MicroDrive BIG ISSUE [SOLVED!] - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General

Guys, let me tell you my most recent problem with the MicroDrive of my Dopod U1000! These are the e-mails I sent to Dopod Customer Service at Taiwan, they were very kind all the time by the way, but I solved this issue myself thanks to:
WM5Storage Version 1.73 (http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=238545)
Thank you Igor V Bozhko!
FIRST E-MAIL, I wrote, I was shocked!
Hi, yesterday while I was listening to some MP3's on my Dopod U1000 on the
car, the device freezed! That seemed very strange to me, because that was
the first time that I saw this, so I did a soft reset as usual, and when the
device entered Windows Mobile, it wasn't recognizing the MicroDrive!!!!!!!!!
I have tried everything to get my MicroDrive back to live, tried
Formatting it with the Windows Mobile utility, with the Boot Loader,
hard reset, I even tried to downgrade to
ruu_athena_dopodasia_wwe_1.24.707.3_105_6275_1.32. 00.10_108_ship!

SECOND E-Mail I wrote:
Yes I have already tried: Start>Setting>Format Micro Drive and it doesn't work, it exits with the following error:
MicroDrive cannot be accessed.
After that I tried performing a Hard Reset and by pressing the Communication Manager button I agreed that I wanted to format the MicrDrive disk too. The unit was wiped on it's ROM part information giving me the Welcome Screen, installing again all the Extended ROM, but still the MicroDrive is not recognized.
Today when I made a soft reset after the hard reset, and I could listen to the motor of the MicroDrive being started just after the bootloader screen, but before saying Microsoft Windows Mobile.
Do you have an utility that can tell me if the MicroDrive is present and is working so we can discard a mother board problem?
Thank you!
SECOND Reply:

THIRD E-MAIL I wrote when a brilliant idea came to me 3 days after I had suffered from this issue! I used WM5Storage:
GUYS! HUGE Update!
I have managed to access the MicroDrive on my device!!!
I have used the following program:
http://www.modaco.com/WM5torage-t238545.html
I enabled WM5Storage with the following configuration:
Read-Only Not checked
Removable Class Checked
As DKS1: / External Storage
And when I plugged it into a Windows Vista Toshiba Qosmio computer, the MicroDrive was recognized!
I am copying all the information that I had on my MicroDrive, since this information was vital!
Would you recommend me anything? Should I try formatting the MicroDrive via Windows Vista once I get out all my information?
Thank you, and I hope this helps, obviously there is something wrong with the ROM you are shipping with the Dopod U1000, I will keep you informed guys!
FOURTH E-Mail I wrote, everything is working as expected now!
Wow! I just formatted the MicroDrive using Windows Vista tools, and as soons as I Deactivated WM5Storage (By Ivar) the MicroDrive was recognized again, with any soft resets or anything at all!
This tool is great, maybe the motor of the MicroDrive was stuck or the Windows Mobile OS refused to recognize it because of a bad sector or something, but finally I have my MicroDrive working again!
Please keep an eye on this problem since I have heard of at least 6 cases like mine having the same issue, I will post this information on XDA-Developers.
Thank you and regards from Mexico City!
THE END!
Please let me know if you are in the same situation and I will try to help you out!
Regards!

Sorry to bother, you mentioned about downgrading, what exactly was the rom you were using?
I bought U1000 in Thailand, and the only rom that's available so far is 1.24.707.3, where could I get access to any newer ones? Thank you in advance.

As far as I know at this time the most recent ROM version is included in the Dopod U1000 sold in Taiwan, I ordered mine from wu5262
My current and the shipped ROM I received with the device is:
ROM 1.24.709.3
Radio 1.32.00.10
Protocol 32.65.7020.09H
ExtRom 1.24.709.104
I tried downgrading to see if flashing another ROM will solve this issue, and since ruu_athena_dopodasia_wwe_1.24.707.3_105_6275_1.32. 00.10_108_ship was the only ROM I found at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=302039&page=4
I simply tried flashing it. Sorry but there are not any ROM upgrades for our devices yet, I guess we will have to wait for the Official WM6 ROMs in June.

Have you tried doing a Soft Reset before you try to mount it with WM5Storage?
This is a very frequent problem of WM5Storage and it is due to an application trying to access the MicroDrive. The best way to solve this so far is doing a Soft Reset and before doing anything else try to use WM5Storage.
Good luck!

