Hi,
Do anyone know any tool to flash dimond from Mac OSX?
I have to boot wz windows each time I have to do it.
Thks n brgds
Hi,
Being on a Mac too, I never found any flashing tool that was reliable, so your best bet is to use Parallels Desktop or VMWare to launch Win under MacOS...

have you tried flashing via these apps? how was it? I haven't tried it via emulation software since usb isn't as stable as having a windows machine, bootcamp should work.

if you are using bootcamp then it can be done and if you are using parrallel or any other virtualization then it can be done but you must first put your phone in BOOTLOADER mode and then connect to mac via USB and then flash your phone.

Hum, then how comes I just Flashed my cruise with wm6.1 through parallels? Would my beloved mac actually be a PC? omg.....
Nah, it CAN be done, I do it almost daily But, it's true that some CustomRUU.exe's sometimes act weird...
@approved101: depends on your ppc...
You can also flash through SD card. That way, it doesn't matter what OS you use.
Bootcamp will work fine obviously as it just makes your Mac a Windows machine. I found that the latest Parallels didn' work properly, flashing wouldn't go all the way to 100%. The latest VMware worked surprisingly well though.
There is an open source flash tool called HTCflasher that can be compiled for OS X. It doesn't seem to work though as it doesn't use Linux style paths to usb devices. There is a possibility we might get it to work someday though.

I have a Diamond, then I connect it wz WMWare and flashing starts, when activesync disconnects, flashing program cannot detect Diamond.
Wz bootcamp no problem, but I prefer to use windows only for playing Assasins .. hahahhahahaa.
I new about DroidExplorer, but it`s not a solution for me. First of all it don`t works on my Win7. And the main thing, is that i use my phone as storage, to transfer files between different computers. It`s not usefull, I can`t install DroidExplorer on all of them...
So, folks, tell me pleace, how do you solve this problem (maybe some mount widget or some other trick)?
Thanks!!!
Find HTC Sync from the official HTC Site (just google it).
It worked for me!
EDIT: Also i heard about "MyPhoneExplorer" but I did not try it yet.

HTC Sync, MyPhoneExplorer - it`s the same story, as with DroidExplorer. Is there some solution without installing any soft on PC? As it works in WinMo.

Before I installed HTC Sync, i think that - When i connected my phone to PC, i found somewhere the option to show as a Hard Disk (or removable disk w/e)
I selected that and worked fine! (i did not transered anything but i am 100% that happened)
DroidExplorer, MyPhoneExplorer and QtADB runs fine on Win7.
I also use Wifi to transfer files.
Does anybody tried "Multi Mount SD-Card" or "Dual Mount SD"? I found some advices about this apps on HD2 Android forum... Maybe it will work for us?
How do I use the Phone's Storage Card as a Disk Drive?
Connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable. Open the Notifications panel. In the Notifications panel, touch “Select to change USB Connection Type” and change it to Disk Drive.

Oh great, so simple!!! Dude, i made it! For several times, with every releace, and it don`t works! And it seems, I am not the one...
Be careful, this way works sometimes but usually the files you have copied to SD won't show in Android when you mount back your card, and will be converted to temporary LOST.DIR files. So the best way to copy files is from WM or transfer them with Wifi
LOL, mine is working correctly also DroidExplorer and MyPhoneExplorer, I think the problem can be with OS and Phone drivers Compatibility on your komputer ?
EDIT:
DroidExplorer is sometimes unstable!
MyPhoneExplorer - always worked well

I don`t think that the only problem is in my PC, because the issue still present. I`ve read several threads about Android on HD2. And many people says that data transfer don`t works on SD-card port, because android runs from SD. And in NAND version everything is ok...

Multi mount SD works 100% OK.
i use virtual data cable it works great!!!
Multi mount SD working perfect so far
Thanks cbolumar!!
YES! Multi Mount SD-Card is working! I think this info must be in FAQ!
P.S. Some devs of HD2 port, include this programm inside of their releace, i think its usefull.
I am glad that you can finally copy files on your phone
Hello everyone!
I'm using Windows 7 [64 bits] and I wanted to know if someone has found a solution in order to copy huges files (2 gb video files for example) via USB to the Iconia Tab A500?
In fact Explorer.exe is always crashing during the copy (or in the beginning of it)
I don't have any Wifi at home at the moment, so I can't copy via Wifi thanks to File Expert for example.
If you have an idea, please share it, seams strange that it looks impossible to do it.
Thanks!
Copy the files to a flash drive and plug flash dive into tablet?
Thanks for your response.
Yes that's a solution, but there's no faster solution? Where's the problem with Explorer.exe crashing?
I have Win7 x64 and I have never had that problem. Sorry...
ummm, have you tried a different cable? Or come to that, a different USB port on your computer?
Use android commander. It works great

Does your tablet show up under device manager in the control panel? Or under admin panel -> storage? Might be a conflicting letter the drive is trying to grab with one thats already used. If u see tablet in storage in the admin panel -> control panel. Try changing the letter assigned to it.

