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 .

yes it is off modaco and it does connect like a usb stick; its just that it doesnt maintain this connection during file transfer and gives the error mentioned above

Try these...

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

[Q] Problem flashing MDJ NAND

hey guys,
i gave windows phone 7 a try for some days, but now want to come back to android NAND.
Problem is that i can not flash the rom. i go into magldr, choose usb flasher, phone says wait USB...USB. i start install.exe and the android flasher hangs at "waiting for usb connection..." it fails with error description: usb init failed.
i flashed a win mobile 6.5 and started from the very beginning with new radio, reinstall magldr, format sd card...but still the same error!
can anyone help me please?

When you get the USB...USB appear, turn off USB connections with ActiveSync or WMDC. For some reason, it needs to be enabled to make the connection, but disabled to work!
Hope this helps.

hey,
thanks for reply...unfortunately it has no effect!
I am running WinXP, can this be the problem? But the Installer for Windows Phone 7 ROM, which looks predominantly the same for me, has no problems to establish the connection...i can start it right after the error message from android installer and it works...
i also tried another android NAND but comes to the same end. seems that i am forced to decide between winmobile 6.5 oder 7...no android anymore

It shouldn't be a problem. I did the same as you, but it worked fine for me. I flashed from WP7 straight to a NAND Android ROM, and I have XP as well.
Strange that disabling USB connections in ActiveSync didn't work, as I can reproduce the issue 100% and fix it 100% with that 1 setting.
I do know that lots of people have been reporting issues with the "usb init failed" error, so I guess you'll have to do some searching and reading.

what do you mean with disable usb connection in active sync? i could not find any icon in taskbar for active sync, so i killed every task with belongs to active sync?
hope the effect was the same
i will try it on another pc, maybe some adjustments are wrong on mine after flashing that lot...or i will come back to win phone 7 and try to flash android straight to that, just like you! hope one of it will work

Make sure ActiveSync is running and right-click it in the system tray and select "Connection settings". Make sure "Allow USB connections" is ticked. Then, start Magldr menu, select USB flasher and connect. It should say "USB...USB". When it does, reopen the connection settings for ActiveSync and turn off "Allow USB connections". You should then be able to flash Android.

Thanks for patience...you are the fu**ing man!!! IT WORKS!!! Thanks a lot...
But...what a mistake? who should know to unckeck that in active sync...
"The Devil is plugged in the Detail" we say in german free translation of me
Saved my day...thanks

Solution Wifi Android 2.2 Schlunds

I have no permissions to publish to HD Mini ROM Development, published the solution here.
I have the solution to put wifi in Android 2.2 of Schlunds, the problem is in the process "htcUPCTLoader.exe" not allowed to continue with the process.
The assignment of IP must be static, do not get the IP automatically
Here I leave kernel with the new install
TESTED ONLY WITH ANDROID 2.2 Schlunds
Sorry for my bad English

hey thanks man
maybe u will find a fix for derefas sd card fix too?

Does not work for me. The zImage and Module are exactly the same files I use.
The Problem ist not the htcUPCTLoader.exe process.
tzacapaca send me his working 2.2. image and it still dont work for me.
The reason must be something else...
Perhaps bootloader or startup.txt?

Or the Windows Mobile rom used?
After trying the Android images, I had a lot of GPS issues under WinMo (not working anymore). At the end it was fixed, but could it be that the WinMo roms can be of influence on Android?

I start to believe is this...i'm gonna use use Stock ROM and i will keep you posted if it will be any changes

nsourm has a dualbootloader in his ROM
Maybe its better to boot Android not from "within" WinMo.
Can someone test that?

In my case the prob was "htcUPCTLoader.exe" it was not allowing deamon to start..so i had to kill it and then run the run.bat file....
Can u try it this way..??..connecting the Mini with pc..running run.bat...after that killing htcUPCTLoader.exe process in task manager..and then running run.bat file again..??.... it might work....if not..then there's no harm done

I dont need to try. The kernel module file (*.ko) in the image is updated. So the problem (at least for me) is not adb push. must be something different.

Codiak, your not alone. I am also not able to turn WiFi on. Do you get Error when you go to the settings to turn it on? It's like its not picking up the WiFi on the mobile.

The only thing I changed was adding in the run.bat
Code:
taskkill / F / IM htcUPCTLoader.exe
On beginning of everything, to finish the process before starting the adb. I haven't touched anything of the files zImage and adb.exe

This is my system (android 2.2) running Wifi.

Its the same behavior as the fixed module was not installed.
If you tab Wifi, it just grays out and do nothing. No error message.

See, im on the standard ROM. And no matter what I try, I get the same.

Ok, so it not seem to be WiMo ROM related. I use a custom one.
So my last idea is the bootloader (haret)...

