I have had my iMate Jam for a few months now and recently upgraded from PCs to MACs. I have virtual PC wich allows me to do most of my active synching and installations, but I can't use NTRW as OSX drivers grab the SD card before Virtual PC does. Are there any tools native to OSX or Linux which will allow me to write my ROM dumps back to the memory card? If not has anyone successfully used NTRW through a PC virtualization program like Virtual PC?
Thanks in advance,
Steve
You can read and write the memory card using the Terminal:
insert the card in the reader and issue the comand: diskutil list
the result looks like this:
Code:
dueperdue$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0
#: type name size identifier
0: Apple_partition_scheme *233.8 GB disk0
1: Apple_partition_map 31.5 KB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS Boot 233.6 GB disk0s3
/dev/disk1
#: type name size identifier
0: *483.9 MB disk1 <=== this is the Memory Card
In your sistem, the memory card can have a different identifier. You should be able to recognize it because of the size, and because it does not contain partitions. To be sure, you can issue the command: diskutil info disk1 (disk1 is the identifier of the memory card reader) the result should be something like this:
Code:
dueperdue$ diskutil info disk1
Device Node: /dev/disk1
Device Identifier: disk1
Mount Point:
Volume Name:
Partition Type:
Bootable: Not bootable
Media Type: Generic
Protocol: USB
SMART Status: Not Supported
Total Size: 483.9 MB
Free Space: 0.0 B
Read Only: No
Ejectable: Yes
OS 9 Drivers: No
Low Level Format: Not Supported
Once you find the identifier for the memory card, you can read the rom from it using the command dd if=/dev/disk1 of=the_filename_of_the_rom_backup.
**WARNING**: check the disk identifier accurately and perform a read the before trying to write, to ensure that everything is ok: performing the read on the wrong drive is harmless, but a write will damage the content of the disk!!!
To write the rom on the card the command is dd if=the_filename_of_the_new_rom of=/dev/disk1.
Thanks for the info, I was beginning to loose hope ;-) I'll give it a shot in the afternoon and report back.
Worked like a charm, you're a life saver
Hey thanks iDG. I knew there'd be a way, and like marsonist couldn't get VPC to do it. Now I can drag myself off this PC and work in style!

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?

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? :?

For some reason I cannot mount my G1 in Ubuntu/Intrepid....the SD Card reads just fine through a USB reader, but when I plug in the G1 and touch "Mount," nothing happens on the desktop. I get a lot of garbage when I run dmesg which concludes with:
Code:
[ 4246.867266] end_request: I/O error, dev sdc, sector 0
[ 4246.867562] ldm_validate_partition_table(): Disk read failed.
[ 4246.867685] Dev sdc: unable to read RDB block 0
[ 4246.867887] unable to read partition table
If I try to manually mount with mount -t vfat, it says "Can't read superblock". I can mount successfully using -t usbfs so it is "seeing" the device...
I also tried formatting one of the cards with mkdosfs
Same behavior with both the factory 1GB card and a Kingston 8GB.
I read somewhere that perhaps it ONLY works with a USB 2.0 host controller (I have only 1.1 in this old box), but it was on the t-mobile forum which I do not consider to be all that reliable.
Can anyone corroborate the USB 2.0 theory or offer any suggestions?
Thanks!
Heya, I was in #android trying to help earlier .
As I said in IRC, USB 1.1 is flaky. It's not just T-Mobile forums that say this. Try a 2.0 port and it should work.
Edit: is the Windows machine you tried it on on the same PC? I remember you saying it mounted fine in Windows, but if it's on a separate machine with a 2.0 port that's kinda moot.
Must have been someone else in IRC, but thanks for trying to help both of us
Perhaps I will see if I can find USB2.0 controller laying around somewhere and then I could at least rule out that issue. Until then I can use the USB reader at least.
This is not really any help for you, but I run Kubuntu Intrepid and have had no trouble mounting my G1's SD-card over USB. It's a relatively new computer, though, so I know it's got a USB 2.0 controller on board.
If the controller is the issue, new ones can be found for less than $12 in whatever card format your desktop or laptop requires.

I had this problem too, and it seems that when you write files to it, they disappear...try formatting on a windows box and see what happens...

Hello
I had running 3LIT3 rom on my htc touch cruise for a week without problem (i realy love this rom). But few days ago USB2PC suddenly, without any obvious reason won't work. One day it worked next day.. it didn't. I guessed i have changed something in registry or install a stupid application, but after hard reset problem wass persisting.
Behaving is realy strange: When i plug usb cable and select USB mass storage (usb2pc popup), PC detects a new mass storage device (windows trying install drivers, linux dmesg show some lines). Then the "Storage Card" directory in device hides, BUT after a second it comes visible again. PC will show new removable drive after about 1minute. Linux show new dev (/dev/sdc and sdc1) but it can't be mounted.
I tried everything - change cable, use diferent PCs, hard resets, different rom upgrades, radio change (1.6x, 1.59.x) but everything without any effect.
Can anybody help me with this problem ?

this feature is not stable at all, so it's really hard to say what might cause this issue
I just formated SD card and flash ROM which was OK in past... but no success :-(
I have the same problem and also,failing when trying to reinstall official WWE ROM.
what about activesync? is it working?
I also use 3LIT3 ROM.
At first USB2PC worked strange. It worked but pop up screen (that pops up whet I plug the cable) didn't. So it allways worked the way it was set in settings (activesync or USB2PC).
I just wanted to post this problem but then I tried it again and it started working.
I have not used it for a while so I don't know if it still works or not.
well, the popup never worked for me, but SDHC is correctly mounted, when i choose USB instead of ActiveSync
i don't need to even reconnect the cable, it just works out of the box

activesync is working well (simple serial mode).
I tried wm5storage, it works slowly and only sometimes for me.
The most strange thing is, usb2pc popup & usb2pc has worked correctly for a month with clear 3lite ROM on same PC and other computers too.
Now I had tried different SDHC card with same bad result :-/
Is existing a hardware setting inside of Polaris (ie. like bios for computers)?

I had used opal usb2pc popup, which i found somewhere here at xda.
I'm feeling a bit silly here, but how is everybody mounting their Internal Card in Linux in command line? Slackware 13.1
dmesg spits out a HUGE amount of data. I found this for the external sd.
usb 1-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2
usb 1-5: configuration #2 chosen from 1 choice
scsi7 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usb-storage: device found at 2

usb-storage: device scan complete
sd 7:0:0:0: [sdg] Attached SCSI removable disk
I mount that and well that's my External SD
I don't use slackware, I use Ubuntu, but try the following:
dmesg | grep sd?
You should see things like sg1 and sf1. The 's' stands for SCSI, which is the susbsystem that handles the SD cards, the second letter is the letter of the drive, and the number is the number of the partition.
You can use fdisk to check /dev/sd? as well, where the? is various letters.
Hope that helps.

Thanks yeah its showing

Of coursse sda-sdf are all my drives and sdg seems to be the 2gig drive, but no sign of the 16gig internal.
Same results in Debug mode.
Unmount the 2 gig and try to mount the 16 manually.

I've tried it off and on. I know some mac users reported not being able to see it unless it was in debugging mode.
I normally only use windows for things, but I have this unRAID server and figured why not run some scripts so I could just plug in my phone and back it up and/or sync files one way or both. Just kinda stumping me why it doesn't like to see the 16gig LOL.
have you tried:
Code:
df -h
that should list all file systems and relevant sizes so it should be easy to identify (i think).
hope this helps.
Here is how “I” solved the mounting problem with my Android based Asus TFP Tablet. You might try it.
