how to access my filesystem if the device freezes during startup

After entering my system password my device freezes. So i cant start the explorer there.
Is there a way i can access the files on my phone? Sadly its in USB Stick mode, i can browse my files on the SD Card just fine. But i need access to the device memory. I know whats wrong, i just have to replace one file, but how do i get there?

Any chance to get access via the bootloader screen? Can i force active sync to connect even if the device is in removable media mode? Can i prevent the today screen from loading and get into the explorer somehow?

i know there is a safe mode!
yes there is, i'm 100% sure, i have used it, but it was using an application(i can't remember which one, maybe something from SPB).
try looking around on how to enter safe mode on Windows Mobile and i think this will help.
good luck

Try using SPB Pocket Plus as it has a safe mode boot features

safe mode doesn't help in most cases....

Google only gave me 3rd party safe mode programs. I didnt find a native windows safe mode support. And of course i cant install any new programs at the moment. And i dont have Pocket Plus installed.

Does it get into USB stick mode automatically after entering the password?
Regards,
Carty..

Yes as i said it does, but i can only access my SD Card because it not in active sync modus.
And the dll i need to replace is on the phone memory, no the memory card.
Does this help me? Could i put some kind of autorun script on it which replaces my dll? Or disable the today plugins?

[Q] Window 8 wont boot up!!

Help would be great. I have a dell inspiron laptop (not sure exactly what model it is) and I made the mistake of downloading windows 8 consumer preview when it first came out and installing it directly on the laptop rather than dualboot or usb stick. It worked fine for a couple of days and then out of nowhere it wouldn't boot up. When I press the power button the screen will light up and the w8 logo will appear but it won't go past that part. Sometimes It will say auto repairing itself but I've left it on for two days to see if it would fix itself but It didn't. Is there a way to get in safe mode to atleast re install the iso file? I've been without a laptop for a couple of months already and can't afford to buy a new one!

so am I correct in thinking you have no installation media at all for windows? any version?
If so do you have access to another PC because to be honest, your probably going to need it
I assume you have tried hitting F8 on boot to get to the boot menu and that didn't work either?
in terms of your hardware its cool, that's not the issue, the software is, having an install disk would have made things a lot easier....

Yes I have access to another pc and no I don't have any available. I downloaded a newer version of the win8 in ISO format and put it on a dvd disc and tried installing it through the f12 key right when you boot up. The disc drive started running but nothing happened afterwards. Windows recently released a new version of win8. Should I download that one and try it again the same way I tried the first time?

ok, you hit F12 to get in to the boot menu is that correct? then you selected the DVD drive and it made some noises but did nothing?
Ok, Boot menus can be troublesome
What I suggest is go in to the BIOS and change the boot order to DVD first THEN HDD, if that doesn't work then take the HDD out of the boot order altogether, you will need to turn it back on again though to complete the setup
also, I want you to see if the DVD boots on another computer, the first ISO I downloaded was corrupted and whilst mine booted it would always fail to install, re downloaded it and no problems at all
Its probably worth downloading the RP ISO anyway, the previous version the CP, was mass tested in the open market so any issues with installing wouldn't have been worked out in the CP, hopefully the RP would have got most of them,

Hi, i did what you recommended and it worked fine until the install process! It took me to the install screen and i pressed install. Afterwards it gave me the option of automatically doing the install or choosing custom options only. I choose the automatic and it told me that i had to remove the disc and restart the computer and re inster the disc for it to continue! The problem is that everytime i do that it wants to boot up the original way where it wouldnt work! Any ideas. Should i choose the custom option instead ( but i dont know what to choose if i do it that way)??!! Thanks for your help

HI!
Yes, you are right.
Boot to the install media, at the option to do custom, select custom.
When the screen loads showing the partitions (drives)
-Click advanced on the bottom right
-highlight each partition and delete them (this will loose all data saved there but unless you have a boot disk or usb or remove the drive from the laptop, the data is usless anyway)
At this point you can click continue, or next Windows setup will auto create the partitions it needs and unpack the files, then finish install.
If you get any issues with files missing or media is corrupt from the ISO, you will need to down load it again, use the MS download manager or some manager to ensure the download is good and the file CRC matches what they have on the download site. I have seen this a lot lately so don't waste your time restarting the install if it has an error while coping files, just get a new download.
I hope this Helps.

This does resemble a copy error, or even a hard disk/hard disk controller problem.
I have a desktop computer that will no longer boot up from any IDE devices (even if their properly formatted, it also includes any optical medium), Trying to boot from them results in a "DISK NOT BOOTABLE" (something around that, Acer's boot errors are different from the usual ones.
Anyway, back on track, before all that happened, I had trouble booting the computer from the IDE HDDs, sometimes it would boot and sometimes it stuck at the Windows 7 loading screen till it said a file was corrupt or missing, or it BSOD'd.
I also recommend re-downloading and trying the install again, in extreme cases, if you have another HDD to test, try installing it on a different HDD. If that works, the problem could be your hard disk (or something more nefarious, who knows ^_^

MX5

Hi all,
I have a serious issue with my MX5.
This morning it is remaining on logo MEIZU...no more.
With button up + power and connected on my PC , I can get a recovery folder (1.2 Gb) on the PC.
If I put an update on the folder , after start "System upgrade", I have the message "Firmware not found" and curiously the upgrade file disappears from the recovery folder ?????
So I can do nothing.
What file can I put in this folder to go on ?
Any idea ?

Have you tried with other usb port, with other pc, with other usb cable and with other update.zip?

1) Download a proper update.zip version
2) If you tried to so something through Freeboot or etc, send it back to Meizu for fixing
3) As usual, change cable, use other usb port or even other computer
4) Repair your memory
5) Pray

LG Leon stock, USB debug off. bad digitizer. ADB/Fastboot show no devices..

Hello all! I have a metro PCS branded LG Leon phone with some critical data in the QuickMemo+ LG app I need to recover from internal memory hopefully without having to install a new screen. The data is located in /data/data/[some path]
I can get the phone connected to my windows 7 PC in MPT mode. I can view lots of folders in internal memory. I can't SEE the /data/ folder but I can access it from the path - however it's empty, and I cannot get to /data/data or /data/[the app path] from the windows file explorer.
If I power on and hold power and vol - at the same time, I get a factory reset screen on the phone which I can manipulate with the vol and pwr buttons - but the phone is not recognized on the PC via USB in this mode. If I hold VOL + and plug in the USB with the phone off, I get some distorted command prompt stuff, then it goes in to Firmware Update. In this mode, it is detected by the computer, but shows in device manager with a ! - and the error is error 10 - Device Can Not Start.
ADB and Fastboot both always show no devices connected no matter what I try
If I can figure out a way to get this sucker seen by ADB I'm golden... if I can get fastboot to see it I think I have a process by which I can get in to what I need...
Why can't I get either program to see this sucker?
Or should I try my Linux box running Ubuntu?
Also - as I sit here and type, with the phone plugged in and showing FIRMWARE UPDATE [where I had the error 10 before] I tried switching drivers to just the plaIn MTP driver. No luck initially, but all of the sudden I hear the windows Bedoop new device sound, and drivers installed, and I no longer have the error 10 in device manager.. however I still cant see the sucker in ADB/Fastboot.
Help!
