Files are not installing to SD Card - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

Hello everyone, i have WM6 Radio Version 1.48.00.00 when i install something to SD card from my phone it installs it to main memory so i uninstall it and reinstall it pushing SD Card and still nothing i don't know if i,am doing something wrong.....please help me cause i only have 2.36MB left.

I am having an issue with my SD card as well, although different from the issue described in this thread.
The entire contents of my 8 gb Micro SD suddenly and without warning seemed to have disappeared. This occurred without warning and apparently, for no reason that I can ascertain. Settings -> Memory -> Storage Card shows 3% free space as before, however both File Explorer and Total Commander both show there to be only three folders: Program Files, Inbox, and WMDRM.
If anyone has any suggestions or fixes for this problem, I would be more than happy to hear their diagnosis.
Kind regards,
Lancealot

If you pull the card out and put it in a card reader attached to your PC/Laptop, are the contents still there? If so, then do a search for "Disappearing SD card" or something like that. Might be off in the Upgrading Forum, or the main Hermes Forum. I'd suggest doing a search on Hermes and all child forums.
There was something a while back where the contents of the SD card seemed to disappear, but they were, in actuality, still there, and I believe, showed up again after a shutdown/restart.
Maybe this is the bug that's showing its head on your device?!?!?
Hope this helps,

Hmmm, Zacch88, I really wasn't replying to your message. Sorry, I know you were the OP here, but I didn't have an answer for your question, per se, where I DID for Lancealot's.
But for your latest question, yes, there are registry settings you can use to save IE data and cookies to Storage Card. You can also do it with SK-Tools or HTCustom.
To make the reg settings yourself, follow this from the Wiki:
PocketIE Cache in storage card
Create these folders:
\Storage Card\Pocket IE\Temporary Internet Files
\Storage Card\Pocket IE\Cookies
\Storage Card\Pocket IE\HistoryAdd the following registry keys, string data type:
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]
"Cache"="\Storage Card\Pocket IE\Temporary Internet Files"
"Cookies"="\Storage Card\Pocket IE\Cookies"
"History"="\Storage Card\Pocket IE\History"​
Good luck,

Thank you for the suggestion. I am still having issues with this 8gb Microsd card. I am trying to recover my files, but it still appears that the majority of them will not be recoverable to their original state. I've begun to run WM5torage on my Hermes and a program I found called Active File Recovery which should hopefully do as the name suggests..
I ran it for over 12 hours in 'Super scan' mode, however there appears to be files missing, and/or corrupt. I haven't overwritten anything so far but if anyone else could recommend any other advice, I would certainly appreciate it. Thank you and kind regards. Lancealot

TomTom6 keeps losing maps

Hi,
Every so often TomTom on my orbit loses sight of the maps I have on my storage card. I can't see any reason for this and have to recover from a phone backup . Once the internal memeory of the phone is recovered the maps are then visible.
Any ideas on what may be getting corrupt?
Cheers,
Neil
No answers but join the club and email HTC Tech Support.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285511
HTC P3300 loosing TomTom Maps
Me too. Italian OS. Once I even had to reactivate the map, after the restore. Last time that I launched TomTom receiving a msg of the type "Cannot find maps..." I just made the PDA restart with a soft IPL. Will you believe? At the restart TomTom didn't complain for any map missing.
Maybe it's a matter of low available memory when TomTom cannot locate maps.
Hope this might help you. Let us see, if anyone else is posting his experience.
Thanks for your comments.
Once TomTom loses it's maps, a soft rest wont allow it to see them, I just keep on getting the message and the opportunity to download a free one from the website.
I did a bit of playing around last night and can confirm that a hard reset then allows TomTom (installed on the Storage Card) to see the maps (I don't need to reinstall, just run the exe file) so it looks to me as if its something getting corrupt in the standard internal memory of the phone and that this is causing the loss of maps.
Neil
This is an SD card corruption issue. Email HTC to lobby for a fix. See the relevant thead.
I don't see that it's storage card corruption. If you read my last post you would see that the SC was left alone when a hard reset was performed. The hard reset would only affect the internal memory and that cleared the issue.
I think something is getting corrupted in the internal memory and not letting TomTom find the path to its maps. Maybe something is messing up a registry entry?
believe me. I have had this problem over 10 times in the last month. When the tomtom maps go missing, the map folder is usually empty. This can normally be rectified by softg-reseting the device which uses the backup FAT for the SD card (so I've read in the relevant thread) and restores the missing files. However, if the device attempts to write to the card again, after corruption (which TT does on application exit) then the card will be permenantly corrupted.

