Hello,
i have accidentally deleted the wrong folder on my GPS and now i can not boot it anymore.
hardware details:
Sony NV-U50
without SD card slot.
what i have done
originally this device has the sony nav-u navigation software installed running on windows CE....
i have found here in the forum and other forums some posts on how connect the device to my pc and get the igo8 running on it.
so after doing all the procedure i got igo8.3 to run on that device.
but i had to manually start it via total commander.
so i have deleted the contend from the nav-u folder and replaced it with the igo folder contend... and now the device does not boot anymore :-(
after the sony splash screen i get a picture with "INSTALL" text.
before i did all this i have done a backup from the folder but now is the question how do i get it back on the device? i can not connect it back to my pc... it does not get to the sync mode anymore...
any advice would be helpful and would save me from buying a new device.
thank you very much.
also i have opened the device to search for a flash card or something....
i could not find any storage card :-(

and i did not receive an answer.

Windows Media Player 10 has just uninstalled itself from my BA... short of a hard reset and start again, how can I get it back? I tried a hard reset then copy the files from the windows folder but it wont let me copy them!!
For now, I have restored my previous setup, and I will try to instlal the older WMP 7.1... but its really annoying.
Can anyone tell me for example how to access protected files? Can I access the device in bootloader mode from a computer perhaps?
Thanks for you help!
I spoke too soon.. upon trying to do an ActiveSync restore after a hard reset, it tells me I cannot restore since the restore was created from a different kind of mobile device... bollocks, HELP!!!
Alright, Ive restored OK... thats that crisis over.
And post-restore, the media player prog is back in the windows folder but start icon isnt, so will put that back manually.
However I suppose my original question still stands, is there any way to access those locked system files e.g. for copying?
I'm thinking acessing the PPC when windows isnt loaded is the way to do it?

You are right. I am looking for a method to access window folders in bootloader mode or before tapping on screen. But, I didn´t find it anywhere.
Hi
My XDAIIi is stuck on the align screen. To try and repair it I recently downloaded a new ROM version and this briefly seemed to work, but alas the screen froze and when I hard reset it returned to the align screen problem. Any suggestions? (I am able to access the phone through cradle connection). If this is irrepairable then I need to access my contacts on the phone which are saved as a xBackup file on the memory storage card. Is there a program I can use to get my contacts off the phone?
Thanks
Look at http://pocketpcmag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=16922 - there is a tool called xBackup extract from "Menneisyys".
Is there a way to flash a minimal ROM to the SE X1 such that the data (documents, pictures, music, etc) on the existing ROM does not get overwritten?

You have to backup these things, like putting it on your SD card or PC. No other way.
Seriously? There is no way of me getting to my data?
I am able to start the phone (get the "beta expired message" plastered all over the screen).
I can get into the bootloader and when I plug the phone to the PC I see a Microsoft USB sync device but cannot sync with it.
Is there a way to start active sync via an autorun file on the SD card?
Come on...there has got to be a way for me to get to the data on the phone.

You cannot sync with it because your phone isn't on. As far as I know there is no other way then flashing or hard-resetting your device.
not that I heard of
the q sounds familiar, wasn't that already raised in another thread...?
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general

Same OP btw
on topic: afaik there is no way getting your data from a beta expired device (except the data on the storage card). And you can't flash a ROM without erasing the data on the phone.
What ROM are/were you using?
Maybe try contacting the Chef to see if he has any ideas...
I was using the Energy ROM. I already contacted NRG and he was not very helpful.
When the phone boots up, I can see the custom background image. I can also, with some messing around, get to the slide show and I see that all my pictures are there.
However, I cannot get the phone to connect to my PC via activesync (possibly because activesync is disabled on the phone). I tried to blindly navigate the menus but no luck so far. On the other hand, I was able to connect the phone to my PC using bluetooth, but for some reason OBEX file transfer is not working therefore Bluetooth explorer does not work with the phone.
If I slide open and closed the screen, I can somewhat navigate through some screens. If I hit the START button, I can navigate through all the menus, but then nothing shows up because of the white screen.
This is really frustrating because all my files all there, but just a wee bit out of reach.
I toyed with the idea of flashing with the smallest ROM I could find and then dump the ROM back to the PC and then use recovery software to try and recover the files. I would need to experiment with a second X1 just to be sure that it could work.
At this point, any ideas are more than welcome, and anything other than "it can't be done" will definitely be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello
After a couple of days of hunting a new update for my new phone, I got to a dead end.
After trying multiple ways (most of them are from here so I will post only 2-3 links): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732362 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3695364&postcount=4 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211 , the problem was the same. After sync and starting installation via USB (phone freezes) and SDcard (phone freezes automatically with starting Heret.exe) I don't know and really can't find a way how to remove WM6.5 (and put android) or someway update or install a fresh version.
I hope someone will be willing and able to help me with this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Dude, what *exactly* is your issue? From what I can see, you're trying to install android and it's not working for you..
Either way, first, format your SD before trying anything. See if that will get your phone to respond. If not, get a new one. The problem with SD cards is, when they fail (or get corrupted), it can cause your phone to "almost freeze". Instantly fixed by removing the SD. And booting the phone without it usually allows the phone to work normally.
The SD is brand new (4GB), and I also tried with 5 other SD cards (2 and 4 GB's).
I don't think it's to the SD card's, its more to the damn phone and I have no clue how to reinstall WM or put Android on it. And that the issue, how to prevent completely freezing while sync via USB and boot from SD card.
Hope you understand better now neocyke
Well, honestly dude, a T5388 is not exactly a TD2, so, what would work on an actual TD2 might not for you. Based on my experiences with clones, best is to flash with no SD in. Try visiting this thread and use the ROM there. Get the IDT flasher and work your way from there. Oh, and you might wanna remove Activesync or WM Device center before flashing.. Good luck with that..
As for android, installation for XDAndroid is the simplest thing in the world. Just unzip the FRX06 zip file to a folder (andboot is usually used). Take the topaz startup and put in the root of that folder (remember to edit as needed). Then copy *the entire folder* and dump it on the root of your SD. Run Haret from WM and that's it. Just wait for it to boot.. But then, this is assuming that your phone is supported by XDAndroid of course. You might wanna check that in the android dev section..
After checking my device site I noticed that my HTC was not in the list so I grabbed it and turned it on, I was greated with a BSOD,
Now it doesn't react anymore on charging attempts, plugging it into a pc reveals Complete file system access.
It's now being treated as a USB device and any button on the phone of course doesn't work now. Is there anything I can do to resurrect this thing?
Hi,
Since you have complete FS access, copy the device's contents to your harddrive for research if you didn't do so already, :good:
You have not mentioned using any recovery tools, I suggest you start there...

I did not mentioned recovery attemtps but tried all which are possible for Windows Phones. The device is dead. I could copy all Contents exept "AppInstall, Programs, USERS, Windows and DUMP3584.tmp" which I couldn't even move with admin Access or Unlocker.
