Yesterday I cracked my screen on my Vario III. My phone is due for upgrade Jan 2nd 2009 (2 weeks away), but I am unable to back up all info on my phone. If I connect via ActiveSync, I need to put in passwcode (on phone) to unlock it, and connect to PC. But as screen is completely knackered, I can't tap on my passcode.
Is there any possible way to get onto my phone, and back everything up via A PC, as the screen on Vario III is not useable!
Cheers...
Search for MyMobiler, it will push the needed software to your device & let you remote desktop to it via activesync (or WMDC in Vista). Works great.

Hi already tried that.
But to get the screen up on MyMobiler, I need to get it connected via WMDC in Vista, which means me tapping my passcode on the MDA's screen. But am unable too, due to the fact the screen is cracked.
Any other suggestions please???

That just may be your undoing then. I don't know if you don't have a partnership does it still prompt for passcode? you could try connecting it to another PC and connecting with a partnership (but I think you'll still need the passcode)... Too bad you didn't select to allow automatic authentication in WMDC Settings for that partnership.
My wonderful wing has official went out on me. My screen is completely black on the phone but the phone is still on and works. I remember seeing a program where you can see you phone interface directly on your pc and interact with your phone when you are in sync. It was a very simple and effective program. I have searched the forum and Internet for the particular program as a matter of fact I don't know the name. If anyone can help me find this program I would really appreciate it!

well i have a program called my mobiler and i can do everything from my computer that i can normally do from the phone but realign the digitizer