Can you mount the Mini SD card or TrueFFS "/" with WM5Storage? Do you have the same error with the Mini SD, Bluetooth Disk Block or the trueFFS? Is it DSK1:/ External Storage the one you are trying to mount?

Turn off all your today plugins, then try to run it.

The problem finally solve with run the WM5Storage in VISTA without mobile connection center installed. After that i high level format the micro drive all resume to normal. Don't know it is a ROM bugs or mechanism issue. Will HTC release a Micro Driver diagnostic tools?

I am glad you solved it! Yes, I suppose this is a ROM bug, Dopod promised me they will keep an eye on this issue, I hope it will be fixed with the next ROM upgrade and also I hope it will have WM6, please!

What are you searching for exatcly? Most of the questions are answered here in the forum. You can also take a look at the Wallaby section in Wiki.....
Stefan
Wiki ? can I've a URL ?
I tried to upgrade my Qtek 1010 from 2002 to 2003 although I can't start it now. The windows stops on the loading screen.
I tried to use a few things like XDAarit and stuff, but I did it with MMC.
I didn't get any reply to my MMC question in the forum ( Post ). So I guess that is not the problem, that guy here said he used a FAQ I wanted to know where it is, maybe it might help me out.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby
Never tried flashing with a MMC. Used everytime a SD-Card....
So I'm not sure, but I'm nearly sure that's your Problem....
So try getting a (at least) 64 MB SD-Card and try it again....
Stefan
Thanks dude, problem solved.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't the MMC problem but the Xdarit and my card reader. After taking a different card reader from my fathers PC shop and taking an SD card with a new xdarit. It all worked out just fine, Although I still got one issue, I'm trying to put 2003 and still it never works, I tried all kind of versions, only 2002 works great. Can you give me any hint ?
Don´t know where the problem is. Have you tried XDATools and the OSImageTool?
Stefan
I didn't but that shouldn't be the issue, because I can install 2002 and upgrade with active sync. which pretty much the same thing, in both ways it doesn't work. only pocket pc 2002 works fine.

I remember an other guy, who had the same problem. PPC2002 ROMs went fine, but all WM2003 didn't work. But i don't remeber if, and how he solved the problem. Maybe you take a search in the forum and contact him personally....

Sure, thanks a lot ! I hope I'll find that topic

Big problem

Hi
I am new here and i have problem
When i turn on my qtek9000, i recieve message Serial V.100.
If i connect USB cable it displays USB instead of Serial.
This happened when i tried to do radio upgrade (through usb hub, sim and sd were also in phone...).
I have 1gb SD card and also card reader mounted in laptop, so transfering files should not be problem.
Can someone help me with step-by-step procedure how to make my qtek work back. I used a lot of search but i am even more confused....
I just remember that when qtek worked Radio was something like 1.0.3.1 and also WWE was writen somewhere....
Probably i should put rom to sd with ntrw (which wersion of both),.......
please help....
might be a dumb question on my part - but have you tried a reset (initially a soft one but then a hard one of course, if nothing else works...) ???
I mean you will at least be able to revert back to the condition 'out of the package'...
Hope everything works out!
jup.both things NOT HELPED
looks like you're stuck in the bootloader mode....
try flashing the rom & the radio rom once again by connecting it to your laptop's usb...
i guess something screwed up while you were upgraging your radio rom...and you'd need to redo it!
Best,
San
can you please write me a procedure?
You might want to check the following thread. Everything is well described.

I have solved problem with Radio upgrade. I am in much better mood now. 8)
Anyway i have 4 more questions.
1.) I am using bluetooth car-instalation Parrot CK3100. I am wondering if is possible to transfer any other sound except telephone conversations to that device. When i had Nokia 9500 i was able to hear every single click,tone,...i made on phone also on car-instalation. I also heard nokia ringtone in car instalation.With qtek i am getting generic car-instalation ringing tone instead of phone ringing. Otherwise primary intention (hands free talking) works fine. I would like to have that to be able to hear voices from various GPS software.
2.) Since QTEK9000 is PDA and phone in single unit I would like to have in car GPS application "always on top". Like previously mentioned i can easily manage my calls with car-instalation. Therefore i would like to run Phone section in background or GPS applications on top.I hope you will understand what i would like to say
3.) I also need in-car holder for qtek. Do you have any reccomendations?
4.)
My settings:
R: 1.04.02
G: 42.37.P8
D: 1.13.64.WWE
Is that ok or should i upgrade?
Stuck in bootloader mode
Hi guys,
Got stuck in bootloader mode following an upgrade attempt. Tried to reflash radio using the files from the pload folder only to get an error saying it's for the wrong device - tried this several times with the same result.
any ideas?
Is there a binary and a tool I can just do a straight upload?
thanks

Thanks DreamTheater
Thanks for your help - unfortunately I got the same message, ie this rom is not meant for this device etc...
Will see O2 can do anything (who's that laughing...???) - was going to buy a new xda mini anyway...!
1. REMOVE your SD/MMC card.
2. Soft/hard reset.
3. Run the upgarde again.
Step 1 above solved my problem.

