So, I edited a word doc from an email, using the built-in Hancom HWord viewer/editor. I used Save As from the menu. I wasn't paying attention to the file path and just added a suffix to the file name. Turns out I was saving in a protected folder. HWord cannot be opened directly from the Applications on the phone, but only by opening a Word doc from email, etc., but that doesn't present an Open option.
So, since I can't open the app and get an Open option, and because the file is in a protected folder, I can't get to this file.
The only method I've found out there for rooting my phone involves deleting the phone. Not an option when all I need to do is get to the file and copy it somewhere else.
I tried installing the latest HWord, and of course it does not have access to the original HWord's folder.
Do any of you know a method I can get to the file? Again, just need to copy it to a readily accessible folder.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Just updated the firmware
I am trying to remove links from my start menu for useless util's such as AT&T Mall, AT&T Music and Media net.
I've tried to remove them from the device directly by deleting the files from \Windows\Start Menu\*folder or file name* as well as connecting the device via Active Sync and deleting the same folder\file location through Active Sync file browsing.
When I try to delete the files, I recieve the following error:
"Cannot delete file ****: Access is denied. Make sure your mobile device has sufficient memory, that the file is not set as read-only, and that you have permissions to copy this file type."
I have verified that on applications such as Garmin Navigator and Good Messaging (app's I installed after the firmware upgrade) and I am able to delete, or modify their start menu shortcuts located in \windows\Start Menu folder. This leads me to belive that the issue is not related to sufficient memory, or permissions.
I have found articles by google'ing and they state it is possible to delete these specific files but they won't delete on mine. I tried rebooting several times (some articles noted that rebooting would majically allow deletion of files). No luck.
PLEASE HELP.

Using resco explorer I have hidden files that were in the ROM. Download teh trial and see if that works for you.
Figured it out...

Allowed me to rename and delete the ROM based shortcuts.
Hey
So i just got the Blizzard Authenticator from the Android Market, i know it's storing an xml file that has a token and some other information, i was wondering if there is any way i can find out where that file might be?
I want to find the file, because in that way i can sync the key between my computer and phone
Cheers
-Jazerix
It would most likely be in /data/data/package name/shared_prefs, where package name is the name of the apk (probably something like com.blizzard.authenticator).
Thanks for your reply, but when i check out the data folder, it's completetly empty
Is there any other way i can trace the file path?
P.S. i'm using a Nexus S with CyanogenMod
Edit: I'm able to find something on the SD Card (/sdcard/Android/data), but there is no file regarding the mobile authenticator
Ok, so i just bought Root Explorer, and the folder is no longer empty cheers, found the files ^^
Hello, I have downloaded a zip file through IE. Where I can find it ?
Thank you
There isnt a specific place... each app has its own isolated storage where it keeps their files.
You should be able to open that ZIP file from the browser and it will show you the files within... if they are recognised file types by WP7, it will let you run them.
But that's it, you have no file manager you can goto and fetch that saved file.
PS: well, you have... but I'm unsure if TouchXplorer is still working or not.
Thanks for this, but how can i delete it if I can't find it? I use the TouchXplorer...
I am concerning about the phone memory.
Generally, files downloaded through IE are stored in temporary memory and will be erased after a certain amount of time.
I ran into the same problem today. luckily i hit the windows button so all I have to do is hit the back button to reach the zip file again. Kind of frustrating when you dont have a file explorer and no other way to reach the file you just downloaded
I am using a Samsung Focus S, I have tried the Advanced Config, Registry Editor and everything and it won't save my settings. I am interlop and chevron unlocked
Welcome to the wonderful world of AT&T! Why would you ever want to do that? <eye-rolling goes here>
That said, while AT&T does appear to cap the recipients themselves, you can certainly try increasing that limit on the phone. To do that, you'll need to edit the registry, as you appear to have figured out.
The apps you mention (in fact, pretty much any interop-requiring app) won't work on a Focus S (or any other second-gen phone) right now - Samsung changed the drivers used for high-privilege access to apps, and the apps written for first-gen phones can't use them.
Instead, you'll need to use provxml, deployed using ZIP path traversal and processed using the Diagnostics app (basically, what you did for WindowBreak, but with your own file). First, you'll need to build the provxml file. If you look at the Windowbreak zip file (I suggest you use 7-Zip, as it will keep the .. folders correctly) you'll see that it has an xml file buried in it, which contains registry "provisioning" commands (the format is called "provxml"). Alternatively, you can look up the format for registry provisioning directly from MS: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/embedded/gg155017
OK, so you've created your provxml file (or edited an existing one) to update the correct registry value with the data you want to use. Next, get that file onto the phone. You can either put it in a ZIP file that you email to yourself, or put it in a XAP file (which is just a renamed ZIP, again 7-Zip is your friend here as it will automatically recognize the archive format) and install that file to the phone. In both cases, it'll need to be in a folder called something like "..\..\..\..\..\provxml\" (if you look at the Windowbreak zip file, you'll see this).
Then, just follow the same instructions you used for WindowBreak but select your own file instead. The registry should be changed!

Hi All,
I've used Heathcliff's WP7RootTools 0.9 to extract a file from an installed apps IsolatedStorage. The app in question was installed from the Marketplace, but I want to modify some of the files it's saved to it's Isolated Storage.
I extracted the file I wanted to edit by using the Explorer utility in WP7RootTools to copy the file to the "My Documents" folder, and renamed the extension to docx. From there I could simply go into the Office Hub, where the file was now listed, and emailed the file to myself.
I have made the edits to the file, but now need to get the file back into the app's Isolated Storage. This is where I have now got a bit stuck
I've tried copying the file to SkyDrive, and using the Office Hub to download it from SkyDrive to my phone. The file downloaded and is cached on the phone somewhere, but the file location, according to Office is not "Phone". This is normal, as Skydrive downloaded documents are not saved to the "Phone" location until you open the document and do "Save as".
I cannot of course open the downloaded file, as it isn't really a .docx file. Files loacted in the "Phone" location show up in "My Documents" in the WP7RootTools explorer. SkyDrive downloaded documents I have no idea where they are located?
Can you guys help? Does anyone know the path to location of SkyDrive downloaded items on the phone. If so, then I can easily just use the WP7Roottools Explorer to copy the file back to the apps Isolated Storage.
Is there a better way to copy a non-Office file back onto the phone?
Regards,
Micro666
You could use one of these apps:

i was going to suggest using WPV App Data Backup, but it seems i saved the Backups in the wrong location... (will fix in next release)
so,
you can use TouchXperience or WMDC Launcher.

I'm looking to do the exact same thing....
Options:
1. Do exactly what you've been doing, but save as .txt instead of .docx. The phone can still open this, even though its probably a binary file, and save it to the "Phone" location. Then you can copy it back and rename it.
2. Use an app that gives direct access to the phone's filesystem from the PC, like TouchXperience+WPDM, or Root Webserver (see my sig)+your favorite webbrowser.
3. Use any other way to get a file onto the phone, such as emailing it to yourself, using IsolatedStorageexplorer, or putting it in a XAP files and installing that file. Then move the file with WP7 Root Tools.
I recommend approach #2.

I used TouchExperience.
1.On my Fully unlocked Device(I assume you can do this with root tools), I installed a file manager that gives full access to the device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24636416&postcount=23
2. I installed TouchEperience on my PC. After giving the WP7 app, Root tools rights, it should show most of the file system(on the PC) but, not all of it. So I created a new folder in \Windows (temp).
3. On the Phone, I hunted down the file I was looking for from Isolated Storage, I copied it to the \windows\temp folder.
4. Used the PC TouchExperience and browsed to \Windows\temp, there was my files, I copied them to my PC. USed the File Explorer to delete the files in my \temp folder(to make sure they were gone).
5. I edited the files, copied them back to \Windows\Temp on my device via TouchExperience on the PC. Then used the file explorer to copy them back to the Isolated Storage.
Note: The file explorer I posted a link to is GREAT, it can even edit files (basic text editor) in Isolated storage. I found a way to Cheat on a marketplace Xbox live game (didn't try others), right before the achivements, so they were really easy to get
I'm sure there is easier methods but, this worked for me...
Can I ask, what app did you try this on ?
Hope this helped...
FYI DavidinCT: Cheating XBL games is very risky. Microsoft often can detect it (for example, if you get one achievement that would have required getting another first) and they can and will permanently ban your Xbox Live account for doing so.
That all said... why didn't you just use WPDM (on the PC) to copy the file straight to the IsoStore of the app? So much easier...

To be honest, I only did it with a game that had an error when I got so far, so the final achivements of the game. A Game with a Known issue but, no fix.
And I just really wanted to see if I COULD do it...
I used WPDM but, the PC version even with my phone fully unlocked (custom rom on my VZW HTC Trophy) and using Root tools 0.9 to give full to TouchExperince root, would not see all the folders and would not see the IsoStore. SO I had to copy the files to a folder that WMDM could see.
Personally, the new File Explorer above is awsome, it's even got a editor in it, I didn't even need to go through all that......
