I currently have the Vanillia Rom and i was wondering if i could use my BA as a Flash drive instead of buying a 4GB drive. I notice the WM5 Storage program in the extras but it was only the start up icon. Do anyone have the program that i can install it onto the Vanillia Rom?
this would be nice!!! Just gotta order the Usb cable and presto!!!!!
Try this one taken from xplode's AKU 3.3 ROM, initially using the BA cradle as link to your PC.

I successfully upgraded from WM2003 to WM2005 some months ago. I'd now like to upgrade again to TuMa 1.3. Currently my existing rom is 5.03.02 and it crashes quite regularly - especially if people call me.
Anyway, I've been reading through the wiki and a lot of the threads again but there's one thing I can't seem to understand. It seems as if upgrading requires an SD card? Is this the case?
Now, before I'm accused of not reading the documentation, I have and it quite clearly states, "copy the EXTROM folder to your storage card". That's fine and well but I've never had an SD card so how did I manage the first upgrade?
What I've been trying to find out (with little success) is if "storage card" is like the ROM storage area but before I flash my SPV M2000 into a very expensive paperweight I thought I'd better check. Better safe than sorry I guess.
Can someone confirm?
no sd card
i've got a spv m2000 and no sd card but i've managed to upgrade to tuma 1.3 no problem i just copied the extrom to the storage on the phone got less storage now but still works fine

Do you remember where you copied it to? Was it the root directory or just in My Documents?
My worry is I'll copy it somewhere that the install program won't be looking. In the documentation it explicitly states "storage card/EXTROM". It'd be just my luck to copy to the files to the root of my device - try to flash it and having it fail because it couldn't find the image files.
You seriously don't have an SD Card?!
Go to a store, buy a 128 MB one for nearly nothing. Honestly, I can't imagine running a Windows Mobile device without one, especially Windows Mobile 5. There just isn't enough space natively in the device.
You don't technically NEED anything in the EXTROM folder either. Alternatively, you can just take all of its contents (cab files) and put them on your device using activesync, and run them in File Explorer to install them. It's the same thing, just not automatic.

I've not had the need to use much memory on the phone really.
When I had an iPAQ I needed loads of memory and was always using it everywhere but I've found the SPV to be very slow (hopefully improved with the new ROM) and also the headphone socket is proprietary so I can't use headphones that fit my ears that don't fall out.
As well as this, I no longer use Windows - well I use my gf's laptop to flash the phone but that's about it. There's very little integration with Unix and the SPV and it's led to a dramatic reduction of usage.
I've heard of some programs that can sync with Evolution on Unix but they're very unstable at the moment and require quite some understanding to get working and I don't have the time to get that working just yet - maybe in a few weeks time.
I've already ordered an SD card but was just a little excited about the prospect of flashing the ROM (it's like Christmas morning for me!) and was wondering if I could do it without it.
Anyway, running the cabs one by one sounds like a solution for the time being. I thought it needed to replace parts of the sub-system that needed a hard reset no?
Once the ROM is flashed, will Device Information reflect the ROM Version as WM5 5.1.1700?
There is no problem to flash this rom without SD card, because you can install manually every cab from extrom after flashing

Thanks xplode.
I've worked out that the cabs are completely independent of the ROM update and as such don't even need to be on the device.
I thought they were like install files and needed to be present after reboot for the flashing to complete properly. My mistake.
With wm6 i'have no more usb mass-storage funcionality!!
I've two programs and they says:
1) WM5torage: "Can't open the selected card/disk device"
2) Card Export: "Can't .... missing dlls or corrupted registry entries"
What can i do?
Anyone with this problem?
thanks!!!
wm5torage works for me. there may be some application (process) running from (or use) you're storage card.
NoOne who can help me?!?
Thanks!
I can't use WM5torage too,I think that is the software's problem.
I use ver. 1.6 and it works for me. try to use a newer ver. or a older one from yours.
WM5torage also works fine for me w\ crossbow.

Disable Programs Running on SD Card
I have to disable all of my today screen programs. They are installed on my SD card and WM5Storage won't run if they are enabled.
had you tried hard reseting already?
First start Wm5torage and switch to mass storage, then connect the USB!
When active sync is allready connected, i was not able to use Mass Storage and
Is it possible to flash BA with SD, and image on it. I try it and put BLUEIMG.nbf a stuck at white screen and it says "Serial". Help
Probably useless but *BUMP*. I have asked this before and never got a definitive answer or methodology.
Solution
I have a solution, it is good when you don't have USB cable like me.
1. Woking blue angel (with WM2003)
2. You need mtty
3. SD Card at least 64MB
Open mtty, put sd card in
Type:
Code:
USB>d2s 70020000 1060000 sd
It will take 4 minutes to complete dump.
Put SD in BA, go to bootloader.
Help
Can somebody use this method, and upload the dump so others can repair their BAs, I cant upload it becouse I dont have USB cable. Thanks
would love this...especially a wm 6.1 build
Come on people... Try it and UPLOAD...
Hi!
First, sorry my poor english.
Im flashed the new AthineOS 3.2, and cant do the Card Export2 or WM5torage to work.
The message of new hardware appears on windows, shows "Mass Storage Media Device", but dont appear on Windows Explorer.
When i disconnect the cable, windows explorer show one removable device for 2 seconds more or less, but this device does not contain the name of my card.
What is happening? My card works well when i put in a usb memory reader.
Thanks a lot for the help!!
Paulo Alexandre
It's known WM5torage is dodgy, but CardExport should work. You should search that ROM's thread for other reports of this problem and/or post there as it's most likely related to the ROM.
Thanks man.
Will search on a AthineOS 3.2 Thread.
I have this problem only after the flashing... before the Athine i used one Dutty 6.0 Rom, and i liked.
have a Dutty WM 6.1 Rom?
Thanks!!!
Hello,
I cannot resize my storage to 60MB for some reason.
I'm receiving well known error:
FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL DRIVE failed.
However is there any WM6.5 ROM that will work with 43MB storage?
This device will not be used much often so maybe 43MB will be sufficient.
Thanks in advance,
Drazen
i think our problem is same.
i've installed WM 6.5 with 43MB rom too
i think we have to downgrade and expand the main storage to 60MB
after that, upgrade it.
(see Chef_tony sticked post )
I already try that without success (i tried other suggestions also).
Is there any ROM that will work with 43MB storage?
WM6.1 or WM6 ROM is also accepted.

You must downgrade to WM2003 only than you can rezise the Storage!!!!
huh, I already tried that without success. I tried few different WM2003 ROMs and other stuff but still receive same error.
However I manage to install your ROM (Windows Mobile 6.5 Build 21888) and it works with 43MB memory.
This device is not for me so I'm happy that it works and this is all! Job done
Thank you anyway!
some devices have another DOC chip installed and therefore the storage canot be extended with the tool from my tutorial, but any rom should still work fine.
thanks ,
