Any reasons why not? Im on Windows XP yet it comes up a warning saying that it will only work on computers with XP!
This is very frustrating...
Is there any other way to link my phone up to my computer? I would really like to transfer some music onto it
Have you got SP2 installed?
I cant, I dont have a genuine Windows.
Do you NEED SP2? Surely there is a way around this...
I can download activesync 3.8 but I think I need the drivers for the phone?
Any help... PLEASE!?!
I've had the same problem with my XP version
impossible also to install an update from windows site
I had to install an update on my windows 2000, that worked
and then activesync 4.1 finally worked 100%
other way to work around that was to download things on XP
put them on my old SPV E200 with activesync 3.7 wich works
and then send the things on my SPV M3000 by bluetooth...

Or get a Legit copy of Windows XP!!!
You run a pirate operating system then compalin when software doesn't work with it properly.
Come back when you have a license. Is your Wizard stolen as well?
hmmm dude...
the post isnt if its right or wrong to steal windows! Its to do with how we can cheat them more!
I think the only way round this is to download a crack to get xp2.
If I could find the drivers for the phone would it work on activesync 3.8?
PS. No my phone is not stolen, Im sure you have a copied CD in your collection somewhere too.
There's a vast number of copied XP versions with SP2 pre-installed available out there. Should be all you need.
I can get a legal copy of windows xp from somewhere...
But to install it would I loose all of my documents?
chrisredmayne: it would be in your interest to backup your docs (and whole system) before installing SP2, even if your windows is legit. It's a big install!
You could make your own SP2 install disk, by "slipstreaming" SP2 into a windows install disk. Also, there are cracks for SP2, and there are also cracks for trial versions of windows.
I imagine the ActiveSync install could probably be cracked to skip the SP2 check, but it's not a long term solution.
I don't recommend any of this. When you start using SP2 and Windows in the future, you'll have to have a legitimate copy to download certain updates from Microsoft, so you might as well get hold of a legit windows, one way or the other. OEM copies are stupidly cheap, and you can even buy an OEM Media Center install for a small amount of money.

there is a piece of software at
http://www.softick.com/pocket-pc/cardexport2 called "card export II"
allows you to make the wizard look like a mass storage device, so activesync is not needed to transfer to the storage card.
ps (takes a few goes to install)
I dont get how to install it, only looked at it for a minute though. I unpacked all of the files, and it asks to open a prc file? and press hotsync on the cradle... (Guess that means phone).... Stumped
if i remember correctly .prc files are for palm user's not pocket pc.
i think you have downloaded the wrong version!
Use cardreader to download into mSD, anything you want:
Music, apps, but you need cab files to install it from mSD card.

aliendad, can you confirm you actually have Softick Card Export II for Pocket PC working on a wizard device? I have tried this on my k-jam and it didnt work at all. Even when i contacted Softick support they have said they are still working on a WM5 / Wizard compatible version.
EDIT: i just went and downloaded v2.10 of CE2PPC (which funnily enough isnt even mentioned on the website). In the setup i downloaded, i found there is a WM5 ARM install cab however this still fails to install on my Wizard / K-JAM as with all the previous versions.
Thanks
Chris
You need a minimum of SP1. You do not need SP2. For ActiveSync 4.1. If you cannot pass the genuine validation tool you need to enable automatic updates and to install them automatically. You cannot use the Windows Update site. If you set to install Critical Updates automatically it should bring down SP2 (as it is considered a Critical Update)
Also you can just download SP2 (the full install) and you should be able to install it. It should not require validation as you can install it if not connected to the network.
Although the above may not work if you truly have a messed up version of XP. I am assuming you have either a cracked version of a legit copy or an invalid product code.
I have read about people cracking XP Media Center 2005 and all worked well until the Genuine Validation tool. Then somebody came out with a crack for that. :lol:
Good Luck
I just got a disk with XP so I think its a fake validation code that I have.
I downloaded the SP2 from the windows update site, and from a random site somewhere that I searched on google for.
The problem was that when I tried to install it stopped after a few minutes and said that it wasnt a genuine windows. So Im guessing any version that I download will have the same check on it.
But I shall try and turn my updates on later and see if it works, or give that other program a go!

yes, is does work, had to do a lot of soft reseting but now have a quick access icon at the bottom of the screen to select card export or active sync.
a few days ago did a hard reset, and installed card export as one of the first installs and it installed much more smoothly that the earlier install.
ps great prog makes things much easier, can't install activesync at work.

