Hello,
I've tested two programs, WM5Storage and Card Export for my TyTn, to use my smartphone like a usb storage.
But this programs not work.
Have you a solution for me?
Thank.

Hi,
Thank for your answer.
I test this with WM5Storage 1.73 and He see my micro-sd, but there is no files.
0bytes.
I can confirm that I have the same issue so far. It works as a removable device, or local disc but shows 0 bytes. Anyone else have this issue or solve it?

i read some where, the fat 32 card wont work!
not try to reformat my card yet, bc dont need this function much
Thanks for the tip, I will give it a go at work today and let you all know how it goes.
Later, Lew
So,
I've seen on internet than WM5Storage have bugs and no work with HTC TyTn Hermes.
So, I've see here http://softick-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=649 that Card Export can run. But I'have the same problem than the personne named "RoXanne".
Can you test and informe me?
Thansk.
Anyone has test this version?
I have tested it and it does not work consistently. I formated my card with FAT (16) and the first time I plugged it in with the program running it worked. I then unplugged and moved to another machine (with the program still running) and it showed up with 0 bytes... so it doe snot work from what I can tell. I was unable to get it to read again and I don't feel like backing up/formatting card again =)

No,Its just happend again about the 5th time now where its just completely or partly wiped my 1gig lexar sd card,its a good job i backed up but it shouldent keep doing this,What do u guys think could be the problem?
This is the only thing i dont like about the jam everything else is great this would probably be a reason for mr selling it and getting rid as its happening too often,Do you think it could be imates rom as ive thought about updating to qteks 1.11 or software or hardware fault (sd) any ideas would be great,It just stops this phone from being perfect for me
Same thing is happening with me. also 1 GB A-Data Sd-card
frustrating......
never happened with 128MB card before....
anyone has any cure????
happend to me in my 512MB card... but it happened when i installed a program called RSS Feeder or something like that... everything was gone from the card except for a 2 folders which had many sub-folders....... and found a file which i couldn't delete and the size of that file was about 1.9GB yes GB not MB and had weird characters in the name... it was weird
that's scary as it happened to me once but I thought it was a fluke. This means that I have to fine a place to back it up.
Who Has Pocket Mechanic Installed? i beleieve it might be the reason. check out pleasE!
i don't have it on my jam
Same thing happens to me after transfering large files using my card reader. As soon as I insert my 1Gb SD card back in my s100 the file names juble up and I can't view the contents of the folder.
This happened even before i installed pocket Mechanic.
Transfering the same files through activesync does not seem to make the problem.
I have it installed. It aint the problem.
Happend 3 times on old Rom versions..
never happend on Anasky Patched Qtek FI 1.11 .. .. .. yet..
I use a the Blue SD 1GB SanDisk card.
Keep the SD backed up on the PC have been a must after all wipes.. scary thing.
Hope its gone.. If not.. Ill get another SD card and try that out..
Anyone "Heavy SD User" here, that uses another brand and never experience this??
Please share what card U uses..
Best Regards Carlis
Hmm, I using Lexar SD 1 Gb in my O2 mini, and quite heavy user since have mini (small internal memory). I store my games, video, Mp3 and document files. Before in mini (i bought mini in February), i used in my XDA II, So far no problem.
Tips : analyst and defrag when needed using sd card reader.
I had this problem too
Hi,
I had the same problem using a blue 1GB SD card from Sandisk together with an IPAQ 4150. The problem was hard to track down. I had the feeling that it happened when I tranfered large files with my card reader and when the card is almost full.
