I've searched the forums for advice, and haven't been able to find any for this particular topic (although it is possible I missed something).
I installed the unlock_ext_rom_wizard_105 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249359 ) to my wizard, and it shows me extended rom 2 folder, but there is nothing displayed inside the folder. I tried exploring it through activesync and through total commander, there is nothing. When I try to copy to it, I get the write protection error leading me to believe that it was not unlocked just unhidden. What puzzles me is that I am unable to see any of the contents of the folder. I tried playing with total commanders settings for the folder to see if I could get anything to work, but nothing has worked.
Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Having problems as of late installing certain programs
So far;
Pocket CM (all versions) don't install i can choose the location (and i have tried them all) and then i get an error that it couldn't be done
Bandswitch 2.4.1 just says install was unsuccessful as I click on the cab
Mobile justice - same thing, even after installing certificate
EDIT: another one on the list Reperion same issue as Pocket CM
EDIT #2 Looks like its a problem with either my Storage Card or Transferring to it via Activesync
I have tried moving the cabs to the device and install (instead of the storage card) same thing.
Tried after soft reset..same thing
At first i was going to just go into the individual threads for help, but since its now 3 programs, something is wrong
Trying to see if i am missing anything before doing a hard reset.
Any help would be great
Heres a strange one.....
Just recently tried to sync my MDA Compact 4 and got the following error message:
"Synchronization cannot be completed successfully. Reconnect your device and try again. If the problem persists, see the Microsoft ActiveSync Troubleshooter in Microsoft ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer."
On investigating further, i tried the following suggestions:
- Turned off all firewalls
- Removed partnership between phone and pc (on both the phone and pc)
- Unchecked "Enable advanced network functionality" in USB to PC settings on the phone
- Reinstalled Activesync 4.5 (and also a tried a repair)
- Different USB cable and USB port (not using a USB hub)
- Several soft reboots
and finally tried a different PC just to see if i could get a guest partnership! Guess what? Same error message.
I am, however, able to explore the phone with activesync but only explore. I cant change file names, add files or delete.
On even further investigation, i've now also discovered that i cant delete/ rename files on the phone itself (using file explorer on either the device or internal storage). When i do, i get the following message:
"Cannot remove/ rename etc: Access is denied.
Be certain that the folder/file is not write-protected and is not currently in use"
(Even creating a new folder and then immediately trying to delete it gives the same error)
If i connect the phone to the PC as a disk drive though, i am able to delete files just fine. Add new files, rename them etc....without any problems.
This leads me to believe that the problem is with Windows Mobile!?!
Has anyone else experienced the same/ similar problem and figured out how to fix it? (Other than perform a HARD reset/ Clearing the storage)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
UPDATE:
I found this on the Microsoft help forum.
Although it hasnt fixed my problem, it might help someone else who is having the same problem.
1) soft reset device
2) Start / Office Mobile / Word
3) Create a new document (click on New)
4) type some text (just plain text - no formatting - it was 'plain text document') just a few characters
5) File / Save As...
6) I have selected type 'Plain Text'
7) It asked me whether I want to save it at 'Word document instead' - I clicked No.
8) I have powered off the device and did soft reset
9) Start file explorer, find the file (it was in My Device / My Documents), click on it - it opens Word again.
10) Add some formatting (I have selected part of text and changed font to bold)
11) Close Word - it asked whether to save it in Word format - this time I said Yes
12) Power-off the device and press soft reset again
Also, i noticed that i am able to modify any DOCX or TXT file within Mobile Word (and even delete them) just not from File explorer on the device or Explore within ActiveSync.
Can anyone help???
Same problem with different model

You're not alone. I have HTC Touch Pro (ie. Raphael) with exactly the same problem and I've also already tried that "Word-solution" several times without any help. However I can synchronize with my exchance server via 3G. I can also add/remove/rename files if I use some of the Office mobile applications, but not with file explorer.
Getting sooooo frustrated, but still not willing to do the hard reset.
Do both of you by any chance have Fsecure Mobile installed? Just trying to narrow the cause for the problem.
Same Problem Here
I have a T-Mobile Wing and I'm having the exact same problem. Anyone figure out whats up yet? It's so strange that I can delete/remove files and folders through active sync, but I can't through the device file explorer. I have also tried creating a folder with the file explorer, but then I cant delete, move or rename it.
Here's something that might work for you, http://www.24hsoftware.com/How-To/this-device-is-restricted-from-downloading-this-file-type.html
Unfortunately it hasn't work on any devices that I've seen but then again, I'm still thinking that F-secure mobile is causing the problems in our devices. F-secure has confirmed that they have heard about the problem and are investigating it.
This is very interesting as in the past 24 hours my Xperia X1 has started to do the same, I can create files ok but am unable to remove/copy files.
I am using f-secure mobile security, so it would seem there is an issue there. I'll fire an email to them to get myself on a fix list when it comes out if that's the problem!!
Any news on this issue?
I am using a trial version of F-secure mobile (on my SE Xperia, a sort of HTC ). Now, out of the blue I am experiencing similar problems:
- not able to connect to pc via Active Sync
- not able to delete/rename/copy files on both internal as external memory
- programlist appears empty
Did anyone try to remove F-secure to solve the problem?
Thanks.
I just got a reply from F-secure. They have identified the problem and are expecting to release a new version of the client within next two weeks.
Hopefully that's the end of this...

Updated client was published on last friday.
I am experiencing a very similar problem on my HTC HD2 with wm6.5. If I connect the phone as USB mass storage i can copy files as much as I want to on the SD card, however when I disconnect the cable after copying WM6.5 cant read the folder sometimes.
Othertimes when I connect the phone as Activesync and start to copy some files, it stops half way through, sayign "access is denied". if that happens I cant transfer any files anymore, it will always give same error until some time passes, few disconnections, restarts, no consistency, no definite workaround. The strange is when it gets into this "access is denied" mode I can still browse the device (storage card) and create and delete folders. very-very frustrating.... did a few soft and hard resets, reinstalled activesync couple of times, still no joy...and i dont have any FW app on my device...
thanks.
I need help I've tried some many things to fix this problem and searched also, to no avail, And I'm hoping that someone here could help. My tilt has been running fine, but recently when i restart i get a gx.dll message saying
"there is no application associated with "gx", run the application first......"
Ans this is on start-up , i even went and all my itemes out of the start up folder in windows, to no avail.
Thanks
hard reset.
I've noticed this same file popup in my start menu here and there on my Tilt. I think it is created by a program file. Maybe one running out of the start menu folder directly, unlike a shortcut. Maybe a program file put in your startup folder? I just hypothesize.
Hi
I posted this in another board but didn't get an answer so I'll try again here (with more details).
I've tried to install TT5 on my Himilaya with esfane's German version WM6.5. After finally finding threads from people with the same problem I tried the solutions there but with no luck. What I've tried so far:
If I try to install the app using the .cab file it gets all the way to the end but then says installtion failed. I still get the today plug-in but it only beeps at me. The Navigator folder is empty.
I extracted the .cab on my PC, renamed the files according to the .ini and copied them to the folder on my PPC - no luck. The .exe just gives an error messge "failed to start". I'm assuming all of the registry entries are missing.
That brings me to the end of what I can do. I know the .cab install works with WM6.1, which is the solution in the wiki but it doesn't work on my device.
I don't want to upgrade because that means buying the software again.
HELP!!!!
Thanks in advance.
