I'm having some trouble getting WM5torage to work on my 614c. I think it's because HP has their own method of handling USB connections, I don't know. Has anyone been able to use this program on their iPAQ?
I am using WM5torage v1.8 on my 614C without any problems. I use this with the positive results on all ROMs: official 6.0 and unofficial 6.1. Works like charm. I use SanDisk 8GB.
During connection I have only one check box marked: RemovableClass and then of course: disk1: / SD Memory Card. Both LEDs are set to off.

Hm, yeah, I'm using the same settings but it's not working. Are you using XP or Vista?

Vista (Destktop PC), WinXP (Laptop) and Win2000 (Laptop)
what transfer speeds do you get? USB 2 or USB1?
I use WM5torage 1.8 and it works finesame settings as Bigu and even a 8gb scandisk card too, but i only get USB1 transfer speeds.
Works fine on XP Desktop and Laptop and Vista Laptop.
Well, after a hard reset, it's working fine now. I have NO IDEA what is different now than before. The only thing I can think of is I installed Mbarvian's Opal USBtoPC before WM5torage. It didn't work but now 5torage does! Thanks for everyone's responses.

Hi,
Just like the new feature in WM5 "USB Mass Storage Device" there is a software package which does the same.
It turns the USB port of your Pocket Pc in a Dumb USB Memory stick. Check out http://www.softick.com/pocket-pc/cardexport2/
BUT Sadly.... the site say's the following:"i-Mate
Model Processor type Test result Notes
Jam Intel PXA27x Doesn't work yet
So I need other potential users who think they gonna buy the software when it works on the Magician! They say We are permanently developing support for the new devices. Tell us what device support do you need.
Drop them a Mail or message on http://www.softick.com/pocket-pc/cardexport2/ and hopefully they will develop soon a nice to have tool (and long waited for one) for the Magician!
Or maybe somebody else knows a alternative (yeah yeah, i would like to say the wm5 will come soon to the magician)
Take care , Tom from Holland
Stupid me, Didn;t use the search option long enough, find a cross posting : http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=23233 was allready there. Looks like they fixed the [problem, unofficial it works now thanx to DES.
If I read from the website :
Accessing storage card has never been easier!
Switch USB mode from Active Sync to Card Export
Insert your Pocket PC into cradle or connect to USB cable
And after few seconds desktop drivers automatically mount cards as a logical disk!
What is special in it? Cant you do it using ActiveSync?

Not all machines have ActiveSync installed. With Card Export installed, you ppc can be treated as a card reader (no driver for Win2k or above).
Using card export for Car Radio's.
Is there someone who tested it also with USB Car Radio systems? They sell car radio's where you can put in your USB key/stick and the Car radio starts playing the MP3 songs on that stick!
It would be awesome if you could connect you Jam to you radio system this way!
Take Care, Tom from Holland.
I Got a quick and complete answer back from them!
A reply for my request:
Dear Tom
This letter contains a reply to your request support to Softick Support Team.

Thank you for your request.
As far as I know, Card Export II should work with Car radio, because we have reports that Card Export II for Palm OS works with Car radio. Anyway, you'll be able to download trial version and try it before buying.
We are planning to support your device in our updated version today or tomorrow.
Sincerely yours
G M

How do I switch form Active Sync to card export?
Typically RTFM!
Or start CE2 on your magician, you'll get a icon in your tray, tick it and setup preferences & default card. Then tick Card Export in the same menu. Now your magacian isn't using the SD anymore. On your PC disable AS usb connection & plugin the usb at both ends. Now your mass storage device will be installed.
regards, M
So this is not possible without CE?

Not everyone has a card reader at home and not everyone has activesync installed. i.e. i use CE when i'm at university and i need to bring my work with me, or when i'm at one of my friends' home and he shows me his latest mp3 collection...
I don't usually bring a usb key with me (and even when i do, my key has only 128MB Vs my jam SD card's 1GB) while my jam is ALWAYS with me. Sure, you'll need a mini usb cable but, fortunately, many digital cameras, scanners, printers and so on have one.
That said, I think CE is one of the most useful programs out there.
Just my two cents...
Bye bye,
Isidoro
PS: starting from 2.04, Card ExportII is FULLY compatible with our Magicians.
PS2: I'm DEFINITELY NOT a CE developer!!! Bye

I agree CE is the best option (I'm still in the trial period), only having WM5 & CE apparently being not compatible you need that card-reader or settle for low speed LOL
First advantage of not having WM5 second is VGS push-mail
Perfect. I just tried it, and it works flawlessly straight out of the box.

On what device?
i-Mate JAM, ROM 1.12.00 WWE, Radio 1.12.10, ExtROM 1.12.149 WWE.
Now, all I need is USB host support
I've read somwhere that Windows Mobile 5 has built-in support for actiing ass a usb mass storage device.
Is this true?
How do I activate it, when connecting to a computer (win xp, win2003, OS X.3)the device gets listed as GENEREIC RNDIS.
Qtek 9100
Windows mobile 5 (norwegian)
Kingston 1GB miniSD card
You can always try Softick Card Export if you don't succeed.

Last time i checked, unfortuantely CE wasn't compatible with windows mobile 5.

Sorry,
Try writing an e-mail to the developer, like des did. Maybe it helps.

