Problem Upgrading

Please help me! I have searched through the forum but did not see a possible solution.
I was upgrading my Qtek from 3.18.04 to 4.02.04. The ROM upgraded but after the reset the screen is frozen on the MS Windows Powered screen. Device is recognised by the PC (Windows XP) by active sync (4.0) connection is not established.
I tried using the XDATOOLS to transfer the NK.nbk file but can get it to boot from the SD. How do I make the device pick the file from the SD Card?
Would appreciate any help. Thanks

Use memory card as bootable flash usb?

Hi, I need to repair a friends notebook and thinking of using my HD2's 8gb memory card to burn on to it an iso of XP and install that way, is this as easy as this or would I need to do anything else? Essentially just need to make the card be able to boot an installation of XP when my phones plugged in via usb to the notebook,
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, I did have a quick look but not much came up, thanks for any help!

ive been meaning to test this - be great for my mobile tech support travels, i just havent gotten around to it yet.
I don't hold out much hope, i've yet to find a mobile device that does this, but I keep searching.
Please post back if you try it with results, and ill do likewise (when i get 5 minutes to myself!)

yeah I hope to try properly this week, maybe thursday, if I get chance as time is limited too! My first thing I aim to try is concepts listed from here:
http://www.bootdisk.com/pendrive.htm
It describes a method of fromatting it and perhaps changing the file system structure, will report if any success!
In the meantime, anyone any success accomplishing this?

Done it!!

With this software using the simple mode, select the location of your Windows installation CD and then the memory card of your phone (connected via disk transfer mode not ActiveSync) and set it to run.
Currently now installing XP on my friends notebook using my phones memory card!

nice, i'm planning a Linux net book remix myself.

finally tested booting a PC from the hd2 for myself today, ubuntu netbook remix loaded onto a live sd card, usb to pc set to disk drive mode.
it works a treat, the gf's laptop truly flying along using the hd2 as a bootable usb disk, and i booted by PC to a DOS 6.22 usb drive thru the hd2, hehe.
Gonna be very handy for computer support away from base.

when u connect your phone to linux and MOUNT sd card from notifications then your sd card should be mounted on linux.. It works well for me on ubuntu

Mounting your sd card should say to your computer that its just like a flash storage, it will know how to use it.

[Q] Please Educate about USB Storage Limits

OK, to get to this message, I had to read a warning about getting banned if not a developer thread.
Well, this is. Sort of.
I posted a question in the general forum and commented on the same subject in the Q&A forum. I think I know my answer but I would like to know why this problem exists.
I just got my tablet Friday evening. I figured it all out and was able to use external storage on drives and USB sticks. When I try to connect my phone as a disk drive, no files.
I am assuming that access to these files is for lack of root access, which I am not going to get because I immediately let it update to 3.2.
So, could someone tell me if lack of root is the answer and why? The phone does instantly show up as a disk drive on XP and Windows 7.
Thanks, and moderators, please don't kick me out.

Did you try mounting your phone, if you can? And yes root it would be easier with the usb mount app, or just use an app like es file explorer that can go into the root section without root then go to mnt and in one of those files should be your phone files, because i have an env touch and i use usb mass storage and it shows up on my iconia

Thanks. Yes, I did see the folder MNT but it did not show up. Using my usual file explorers, I can see the internal storage and the SD card. The next entry is the USB STORAGE where I find no files when the phone is connected.
If I connect an external drive or usb memory device, I can access all the files. When I connect the phone as a drive I see that nothing is there.
When I connect these same devices to my home pc running Win 7 and laptop with XP, they all connect the same way.
There is something in the OS that is not letting my tablet file system see my phone file system.
Thanks for the reply, I'll keep my eye on this thread.

I'm having the same problem, i can import photos or videos from the phone when the phone is on mtp mode (media transfer protocol) but when in file transfer mode (msc) nothing shows up in the mnt folder or in drive mount app. i'm running taboonay 2.2 with villain kernel. It works fine with external hdd ntfs or fat. When connecting the phone to my computer i had to install a driver from windows update and it shows as an xperia arc, do i also need a driver in my tablet? Has anyone already connected and android phone to an android tablet in mass storage mode?

Not sure Root has anything to do with it. I'm rooted on both phone and tab , and have no access to the files on my phone. When in "disk drive" mode, all it does is "charge".

MTP on XP?

Hi all...I have ICS nightly running from the SD card on my Nook Color.
I would like to connect it to my media server PC (running XP) and transfer some media files, however, when I connect it, the PC attempts to install the MTP drivers and then says it did not find them and could not install. Then it tries to install Nook Color and fails as well. The end result is that the Nook does not show up, as a device or as individual drives.
The XP machine does have Win Media Player 11 on it, and it will see the Nook without the ICS SD card.
Any ideas on how to connect and transfer files? I know about the wireless functions, I'd just like to be able to connect via usb...it seems much faster.

disable usb debugging to get mtp to work on winxp
i stumbled across this the other day

I used Multi-Mount SD Card on CM7 with great success. Have not tried it on CM9 yet.
