Hi, I have a somewhat odd problem. I'm trying to change the sound of the alarm on my phone (I've read all the threads on it, I know how to do it).
However, when copying files from my computer to the device's \Windows, everything appears to copy fine, and then... they just aren't there.
I have attempted this from both my Mac and from an XP machine and I get the same result both times.
Is there something I could be overlooking?
Oh, and it's WM6.1.

try copying to your storage card and then using the phone to copy to windows. It sounds pretty weird to me though.
Could it be that you need to display hidden/system files by enabling this option in your file explorer?

I am a newby and trying to install smartkeys on cingular 8125. Do I download to pc and activesync or download direct to device? Trying to download to device make .php file. Sorry for the dumb question...trying to learn
I just downloaded to PC then put unzipped files on my Mini SD then clicked on the file to set it up. Probably an easier way but this is most obvious to me.
First of all, read the pdf that's included in the download. Basically what I do is make a directory Smartskey somewhere on my PC. I extract the files to this folder. I locate Omapclock on this site if I care to overclock (which I do) and copy that file to my new Smartskey folder on my PC. I then edit the smartskey.ini to my liking, referring to the readme.pdf as necessary. I actually keep a copy of this on my SD card for when I do a hard reset on the road. I have a directory called "!APPS" on my storage card that has all my cabs. Now.... copy the modified Smartskey folder to your device. I put it off of Program Files. Do NOT, as xxpinballxx, run from your SD card! This is documented as a bad idea. If you don't believe me, read the readme.pdf included by the author in the download. Once it's on your device, click one time on the smartskey.exe file. That's it!
Enjoy.
(And please don't PM me regarding this has no one else can benefit)

Warning message on startup
Hi Guys
I have installed smartskey (placed it in a folder under windows in main memory) and told it to start automagically.
But now when I soft reset my device it warns me about smartskey and wants me to press yes. How can I get it to start transparently.
Thanks
I see that behaviour ocassionaly, not every soft reset. Odd.
I recently updated the software on my phone (8125) and now when I start it up, it tells me that SmartSKeys is not signed with a trusted certificate and it does not start. If I tap the exe manually it starts up NP. Any suggestions?
I had the same problem with it and I had to remove the startup file from the windows/startup folder as well as the program from the memory card and then I reinstalled it to a folder in the PDA. No more problem.
Restart problem fixed
Hi
A few weeks ago I stopped receiving the message. My device is still overclocked which is what I use skey for but it doesn't complain when I switch the device off then on again (by holding down the power button) or when I soft reset.
Strange but true
Thanks

Hard Reset then redo. Or put it back to the original RUU deal then try it again.

It's not seeing the files that it calls for within that batch file. Where do you have your files stored?
what rom are you trying to flash?
I know with PDAVIET you have to aserg twice and soft reset after each.
Also, IT IS IMPERATIVE that you flash over an RUU.
as far as "ivanmmj's" comment goes..lets see where am i stashing the files..after it opens up using WINRAR i just use the directory right from WINRAR im not actually moving the files onto my hard drive....
I am was trying to install the ITOUCH FINAL V2 blah blah blah...
I installed the 5 button setup and the overclocking program with the battery indicator..
i got everything to work that just involves moving CAB files over..obviously a simple thing that doenst need a page long thread to explain how to install..
I still need help..im following directions but like ivanmmj said its not reading the files ..still need help LOL

There's your problem. You need to unrar the files to a directory. Then open a command prompt and run the batch file from that directory.
is there a limit to the number of songs you can have. i have about 5gigs worth of music, but when i go to update libriary it gets to the "adding new files" and freezes. does anybody know whats up!

Are you sure it freezes? Mine just takes *ages* to finish that stage.
But yes, delete that folder and you'll be able to rebuild your library from scratch.