Softick Card Export II version 2.11! Now working on Wizard!

It works for my 838.. I have lockup and unable to switch to SDcard mode only if I connected to my PC and activesync once and unplug. But that seems to be the activesync issue in my 838 which fail to free itself from unplug from PC. So it cannot switch to SDcard mode..and prompt me an error message.
I have already switch to AS4.1 but does not improve my situation.
What is Microsoft doing here?? :roll: A soft reset is the only way to get my device syncup again.. :x
I own this program since I had my XDA mini ...
finally I can use it again to copy some files to my pda and use it as a memory stick...
I also noticed some problems:
1. after I connect the USD cable and the PC recognized my pda as a memory stick, Windows XP asked me to make a reboot in order to be able to use the new 'harddrive'
2. after I copied a .jpg to my pda it looked like the storage card is no longer recognized by WM5. The icons of the shortcuts to programs I installed are missing and I cannot browse with TotalCommander to my storage card.
After disconnecting the USD cable, my storage card could be found again - is this a bug or a feature?!
After the first connect in mode 'Card Export' I switched to 'Active Sync' and the synching went on without any problems.
After agains swithing to mode 'Card Export' my Wizard gave an error message, as follows:
"Cannot switch between Card Export and Active Sanc modes. This may be because of missing dlls or corrupted registry entries."
This looks also to me like an incompatibility between card export and active sync.
Hmpf ... rebootet the phone and connected - voila - my Wizard was again properly verified as Memory Stick and I again could upload another .jpg to my device.
It looks definately unfinished ... but it is working quite acceptable to me, though there is a lot room for improvement, it will get the job done, if I need a memory stick 'on the go'.
My device is a HTC Wizard, O2 german.
i may be wrong on the second point, but activesync alters a file when you transfer it to the pda,
so if you transfer a file to the card (even using a card reader) then put the card back in the pda wm5 will not recognise it properly.
point 1 should only happen the first time of detection.
have no problem with my XDA II...

I am experiencing the same... Please update this topic if you'll find a solution.
i'm having the missing dlls dialog problem too.
I noticed that once you activesync'ed, you can't switch to card mode and need to reboot the device.
However, mine can't seem to work anymore. It won't even switch. But I also tried disabling my today's screen (pocket plus and pocket breeze) and it works... but only the icon manage to change. My PC can't detect it as a mass storage device though.
Any luck?
Mine is working fine, I got that dll message once but a soft reset fixed it.
Just wondering what roms are you guys using that works with softick? I'm using rom version 1.6.7.1 WWE which doesn't seem to work. I tried hard reset and install softick on the first reboot. The computer detected a new hardware but failed to install the device.

Same here too!! using ver 2.12
ver 2.11 worked fine with me, so most probably I will downgrade to it now.
I emailed the tech support and waiting for their reply. I will post it here in case I get anything new.
I just tried v2.12, and it didn't work. I found v2.11 on some download site, and installed it. v2.11 worked fine on Qtek's 2.8.7.1 ROM.
I cant get this to work either using 2.12. I get the device manager problem as mentioned previously. Does anyone know where can i get 2.11 from?
found it here:
http://www.softick.com/files/CardExportPPC211c-softick-en.zip
but i get the same problem
You can find previous versions in the "download" section on the left.
I'm having the same issues, used to work fine with 2.11, then it stopped being able to write but could still read (this is on my Mac), and now with 2.12 I can't even get the thing to mount. I'm talking with the developer to see if we can get a fix.
Any 2.12 and 2.11 not working for me... My computer and three others shows me message that they don't have drivers
I posted a query on their forum.

