    Clear All Data, now wants authentication after storage set

    I did a "clear all data" and then changed the storage back to "storage" from "microSD". When I rebooted the unit it come to an authentication screen and on the top of the screen show "Job List". If I press the home button the only icon that is not blacked out is the "Utility" icon. I am thinking that this maybe a software switch and help would be greatly appreciated. I have never had a "clear all data" do this.

          Sorry, it is a C300i series and I have done a format of the microSD and the "storage". If I make the "Storage" "microSD" and reboot like it say. Then I get an error code D073, which means that the storage is set wrong.

              That's correct.

                  Sorry, placed the unit on the back burner and have some time to look at it again. I have done all the steps as posted and will try again but the system still comes up with the same issue? I am wondering if it could be a software switch that is creating the issue. It is like the unit is wanting to log into a server for authentication.

                    Have any of you actually fitted the microSD & removed the storage board ? As the price of a microSD is peanuts & possibly more reliable.