It works for my 838.. I have lockup and unable to switch to SDcard mode only if I connected to my PC and activesync once and unplug. But that seems to be the activesync issue in my 838 which fail to free itself from unplug from PC. So it cannot switch to SDcard mode..and prompt me an error message.
I have already switch to AS4.1 but does not improve my situation.
What is Microsoft doing here?? :roll: A soft reset is the only way to get my device syncup again.. :x
I own this program since I had my XDA mini ...
finally I can use it again to copy some files to my pda and use it as a memory stick...
I also noticed some problems:
1. after I connect the USD cable and the PC recognized my pda as a memory stick, Windows XP asked me to make a reboot in order to be able to use the new 'harddrive'
2. after I copied a .jpg to my pda it looked like the storage card is no longer recognized by WM5. The icons of the shortcuts to programs I installed are missing and I cannot browse with TotalCommander to my storage card.
After disconnecting the USD cable, my storage card could be found again - is this a bug or a feature?!
After the first connect in mode 'Card Export' I switched to 'Active Sync' and the synching went on without any problems.
After agains swithing to mode 'Card Export' my Wizard gave an error message, as follows:
"Cannot switch between Card Export and Active Sanc modes. This may be because of missing dlls or corrupted registry entries."
This looks also to me like an incompatibility between card export and active sync.
Hmpf ... rebootet the phone and connected - voila - my Wizard was again properly verified as Memory Stick and I again could upload another .jpg to my device.
It looks definately unfinished ... but it is working quite acceptable to me, though there is a lot room for improvement, it will get the job done, if I need a memory stick 'on the go'.
My device is a HTC Wizard, O2 german.
i may be wrong on the second point, but activesync alters a file when you transfer it to the pda,
so if you transfer a file to the card (even using a card reader) then put the card back in the pda wm5 will not recognise it properly.
point 1 should only happen the first time of detection.
have no problem with my XDA II...

I am experiencing the same... Please update this topic if you'll find a solution.
i'm having the missing dlls dialog problem too.
I noticed that once you activesync'ed, you can't switch to card mode and need to reboot the device.
However, mine can't seem to work anymore. It won't even switch. But I also tried disabling my today's screen (pocket plus and pocket breeze) and it works... but only the icon manage to change. My PC can't detect it as a mass storage device though.
Any luck?
Mine is working fine, I got that dll message once but a soft reset fixed it.
Just wondering what roms are you guys using that works with softick? I'm using rom version 1.6.7.1 WWE which doesn't seem to work. I tried hard reset and install softick on the first reboot. The computer detected a new hardware but failed to install the device.

Same here too!! using ver 2.12
ver 2.11 worked fine with me, so most probably I will downgrade to it now.
I emailed the tech support and waiting for their reply. I will post it here in case I get anything new.
I just tried v2.12, and it didn't work. I found v2.11 on some download site, and installed it. v2.11 worked fine on Qtek's 2.8.7.1 ROM.
I cant get this to work either using 2.12. I get the device manager problem as mentioned previously. Does anyone know where can i get 2.11 from?
found it here:
http://www.softick.com/files/CardExportPPC211c-softick-en.zip
but i get the same problem
You can find previous versions in the "download" section on the left.
I'm having the same issues, used to work fine with 2.11, then it stopped being able to write but could still read (this is on my Mac), and now with 2.12 I can't even get the thing to mount. I'm talking with the developer to see if we can get a fix.
Any 2.12 and 2.11 not working for me... My computer and three others shows me message that they don't have drivers
I posted a query on their forum.

