To those having problems

this is to EVERYONE that is having an issue using Paragon to partition their card to ext2/ext3. simple solution and it will NEVER fail. are you ready for this???
USE LINUX
now that that's out of the way you can go
here to download the .iso
or
here to order a live CD of the latest ubuntu distribution you will have to register an account but it's free and free to get the CD shipped to your home(AND YOU GET STICKERS!!!!)
this is the EASIEST way to partition your card. before starting backup everything on your card
1. after downloading the .iso burn it to a cd/dvd
2. reboot your computer with the disk still in the cd drive
3. boot to the CD(your computer may or may not be set up to try the cd first so f10 or f12 will usually get you the boot menu)
4. choose your language

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5. choose the first option "try ubuntu without any changes to your computer"(or something like that)
6. wait for the computer to start up which might take a while as it is loading the OS from your cd drive
7. plug your phone into your computer and mount it
8. click System>Administration>Partition Editor
9. in the top right there is a little box that will let you choose what drive you want to edit(PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE THE CORRECT ONE)
10. after you have chosen your sd card it will appear in the main window with a horizontal graph above it showing your usage
11. right-click on the card in the main window and unmount it
12. go to the top and click Device>Create New Partition Table
13. you now have a totally blank sd card that is unformatted and not recognisable by windows or your phone
14. right-click on the unallocated space and create a new partition and format it as a primary partition and FAT 32, resize to the size you want to be FAT 32
15. right-click on the unallocated space and create a new partition and format as primary partition and make sure it is ext2/ext3 pending the ROM. this is the size of your apps partition
16. at the top click apply and it will go through the steps of partitioning your card.
if you get any errors for any reason at all you probably did something wrong, but check the details and post the error message here and i will answer it as soon as i can.
most times an error will occur because you forgot to unmount the drive from the partition editor. i know it seems stupid but you have to mount the card so the computer sees it, then unmount it so it can be edited.
screen shots will be up tomorrow when i wake up. please post here if you cannot figure this out

Just did this and I can confirm it worked flawlessly. Directions are clear and to the T.
Thanks a lot for this man, once my business starts making some money I'll float you a little present via PayPal, cuz this was just brilliant.
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT USING PARAGON - USE THIS GUIDE INSTEAD
Also, Ubuntu looks cool as hell!

glad this helped someone out

after my new 8g card arrived yesterday, i tried to format it and make the partitions via the rom manager app, which failed. dunno why, but it didn't do the trick. so i stumbled across this guide and it's idiot-proof so thx alot. did the trick and everything works nicely

Command to delete a file via the run dialog

I am trying to delete a file in windows mobile 5.0 via the "run dialog". I was expecting that "del <filename>" would do the trick but that generates an errormessage saying that the file "del" could not be found. Can anybody advise me what syntax I need to use to delete files via the run dialog ?

WM5 / WM6 Classic and Professional RUN Dialog
(A little late reaction, but..)...
The 'RUN Dialog' does what is says!
Both in WM PocketPC / Windows OS PC we can run executables like;
beam.exe (strangly enough no shortcut for this *.exe with or without using TF3D).
ContactEditor.exe (idem).
DataDisconnect.exe (idem).
eT9MyWords.exe (idem).
FieldTest.exe (idem) .
*more shortcuts to nice *.exes which R 'missing' ah well...
Only on Windows PC we have that 'command' which is typed after Run (WindowsKey+R)!
Then after typing cmd/command and getting the MSDOS PROMPT you/we/I could use the command ;
DEL
-=[ WM5 / WM6 Classic and Professional 'RUN Dialog' ]=-
On the main Today screen of a WM Pocket PC (Windows Mobile Professional or Classic) you can tap and hold down the ‘Action’ key while tapping and holding the stylus on the clock shown on the nav bar, then hold and slide to run, then release and tap run.
!!! The ‘Action’ key is usually the center of the D-Pad or CTRL if you are using the former SIP emulator;

}
(It's just a picture, I don't have this 'skin', I am still looking for it though ).
When you release the ‘Action’ key a small popup menu will appear,
and you can select the ‘Run’ option which will display a small dialog. Within this dialog you can enter the path to any executable, as well as any required command line parameters.
!!! As an additional tip, did you know that if you tap and hold without the ‘Action’ key being pressed, a different popup menu will appear? This one allowing you to select between an analogue ~ and digital clock being displayed on the navbar!

4) Now go to your phone and complete the setup.
5) COme back to your desktop and Finish the Setup.
6) You will see a window with 2 ip Addresses one to control through Internet and one through local WiFi or WLAN. Note down watever u need and press any key to continue.
7) Next Step is to configure the Server Right click the Remote Touch Server Icon in the SysTray and click Setup. These setup the port no. and the password for your server. If your server is behind a router then make sure to allow the port no. u set for port forwarding.
8) All done now start the app in your mobile. Most probably you will get a Authentication Failed, because the default settings might not work for everyone. Go to Menu > Setup. Put in there the IP Address, Port and Password you have and all done you can now control your PC from your mobile after connection.
9) Use Scroll to move through the desktop and tap for left click. I hope u can figure out the rest of it.

What files can be transferred?
In addition to the files supported by ZUNE, what other file types can be transferred from PC to WP7 device?

None because those files are not exposed (other partition?)

The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.

i tried to flash new offical miui6 via twrp 2.8 i got error
and wiped data,system etc...
so i am not able to enter recovery and even into rom what to do??
Please Help ME

It seems a problem with Windows rather than with your phone.
First of all don't worry, there are very high chances that you will recover the phone in working state. I worked for over a year with MTK devices, they brick very easily but it's also easy to unbrick.
It's a signature error, not a driver error. I remember Windows has somewhere the option to disable signature checking for drivers. Disable it, then after installing this driver you can re-enable it if you want.
I assume you are able to proceed from this step on, once phone is recognized by PC. If I'm wrong, feel free to ask

To Install Driver without Signature error.
This will Help u to install driver without signature.
What to do:
1. Hold down the Windows key on your keyboard and press the letter C to open the Charm menu, then click the gear icon (Settings).
2.Click More PC Settings.
3. Click General.
4. Under Advanced Startup, click Restart Now.
NOTE: In Windows 8.1, the ‘Restart Now’ button has moved to ‘PC Setting -> Update & Recovery -> Recovery.’
5. After restarting, click Troubleshoot.
6. Click Advanced Options.
7. Click Windows Startup Settings.
8. Click Restart.
9. After restarting your computer a second time, choose Disable driver signature enforcement from the list by typing the number 7 on your keyboard.
10. After restarting, you will be able to install the drivers normally; however, Windows will display a warning message. When the warning appears, click Install this driver software anyway.
You are now complete. I hope this will help you. Good Luck..
