I feel like a moron. Are these drivers available anywhere? I'm on the road, don't have a card reader, and want to put files on an SD card using my activesync cable.
Assuming you have ActiveSync installed, once you've established a connection between your PC and the SX66 (using USB/BT/WiFi), hit Explore in ActiveSync on the PC, then double-click on "My Pocket PC" and "Storage Card". You can then drop files on that window to copy to the SD card.
If you don't have ActiveSync, download it from Microsoft.

I upgraded my T-Mobile with PPC 2002 to the WM 2003 final ROM cooked in Lumpi Stephan's kitchen.
Ever since then, if I try and deploy a Visual Studio.Net application to the device, it more often then not says it can not establish a connection with the device, even though Active Sync is connected and synched up.
This problem is preventing me from trying to put on another ROM via USB craddle using Jeff's OSIMage Tool.
I do understand I can use an SD card to upgrade the ROM, however that doesn't solve the connection problems.
Does anyone have any idea why I'd be getting this error and any suggestions on how to fix it?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Have you tried flashing with sd card using xdatools and nbf file with sd memory card?
how do I use the SD card?
I just ordered a card to see if I can resolve this issue....
Here is my scenario. I don't have a SD card reader on my computer. But I do have two PPC's - one that is working with Active sync and XDATools recognizes, and one that XDATools isn't seeing though Active Sync IS seeing it.
Can I use XDATools to put the ROM on my desktop to the SD card that is inserted into my working PPC, then put the SD card into my half-assed working PPC and install it somehow (of how to do that I am clueless)?
Suggestions? Answers?
Thank you much
You need to download a rom and choose sd card flashing at the base of screen before flashing, you will then unzip the downloaded file, you will have an nbf file, this file will be used by xdatools to program the sd card in the card reader on your pc, When using xdatools, choose the nbf file as source and choose the sd card in the reader from the drop down menu under destination, once it is programmed you insert the card to the phone, push reset while holding power, push centre of 4 way rocker switch when prompted, once finished push once in hole below headset socket, wait one minute and push once more, your phone should now reboot with the new rom.
Anyone know of an application that will allow me to check the micro SD card is OK ?
I suspect I have a fault in the card as I had to recopy 2 folders and the PC can't read the card directly.
It would be nice to check first without going through all the backup and restore time (16 gigabyte card).
Thanks, D.

I've never heard of a WM program to do this but you could try putting the card in your pc and using Scandisk command.

Thanks - but the PC does not recognise the card !!
But, you've given my the idea to try it directly from a DOS window using scandisk from the command line.
Thanks, D.
Active Sync?
Will you get access to the (corrupted) storage card while connected your THD with activesync?
Other way to check could provide EasyRecovery from OnTrack and your THD has to be connected in diskdrive mode.
In generell I used a tool named h2testw - which was developed by a German Computer Magazin called CT. http://sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/2008/09/02/h2testw-14-gold-standard-in-detecting-usb-counterfeit-drives/
This is the best one to check physical errors on every externel memorycard connected through USB. It has to be used on a new formated card.
Thank you for the tips I will explore those.
I'm not sure what the problem is. I can see the card via active sync but not via USB style connect.
I can not see the card when I directly connect it via a card reader.
I was able to use a different card OK and reinstall my GPS app (Route 66) which had gotten screwed up by this card "fault".
I'll report back on results ...
Hmm
These two don't work because I can't see the card from the PC (except via activesync)
There is a file called "~Recycled" in the storage card which does not show in the standard pocket pc file explorer but does show up in total commander.
Maybe that is causing a problem - will investigate on google what this is.