WM 5.0 as USD Device
What a dream, how nice if WM 5 did support USB devices or memory readers, transfer files from Camera etc without removing cards.
I havce seen 3rd party freeware downloads that allow a pocket pc , magician/universal to act a usb drive from a PC.
Not sure if thats what you mean. Easier than having to go through activesync.
Wish my pda supported usb 2 go for backups.
CE2 is such a product, although not free & the only one I know off. If you found another one & post it you make a lot of people happy.
Regards, M
You're talking about using the Wizard as a mass storage device, rather than using mass storage devices on the client, aren't you?
The Zaurus range can do this, all you need to do is tell the device to act as mass storage. How you enable it on the wizard is beyond my knowledge, but I guess you'll need to either poke in the registry or use some switching software.
It'd be neat if you can do this!
Whats wrong with using Explore under Active sync... or even a short cut to it... I do.
Terran
You need active sync installed and that is not available for OS X or Windows Server 2003 without SP1
Result I can't connect to my computer at work, or my laptop at home.
Only computer willing to sync is my old winxp box which is downgraded from home computer to file and webserver.
Andreas
Don't know what the wizard speeds are, on a magician it's too [email protected] slow!
I also read that it should be possible to use the mda compact II as a mass storage device, without any extra software. But I didn't find the option now...
MAybe they will add it in a later rom-version (I hope so..)
But honestly I don't think they will do this, so we have to hope that
softtick will program it for use

with the Eten M500 it was possible to use it as a USB host, so connecting eg your USB cable from your digital camera directly to your pocket PC. But now, with the new Eten M600 this nice functionality has been lost...
So I think this was a specific device functionality, which was made by Eten for the M500, but I doubt it is a standard WM 5 functionality...
CIAO!

I have managed to network my wizard and my powerbook using the wifi connection quite sucessfully. I can log into my account and access the harddrive volumes. Still can't sink with contacts though.

Hello,
There are some tools available out there to disable ActiveSync and convert the storage of the device to a PC as a Mass Storage. This way you don't have to put the miniSD on the SD adaptor to access it...
WM5torage version 1.6 is working fine with HTC Wizard, but doesn't work with HTC Hermes:
http://www.modaco.com/WM5torage-t238545.html
Softick Cardexport 2.18 for pocketPC also works on HTC Wizard, I tried the trial version on my TyTN and I can see the folders but then it hungs, it is impossible to transfer files:
http://www.softick.com/pocket-pc/cardexport2/
Anyone knows a working solution for this?
EDIT: as reported here by sergiopi, WM5torage can be used after unckecking advanced USB functions in Settings > connections > usb to PC.
...if you've got the newest aku3 you probably need following tread. I've found this one in another one...
http://forum.parallels.com/thread2743.html
It seems that i cant uncheck "usb to pc": RNDIS konnte für serielle Verbindung nicht deaktiviert werden.
Any suggestions?
Ok, I was actually having this problem myself (phone arrived yesterday as an upgrade to a wizard, and I love my wm5torage).
When it connected with wm5torage 1.6 enabled, my laptop identified it as a USB mass storage device but couldn't mount it. It also crashed RAIMGR on the laptop when disconnecting the phone from ActiveSync, so I wanted an easier way to add programs to the phone.
Anyway, long story short, it wouldn't work so I opened
Start Menu -> Settings -> Connection -> USB to PC
and unchecked "Enable advanced network functionality". I have not had a problem enabling/disabling this feature, so if you are having a problem I would guess that it is "in use" by something on your phone. I'd guess ActiveSync or Pocket Outlook are loaded on the phone and tieing it up.
You might want to try rebooting and seeing if that solves the problem.
(Re-reads thread : Really should read properly the first time. Meh )
strange. ive got my 8525 to work fine with wm5torage. i had problems before i upgraded to a wm6 rom but everything seemed to be fine after i did an upgrade.
Had similar problems in hermes hence came upon this thread. Version 1.8 works fine on hermes. Just disable concurrency and RNDIS on activate, its all under troubleshooting.
Hope it helps out someone out there

this is exactly what i did. and it helped. no need to uncheck any stuff in connections
I am getting CRC errors when transferring data
I just ordered a macbook which i will be using as my primary computer for school and other things. I will be booting up windows xp to work with my cingular 8525 and that is fine with me. I do however want to be able to use my phone as a modem within mac osx tiger. Is this possible? I'm ok with either bluetooth or usb, although i would prefer both if its possible. Is it possible?
Thanks.

Hi there,
tried the new darkforces rom for Kaiser which had the USB to PC in it.
Would like to use it on other Roms, too.
Anyone knows where to get the cab?
Thank in advance

Just tested on my Kaiser with (almost) stock WM6.1 ROM and it doesn't work.... It amost does; Windows discovers the hardware and says a new USB disk has been connected but it can't see the contents and says the drive is 0-bytes in size.
When I installed the .cab of WM5torage (with the CardExport II drivers) I had the same behaviour. I know the Kaiser isn't on the list of supported devices (only the Titan and Vogue are listed) but it would be great if this was fixed.
This is pretty much the last thing I need to make my ROM complete.....
Andy
I've used Nue's USB to PC utility through a cooked rom on my Sprint Touch and while it worked fine, the transfer speeds were slow; approximately 500kb/s transfer rate.
same problem with my kaiser.
wm5torage doesnt work too.
CardExport it's not free but been the only way on Kaiser\Tilt to have mass storage, the device is missing a driver that CardExport has.
