Hi friends,
I have a strange case where some files from the storage card simply aren't there any more.
It happened to me with the Destinator application - all the files under the directory were gone.
And now the same thing happened to me with all the pictures and videos that I had!!!
Trust me, I am not deleting it by mistake or played with the sd card...
Any one had this problem or can suggest what to do?
By the way it is a 2G by Starex.
Thanks
Problem update
Well....
It seems that the OS doesn't see the files.
I was able to see my pictures in the same directory only from my laptop connecting to the mobile device.
When it happend to me before with my navigation application, even the application icon from the start menu changed to an unrecognized icon.
It appears to be a problem with large SD cards. The WM5 do have it and also the WM6 still have it. On my WM5 the problem was large to the rsult that one day I lost everything from the card and had to them again from scratch, I concluded (although I do not know how true it might be...) that it was caused on the combination of having used the destinator and then use the camera and save pictures on the SD card. The result after some serious problems was to reformat the SD card and hard reset my PPC. Now I have installed WM6, some times after soft reset does not read the card, but with a second soft reset the problem is solved...
Hope that I have been some help to you...

Thanks, this is bad news.
So now I need to move to a smaller SD or upgrade to WM6?
How does WM6 works on the trinity?

Either use smaller cap cards, 2G and 4G cards are problem prone, or bear with it. It's a HW problem with HTC, that occurs with more than one type of device. It did have fix for Artemis, but still NOT for Trinity.
Alternative, you can use some preventive measures. Try
search for a software called SDSentry which was written for use with Artemis, but it's also compatible with Trin.
Good luck.

Thanks! I will look for that software.
I tried many different versions of wm5torage on my wings, and I can't get one to work I was wondering if it was working for you, S730 owners?
I tried with a 1GB microSD, and a 8GB SDHC with no success at all...even Softick Card Export trial can't give me access to my card
XP recognizes a USB peripheral in the tray, I can even see a removable drive with a letter ( G: ) , but my data isn't there (it's empty) and I can't write on it
I would be glad if someone could help me out...
Tried on mine, I have windows Vista and its working for Me, all directories and files are accesible for Me. I can make a new directory on the card.
Thank you for trying ! I guess the only thing I can do now is a hard reset of my device..... It was very tweaked to save RAM
EDIT:: I really can't get it to work Please, which version of wm5torage did you use ?
I'd also like to get WM5torage working on the S730 with WM6.1. I'm trying v1.80. A Removable Disk (G appears in Vista but if I click it I get an error message saying that it needs to be formatted.
So what's the secret mykie?
You know, I think mykie has a T-Mobile Wing and not an HTC Wings.
The Wings has a bad USB driver that can't properly be used by WM5torage, if I understood it correctly.
On the Kaiser (which has the same chipset as the Wings and surely the same drivers), they managed to make wm5torage work by installing Softick CardExport too (which installs his own USB driver, that wm5torage can use afterwards).
I couldn't reproduce it on the Wings with the SP version of CardExport
I have the same problem. Did you find a solution?
WMStorage WORKING
You must cancel at setup->connection->USB to PC
Enabled advanced network functionality.
Do you know anybody, what means allow it?
frem, I did not find a solution to this problem yet. I'm using an USB stick where you can put your sdcard in.
jivo, it's the wingS we're speaking about.
I won't think wm5torage works for anything anymore :-/ At least on my kaiser it fails all of the time. I just plugged it into a Vista machine and I love how easy it is to just access the storage card. Vista would get rid of any desire for WM5torage other than the fact that everyone doesn't run Vista.

It's worked before hw service (new displey) and before flash to 6.1. WMStorage working at my Mteor WM6.1. I don;t know where is problem at Wings. I am sorry.
I have this problem now too. I am use WMStorage 1.8
As you might probably knew already, Windows Mobile 6.1 is having problem with USB mass storage emulation software like SoftTick CardExport or WM5Storage.
If you have SofTick CardExport, please report it here :
http://softick-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=1498
Because if more people reported there it will get more attention.
And I believe (hope) that it will also benefit the WM5Storage (I still remember that in the olden days, we need to install Softick trial version to make the WM5Storage work).
I upgraded my Kaiser yesterday to official WM6.1 and wasn't aware of this problem yet:
infact I've a x51v WM6.1(LennySH Dell Stock Beta 7) and with Card Export II 3.08 I can explore both SDHC cards from my PC-XP.
So the problem with Card Export II,probably,is linked to Kaiser and not to WM6.1
Just curious, but what problem are you having? I am using Card Export II 3.11 with Dutty's 4/29/08 6.1 rom on my Tilt and all seems to be working fine.
Hi, i have a Problem too. When i activate WM5torage, my windows recognize my sd card as a usb stick, but i can't grab on it. My Windows show me the Message "Its not Card in", But it is a card in. Can one help me.
Tnak you
Card Export fixed !!!!!
http://www.softick.com/pocket-pc/cardexport2/
Its now FIXED!! and works great for wm 6.1 upgrades. My tilt is now whacking across over a gig of photo files without stopping for a pause. USB settings DO NOT need messing with nor do any of the CardExport functions.
Install.....and use as a mass storage device. I did not need to play around with any of the settings either PPC or PC end.
great program. was surprised my tilt didnt come with this..
I've flashed about 10 to 15 WM6.1 ROMs and have used Card Export II successfully in every single ROM. I don't think it's a 6.1 problem.
Cooking CardExort II into a ROM?
I have tried a few times to make an OEM package out of CardExport II but have never managed to get it to work. I installed the Application, copied all the files off and did a registry export. I then searched through the exported registry file and extracted all (I think?) the CardExport II entries and built an OEM package. So I have at the moment an almost working package however when the application is launched and you click connect, ActiveSync disconnects OK, then a few seconds later the big button on the Kaiser turns from Disconnect back to Connect and ActiveSync re-connects.
Has anyone sucessfully made an OEM package of CardExport II to include in a ROM?
Cheers
Andy

You could fix it by sending a few dollars towards the developer. Best 15 bucks I ever spent on windows mobile software.