I'm a bit confused regarding their reply.
You asked a question about the Wizard and they replied saying they are waiting on delivery of HTC Universal to examine it better. I'm not sure what the Universal has to do with compatibilty for the Wizard as they are completely different devices with different hardware. (Mybe i'm wrong and the hardware components that Card Export uses is actually the same on both devices)
Puckster -
I noticed this on second look, and asked for clarification.
just want to inform everyone that there is a free alternative. it's similar to softick card export that it turns your device into a plug-and-play card reader. it's called wm5torage (yes, the number '5' is the letter 'S')
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45411&highlight=wm5torage
it does not have the system tray icon that enables you to switch between activesync and export mode, but rather you open the app in your accessories folder and activate/deactivate it from there.
but hey, it's free and it works
Softick released Card Export 2.15 today and recommended I try it. Sure enough, it works, even on my Mac! There is a catch however, you must enable the following option in Preferences -> Hardware:
- Use Dumb Endpoint
(Alt Init Order may also help if you're having issues, but on my Mac it made no difference either way)
I have attached the .cab since it seems only an exe is available on the website, this should be useful for other Mac users without VirtualPC.
Enjoy!
Nope, doesnt work with my T-Mobile MDA Vario with latest Qtek ROM.
Same problem as v2.12, it hangs when you get the balloon with 'Found new USB device'. I used an Acer Travelmate laptop with Windows XP Pro with latest patches.
Thanks mate...
Works like a dream, solved part of my mac/WM5 problems, now sync to entourage is the only one left...
Do not suppose you got a wondersolution to that Sprezzatura
I mean MissingSync and PocketMac does not yet.
Thanks again for the tip off...

I had the same issue until i read a post on the Softick forum. Softick support and another user suggested enabling a combination of "Alt init order" and "Use dumb endpoint" in Card Export Preferences (Hardware tab) as with what sprezzatura posted above.
Now i can use the software perfectly and can swap to / from ActiveSync & Card Export with no problems and no soft resets are required (except for the mandatory reset immediately after installing Card Export)
Goto: http://softick-forum.com/index.php to read what others have said.
Thanks sprezzatura for the heads up that they released the new version.
Cheers,
Chris
p.s. I have tested this and it works for me on every Dell, Toshiba & Clone PC / Laptop i have.
Wicked **** !!
v2.15 works perfect with those 2 settings. Great stuff !!
Hello everybody,
Is it possible that the SD Card's are not working on XP?
I have an entry in my device manager. But if I insert a SD Card it wont work.
Regards,
CodeX2k
XP on the shift reads my smaller cards, 1gb and 4gb, but not my 16gb sdhc. There is an XP sdhc patch available from microsoft, but it made no difference on my shift.
Mine reads 16.
Only after hibernate/sleep I often loose any sd card and I get an error in my device manager.
Huib
Stupid me!
Did not see the XP!
Apologizes pls
Stupid me!

Huib
Right now I can't test if the smaller cards are working. I only have a 16GB SDHC Class 6 with me in my holidays...
Did anyone get SDHC Cards working on XP?
I have the same problem when I installed the XP, SD slot won't read 16G,
But 16G SD card works with my USB card reader. Touch screen also won't work so gave up XP, restored Vista.
Only things won't work for me on XP are SDHC, Resolution Change and the HTC Utility all others works just fine ahhh and Touchscreen Calibration.
Hi @all
***EDIT***
I test now some other drivers, and see: It is really necessary, that you really right update the sdbus driver. I use this one:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67470
and force this driver to update, then if you want to update this driver normally, then the device manger tells you, that no other driver is newer than the installed.
But: I install again from scratch and test a little bit.
I think it is really related to the sdio driver problem when you want to install the WLAN.
But i´m not really shure, it is the right driver.
later more ;-)
*** old ***
SDHC don´t work to by my side. (test with 8GB kensigton) Normal SD e.g. 512MB Cards works.
I comparing the drivers with a other Notebook and i See, on HTC Shift the Driver is originaly from Microsoft build date 10-01-2002. My other Notebook has an driver from 2006 and from company O2Micro.
maybe that´s the Problem. Anybody knows what is the manufacturer of the SD Card Slot?
Can anybody send me the *.inf files from a Vista installed machine? Or have a look to the devicemanager of Vista, which driver is installed?
Additional I See: the driver sdbus.sys located in c:\windows\system32\drivers is the Version 6.0.5308.17 (with SP3) and is newer than the SDHC Hotfix that you can download from Microsoft...
Hmm. crazy..
see here the Microsoft Hofix link: (BTW: there a other hotfixes for SDHC Issues downloadable from MS too)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923293/en-us
It doesn't appear to be limited just to the Shift: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366570
It appears that the hotfix won't work and even the sp3 unless there's a specific fix/driver for the Shift, since Shift is not supported with XP officially, there wouldn't be one from HTC.
P.S. 16GB doesn't work on mine either. Still, not enough to make me go back to the ultra-slow Vista
Hi Doni,
thank you, really interesting. As I install a blank Windows XP SP3 from CD on shift (without additional drivers) , my Kingston 8GB SDHC Card works. (the first time I inserting my SDHC I become a blue screen) but after restart it works.
I think, the SD Card Reader device of Shift is a standard product, that build into other PC´s too, only the way to find out that that´s is the problem
I have some backup´s from my installation and can go back, so I will try it, at which time it has works..
see
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438820
###edit: ###
I test it with fallback to my older backups.
SDHC works, before I Installed the SDBUS.sys driver that is needed to become WLAN functionality. So I think, we must look for a other sdbus.sys driver (file) ?
I'm assuming then that WLAN doesn't work with the SP3 sdbus.sys, right? And the version that does, doesn't work for SDHC. Nice I suppose we need one that does both.
Hi Doni,
i have searched some hours for a solution.
to track the problem was a Everun UMPC http://www.raondigital.com/fnt_english/ev01.asp
essential, where we have stolen the sdbus.sys driver.
If you go there to the support and driver download you see, there is only the "sdbus.sys".
Really interesting, "how to" the normal user can change this file
normally is in a driver package (*.sys) always a *.inf file included, what I missed.
When you change only the *.sys file, maybe you can have problems with it, sometimes, there a difficult or other settings stored in Registry to control this driver.
And this is the problem I´m think. We need an officical *.inf (maybe installed) file from a Raon Everun UMPC.
I install at the moment Vista on shift to fetch the SD Bus settings from Vista side, maybe I become like Jesus and see the holy spirit.. (sorry, only joking)
I think the sdbus drivers of WXP-SP3 are ok, but you need some registry tweaks to control that right. Maybe the *.inf from Vista tell it me.
BTW: I don´t need the sdbus.sys from RAON within my precomiled WXP TPC SP3. WLAN works with the original sdbus.sys as well.
And that´s it: I try this way. Next week I´m on a Business trip, long time in lonesome hotels with long nights..
Always with a 16GB USB Stick and Acronis on it to recover. What need a man more in the City Jungle?
))
bg Joy
BTW:
WXP SP3 Driver Version 6.0.4069.5 from 2008-10-01 (Y-M-D) (sdbus.sys 6.0.4069.5512 (080413-2111)
Vista (org HTC) Version 6.0.6000.16478 from 2006-06-21 6.0.6000.16478 (vista_gdr.070427-1615)
Vista with SP1 Version 6.0.6000.18000 from 2006-06-21 6.0.6001.18000 (longhorn_rtm.080118-1840)
if you use that in a *.inf file
(make a new inf file with texteditor and copy lines above into it)
than you can install the raeon sdbus.sys driver
normally without windows safe mode...

EDIT: I've found it! For those interested the patch <SDIO_Fix_01a.zip> can be downloaded from the thread SHDC & Wifi XP Fix located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691208
Great thing Unapproachable2kx, thank you! I'll test it asap and report back.
Unapproachable2kx, is this patch still in the alpha state or is it pretty final?
Hi Unapproachable2kx!
I have tested your patch and I have inconsistent results. This means that I got wifi working (it used to work also before the test) and I got SDHC working once without problems for several insertions and wifi connect-disconnect cycles.
But after reboot and several other reboots the system was self-resetting and restarting when inserting the SDHC card (8GB Kingston). So after 6-7 such auto-resets I gave up using the SD card.
It is good to know for those who want to go that way that even if the wifi is on, the wifi icon doesn't show up in the task bar, so to make it visible you have to disconnect it and reconnect it with the .bat scripts (buttons).
Actually it seems to me that one can get the same results as installing the patch by doing an update of the wifi Marvell driver (which will go from the ionitial version 8.75.500.624 to the latest version 8.75.813.830) via internet (wifi connected) by using the appropriate Update button in the Hardware Manager. After that you have to replace in c:\Windows\System32\Drivers the sdbus.sys used in the wifi installation process (6.0.5308.17) with the initial Win XP SP3 6.0.4069.5512 (if you copied and saved it during the installation). For this replacement no Safe mode appears to be necessary. The same game with stopping and restarting the wifi board is necessary.
Any other's experience please?

if you use that in a *.inf file
(make a new inf file with texteditor and copy lines above into it)
than you can install the raeon sdbus.sys driver
normally without windows safe mode...

