i bought 512mb mmc 06.2004 and from few days i'cant format the mmc (because phone starts to have mistakes and rebooting all the time - i formated and upgraded the phone - no result - still the same... finally i tried formating the mmc and it took about 3sek (not 1 hour!) and i had massage that formating is done - but it was still full!!!!!(i tried 5 times - even after restart!)

i even tried to format throu the windows but there was error!

mmc already corrupted??

Lynman,

hi. you will need to verify the condition of your memory card via a memory card reader in a PC.

Check this article which covers the issue in more detail:

Have you changed the firmware in your SX1.? From memory, i know it used to take a long time formatting in the SX1, completing a sector by sector format of the card.

I suggest formatting your card to FAT16 via a card reader with your PC (as described at the end of the article above), and then re-try in your SX1. Hopefully that should sort you out.

Cheers

i tried formatig mmc throu sx1 and siemens Data suite (usb cable - in windows) - no result - "unknown error"!  Earlier i formated this mmc without problems but now i cant

how can i format it? is there any code for formating (like *#7307#) mmc?

Lynman,

You will need to connect your memory card to a PC so that you can check its condition.

Have you or a friend got a memory card reader (USB, or PCMCIA) to connect your memory card to your PC.?

That way, you can follow the link top the guide i sent in last response and run ChkDsk against the memory card filesystem. It sounds like you need to reformat from your PC.

Cheers

its formating

if something will be wrong - i'll write!

thx!!
