Guest Ingvarr Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 (edited) Sorry, I dont know how to fix leaked firmwares. Make OS direct (sector IOCTL) disk access fully work - and it will work, that all I know. If it detects the device but cant actually properly read/write data - that means the problems most likely with actual per-sector flash access. Wheither it down do no proper dismount, or simply lack of proper direct disk access in leaked builds - no idea. It also can be due to the bugs in the usb function (hardware) driver in these builds - they hardly have big quality as they is.

Guest ronswens Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I already wrote why support for Typhoon/feeler is problematic. Like with MPX200, for them part of OS is stored on storage card. To make usb disk access properly work, storage card must be made unaccessible to smartphone (dismounted), but no way do it properly when part of OS is on it. Thats why driver is "activated" and device is "detected", but no actual proper disk access is done later. Make dismount work, and it will work. But I think you'll need to fix this "unofficial firmware" for that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That is completely wrong, no part of WM5 for Typhoon stored on storage card. Probably dismount works a bit differrent, could you give us more diagnostics when it's trying to dismount Storage Card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ingvarr Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 (edited) Could be. Most likely its USB Function MDD or controller then. Edited March 29, 2006 by Ingvarr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest boden01 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Still getting problems with "Cant Switch to Mass Storage USB driver, error 1f". If you are connected with ActiveSync and then activate WM5torage it works fine. If you then deactivate WM5torage and exit ActiveSync will restart. Next pull the USB cable from the device disconnecting ActiveSync and try to activate WM5torage you get the error. I have stopped all programs from running but error still persists also from this point onwards ActiveSync refuses to connect. The only way to rectify both problems is to soft reset.

Guest loknmal Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 ;) hello ever body, I'm french! I have an eten m600 with WM5 and Windows xp pro couldn't install correctly the driver (that is what he is telling to me)! I didn't install the software on m mmc card but on the memory of my m600! If you could explain me why windows doesn't want to recognize the m600 as a USB key thank you! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Toad Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Under OS X (10.4.5) it shows up as : Windows Mobile Device:  Version: 0.00  Bus Power (mA): 500  Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec  Manufacturer: Microsoft  Product ID: 0xffff  Vendor ID: 0x045e Apple: Introduction to Mass Storage Device Driver Programming Guide Anyone in for developing a OS X MSD driver that support WM5Storage? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I would also like to see this work under Mac OS X. However, I think that would be pretty bad if we had to install a driver to get it to work. I think this program needs to implement the USB mass storage device like other USB drives. I've never seen a normal USB drive that would only work on Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Exept for WM5torage) What I would realy like is support for iSync and WM5 on the Mac. Nobody seems to be able to do the trick (yet). http://www.markspace.com/wm5.html http://www.pocketmac.net/products/pmpro3/index.html Damn, they even fixed Windows on a Intel Mac faster ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gzub Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Any chance of a ppc version? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This works fine on my XV6700, the only problem is where it puts the short cut. Any chance the installer can be modified to identify if it is on a PPC and put the shortcut into the programs group.... Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ncschult Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I always wondered why MS never had this built in, been waiting years for this app. since I got my first PPC with an SD slot. Installed on a Cingular 8125 and can switch between Active Sync and the phone running in USB drive mode with no problems. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ninjaw Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Version 1.3  - added prompt to soft-restart the device after installation  - when storage is attached to USB host, mobile device USB controller and flash disk are ordered to be kept in "Power On" state  - added switch to choose between "Removable" and usual ("Hard Disk") device classes. Will affect how the host OS treats the device - for instance, it will not create System Restore and Recycle Bin if class is Removable. Updated Wed, Mar 29 2006 1:02 pm View File <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ARGH i tought it will be a simple removable flash disk, the thing installed me a new cdrom and even ask me to reboot windows !!!!!!!!!

Guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I'm having some issues with this. I get the following error: alert Cant switch to Mass Storage USB drive, error 57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scrattyrat Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 People who getting error 57 most likely havent fully unlocked their smartphones. I know that some unlock "recipies" around dont unlock all APIs, so some software will work, some (more deep system-level) wouldn't. Try this one to HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies add new value "0000101b": dword = 1 That would set security model to "one-tier" - unsigned applications/components will still ask for confirmation, but after you confirm, they will launch in full-trust access mode, like on WM5 PocketPCs. I was getting the error 57 on my sp5m. Try what is suggested above, i did it and it now works fine. Great bit of software by the way!! cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bnycastro Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Is there a fix for error 1f? How do I use this exactly? So I've installed it to \Storage did the recommended soft reset. Turn the app on and I get the error 1f prompt. After that the device will not sync with Activesync until a soft reset. Should I be connecting it to USB 1st before activating it?
