Windows Mobile Phone appear as external HDD - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I'm trying to get some accidentally deleted files off of my old (SCH-i760) phone, but it appears as a phone, and not HDD. Though I can browse the files, I cannot use any software to scan it. Is there anything I can do to make it appear as just a plain HDD?
EDIT: Nevermind. I don't know how but I got all the files.

Help too.
I have the same problem i want to know how to mount my internal phone memory as a drive on my pc i cannot find the solution to this anywhere.
Help please

You can't do it.
If it is on a storage card you can connect the card directly in a USB card reader, and mount it as a drive on your PC, but the program and storage memory of the device is another story.
Windows Explorer through Activesync, or Visual Studio's remote file Viewer (ccfilevw.exe), are the only ways to access the storage memory. Both go through Activesync to get to the device, but you do not have the ability to undelete files.

Help, pictures lost on SD card, file corrupt

I have all my pictures on my Cingular 8525 save to my SD card, a 1GB Kingston microSD.
I don't know when exactly i lost access to my pics, but i noticed right after i had synced the device, since i was trying to pull the pics off the card....Figures, as i am going to back up my photos i lose them before i can do it!
I tried to use active sync to browse to my SDcard and view the my pictures which are saved in my docs and the my pictures. When i opened my documents the folder kept showing up empty, i reset the device and the same result...so then i took the card out of the device and put it directly into my laptop and when i tried to open the "my pictures" folder that way, i get the message, "That file is not accesible...the file is corrupted and unreadable"
I'd be very grateful to any suggestions on what i can try to retrieve these pics, i had a lot on there and my friends are asking me to send them...THanks!!
same problem here....
You might like to try software like this http://www.jufsoft.com/badcopy/digitalphoto.asp. IMPORTANT: Make sure don't write anything to SD card now. Just use PC and the software to recover the images. Good luck...
Is there a Pocket PC program that i can install and try to do that without needing a desktop?

Try a data recovery program like GetDataBack and use a program that allows your PPC to export your microSD card like a USB JumpDisk, or plug it in to your pc's card reader if you have one.
I suffered from many corrupt storage cards when using spb insight on my wizard. I have to keep inserting and removing my card until i could see the corrupt files, once they show up i'd use GetDataBack and recover my card. Then format it and add the recovered data.

What to do if you cant access your storage card

Hey there,
I just did a search but didn't find this issue. So I hope this is no double post
Just wanted to share one of my experiences with you:
I connected my HD with my car radio. When I got home I mentioned that my storage card isn't accessible anymore (I was accessing music from it). I tried a lot of things to fix this (first I was afraid it could be damaged), but the solution was very simple.
Just connect your HD via USB with your PC (Disk Drive Mode). In my case I was able to access the files on the storage card. Now I moved one file onto the storage card (data has to be written on it, only reading doesn't work). After unplugging the HD from the PC the storage card was accessible again.
it did not work for me

New HD2...miscro SD card problems

Hey,
I was wondering if someone could help me out. I just got an HD2 today and am trying to transfer some cab files from my computer to the phone.
I hook up them up and when I open browse the memory card from my computer all the files don't show up.
Then when I put the cab files under my documents on the SD card and unplug the phone from computer..the files don't show up under the file manager..
What do I do?
Edit:
I also formatted the SD card...to no avail
When you connect your phone it should ask you active sync or disk drive. Click it to disk drive and that should let you get files on to your storage. Why did you have to format your sd card to begin with?!

[Q] Storage / Memory Card Read Fail on Computer X2 [SOLVED]

Just upgraded my X2 to R3AA05, but when I connect X2 with Windows 7 using USB & Windows Mobile Device Center the storage card is not showing any files inside, bit it is detected.
The disk usage and free space of storage is showing but not showing any files inside and i cannot transfer files from storage to computer and so reverse, both import and export. I can install any application inside storage card and working very well, but still if i connect the storage with computer it shows nothing files inside.
I able to see my storage files only in File Explorer, but not in computer
I was trying to transfer files into it, the Windows 7 error message said: "The devices has either stopped responding or has been disconnected | Stop copying | Skip this file"
Appreciate any solutions. I only able to transfer files from phone memory..
Thanks!

all i have to do is format the storage card using adapter card reader on my computer, turn off your phone, insert your storage, turn on your phone, voila!

How to access internal storage through PC?

Hi. When I connect my Wildfire to the PC and mount it as a drive, I have access only to the SD card. How can I browse my phone's internal memory if it's even possible. And, please don't tell me to use ASTRO, as I need to access it from my PC.
Look for "Android Commander"
You need to be rooted though.