During a reset (hard or soft) WM5 will do a version of scandisk on any storage devices connected (Micro SD) which will try to fix FAT errors. So a reset does effect the SD card and can repair it.
OK RicardoC & debully, thanks for your advice.
I have already emailed HTC tech support a while ago. You know, I still think Resco file explorer may be the common link to my SD card woes..... I'll have to wait and see.

Bluetooth possibly
Hiya,
I had this problem and it seemed to be linked to the bluetooth explorer setting a new storage card (virtual), if you get this problem go into settings and turn off bluetooth explorer and check what storage options are available from the memory settings, the bluetooth storage should have disappeared. Once I'd done this tomtom could find the maps again.
Hope this helps.... and you don't actually have SD problems....

i have tryed that and it seems to do the bussiness
This also happens if you have Bluetooth Explorer activated in your Bluetooth settings.
TT6 losing maps, you are not alone.
I know this doesn't excatly help, but I don't think that this is unique to the artemis.
I have the same problem with TT6 on my himalya (XDAii). It seems to be linked to either phone S/W or BT stack as I have had it happen to me several times after I have made or received a call. My workaround is to remove and reinsert the SD.
Has any one checked if other handheld PC users have similar probs (HP?) with TT6?
I have used TT6 with no problems on X51v.
Only had the problem on the Orbit when the Bluetooth Explorer was activated.
Hi,
I had the same problem on my Orbit, never experienced the SD corruption though. I eventually solved the Map problem by following the instructions, not sure where I got them from, perhaps somewhere on this site.
The instructions stated the following:
1) create an empty file on your PC and name it 'autorun.exe'
2) create a directory named '2577' at the same level as your maps.
3) copy the empty autorun.exe file to the 2577 directory
this did the trick for me
Removed the Bluetooth explorer from the Bluetooth installing settings from the Comm manager and hey presto, maps are back.

WM6: Storage vs. Storage Card challenge...

Today I have installed 3 WM6 Roms:
- Vijay's
- Infidel's
- Midget's
All 3 are good, whith differences in apps and as far as I remember Infidel's has MMS installed (where can I find the CAB?).
Once major concern that I have is that the Extended ROM is not hidden anymore and therefore all my attachment in the emails go to 'Storage' rather than to the SD card (='Storage Card'). All 3 ROMs have this issue and with attachments of about 10MB each (all PPTs). I will run into a major issue real quick... (say after 1 email...?)
Having access to the 10MB Extended Storage is a nice to have, but how can I save my attachments on the storage card? Is there a registry tweak?
All help highly appreciated.
Having said this... The ROMs are all great. Thanks for all the hard work and sharing these dewdrops of technology with us...!
-Ireneus
ill try and find a solutions sood, btw mine has mms
Sorry Mate
Midget,
Sorry about that... I have been installing too many ROMS today..
Do you have the CAB for MMS?
Thanks,
Ireneus
no, it was integrated already, ill try and stick it in a cab when i get time
I didnt see a phone lockup issue in WM5 AKU 3.5... Also email synchonising tries to save the attachment by default into ext rom eh? I never had any such problem with Infidels ROM. Try again.
Also this phone lockup issue is only in Crossbow. Just set a password and let it ask you after a lot of hours.
btw if you decide to throw away your device, just as a second thought send it to me. XD
I test all the previous trick and it did not work
I think every kind of memory is shown as a storage so you will be able to encrypt it
Outlook is the only application in which you can not select where to store files.
If you change the path in the registry , WM6 will create another storage called "STORAGE CARD2" pointing on extended rom
Guys,the way for to hide the visibility of "Storage" (ExtROM on WM5)directory..???

Really dude, stop pretending, I know your a fool, you know your a fool, we all know your a fool. the sooner you stop posting the better.
just FYI nuclear <=> Infidel.
what is the reg tweek for 3.5 . as every time i reset windows name the memory card (storagecard 2. )
here is how to move your mails and attachments around:
You can free up even more memory on your phone by moving all of your downloaded mail and attachments to your Storage Card.
Step 1.
Using the file manager in activesync, create the following folders on your Storage Card.
\MAPI
\MAPI\ATTACHMENTS
(You can actually name them whatever you want, "Inbox" for example.)
Step 2. Now browse to \Windows\Messaging (SmartPhone) or \Windows\MAPI (PocketPC)
If you want to save all of your existing mail, move everything in this directory to the new ones on your Storage Card.
Step 3. Now fire up your registry editor and navigate to the following.
[ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MAPI ]
Then create the following keys.
"AttachPath" (Value)= \Storage Card\MAPI\Attachments
"PropertyPath" (Value)= \Storage Card\MAPI
Step 4. Reboot your phone and then goto your inbox. If you can see all of your mail then mission accomplished. Double check your attachments as well.
found on:
http://www.tleone.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=61&Itemid=59
I do a test with
"AttachPath" (Value)= \Storage Card\MAPI\Attachments
"PropertyPath" (Value)= \Storage Card\MAPI
and with : (syntax on msdn)
"AttachPath" (Value)= \Storage Card\\MAPI\\Attachments
"PropertyPath" (Value)= \Storage Card\\MAPI
did not work
Tried but failed...
I tried this as well, but no success... anyone got this to work?
I created 2 String Values in my Registry directly under MAPI... I assume that is what is meant by the instructions?
Thanks,
-Ireneus

