media card is secured by another device
- OK! I have a huge headache now...I upgraded to the new OS for my bold 9700. The first problem I had was that sms was giving me an error meesage of "uncaught exception" so I had to do a wipe...BUT when I restored all my stuff my thrid party apps are no longer installed and my camera/video camera won't work...I get an error message that says "media card secured by another device". I have so much info on my media card and it shows up as still on it but I can't see my pics, videos or apps????
How do I get my card to work again? if I back it up and format the card can I move the pics ect back to the card?
and how the heck do I get all my apps back? I went to my app world to reinstall some but not all fit on the history so how do I get those back?
any help would be much appreciated...I've never had any of these problems before.
Thanks so much

- Make a folder on your computer and move all your files from your media card to that folder. Then reformat your card and put what you want back onto the card.06-14-10 02:48 PMLike 0

I downgraded to the last OS system and it still says that its secured by another device even though I turned off encryption. I can see all my folders, and apps and the pics and videos I can see the names but the not actual pics? How do I get rid of the REM file extension?06-14-10 07:50 PMLike 0 -

Linux: Right click, rename. Remove the .REM and click outside the filename or hit enter. Done.
Windows, go into Tools -> Folder Options, uncheck the settings that say Hide known file name extensions and click OK. Now rename the file, remove the extension, done.

To the OP, were the files encrypted on a different device?06-15-10 05:28 AMLike 0 - If the device the OP had before was swapped out, for one, I think the encryption is locked to the PIN. Changing devices makes all data not available and it can't be decrypted.
Never use encryption on an SD card. If your device is ever damaged, you'll loose access to that data, whichever it is, on the card.
I hope the OP has the old device.

- If encryption is the culprit, I would say that it 'worked' the way it was supposed to. Unfortunately, it did not work the way you expected.06-18-10 11:42 AMLike 0
- Okay, My stupid as* friend entered my device password 10 times as a joke and my bb was wiped out. All my files as will as SD card was encrypted (Device Password + Device Key).
The good thing is that I Had made a full backup the day before, but when I restored the device through backup, I get SD card is secured by another device.
is there a solution here, I'm using the same device same password.
is there a solution here, I have more than 700 pics & video's
what shall i do guys08-15-10 08:46 PMLike 0 -
But let me ask you, would the device key randomly change after the wipe-out happened, would this be the issue. shouldn't the device key remain the same.
thanks in advance for your first response.08-15-10 10:06 PMLike 0 - It may be trim to call your carrier and have them put you in touch with Rim. It seems that the same device with the same password should not lock you out but that is my opinion. It may not work that way.08-16-10 08:33 AMLike 0
- I would agree with you if I'm using a new device, but what is making me go crazy is that its the same device, SD card never removed.
