Hey guys, I need some help please.
I just got back from vacation and took a billion pictures with my Tmobile MDA and stored them all on my 1gb storage card. For some reason, I can't get these onto my computer. I've tried adding the folder to the files sync list with active sync, but I cannot choose any folder on my mobile device, let alone the storage card.
I also tried just exploring my device, which seemed like it was going to work. Once I got to the picture files in the storage card, I selected them all and copied them to the PC. It went through the motions of copying, progress bars, etc, but when it is finished, no pics on the pc! i dont even get it!
If anyone could offer up some help I'd really appreciate it, thanks.
Since i did my rom i can not sync pictures from pc to PPC and back, so i think it is something to do with the rom update
If you don't have a card reader to try, install WM5torage to use your PPC as a reader itself (make sure you disable it when your done or the phone won't be able to use the card).

hi,
this may seem silly but i cannot seem to back my SD card up (in case of any failure)
i'm not too sure if this is the case however, i cannot seem to copy my installed software directories which are installed on my SD??? (they all have a default ending of say...
BetaPlayer.
eWallet.
Pocket Controller.
buttonMax. <<-- notice the FULLSTOP?
all the other directories copy fine except for these folders.
is anybody having any issues copying ALL files from their SD card?
is there any software that can full backup the SD card to the computer?
ie. similar to SPRITE backup?? or can SPRITE even do this? how do you set it?
Hi
Strange...
Maybe the filesystem on card is screwed up.
Try creating directories (on PC) manually (with the same names) and then copy files from inside(s).
If you succeed this way, format the SD and copy all data back.
Good luck.
I had a similar problem some time back, with those '.'s appearing after some of the directories, and not being able to do much about them, except through a card reader connected to the PC (and sometimes not even then).
eventually i had to reformat the whole card to get it working again, using CNetX's Flash Format, which also has a utility to check and try to fix cards. you can check it out here. http://www.cnetx.com/format/
Google for a freeware product called MobSync. The website is mainly in Japanese but the product is in (pidgeon) English. MobSync can sync. any directory on the PC with any on the device, one way or both ways.
I have it set to sync my Storage and Storage Card to my PC on each connect. It doesn't handle files which are too large, has the odd spelling error and has some minor issues with AS4 but as a fall back mechanism it is excellent.
Note: it doesn't convert files when it copies them - again this is a minor issue and there is a shareware product there that seems to do this.
hi i'm not too sure what you mean when you say file conversion from PC to PDA or PDA to PC?
does this matter?

