Hi,
i am using O2 Atom with WM 6 Professional installed.
Every time i backup my device using SPB backup and reset the device as prompted after the backup, the memory card will not show in the File Explorer anymore. But if i reset the device again then it will show in file explorer again.
Anything wrong?!
This only happens when memory card has not been properly initialized by the OS. Try removing and putting it back together.

Hi,
I upgraded to the 4.01.00 build of 2003. I decided after a bit that I missed the stuff I could add in from the kitchen and also for some reason when I tried to install something to the SD card it would just create a cab file on the card... So I manually started the cab installer from the location and it automatically installed the software into main memory?
I went back to a new brew of yorch's kitchen using 4.00.16 with hopes that this would be resolved...
I dont seem to have any problems accessing the SD card.. the data is transfered over fine... although I set Activesync to use the sd card it only ever copies the cab file and then shows the program not installed.... if I go to the SD card I can see and run the cab file copied over by activesync... but it only copies it to memory
I thought cab files installed relative to your current location (i.e) you run an install from the SD.. it gets installed to the SD.. run it from the main memory and it gets installed to the main memory.. etc.
But I'm totally confused as to why activesync refuses to install anything onto the SD card itself.
Has anyone else recieved this problem? know how to fix it? any ideas?
currently it appears I can only use the SD card for music/files or whatever I want to store rather than install other programs...
cheers for any help,
Ian.
I would uninstall your current version of activesync and install version 3.7.1. If you have 3.7.1, I would do a reinstall. It sounds like the issue isn't your SD card or the ROM that is loaded.
upps, on my XDA I everything works fine ...
I mean installing software to SD card and running the software from SD card, others things are not that smooth .... but the above mentioned is ok
I do use WM2003, version 4.0.21 T-Mobile ROM

monika
Just thought I'd add how I fixed the problem...
I stopped using this
http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/fg/dockware.htm
everytime I hard reset my device the first thing I'd do was install 3 programs...
Iliumsoft Dockware Pro
Tillanosoft Small Menu Plus
Omega One Battery Pack 2004
On that build (4.01.00) of the ROM Dockware would pretend to install by activesync... but it wouldnt even copy over or anything...
After doing that, the rest of the software would follow straight into main memory whither I asked it to or not.... the exception to this case was a few programs like Resco explorer and a few games that did install to the card.
Everything else just copied the cab files over to the sd card.. and then when you installed the cab files from there, they went into main memory.
So.... I hard reset the device and didnt install DockWare at all.... every piece of software installs fine now without a hitch...
Strange huh?
MOTD: dont use Dockware on later builds of 2k3 heh
Hi gang,
One quick question, I wish to back up the current image on my device (Rom, settings, installed apps). Can I just use the bootloader and back up to my SD? If not, what's the best app to use for a wallaby running WM2003?
Thanks!
Hi linger1974,
The method I used is as follows.
Get the XDATools from this site.
Install the XDATools.
Now you have the XDA OS Image Tool.
Use this tool to read the current OS, and save it to your PC.
You now have a backup (*.NB1) of your XDA OS.
Make sure to have about 15MB of free space on your SD card.
Use SDBackup on your XDA and make a Backup to SD.
You now have a backup of your 'working set' of installed applications on the SD Card.
Use a card reader to attach the SD Card to your PC.
(Your PC probably sees it as a removable harddisk).
Make a Windows Backup of the SD card.
(RightMouse> Properties> Tools> Backup Now>)
Burn a CD with the downloaded XDATool, the XDA OS backup (*.NB1) and the Windows backup of your SD card (*.BKF)
Store the CD in a safe place .
In case of a severe emergency, find the CD which you created above, use the XDA OS Image tool to write the XDA OS NB1 back to SD Card. (If necessary install the XDATool which you burned on the CD).
All existing information on the SD Card is lost forever (but we still have the *.BKF on CD).
Perform a Soft Reset with your Stylus while holding down the On/Off button.
Release the On/Off button and perform the OS upgrade.
Now you have restored the XDA with the original OS.
Use a Card reader to attach the SD card to a PC. Format the SD card.
Perform a restore of the *BKF on CD and be sure to restore it to the SD Card.
Place the SD Card back in your XDA and use SDBackup to resore the 'working set' of installed applications.
Perform a normal Soft Reset and you are completely restored.
Hmmmm... your quick question did not result in a quick answer from me.

Would this be the same method for the XDAII? If not, can somebody explain to me how to do a complete backup, settings and all?
My recommendation would be to purchase a copy of Sprite Software's Sprite Backup ver 3.0. Excellent program! It even creates self-restoring backup files, so you don't need to install the program before you can restore the device.
Excellent program! Indispensable!
Thanks a lot, Palmtest, for your reply. Sure, it wasn't a quick one, but the detail was much appreciated.
Hi,
I've noticed that when I soft reset my XDA2 with the SD card in place, ans after it has restarted, deletion of files or creation of folders in the main RAM or Storage folder using the default File Explore crashes. It takes so long I have to soft reset again the PPC. This problem started when I had the SD card for my XDA2.
I tried to soft reset without the SD card, and inserted the card after that, and file/folder deletion/creation was working perfectly. Does anybody have any inputs on what might be the cause of this one? or any solution for this problem?
Thanks.
I did have similar file explorer problem, hanging when copy and paste or file deletion. But I identified the cause come from using one of the picutre as wallpaper. When i resume to the default wallscreen, file explorer operation is back to normal.

