since im working this days pretty far from my home i arrive late to my home perhaps in my work i have my usb wire so i can use the massive storage.
the thing its the files for linux like .nomedia and so on, so i cant copy to windows and then copy again to the new SD since i dont have time to install linux at home (and maybe i dont have space lol ) so anyway to do in windows? because i buy a 8 gb SD and i need transfer all my files :s thanks =D
Why do you need the .nomedia files? Can't you just show hidden files in windows and copy them all?
You don't even need to install linux, just grab a live cd and your good to go.

live cd indeed i have a distro iguess if not i need download... and i said .nomedia as example there is a lot of "system" files
you know, I'm sorry for the dumb question.
I've just selected all, copy, and pasted onto a new card.
Does this not copy everything?
sorry, nevermind, I read that wrong

could be, perhaps windows take some files and "configure" or add a extension for this files and do not a copy. for example try make a .nomedia file in windows and you have an error, so when you copy windows could not copy or rename or add a extension .
but maybe in some cases do a exact copy, not happen to me at least on w7 isnt copy all files ._.

I have been searching for some programs for my XDA11i but although some just provide a link to download straight onto my XDA alot do not .
As you probably know many progs just give you a CAB file or winRAR folder I have no idea where to put it ... ie ... in the XDA windows folder , or temp folder etc ..
Sorry to be a pain but please keep the explanation SIMPLE !
Thanks .
I use my storage card as default.
Cab files go direct to the card.
I check to see if the RAR files need to be unpacked first then transfer to card in device
So I just copy and paste the files directly onto my SD storage card ??
Yep,
then you run them by double tapping and that is it....
Is that CAB files or WinRAR ones OR both ?

do not unpack cab files only unpack rar files on your pc, also many cab`s will only run from the phones memory not the sd card, just transfere them using activesync, select explore and drag and drop then run them from your phone with file manager buy clicking on them were u put them

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
Hi All
I try to change welcome screen but i can, it says access deny.
any advices?
Regards,
Dophinxda
Hello,
yes firstly access denied is because it is being used, so what you really do is to create a same name file outside of the directory and then paste it into the XDA windows\ directory.
Alternatively, you can always copy the file with the same name into your sd card and then copy and paste it under windows directory.

The welcome screen cannot be replaced when using Windows file explorer. It will say "access denied". You should use Total Commander or GSFinder+.

Where can i this guy! would u like point me there!
Guy ??? its a program
the easiest way is to connect ur ppc via active sync and explore your windows folder through it, replace the PNG file and softreset
I think that is what he/she did and could not make it to work. I totally forgot that I use the tool and should have mentioned it.
Anyhow if you need that file I will upload it tonight when get back home so you can install it onto your xda and then try it again.

I'm running short of storage space on my Diamond, and while browsing around in File Explorer I noticed that there are copies of all the HTC demo media (album samples, mp3 files) in the Windows folder - there's easily 2-3mb worth and I could do with deleting them. However it won't let me, is there a way to get rid of them?
Kind regards
Dave
maybe this help
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=38008&highlight=touch+diamond+guide
Thanks, that was helpful - but although they talk about deleting files from the Windows folder in the thread, it doesn't exactly detail how :-(
Kind regards
Dave
most files in the win dir are not in storage but in the rom itself
and can only be deleted by cooking ones own rom
also rom space not used is not merged with storage
so i would not really help you
if you want more space
You can do it by replacing them with some 0 KB files that have the exact same file names and extensions. I just posted this thread for 46 useless files in the Windows directory that will free up more than 10 MB. If there are any other files that you want to delete, just create a new text file, rename it to the file that you want to delete, then copy it to the Windows directory to overwrite the original file. Always backup the original ones in your computer just in case you want to restore them.
I was also thinking about this, but didnt test it yet . Very helpful.

That's good to know, thanks.
If, as I understand from reading earlier posts, the files are indeed in the ROM and they don't actually take up storage space then I might as well leave them where they are.
Thanks!

Download it man, and unzip it in the root of your SDcard , then run the HARET in your PDA... its all
i have download there seems to be only 1 file ive put it in the root of my SDcard but i cant find a file for haret maybe a link could do
also which files must i download becuase ive only download the System pack in Post #4 and like i said there is only 1 file there
I'm also a noob, but I figured it out.
1. download the other file on post #4. The "bundle."
2. open up windows explorer, if you're running windows, so you can open up the SD card. Make sure it's formatted in FAT32 (right click on the SD card in explorer and look through the properties, or just click "format."
3.unzip the bundle file, there should be a folder named "andboot" in it.
4. copy everything from "andboot" and copy it to the SD card.
5. Go into the folder, in all the junk you just copied, called Startup Config.
6. Find your model, "Topaz" and copy the statrup.txt file, not the other one.
7. Go back up to the top of the SD card and paste it there.
8. Disconnect the phone, and go in through file explorer and run the file Harnet.exe on the SD card.
It will take some time, but it should all boot up fine.
Watch the video, it should help, if not, ask more questions.
(it wouldn't let me post the link, so search youtube for TheDeadCPU and watch his video on XDAndroid 2.2)

I installed the XDANDROID 2.2 on my HTC DT2. It works fine the only BIG problem I have is I can't type in the terminal emulator for some unknown reason.
I tried everything and don't know what to try anymore.
