Hi
I just got from Ebay an used HD2 LEO, with installed IGO 8.3 + maps.
Question: If i flash a different ROM, will i loose the IGO, or i can install/start it from the storage card? Also, if i upgrade to a bigger card, may i just copy/past it there?
BTW, the HD2 is light years above my ex Toshiba TG01.
Depends if they left the installation cab on the card.
To more directly answer your question, the Rom flash will erase everything from the phone.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
There in not any sign of IGO in the device. I looked in all directories, not only in Programs and Windows. It seams to be only on the storage card.
Despite that i'm assuming that there is some copyright protection, which not allows just to copy/paste it from one storage cart to another and another phone/rom.
Nobody?
Really?
So, no one ever flashed new ROM, since having IGO installed on the storage card?

Personally I don't use IGO but a other Navigation Software.
In normal cases the software is storage on the SD (also the protection key) so install a new Rom don't mater!
The only thing you can't do is format your SD because it will remove the protection.
the only thing that get lose by Rom update is the Quicklinks,

Before you do anything, I'd recommend that you backup all your storage card contents to your PC or another storage card. You should also consider backing up your HD2 with Spb Backup or something similar. Then, if you can find a copy of the specific ROM that's already loaded on your system, you will be able to fully restore everything back to its current state, if needed.
In regard to IGO8, I'm guessing that as long as you do not wipe the storage card, IGO should be fine. You will just need to copy and paste a shortcut of the IGO.exe to your Windows\Start Menu\Programs Folder, once you finish flashing your new ROM.
Hope this helps...
Best to all,
R

Check your storage card with a file explorer, and verify that the IGO.exe is in the IGO Folder. If it is, you should have no problem backing it up or moving it to a larger card.

I have flashed many times and can verify that you can reinstall iGO8 from the 2577 folder on the storage card with all of settings in tact.

I agreed...as long as the 2577 and IGO folder is store in your storage card its doesn't really matter either u flashed it or do the hard reset on your HD2. Currently I am using IGO 8.3.4 for HTC HD2.
Thanks
I'm going to look out for new ROMs. I love this game.
OK I flashed and IGO still works.
Thanks for the support.
Does anyone knows how to get a quick-link for it, since it's on the SD card only?

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
regards,
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,
i have a t mobile ppc edition.i have a 512 mb sd card,and when i install programs on my sd card after 2-3 days all the programs are erased and it keeps happening.can anyone help me pls?
there is a problem with sd/mmc and multiple inserts/removals. Its a bug of WM200X and there is no fix for it. I unlock my sd card only when I need to change the data on it. Otherwise my card stays locked. Do a search on this forum for "Multiple SD" and "SD Erase". Good luck!

This bug only on wallaby's (XDA 1) running "WM2003 " it doesn't happen on WM2002.
I have an XDA 1 running 2002, and the SD card wipe problem also seem to happen to me.
I have an O2 Rom version 4.01.12 Eng.
According to this page: http://www.kbalertz.com/kb_843287.aspx
the problem might be related when two or more programs try to access the same files, so the data becomes corrupted and apparently being wiped...
Anyone have a solution or a suggestion?
I tried to follow this thread for a fix (Rune quoting spadb): http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=7230&highlight=sd+files
I can find in the registry a reference to a SD.DLL, but can't find it under file explorer, even when displaying hidden items.
Maybe one of you other XDA1\Wallaby users can find it in your device?

Not searcherd for it on the device. But in the basic ROM its in there...
Should be located directly in the windows folder. i think you have to enable your device to see all files. Normaly dll's are hidden...
HTH
Stefan
I've enabled my device to see hidden files...
Can you upload and attach that DLL please?
I'd like to try to tweak the registry a bit :wink:

Can anyone else confirm this? :roll: i really dont like PPC2002 but i dont want a wipeout again...
I'm afraid I can't confirm that, I tried to format many times as FAT32 or FAT16 and I experience the same problems as before...
Try this patch, it worked with me 100% on my Wallaby device with no SD erasings since more than 3 months 8)
Use any registry program (Resco Explorer 2003 is great) to install the registry keys or enter it manually..
Don't worry, the patch is non-destructive at all !
( you can do a backup before running this patch if you wish :wink: )
i saw stefan has a much longer version of this. does anyone have any experience with either file? BTW should i even do this if i have never had the problem before?
cheers
Similar problem on XDA II
I have noticed a similar disease on my Qtek 2020 (XDAII):
When I run it with an SDCard 512 Mb there is no problem at all, goes perfect, but as soon as I put in a brand new 1 GB SD card it crashes within a day or two. And it is irreparable... I've sent back one card to the supplier, but now on my second try with a new card and after reading in this topic I begin to felle a bit coldsweating... :x
Anyone else who has specific experince of this on XDAII?
Yup. went to use navigator today and found my SD card was nor showing. Tried it in a digicam at work which crashed the cam.
In my card reader here format shows as RAW and am having a help of a job getting it reformatted.
I use the XDA II
I also face similar problem, what i used to do is just take my sd card out and re-insert
and it worked for me
removing and replacing the card has no effect for me.
can anyone help with formatting an SD card (1GB viking) that is "unreadable" in a card reader and in RAW format??
pretty please?!??
Can apps be stored on the SD card? Albeit via a hack.
Thanks
Phil
Yes i want to know this also?

