OK but how can i reflash my SX56 with SD cadr if I don't have any back up ?
plus everybody has bootloader 5.17 or older but my is 5.22 :-(

Hello,
you have 2 options both use SD card:
1. get ROM backup from any other working XDA.
2. get SD card reader/writer. change the extention of the ROM file you cooked to .zip and use winzip to extract a file named NK.nbf under \english directory. use the SD writer to copy this file to the SD card.
in both cases, insert the SD card into your XDA and use the bootloader.
good luck ...

similar problem last year
Hiya Mike2001,
I had a similar problem last year. I found that while the ActiveSync monitor shows no connectivity you will still be able to transfer an OS image. One hiccup I did find, and I am running wallaby 5.17 by the way, is a version conflict with the proposed rom and existing header information. This is a windows registry problem on your PC caused by the crash which needs to be deleted prior to attempting the upgrade.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,

Restoring deleted files on SD Card without card reader?

Is it possible to return incidentally deleted files on my SD Card (@MDA Compact) without card reader? Any PPC soft for this, any bright ideas?? :?:
ThanX

I believe it is possible
First install Card Export II on your PPC, it will make your SD act like a mass storage... it works really good
http://www.softick.com/pocket-pc/cardexport2/
or you can try this free (alpha) program
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/usbmassstoragedriver.shtml
or here http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/usbmassstoragedriver.shtml
I have not tried it.... but you can give it a shot
Second.... Install any software that recovers deleted files on your PC.... lets say File-Rescue Plus
http://www.softwareshelf.co.uk/files/products.asp?type=cat&ID=11
or Tune-Up http://www.tune-up.com/products/tuneup-utilities/
then try to recover deleted files...
Very Important.... to recover files successfully, you should do the Recover operation after files are deleted, and you should not write anything new to your card until you get the files recovered... this is because new files are being written to the same place your old filed were written to, and thus, you won't be able to recover them in case you added anything new!
let us now the results

Thanx a lot, I solve the problem with CardExport + TuneUp combination! USBMSC-Alpha doesn't work.

Why there isn't any programmer to write a PPC software to to undeletle directly? It would be nice without even need to go to a desktop to do it.

you are welcome :wink:

I found it ! The SD card switcher !!!

I posted a few days ago this message : http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=38829
I asked for a sd card switcher. But no response.
I searched all around the web but in vain.
So I decided to search on my hard drive because I had one for smartphone.
It wasn't difficult to find it and I would try to install it on my ppc (SPV M3000) and... it works very well !!!
It's very useful for battery life. Switch on/off the SD as you want. This soft can't be easier than it is.
Install the .CAB file by executing it on the ppc and find the shortcut of the app in \Start menu\Accessories folder.
Enjoy !

Sorry, didn't see your message. Could have written this for you
V

didnt work on mine, cab wont even install. any1 to try extracting it for me??

Note, it gets reset when you eject and reinsert an SD card.

almost al my programs and documents are on my 1GB mini-SD card, so I don't think this will be very usefull...
thx anyway!!
CIAO!

i'm at work at the moment (so can't try till tonight)
but, what happens if you have set the camera to save to the card and it's switched off?

Hey, I'm searching how to set the camera to save to the card?
I think if the card is switched off, it will save automatically to the internal memory because of my smartphone it was like this !
answer for the camera please.
THX

You can change that easily in the camera app itself. See :
Teach me: How to save camera pictures directly in MEM. CARD?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39190

i try this on mine.. no luck... cant save battery life then..

Works like a charm here

Did you guys find the sd card was re-enabled on re-inserting?

How to copy (save) contacts to the memory card?

Is it possible at all?
Could be great if I'll be able to copy (save) sms and/or e-mail messages that way too, but this is not so important...
I've tried to search the forum, but going blind and can't find answer...
Please. help me...
Thanks in advance

You need the latest version of the SIM Manager.
Here yah go:

Thanks!
I've copied contacts to SIM not to the memory card, but at least they are secure now!
Regards

Use this simple app http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-ns-contacts-backup-v1-0.html

Hmm.. how did it do that? There are other informations that a SIM card can't handle, e.g. Home phone, mobile phone of a particular contact? They give two seperate entries? How about restoring?
Anyway, a simplier way to do here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=63479&highlight=

search on here for PDAMobiz extended rom. it has a file in it called PPCBckpContacts.exe ...this works wonderfully it backs it up as a outlook file so that u can import it on ur pc if ud like. now this little app stores ur file on ur memory card!

i;m soo sry
i didnot encrypted my files but that appears when i installed the new rom

TheCHAMPJT is correct, you"re files have been encrypted by the built in program in the rom. You should be able to unlock it again using the same program (under settings) provided you haven't and DON'T reflash your rom on your phone. That will make problems much worse.

why didnt you follow the age old rulle and take out all the cards in the phone?