Delete the folder (that he said above) via file explorer. You can usually find the folder in the root of your storage card. Works everytime. G/L.
unable to find the hidden folder WMDRM, used the search program on my phone asnd still no luck . do i have to sync my tilt and delete it thru the cpu.
If you are using the standard file explorer, make sure that you have the "show all files" option switched on.
i wish it was that simple
yeah it is. win i pulled up winrar to un rar a file i saw it as a folder but i can't get to it. still haven't sync phone, @ wrk
If it 1 thing its another

after this it updating says it found 2087 files but only adds the file save to the phone not the memory card. doeas this sound familiar to any one
yeah use Total Commander or another "good" file explorer. & remove the "WMDRM" folder... it should be in the root folder of your SD card...
even then, if you have a TON of mp3's you may have to wait 5 minutes while it updates... I've had to reboot when it freezes & its hard to tell when its just taking forever & when its frozen :S
If that STILL doesn't work, try putting your files back on your desktop computer, then put your SD card in your computer, and re-transferring them that way.
Hope that helps
Non existant file transfers only to "Download" folder. other folders are fine.
Background: I used TWRP to completely wipe my Nexus 6. Through Windows I made a folder called "Download" and put my ROM and SuperSU in there which transferred fine. Installed ElementalX 3.0.
Now when I transfer files from my PC to the Download directory, I just get a moving bar and the files never actually transfer. I have only waited about 5 minutes then gave up. Once I cancel the transfer, Windows loses connection with the phone and I have to re-plug the USB cable in. The problem only occurs when I try to transfer to the Download directory. I can transfer files from my computer to any other folder of the phone with no problems. I also cannot delete the Download directory using Windows Explorer, and two file manager programs on the phone called File Manager, and ES Explorer. The Download directory also has two files, SuperSU and ElementalX, which cannot be deleted. It's not a major issue, but it's bugging me.
Oh, my Android skill level is novice wannabe so be gentle with the big fancy words. However, after a few short hours of owning the phone I did figure out how to ROOT and install a custom ROM, so I ain't totally stupid - just mostly.
check the file permissions on those files and the folder, ES Explorer can likely do that I don't use ES but I know its well featured. Its the only thing I could think of off the top of my head.

Reboot into recovery. Go to advanced, file manager. Browse to that Downloads folder, hit select, then choose delete.
Should get rid of it for you.
I'm assuming that you made the Downloads folder originally through TWRP while it was connected as an MTP device? If so, sometimes it can do weird things while in recovery. While the MTP driver works in TWRP, it's not extremely mature and is really just there as a convenience for folks that aren't comfortable with the standard command line stuff.

Thanks man. That sorta worked. There was a section in ES where I could change all permissions to RW. I don't know if that effected things but after I did that I renamed the Download folder to Downloads with an 's'. I was able to recreate another Download directory and now I can download stuff from the net as I wasn't able to with the old Download directory. This seemed like a patch but at least things were better. However, I then read Yoinx's post and it worked and complete got rid of the bad folder.

You sir are a bloody genius. Worked like a charm.
I am going to explain this as well as I can. When I wiped everything with TWRP (I didn't mean to. It was just a noob mistake) I was no longer able to see my phone's files on my computer. If I am not mistaken, it did show the phone hooked up, but no files, or even "internal storage" were showing - I could be wrong. I needed to copy SuperSU and the ElementalX ROM from my computer to my phone but I was screwed. I fiddled about in TWRP, and I believe it was under "Mount" where I was able to check/tick all the folders that were unchecked. I am assuming since they were unchecked, Windows could not see the files on my phone. After checking/ticking the folders, I hooked the phone up to the PC and the N6 showed up. I made the Download directory in Windows and copied the ROM and SuperSU that way.
Also, I don't even know what an MTP device is. Maybe I did what you said as I was sort of clicking here and there to see if this or that would work. I was in semi panic mode so I don't remember every single thing I did. Anyways brother thank you so much for your help. Here's some nice delicious Hawaiian pineapple for ya.

Hello,
I'm currently running Benzo Rom, for some reason whenever I create a file/folder in rootexplorer in "/sdcard" for example, I can't see it on my computer when viewing through windows explorer, but I can see it clearly on my device. What gives?
(Running Windows 7)
.....
PC driver in Windows 10 not signed.
I faced the same issue. I found the reason as MTP bug. Anyways rename the file to something else(change a letter or so) later it should display in windows.

I should clarify that I am on windows 7, not 10. Also How does renaming the file to something else fix it? That doesn't solve the issue if I have to rename a new file/folder every single time I create it..

I've ran into the same situation, both for files I've created and for files created by an app and the only way I've been able to see them on my computer is to either rename them or move them to a different directory. Sorry, I know that's not what you want to hear but I haven't figured out or heard of any other solution.
