Broken Touchscreen/LCD Backup possible? - Touch HD General

Hi,
the Display of my HD is broken and I but can start the device, but can not handle it.
So I Can Not backup my Contacts from the Device to my Computer, because of the system password which is necessary to start Windows Mobile 6.1
It is possible to start the HD in a 'Safe Mode' like Windows to backup all Files from the HDD of my device to my computer (without 'active sync')?
At the moment when I connect the HD to my computer via USB the device is identified as an extern HDD.
Thanks for your help!

Erm i think you'd need to have active-sync connection to be able to do anything like that. Otherwise you'll just have to wait for new lcd and repair it.
EDIT: Have you not got them stored on SIM card to use in other phone?

Unfortunately not.
All contacts are in the device memory.
How do the professionals in the repaircenter backup my data before they repair/open the device?

They don't.

Download http://www.mymobiler.com/ and see if you can control your device from your pc.

Yeah i was thinkin along them lines, but then you'd need bluetooth to be on and visible, maybe he hasn't as its a battery waste to leave it on.

Mmm you don't need to put in your startup password for Activesync to work.
So maybe the problem is with his usb connection if all he can see is the phone as a hdd.

Problem is that i selected to use the device as hdd last time i connected with usb.
When i start the handy i hear the boot-sound, but i cant see anything.
So i need a option to skip the system password or start the handy via USB like a Bootloader or something else and copy all files from device to my pc.

Did you try http://www.mymobiler.com/ anyway ?

Andrew

I installed My Mobiler on my Computer and startet it.
Connected my HD to my Computer and the Computer detected the HD as extern HDD.
My Mobile on my Computer didnt recognize my HD.
MyMobile>Connect: Your Mobile may not be connected or ActiveSync connection is busy now. If the problem persists, please restart 'MyMobiler'
MyMobile>Configure Mobile>Install: PLease wait...Reinstalling MyMobiler on your mobile...... Unable to install....
Seems i can not skip my password.

I would delete and reinstall activesync and try again.

(don't give up)

i have windows 7 and no active sync running.
same problem unter windows vista.

So you are using Mobile device centre ?
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-synch.mspx

Problem is i selected "use hd as extern hdd" and not activesync last time i connected via USB.
So on the one hand when i connect hd to computer its everytime detected as hdd because i cant use the touchscreen to selected the other option('activesync')
one the other hand i have to unlock via password the activesync connection if i could build up it.

yes indeed

Well I use XP and activesync.
Question - Has your phone worked previously syncing with Windows Mobile Device Centre ok ?

yes latest sync is from june 2009

Well I hope someone with your operating system reads this and can help more.
All I know is with Windows 7 and Vista you have to ensure your firewall settings allow the connection and some AV programmes can interfere - hope this helps.

just an advice for everybody.
make a backup every once in a while.
i for example i use Microsoft MyPhone and even if my HD or my sim card gets torched or kidnapped i will still be able to acces my contacts,photos,documents,sms etc. on the myphone webpage.
realy cool right?
so if you did use MyPhone then you can see your contacts.
good luck.

I think I've just thought of a solution for you...
Windows Mobile uses the "2577" directory, if it exists, in the root of your SD card to autorun installation scripts from. When I disconnect my HD from my PC in USB storage mode, the 2577 directory is read and installation files are executed.
It may be possible to run a mortscript or a cab file from there that will either back up your PIM data, or change the USB function back to Activesync - probably the latter is easier as I'm guessing it would just be a reg key that needs changing.

Acessing Folders in 'MY WINDOWS DEVICE'

Hi im new to this forum, but it comes highly recommended.
Im having trouble accessing my files on the smartphone through my PC. I had the phone previously before i gt a new one and by going to the my mobile device folder in my computer i could access all the files on the phone when it was connected. Though now on the same phone bt everytime i try to access these files the window itself just closes. I am able to do everything else on the phone but to put mp3 I have to use windows media player and place it on the storage card.
I have tried everyhing from reseting the phone to its original status and upgrading the rom. Please can some one help me as I like to use this way to transfer films and videos to the phone and check other folders. Or if anyone knows of another way to transfer movie files and mp3s to the phone.