From what i'v heard the phone has to be rooted first, which hasn't been done yet.
I may be wrong though.
Surely not much of an issue with the larger space for apps anyway. Needs root, but once that's there, I'm sure A2SD will follow.
Dayz xxx
you can download apps from the web put them on your sd card and install them to your phone (they stay on sd card) with out root. go to the market download "appsinstaller"
go to Settings>Applications> Check Unknown sources and your ready to go.
you just put .apk files on your sd card and open the app. thats it
Yes you can install .apk files from SD and yes the .apk files stay on your SD card to install them another time,
but the apps are not running from SD card, nor are they installed on your SD card, they install onto your fone, and take up fone memory.
UNLESS you get root and run an Apps 2 SD type application.

This question isalso very important for me before Buying such an expensive phone!
Any good news or still impossible? Because i read everywhere then with a rooted Hero it is still not possible to install on SD cards.
Never impossible!! Its android not apple... > However, I reckon Aps 2 SD will be done on the hero at some point - rooting is already there.
Point of info - The Hero has around 150MB of space left for apps after a factory reset. The Magic has 295MB with the standard ROM - HUGE difference isn't it and I was gobsmacked, so maybe apps2SD is more needed than I thought on Hero....
That said, the hero ROM has a lot of stuff in the ROM that has to be added on Magic - twitter apps and widgets, Weather apps and widgets, sense UI, Loads of other pretty but big widgets built in. I may start to look at anything I can remove using Root Explorer - I never use the built in You Tube App, Footprints looks like it can go (10mb big I think..) and a few others...
Daisy xxx
Well Hero Has been Rooted Already and i mean its just a matter of time until developers gets started on their work.
Apps2sd has been done for both the G1 and the HTC magic and soon the Hero as it is 100% Possible.
btw. just like Dayzee said the phone already has a good amount of space for apps. or at least i dont see the need for it.
Hey guys,
I'm using an HTC HD2 with newest Energy ROM.
I downloaded iGo but when I install it, it says:
There's an older version of the program on the storage card. Do you want to downgrade now?
I don't even have an older version on the storige card and why downgrade?
And then, it only makes a shortcut for uninstalling iGo and not a shortcut for running the program.
What to do?
I'm running this on mine, but i use a seperate sd card, formatted and then copied the data across, there is protection in the software. Try coping it to the sd card and then running it from within the phone

This means that you have already installed an older version of the igo, there may be on your sd card a folder named igo, but check also in the device memory (program files) for igo folder. Also u may delete the save folder.
Hi,
I've just updated to Lollipop and had been under the impression that I would now be able to move some game files to my 64gb micro sd card.
However, while the app manager seems to have a 'Move to SD' button, all that seems to do is move files within the internal storage of the device, rather than moving them to the actual SD card. When using ES Explorer, rather than the file manager that comes with the tablet, it has two 'SD cards' one of which is actually part of the 12gb of internal storage.
Is there a way now, without rooting, of moving files to the 'real' sd card rather than this fake virtual one? What is it with the whole fake SD card anyway? What a crap and deliberately misleading way to do it.
Cheers.

I updated my stock z2 tablet to lollipop yesterday, happy as hell for the return of app2sd, and sadly a few moments after installing the first few apps I noticed precisely this. All of the apps I moved to the sd card do not transfer to the external sd, but to the internal "fake" sd partition (not visible on the file explorer that comes in the device, but es explorer shows it). I mean, this totally defeats the purpose, I still can't use my 32gb card to store app data after all, and everything is where it was on kit kat: inside the limited internal storage (16gb wifi version here). Why on earth do I get the option to transfer to sd if stuff isnt rly being transfered to sd?
I've spent the entire afternoon looking for ppl with similar issues, and even though I found a few, I haven't found a solution or an answer anywhere. Does this happen to only a few ppl? Or is it that most ppl just root/unlock/flash roms and nvr notice this?
Is there anyone around here that can shed some light over this? Goin crazy here :/
There is a new update from Sony which fixes that.
A. 1.28 for 521 or A. 1.30 for 511.

Where did you find this A.1.30 build ?
I'm under A.1.28 rooted and still can't move entire app to SD
Slight bump - but I'm also still afflicted by this, despite my 521 being on 1.28. Can anyone confirm if it should be necessary to factory reset before being able to correctly push apps to the SD card? I use my tablet mainly for games and streaming, so I have a pretty much useless 64GB SD card which is 99.9% empty even after "moving" all my apps and games to the "SD card".
I certainly didn't have to factory reset mine before I could move to SD - it just worked after doing the latest update.
OK, thanks! Looks like something's gone wrong for me then as I still can't do this.
According to Solid Explorer, I've got the following symlinks in my device root:
/sdcard (-> /storage/emulated/legacy)
/sdcard1 (-> /storage/sdcard1)
In /storage, I have a symlink called sdcard0 which also links to /storage/emulated/legacy.
/storage/emulated/legacy, of course, just takes me to my "internal memory". So when an app gets "moved to SD" it ends up staying exactly where it was.
Is there any way to fix this? Can I remove the symlinks safely, or recreate them pointing to the correct place?
