does anyone know how to share a folder on your Universal

Hi, i have searched the forum for an answer but i had no luck, plenty of threads on how to map a drive of a PC onto your Universal but not the other way round, i have a folder on my SD card that has all my simple system tools for PC in it and i would like to be able to go to a WiFi network and be able to access the folder from any PC regardless of activesync.
I hope i didn't make my request too confusing but im sure you will know what i mean because it would be very usful
Thank you so much for your time on replying in advance

The best software for you is WM5torage.
By Ingvarr:This program will export the flash memory card as usual USB Mass Storage device (ordinary "usb disk") - effectively turning smartphone into flash reader. It works with many (not all) Smartphones and PDAs on the market that use WM5 as OS.
Latest version is v1.53 - it's free , fully working Mass Storage Software working with WM5.0 :
You can find previous version here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45411 or new after some changes here:

Thats Brilliant, thank you so much for your reply, but i don't think i didn't explane it right, i already have a program for doing the USB mass storge,its called 'Card Export 2', its brilliant and so fast, but thats not what im looking for because you still have to physicly plug your phone in to a PC, i want to be able to 'SHARE' a folder on my phone, i.e Mydevice\my document\STUFF, just like you do on a PC, and then be able to run/edit/copy/paste stuff in that folder from another PC using WiFi, so in other when i go into work and connect my phone to the network using WiFi i want to be able to go to any desktop and access my files on my phone without wires, i.e in explorer type-
\\myphone\stuff
('myphone' being the name of my device & 'stuff' being the shared folder on my phone)
have i made it any clearer?
please let me know if im not making myself clear

hi jab1a,
in the past i was also dreamin about a solution you have described. in the meantime i have learned by other posts that this is not possible as providing drives or folders as a network ressource is not implemented in windows mobile. so no way of getting an easy solution for that. but in other cases wm5torage works very well for me until somebody has worked out a way for wireless sharing of folders.
best regards
peter

Hi,
I use a piece of software called V m Network Browser. lets you copy and paste files and play files over the wifi network.
Great app
its shareware but small price for a good piece of software.
hope this helps

hi nightspider,
thanks for your input. just one question left: is this software running on your desktop/server pc and it allows to play around with files on your mobile device or do you run the software on your mobile device and play around with files on your desktop/server pc?
greetings
peter

It was small misunderstanding from me :wink: . So maybe ( not tested on WiFi) idea of the ftp server on PDA :?: ?
You cand find ShareIt FTP( no shure if working on WM5.0 :?: ) http://www.noisette-software.com/products/pocketpc/ShareIt/

Hi peter_altherr
Yes it runs on the Pocket pc nothing needed on the desktop pc apart from the shared folders

Install Artemis Vanilla 2.01 through SDCARD possible?

Hello.
I have just upgraded my WM5 to clean official O2 WM6 (via SDCard Flashing - worked great)
I have a problem with USB connection (it doesnt work) so is it possible to install Artemis Vanilla 2.01 by Sdcard flashing?
Thanks

How do you mean it doesnt work? What type & size of memory card are you using?

How are you charging the phone??
Have you tried other USB ports?
Do other USB peripherals work on your PC?

i expect the problem is the same as a few of us have (me included). the USB board has been blown up, usually from putting on charge in the car and then starting the car, inducing a large current, resulting in the USB control board in the phone being blown. You can still charge off USB, but nothing else.
There is a way of flashing from the SD Card, its in the Wiki, but your phone MUST BE CID unlocked first!
Has anyone found a way of CID unlocking without USB sync?

I have this problem with my usb too! I've tried upgrading other to other roms via SD but get an invalid certificate message for anything other than the official o2 rom.
I guess what we need is a way to run the USPL from an SD card before then putting in a card with the new rom on it. Any ideas if this is possible anyone?

why not try using the 12 month warranty?

its way over its warranty.

It is definitely possible. You just need to know how USPL is applied. I mean, start_uspl, what does it exactly do? It copies certain files, and then execute them on the Pocket PC.
The best solution is ask pof(developer of USPL) for manual step by step methods. You can then post it here for others too.

Sounds like you flashed one too many times. The Custom RUU's do not reformat the ROM chip. Flash a Stock ROM like one of the HTC Official Updates. This will have the stock RUU which does format the ROM chip. Then, you can go flash any ROM you like. I had this same problem once on my Kaiser where folders would disappear.

Hey mate, does it means that if I flashed too many ROM in a particular period then this problem would occurred? lol~ I didn't clearly understand what you explained.

Not that it would occur, but something similar "could" occur. This is why in the Kaiser section they always told you to flash stock/hard reset/flash custom ROM of choice/hard reset. It's not that you need to, but doing so an help prevent weird bugs from showing up like what he explained. It's just like installing Windows on a PC, they always recommend you format the drive on each install or your install could be buggy. For best results you format so the drive is clean & no left over files that can screw with the new install. Plus, low level formating will gain back bad clusters in the hard driver/ROM chip lost during use by data corruption. This format process is disabled in the XDA made Custom*RUU.exe for various reasons. So the more ROM's you flash, the more changes occur on the ROM Chip & the more likely a bug could appear.