It does not seem like there is something wrong with your phone but with your desktop! Try to delete the partnership in ActiveSync.
If you have the know-how you also might remove the drivers for your mobile device manually on your desktop.
uninstall ActiveSync completely and then reinstall (maybe the latest version???)
At least I would try that first ...
How would I remove the drivers from my mobile device manually on the desktop.
I have already unistalled the active sync and downloaded the latest version but i'll try it again.
Thankyou
What phone do you have, what version of ActiveSync do you use, and how do you connect to your PC (USB or BT)?
I have an O2 xda mini, I connect via usb and I have version 4.5 of active sync.
Did you delete the partnership yet? After deleting the partnership, can you connect as a guest and then access your phone via Windows explorer?
I just deleted the partnership and tried going through windows explorer. Once I click on mobile device and go into the folder. The same thing happens as when there is a partnership. I click to go into a folder (any folder) and the windows explorer crashes and the error report comes up asking me to debug or send error report. This is a constant thing no matter what i try
Do you have access to another computer? If so, try using that one. If you don't have any problems, then the problem lies in your computer. I recommend getting a registry cleaner to scan and repair any registry errors.

Cant connect to AS 4.5

First of all i really want to thank all the Helmi_c and all the developers; My BA is most updated running wm6.
Well much better than wm5 but I have some issues:
1. cant sync it with my PC in anyways (BT, usb etc), USB drivers are not working correctly.
2. sometimes when i pick or dial a call, i cant hear nething.
and last but not relevant to this, guys how do i stop my BA slider from falling down when I use keyboard.
1. Try delete the actual partnership in AS, sync again; if not reinstall AS on PC
2. No problem here with the sound.
same problem here
I upgraded my XDA2s, customized it,backedup, then upgraded my brothers XDA2s and used my customized backup on his XDA2s.
Now my XDA connects fine, but his doesn't !!!
Both our XDa2s's are identical in everyway.
tried a hard reset and restore from another backup and still no luck!
we were trying to save time re-installing the same softwares.
tried deleting partnerships, no luck. tried spb backup and clone, no luck.
any ideas!
Do you get any error messages on AS? Can you browse the internet from device?
usb drivers
can anybody post usb drivers i think this is the problem cause my device isnt installed properly it says problem with inf file.
whoever is able to connect his device to xp desktop via active sync usb connection, please copy the drivers folder contents from program files in active sync folder.
thanks, hope this works
Is your windows firewall enabled? Since WM6 activesync makes use of a LAN connection to sync with the PC, you must allow activesync trough the windows XP firewall, or disable the windows XP firewall completely...
no sound problems with me...
did you try to install WM6_SoundFix_.cab ?

vista don't recognize hermes

Please note that with the "old" notebock, with vista too, i have use the Hermes without problem.
Just connect via usb and all works fine.
Now with the new notebock (same os (wm6.0 in ppc, and vista home in the notebock)) i have problems.
Vista dont recognize hermes.
so i cant connect ppc to notebock.
Some ona have idea how can i do a connection and a sync with vista.
Ps
i have install the wmdc but dosent works.
Please help.
pps
i have try to unceck enable advanced network funcionality, but when i do this i receive this error:
Fallied to disable RNDIS to use serial.
nobody can help me?
Damn
im going be crazy.
if i use internet sharing and conect the pda with notebook all works fine.
Pc find the rnids device and i can go to internet.
But if i try to sync the pc dont reconize the ppc...
welcom to the VISTA world
I've had nothing but issues with Vista and WM6 on my Hermes.
The few things I can suggest.
1) As you say Disable the Advanced networking....
2) Connect directly to a USB port, not through a hub.
3) Try soft-resetting your phone between connection attempts.
4) Remove associations between Vista and your phone.
I find that the first time I connect it everything's good, but on subsequent attempts it's hit and miss.
If you are using vista, there's an update for Windows Mobile software on the microsoft website.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx
you need to install 6.1 for it in order for WM6 to work with vista.
Cheers

