Where can I get a 2577 folder from? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi guys. I've got an MDA Compact IV and got it upgraded to a Diamond. But lost the 2577 folder and with it the icon for Copilot 7. It means that everytime I want to use Copilot 7 I have to go to File Explorer and Internal Storage. Does anybody have a .cab or something to help me with this? It would be very much apreciated.
PS: If I do a hard reset, would all the settings go back to what they were in the MDA Compact IV? Anyway, I like the Diamond look much better and would only go back if I could save the 2577 folder - and would immediately retreat back to the good looks and better funcionality of the Diamond.

Can you just recreate the shortcut to the Copilot executable? I'm not sure what you mean by "2577 folder".

2577 is the name of the autostart folder. several programs use it on storage cards, like igo, and garmin and a bunch of others.

Exactly! When I upgraded from T-Mobile to Manila the 2577 folder vanished from my mobile, apparently because it was in the device instead of the Internal Storage, where all the Copilot 7 maps are. And I need it now so that I can start Copilot 7 without having to access the Internal Storage first and look for the GPS before using it. The only way to have a Copilot icon at the Start button is by "pulling it" from the infamous 2577 folder. Does anybody have it in the form of a .cab? Can it be copied from one mobile and used in another? Help please.

TomTom 6 Problem

Hello,
Im having a TomTom 6 problem on my ATT Tilt. I am still running ATT Rom. Nothing has really been severly modded on the phone.
I am trying to disable the autostart function on TomTom when I soft reset or insert the micro SD. I have read several posts and tried everything I have seen.
Such as...delete the autostart.exe file, rename the autostart.exe file, delete the 2577 folder, rename the 2577 folder, encrypt the 2577 folder. All of these actions have stopped the autostart feature, however when TomTom is opened, it comes up NO MAPS FOUND.
Any help is appreciated.

is this the purchased version? or did you download some torrent? sounds like it is a torrent but if it was purchased ask for your money back because there shouldn't be a 2577 folder, at least i didn't get one.
I recommend searching tomtom 6032 cab. Install this cab and delete everything else except for your maps from your sd card. After you have that installed you need other software like gpstest, gpsrouter, and quickgps to get tomtom6 working efficiently on your tilt. Here are the steps I have to do:
1)gps router com 4 baud 4800 (this opens your gps system)
2) gpstest basically finds gps satelites
3) open tomtom6
4) open quickgps test and download updates
if tomtom doesn't work after this close tomtom and repeat steps 3 and 4. Also you may want to play around with different settings such as "other nmea gps receiver" set at com 4 baud 4800 and "built-in gps receiver".
Ya its not purchased version. I have several friends with it and they do not have the same problems. However their phones are unlocked, i dont know if this makes a difference. I am using quick gps to keep my GPS location current, and i have GPSgate from franson to turn on the GPS for TomTom. The TomTom program functions normally, everything seems to work except for this autostart feature. Is the .cab you are talking about a free download? Is it a full version? Thanks for the info.
Renaming autostart files will be sufficient.
Some people have downloaded Tomtom legally for the TytnII or have it as an installed file / on the CD with the phone.
This version of TT is a taster version and does not come with any maps !.
If TT cannot 'see' any maps, check that the maps are within the SD cards root directory, if not, then this is the cause of your problem.
Renaming autorun will not 'mess' with the maps ... renaming autorun is often a necessity if you install iGO and TT together as both have autorun files - and iGO does not like it's autorun being renamed
I have tried renaming the autorun.exe but when you open tomtom there are no maps. I have no idea how the two are connected. The maps are in a folder called north_america as soon as i explore to my SD card. also i am not familiar with that iGo program, what does it do?
The autostart & the 2577 folder are part of the installation of TomTom for PocketPC (the software, not the maps). I believe there are several files & folders on the memory card that may be safely deleted. (I deleted them after installation, and am not having issues)... Of course, because I deleted them, I can't check which ones there were, unfortunately. There should be an AutoStart.something or other, an TTN.cab, an autorun.exe, and the 2577 folder that could be deleted after successful installation.
After you successfully install TomTom, you need to start up the program itself, and activate the maps, then the software should see them...

TomTom Map Question - Folder Location

I just got another Tom Tom Map. I had a previous one that was given as a free download. I placed the new map in the same folder. But when I start Tom Tom and go to change maps I do not see it. All I see is the original map. Where exactly should I be placing this new map? What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated. TIA
Anyone Anyone?
Hi there,
Place each indvidual map folder under My Documents on Storage card. Each map must have its own folder eg. IBERIA, SOUTHERN AFRICA, etc etc. Then TomTom will pick up the new map.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
MAC
I have had both TomTom 6 & 7 running on my Kaiser and in both cases the maps were stored in folders off the root on the storage card - e.g \United_Kingdom_and_Republic_of_Ireland_Vxxx.xxxx\

what i did is i actually just loaded the Map folder to my Storage card. clicked and dragged and it works like a charm. also when i set up my TT7 i installed it to my storage card instead of the device (i dont know if that makes a diff) but it seems to save my settings alot better when i am flashing my rom. so i dont need to reset my home address or anything
I found that most of my map folders end in the text ....MAP i.e.
Australia_Map
Great_Britain_ Major Roads_of Europe_Map
Deutschland_Map
etc.
All in the root directory of the SD card.