What he said.....
I use Windows mobile 6.1 and it works fine for me. They have the best protection on the software I have seen and I believe it still hasnt been cracked. Most people who have a problem with this software are using a cracked version which doesent stay cracked for very long, it then stops working in many different ways IE on the website's FAQ
Q: My Card Export II works fine but sometimes it says that "Wrong usb status returned by underlying driver". How can I fix this?
A: Just do not use cracked or patched versions. If you like Card Export II, consider purchasing it. Card Export II costs only $14.95. After receiving unlock code, remove your patched version from your handheld and install fresh version from our web site. After that register it using unlock code you have received from Softick.
Best app on my phone....
Hello,
my problem is at wm5torage:
when I start a java application it doesn´t work. It comes the error:
"Cant´t switch to Mass Storage USB driver, error 1f. Maybe some programs or plugins run from or have files open on storage card...."
But I have no contact at this time to the SD-Card.
Card Export works at the same place. But it isn´t free, so I try to use WM5torage, because it is free.
Can anybody help me with this problem?
Thank you
Best regards

Hi all,
I am looking for a a way to browse the contents of my Kaiser (file explorer) through a USB connection to my PC WITHOUT having to install ActiveSync. Is it even possible?
I've searched the forum, browsed the stickies but I can't seem to find an answer.

Nope, as far as I am aware, activesync is needed.
If you do not have the disk, you can download the software here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/activesync45.mspx
There are a couple of apps that can do this. I think one of them might be called "card export", but don't hold me to it...
yes, there is.
you can use wm5torage v1.8, but you need to make some trials with Menu--> troubleshooting options before activiate wm5storage.
On success you will browse your SD card on your PC.
see attachments
@chrisrc1985: I'm not that hopeless of a n00b Thanks for the activesync download link, but I definitely do not want to install it on my very public PC at work!
@dancj: Card Export is what I'm looking for, only problem is, it's not freeware
@dool2002: Cool, I'll give wm5torage a try but it looks like it's very iffy and not very stable.
Anyway, thanks for your replies guys; appreciate it!
WM5torage usually doesn't work on the Kaiser. CardExport does. But remember this only lets you browse the storage card and not the internal phone memory.
Another option is to use Mocha FTP server, and to browse your phone through the network with an FTP client. This allows to view the phone memory as well. However it would only be over wifi/bluetooth for you, as USB still requires ActiveSync to be installed to add the USB network drivers.
Thanks for the heads up about WM5torage, guess I won't bother trying to fiddle with it...
As for CardExport, I tried the evaluation version and it is exactly what I need! Now the only thing left to do is find a freeware that does the same...
WM5torage works with me
I used wm5torage few times with Kaiser, it works fine with me when I select both disables from troubleshooting menu. I copy around 300 meg with it without any mentioned problems.
If you guys know a bug in it, please let me know.
Well I installed WM5torage to try it out (and did a soft reset after the install). When I clic on the disables in the troubleshoot menu, nothing happens, I mean how do I know that the actual options have been disabled? And how do I re-enable them?!
Anyways, when I activate it and plug my phone in, my PC detects a new storage device called WM5torag (without the 'e'), installs drivers for it, then... nothing! It doesn't appear in my windows explorer.
If it's of any relevance, I am running my Kaiser under the HTC WM6.1 official ROM.

Many people are having problems with it, and the only semi-working version actually requires some files ripped from CardExport. It seems it sometimes works on certain ROMs, but like many others (mainly under WM6.1 I think) I have no luck with my configuration. I'm getting the common explorer freeze with subsequent "please insert a disk in drive X:" message when trying to access the drive, and the Kaiser freezes most of the time as well. Sometimes the drive doesn't even appear on the PC.
WM5torage is worth trying once, if it works for you then you're lucky, if not then don't bother getting mad trying to get it to work as it's very unlikely it will.

"Personal Edition only works over ActiveSync (tethered or via Bluetooth)."
Try nueMassStorage.... it makes your device USB easy to install apps without active sync... but it also gives you the choice to use Active sync if you want to....
http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nueMassStorage.aspx
And it is free and reliable! Using it on my mogul 6800...
It works the same way as WM5torage, so same has the same problems on the Kaiser, or even worse.
Hi,
I'm trying to solve this problem for a week...
My father is using Elf, another ppc with WM6.1 - there is the funny thing:
in application (settings) USB to PC -
In my Kaiser it is asking for ActiveSync Connection or Internet Sharing.
In father's PDA it is asking for ActiveSync, Inernet Sharing and USB DRIVE.
Does anybody know something about it? I would like to have also three variations of connection i that dialog.
Is it a different version of Usb to PC service?
Thanx a lot!
btw: sorry for my bad english.
Hi,
I wanted to start to flash my SD-Card to get my first new cooked ROM on my TD2, but I cant format.
It always says that it is write protected, how can I disable this?
The card is 2 days old, nothing is on it, my TD2 has WM 6.5, my OS on the PC is Win XP...
Thanks for help...
Dennis
Check your adaptor for a little switch on the side and change the position, should unprotect it.