If you use the Today Messaging Plugin, I don't think these hacks work, see explanation at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/in...can_store_your_activesyn&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
Cheers,

I think that is a tweak in SKtools that you can move the inbox to any storage card.
I applied the tweak and see the folder Inbox.xxx inside the "storage card", although inside the Mail's Storage setting (option) you may still see it pointing to "storage". [Note the difference between "storage" (created after unhiding the ext rom) and "storage card".]
Regarding the naming of "storage card2", I got rid of it by turning off the phone, take out the card, restart, reinsert the card => the naming is back to "storage card". [Note: this is not a unique issue of WM6!]
Attachements forever stick on Storage

Hi,
You little misunderstood me in the other thread.
So I decided to attach this little program. Try yourself.
Install:
-------
- unzip pr.zip
- copy pr.exe to Universal's \Windows\StartUp directory
- tap on pr.exe. You should see a Ready message in a messagebox
- Enable Messaging today plugin in Start/Settings/Today/Items tab
Now send yourself a message with an attachment.
First try with small attachments. ( 50 - 100 KB ), than you can try bigger ones.
Your attachments should be in :
\Storage Card\Inbox.mst29833559.4051713536\Mail Attachments
Check file sizes.
Warning! You mustn't go to Messaging app's tools/Options/Storage tab.
If you press OK in this tab your attachments will be again on Extended ROM.
Now try soft reset. And again send yourself a test message with attachment.
Report your experiences here.
Storage issues
The reason many of the WM6 ROM shows the extened ROM is that there is a broken module in them! I have created a new WM6 for JasJar's and corrected this issue, mine has the Extended ROM hidden as it should be, and can be unlocked via software. You can use my version it can be found here:

It will resolve your mail issue...

That's OK, but Laurentius26 is using Helmi 1.1.
Extended ROM is also hidden by default in this version.
I think Laurentius26 would like to see a solution to store attachements on Storage Card while Extended ROM is visible, after unhiding.
That was the reason why I attached that small program above.
Hmm, I'll try your version
@szilamer
Hi,
Thank you.
Sorry about previous post, last post I was teasing you a bit
Anyway I tried your little tool, and it worked before softreset,
but.... after softreset it's a complete mess.
Now I have three maps:
Extended_Rom, Storage Card (e-mail att. are there now), and Storage Card2. So I can't reach my programs installed on storage card anymore because it's changed to Storage Card2.
If I take the Storage Card out I see that the Storage Card map is still there in main memory, in this map I see the IE Cache (think that's the problem because I moved it to Storage Card with SKTools) and the email attachements. Tried to delete the map but this doesn't work because the cache is there, so I put the device in flight modus, removed your app from Windows\Startup and did a softreset.
Now I can delete the map!
Than I put the Storage Card back in and softreset again.
Everything back to normal pffff...., I'm happy again
Can you tell me what this app is doing and where to look for in the registry? It's intresting it worked before softreset!
btw. I like Jwrightmcps work to so I'm going to flash his new WM6, but it would be great if I could fix the Attachements story first, than I can make a complete backup with SPB before I flash, because there is a lot of work in this Rom already and I would like to keep it for reserve!
Cheers and thanks again,
Leo

Hi again,
Did forget something I see! Before I started this procedure I forgot to disable the today plugin!
So I have to do two things:
Disable today messaging,
Disable Messaging apps\tools\Storage tab.

SdSentry: fighting against storage card corruption

Hello all,
I've written a watchdog that allows to catch a moment when the storage card is corrupted and softreset before the driver flushes FAT and root folder.
More details are here:
http://www.nixie.narod.ru/sdsentry/index-en.htm
I hope this will help you.
Any feedback is welcome.
I'm online with MSN [email protected] (also it is my email)
BTW, it doesn't matter what brand and size of the storage card is.
I have Kingston 1GB, and _it happens.
Thankyou for your work, Nikolay. It is apreciated.
I have had the software installed for a couple of days, and all is well.
Same here Nickolay, I have already posted a reply to your post at Spb Club forum.
I have your piece of code installed for few days and haven't seen the red icon, yet. Hope never will. Tnx .... as your code can save some nerves
I have tried your program but it keeps throwing up a corruption warning saying that there is an empty directory - Program Files on the storage card (which there is - I guess it is empty because I have no apps installed on the card)
Any suggestions?

