Hello everybody,
Is it possible that the SD Card's are not working on XP?
I have an entry in my device manager. But if I insert a SD Card it wont work.
Regards,
CodeX2k
XP on the shift reads my smaller cards, 1gb and 4gb, but not my 16gb sdhc. There is an XP sdhc patch available from microsoft, but it made no difference on my shift.
Mine reads 16.
Only after hibernate/sleep I often loose any sd card and I get an error in my device manager.

Stupid me!
Did not see the XP!
Apologizes pls

Right now I can't test if the smaller cards are working. I only have a 16GB SDHC Class 6 with me in my holidays...
Did anyone get SDHC Cards working on XP?
I have the same problem when I installed the XP, SD slot won't read 16G,
But 16G SD card works with my USB card reader. Touch screen also won't work so gave up XP, restored Vista.
Only things won't work for me on XP are SDHC, Resolution Change and the HTC Utility all others works just fine ahhh and Touchscreen Calibration.
Hi @all
***EDIT***
I test now some other drivers, and see: It is really necessary, that you really right update the sdbus driver. I use this one:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67470
and force this driver to update, then if you want to update this driver normally, then the device manger tells you, that no other driver is newer than the installed.
But: I install again from scratch and test a little bit.
I think it is really related to the sdio driver problem when you want to install the WLAN.
But i´m not really shure, it is the right driver.
later more ;-)

SDHC don´t work to by my side. (test with 8GB kensigton) Normal SD e.g. 512MB Cards works.
I comparing the drivers with a other Notebook and i See, on HTC Shift the Driver is originaly from Microsoft build date 10-01-2002. My other Notebook has an driver from 2006 and from company O2Micro.
maybe that´s the Problem. Anybody knows what is the manufacturer of the SD Card Slot?
Can anybody send me the *.inf files from a Vista installed machine? Or have a look to the devicemanager of Vista, which driver is installed?
Additional I See: the driver sdbus.sys located in c:\windows\system32\drivers is the Version 6.0.5308.17 (with SP3) and is newer than the SDHC Hotfix that you can download from Microsoft...
Hmm. crazy..
see here the Microsoft Hofix link: (BTW: there a other hotfixes for SDHC Issues downloadable from MS too)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923293/en-us
It doesn't appear to be limited just to the Shift: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366570
It appears that the hotfix won't work and even the sp3 unless there's a specific fix/driver for the Shift, since Shift is not supported with XP officially, there wouldn't be one from HTC.
P.S. 16GB doesn't work on mine either. Still, not enough to make me go back to the ultra-slow Vista
Hi Doni,
thank you, really interesting. As I install a blank Windows XP SP3 from CD on shift (without additional drivers) , my Kingston 8GB SDHC Card works. (the first time I inserting my SDHC I become a blue screen) but after restart it works.
I think, the SD Card Reader device of Shift is a standard product, that build into other PC´s too, only the way to find out that that´s is the problem
I have some backup´s from my installation and can go back, so I will try it, at which time it has works..
see
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438820
###edit: ###
I test it with fallback to my older backups.
SDHC works, before I Installed the SDBUS.sys driver that is needed to become WLAN functionality. So I think, we must look for a other sdbus.sys driver (file) ?
I'm assuming then that WLAN doesn't work with the SP3 sdbus.sys, right? And the version that does, doesn't work for SDHC. Nice I suppose we need one that does both.
Hi Doni,
i have searched some hours for a solution.
to track the problem was a Everun UMPC http://www.raondigital.com/fnt_english/ev01.asp
essential, where we have stolen the sdbus.sys driver.
If you go there to the support and driver download you see, there is only the "sdbus.sys".
Really interesting, "how to" the normal user can change this file
normally is in a driver package (*.sys) always a *.inf file included, what I missed.
When you change only the *.sys file, maybe you can have problems with it, sometimes, there a difficult or other settings stored in Registry to control this driver.
And this is the problem I´m think. We need an officical *.inf (maybe installed) file from a Raon Everun UMPC.
I install at the moment Vista on shift to fetch the SD Bus settings from Vista side, maybe I become like Jesus and see the holy spirit.. (sorry, only joking)
I think the sdbus drivers of WXP-SP3 are ok, but you need some registry tweaks to control that right. Maybe the *.inf from Vista tell it me.
BTW: I don´t need the sdbus.sys from RAON within my precomiled WXP TPC SP3. WLAN works with the original sdbus.sys as well.
And that´s it: I try this way. Next week I´m on a Business trip, long time in lonesome hotels with long nights..
Always with a 16GB USB Stick and Acronis on it to recover. What need a man more in the City Jungle?

bg Joy
BTW:
WXP SP3 Driver Version 6.0.4069.5 from 2008-10-01 (Y-M-D) (sdbus.sys 6.0.4069.5512 (080413-2111)
Vista (org HTC) Version 6.0.6000.16478 from 2006-06-21 6.0.6000.16478 (vista_gdr.070427-1615)
Vista with SP1 Version 6.0.6000.18000 from 2006-06-21 6.0.6001.18000 (longhorn_rtm.080118-1840)
if you use that in a *.inf file
(make a new inf file with texteditor and copy lines above into it)
than you can install the raeon sdbus.sys driver
normally without windows safe mode...