It can matter but it's not a major issue. For example if you pull a Pocket Word file over via ActiveSync it is converted on the way and becomes a Word/WordPad document at the PC end, this doesn't happen with MobSync.
If all you are looking to do is preseve the data from your Storage and Storage Card, it will serve the purpose just fine.
after several reg hacks and program installs, a lot of files and folders on my storage card are not there. For example the folder "Program Files" is not there so my apps are gone, also DCIM which has all my pics from my digital camera.
I know the files are still there because Its a 1 gig card and on spb today plug in it sas 570mb used but when i open it and select all the files and folders available and click on properties it says they are only 223mb so i'm missing 347mb worth of files, most of them pics which i really want, they're from my vacation last week and still haven't backed them up!
----------edit--------------------------------------------
got it!! i thought about it and figured out this wasn't a ppc specific problem, so i did some research, first got a couple hits to some websites that assist you in recovering pics off digital camera memory cards and figured out all i needed was a data recovery program. I used GetDataBack and its working perfectly!
hi
am having exactly the same problem. do you need a special format of getdataback to install on the wizard? once you find the files do you copy them elsewhere or do they just then show up on the memory card?
thanks
I had a 4g microsdhc card in the xv6800. Verizon btw.
Had a couple larger programs installed to the storage card.
Decided to upgrade a bit and got 8g microsdhc. Turned off
ppc, copied 4g's files to laptop, then copied to 8g.
Tried using Garmin gps, problem with that as I assume card id
has changed. Couple other card id generated serials did not want
to work either.
So I remove everything from storage, cept for some personal files
etc... And in the process of removing I came up with the brilliant
idea, hmm... new storage card, might as well try out the hard reset
feature and start fresh.
At the beginning everything was fine. I restored pim data with Sprite,
and when I installed Sprite, I installed to the storage card. Install went fine
but after the soft reset, its got default icon, and don't work. So I am thinking, ok, maybe its gotta be installed to the device. Yep that worked.
So I installed some other apps I thought should also go to the device, and they worked as well.
Came to some larger apps, Garmin first, and it works. But it's the only one
that works when I install to the storage card. Any app I have tried to install
to the storage card, after soft reset, has default icon, and won't open.
I searched thru the storage card, win folder, programs folder, my documents just in case, and they are all empty. and yes I am browsing with show all files checked.
Soz its prolly something real simple that I am overlooking. All I know is the
programs that I had installed to the storage card i assume aren't actually installing, cause there are no files, but same program will install to the device
and run/work.
Any takers want to point out my stupidity for me? What I doing/did wrong?
I really have NO clue what the problem is,
BUT,
I had an odd problem with files lost on my 4G card. I stuck it into a good card reader and plugged it into my laptop. I did a 'chkdsk' on it (checked it for errors) and it found a number of lost clusters. I let it repair those, and all was well.
Actually, I believe that when I saw the errors, I copied everything off the card and just reformatted it.
Don't forget the 'safe to remove' button on the PC.
thank ya very much.
done and done and working now.
formatted it using disc management in xp.
all good now.
thanks for pointing out my stupidity.
i forgot this is windows, when in doubt...format. lol
Ok So I am here because I've posted in other places in these forums with no replies yet, So it would be better to create a thread specific to my problem.
I have an Omnia 2, thinking of acquiring the Fryo 2.2 OS, not specific about wether I want what version but here are the problems I come across before being able to install it.
1- plugging in my phone under Settings -> My storage will not show my storage on my computer, having the external SD option will show my 16GB SD card.
2- Backing up. How do I back up my storage if I can't see it on my computer? When I turn on active sync a blank storage appears other than my SD card (assuming its the internal storage) but the size seems rather small (167MB). I've been reading peoples' posts and I'm supposed to have around 2GB I believe, and either way the files I'm trying to put inside for the android OS don't seem to fit there.
3- Partitions? How can I set those up for both the internal and external storage? Is there a program or feature to do so? My SD card under properties says FAT-32 so I'm not sure on how to do it IF I need to.
4- Using a W7 computer, so that knocks off any ubuntu installations, and also link is broken for Almars Beta 1 file that I was thinking of using for an SD installation.
Any help would be appreciated, I've had this phone since 2009 and I'm really hoping I can come across some help to make it work since I do want to keep this phone for a bit longer before I spend more money on a different cellphone!
Thank you!
Try out the new CyanogenMod from the link below.
http://windows.modaco.com/topic/346446-cyanogenmod-beta1-omnia-2-updated-02122011/
It has the SD Card auto installer, try it..
Back up data on your SD card first and then format your SD card within the phone and then use auto installer to install it.
As you said your computer wont detect the My Storage, try the steps below..
Transfer your data from My Storage to external SD Card, then connect your phone to computer using My Storage mode in settings.
Download Mini Tool partition wizard and format your My Storage (Mini tool partition will be able to see your My Storage even though your computer doesn't).
After format, your computer should be able to detect My Storage.
Now copy the downloaded android files to My Storage and run the auto installer as instructed in the ReadMe file inside the download package.
PS: Don't forget to backup the data on SD Card to your computer
Hope this helps
Ok so what you meant by taking things from my storage is going to file explorer and basically copying everything from the "my device" to the SD card?
Just want to make sure because if it doesent work then I haven't gotten anything backed up right.
Went to file explorer -> copied everything in the top folder which is application date, connMgr, doc and setttings, program files etc. is this all thats needed basically?
Thanks
P.S some of the things I tried taking like global.txt or exe couldn't be copied because of violations or some weird error, is it alright not to have those?
Update: My storage is still not revealed by the mini tool partition program, went under usb settings -> my storage and refreshed disk information, nothing shows up ugh it might be impossible for me to do this after all....
nobody can help me in regards to this? well then I guess a new cellphone is in order
grrrrr I should've gone with a iphone 3G or BB 9700 at the time instead...

I guess you will have to reflash the ROM again since your problem seems to be unsolvable. My suggestions is to flash a stock 6.5.3 ROM before you transfer the auto SD installer.
This is a disaster, I am using W7 64 and a Lumia 620. When I use the desktop app as soon as I open it I get an error that it has stopped responding. If I go into Windows explorer the phone is shown in there however it doesn't show the SD card only the phone. The phone itself shows the contents of my SD card so I have no way of putting anything on my SD card.
I can't edit any of the music etc on the SD card and the meta data is all totally wrong for some reason.
I have uninstalled the desktop app and reinstalled but it made no difference. Anyone else having this issue?
Get an SD card reader and it should do the job
I know this isn't the answer u were looking 4, but it is the easiest solution. The other 1 is to reinstall windows on ur computer.
Check your directories in zune settings. My WP7 phone does not have a SD card, but I was having trouble syncing and it was because I had directories in my setup that no longer existed. I forget where though. Don't have zune on my work PC, but if i remember when I get home I will check and let you know.