Create a file in that folder...
Does anyone know the workaround with the WM5torage program?.....everytime i launch this app the SD-Sentry red icon appears saying that there is a corruption but when i check the storage card its fine.......thanks in advance
WM5torage disables the storage card for the orbit as long as it is active. During that time it is only accessible by the PC. Other programs like Tomtom do not work, because they can't find their data on the card. So does SDsentry.
Dear programmer,
your program seems to be a fine PlugIn for the XDA-Error with destroyed directorys oon the SD-Card.
Unfortunately your program is working in english devices only as it seems.
In german devices where the storage card is named "Speicherkarte" from the german WM5 your program will creating a new folder named "storage card" where it puts its check-files SdSentry.txt into each existing directory. No SdSentry.txt-file in any Dirs on the storage card.
In the dialogwindow of SdSentry the storage card is names "Speicherkarte".
The real storage card is not recogniced and protected in this way, as I assume.
Or did I something wrong?
Will you program a german version of SdSentry too?
I would be very glad about.
because of the described problem, I wrote a mail to the programer of SdSentry.
A solution was coming back immediately, how to install SdSentry im devices with other WM5-languages than english.
The program has a little bug to find the real storage card and creates instead a directory named "storage card" in the root of the device, that contains two directorys named "My Documents" and "Programme". In each of this three folders SdSentry creates a txt-file "SdSentry.txt" for verifiing the directury-structure for accessibility later.
For getting SdSentry working on german devices (analog other languages), copy following files:
\\storage card\SdSentry.txt to \\Speicherkarte(or however the name of your real storage card is)\SdSentry.txt
\\storage card\My Documents\SdSentry.txt to \\Speicherkarte\My Documents\SdSentry.txt
\\storage card\Programme\SdSentry.txt to \\Speicherkarte\Programme\SdSentry.txt
After copying the three files, you can delete the folder \\storage card with its subdirs "My Documents" and "Programme"
Since I've did this modifications, SdSentry seems to work well on my german-XDA Orbit.
Hoping it avoids more crashs of my SD-Card.
What a fun sitting in the car and loosing Navi, adresses and all tasks for today out of the HTC. May driving back to office and reinstalling the device.
I won't count how much time cause of this this worthless phone I had loosen last weeks.

Saving Notes -files

I want to save Notes -files in Storage Card\Notes. I have changed FileDest in the Registry (HKLM/Sotfware/Microsoft/Notes) from \Storage Card into \Storage Card\Notes, but all files will be saved in the root of Storage Card.
Does anybody know, how to do it?
Looks like it should work if the registry setting is done. Did you check if the registry setting remain after a soft-reset?
Regards,
Carty..

It remains, but if I choose in the Notes instead of Storage Card Device, and go back to Storage Card, then there will be only Storage Card and not \Storage Card\Notes

I don't know if it is working or if you've already tried - but there is another thread with another Reg-key (not sure if it's only for ActiveSync, but it's worth to try, isn't it ?)

TomTom 7: Unable to start. Not enough memory is available.

What the hell? Before I've changed the File system cache to auto it did work! But now that I have much more ram available about 21MB, it doesn't want to start. So I tried to go back to 4MB file system cache... but nothing, still that error message.
TomTom 7 is installed in the memory card... wtf???

I've had this happen before, and if I remember correctly, it was a corrupt Map File. I restored an earlier copy of my maps to the SD Card, and all was good again.
Try hiding your maps and see if TomTom will run. It should ask you to use a Voucher. If it does, then it's the map problem and TomTom is fine.
Nope, I've tried this tip but no success... It's really odd...
Hi Zooster. Sorry to hear about the headache you currently have.
I have had similar problems in the past month, the first time really freaked me out.
In my case, I noticed that some of the files on my sd card know longer showed up, and later discovered that others had indeed become corrupted.
I solved it (and continue to do so when it happens) by formatting my sd card and copying back onto it a copy I have of all the Tomtom files. Infact, once you get it working again, I suggest you regularly make a copy of whatever is on your sd card in case it happens again. For me, it seems to be ROM specific, i.e. only happens when I flash some of the new ROMs. Sometimes the sd card suddenly stops showing up in file explorer, sometimes I just need to remove tomtom and then reinstall it.
The problem for you now may be getting the original Tomtom files, I guess it depends where you got them from.
When I flash some ROMS, this problem occurs. I have to avoid ROMs that do that and choose another.
I hope you manage to sort it out. I know what's it like when these things suddenly go wrong for no reason! Best of luck.

