Another interesting thing about C: and Z:

esterday I was exploring my n-gage symbian capabilities. When, I found that apps on C: are executed primarily than Z: (rom). I found this, copying the menu app from n-gage QD Z:\system\apps (QD has newer symbian OS than classical) to my n-gage classical C:\system\apps. I rebooted my n-gage and after booting again, what I found? when pressing the menu key -> System Error.
This was a test that gave me some conclusions. After that, I did *#7370# for full C: format. But guess what? the C:\system\apps\menu folder after formating is still there!! 😡 I tried the *#7780# too, but the menu app is still there! So.. I cant exec none of my apps without menu!

Please help me. How do I delete the menu app?

NOTE: I formated my n-gage some time ago, using *#7370#. All worked fine. But I cant remember what happened after the NOKIA logo. After the phone requesting for the date-time, shows up a progress bar??
Now I would like if my n-gage is formating good. At least, it looks like yes. After formating the phone gets with the default look. But the menu doesn work!!

TIP: I think copying the whole Z:\system from QD to C:\ classical n-gage, will put classical n-gage with newer symbian version. I would tried that if not this stupid thing happened! :frown:

Wow! Hey guy!
I don't think after hard formatting that file in c: still there. I think not gonna be happened.
another one, i think your Z -> C idea is also not gonna be like what you think. I think Not!! And If you succeed with that, don't 4get 2 tell me. Bravo!!

🙄 I can assure you that after the hard formating the file is still there!! At least it looks like. Or just maybe the format is not working well.
About the other thing. Yeah! I dont believe in updating the firmware in that way too. :tongue: But the truth is that copying the menu from Z: to the C: in the same location, the symbian runs the C: menu. So maybe it will work to other system apps.

Now im just hopping that the firmware update and repair on NOKIA Center will cost nothing.. hehe
