In need of help

Hi,
Using Clean and Simple for quite a while now.
Not sure what happened, but my storage card keeps getting renamed to 2, and a new one with one folder appears and doesn't let anything on the storage card open.
I've tried deleting, and it keeps coming back. Tried renaming, it makes another.
How do I correct this?
Thank you for any and all help!

That's a nasty bug, happend to me once and I ended up just doing a hard reset. I remember trying everything including searching the registry for "Storage Card2" and renaming to "Storage Card"

... you may have some luck trying the fixes here:

if you have any pop emails accounts setup, do you have the option to "store attachments on storage card" turned on? if so, turning that option off should correct that problem.

No luck. Not going to try that registry fix, looks scary.
Did change the store attach, no go.
Dreading hard reset!

No need for hard reset. Take out storage card, delete the storage card that is still showing in file explorer. Reinsert your storage card. This error happens if you have attachments saved to storage card or something that needs storage card on boot up. If the phone doesnt see the storage card, it will create another and rename your storage card when it wakes up to storage card 2.

I have also noticed that this problem is more prevalent if you have the extended rom 2 unlocked. The registry edit is pretty simple.

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ TRUEFFS_DOC1 in the registry

"MountHidden"=dword:00000000

change the Dword to 1

Then navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\ TRUEFFS_DOC1

"Bootphase"=dword:00000002

I still experienced the issue after this, but much less frequently. It is a pain to continually delete the virtual storage card in file explorer.

Change the dword to 0

Did the registry change, it's not seeing the real card, and creating another fake one! eeeeek

Okay, so I hard reset and reinstalled from a today backup. All went well, till I soft reset, then another storage card! So thanks, Naigaboy, I took the card out, deleted the other and now it's back.
Hopefully it will last past another soft reset!
Gonna redo that registry edit thing too, just in case.
Thank you for the help, this is a pain in the a**!!!

Well, again, no such luck! Soft reset, problem back. Guess it's hard reset time no matter what!

Is Extended Rom2 visible on your phone? Use Total Commander or something similar to look. If it is, the registry change I described to hide the Extended Rom should help. If it is not visible, then the registry change should not be necessary.

Are you storing IE cache to the storage card? If you are, this could also exacerbate the problem (it can also cause freezes). You might consider storing your IE cache on your device.