Retrieve files from internal storage if device will not pass the AT&T network splashs
Title: Retrieve files from internal storage if device will not pass the AT&T network splashscreen
I have an AT&T Tilt. It will currently not pass the AT&T network splash screen upon power-on. It will not pass this screen even if the SIM card and/or the microSD card is removed. This condition has befallen my device previously and has something to do with buggy software which I must use. The remedy for this problem in the past has been to hard-reset the device, reinstall my software (or install a backup), and continue life until the next failure.
However, this time I have the misfortune to have files in the internal storage of the device that I would not like to lose. I am therefore seeking ways to retrieve these files before I hard-reset my device.
I am aware of the “bootloader” screen and how to reach it, but do not understand how to employ it to meet my ends. I have obtained “mtty” (mtty_0513_Test.exe) and “qmat” (qmat_435.zip), but do not understand how these tools may be of use.
My device states the following versions at the network splashscreen:
R 1.27.12.11
G 22.45.88.07H
D 1.57.00.00
My device provides the following information at the tri-colored bootloader screen (red over green over blue):
KAIS1*0
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD-8
In the white area below the tri-colored boot loader screen the text “USB” appears when connected via USB to my Windows Vista Ultimate (Service Pack 1) 32-bit machine and “Serial” displays when the mobile is disconnected from the computer.
The computer searched for drivers for “Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM” when the mobile was connected in bootloader mode, found drivers, and reported that “Microsoft USB Sync” was successfully installed. This is reflected in the Windows Device Manager.
I therefore seek a means of retrieving files (or binary dumps that can be resolved to files by post-process) from my device. I have at my disposal only my computer, a low-bandwidth internet connection, a USB microSD reader, my mobile, my mobile’s SIM and microSD cards, and a USB cable suitable for connecting my mobile to my computer.
I certainly understand the importance of regular backups and I observe this practice to the best of my ability. I appreciate any insight this community may have for resolving my issue. This community has been an invaluable resource to me in the past and provides a wealth of both raw information and well-maintained solutions.
I don't pretend to be an expert, but off the top of my head, (my experience is with XP, not Vista) have you tried connecting, and browsing the device from My Computer? I've retrieved files from my PDA and my Excalibur when the screen broke using this method. I didn't try this with SMS files, however. Not sure on that, or even if your device will boot up enough to be browsed, but it's a thought.
Device not available through "My Computer"
Barkleyfan, thank you for your notion. I am unable to browse the device in that conventional way, for my device will no longer appear in the storage list provided by "Computer" (Vista did away with the "My"). Furthermore, the mobile will no longer appear in "Device Manager" of the Windows Control Panel when attached by USB and powered-on with no special keypresses (leaving the device to hang at the AT&T logo splashscreen with version information displaying). However, if the device is attached by USB and powered-on while holding down the camera key, a special red, green, blue, and white screen will appear. In this mode, my device will appear in "Device Manager" as "Microsoft USB Sync". Sadly, this does not make the storage appear in "Computer".
That is, my device does not seem to boot up enough to be browsed, so to say (at least by conventional means).
I have used software to dump the memory contents of USB-connected embedded systems and other software to render Windows-readable files from those dumps. This software was used when the standard user interface portion of a device was destroyed or other severe issues plagued the device. I am therefore in search of a similar suite for the Tilt/Kaiser in particular or the MSM7200 in general. In short, I have exhausted my means of finding that for which I think I am looking, but I certainly remain open to other approaches.
Cheers, sinnombre.
I've exact same problem that is am unable to pass through the AT&T splash screen...
Hi Friend,
You've described the problem that I've faced just 2 days back... I didn't take back up of my phone and since now I am unable to pass the at&t splash screen, I am not able to do anything!
By any chance, did you manage to retrieve the content of the phone memory i.e. contacts or any other file? please please please help me get over with it if you find any solution...
I've been using this at&t tilt for almost 3 years and all my contacts and other details are stored in it. I understand i did a very childish thing by not backing up even once but its too late to talk about it now!
Please help me if there is any way I can repair it or get the content by any means.
Your reply or any solution or suggestion is by heart and highly appreciated.
Thanks so much in advance.
Hi Guys, I have a similar issue now. Can you tell me if I could somehow get my contacts information. I have a lot of contacts on the phone ... A solution to this would really appriciated. Thank you.
First, thank you to the developersfor all your hard work that made the Windows XP "downgrade" possible on the shift.
I now have a Shift running running XP tablet edition, and it does so beautifully!
However, Everything I've been finding online in regards to the WLAN driver is for Vista. I can't, for the life of me, seem to find a working XP WLAN driver.
If anyone out there is chuckling to themselves and thinking, "hehe, well I've got that driver right here!" Would you be so kind as to post it?
Thanks in advance.
I think you managed to start the wireless using the ioperm from cygwin and the wf-on.bat file. When you start the wireless go to device manager and you will se there something with "!", just right click and use update driver, point to the folder where you downloaded the wireless driver from the HTC support site and that will work great.
PS: the guys are using a mod'ed sdbus.sys to use the wireless but the SD card then stops working... a way for both to work that I discovered is like this...
you just started your device, ok? now go to sleep mode with it and wake, now you have both sd card and wireless working ! then what's the catch? everytime your OS restarts, it's needed to sleep and wake again to make that work, I think is an exploit in the sleep module, you can investigate more using some development software if you're interested
no dice
Dalvus, when I try that, it tells me that "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware."
Any suggestions?
Regardless, thanks for the info about the SD slot, that's going to be really helpful if and when I get my WLAN working
so I understand your problem...
so here is the scenario, tell me if I'm wrong. Your wireless device doesn't appear in the control panel and the green light from the low level menu is not blinking. You should have been activated the wireless before installed Windows XP, so you need cygwin, a program that allow a linux shell to be run in Windows environment and to add the ioperm application while installing it.
I also used Windows XP Tablet PC SP3 to which I slipstreamed a file so it could read a VL serial and make it 100% genuine with no hack.
The problem at your device is that you do NOT have wireless chipset activated.
SO this is exactly what you need to do:
1.)start your device, let windows load, and then check your leds, if the led below the wireless/bluetooth is blinking blue that means bluetooth is activated, if it's blinking green that means wireless is activated, if blue and green as well are blinking, both of them are activated, so SKIP to 3.), if not blinking carry on to 2.)
2.)none of two leds are blinking so you need to activate them AND make them been recognized by Windows XP so install cygwin in c:\, just google for cygwin is free, when the installation starts, make sure that you check the ioperm program from devel submenu. now run cygwin.bat from where you just installed and type there:
ioperm –i then hit enter
exit then hit enter
now that you've just installed the I/O permision, google for hsect2.exe and place that .exe file in \cygwin\bin\
download these here http://dl.fisier.ro/files/1gjld5kjleh3fij/controls.zip.html and place in \cygwin\ where you installed or everywhere you want, where is a folder named controls, let it that way, now use the WF on and BT on to make it start, but still unrecognized by Windows/
3.) so now the leds blue and green are blinking, that's good, now restart windows and let it fully load... go to sleep mode and wake it, your wireless is now been recognized and sd slot as well, FULL functional, install the driver from the device manager and you're set to go
so i've done all of that, and i had already installed and run cygwin, i have both green and blue LEDs blinking under the bluetooth/wifi illustration... i restarted the pc, i put it in sleep mode, brought it back up, tried installing the drivers, and i still get the same "The specified location does not contain any information about your hardware." message.
Am I using the right drivers? "sd8686"
I just don't understand the problem, and it's looking more and more like I might have to reinstall xp to correct the issue..
I don't think it's necessary to reinstall Windows. To check if ok do this...
you said the blue and green [BT and WiFi] are blinking, ok. But Windows DO NOT recognize the device in any way, it DOES NOT see it !
Now go to sleep mode, and then wake it. Now in device manager you should see the "!" sign assigned to Marvel SD8686, if you can't see it, you can't do anything about it
PS: I'm selling my Shift in 1 week if no bluetooth support is for WinMobile part, I need to use all features
okay, so for some reason, i've been able to get teh bluetooth to work. so hooray for that!
but i'm still having the same issue with the WLAN. I've attached a screenshot of my device manager.
as you can see, no matter what i've tried, (including all the help offered from this thread), the shift still does not see the wireless card.
any further help would be greatly appreciated
note: the WLAN LED on the front panel of the shift IS blinking both blue and green but apparently the shift still does not see the WLAN adapter
you weren't paying atention...
one thing is to activate WiFi and because XP... other thing is to recognize it.
blinking means activated... now sleep it ! and wake it... it would recognize the WLAN...
if you restart XP, you must do the sleep/wake again to make it recognize
I have been listening, I assure you.
As I stated, I've tried EVERYTHING mentioned in the comments provided, including making the Shift sleep and then reawakening it. I'm still left in the same situation as you see in the screenshot above.
Hello there, I am tryig to sync my phone with usb cable via windows mobile center 6.1. My OS is Win Vista home premium. My device is recognized by PC as media device and thus it could be set up by windows media player. When the "advance network functionality" on my PDA is checked is off, the on PC -> Network connections there is no local area connection to the mobile device. If I am checking the check box, then the laptop creates the connection to the mobile device, active sync starts to work, but nothing. The sync process is not completed and the status on the PDA is "connected. BTW in this situation I am able to browse the device and its file contents.
Tried to uninstall->install the mobile center few times - the same. Upgraded to the official WM 6.1 - the same. When trying to connect to PC with WinXP and active sync 4.5, everything is fine. This causes me to think that the problem is definitely in Vista.
Please, if anyone have information on this problem or could help, would be great.
Thanks in advance to anyone who might post any feedback!
Regards,
Stephan