Check in the ROM's thread. Also, you may need to clear the PC's sync partnerships. If you have flashed a lot the PC can only handle so many Partners. Each time you flash a new ROM, it creates a new partner as it think's it's a different device.

how do you soft and hard reset the att tilt 2? Had an old tilt and I just got this a few days ago still figuring it out

Soft Reset hole is on the side of the device. It may be under the battery door. The side with the stylus, under the secondary Mic.
Hard Reset is done by holding Send/End/Power & pressing Soft Reset with stylus. Hold the Send/End/Power keys till the Hard Reset message appears onscreen.

This was the first flash I did and after a hard rest still will not sync and nothing in the thread for the rom. I cleared all my partnerships. The phone is connected and I can transfer files to and from my storage card. Do I need to update the device driver on my pc? Any way to get my outlook 2003 contacts on the phone through my storage card or any other way?

If running XP you need ActiveSync 4.5, if running Vista/7 you need Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1. All drivers for the devices come from those programs. Have you tried manually opening Active Sync/device Center to see if it's connecting/seeing the device? Also, make sure there's no setting on the device making it act as a USB Mass Storage drive. Some ROM's give a app or setting to do this as it increases transfer rates for copying files, but it doesn't allow syncing.

I have win mobile device center and know sync. the phone will connect for usb mass storage and I can access the files on my storage card. when I connect my phone it gives me the option of outlook sync or flash drive. I select the outlook sync and the first time my pc said the device was installed successfully but no recognition from mobile device center.

Hum, I'm at a loss, I would post in the ROM's thread to see if anyone else has/had this issue. Maybe it's ROM related?!?!? I'm running ROMeOS without sync issues. Granted I don't sync anything, but when i open device center the device does show up. I always check this, because if the device isn't seen by WMDC, I can't get data connections while connected to USB. I have this problem a lot because I removed WMDC from startup as I don't want an app running in the BG taking up resources when I don't use it.

actually what i did was flash my rom through micro sd because my phone wouldnt load to the home screen so i wasnt able to connect to aactive sync. thank god i got my wife a tp2 also wich i was able to dl the nnhb file on the micro sd card and then just run it from my phone but yes i did flash my rom way too many times during this past weekend id say about t times in a days is there a limit of times you can flash a device per day because i dont want to fry my phone up lol silly me

For future reference, you don't need to flash via SD if you are stuck. Just follow these steps.
1) Power Off
2) Hold down Volume Down button
3) Plug in USB Cable
4) Boot Loader appears onscreen & at button in White space says "USB"
5) Flash ROM via PC as normal.

yea but its not going to be connected to active sync so how do i get the nbh file onto the phone unless i can just run the ruu and it will flash

ok now everytime i try to flash my rom back to the stock one through micro sd it starts the process but then the back light turns off and then the phone stays off and i have to hard reset it can someone help me and when i connect it to the pc it has the bootloader but it says error on the bottom of the screen
do i have to flash my radio back to stock also?

I had the same problem... luckily t-mobile has a buyers remorse program... because I could not get the active sync/WMDC to work either... did you download the wifi cab on another thread? I ask because this is what did it for me? Or maybe a combo of cabs but definately linked to the wifi cab... Gettin a new phone today... if anyone figure this out, make it a sticky!

Install firmware from SD. How?

Hi there, My P3300 doesn't synch thru the usb cable, probably a false contact. Moreover, after a Backup it stopped working. I have the backup.exe on the phone, but I can't run it as I get the msg "digital signature not available or one of the components cannot be found ...". The phone is no more usable as probably some sw is missing.
In a few words, can anyone suggest a method to get a Italian firmware, and a method to burn it in, assumed that I could only use an SD card to inject it in the phone?
P.S. I don't care on saving the data, it would be enough to have, again, a working phone.
Thanks anybody for your patience, reading.
Bye

Hi,
I've had synching problems before too.
I've tried everything, but the only solution was a hard reset.
This restored the (active)sync utility and everything was fine after that.
Of course all data was lost!
Have you tried a hard reset?

Gio mass storage.. or is it?

Hi,
Now I know that someone has asked this before, but googling through here ( as in the internets ) is near impossible unless you know exactly what you are looking for.
Now the Gio is somewhat left behind, because to use it as a mass storage device ( flash drive/card reader ) you have to have Kies drivers installed. This is, of course, frustrating. I've recently flashed to CM ( phiexz YOU ARE THE CORNERSTONE OF GIO COMMUNITY AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED ) in hopes that this would be fixed, because in my own mind it's a software issue... Turns out that it still needs drivers. I don't know what levels of complete retardness one must reach to do something like this to a 2011 smartphone ( even a budget one ).
So the question is : how do you ( is it possible ) to use mass storage capability without drivers installed on host pc?
Thank you.

Nohow.
Since the PC itself needs some drivers to recognize all of the capabilities of the phone, it is nearly impossible to have your phone making prober connection without drivers.
Although, in Linux(Ubuntu 11.10) I just connect the phone and recognises it as a card reader. This may be because of the Linux basics of both system, I dunno.

Well several other phones ( LG p500 for example) can be used as regular flash drives ( sd ) on windows based machines without any drivers or CWM's

Never mind but why installing drivers is such a big issue? I installed kies once I bought this set and since then I just connect my device to windows machine and it detects it as a drive. I don't use kies at all!
And if you find installing drivers really frustrating then try using apps that let you transfer data over wifi connection (airdroid etc.). They don't require drivers (hopefully) but i'm not sure though. Better give it a try.
