I don't know about the .ea file, but have you tried chkdsk /F after 
mounting the volume?  That fixed ea problems on my camera's flash card 
after I did the same thing with PMView.  Also there should be an option to 
just format the media card as opposed to reformatting the phone.  That 
should just blank out the files on the card.  In my limited experience with 
phones, they don't save phone settings on the media cards but instead in 
internal memory.
