WM5storage is working...

I was a wm5storage user ( http://www.modaco.com/index.php?automodule=downloads&showfile=1702 ) with my k-jam. (it converts temporally your storage card in a USB disk, plug an play in any windows Me - XP - 2000 - 2003 - Mac OSes)
No way to use it with TyTN. After this article ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=62408&highlight= ) I tried unchecking advanced USB functions in Settings>connections>usb to PC...
And now it works! Great to have it again, I don't need to have the USB dongle and is easy again exchanging files between any PC and my Phone!

Great finding!!! Works fine on my TyTN too after disabling adv usb func
I've also updated the FAQ on the wiki...
I'm _VERY_ happy!! Thanks!! :lol:

When I uncheck the "enable advanced network functionality" I get an
error message "Failed to disable RNDIS to use serial"
M3100 using HTC rom
any ideas?

I've I-mate ROM, but may be you're trying to uncheck while something is in-use...

What is advanced USB settings needed for? Must be there for some reason, so just wondering what turning it off might effect?

It is explained here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=62408
Basically, with advanced settings turned on you get a USB-Lan when connect your device to PC, if it is disabled you get the same behaviour as in previous WM2003 activesync. See the url above for more detailed explanation.

unchecked, installed, activated - PC shows new drive named Removable Disk (H but it is not accessible
Any ideas?
GRRR! damn smiley

Cheers pof, it all becomes clear! I will be WM5storaging!

So has anybody found a legitimate reason why you need to ENABLE advanced network functionality?
It seems to interfere with a lot of things (WM5Storage, SpriteBackup, Exchange Server Sync)...

Doesn't seem to be working properly for me. I switch on WM5 storage on my Vario II, connect the USB and it shows up as new hardware and installes Herme300 device as mass storage but it shows up as 0 bytes and there is no directory structure. Any ideas?

I tested in 3 Hermes device, HTC and I-Mate Rom, XP and XP Pro and even in VISTA and works
Whe I activate it I have a WM5storag HERM200 USB device in My computer panel, working and showing SD card content.
Have you:
1) 1.72 Sw version
2) checked removable class
3) DSK1:/SD memory card
4) Mounted EXT_ROM?

It also works under Linux

Ah, I hadn't mounted EXT_ROM. Is that essential? I didn't notice that in the WM5 thread.

No, isn't. Sometimes WM5storage keeps EXT_ROM as default disk, and this gives problems

What does this mean?

Nope definitely does NOT work.
1) Version 1.72
2) Removable Class is checked
3) DSK1:/SD Memory Card selected
This loads as a USB mass drive labelled at Herme300 but shows 0bytes used 0bytes free.
Wonder if it is different on a Hermes 300 series????

mine doesn't work as well.
Sometimes, if i'm lucky it works for a while... but only able to work like 1 second.
I manage to copy some files like less than 100kb.
But after trying to enter a folder, my USB drive content just disappears... though it still appears as a drive in My Computer.

Did you uncheck the "advanced USB functions" in Settings>connections>usb to PC ?
That was exactly the same behaviour I was getting before, but all worked fine when I unchecked it.
Which rom are you using? Probably is a t-mob's rom only fault? :?

Connect the phone to the PC, and connect it as storage drive
Then it acts like a normal flash drive

Do you mean click on disk drive(mount as disc drive). I tried this and nothing happens! Where do I find htc sync

OK found instructions in quick start

DONE
Thanks for help

[Q] Sync Internal Storage over ActiveSync ...

Is there a way (tool) to (automatically) synchronize the internal storage (xda touch diamond) to my hdd in activesync mode?
I don't want to switch my diamond always to hdd-mode, when I would make a backup.

Or is there a way to map the internal storage while in activesync-mode on a drive letter?

You can try this tool

Is there any solution?

Thank you for your reply.
This tool is interesting, and would be helpful if my xda diamond is in hdd-mode. But I am searching for a tool that could synchronize via activesync.
The perfect tool I imagine would synch all changed data on internal storage of the xda diamond to the hdd of my pc while activesync is active.
Is this utopistic?

The only option i have is connect storage to USB? Will my SD card connect with is option? There is not nother options.
QUOTE=stoney73;15016069]look in settings/wireless&network/usb utilities.[/QUOTE]

Yes, this will attach the device.memory & your storage card to the computer. The storage card should be your last disk drive under removable storage in Windows 7/Vista.

In this mode I can see the disks but without access them (win xp), I m using this mode to play with "adb"....
so to make it active as disk drive I need open notification bar etc etc.. most of the time I just need connect to PC as disk drive, so whatever u do it's very annoing
Even in my 5 years old HTC P3300 WM I had this option
Is there any way to make it default as disk drive or application that will ask me what to connect with one press key?
I meant without open notification bla bla, I counted 4 presses till u
get it as usb drive:
1. shift screen right
2. open notification
3. press usb connected
4. again, connect USB storage

Fingers are there to be used. Don't be lazy. It's only 4 swipes/presses of your one finger.

How can i activate the menu with the options: use as diskdrive, sync, use as internet modem?

[Q] How to show HD2 as drive letter on PC?

I want to recover some photos from an HD2 internal phone memory ( not SD) and that's impossible without PC detects that phone as drive.
For Windows phones 7 & 8 there is solution: http://www.asoftech.com/articles/windows-phone-enable-mass-storage.html , but not for WM 6.x .

not sure if this is what you're looking for, but try a program called "wm5torage" on your hd2.

i vaguely recall that when the usb cable is connected in activesync mode, then the activesync software on the desktop/laptop provides an interface to browse the file system of the device. i'm not sure but i think this browsing includes the device partitions as well.

If you haven't touched your device since october, there is a chance that the photos are still in your NAND internal memory.
you could dump your memory using wince tools here http://itsme.home.xs4all.nl/projects/xda/ then use a hexeditor to go through the dump and find the photos. I have not tried any of this, and it won't be easy, you will have to do some research, but it might work.