SharedSD as StorageCard in WinMo?

We can use Vista\XP-SharedSDcard as Network folder in WinMo via VM_Network_Browser+Network_Folder.
May by you know some program for WinMo that can emulate this SDcard (or Network folder) as StorageCard for WinMo?
Have asked the same thing, searched, but failed
Although more or less similar options have been descibed at this forum, I'm also still look "exactly" for what you are asking.
Reason : TomTom and some Aviation Software that I run won't run unless they see something like \Storage Card (in whatever language)
We need to emulate the drive from Vista to WinMo, connecting isn't a problem... we know, it's the emulation that is need for the reason above.
The software isn't available for Vista, so I don't care the power drain of running vista, JUST for the SD card.
So connecting it as a network folder won't help, anyone with a trick to fool WinMo into thinking it's the local SD card ?

Hi mate did you find anything for this, agree with you tomtom needs to see a folder called \storage card for it to work.
SD card access still strongly desired!!
I too am also looking for access to the SD card so that I can load up my WM side with many many programs!
thought i nearly had it....
on my x1 with tomtom7 installed there is a file in navigator folder called currentmap
when i open this file in notepad i got map location @ \stoarge card
so what i thought i could do is just change that to network\ storage card etc etc
but it did not work..............
never mind hey

We are rooting for you! keep at it!

Tom Tom install

Something that has annoyed me with the new TOM TOM after an update from TOM TOM Home it installed it on my main memory instead of storage card so therefore it now takes up so much room that I can't install any more programs. Any way of modding the installation cab to install on my storage card instead ????
Have searched and also tried using pocket mechanic to move whole program to storage cars but then the gps refused to lock on.

..when installing tt on internal storage map share will not work any more!
Move all files except tthome.bif (created when connecing to tthome) to the internal memory, create a Program (or Program files folder head memory. (I don't have an english version and am not sure of which name.)
Keep a copy of CurrentMap.dat and UserPatch.dat in the original folder.
Home works, everything else as before. Not sure if this is the nicest way, but it works.
P.S. You have to create a new shortcut to TomTomNavigator.exe in the programs folder, and delete the old one.
Thanks have sorted it by filling up my main memory with MP3's etc then trying to install the cab. It then says memory full do you want to install on storage and voila sorted.

Help!!!!!!! Stupid Ba***ard Copilot, angers me :( (copilot v8)

hi
this may be a dumb question, but tbh i have been trying to get it working for a week.
i bought copilot live 8 which is compatable with my htc touch diamond but after installing the software i cant install the maps, i have 100mb free of space on my device and there is no option to install it on my internal memor (3.2gb free). i have the UK & Ireland mapps which amount to 186mb. copilot central 2.0 doesnt come with the option either when i attempt installing it from my computer.
also copilot have not answered anyone of my 5 emails, usless! TomTom arn't this rude.
thank you to everyone who attempts to cure my touch diamond/copilot problem

put all files on to internal memory and should work fine.(copy + paste)mine does
First off, I'm definitely NOT one of the experts on XDA. I'm basically a newbie on a lot of this stuff. That said, I have CoPilot V8 on my Diamond and love it.
All I did was (a)download the software, (b)copy it ALL over to my Internal Storage (do not use Active Sync), (c)rename the 2577 file to 2577C so it doesn't autorun until I tell it to, (d)safely remove device from computer, (e)go to file explorer - find 2577C on Internal Storage - and hit Autorun.
I install everything to Internal Storage since I am low on "storage memory."
Don't know if that was what you're looking for or not.
El Mono
P.S. For this initial install you do not need to employ their PC program at all.
SOLUTION to my problem, maybe urs in the future!
i had to do somthing similar to that! thanks for helping giving me a a baseline on which to start!
A) download data
B) copy both 2577 and copilot to the internal memory
c) disconnect from the computer go to 2577 with the file explorer and hit auto run
D) run copilot go through the intial settings like, voice, imperial ect.....
E) once that is done and it says no maps installed restart the diamond device
F) plug the phone back into the computer with active sync and go to the internal memory. look for file "copilot" gps tracks, info, save and speech should be in there, delete them all!
G) go back to internal memory and find where YOU saved the "2577 and copilot" files copy everything in the "copilot file" (in my case maps for EU) EU, gpstracks, info and speech.
H) go back to the "copilot" file where you deleted everything and paste of the data which you just copied. 'wait a while'
I) once it is done run copilot and it should immdiatly start intigrating POI's
-------------------- DONE! -----------------------
this is why i like XDA Devlopers, everyone is there to help cheers guys!