I even contacted HP support but they did not have any other reports like this.
I then ordered another card reader (the oval one from Retec) because I suspected thr card reader to be the one to blame. it happened again with the new card reader.
The file names were all scrambled and the explorer showed files larger than the card was. Some of them could not even be deleted.
I finally bought another card reader (Hama USB 2.0 Card Reader 9in1 Part no. 47100). This fixed all problems I had with the IPAQ / 1GB sandisk combination.
I have switched to an MDA compact a few days ago and I hope that the problem that you are experiencing is related to your card reader.
I am almost certain it is.
Is there anyone having this problem who has never used the SD card in a card ready - I think not.
Try this registry patch
I did it & now I no longer suffer any SD card wipping 8)
Great thanks alot ill give it a try,did u make the patch?
No, its just a .reg file, you can run it using Resco Explorer 2003 or any other programs, or even you can enter the registry keys manually..
ezzkht, thanks!!!
what does it actually do?
Referring to what spadb said in the past forums, there is no key referring to FAT file system for the SD Card, which both the XDA I & XDA II have.
So, this registry hack will add the reference to these DLLs (which really reside in the Windows folder, but not referenced by anything!)
Plz refer to this post for more info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=7230
All the thanks go to spadb, not me!! I just made this registry file out of what he'd discovered. :wink:
thanks man
no problem dude,,, I hope this file will solve the SD wipping problem
If anyone has lost his data, I can help to get this data back again using undelete..
Ive just been having this problem recently and applied the reg fix, only the first key, is this enough and do I also need to format my sd card with the FAT32 instead of FAT16? Many thanks
The most important keys are:
"BlockTransferSize"=dword:00000028
"FSD"="FATFSD.DLL"
But i recommend to add the whole keys.
Use Resco Explorer 2003 (even the trial version works)
With a single clic, you will have this key imported.
CHEEEEEEEEEEEERS 8)
Firstly I should say Hi now I have finally registered here after lurking for a while
Please excuse me if you have seen this posted on another site too, I really need help with this
When I put my SD card into my card reader or laptop (I have tried it on both), I get the message "The Disc in drive E: is not formatted, would you like to format it now?" So I press yes and it says... "The Disc in Drive E: Cannot be formatted".
Any ideas?
This is so frustrating, I know I can install things through activesync but I am trying to put TomTom back on which I need to do via the card reader. (BTW, I would never have got TomTom installed the first time around if it wasnt for this site )
Please help.
Are you using a fairly recent USB2 card reader or one you've had for a while. If its not a new one then you're probably going to have problems with a 2G sd card.
I bought it off ebay about a month ago. so it should be fairly modern, it doesnt work in the slot in my laptop either. I know that 2 gig cards are ok on the laptop as I use the camera SD with it no problems.
I have used SK Tools to reformat it, having done this I lost all my programs on the phone so I had to hard reset. After this I can open up the stoarge card on the laptop but when I try to copy my Tomtom over it comes up with a 'write-protection' error, no problems moving cab files over and installing via activesync. Although I cant install TomTom this way because of the file conversion.
Im wondering now if maybe the SK tools format did the job and maybe my problem lays with Tomtom, it worked before though so I just dont understand it.
Thanks for your reply. I shall have to try that program.