I'm a bit confused regarding their reply.
You asked a question about the Wizard and they replied saying they are waiting on delivery of HTC Universal to examine it better. I'm not sure what the Universal has to do with compatibilty for the Wizard as they are completely different devices with different hardware. (Mybe i'm wrong and the hardware components that Card Export uses is actually the same on both devices)
Puckster -
I noticed this on second look, and asked for clarification.
just want to inform everyone that there is a free alternative. it's similar to softick card export that it turns your device into a plug-and-play card reader. it's called wm5torage (yes, the number '5' is the letter 'S')
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45411&highlight=wm5torage
it does not have the system tray icon that enables you to switch between activesync and export mode, but rather you open the app in your accessories folder and activate/deactivate it from there.
but hey, it's free and it works

WM5torage problem - please help!

Many apologies if a solution to this has already been posted - if it has could someone lead me in the right direction?
My problem is with transfering large files to the Ameo's Microdrive. Activesync is too slow and wont transfer large files. I have tried two different versions of wm5torage, each time installing correctly and soft resetting. I am able to connect to my computer as a mass storage device without a hitch, and all files etc show up. The problem is that when i try to move, say a DivX onto the Microdrive after about 30 seconds I receive the message: "canot copy .....: cannot find the specified file. make sure you specify the correct path and file name"
Please can someone help me with this as it's ever-so-slightly doing my head in.
Many thanks
p.s. if it's any use i've tried this with both wm5 AND 6 with the same disappointing result
wm5torage works like a charge just dl on modaco forum then run it, your pc will see your ameo like a usbstick .

Hi Leon.
What version are you running? Try this one if you're not already running it.
If all else fails...and this is cumbersome, but works everytime....use SafeMode Advanced and use it at boot time...no other drivers will be loaded and no conflicts.. It will def work then. After transferring your files, soft-reset to go back into standard WM5/6.
Let us know how you got on.
When I try with version 1.75 it is unreliable and often produces the error message you see. It may be luck but I've not had problems with 1.73. I disconnect the USB cable first before running, activate the software, then reconnect the cable.
When it does go wrong my Microdrive file table corrupts, also the Ameo hangs on the rainbow-wheel. I soft reset. Once I get it working I get errors if I need to copy the same file again. To fix this, I open WM5torage and run Check Disk on the Microdrive from my PC.
what you need to do is go to settings and the connections tab and turn off the advanced network functionality in "USB to PC". then use WM5torage.
I've tried unchecking "advanced network functionality" but to no avail. I've tried uninstalling activsync, and I've even tried it on a pc which has NEVER had Activsync on it - all with the same disappointing result.
Invariably WM5torage crashes and is 'unkillable' (if that's a word!) via Running Programs. Whatever I do it just crashes when I try to deactivate it.
I tried a hard reset of the device AND microdrive prior to installing Wm6 and THIS didn't work either. I've also tried the WM5torage cab posted in this thread by mackaby007. No luck.
I've tried Softkey Card Export ii as well and that just keeps reconnecting to activesync before windows even gets chance to recognise it as a mass storage device.
I think I've ran out of ideas.....

Just tried it with WM5torage 1.72 and that seems to be working fine.
Just transferred a 700mb file without hitch.
Wonder what the problem was with 1.75
try out card export 3.0
i heard this is a god sofwtare
I tried to see what could be wrong
I installed Card Export II but it would not ran and complains of missing dll's, but WM5torage 1.73 worked instantly. I have just transfered 3.5 Gb of music and some clips to test it. No problems yet and transfer took about 20 mins.
Could your problem be caused by installed software? Will have a look at Card Export 3 (never heard of it, or their notice must have gone to spam folder)
I've always been able to use version 1.73 smoothly in the past. Then, later I tried out version 1.75 thinking that it might work better. I could connect and activate. I had no problem transferring small files. However, it always stopped recognising the device as a valid USB mass storage a few minutes into the transfer operation. The de-activation would hang the device. I then went back to the older version that I still kept in my PC, (Modaco only has the faulty new version), and everything works again. I transferred a 3.7 gb file without problem.
So, make sure you do not use version 1.75 from the Modaco site.
doh!
I just read the first page and installed the 1.75 version which does crach my ameo as well. Can anyone tell me where to get version 1.72?
Please test the new WM5torage 1.78 beta version on your Athenas. It should again work on long transfers without glitches.
Feedback is needed, so please report in the main support forum here - http://www.modaco.com/WM5torage-t238545.html
Unless people with Athenas will participate in testing, there will be no good support for it...
Where can we get the 1.78 version
when I go to the link in the previous post, and click on download, it suggest only versuin 1.75
I'm having same error described in post #1 on my HTC Athena WM6.
Actually the error occurs only when using PC with WIN XP OS, while on my laptop which runs Win 2000 I don't have that problem at all.
Cheers
I've tried version 1.73, 1.75 and 1.78 beta 2 and only 1.73 is working.
On other versions i'm getting same error as Leoni
Cheers
I've tried loads of versions now but can't seem to gwet my hands on 1.73.
All the cabs marked 1.73 are 1.75
Can someone post a working 1.73 cab please

