appears that other people are experiencing this too. I wonder if this is a bug in the latest Windows Mobile 2003 update?
I've tried using the repair option in an evaluation copy of storage tools and it appears to be able to restore the data. It's almost as if the FAT is getting corrupted including the backup FAT.
I'm using FAT32 for the filesystem. I know my SD card is ok because it has worked 100% on my Orange SPV phone previously.
Going to phone O2 tomorrow because this is getting beyond a joke.
Cheers,
Richard.
name ur SD card storage or somthing and make it fat 32 ive never had a sd erase yet (touch wood) that was using a sandisk 256mb card, soon to get a simpletech 256mb (speedy )
What tool can I use to label the SD card? Storage tools doesn't appear to have that option.

For all of you guys who lost their data from their SD cards, you can ALWAYS get your data back using any SD Card Reader or Digital Camera.
Just put your SD card in the card reader or the cam & run any file recovery software on the removable disk which appears whenever you connect the card reader / cam to your PC, and you will restore all of your files.
I've restored all of my files using this simple way of recovery. 8)
Hey Everybody!
Just wondering...is there any util/way/prog. or something to undelete deleted data from XDAII memory?!
I just moved some data to my SD card, which wasn't formated. So Resco explorer asked me if i Would like to format my Card? I choosed no, and nothing happend. But data was erased from first location anyway...damn.
And now, maybe the silly question, how to unerase my data?! :? :? :?
Keep up the good work!!!
Dejan, Slovenia
So, i presume, that unerase procedure on the XDAII internal memory cannot be done, what about with SD Cards!?
AnyBody?
Cheers!
i very much doubt there is such a thing
difference is that harddisks dont delete files their ref's are just removed
and even if the file have been removed the magnetic sectors tendency to be polarised like it have been most of the time or resently makes it possible to undelete even files from before a lowlevel format
flash most of the time dont have the size factor that the hd's have so deleted files's sectors are overwriten pretty soon after the file is deleted
i doubt that there are tools to do this even if possible to undelete files before the sectors were overwriten
since i dont see many people seing flash as a predictable enough media to have backups on for long
well try this link
http://tucows.enta.net/preview/354626.html
Its called Hany recovery 1.0
install it on the pc and then go via the pc to your ppc and undelete, worked for me
I downloaded HandyRecovery, but i can only select floppy, and local disks. Please do tell, Mate, How did you select a 'mobile device' to search throu?! :roll:
All the best!

I took the sd card out of the phone and used a usb card reader, that worked wonders for me... havent found a way to use it direct on the phone yet though.
Hey when i first upgraded to WM6 everything went smooth and the time was am pm.. now its 24 hours and i dont know how to change it back.. i was reading it somewhere but i forgot where i read it and there are to much keywords for the search so how do u change the time..? o and also when i try syncing with my Windows media player and my Storage Card(as it says on WMP) it syncs about 11 songs from like 300 that im putting in and then just stops the number varies as it when it stops but it never seems to finish.. its a 2 GB card that i got for free from a friend, maybe its cheap? i dont know, any1 else having this problem?