I had some problems with a 4gig sd card showing as write protected like yours.
I solved it by putting a folded piece of the thin backing film from a screen protector on top of the sd card when I put it in the reader.
The write protection is a small contact inside the reader and it just needed this extra packing to put a bit of pressure on the contact to make a connection.
after doing that for a week it now does not need the film so I assume that the contacts inside the reader were either a bit dirty or had some sort of coating that has now worn off.
Worth a try ??
Thanks, I really dont think its the card reader though as it doesnt work on my laptops SD slot either, and when I try to take the files for Tomtom over via Activesync it does the same thing. Installing Cab files is fine though. Im starting to think its a TomTom problem, which is odd as it worked before on my old card, both Sandisk Ultra II.

bought a new 512mb Kingston Mini sd card . I cannot seem to transfer anything to it. Both my PC and the Wizard `see' the card and register the correct size but I cannot transfer anything to it. Any help appreciated. I read somewhere you need to format a new card on the wizard ??? how do I do this
:roll:
you can use StorageTools
Hi Pat thanks for the reply.
What is the executable file you suggest ? is it for using on my PC or the wizard? whats the method ?cheers
its the desktop instalation of storage tools.
http://www.softwinter.com/storagetools.html
download link - http://www.softwinter.com/download.html
Its just pat hotlinked the exe file
yes, sorry. My post could have been a bit more explicit. By the way, what do you mean when you say you can't transfer anything to your card?
Is it just using ActiveSync or did you try your card on your PC with a card reader? If you do have a card reader then you don't really need storagetools . Just format it on your PC and it should be allright.
Another solution is to get WM5Storage (see this post) It will turn your Wizard into a USB drive so that you can copy files without the hassle of activesync or play music files on the card from the desktop, and since it will be seen as a usb drive...format it!
The guy who came up with WM5storage is a genius, I had been looking for this kinf of software ever since I had my fisrt smartphone years ago
Good luck
Hi Pat thanks thats brilliant.
I use a USB reader for the card but it is placed into a SD holder first because my 7:1 PC reader doesn't accept mini SD .
I can see the card and it registers the correct size 512Mb It seems to be accepting drag n drop in explorer and I can see the burn led writing to the card.
When I put it in the wizard it registers the card and offers to find the files so far so good. It then sees the files and transfers them to `libray'?but they don't show up in either the wizard's explorer or win media ?
well that was an interesting 15 minutes :shock:
Clicked on the link Danny gave and got a lockup followed by a BSOD from which the only escape was pull the power lead and reboot. I would advise anyone to treat with caution.
Hello again peanut!
You mean that just by clicking on a the link you got a BSOD? Amazing!
Back to your SD Card, have you tried 3rd party file explorer such as gsfinder (my favorite) or resco explorer to see if they access your card properly? And also try TCMP instead of WMP. For one, it's much better anyway and I've read somewhere (here I guess) that some people had trouble getting WMP to "see" their media files on the SD. Anyway, I guess it would be a good idea to reformat you card in either FAT32 or FAT16 with 512 bytes cluster so as to waste the minimum amount of storage
It may be related to a prolem I have periodically with firefox not loading . Ithink zone alarm is involved as well so I may need to re-install the lot
thanks for the suggestion about TCMP and yes I'll try a fresh format see what happens cheers
The link in my post was found by right clicking Pat12's link and looking at the URL.
All the links are from the same website and i seriously doubt anything is wrong with any of them, check your firewall as it can interupt file transfers and cause things to hang.
My mini sd card and my friends weren't working for banana's. untill i formatted them on the pc unsing a card reader. now they work fine.
never found out why the cards weren't correctly formatted to start with, guess i'm not bothered as they work great. they were also kingstons
thanks for your input RJ webb I'll try a re-format.
Danny your link is fine it was probably my zone alrm plus the drive had gone to sleep lol no blame mate just thanks for your help
Is it a branded card, where did you get it from?
I bought a 2gb unbranded one and it sometimes doesn't show up in the device, and sometimes corrupts the data on the card - so I assume its faulty/dodgy.
I've ordered a sandisk one to replace it with, hope that one works better.
Hi Scotland its a Kingston card I bought off ebay. Probably a crap card knowing my luck. I'll try re-formatting it on another computer maybe that will help.

I hate to ask the obvious, but is it locked with the little switch?
ha ha not so obvious actually because it was at first before I noticed it had a lock the other day. Thanks for the suggestion
Has any one managed to use software like wm5torage or card export II with trinity? I tried both but they do not work for my device.
Doed any one know a way for them to work or another solution to use the storage card as a flash drive that works for HTC trinity?
I've the same problem and no solution. I can switch on my htc 3600 between card and active sync, but the card function doesn't work (card exportII ppc). No device under winxp????
I had same problem. Goto Start>settings>usb to PC and uncheck Enable advanced network functionality and that should fix the problem
Thanks, but it doesn't seem to have changed anything for me... still no removal drive appearing in Win XP after unchecking that option (tested again after soft reset, same result).
I rather using a usb 2.0 card reader, but when I tried WM5torage and Card Export, I remember both of them worked a couple of times, but for most of the times I tried to use them I got the same problem as you, I think Card Export didn't work or even complain, WM5torage returned some error message.
Another strange thing, when they did work, I had to use the device, i.e. press the start menu, open an application, for the transfer rate to become acceptable! really weird, if I just plug in the device and let it alone it was slow as hell to browse or do anything else.
So I decided to use one of these:
I have a USB mini SD card reader, unfortunately it doesn't seem to like 4go mini SD...
So I'm waiting to receive another reader that looks like yours... just hope it will read my cards (or are they capped to 2go?).
Anyway, I have at least one computer where I card read my card, so not a real problem... just wanted to be able to use it at work for example, and without ActiveSync that seems to corrupt the card...
Card Export II
Card Export II works well on my unit although after a reset it may take a little time till the Icon shows up. Also if you don't see your Mini-SD card in Windows just disconnect the USB cable, do a quick change from Card Export to Active Sync and back to Card Export then Windows will show you the MiniSd files.
Well after trying again and again, I've given up on using that kind of program...
Hopefully I've received the same usb card reader as Apoc and it work like a charm with my mini sd 4go

