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

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)
Is there any way to use my phone as a "memory stick" without having to install sw drivers on a foreign PC.
I just want to plug-in the Wizard (with usb), have the PC to recognize extra RAM (mini SD) and be able to download files - just like a standard memory stick without installing drivers or active sync.
regards
Ulrik
Yes Tou can.
Install Card Export Pro.
Just keep in mind to switch from active sync to Card Export Pro if your device is not connected to your pc.
Any freeware out there, too??
Greetings,
Andreas
I don't have my Wizard yet (hopefully tomorrow). However, with my XDA 1, I just popped the SD card out & put it into a USB memory card reader like this one - http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-2-0-MS-Pro-...590924641QQcategoryZ50526QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Works great, and less than $10.00 U.S.
Hope that helps,

Where do I get Card Export Pro? I can't find it on any English websites :S
Try this http://www.softick.com/pocket-pc/cardexport2/
I could get it to switch to 'usb mass storage device' only after soft reseting my wizard, then it would refuse to switch modes and i would have to reboot again.
Maybe one to keep an eye on as they seem to be working hard to get it to function correctly with the wizard. I will keep testing and keep you posted. As this s/w adds a great feature.
Has anyone got it working properly?
John
I downloaded the software and it works fine on my QTEK9100 - i'm still in the 21 days trial period. I'll do some more testing with loadind/unloading files. So far the turning on/off card works fine. I did a software reset as stated....
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.

Hi.
No matter how many times I tried to switch from A/S to Storage card or MicroDrive, it would break the A/S connection (great I thought - now comes the mass storage feature...wrong!) and then revert straight back to A/S ready for use.
I tried several different ways of activating Card export, like before plugging into USB, whilst plugged in or after plugging in. All to no avail I'm afraid.
Hi mackaby007
Have you tested Card Export in the newest version 3.0.3?
from this side: http://www.softick.com/pocket-pc/cardexport2/
Softick Card Export II for Pocket PC and Windows Mobile Compatibility list:
....
Model Processor type Test result Notes
...
X7500 Advantage Intel PXA27x Works fine Version 3.02 or later is required
X7501 Advantage Intel PXA27x Works fine Version 3.02 or later is required
on my Advantage runs without any problems, but only after version 3.0.2
I hope this helps ...
and sorry for my poor English
Is this the kinda of thing similar to WM5torage???
Not sure how that would behave on the Athena but worth a shot?
On mine, it works without any problem so far. Mine is a Dopod U1000 with the official wm6 rom.
Any computer can see my dopod as a storage devise now although activesyn has not been installed on those pc. It connects and disconnects withou soft reset. I can also instantly switch between the two modes. No requirement to switch off today plugins or do safe mode reset.
I'm puzzled why it does not work the same way for some of you.
Hi,
I've read some posts regarding this issue but I was unable to find if there's already a definite solution to the memory card corruption on P3600.
Can anyone update me about that, please?
I have a 2 GB A-Data Super 80X mini SD that worked fine for 2 years since I bought this HTC. 2 months ago I sent it to warranty for exchange of the peeling covers and they also updated the WM5 ROM. After that I took some photos and used the card on the PC to save a few Tom-Tom updates and 2 weeks later Tom-Tom complained that it couldn’t find any voices. When I opened File Explorer there it was, the funny characters replaced a few folders. Before that I was using the first Portuguese official ROM that activated the GPS.
Tips and tricks I've already found around here:
To workaround the problem you can set the device to turn itself off after 1 minute in the power options, then let the device turn itself off instead of pressing the power button.
Install WM6 - Is this confirmed to solve the problem?
Memory performance tweaks-File system cache is too big, there could be some problems with your storage card, so decrease your file system cache - Is this confirmed to solve the problem forever?
As long as I copy files to/from the card using an external card reader (and not via active sync), I have no problems. - It is slower but if this works I can live with it.
Soft-reset - This didn't work for me.
Thats the one thing i hate about my trinity. I haven't got a card reader, so everything gets sent via activesync. Unfortunately anything above 15mb just crashes the card and i have to soft reset and hopefully delete the files on there.
The only solution i have found that (sometimes) works is transfering over wi-fi.
I have got a corruption problem as well. I installed a game that failed but after soft resetting i was left with files i couldn't delete, but i dont want to format yet as tomtom and other larger files can be tedious transfering over wifi.
I would like to know if there is a way to get rid of this without formatting, and why activesync crashes at 15mb
After installing a WM6.5 ROM and formating the card this problem never appeared again. The 2gb mini SD card is working as it should work without any extra tweaks or drivers.
But now I have a spare micro SDHC of 4gb and will buy a mini sd adapter to upgrade my 2gb card on trinity. I'll post my experience with the 4gb card after testing it exaustively.
For people that are having issues with the SD card on WM5, maybe its a good idea to try some alternate drivers like these:
