Hi there
I have a big problem with my phone,every time that i try to save a program on memory card i can't access the icon, it appear like corrupt and impossible
to find the program.I can access the program from my phone using the file explorer for example:
Memory card/program/ if i do it this ways it work's but not from the program section.
At the beginning i thought that was a problem with my memory card,so then i've bought another new one, Sandisk but i still have this problem!
Is it a problem of my device for example the slot of the memory card?
Does anyone had my same problem?
Please Help Me!
Can someone help me please!!!

I have never installed the program to microSD... I always install to device. I am not sure how you can fix your problem. I am sure someone on the board will know what's going on.

Hi tetsuokaneda,
Your problem was broken link between shortcut file and executable file of your application!
You can use File Explorer to:
- Delete some died shortcut in "/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/".
- Go to "/Storage card/Programs/Your Applications" and make a shortcut from executable file again
- Move a new shortcut to "/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/" folder
You can check by press Start/Programs, if it shows the right icon it is possible to active. If not, you have to soft reset you device. Event, you must Hard Reset!
Lucky!

maybe this ROM you are using doesnt support installing programs to microSD. try flashing to a different rom and formatting your micro sd and see if it happens again.

Ok so here is my problem....
everytime my phone starts it copies over the following files to the root of my storage card "pim.vol, eT9Cdb.Cdb, eT9Rudb.Rdb" so when i do a hard reset i put into the initflashfiles.dat
Directory("\"):-File("pim.vol","\storage card\pim.vol")
Directory("\Windows"):-File("eT9Rudb.Rdb","\storage card\eT9Rudb.Rdb")
Directory("\Windows"):-File("eT9Cdb.Cdb","\storage card\eT9Cdb.Cdb")
I also tried, as a test to copy them to my documents and that also did not work. Now the rom still loads and it does not freeze during first boot, if you were thinking that i did not delete the first two bytes. it just does not copy them from the storage card to the device i had it setup like this on my x7500 and it worked perfectly so im not sure what the problem is. Any thoughts ?
thanks for looking

You could try using a provxml file operation instead? Not sure if initflashfiles generally is happy about copying from a removable storage device such as the sd slot (just a guess), since in your Athena it is a fixed disk it may behave differently??
Another thing you could try is to do the copy operation as a stage of the customization process, use an xml file in there?? Perhaps the SD bus driver is not loaded until after initflashfiles has completed since really it has to run that before alot of other operations on first boot?

I'd use CPY1/CPY2 in a UC script

i thought about doing this but i read somewhere that sdautorun does not like spaces in the files path.... thanks for the info
ok so i tried using the cpy1/cpy2 and it actully worked however it did not copy over the pim.vol so i tried to copy it over manually and it let me but after i did that i could no longer press on contacts, calender, or get to the phone pad any thoughts?
I think you'll probably need to close down any process actively using the pim database before copying it over, it's probably open when you're overwriting it and getting corrupted..

i changed the reg values to my documents then changed them back, i am kindof thinking that htc may have set this up a little differently on the TP which is why i am having so much trouble but thats is only my guess
ok so im thinking part of the problem is that the pim.vol file is working with some other file for contacts, here is why: i copied the pim.vol file from my rom renamed it pim.vol_ put it into my rom and flashed it, of course i put Directory("\Windows"):-File("pim.vol","\Windows\pim.vol_") into the initflashfiles.dat file and still not contacts. so i have no idea why this does not work any thoughts. thanks
today form a strange reason all my files and folders on my sd card the file explorer was reading them as an .exe file so i couldnt open any file so my d*ck was full of it and i formated the sd card now it works but i lost all my games save's etc why did this happen?? and sory or bing rude but this pisedd me off
Why did this happen?
Because you formatted the card. I'm fairly sure you were warned that you would lose all your data...
But before you have a strong word with yourself you had almost certainly lost it all already because it sounds like the card's data area became corrupted.
or the file associations had become corrupted.
Next time, copy everything off to the pc first, and if you have a card reader, maybe get the pc to scan for errors. its sometimes recoverable.
or the file associations had become corrupted.