Maybe it's not working because your using a MiniSD 4GB (if that's what you wrote)...what brand/model are you using? is it working well??
For me WISBAR LITE was the problem!!!
I had to disable wisbar. Start wm5torage. activate it. restart wisbar.
now I can use (activate/stopp/restart) wm5torage without a problem.
(haven't done a reset yet)
I have always had problems with WM5torage telling me that something is still running on the card so can’t start. I check everything in processes and nothing appears to be pointing to the card, so without uninstalling one-by-one to find the conflicting culprit, I give up.
However Card Export II works great! Never had a problem with it connecting as a removable drive except with USB 1.1. I find if I connect to a PC with USB 1.1 it disables the USB altogether until a restart.
I’m using a 2Gb card, so either you are having problems with your 4Gb, or can I presume you are not using USB 2?
Also what have you formatted your 4Gb to? Fat32? What did you use to format with? You can get software like this especially to format SDHC.
I can put folders from my trinity on the pc but not from the PC en the trinity.
A hint:
I just bought A S300+ and tried WM5torage, I had a classic "maybe card is in use" problem. I already had patched rom and radio rom. So I tried to remove all protections with an official tool I know: Device Security Manager PowerToy for Windows Mobile 5.0 on microsoft website
Guess what ? it worked like a charm
Usage is very easy select "Security off" in selected configuration Compare with actual active sync device and then click 'provision'
Just disable the phone ...
See next thread. Cannot delete this one ...
Just disable radio ...
Just make sure you disabled the radio. I have some programs installed on the card (PB Weather) which are always active when the radio is on. If I disable the radio WMStorage works fine.
But you have to uncheck the extended option in the USB settings anyway.
Good luck

I used / tried both of this programs
last version of card export works great but not the previous one
WM5torage was working on different version of ROM
In the last I use, FAMAN 3.6, WM5torage is working fine.
in previous, 3.3 3.4 3.5, it wasn't. I had to do it with Card Export.
the driver used for handling memory card inside WM6 is the center of the problem
Card Export use its own driver, instead of WM5torage.
That's what I understood in some forums ...
So do some test on different version of ROM
good luck
PS : I use 4Gb Mini SDHC and I never install anything in the card to avoid any "actually in use" problems
I tried the last BETA version on WM5storage on FAMAN4.01 french WM6 rom and work like a charm
I just forgot to end my post ...
I also use WM5torage 1.78 beta 2 on FAMAN 3.6, and it is working very fine
I didn't try it on FAMAN 4.01 because I didn't keep this ROM version more than 1 hour.
The big advantage of WM5torage is it's freeware
Thought my Hermes (well SPV M3100) was playing up.
Turns out it can no longer see the 1GB storage card.
Used to work fine and then just stopped.
I can read it on my PC and the files are on it.
Put it back into the SPV M3100 and it tells me no storage card present.
Any idea how to rectify this?
Thanks
think ive read somewhere here.. (think wiki.. am not that sure) something about your problem...
will look up link for you..
GOT IT.. TRY HERE..
hope this helps...
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I *think* I have a different problem.
The card just does not appear at all. It just doesn't think it has a storage card.
Ejecting and re-inserting has no effect. Will need to try an get hold of another MicroSD card to see if that works.
If anyone has any other suggestions, fire away please!
Howdy,
I did mention a while ago when asked about a 4gb card.
Depending on your OS (xp, or vista). You may have accidentally said yes to a 'do you want to format and scan the card ' whilst in your pc at some point.
This can kill the card as far as the phone considered.
Try re-formatting the card trying both fat and NTFS, in your PC
Anyhow, one format works one doesn't.
I have done this a few times to myself before I realised it
Good luck !
Any probs private email me if you like
If i plug out the MicroSD card and plug in again, the card might not be recgnized until reboot, or sometimes it can been found immediately. Can anyone tell me the reason?
