I am having trouble mounting my kaiser using Ubuntu linux distro. I know this is a bit of a long shot but I am using Hardo Heron (8.04) and have just downloaded a new ROM wondering if it is actually possible to mount in Ubuntu if not ill just stick to windows
I also use HH... never tried, but can your use activesync through wine?
I'm going to go find out...
EDIT: Wine will not recognize the .msi extension. I tried Multisync too, no luck, even with the extension lib for all devices. Hmmm....
http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceWithUbuntu
That will let you sync the device with Ubuntu - you can also get a list of the files on the device, but I've yet to discover how to browse it. I'm sure it can be done, however.
To precisely answer your question, yes you can litteraly mount your phone with linux and then you can browse with nautilus or konqueror for example.
Have a look at FUR here : http://www.infis.univ.ts.it/~riccardo/FUR.html
I can tell you that active sync definately doesn't work through wine. Wine will recognise .msi files, you have to install it like this:
Code:
$ wine msiexec /i setup.msi
however, when AS starts, it doesn't recognise USB connections. Didn't try with Bluetooth or WiFi but according to winehq, theres not much chance of it working.
I hear people have had luck with WM5torage but i personally haven't. Just copy whatever to sd card, place into a reader and mount normally or bluetooth the files across. I've found this is the only way.

Hi all, can anyone sort this -
When i connect via usb i choose 'disk drive' to transfer files/music etc to the phone. Everty time i try to transfer anything it says on the PC (windows xp) 'cannot copy xxxx - the path is too deep'
Has anyone else had any problems or does anyone have any ideas? Thanks
My first reaction is to say that wherever you're trying to copy from or too has a long pathname. Are you trying to copy individual files or whole folders, and where are you trying to copy from/to (e.g. My Documents)?

It doesn't matter how long the filename is it still says it. I've tries individual files and full folders but still the same. And i've tried copying from/to all sorts of different places but still no joy???
Hmmm. Maybe the way that Windows is transferring files is malfunctioning. This is definitely an advanced problem, which requires an expert.
*Waits for expert*
First of all, try another USB port. If that doesn't work, try this, in order. stop after the diamond works:
1- uninstall/reinstall activesync, then try accessing files with it.
2- Stop the Diamond usb drive by clicking the safely remove device icon. Then plug it again.
3- Uninstall all USB Root hub in your windows device manager, then reboot computer.
4- Hard Reset device.
5- Reinstall Windows
6- Return Device.
Can you try moving a file name with 8 chacters or less from your c:\ to the phone? Eg c:\song.mp3 to your phone
Also, what OS are you using? What file system does the phone 'disk' show up as in windows?

It shows as fat32. ?
this simply means the files are under a folder tree with too deep or too long with characters. such as:
C:\My Documents and Settings\Andrew Loh\Documents\my structural folders\andrew loh\scanning\pdf\finanacial documents\banking stuff\hong kong bank\bank statement\date 2008-06-09\page 1\200806091211224412.pdf
Simpliest thing first.....take your diamond to another computer.....confirm if it's computer problem or diamond problem

It seems related to FAT system I guess.
Could you try to format the disk from PC when connected as DISK mode and try to copy file or folder again?
This might be helpful.

Right - i've tried to transfer files from a different pc via 'disk mode' and it worked fine.
I can transfer stuff from mine via active sync but it takes ages transferring albums etc. It must be some setting on my computer causing the problem, although i don't have problems transferring things to sd cards etc. Any ideas?
For the love of God...
Hi All,
This seems like a very old problem but as far as I can tell, was never resolved or someone didn't share their solutions with the rest of us lovely newbies!
Unfortunately for me I am now having the same problem and after searching the forums it led me to this thread (along with two others that didn't have any difinitive answers either). When trying to copy anything that is within a folder from my comp (be it from a partitioned drive or the desktop of the root C: drive) I get the error "Cannot Copy ****ath is too deep".
After much trawling on the internet I found some third party software that should have solved the problem. No such luck , when using that I get a "semaphore timeout error". Next I try to direct extract from a .rar file to the internal memory and it tells me the reason it can't complete is that "the disk may be full".
As it stands now; I've formatted my phone's internal storage (and then had to transfer all programs one by one back over from my comp), enabled DMA transfer from the Device Manager in Windows XP and still no luck at all.
Could someone please shed some light on this as (as you could probably tell by the long winded post) I'm at my wit's end with this despite loving the phone in general!
Cheers in advance,
Night
I also have the same problem,
When i use activesync, big files like movies can only be put on the device itself, not the internal memory of 4g.
When i use the diskdrive option, the computer sees it als an usb storage, but files cannot be transferred, because of the "path is too deep" error.
in dutch it is called "pad is te lang", any options?
Also does someone know where to buy the official extended battery in Holland, because bol.com cannot deliver and other sites are way expensive.
Ok, just fixed it.
I turned off the activesync software in windows.
Connected the device to my usbconnector on the back of the pc (a 2.0 usbdrive)
Then it worked! Now 755 mb of .mp4 movie on the device...
i dont know if someone still got such a problem. I got it today and solved it with flashing an other rom on it from the Ruu.