Noop - that's not it. Apparently this is just a delete folder from Resco File Explorer. It should not stop the PC from seeing the card.
Searching further ...
same problem here, I am contacting Orange to try to get a replacement. Not sure if its under warranty.
Try Pocket Mechanic for PPC... it has a Scan Disk utility amid a collection of others.
Successfully repaired my micro SD card with this when my HD was having problems reading my storage card some 3 days back.
Good luck!
when my tp2 is connected via usb to my windows 7 pc, it shows up in windows explorer as a device with two separate folders (main and storage) and this is fine and lets see whats on the phone etc.
trouble is there is NO drive letter, so programs that can only access via drive\folder cant access it.
ne ideas.
when you plug it in, you can tell it to connect as a drive device, that makes your storage card a flash drive. Otherwise, it is normal for the device to not have a drive letter, as it is not a drive, but a device.

thanks for the reply.
but thats ok for accessing the storage card but what about the phone memory itself.
for example cfc gui, once loaded asks for location of manila files, but it is unable to browse the phones internal mem.
this phone does some wierd things when connected to the pc. sometimes it locks itself out of its own program files, but when you detach from the pc everything works normal again.
Hi,
For some reason I've been unable transfer files to my (external) SD Card while it's installed in my S3 and connected via USB. I always get an error message (on Windows).
I always have to pull the Micro-SD card out and connect it via a card reader on my PC.
Anyone else encounter the same issue.
I'm using Windows 7.
I could post screen-caps of the error messages later if needed.
Are you able to transfer files to and from the internal storage of the S3?

When you are attempting to transfer files are you dragging the file to the phone storage or external? When you drag the file over your phone it should auto open a dropdown that has phone and then SD card or external card. Also are you on a bootcamped Mac running Windows 7? Mac will throw those errors unless you copy the file from your Mac partition to your Windows partition.
Just to knock the easy ones out of the way... USB debugging enabled, drivers installed for MTP?
Can you post the error message please?
And no the irony isn't lost on me that I own a macbook pro and have a member ID poking fun at Apple. I'm a full Android convert. I love my macbook though...
Anyone else having the issue where they can't transfer files from their Win 10 PC to the phone? I have it set to File Transfer mode when I plug it in via USB into the computer. When I pull it up in File Explorer, it says "Phone". Double clicking it shows my MicroSD card and the internal storage. Then when I try to click and drag or Ctrl-C Ctrl-V a file into either spots, nothing happens. I did try enabling USB Debugging mode, but that's not required for a simple file transfer. This is honestly kinda ridiculous. Also, when I'd take my MicroSD and move files from windows to it by connecting it to a USB adapter, the files transfer onto the card, but as soon as I plug it into the phone, all those files disappear in the file explorer and are replaced with a file or folder called System Volume Information. Anyone else having issues??
Nope have copied files from what's app for printing and copied my music to phone storage and external memory card as well,

I had no issues using the steps you used. I just grabbed my USB-c to USB cable for charging my old oneplus, and it worked.
I used Bluetooth to transfer a few files from my PC to my phone. It worked great
Bluetooth works, plugging in phone (sd card formatted as internal storage), and Teamviewer works. I think I might use Teamviewer as it's similar to a ftp client program, makes it real easy.
What did you format the sd card as? Internal or external storage?

Same here.
For normal files and documents i just use Google Drive, i don't have huge important files i need to have when i am out and about so i am unable to test this as i haven't had a need to plug my phone into a pc for 2-3 years.
Bluetooth would work or an SD Card reader, as there are so many ways to get files between a pc and a phone without a cable its partly why ive not even bother to check the does my phone work with my pc step. Back in the days when you got Software and Drivers for your phone are a thing of the past.
I using wi-fi to transfer files you can easily find an app for that

Which app are you using?
Heya, chiming in here to suggest Airdroid...look it up, useful and needs no plugging in, just used your WiFi networks to do the transfer, very useful tool (I,d like to thank YouTubes Mr Mobile ((Michael Fisher)) for that)
No problem here also...I just use my GoPro5 Type-C Cable with my Razer, and Copy and Paste in Windows Explorer....easy. I recommend you try another cable
Using an anker "normal" usb to usb c cable works fine to transfer files. But I can only transfer files to the SD card, internal storage doesn't appear.
For transfer via WiFi I use es file explorer, it connects fine to windows shares even with needed auth
