Can't set device to "Disk Drive" in USB to PC settings

Hello guys...
I'm having a problem with setting the radio button "Disk drive" in "Settings/Connections/USB to PC" on my device (touch dual).
After I click the Radio button it says:
"This feature needs a memory card in your device. Please insert one firts before using this feature"
I got a 4GB microSD card in it. I also tried to reset the device and to remove the card and put it back in.
Does anyone here have a clue?
regards,
Pete

This isnt much of a help, I am also looking for a solution to make that work on my 2gb card, still without sucess:

I tried adding those REGkey values to my registry and it does make the radio button lock to disk drive mode, but it doesnt make it appear on my PC.
Anyone else have a working version of this?

Is this a radio problem?
Is this bug also on the original rom?

Good question...
I'm using the 1.71.09.01_25.75.40.02K radio on the Clean Black v3 rom.

this bug is really annoying... can't even copy no files ~700MB on my niki :'-(

Just checked, the two original roms dont have USBtoPC, I think it was taken from Opal.

Is there an other way to copy larger files to the niki?

Card Export II, but its not free...

how is your battery with that radio rom, twolf? i found my battery draining really quickly but i didnt wait to test it properly to see if it was actually the radio, so i just switched back to the sedna radio.
my camera also didnt work..

interesting, - thanks for the heads up

@ducamie
Your camera and battery problems were probably due to an incompatible xip/sys with the radio. Did you loose audio too? Update the os and you should be fine with 1.71. I'm using it for a week now with a custom rom and no problems so far. Indeed, the phone feels quite more responsive on camera... though it may be just that I like to see it that way

Sorry for the continuing off-topic, I went back to 1.65 radio and its indeed better on the battery drain.

USB-to-Serial port on Athena

Hi!
I am trying find info on how to connect a standard USB-to-serial adapter to a Athena (7500 and 7510). I was thinking of using the VGA-out, connecting the adapter to the USB-port on the adapter that is connected to the VGA-out. Right now, I have a FT232 R USB UART connected to that port and my Athena asks me to enter the devicename, but of course it cant find the devicedriver for this adapter.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to successfully get a serialport from any of the available outgoing ports on the Athena? USB-port or VGA, doesnt matter at the moment.
Also, I tried installing Zenos driver package (Zeno USB Host Drivers v6.0a), but no luck there.
Any advices, tips or ideas are welcome

Edit

Found and installed drivers (http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm), it seems to be working. Will test this further.

If anyone knows any software for sniffing on COM-ports, please let me know.

Solved!
Ok, its now working. The device opens up on COM10.
Have taken shots of the connections made (hardware) and a screenshot from the application used on the Athena. This has been tested on both 7500 and 7510 and its working perfectly. The application used is from the makers of the chip in the adapter, FTDI, and on my computer I used hyperterminal.

Interesting. Are you just using the serial connection for file transfers, or some other reason?

I downloaded some Youtube videos/songs for my son and he plugged his PSP into the USB connector and I couldn't believe it when my x7500 showed a new Hard Drive on TotalCommander.
This 4-in-1 adapter cable is awesome, as I can use my Athena as a regular computer and watch qood quality YouTube and other movies through my 26" HD TV or connect music through my surround system. If you're considering this cable, it will not disappoint you!

We sell these devices with our software pre-installed, our customers are fire- and rescueservices, ambulance and police and the idea is to connect other "radiounits" to the HTC for communication with specific coordination-centrals (f. ex. in sweden thats SOS Alarm). Sorry but I cant really translate it any better than that
We have a few other things in mind as well, too early to write about them here though, and most likely its nothing that will be of any interest for the general public.

Fully understand what you are trying to say, sounds like a cool extension of functionality for the Advantage. Keep us posted as your "other things" come to light.

Will do. This fantastic community has provided me with so much info and I will contribute as much as I can.
My next project is a registrysniffer, realtime. Have just begun but it looks promising.