Why don't you do a search or google first?
Delete the PC files
I use XP64, and have experienced this a few times when I've moved pictures out of the backup file on the computer. The fastest way to resolve this is to delete the entire file structure backing up your phone from your PC. If your phone is named "TOM," then there's a whole file structure backing up the phone. If you are okay with deleting the mirror files from your computer, you should. Then when you go to Sync, activesync won't see it, and it'll create a new one. Its a sledgehammer solution, but it works.
Duplicate issue of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377823&highlight=86000107 (Seaching for 86000107 found me the thread )
Please discuss there.

I installed a new 120 GB hard drive with no problems. I already purchased a copy of Windows 7 HP not Pro or Ultimate. Should have but didn't, too late. Anyway, I did the upgrade and now can't get the shift to recognize my external DVD drive as a bootable source. What do I do now. Is it possible to take a DVD copy of Win 7 and put it on a USB drive and create an iso file? Is there another way to get my shift to boot from a DVD that I am not aware of. I only get the option of booting from the new hard drive which is blank. I really don't want to have to buy another copy of Win 7 as a download. Is there a link to still download the Win 7 rc file? Any help would be great.
Alright, got windows 7 mounted to a usb drive and installed on the Shift but now I can't seem to get any of the drivers to install. I just get a error message about not being able to open the zip file.
are you in windows 7 ?
If you are in Windows 7, and you copied the drivers from HTC over to your device, copy them again from your device to another folder on your device, then start driver install.
Copying files from a remote source often blocks the files.
Then, if you are in Windows 7, there's a particular order to install the drivers, i gather you have discovered this yourself already.
Not being able to open a zip file. Try unzipping all the drivers on another computer then and copy them to your shift, then move them to any other directory on your shift (to release the files)
Windows 7 really works like a charm on the Shift. I don't know if your version has AERO on it, I hope so as even with aero it's really fast.
Yes, I finally figured that out. Unzip them first then install them. Sometimes I can't see the forest for the trees. I was then having problems with wifi, 3g and bluetooth. I accidentally tried to install the control center drivers with the compatibility mode set to xp accidentally. Everything is working great now. Sometimes I need to slow down a little.
Would appreciate assistance or direction.please.
Been working for 2 weeks on installing on My Nook Color installed with Honeycomb.
I have it imaged on SDHC card and running on Nook. Problem installing Google Apps and Market.
Looks like I have ADB installed correctly in platform tools and in SDK folde.r I have USB folder with , I think, appropriate drivers.
When I connect and then go in device manager to find driver and get to "have disk" and find the "android_winusb" (located in SDK folder usb drivers) and located the bottom where says inf file is not highlighted. Therefore it will not install.
Newbie here, but looks like not recognizing as an inf file?
Seems like I am so close and now just a puzzle I am unable to solve.
Could you or someone assist? It would be much appreciated. I have tried all searches for resolution that I know of.
Thanks.

I had the same problem trying to install the drivers on my Vista laptop. After several attempts to uninstall and re-install the drivers, I was never able to resolve it. My work around was to install ADB & the drivers on my old XP laptop for emergency use. For day to day use with my Windows Vista machine I installed ADB wireless on my Nook and it connects without any problems.

Appreciate the response, thanks.
What is adb wireless and then how did you get google apps and market on the Nook?
Wow-did some research and looks like the perfect application-thanks.
I can not find out how to download the app. I found a site that said "hit break button to see download link".
I do not know what a break button is?
How can I get the adbwireless app?
Much appreciated, thanks.
PS-If I can get that application-how do I get the Google App and Market on the Nook color?
Getting excited here!
Argh, this is driving me crazy, I have tons of pics and vids (if they work that is, thats for another time) to copy to my W7 laptop. And I cant get W7 to install the drivers. So I searched and searched and downloaded the java sdk blabla kit and then the android sdk kit. And got the that famous problem with "Failed to execute tools\android.bat: the system cannot find the file specified" problem so I searched and searched for that and found lots of threads for similar problems but none of them helped me and yes, I checked if the android.bat file was in the \tools dir and it was.
So now I am just sick and tired of this... is it really so hard to be able to get the GNote with CM10 to be able to connect to my PC with W7? It was months and months ago I last tried so i cant really remember how it was back then but I guess it was something similar..
Please help and/or send me to guides for this

You don't need Java SDK at all to get the USB connection. And Android SDK is needed only for ADB.
All you need is a clean N7000 driver; you can find it in Dr Ketan's rooting thread, or google "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones".
A tip: after you install the driver on your PC, go to Settings/Storage of your Note, hit menu, tap USB storage and set your connection to be "USB". It's a bit slower than MTP, but more reliable.
Thank you very much!! Ill uninstall that scheize when I get home and Install the usb drivers