Sounds like a driver issue. Try uninstalling all the USB drivers for the Acer, then download and reinstall the latest drivers.
I can't believe I did it, must of accidentally deleted photo album. Stayed up for hours last night and all of this morning trying to find a way to recover the album. I have a bunch of my daughter's pics in that album and I really need them back.
I have a Nexus 4 with 4.4.2 loaded on it and the phone is not rooted. I have been trying to find a way to root the phone without wiping the data so I can try to use diskdigger to recover what I can. I don't know if there is a way with this version, but if there is and you know, please post. If you can show me a way and it is successful you will have some paypal money coming your way. Thanks in advance!

My first response would be to use disk digger like you said, but as much as rooting is a wonderful thing, I don't think it is needed in this case.
Disk digger is actually derived from a desktop app of the same name, that does the same thing with desktop and laptop hard drives.
Web page here
http://diskdigger.org/
If you connect your phone to your computer as external storage then you should be able to run the program on the computer but targeted at your phone, hence recovering your lost files.
Note: if this works then LOTS of files will be found, (including ones you never knew were even on your phone) so be prepared to search through them all.
I really hope this helps, I know what it is like to loose precious files, safe to say you should backup everything valuable from hereon
Let me know what happens either way and I will try and help if it does not work

yeah, just tried the pc software for diskdigger, phone doesn't show in list. Has a advanced tab, but only lets you choose .vhd files it looks like. If only you could get the phone into a vhd.
OK, so the first question is if the phone is mounted correctly, does it show in 'my computer' and when double clicked on can you see files?
Next question is if you are using the .exe correctly, take a look at this tutorial: http://diskdigger.org/node/1025
I'm sorry if this sounds condescending, but I don't know your experience with computers

LOL...no problem. Been a systems admin for about 10 years. Anywho, yeah, this is the nexus 4 so it only has internal memory, no sd card. I can see the phone in my computer, but there is no drive letter assigned, apparently that changed in 4.3 up through 4.4.2, which I am on. So what that means is no mass storage option where drive letter gets assigned, so routine recovery software can't read it as an attached drive.

Hmmm, you should still be able to mount as external storage, I have done so before on that android version.
First thing then is if USB debugging is enabled, this will be in your settings under developer options and should not require root.
Then it is a question of whether your computers drivers are correct, android has a tendency of not liking to do drivers correctly, I used PDAnet to install the correct USB drivers (note these are different to the ADB drivers which you don't need)
Get back to me with the results of those 2 points

Yeah, I had developer options enabled and USB Debugging mode on, maybe it could be a driver issue. I tried PDAnet and that didn't seem to update the drivers for the phone. The device shows okay in device manager, no exclamation point, shows as Nexus 4 as well and the driver seems to be a Microsoft driver. Are you sure you had the same android version? Everywhere I look any version after 4.2.2 cannot be used as a mass storage device because of the MTP-PTP change in 4.3 and 4.4.

I am on 4.4.3 now, and have the phone connected fine right now, have you tried switching between MTP and PTP?
Note: I am on MTP and it is working.
I am sure there is a problem with something to do with connecting your nexus to the computer, as mine is doing so right now. If we can resolve that issue and access the internal storage then you should be able to then recover the files with disk digger.
My best guess would be a driver issue as android has never really played well when trying to set up drivers. But like you said the computer is recognising it correctly. I think perhaps testing the drivers connection my be the next step, use ADB with the command 'adb devices' (without quotes) to see the devices connected to the adb server. If nothing comes up then we may be able to start troubleshooting :good:
Perhaps ADB is the difference, i have it installed and sorted, do you?
If you have never used ADB before, here is a good place to get started and here is another mention of the drivers, perhaps another attempt may be worth a try, with a clean intall
Safe to say in my drivers list it is connected under android device > android composite ADB interface.
Actually yes, thinking about what i have just written i am confident it is ADB and drivers, you should not be connected with Microsoft drivers, they are the automatically installed ones and never work. Follow the guides above (and perhaps some googling) to get the proper drivers and ADB set up, once you think you have test it with the 'adb devises' command, once you get it returning a serial number for your phone then take a look in 'My Computer' again and see if the storage is visible.
nexus 4 only support MTP, not USB Mass Storage, so can't be mounted with a drive letter and can't be used with undelete software . If you know any working solution without root - please tell us, but test first yourself before writing please
P.S. you are on 4.4.3 ?

My most sincere apologies, i was mistaking the mounted MTP device for the mounted drive, i now see what you mean.
In this case rooting is your only option, you need to run the file recovery natively.
I had hoped that this would not be necessary as unfortunately the rooting process will perform a lot of write operations so you must be prepared for some of your images to become corrupted or incomplete, (hence why i wanted to attempt other options) this is just the risk that you will have to face. How many will be damaged is difficult to say.
So use one of the many tool-kits or root manually, install the disk digger APK and you are good to go.
to root you will need to unlock phone bootloader and that will wipe all your device ...
Hello guys! i can not install windows seven on my Lenovo v15 g2 itl. its bios is UEFI. i flash iso with rufus and choose the uefi option, but when i boot from usb, it just freezes on windows 7 logo. what do i do?

Are you using a USB drive? Try using a different drive, or burn the ISO to a disc if you have an optical drive.