Ciberycebyte, can you post how you made possible to work with both SD cards (includins SDHC with more than 2GB) and wireless.
Can you post the drivers you used?
Thanks!
It works now check out my patch if you are interested

Hi Unapproachable, where can I find your patch, please? Would you please put up a link to it or attache it here in the theread? Thank you!
EDIT: I've found it! For those interested the patch <SDIO_Fix_01a.zip> can be downloaded from the thread SHDC & Wifi XP Fix located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691208
Great thing Unapproachable2kx, thank you! I'll test it asap and report back.
Unapproachable2kx, is this patch still in the alpha state or is it pretty final?
Hi Unapproachable2kx!
I have tested your patch and I have inconsistent results. This means that I got wifi working (it used to work also before the test) and I got SDHC working once without problems for several insertions and wifi connect-disconnect cycles.
But after reboot and several other reboots the system was self-resetting and restarting when inserting the SDHC card (8GB Kingston). So after 6-7 such auto-resets I gave up using the SD card.
It is good to know for those who want to go that way that even if the wifi is on, the wifi icon doesn't show up in the task bar, so to make it visible you have to disconnect it and reconnect it with the .bat scripts (buttons).
Actually it seems to me that one can get the same results as installing the patch by doing an update of the wifi Marvell driver (which will go from the ionitial version 8.75.500.624 to the latest version 8.75.813.830) via internet (wifi connected) by using the appropriate Update button in the Hardware Manager. After that you have to replace in c:\Windows\System32\Drivers the sdbus.sys used in the wifi installation process (6.0.5308.17) with the initial Win XP SP3 6.0.4069.5512 (if you copied and saved it during the installation). For this replacement no Safe mode appears to be necessary. The same game with stopping and restarting the wifi board is necessary.
Any other's experience please?

Hi joy.d, wonderful thing if working stable.
What is the purpose of getting this new *.inf file, are you trying to replace the initial sdbus.inf file? If so could we start from that one and do only the changes?
Could you please be so kind to attache your *.inf file here in this forum? How did you named it? How to proceed further with it?
What sdbus.sys file did you use, the 4069 or the 5308 version?
Many thanks!

Softick released Card Export 2.15 today and recommended I try it. Sure enough, it works, even on my Mac! There is a catch however, you must enable the following option in Preferences -> Hardware:
- Use Dumb Endpoint
(Alt Init Order may also help if you're having issues, but on my Mac it made no difference either way)
I have attached the .cab since it seems only an exe is available on the website, this should be useful for other Mac users without VirtualPC.
Enjoy!
Nope, doesnt work with my T-Mobile MDA Vario with latest Qtek ROM.
Same problem as v2.12, it hangs when you get the balloon with 'Found new USB device'. I used an Acer Travelmate laptop with Windows XP Pro with latest patches.
Thanks mate...
Works like a dream, solved part of my mac/WM5 problems, now sync to entourage is the only one left...
Do not suppose you got a wondersolution to that Sprezzatura
I mean MissingSync and PocketMac does not yet.
Thanks again for the tip off...

I had the same issue until i read a post on the Softick forum. Softick support and another user suggested enabling a combination of "Alt init order" and "Use dumb endpoint" in Card Export Preferences (Hardware tab) as with what sprezzatura posted above.
Now i can use the software perfectly and can swap to / from ActiveSync & Card Export with no problems and no soft resets are required (except for the mandatory reset immediately after installing Card Export)
Goto: http://softick-forum.com/index.php to read what others have said.
Thanks sprezzatura for the heads up that they released the new version.
Cheers,
Chris
p.s. I have tested this and it works for me on every Dell, Toshiba & Clone PC / Laptop i have.
Wicked **** !!
v2.15 works perfect with those 2 settings. Great stuff !!
Hi
As explained here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_USBModem
The driver won't load under Vista with an error "can't find specified file", it looks like the usbser.sys file is missing in Vista.
Has anyone succeeded in getting the TyTN working as a USB modem?
With HSDPA speed, bluetooth isn't fast enough
Maximum speed I've been able to achieve over bluetooth is about 400kbit/s while over USB I can easily get over 1.1Mbit/s
I got it to work in Beta 2 & RC1 but since RC2 I get the same error
I have the same error.
It worked in Beta 2 and RC1 OK, but not in RC2. The error is 'can't find specified file' as noted above.
No one found a solution yet ???