Hi joy.d, wonderful thing if working stable.
What is the purpose of getting this new *.inf file, are you trying to replace the initial sdbus.inf file? If so could we start from that one and do only the changes?
Could you please be so kind to attache your *.inf file here in this forum? How did you named it? How to proceed further with it?
What sdbus.sys file did you use, the 4069 or the 5308 version?
Many thanks!
hi everyone...I have a Fujitsu Siemens Pocket LOOX N100 that runs on wm5.I wonder if somebody knows a way to get it into service mode because I want to replace the GPS software that comes with the unit, not only because the maps are way out of date, but because the don't have a map for my country. I would like to install iGo because I have it on another GPS and I love it...
Thanks in advance...
Loox N100 does not run WM 5.1 but WinCE 5.0
To access the device you need to enable ActiveSync und the device.
I join two CAB files in order to enable or disable ActiveSync.
Just rename the file you need to MN6-update.cab and put in root of miniSD card (save original one first) and reset device.
After that you can access the device via ActiveSync and install whichever software you like.
If you want to enable ActiveSync and start on a clean desktop you should use the CAB file attached.
In there you have
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init]
"Launch50"="explorer.exe"

first of all I want to thank you Sabo, I'm really looking forward to get back from my trip and test those cabs...
but first let me see if I got it wright:
1.the loox_n100_enable...zip are the files to enable/disable the activesync, but would I have access to the WM menus??I ask this because the N100 starts in a kiosk mode
2.the MN6_update.cab - is going to start the N100 in explorer mode not kiosk??
I have a Loox n110 running TT6 and I got all my hacking info from here . It's a very long thread going back 3 years but it has everything you need to know. I installed the iLooks desktop starting off with the Active Sync cab trick as mentioned to access WinCe.
Hope you find it useful.
hi..thank you very much guys for all the help...until now I wanted to sell the n100 but now I'm again very happyyyy, I can barelly wait to start experimenting...
Forgot to mention that with a Mini SD to Micro SD adapter I can run a 16gb memory card on it so you can really load it up - no wifi though.

Don't sell this fine piece of hardware.
Where els do you find a PND with removable battery which is this small and where you can disable static navigation in order to use it easily for geocaching or other things.

I can only see the first 4 GB of a microSDHC card.
Do you have a driver in order to see the rest of the card?

My mistake sorry although the system recognises the capacity of the 16gb card when I actually browse the folders not all files are showing. I forgot this as I don't use this card usually in the Loox.
It does recognise all files on my 8gb microSDHC card, however. My built in driver is "SDHC_SC2410.dll". I haven't installed any other drivers myself.
Mine is the Loox n110 with the built in flash drive of 2gb using driver "FLASHDRV.dll". Not that it would affect the reading of the SDHC memory.
Hope that answers your question.
Hello all, I know it is a very very old topic !
But I found in my father's place this old Loox N100 piece of tech and I was trying to do some stuff with it.
I managed to access Windows CE 5 thanks to those CAB file provided about this topic.
But then I can't install or modify anything.
Can someone help me to update the maps of the GPS or install a more recent one please?
I have been searching for hours on internet but I can't find how to do. I don't understand the use of ActiveSync neither. My PC is running on Windows 11.
I tried to copy some exe or cab file to the Mini SD card, but when I want to install them from the device, I have an error "xxx is not a valid windows CE setup file"
Anybody could help me achieve something with this old tech?
Thanks a lot and sorry for the old post.
BTW: Since I used the CAB file above, I always boot on Windows CE first and also the USB connection to the PC doesn't open the SD Card anymore. I tried to use the "disable activesync" CAB file above, but it continues to boot on Windows CE and USB connection still not work.
Anyone with knowledge of this old tech can help me figure out a few things ?
At least how to revert it back to normal haha
Thanks
