Does WM5storage work on the WM6 OS? I have tried it and when i plug my device into my desktop it says that is has recognized a removable disk but disk management doesnt show it and partition magic doesnt recognise it either. So, am i just not doing something right? or does it not work for anyone?
Yea, I havn't been able to get Wm5torage to work either, although I did get it to work on my T-Mobile MDA with XM6 on it, but not with my Sprint Mogul.
Bump. It was included in jak dillards most recent 2.17 rom update but yet I can't seem to get it to work. i keep getting error code 1F.
anyone with any luck?
are there any other apps that make the ppc into a flash drive?

I have brought a second hand spectec SDW-820 but it didnt come with a CD with drivers. i have an XDA I and i have installed the cab driver that is on spectec website (FCC version).
The driver installs successfuly and places the tools on (wlan etc). i place the card in to the sdio port and a screen comes up with "Unrecognized Card" with a box to place the name of the card in to. i do this but i cant get the device to work any further. i cant run the wlan program ever. i am running win mobile 2003se on my xda. what can i do, is there any chance i can have the iso for Setup CD if that will help (email: [email protected]).
Have any of you got any ideas on what is wrong?
Thanks guys
James
I think it will never work with your device.
All Wifi cards i know require a SDIO Port and the XDA I only has an SD Port.
So no chance to get it working....
Stefan
thats a real shame. is there any way to upgrade the xda to sdio?
Thanks james

im wondering if any1 has the cd that came with the t-mobile mda....the cd with the drivers and the activesync...if any1 has it please post it...in iso form...or just all the stuff that is on it...
CDs are generally useless IMO, I would recommend going to the Microsoft website to get the latest version of Activesync and your provider to download any official updates for your device.
Of course you wouldn't be here if you weren't interested in cooked ROMs.
well let me explain my problem...i have windows vista and cant update because it isnt compatible but i got a virtual pc and it sayes that i should use the cd...to get the drivers for the t-mobile mda...cuz i already have the activesync...buti need that installed...

Get ActiveSync direct from Microsoft. It will install the USB drivers needed to sync with all supported PDAs and SmartPhones. You don't need anything else... besides Outlook to sync the contacts, etc.
ok ty ill retry
vista's activesync is build it, dont worry about it, it should just automatically install the nessesary stuff
mda cd tmobile
..i found it....may be a little late...still interested
Hi all,
I just upgraded my xdaII from WM2003 to WM2003SE which seemed to work ok.
I then got the issue where the screen stops responding and worked out how to edit the config.txt file, ok I thought I'll just re-install SE.
So I dock my XDA into the cradle but it wont connect with active sync 4 anymore, which means I cant install the OS again.
Can anyone help me??
Cheers
Marff
nevermind, did a hard reset and the pda is working ok now, still doesnt want to connect to Activesync tho
when flashing you dont want it to connect to activesync anyway
best thing is to set activesync to not sync on usb devices let windows find the pda as a non as device and then flash
also if you change the extented rom as in config.txt and reflash you are likely to get a new extented rom and a new config.txt overwriting yours anyway
most of the time when you change extented rom a hardreset is what you want
Hi rudegar
I didnt get as far as reinstalling the OS with the modded config.txt, once I hard reset the pda after installing it the first time it worked ok, it installed the O2 extensions and worked fine, except MSN messenger wont work, where before it would.
i tried disabling what you said and windows wouldnt detect it at all.
With it enabled I could see it as a mobile device in my computer, but not access it.
Also the active sync window would not load, the taskbar icon is there, but when you click on it the window does not pop up, but you can get to the options
its annoying as I now cant install any programs onto the pda, I dont have a USB reader for the SD card at the moment.
not sure whats going on

really? cos the program I ran to upgrade the OS, himaupgradeUt says the pda should be docked and synced??
just installed activesync on my other pc and the pda syncs ok with it.
I downloaded the only official update from the HTC america website and when I try and run the update, I lose my active sync connection. It stays connected until I try to run the software. Also, it works fine when transferring anything else like music, pics, or vids or whatever. I can usually figure stuff out, but since I just got this thing and Im no computer programmer I was hoping one of you genius computer guys could help me out.

read the wiki ...
Thats funny, I knew someone one reply with that. I already have. I would try to upgrade using the sd card but the instructions are obviously for someone who know about the stuff. How about someone giving me some better instructions on how to use the sd card to upgrade. I dont get all the extract the .nbh file and do this that and the other. All I see on my pc is the program I downloaded. I click on it and it runs the program, I have no clue how to extract files by right clicking because there is no option when I right click to extract files.
one of you pc usb is rubbish i got a macbook running vista and one of my usb i cant use to flash roms or it will just die i think power isue just change usb port

