USB Storage Enabler : turn your WP7 in to a USB Drive

WP7 USB Drive

This is another one that tinkers with the Registry , but this time its on your PC and not on your device , so if you have a unlocked / locked WP7 device and want to turn your WP7 in to a USB drive this little app for your PC will do the trick. You will need to run the software on your PC ( probably with admin rights ) after your have the phone hooked up to the PC via the USB cable. Some users have reported that you should close zune for this to work and some have said this works on locked devices as well ( I have tried it on the Samsung Omnia 7 dev unlocked and it works ). The best part is you can disable this hack from the app if you dont want it.

Like all other hacks this comes with a warning : There may be side effects for using this and you are on your own and I take no responsibility if anything goes wrong. But if all goes well and you like it do shower me with thanks :) .. you should also thank the guy who made this possible MarcHoover from xda-dev

WM5torage 1.89 beta 2 – Turn Windows Phone to a USB drive Mass Storage

Saijo George — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 01:36:19 +0000

WM5torage

WM5torage is a Windows phone freeware program that will export the flash memory card inside the smartphone as usual USB Mass Storage device (ordinary “usb disk”) – effectively turning smartphone into flash reader. Take note that speed will be dependent on your PDA/smartphone hardware – it will be high-speed USB only if your device actually high-speed capable (most are not), and also most devices have quite slow flash writers. Some devices with proper hardware support perform in spectacular speed though (for example HTC Athena works in high USB 2 speed if you export a microdrive). However, please keep in mind that WM5torage needs a fully. should work on Windows Mobile 5 and above.

Change Log

- “Two-way” – ability to simultaneously access the card both from Windows Mobile and from USB, so when you connect USB the card will not disappear on the phone! This however has one limitation – one of them always must be read only access, to prevent corruption.
So two scenarios are possible:

1. Enable “Read-Only”. The card will be read-only from USB. However, Windows Mobile will still have full access to the card.
2. Disable “Read-Only”. The card will be writeable from USB. Windows Mobile will still see the card, but will be unable to write to it.

Two-way is not a replacement for ActiveSync, this is primarily to allow people to still use some semi-static data (ringtones/etc) from storage card while using it in mass drive mode. Files written by USB will not immediately visible by Windows Mobile, and vice versa.

- Proper support for device icon and description in the File Explorer. So device will not be just generic “Removable Drive (F:)”. It will have proper description and even big Vista icon (if your device is modern enough to expose custom sync icon artwork).

WM5torage 1.8

This program will export the flash memory card inside the smartphone as usual USB Mass Storage device (ordinary “usb disk”) – effectively turning smartphone into flash reader. Take note that speed will be dependent on your PDA/smartphone hardware – it will be high-speed USB only if your device actually high-speed capable (most are not), and also most devices have quite slow flash writers. Some devices with proper hardware support perform in spectacular speed though (for example HTC Athena works in high USB 2 speed if you export a microdrive). However, please keep in mind that WM5torage needs a fully application unlocked Windows Mobile.

WARNING : The ability to choose different card slots to export will potentially allow you to export the system(firmware) storages/disk partitions. While it can be very powerful tool, improper use of it may damage the firmware data and will require a re-flashing, or in worst cases it may even render the device PERMANENTLY unusable. There is no 100% way to automatically determine if the given storage device is the system one, WM5torage will only try to make guesses about it and display warnings, but its not 100% proof. So if you see the “second free memory card available”, dont rush with formatting it/copying data on it (especially when you know that your device have only one card slot)!! You have been warned!
