Hi.

I have the same problem, and I send it for 3 times at Nokia care.

First time: 2 days, simply reflashed (I can do it at my home). Time to corrupted again: 3 hours.

Second time: one week, somethink like "repaired bad isolate contact" (sound like, simply reflashed). Time to corrupted again: 2 hours.

Third time: one week, the Care say "this phone have the memory corrupted, and warranty not availabe. 80 Eur or go home". I say, I know is corrupted, is this the problem, the phone corrupt the memory. Finally I don't like pay and I have the phone at home.

Now is working fine 3 days, but again corrupt the memory.

Reestart and go fine, open calendar and add a new event, select "all day" and crash. The memory change to "readonly" or "memory corrupted", because sometimes not corrupted, but yes readonly.

It's fantastic.

Sorry for my bad english.

Well i do not think that the memory itself is corrupt, it is FAT file system that is a fault in itself in 21st century.
Please describe your usage pattern for getting your stuff on the phone, like which OS, File manager and things.
Did you actually try to repair the filesystem with 'fsck -r'?
If you get your stuff from the internal mmc, you could reformat the mmc via Hildon File Manager or via X-Terminal.

Note: If that is failing [check with the above fsck code] there is no way back but to rewrite the image your before took, or to knowingly wipe the partition and format it.
I had the same "Cluster size is zero." error several minutes ago (and a small heart attack) and I write just to inform you your upper code has worked on my Device. Thanks a lot!

Unless michaaaa62 has a better idea, I would try now

Code:
mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1
this should wipe out everything that was in the 27gb part of your phone and make it work |:/

You could try other tools to try to recover the files that were on that, but you looked like they didn't matter after all...

and then, just like michaaa62 said:



AMAZING. This is the only thread on the internet that makes any sense on this topic, and I just managed to fix my phone with exactly the same problem - just wanted to say thanks. Genius.

sudo gainroot
sfdisk -l
If you have questions regarding the output, feel free to ask, but attach or copy'n'paste the full output of all commands.

hi..the last commmand sfdisk -l is not working

Please copy/paste the output - or at least give some more info than "...is not working".

The right command *is* sfdisk...


EDIT: I reckon it's because you're not the root user. Is your prompt a '#' or a '$' when you enter it?