If he is using the same version of WM Device center on both computers and i am assuming he is, then i doubt it will fix the problem by downloading the latest version as i have that version installed on both my pc's.
I had the same problem, where windows just detected the device as an unknown device and therefore wouldnt let me sync.
right click on my computer and click manage, then plug in your device and see if you have any unknown devices appearing if you do right click on it and click uninstall then unplug the device and wait 10 seconds then plug it back in, this solved it for me. Although i still have to do this every so often. But at least it allows me to sync with both my pc's

1. Soft reset your HD & restart your PC. If not working,
2. Go to HDsettings/connections/USB to PC and un-tick "Enable faster data sync".
Maybe it will work...
Also, go to connection settings in activesync and ensure that "allow usb connections" is enabled
thanks man, but I try that a million time but dosn't work (I have expirience with rooting and flashing roms on my xperia)
it is set just like that but still dosn't working any other idea?
FIREWALL - can block comunications.
It would also help if you state your PC OS.
From ActiveSync I guess it's Windows... but which one?
And does your PC recognize HD in "disc drive mode"?
Ah... I have not heard it yet, but antivirus may be guilty here too...
i try on windows xp, i try on windows 7 but nothing happands when I plug in it in to the PC in every mode, disc drive, active sync...
and i try it with disabled firewall and my anti virus but still nothing, but usb port is working for charging the battery
i recommend for u a program its name (pim backup) its making a backup for ur contacts and calender and call history and all ur favorites things
try to search it and if i find it i will send u the link its petter 1000 times then the active sync
1. Try another USB cable
2. Try on another PC
Regarding PIM Backup I also recommend it, but it can not replace sync with Outlook...
Umm... I guess you use original HTC ROM, since you want to "root it". Which ROM?
I need active sync to root my hd not to beck up files from my phone, can this program do that?
Yes I am using original ROM version:1.14.479.3(25874)wwe
radio version:1.09.25.14
I had tryed on 3 diferent PC's everywhere is the same, but I don't have another cabel to try
and i have new problem, I lost signal of the network on my HD, my phone is dieing
NEED A HELP!
If you're having problems connecting the phone to your PC via USB, and now it's having connectivity problems to your network provider, I'd say it needs a visit to the service centre for repair.
I think that is my only solution
try to wipe device and hard retart your device
Hm, yes... if hard reset does not help, then service is the next step...
And any mini USB cable will do... I'm using one from my Olympus camera...
I try hard reset million times, still nothing... thanks guys but I think that the servis is the only solution
I have try with another usb cable, but still nothing, the problem is not in the cable...
Then it's service...

[Q] i cannot sync my htc hd2

hello i just get my htc hd2 and i want to install apps and games and do all those stuff that are in this website.. (put android....etc....)
but i cant because i cannot open Windows mobile device center... i have windows 7 ultimate 64-bit OS.... i have tried thousands of methods to make it work and i still cant!!... the WMDC icon appears in the all programs list but i click it and nothing happens... also there is a folder named windows mobile and the C:\Windows... but nothing works!!... i connect my HTC HD2 and run it in Sync mode and in Storage Mode and nothing happens again !
IM SO DESESPERATE!!!
if someone could help me i would be so happy thanks...
if need more info just tell me!
Try a few things-
1-Check to see if you have the latest version of WMDC, which is version 6.1
2-Reinstall WMDC if you do indeed have the latest version
3-Goto device manager and delete your Windows phone from your PC
4-It may be your device, try a hard-reset if that up there fails
5-and finally, if ALL ELSE fails, it may be your USB connector on your phone is bad. We have seen this quite a few times, seems to be a fairly common problem.
One other possibility.... the ugly truth is that I have to uninstall my antivirus program everytime I flash my rom and create a new partnership with WMDC. UGH!! this was microsoft's only answer to the problem. Please try it before you do a hard reset.
for me it never syncs (after a new flash) until i
settings menu all settings connection usb to pc
untick"enable faster data"
if you have connected the phone before doing this, reboot both the phone and the pc and try again.
I was having what I think is the same problem. Try going to setting (the tab in Sense) and select other. There is an icon that says something like usb-computer open that and de-select speed up ActiveSync conectivity or something along thoes lines.
I was able to sync after that.