If you have a computer with lots of stuff plugged in by USB, they are sharing the same 5V that is required by the Hermes.
IE - a computer with 6 port USB (3x2), each 2 USB are sharing 5V
plug 1 out and leave in hermes just for flashing period
so it get full 5v
Ok, I downloaded Winrar and tried to extract the .nbh file and that didnt work either. Instructions in wiki says put it in bootloader, but when I do, I get a screen with like four different colors...Not the one on the pic in the wiki. I only have two usb ports and this is from my laptop. I am only using one port when I try and I do have the power plugged in when I try. Its windows xp if it matters. Im at a loss. Does this mean I wont be able to upgrade my 8525 at all? Maybe someone can give some better instructions on going through the sd card and getting into the right bootloader mode?

anybody want to chime in and help me out here?
AS version is current?
have you tried out a different cable?
consider using a different pc/notebook.
first thing to do here is to troubleshoot connection with AS. once you fix that problem, you should have no problems upgrading..
also, make sure your device is not set on a power/battery saving scheme. make sure its set to be always on with external power.
It's normal that when you do the upgrade, your activesync it supposed to automatically disappear. I had the same issue and I downloaded the ATT official ROM from this site, using that to upgrade. It upgraded my firmware and WM6 also. After that, I use the unlock CID to unlock my phone and Ihave been able to do upgrade serveral WM6 after that ... Goodluck.
I presume you have HardSPL'd your phone?
I only now every flash from the MicroSD card, much safer than using USB as that can be very flakey depending on which machine your using it on.
gt2slo, you need to do a little more reading if you haven't already but flashing from the MicroSD is pretty straight forward. You have to open the ROM you are using with WinRAR and extract the .nbh file to anyway on your hard drive. It always works.
The screen you saw in the WIKI is the one that comes up after going into bootloader and the device sees a file called HERMIMG.nbh on the MicroSD card
anyone know if this can be done? I haven't experimented with syncing my phone to ubuntu since I couldn't find my usb cable will be trying it tonight though. I thought id read people had issues doing it with vista so I was wondering if its possible with ubuntu.
I would like to know how to do this to because I use Macbooks and duel boot OS X and Ubuntu. Or if anybody knows how to flash from OS X that would be awsome to.

Never had an issue whatsoever with Vista. To be honest with you use the SD card method. Sooo much faster. As far as working in Ubuntu I would doubt it without some sort of Windows emulation.
virtual software // whine ...
you can probably use a virtual software to emulate windows XP and then do whatever you want to do to ur phone

the sd card method won't work right for me since I don't have a card reader.
Use the SD card method. NueSPL will allow you to reflash the boot loader from the SD and it's very easy to reflash the ROMs after that. There's a couple of ways to get the files onto the SD card without a card reader, the most obvious is to download them using the 6800 itself, saving them to the card. Or you can use the Sync connection to copy the files. Or install WMStorage and have the computer treat the 6800 as a card reader. Or set up your email on the 6800 and email the rom files to yourself as attachments.

I run a wireless network at home. My computers and my titan can all communicate via the wireless network. A couple of my computers run webservers.
When I want to transfer something from a linux box to the phone without using the card reader, I just copy the file/program/whatever to the appropriate folder on a computer so that it's accessible via http. Then I turn on the wifi on my phone, connect with Pocket Internet Explorer to the IP address of the computer running a webserver, and download the file to the memory card.
Alternatively, I've seen ftp server programs for Windows Mobile. You could install one of those then ftp over wireless from computer to your phone.
Or, lets assume you don't even have a wireless network. You obviously have at least a wired internet connection, since you're posting something here. You could still install a webserver/ftp server on a machine, forward ports to it from the router (NAT), find out your public IP address, and then connect to your internal webserver from your phone using the public IP address on the forwarded port (I'm doing this with Finchsync so I can re-sync my calendars away from home).
Part of being a linux user means figuring out alternate ways of accomplishing tasks, as I'm sure you've already noticed. There's usually an answer out there, if you can step back and think about it. Sometimes it's elegant; often it's quick & dirty.
Edit:
For the record, I've never had any luck trying to flash my phone from a Windows VM inside of linux. ActiveSync could never recognize the phone right. I was using 64-bit VirtualBox, but you might have better luck with VMWare or 32-bit VirtualBox if you decide to go the VM route.
active sync is not compatable with wine. i never tried virtual box or vmware under linux. dcds kitchen wont work under wine because you cant run bat file. but the best bet is the sd card or sharing a folder on your box ( if u have wifi ) and useing an app on your phone that allows network browsing like resco. like mentioned above.
I tried just downloading the roms with the phone onto an sd card. but when I flashed the radio the phone wouldn't boot past the splash screen. how else would I get back to file explorer? after I flashed the radio wouldn't I need to rename the os rom to titanimg or whatever it is? then flash again? or is just one flash. that's the part I can't seem to understand in any guide I've found.