Thank you very much
Hi, I have an HTC HD2 which I recently upgraded it rom ver. 1.66.415.9. I used spb backup to get my main memory files. Somehow, in a way, I was able to get all of my files anfd programs with windows settings and registry using ROM upgrade mode without changing the rom version back to the old one. But the then when I took pictures then tried to open them in albums, they weren't saved. A probition sign (circle-backslash "no" sign) showed up. I tried to open it but an error shows up saying "unable to open this type of jpg file" and then the sign diappears, as if the image wasn't saved. I even tried saving a note file. After saving, I opened it but instead of showing the notes I wrote, symbol characters showed up as if the file was encrypted. After rebooting my mobile, the note file wasn't there. I still have enough storage space to save more files and pictures. Did anybody face the same problem that I did? Please help me and thank you in advance.
Can anyone please help me? This is really stopping me from being productive!
i would suspect the file associations / locations have been corrupted, probably by restoring the registry from a different rom.
(Registry really ought only to be copied over to fresh resets of the same rom, not new roms. It can be done, but its prone to issues just as you describe)
AND/OR
the image library files have become corrupted. Look in your image folders, and delete album.cache files. They will be automatically rebuilt.
I would try to consolidate what you have as it is now, if your files are all there, and your contacts are there, backup your contacts by some means, ensure all your files are on the sd card, and hard reset.
I have hard reset my mobile a couple of times, even before restoring the pim data without the system settings, the camera would take a picture but the picture wouldn't be saved on the sd. But after I restored everything, I thought of uninstalling resco file explorer (thinking that it was the problem) and deleting the library files, but nothing changed. But when I thought of formatting the sd card, I tried to reinstall resco explorer as it has a formatting feature. At first when I tried to install it to the sd card, it failed to install, but it was installed successfully in main phone memory. I opened resco and went to the formatting option. Once I started formatting, an error messege appears saying "Failed to format sd card. Please make sure that the sd card is not locked." Does this mean that if I formatted my sd card, the problem would be fixed? BTW, my sd is on a FAT sytem. To which type should I format the sd?
Thanks in advance
hmmm sounds like a funny sd card then.
use fat32
Seems to be the sd-card.
When I upgraded my ROM from 1.48 to 1.66 I restored main mem with everything with SPB-backup-file and everything worked fine from the beginning (except in setting tab still shows the info that old 1.48 ROM is installed).
Hope You made a backup of Your sd-card. So format sd on PC and copy back all files, should work then....... hopefully .......
ok now that's just wierd! I tried formatting the sd using the laptops card reader with the micro sd adapter, but an error appeared saying "Windows was unable to complete the format". I tried deleting the files but the laptop froze. I had to remove the sd to get it back working. Then I used a usb card reader. Some problem. Finally, I used the phone via the usb to format the sd. The error appeared again, but there was no problem when delelting the files. But after I tried reformatting it, the error appeared and the files on it also! It's as if there's a lock switch inside which the micro sd shouldn't have. What should I do in this case? Is there a program or a file that can unlock it?
Thanks in advance.
This is really irritating. My card doesn't allow me to save or delete anything. Formatting didn't work. I even tried a program to detect a fault on it but nothing shows up. All formatting programs freeze when I start formatting my card. Deleting any file doesn't work as it is restored after resetting my mobile, and finally, no body has faced such a problem. What should I do?
I'm using a Sero 7 Pro with dolorespark's ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2709243 but I suspect the issues I'm having are nothing to do with the ROM, so I thought I'd ask if anyone has any ideas.
As I encrypt my devices I can't make Nandroid backups from recovery, so I use Online Nandroid Backup which lets me make CWM or TWRP backups. I've never had any problems before but now I'm unable to create the backup to my external SD. It seems to work normally but at the end of the log it shows "Error: Could not change to /mnt/sdcard2/clockworkmod/backup/2015-06-20.01.00.27. Exiting...exitcode [07]". If I make the backup to the internal SD instead it works fine but obviously that's unavailable from recovery, so it's not much use having the backup there.
So then I tried to copy it using ES File Explorer from the internal to external SD but whilst that appears to work, when I check the destination folder in ES it only shows recovery.log and if I check it from my PC it shows more files but only totalling 251MB, when the backup is actually 1.3GB.
I also found that accessing the tablet from my PC, the TWRP folder (after I made a TWRP backup) didn't appear in the folders listed, although it was fine in ES. That issue seems to be fixed after rebooting both my PC and tablet however.
Then I tried to copy the TWRP folder to my PC from Windows Explorer but that errored out and the only way I seem to be able to copy files from the internal SD to my PC is to use ES to transfer them over the Wifi with the LAN, which is obviously much slower than using USB.
So at the moment, to copy files from the internal to external SD, I have to copy them to the PC over the Wifi using ES and then copy them from the PC to external from Windows Explorer, which is rather long-winded and slow. Any ideas what could be causing these problems?
I update to DopA v2.7 which didn't fix the problems , other than that I was able to copy the clockworkmod backup from internal to external SD.
So I flashed back to stock ROM and that fixed the problem with Online Nandroid Backup, which now shows the Required Space when running the backup (before that line showed no value) and I can successfully make the backup to the external SD. However the problem with not being able to see certain files/folders in Windows Explorer persists though, so the backup I just made to sdcard1/clockworkmod/backup/date_time is not visible but the subfolders/files for the previous backups I made do appear and although I just made a backup to the internal SD, no clockworkmod folder shows at all for that in Explorer but does in ES.
So I might as well flash back to DoPA v2.7 but if anyone can help with the problems with not being able to see folders/files in Windows Explorer please let me know.