Good morning, I was not able to install the cable can you help me?
thanks

Sure I can help, would need a but more info though. You cant connect the multi-purposecable to your device? You cant connect the usb-2-rs232cable? Your driver wont load?

Can anyone post the Hero's internet sharing USB drivers for XP?

Can anyone post the Hero's internet sharing USB drivers for XP? Or where to find it? I need it. Please....

The hero does not support internet sharing. netiher does the magic or the G1.
Are you thinking of Windows mobile devices??

what is this option for?
settings--wireless controls -- mobile network sharing (at the bottom)
To enable mobile network sharing, please plug in the cable?

You just need to download and install the HTC Sync from this page:
http://www.htc.com/hero/m/en/downloads/htcsync.html
the last 2 lines of the install instructions states:
(During the installation, a modem driver software for your phone will also be installed. It allows you to share your phone’s Internet connection to your computer when you do not have Internet access on your computer.)

this file is also on the sd card!

Well bugger me backwards, I stand corrected!
Has anyone actually got it to work though?

just tried it and it actually seems to work!
Once htc sync was installed from http://www.htc.com/hero/m/en/index.html it installed the network adapter and all seemed well apart from no traffic.
disabled sharing and started it again and all started going flawlessly.
maybe a little slow, but enough in a pinch.

Does anyone know if this will flag up on the operators system as tethering?
With 3gb allowance per month I can't use that all on mobile browsing!

It depends on the network.
I currently am using it on a three mobile sim with the 5 pounds a month 'unlimited' mobile browsing add on.
works fine and i have been using that sim in a USB modem for the last three months, so even if they can, it depends on whether the network actually cares or not!
I know that my t-mobile sim with W&W+ allows me to do it no problems as well, although i don't think you're allowed to on the standard w&w plans. Don't know about their new 'unlimited' flext plans.

I have problems with setting the default USB-Mode on Dev-Options too. It always connects to charge as default.
But have you tried pulling down Notification-Bar and changing to MTP there? Outside the dev-options?

Have you installed the last release of Windows 10, the Anniversary Update? The problem may be that: i have the same issue with my Kobo reader, and the same thing happens to other users. You can try a rollback to the Win 10 version after AU.

HELP! Recover Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Data

The phone suffered water damage and it's all green, I believe the digitizer is now broken for the whole 80% of the bottom screen or so because I can't enter a password or anything. I can pull down the quick menu and turn on the light, but after swiping from the middle of the screen to top then pressing the flashlight location, it still toggles.
What I need most are the contacts, though some messages, images, and app data would be nice.
The phone SHOULD have been in developer mode, but a program I used to try mirroring the screen said to enable it. No root.
Apps I've tried:
Smart Switch
ApowerMirror
SideSync
Vysor
FonePaw
Also tried looking into simply using HDMI/ MHL, looks like S7 is the one phone from Samsung that doesn't support it. There might be some wires that allow it but I haven't found any.
It's on 8.0 Oreo, don't know the exact version.
Any help is appreciated!

Hi, you can do one trick with OEM otg adapter which you got on samsung package wich looks like this:
https://www.shopsmartuk.com/wp-cont...E-UG930-GH96-09728A-www.shopsmartuk.com-3.jpg
and with usb mouse.
So what you are trying here is to blind enable usb debugging option. If you can see something on the screen it is good because with the mouse you can control your device.
Example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70-W240rcPc
If you are not sure where is your settings you can search on the internet for your device and version where it is located. Goof luck.

Thanks for this! I've tried using the mouse to swipe up so the phone would unlock so I could just connect the phone to the PC and navigate through screenshots.
I've also unlocked the phone through Samsung's cloud website, can't see if it worked and backup takes forever and does nothing for some reason. No luck, and thanks for the quick reply btw.

Still looking for some suggestions

First,it's necessary to check if your lost data has been overwritten.If not.find a Samsung data recovery to recover it,such as Mobi Kin Doctor.

Thanks for the program, tried it but I can't get past the authorization with no control over the screen. I'm pretty sure all the data is in tact though

Anything I can do with ADB?