Okay everybody, I noticed something:
I could patch the bcm4329.ko file, after android booted. Now you have to restart android in order to enable wlan. Often it happend to me, that an error in the android wifi settings showed up. So I went back to windows mobile and checked my wifi setting there.
As I've also encountered the GPS problem, where one had to switch GPS on and off again in android to make it work in windows again I also tried it with wlan. Before I run haret, I switched off wlan in windows. Now android was able to initialize and start wlan.
Also it was not possible for me to enable wifi, if the usb cable was still connected to the phone before the first successful operation of wlan. Afterwards it surprisingly also worked with a connected cable. Since I'm at work now, I can not test wlan itself, as it is only possible to connect via DCHP here. This evening I'll try to do so with a static IP.
By the way, this dynamic vs. static IP thing is a common problem in froyo. You'll find a lot of discussions in the internet for other devices like samsung galaxy and so on.

It worked, mine no longer displays as error. But I dont have any WiFi's to connect to as im also at work. But it looks much more promising.
Just we need to start looking into getting the battery reconised by Android, having to go into Windows to charge my phone.

Dont work for me My Wifi in WiMo was allready off. I changed it to on and booted Android = no luck. Rebooted to WiMo and disabled Wifi and booted Android again = no luck.
Did you get a error message before while switchig wifi on in android? I do not get a message. it just grays out

Unfortunately there wasn't any precise error message. As you said it only was greyed out with "Fehler" (error) written below the wlan switch. It's strange that there still isn't any solution working for everyone.

For me, no "Fehler" came up. Just grayed out. Same behavior like I never applied the patched module. But i can see the patched .ko file in the phone
I´m using tzacapaca patched ext2 file that works for him...

[Q] Windows Phone Device Manager for XBmod V1.10 HTC HD2 WP7

I already know alot of people have asked about Windows Phone Device Manager, and from everwhere I have looked most everyone is having the same issue where you connect your phone and the device manager says "UNABLE TO LAUNCH TOUCHXPERIENCE". I was originally running a DFT NODO Rom, of WP7, then today, I saw the XBmod V1.10, wich says, "COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS PHONE DEVICE MANAGER"!!!!! I Flashed the Rom, and same issue, I have done everything the developer said to do, Installed the Reg. Fix, etc...., They are saying it is the ROM Developer, and not his issue? My question is, has anyone installed this Rom. (XBmod V1.10), The latest one, and actually had WPDM Work? Or is everyone having the same issue?
I am Running an HTC HD2 WP7 XBmod V.1.10/ Dual Boot From the SD Card,
Android.
Thanks for your input in Advance!

Im running xbmod v1.10 and got WPDM working. Heres what I did.
Install WPDM, connect phone, let it install touchxperience on phone. Then it throws error that cant launch..., While phone is still connected try to launch touchxperience directly on phone. Phone will hang then return to "start menu" (Im not even sure what to call it, not home screen), disconnect phone, change setting in WPDM to not connect to phone when it connected, Now launch touchxperience on phone(should work now), connect phone, on top right drop down menu of WPDM click connect and it should work.
Basically it wont automatically run touchxperince on phone by itself you have to have it running before you connect to computer.
Worked for both my xbmod v1.10 on my phone and HD2O Nodo on my girls phone.

aye what he said, also there was some changes with NoDo that made things a bit more flakey, his in the process of re-writing the whole thing so wait for a while, he said it would be done within a week, there should also be a nice supprise in it

I will give that a shot, Ill let you know if it worked!!! Much thanks!

Thank you, I did see hes working on it. Have a good one!

So, I tried what you suggested, and On the main screen, it does not show the drive size, or battery strength, on touchxperience, it still shows PC Disconnected, however I can see more things on the phone now in WPDM, in device info that wasnt there before. I cannot view any apps on the phone at all. Did everything work on yours?

Hi, i did what you said, but TouchXperience still doesn't launch on my phone, even when i disconnected it, sigh, could it be because i am using the XBMOD normal icon version instead?

hi,
My windows phone device manager did work with this Rom. (XBmod V1.10) once only before I use the reg fix after that not even on my PC it opens.
Any ideas?
Thank you

good things are coming my friends! significant improvments, have patience!

I found a solution
One solution that i found is to format Windows phone and then use Windows Phone Device Manager. It worked for my Lumia 710

Here.

Thats great cheers! One small problem at the moment is I can't get my phone to sync with my PC now. I can get it to connect and I can view the files on it in Explorer but it won't "sync" - any ideas?
I have Windows 7 64bit

reinstall the drivers for activesync

That instruction about syncing / getting an active sync connection doesn't mean what it appears to mean. It simply means get a USB connection.
Put phone in bootloader, connect to USB, when word. "Serial" becomes "USB", that's an activesync connection and you can flash.

Try this one:
