make sure your device has sufficant memory, that that file is not set as read only and that you have permission to copy this file type
what is happening?

I'm not completely clear on what you're trying to do or on what device. But, thumbs.db is a "hidden" Windows file. Don't copy that over. Then you won't get that error.

oh its the 8125
but what i did was hard reset and when the at&t cab was going to pop up i just soft reset and it didnt install it but im just trying to skin my 8125's wm player

try to use USB_to_HDD.cab instead of copying via activesync. It's much better

Access is Denied error...

Just got my iPaq 6915 and am trying to copy my own ringtones to it. In windows, I get an Access is Denied error. On my XDAIIi, it used to let me put them in without trouble. I've downloaded Total Commander to both the phone and my PC, but am not sure how to transfer between the two? I looked at the properties for the Windows folder on the phone and it had Read Only and System unchecked, but still denied me access to copy files over to the Rings sub-folder. Can anyone offer a hand?
Thanks,
Karl

i hope this doesn't sound stupid, but once i download the cab file, where am i supposed to put it in my phone, storage card, windows directory? 1 slap to myself for being such a newbie
When i download the cab file i open it with win zip which it shows the exe file as an .xml and then I transfer it to my storage card and try to run it and it tries to open opera???

It doesn't matter where you put the .cab on your device (I have all of mine to my storage card). Once it is on the device navigate to the .cab and run it, it will install to where ever it belongs.

Instead of using winrar to extract the files from the .cab file, just save the .cab file itself onto your card and run it from your phone. Hopefully this isn't a case of the noob leading the noob, but I think that's how you do it.

Need Help!!please

I have a Touch Diamond and i have a problem:
Im trying to install .zip files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2772381#post2772381
but when i go to the /windows directory and trying to copy and replace the files from my computer to the mobile it says i have not enough storage space...
Any ideas how i can fix this?
I have tryed the Total commander, but i cant get it to work, can anyone help with that part? plz
Try to see if you can deactivate the plugin, soft reset, and then try to copy the files... It might not be a problem of storage but rather of the files being used at the time of replacement. Hope this helps.
It woun't let you overwrite protected fies with file explorer so best to use is like Total Commander (Free) or Resco Explorer (commercial). Either of them will let you replace a protected file.
Active Sync works pretty well too if you have access to a pc.

Couldnt delete some files in /windows!

hi f0lks.
i try to get the touch flo files copied manually to my phone, but for some of the files i couldnt remove the "read only" flag nor i couldnt delete em.
i work with TC and tried it by selecting files by mask and also by doin it for each single file.
everytime i reread the properties the flags are reset to "read only" this is the case for just 230files.
any hint would be really appreciated.
thank you
k0s
edit:
nope touch flo is not running, nor any other programs. i did reset the device and so on.
use total commander instead of file explorer
thanks,
i alread used TotalCommander (TC) but i guess you cant delete the files when you DIDNT sspl'ed your device.
i tried it on a clean one and didnt work.
i tried it after i updated the rom and it works now.

you cant delete anything from windows folder because files are in rom, you can just OVERWRITE them if they arent used by anything.

Access Denied!!

Really hoping this isn't one of those annoying noob questions, just spent an hour searching but can't find the answer.
Earlier today I decided to have my first go at modifying a .dll file (shellres.dll.0409) just a minor change to some of the display text. Managed to extract it (using Windows Explorer) unsign it, make the change, resign it, and overwrite it by copying it to my SD Card and pasting into Windows with RescoExplorer. All good.
Unfortunately, after a soft reset, my phone (HD2 stock 1.66 ROM) got stuck at the windows screen while booting. Tried reset 2 or 3 times but the only thing I could do was a hard reset.
Phone is now back to stock and working fine so I thought I would have another go at changing the .dll file.
I now can't even extract the file.
Dragging it to the desktop (which worked earlier) using Windows explorer gives an "Access Denied" error message. Copying it with RescoExplorer and trying to past it to the SD Card also gives the same "Access Denied" message??
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or what has changed?