I'm having the same problem after doing a fresh install of build 5744. I had it working on the system before - upgraded from RC1 to 5744, so evidently there is something missing in 5744 that breaks this if installed from scratch.
/POL
here is the same error in 5840, i will wait until RTM version to test it again
guys have you tried installing it while logged in as the 'Administrator' not a different username just added to the Administrators group because as you all know applications being installed are run as standard 'User' privlages until installed by the default 'Administrator' account.
try that and let me know...
Got it working for Vista RC2
You have to first read http://support.microsoft.com/kb/837637 and change your driver INF file accordingly. I have a version of the P2K driver file that recognizes the motorola V360 which I'm attaching for ilustration purposes.
Hope this helps...
Working on Vista RC2 Build 5744
Thanks for that. It's now working in my version of Vista (this post is written whilst using the USB connection).
I used the files attached which I tweaked thanks to xargons17's note.
My tweaks included changing the following so I could check the correct driver was being installed:
[Strings]
PROV = "HTC"
USB\Vid_045E&Pid_0079.DeviceDesc = "RAV Hermes WM5 USB Modem"
USBFilterString ="RAV Hermes WM5 Modem Driver"
and it involved changing the following reference (commenting out usbser.sys,,,0x20):
[UsbModemFiles]
;usbser.sys,,,0x20
;
; Explicitly states the usbser.sys should not be taken from the CD/Disk
;
When installing always choose 'Let Me Pick From A List of Device Drivers On My Computer' option. And choose 'Have Disk' to navigate to the attached .inf file. The device being installed should be the 'RAV Hermes WM5 Modem Driver' or whatever you decide to call it in the [Strings] section. I changed the strings name so I could be certain I was selecting the correct driver/device.
This assumes that the file usbser.sys has been copied to c:\windows\system32 folder as this is hardcoded in the usbmdm.inf file attached. Make sure you have the usbser.sys in that folder before attempting to install.
Hope that's helpful to somebody else.

I had the same problem and ended up buying PDANet which works great! www.junefabrics.com/palmnet/
rav your download is corrupt!!! i am having problems installing the file. not working in vista....
file not working
I tried downloading that file that you had already modded but it was a corrupt zip file. please repack!

I don't get the 'Let Me Pick From A List of Device Drivers On My Computer' option. Windows automatically install the default driver. Even if I uninstall the default driver it still intalls it with out giving me the oprion to pick.

I am also having trouble with Vista USB driver & usbser.sys.
Can anyone please advise on modifying my .inf file?

Easy as ABC to resolve Vista USB problem..
Hi guys, I have been having lots of prblem with USB devices ( pen drive, USB portable HDD, IDE-USB HDD, USB MODEM, PDAs etc.. ) but I have found a simple way to resolve all my problem then going thru different ways to resolve issues caused by different devices..
Please read below:
Special Thanks to: http://teknobabble.wordpress.com/20...ems-installing-a-usb-media-reader-a-solution/
Problem:
•In C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository I had two folders named “usbstor.inf” but each one had a different set of numbers attached to the end of the folder name. <- could this be where part of the problem lies?
•When I looked in my C:\Windows\inf folder I discovered the usbstor.inf and usb stor.pnf files were missing <- this definitely had to be an issue.
Once I discovered these anomalies, I proceeded to copy the pnf and inf files from the most recently updated usbstor.inf folder to C:\Windows\inf. I then went back to the update driver wizard, pointed to the inf folder and what do you know but they all started working again.
So with some scepticism I tried this approach and it worked.
I have also attached a ZIP(.doc) file with screen shot for easier reference.
Hope this helps everyone....
Apology for the late reply.
I attached more files to share.
-=SAVE THE WORLD=-
Hi!
I followed all hints, but it doesn't work. The driver can not be installed says Vista. Files are placed in the correct folders.
HTC has release a zip with the drivers, but i can't find it on the web, does anyone have it and could post it?
Thanks

Think you that it is possible to make goes out that Cruise becomes " a classic key USB ". Roughly be able to connect him to a pc and put it given as one can make him on a key USB ?
Do a search for WM5Storage. That program will do what you are looking for.
wm5orage and Card Export do not work on the Polaris. Supposedly Softick is working an a new version of Card Export that will be compatible with the Polaris.
Effectively, I found the WM5 I owe tried later. Thank you for the info,
My PC sees well the reader G but when I click above he asks me " to Insert a disk into the reader G " .En more before disconnecting, I pass by the utility of XP and I see the reader.
I have the same problem and looking for a solution.
Yes, always the same problem...
I have changed my pc with XP for a new with Vista, and no problem. But There is many machine with XP on the planete.
I have Vista and don't work properly for me
Do you guys read?

Look at the last message in the thread.

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"

Sascha
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.

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??

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
Can anyone suggest a WM6.5 compatible wifi card?
are you sure ones made for wm5 and wm6.1 don't work ?
the driver model changed with the move from windows CE4 to CE5 with wm5
but since wm6.5 still use CE5 older drivers could easily work

I've got an old SanDisk CF card, the drivers install but inserting the card, WM6.5 says it's unrecognised and asks me to name it.
I've tried naming it the same as the driver installs but had no joy getting it to work.
do you know what chipset of the sandisk cf is?, I've just bought an pretty old xi-825 with intersil prism 2.5 chipset, i search through the net and found a driver for asus wl-110 from asus homepage, it says CE 4.2 but i can get it working with those...
When ask its name usually write the driver filename, in its case is prismnds.dll, but you need to install the .cab with drivers first, soft reset and insert the CF card, and put the filename...