Ok, I'll try to restore original files... I'll let you know.
WHAT TOMTOM FILES DO YOU NEED ON YOUR SD CARD?
There seems to be an awful lot of tomtom files on my sd card, so I've started to delete some and see if Tomtom still works. And it does!
I've got it down to:
My Documents folder with maps inside
Voices folder
plus the following files:
ALBUM.VOL
AutoRun
Autorun.exe-run
Start
TTN
TTN2003
ttnavigator.bif
I've lost the 2257 file (that apparently causes automatic self install of Tomtom when you insert the card) so if anyone has that I'd like it back!!!
So, my question to all of you Tomtom users is: Which files are actually needed for Tomtom to work?
(I know there is the tidy up option of chucking any mystery files into a folder, but I like to know what all files on my sd card are actually doing!)
Mattster.
Hmmm...
Just had this problem myself, but might have fixed it on my Artemis
Originally I copied the TomTom Navigator.EXE to \windows\start menu\programs and it worked
However; it stopped working with the "not enough memory error" - so I started disabling applications, uninstalling them etc.
Still no joy
Just out of interest tried the TomTom Navigator.EXE within the TomTom folder on my SD card - and it worked...
I've deleted the .exe from "my device" and created a shortcut to my SD Card and now it looks like it is working again
Going to keep testing now - but perhaps worth a shot

For tomtom, TTN is the installation file, the others can be all deleted.
After installation, we only need the following 3 folders:
1. maps
2. voices
3. zip
All of them need stored in sd card root path.
If you need the satellite view, then you need one more folder in your sd card root, which is "raster"
The file "ttnavigator.bif" is auto generated by tomtom everytime you use it, you will always find it is still there even you have delete it sometime before, just leave it. Also "ttnavigator.bif" is a log file for tomtom, so it is useful, dont delete this file.

In the 2577 (not 2257) map are the following files:
AutoRun.exe
Autorun.exe-run
TTN.cab
TTN2003.cab
So you just moved them to the root
The actual files for running TT are automatically stored on the device, not on the storage card

Thanks Arjan. Thanks for the reply.
What I'm curious to know is, after a new ROM flash (i.e. before TT has been installed on their clean device) what TT files do they have on the SD card.

Sorry, can't answer that. Flashed my rom quite a few times but never bothered to clean up my storage card. Probably still got Tom Tom 6 and or WM5 stuff on there
i had the issue with artemis and tomtom Navigator v7.910.9185. It was on sd. Then i deleted voice and raster folder and suddenly the problem solved!
Then i copied voice folder back to sd with 3 voices (before i had about 25) and now it works like charm.
I have had this same 'memory' problem on a few devices,
it has always been sorted by an SD card format and a card restore from my PC.
as to Tomtom after a re-flash ... I have never had any issues with it at all,
I just restore a full backup with SPB backup.
i have tomtom 7 ver. 7.910 on my p3600 running wm6 pro but seems to always come up no gps device can anyone help, please send me a message soon thanks mossy
Go to Change Preferences, Configure GPS, Click Configure, Tap left Arrow to show Other NMEA GPS receiver and tap Select, Set 4800 Baud and tap Done, Select GPS in COM9, and you are good to go. Click Done to go back to main screen.
I had the same problem once, install chaps advance config an relocate the internet temporary internet files.
by default they are located in: \windows\profiles\guest
if you use youtube a lot and google maps i can happen too.
I get this all of the time.
the problem occurs when my battery gets lower than 70% and I launch TomTom Navigator 7.
what i do now is make a copy of the Map Folder and keep it on my memory card.
I also make a zip archive and keep that on my device (not SD Card) in My Docs or somewhere else with a copy of the corresponding .dct file and .bif files and installers.
this way, i can restore tomtom onto another sd card if need be.
usually i format the card and restore the zip archive!

Just had this same problem. Changing the Start Menu from a copy of the executable to a shortcut seems to have fixed it. Thanks for the tip!

Formatted sd card, reinstalled maps and everything needed from a backup = works.
Thanks xda, once again a timesaver...

What the hell? Before I've changed the File system cache to auto it did work! But now that I have much more ram available about 21MB, it doesn't want to start. So I tried to go back to 4MB file system cache... but nothing, still that error message.
TomTom 7 is installed in the memory card... wtf???