I don't agree. File associations is different. That determines which file extension is managed by which program. The OP says all his files showed as .exe's.
i was assuming he actually meant nothing would open and he was getting a 'this is not a valid aplication' type error or somesuch rather than the file extensions all actually reading '.exe', because the first scenario i have heard of, the second i haven't.
First time for everything, of course.

I'm not sure that CD would have helped... It sounds like, at best, the FAT, (File Allocation Table), was messed up. The system would have noticed that the backup FAT didn't match the primary and have given some warning. It seems like it didn't. That implies that both FAT's were bad. That's unrecoverable unless you are desperate. (For "desperate" read: rich).

The system doesn't check both FATs to see if one is fragged. You (the user) have to initiate that check by running CHKDSK /F.

After I Odin'd back to stock (eclair). I tried to reinstall packages and get-

I tried putting update.zip back on the sd but got the same thing.
Anyone know how to fix this?
HELP! PLEASE! I dont want to be stuck with stock!
Make sure you put on the update.zip on the internal storage (not the external).

Yes. It is. I removed external sd.
Hmmm...no idea then. Dumb question, but it is named "update.zip," and not "Update.zip," right?
As was stated before, make sure you are placing the file on the internal sd card. You also might consider redownloading the root file that you are attempting to use on the off chance that it is an issue with that file, even if you have previously used it.

Yes.
This is probably completely unrelated, but are you using Windows?
Yes. 7. 64bit
This is dumb, but turn on "view file extensions" or whatever in Windows and make sure that the file isn't named update.zip.zip. Almost certainly not the problem, but worth a shot just to check.
Hope you figure it out.

inspired by the other thread with the icon... I made a new one and attached the autorun... just unzip to your root of your sd card and make them hidden.. unattach and attach and viola!
Any idea why the Streak would be erasing the "autorun.inf" file each time I connect it? The "DellStreak.ico" is still on the root but the inf file gets wiped each time I connect it and it's driving me crazy.
I use these icons on all my devices to identify them visually and this is the only one that's giving me this problem

no clue why this is happening to yours... did you try making the autorun.inf read-only?
I read somewhere here in the forum, although not here in the Streak threads that Froyo by default deletes and autorun.inf files it finds on either the internal or external sd cards.... any truth to that or a workaround for it?

Well that's the very point of my question.... the autorun.inf file I put on the root of the SD card gets erased. My question earlier was how do I keep this from happening.
I create an autorun.inf file that says:
[autorun]
icon=.\DellStreak.ico (this is what's in the file if I put a hidden icon on the root of the SD card)
or
[autorun]
icon=autorun\DellStreak (this is what's in the file if I put the hidden icon within a folder that's called "autorun" on the root of the file)
Either way, the icon is still there in the root of the SD card, so is the "Autorun" folder with another DellStreak.ico icon inside of it, and no matter which approach I take, when I disconnect the Streak and reconnect it, the autorun.inf file has been erased. Thus that leaves Windows without a directory command to look for the icon when it gets connected to the computer.
I hope I haven't lost you in what I'm doing. What I am doing is correct, well at least it's correct for any other device I connect to any other PC I have ever used.
I have flash drives, sd chips, external hard drives, and I have these files in all of them so that when I am looking at all the drives on the My Computer page, I see the icon associated with that drive, not just a generic icon and a letter.
Aight I think I got it to work now....
Disconnect the Streak from the computer and uncheck USB debugging.
Reconnect to the computer and places the files on the SD of the Streak like you want them, read-only and hidden. Mount and unmount from the computer a couple times to make sure you .inf file is correct and you are seeing the icon by the drive letter.
After a couple of successful attempts I got brave and went back and rechecked USB debugging and the file was still on the SD after a couple of disconnects.
I don't know enough about what's going on for this process to have worked, I just got lucky
Edit: no longer working this morning, the autorun is once again gone from the SD card (this is driving me crazy, I see no good reason for this sort of programming)

Sounds like your Screenshots directory is missing, try adding it manually... it is located in /storage/sdcard0/Pictures/Screenshots, if the Screenshots directory is not here you get this error.
