How to access the files on the DUO

My screen on my DUO bit it and I need to get some of the files off of the phone before I send it for repair. Is there any software that will let me access the file system on the phone to retrieve the files or am I SOL.
This has to be done without any use of the phone menu functions.
Any ideas?

Used ActiveSync
Connect the phone to your PC (any PC) and if you have not already set it to sync, you can hit cancel and connect it as a "guest". Then click on the explore button and you will have full access to everything stored on the device.

Broken Screen - Recovering Contacts/SMS?

Hi folks
I'm waiting on a nice shiny new Samsung Omnia arriving from my mobile provider, but in the meantime I'm still using my old HTC Trinity handset... and have managed to break the screen on it. I'd love to recover my data, but ActiveSync hasn't managed to get my contacts into Outlook and I don't think it can get my SMS.
Any ideas on how I can recover my data, preferably in a way that I can then put it onto the new Omnia when it arrives?
Thanks in advance for help everyone!

Uso SOTI controller or whatever it's called to see the PPC screen on the PC screen. Navigate using PC mouse etc.

QFT. Use SOTI Pocket Controller (which you can download a trial for free from SOTI's website) and you can control your PPC on your PC's screen.

^^ What they said, but use MyMobiler (which is free forever ) from here.
Also you should be able to use ActiveSync/Explore to install DotFred's PPCPimBackup (here) - it's just an .EXE you need to copy somewhere on your Trinity, then run it (using the MyMobiler screen to guide you) and backup all your contacts and SMS messages (and calendar, tasks etc. if you wish) - if you have a lot of contacts/messages, make sure you un-tick the "use memory for temporary files" option.
The resultant backup file can then be copied back to your desktop PC and you can perform the reverse operation - with or without the help of MyMobiler - when your Omnia arrives.
Cheers,
Mark.

I am in the same situation.
I had an Eten device before and now have a Diamond.
The problem is that the screen is broken and most (all ?) of the controlling apps need a software PPC-side, and without screen it's quite hard to install.

As long as MyMobiler can establish an ActiveSync-type connection with the phone (i.e. if you've got the phone and PC connected via A/S) you'll be fine - MyMobiler will install the software on the phone itself....I don't even think it asks any questions.

Thanks, I'd not heard of MyMobiler but I just downloaded it and it connects to my phone quickly and automatically without even having to set it up in the first place. Nice one.

Hi. I accidently cracked the screen on my s740 and now i need to extract my sms from the phone. I have already installed my mobile, but the damn program doesent seem to work. I have win xp, but when the phone syncs to my computer, my mobile says: "Not connected" -> "Connecting" -> "Running on your mobile" -> "Not conneted".
It is slow as hell and doesent respond in windows, it doesnt seem to be able to connect to my phone.
So, here is the deal, my screen is busted, and i have a very important sms in my phone that i HAVE to extract from the phone.
So, can i copy some file from the phone, containing all the smses and then extract in windows on my computer? If not, how am i supposed to do? PIM Backup can only be run on the phone and my screen is cracked.
Please HELP!
IT IS URGENT!

Try this...right click on the my mobiler icon in your pc's taskbar, choose "configure mobile", then "install". Sometimes I've had to manually force that step to get it to allow connection.
EDIT: also, is it making a solid activesync connection to begin with?

Reviving an old thread
What happens if I can't make an activesync connection? I think at some point I disabled the auto-connect on the phone and now it may require my input to connect.
(Its an elfin with one of the latest onyx roms)

Can't connect to activesync anymore

I am running WM 6.1 (Michyprima Full) and I wanted to flash to another ROM, however for some reason my phone will no longer connect to activesync on the desktop (tried two pcs). It can sync just fine via exchange.
Nothing has changed on the mobile device or the desktop; ActiveSync on the mobile device is set to allow connection via USB and activesync on the desktops is set to use USB to sync.
I know the underlying connection is ok because the device will start charging from the USB cable when it is hooked up.
What can I do to fix this situation so I can flash to a new ROM? I do not need to save anything on the device... I have tried soft-resetting.
EDIT: Also when I list USB connected devices on the desktop PC, I see one called "Windows Mobile-based Device"

did you use a ram cleaner
i used a ram cleaner and my device dosent get recognised by pc.let me know if you find a solution.

Have you tied going to Start/Settings/System (or Connections) and running USB to PC? Try unchecking 'Enable enhanced network' then OK back to the start screen and try reconnecting.
If that doesn't work, try a hard reset with the current ROM, and see if that fixes it. If so, you can then flash the new ROM.
If it still doesn't work, I think you can flash using a memory card or the Flash Drive without needing to access the PC.

Have you tried completely uninstalling ActiveSync from your computer, reboot, download and re-install ActiveSync. Its worked for me - sometimes the USB drivers become corrupt.

When I try and hit ok to commit the change of unchecking the advanced network functionality (it was checked before), the device just sits there with the spinning thinking wheel. Doing a soft reset and going back into the usb to pc shows the box still checked.
I will try a hard reset.

I think thats the only answer at present- the inability to change the A/S settings on the device suggest something's got corrupted somewhere

I was able to get it to sync after a hard reset.
However, when I attempted to load Michy's light ROM the device rebooted and sat at "Loading..." with a white screen. The wrapper then said error connection failed.
If I soft reset the device it comes back to the loading... screen; if I hard reset the device, it comes back to the loading screen after the hard reset. How can I fix this?

blast. left the stupid sd card in while i did the first flashing.
Removed SD card, re-hard resetted, then re-ran the ROM updater.

Sometimes its OK, sometimes it isn't- just one of those little mysteries I guess!
Glad its OK now. Michy's Lite ROM is excellent

Solution for deleted active sync notification called replog
YES...you guys definitely ERASED your Active sync NOTIFICATION file called replog. As someone suggested...he ran his CLEANER...then the problem begun.
It is true that Hard Reseting the device will get you back that file, but there is an easy way to do it...I can't find the original article but this file I will post will RE-CREATE that deleted replog notification file that is needed by active sync to work.
So next time you try and clean-up...just make sure you won't delete any file named replog
To use this FIX, just place it on your SD Card and run the file. If you want you can create an icon at Windows>Start Menu>Programs>to whatever folder... that will work too for easy access.
Just a word of caution...DON'T RUN THE FILE MORE THAN ONCE...why? Because it will re-create the file again. Although it won't hurt in any way except eat up internal memory, but you don't want any duplicated file... right?

[Q] TDS Nomad dataconn on startup

Ive got a TDS Nomad (http://www.sdgsystems.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=49&Itemid=51) wich i want to use for a customer. They need to connect to an sql db remotely so ive installed a simcard that is purely used for 3G, so no phone functions.
But now ive got a little problem with the startup of this device. Windows Mobile ( WM6 PRO) boots ok but the phone (dataconnection in our case) doesnt start automaticly. When i go to phone and click options it tells me that it needs to be turned on, when i press ok everything works but i want this to happen on startup without the users having to do anything.
Ive tried to add a shortcut to the phone in the wm startup, but this just shows the phone screen, it still isnt activated. I cant auto dial someone on startup because we dont have phone functions just data.. Also tried to open a website on startup to initialize the data conn. but this needs user input to accept the outgoing connection.
Soooo the question is; does anyone know how i can force the conn manager to turn on the data conn on startup?

[Q] WM hangs at startup - help realy needed !

Hi
I would like to ask You for real help, advise, suggestion what to do.
First of all I know I can make hard reset but it is not a solution for me - more important is data on this mobile than to use it.
Samsung I780, WM 6.5 with HTC TODAY (big clock, six tabs) with tasks, calendar and wireless plugin.
I wanted to add Resco today plugin. Installation without problem . Restart and my phone hangs - loading startup animation, bottom bar with soft keys and nothing else. It hangs in today screen loading moment and phone doesn't respond to anything. Tapping, keyboard, buttons - nothing.
When I'm pushing buttons for example left softkey with shortcut to contacts after restart - they will open, so means that system respond before loading today screen, but then it is loaded in background and system hangs
I tried to restart many times with power button, removing battery.Soft restart with hole on left side. I hoped that after keys combinations Fn + enter + power - to force upgrading state will help, green + red + power to prepare for hard restet will help. After restart it is the same. In all those situations windows 7 x64 mobile center or windows xp x64 active sync, windows xp active sync cannot connect with mobile. In case when I connect it by cabel and I turn phone on activesync is trying to make a connection but after one or two minutes the sync icon is grey and nothing happend. With SD or without - still the same.
I was trying to establish connection PC-mobile by Mirage soft.
Mobile doesn't respond (for sure because of today plugin)
The questions are:
1. is there a key combination to force startup to default theme without loosing data, clear startup without any theme, plugins?
2. is there a possibility to make an autorun file on SD card to overwrite today theme configuration file at startup?
3. is there a possibility to make any batch file which block theme loading or will change theme registry entries?
4. is there a possibility to force connection between mobile and PC to get data without from PC?
5. Do You, HACKING WINDOWS MOBILE GODS, have any idea how to recover data from this mobile ?
If You have any friend, who knows or who has I780, or who has huge knowledge about WM - please show him this post.
Admins - I know that this is inproper but if You could put this post to Windows Phone section - lots of users which have Windows Phone device had WM device. PLEASE
Thanks in advance.

OK, I must ask...
When you connect your device to the computer, does the computer acknowledge it? (aka, does it beep, or does anything pop up?)
if so, if you dont already have it, download and install activesync. it will allow you to setup your windows mobile with the pc. now go to the activesync window, and click "Explore"
now you should be able to copy data off of your device, move data, and more.
hope i helped

Hi