Here is version 1.73
the trick is to disable the advanced network support option in Connectivity in settings under the "PC-to-USB" icon

yes its a good while ago now since I posted that thread. but I do recall trying unticking the advanced network functionality box with my original wm5 tmob rom and also with the leaked wm6 rom. I also recall that it still didn't work. I really did try everything but only found success when installing the older version of wm5torage.I still cannot fathom why wm5torage 1.75 worked for some people but not for me. I haven't tested it since installing p.k.s black rom but will try tomorrow.
sorry to be a buttlicker olipro but cheers for your work by the way

PocketLoox N100 ServiceMode

hi everyone...I have a Fujitsu Siemens Pocket LOOX N100 that runs on wm5.I wonder if somebody knows a way to get it into service mode because I want to replace the GPS software that comes with the unit, not only because the maps are way out of date, but because the don't have a map for my country. I would like to install iGo because I have it on another GPS and I love it...
Thanks in advance...
Loox N100 does not run WM 5.1 but WinCE 5.0
To access the device you need to enable ActiveSync und the device.
I join two CAB files in order to enable or disable ActiveSync.
Just rename the file you need to MN6-update.cab and put in root of miniSD card (save original one first) and reset device.
After that you can access the device via ActiveSync and install whichever software you like.
If you want to enable ActiveSync and start on a clean desktop you should use the CAB file attached.
In there you have
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init]
"Launch50"="explorer.exe"

first of all I want to thank you Sabo, I'm really looking forward to get back from my trip and test those cabs...
but first let me see if I got it wright:
1.the loox_n100_enable...zip are the files to enable/disable the activesync, but would I have access to the WM menus??I ask this because the N100 starts in a kiosk mode
2.the MN6_update.cab - is going to start the N100 in explorer mode not kiosk??
I have a Loox n110 running TT6 and I got all my hacking info from here . It's a very long thread going back 3 years but it has everything you need to know. I installed the iLooks desktop starting off with the Active Sync cab trick as mentioned to access WinCe.
Hope you find it useful.
hi..thank you very much guys for all the help...until now I wanted to sell the n100 but now I'm again very happyyyy, I can barelly wait to start experimenting...
Forgot to mention that with a Mini SD to Micro SD adapter I can run a 16gb memory card on it so you can really load it up - no wifi though.

Don't sell this fine piece of hardware.
Where els do you find a PND with removable battery which is this small and where you can disable static navigation in order to use it easily for geocaching or other things.

I can only see the first 4 GB of a microSDHC card.
Do you have a driver in order to see the rest of the card?

My mistake sorry although the system recognises the capacity of the 16gb card when I actually browse the folders not all files are showing. I forgot this as I don't use this card usually in the Loox.
It does recognise all files on my 8gb microSDHC card, however. My built in driver is "SDHC_SC2410.dll". I haven't installed any other drivers myself.
Mine is the Loox n110 with the built in flash drive of 2gb using driver "FLASHDRV.dll". Not that it would affect the reading of the SDHC memory.
Hope that answers your question.
Hello all, I know it is a very very old topic !
But I found in my father's place this old Loox N100 piece of tech and I was trying to do some stuff with it.
I managed to access Windows CE 5 thanks to those CAB file provided about this topic.
But then I can't install or modify anything.
Can someone help me to update the maps of the GPS or install a more recent one please?
I have been searching for hours on internet but I can't find how to do. I don't understand the use of ActiveSync neither. My PC is running on Windows 11.
I tried to copy some exe or cab file to the Mini SD card, but when I want to install them from the device, I have an error "xxx is not a valid windows CE setup file"
Anybody could help me achieve something with this old tech?
Thanks a lot and sorry for the old post.
BTW: Since I used the CAB file above, I always boot on Windows CE first and also the USB connection to the PC doesn't open the SD Card anymore. I tried to use the "disable activesync" CAB file above, but it continues to boot on Windows CE and USB connection still not work.
Anyone with knowledge of this old tech can help me figure out a few things ?
At least how to revert it back to normal haha
Thanks
