Has anyone got the WM5torage working on the Hermes? I've tried different versions and it seems to be fine and the computer seems to detect it as a USB mass storage but then does not recognise the sd card.

Sorry i'm newbie here,i got problems here.i cannot tranfers any file to my desktop comp while activesync in progress.somebody can help me.from desktop to my pDa can.
thanx in advance.
Hi, I already answered you in the upgrade forum as I saw the post there first.
Two things to add:
1) Please avoid posting the same thing in several forums.
2) There is an app called Wm5Storage that will turn you device in to card reader. If you have an SD use this app to access it without ActiveSync.
SD card blocked.Brand Toshiba
How to unblock the SD card.i cant format the SD card.
Did you check that the little plastic switch is not in the 'lock' (up) position?
yes it's in unlock position.
Hi,
I have a Vario II that i have flashed many's a ROM on to. However i can no longer do so.
I can get as far as the confirmation screen, click Next, the progress bar appears but remains at zero then a few seconds later activesync crashes.
Flashing the ROM then fails (obviously)
Any idea's?
I have tried searching but found nothing helpful.
p.s. i am flashing via USB
I have expirienced this on the PC at my work. Our PC there has a restriction for USB Drives. The ActiveSync detects my device but when starts to flash the connection is cut. Having an error on the RRU that my USB is disconnected or remove.
Maybe you can check your PC if it can detect your device even without ActiveSync. You can go to your control panel and check if there is no undetected hardwares.
BTW, what is the OS of your PC.?
i'm using XP.
I will try to flash my Kaiser... see if that works.
i can flash my Kaiser so no issues with detection etc.
Still the same issue with my Hermes tho.
Any help appreciated.
Use the SD card flashing method. No need activesync/cable. Read wiki : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing
i had considered that but don't have a card reader. They cost pennies these days so i guess, no excuses!
Cheers.

If you still have a working WM, you can install WM5storage and make your phone act as a card reader/usb thumbdrive. You can then format and copy files normally like using a usb card reader/thumbdrive
Thats odd. Do you use the same connector on your kaiser?
Also may i ask what's your HardSPL Version..?
I'm the only one having problems with usb mass storage? With all builds from all chef and all kernels it happens the same. I can read from the pc what is on the SD, but if I copy a file Android dont see it , the file size is 0. And new files created in android can't be readed by windows either (I can only read the files that were written on the SD before the last android boot)
I missing something? I tryied dismounting the SD from android with same results
Are you using it in the same way USB MASS STORAGE in WM6.5 ???
I use USB storage all the time and in every andrioid build I've used(about 20) I've never had any problems. There are many people like me that also have no problems, but there are also many like you that have plenty of problems. I'm not sure that anyone really knows why.

Thanks for answering. Do you have 2 partitions on the sd ?
Just want to check a few things:
1: you plug in via usb and select "disk drive"
2: you are not still connected via usb when trying to read the items on the sd card?
3: When you disconnect the usb, you use the usual method (right click the icon in the taskbar and select "safely remove hardware") then wait for the SD card to be prepared by android before accessing it?
Also, how are you accessing the files in Android?

1 & 2: Yes. Windows assing the drive letter and can read it fine.
3: I connect Android to pc, choose USB MASS STORAGE, in windows access the new drive letter, rename a file , choose "safele remove hardware", disconnect the cable, wait for Android to "prepare the sd" , go to the file and it has the old name!!! the weird thing is that if I connect to the pc again, I see in the pc the new name!
Is like Android is working with his own FAT32 table IN MEMORY and not refreshing it.
I tried Ghost Commander/ES file manager/Root Explorer, all with the same results.
PD: I found something else... If I DISMOUNT the SD from Android Im still able to access it with ES File Manager,etc. So its not really dismounting it Why can this be happening with all builds/roms?
I have the same problem. Strange thing is it worked fine fore the first couple of days. Anybody have a solution?
Try using "Rescan Media" app after you copy your files to the SD
Still nothing. I have to boot back into winMo to transfer files to my SD card! This is really annoying,
Plenty of other tools provide media scan as well, like Optimize toolbox, Switch pro widget and more. they all worked for me.
[edit] sorry, optimize toolbox doesn't offer it, it just clears the cache :/
power control plus however has this function as well.
I am trying to read my external sd card when plugged into pc (Win 7) but my pc does not see the external, only internal memory.
Any ideas how to make this happen?
If u search iconia in the android market, i believe there was an app called automount...dont qqoute ne but i think it does what your asking

You can enable USB Debugging, get the proper drivers installed, and use Droid Explorer, that is what I do.

Thanks for that information - yesterday I downloaded the drivers that were supposed to help with this but I still do not see the external from the pc.
What is droid explorer that you mention?
Thanks

Droid Explorer.
From what I've read, this is a honeycomb issue I've tried everything and can't see my external sd card on my pc. I've tried multiple programs that claim to work, but haven't found any yet.
I can't install droidexplorer on my computer, if errors out because of 64bit. I made the changes in the registry that are suggested with no luck.
Droid explorer
I know that this is probably covered in another thread but, since it was mentioned in my resolution, I am curious the benefit to rooting?
Is it worth it for an average user?
Seeing external SD card
bweave - I am repeating what I have said in the "lost files from my sd card" thread, but here goes. I use the old fashioned method of mounting my sd card in a r/w card gizmo (I use a cheapo Wal**** Targus card reader writer) I attach this to my desktop via usb and then can see the card as a mass storage unit in Win 7. I can then delete files or add music/pictures/movies and when done I put the card back in my a500 where I can then see and display the files perfectly. I do realise that this is not the most tech savvy way of doing it but it works and touch wood I have never lost or corrupted a single file. In the other forum thread several people were continually losing files from the sd card. Now if you are talking about external usb hard drives and not just the sd card then I can recommend the app "USB Mount All v1.3" from the Marketplace with this you can see and mount/unmount all external sources - cards, thumb drives and hard drives. Hope my two penneth worth might be of assistance.
Sorry bweave forgot to mention if you use USB Mount All you will need to be rooted

Hi everyone, I am having a problem about connecting my hd2 to PC/Mac.
Every time, I plug in my hd2 into Mac, it could not recognize it as a usb driver.
When i plug into Windows, it will show as a card reader, but ask me to insert the sd.
I already choose usb debug, choose Disk drive as default connection type, and still dont work. Also, i read the others post with similar problem and they all suggest to format the sd by SDFormetter, but it didn't work on mine.
The only way for me to transfer data to my sd card is using the Clockworkmod recovery. Do you guys have any idea about that and help me out please.
my hd2 is tmous, and using energy rom. and please help me out