thx a bunch man
I had several 2GB miniSD cards, and they where all broken once to much data (more than 1GB) is stored on it. Now I just made two partitions on it (using WMStorage) and now my card still works after several months and with a lot of data.
The broken cards weren't cheap once (SanDisk), luckily I got 5 years waranty.
So my advice to anyone using large miniSD cards with this phone: make 2 partitions of 1GB on it...
search this forum for a full explanation on partitioning your card using WM5Storage
yea i think mine is broken because every time i put it in my phone it recognizes that the card is in and tells me if i want to format. i do and it says it did so successfully but it doesnt show up on my phone ..
You're better off either formatting it on your computer if you have a card reader. Also, only partition your card with WM5Storage if you continue to have problems loading more than a gig of data on a 2 gig card. Once you partition it that way, it's permanent and you can't unpartition it if you would want to in the future. I would try just formatting the card in FAT32 first and seeing if you still have problems adding data.
By the way, why do you sync music over to the card? All you have to do is copy it to the card using activesync explore. That should be way easier.
what do u mean? its the same thing. but loading it through Windows media player makes album art and everything appear on the phone so i like it =]
If album art is important to you, then by all means keep doing it that way. It doesn't seem to be working that well for you so I was just trying to help. I would still suggest trying to reformat the card in FAT32 first over partitioning the card out, but that's up to you. Another option would be a program called storagetools. You can get it here - http://www.softwinter.com/storagetools.html, and it's free for non commercial use and there a people on here that swear it's fixed problems like yours for them.
thx man its okay, i tried it today and i included the art and it came out.. so thx its much quicker too. Thx for the help guys =]
Hello i Have a (HTC clone NT901??). I had to do a Hard reset, and after that i can't access the storage card. I have included some pictures.
As you can see SKtools detect the card, but not Windows 6.1.
I have tried other Sd cards with no results.
Note that i did not have any SD-card in my phone when the picture with expansion slot "Not in use" was taken.
Maybe someone has a bright idea what the problem might be.
Forgive my english, i'm Swedish.
I'm sorry if this is not the right forum for this ,but i don't know where else i would put it.
regards/MickeF
Edit: I have included my registryfile if someone could look through it.
*SOLVED* Bad soldering in SD-SLOT. Now the card work like a charm.
Check if the pins in the card reader are making contact with the SD card. I had the exact same problem with an iPAQ 210. I couldn't find any way to fix it, not hard resets or anything. Eventually the problem went away on its own(after a month or so). Hope yours eventually starts to work, sorry I couldn't be more help.
DisMountSdcard.exe???
I have looked in the windows directory an found a file called DisMountSdcard.exe
What is that? I have googled it but it did not find any answers. Someone?
I have looked in the registry to find if the exe loads but it don't.
It can't be deleted and says it is writeprotected.
Does the card work in another mobile or PC?
Might there be a problem with the partition or filesystem?
In windows desktop version hard drives are sometimes visible by programs but not windows. That suggest that the filesystem is currupt. Not shure how this works with flashcards and winmo.
Yes it works flawless in another original HTC phone and desktop computer.
Can somebody explain too me how it's possible for SKTools to see the card (only in SD information though), but not by WM 6.1.
I think it's the drivers ieg sdbus.dll or sdhc.dll, sdmemory.dll but i have tried to exchange them to others without results.
No one who can help me???
check the SD is well in other Mobile Phones,if well,just use some tool to format it?Really OK?I don`t have any idea,just try
New pictures
I have now tested my card in my son's Touch Viva (yes it works there) and i have attached the picture in SKtools. You can compare and maybe advice me what to do.
The first picture is with card in Viva, and second from card in my phone.
Dead forum??
Seems that no one is interested in this.
I just ran out of ideas.
If the card works in other computers or phones the card is ok.
If your phone can´t read ANY cards then the problem is your phone.
The next step is to find out if its a hardware or software problem.
It would be good to back up your phone and do a reinstall with a known good ROM. If that fails, then there is something wrong with your hardware. Have you tried cleaning the card slot?
I have cleaned the slot. One thing i don't understand is that SKtools detects the card in SD information as you can see here. If it was a hardware fault it wouldn't be detected att all.
[SD information]
Bus driver version 5.2
Slot 0
Host index 0,slot index 0
Inserted card Memory Card
Card type SD Memory
Interface mode 4 bit(s),Clock rate 25000000
have attached photo on the bad soldering at the sd-slot.
So are you 100% sure that´s the issue (ie. the soldering). If so, great news.
Well after i resolded the microsmall contacts it's working perfectly again. No problems att all with my 4gb SD-card.
Annoying though,but if you buy a chinese mobile maybe you can expect this.
Otherwise i love the phone. It has all the features i want and more, and is nice looking. Internal GPS,WIFI,3,2MP Camera etc.
As the title says...
for some reason my p3110 has stopped seeing photos and mp3s on the physical sd card...

About 6 months after I bought mine GT-P3113, it stopped reading the SD card (PNY) for no apparent reason, not just photos or music, any files. I could still read the card on my PC (Windows Vista). I backed up the files and reformatted the SD card (32 GB). The Tab 2.0 would not read that card even after reformatting. I copied the files to a new disk (Sandisk), and haven't had problems in over two years. I never modified the Stock ROM however. I recall reading complaints of spontaneous SD cards problems with Samsung products. My wife has a Galaxy Tab 3, and I have had a Galaxy S3 phone for around 2 years without any SD card problems. What I did learn from the experience was to back up the Tablet/Phone periodically. I do so about every month.
The only thing I can think of for the music and photos problem is that the apps need to "refresh" somehow.

I ALWAYS do back ups..All of my devices auto back up twice a week..
I agree with the refresh issue... But seem's no way to do it...Tried a few appsa on market but none work.

I found this solution. Practical if it is discovering a new directory, not if you need to do it for every new file.
How to refresh the gallery in Android
Posted on December 22, 2012
I was facing a problem on my Samsung Galaxy S2 where the gallery was not showing the photos that were present in a certain folder. While trying to share some pics on Whatsapp I realized if Gallery cannot see them, you cannot share them. Well now I had to figure out what can be done.
While searching the net I found out the following steps to work properly for me.
Go to settings – apps – gallery
Clear cache, clear data, force close
Go to settings – apps – media storage
Clear cache, clear data, force close
Hard reset (cold boot) this will not delete any data
Next time you open Gallery it may not contain anything, but give it a minute while the system is still scanning the device & you will find that only the folders you want to be visible, are visible.
This has been quoted directly from this site
Props to janner43 for his solution / trick.
If you are not comfortable (or do not understand the steps) you might want to consult someone who knows more about Android or the reseller from whom you got your phone. I am not responsible in anyway if your device starts acting weird. Use at your own risk.
I have had problems with photos too. I discovered that if I create new folders on the sdcard and copy the photos into the new folders I can see them. I know that it seems too easy but it has worked for me several times.
