Hi MarcHoover,

had the same Problem like a few other ppl here in this thread - it doesnt show the Folders.

But today, i started my PC, started the USB-Enabler and then connectedt the Omnia7 Device and ... surprise surprise - it worked.

Dont ask me why. But im relieved. Strange thing, cause there are a few guys here, who tell the same...

error 80072ee7

This program really works! But I've got problems after using it - i cannot download apps from zune and update my wp7. it 's 80072ee7 error. I tried to restore my phone but nothing has changed. What should I do???
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MarcHoover:
Sorry for the delay, I am busy during the week ;/

For all people with problems using the tool:

I need the tool version (there are two at the moment) and details about your phone.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
Make sure ZUNE is CLOSED when you open the drive.

The hack to see the drive as a USB device is a bit flakey as well so you will have to deal with that.... after all it is a hack.

Don't work with LG Optimus 7 : empty folders...

I tried all hints il the thread.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ttblondey:
it work smoothly.at first i was shock to see 2 portable device appear click both of them nothing happens, so i unplug it and replug it again it appears only 1 device and can look all the folders at my phone.:)

thanks again job well done.I'm sure everyone will like it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
I put some word documents and when I open office it does not see them, anything special I need to do, like folders or anything ?

How about PDFs (downloading a PDF reader off the marketplace) ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
I have only been able to get those types of docs on my phone by DL'ing them via IE from the web. In my case I used my skydrive.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
Ah, that sucks, I was hoping I could just move files I need directly over instead of moving them "to the cloud"

Any one know work-a-rounds to get office docs and PDFs to use on your device without having to upload them to a site ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lugi93:

Works great on my optimus 7.

Good job!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] pedaah:
Only email attachment, this tool doesn't convert the files for the phone to use :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] pedaah:
It works on my unlocked HD7, is a bit slow and I can only see the pictures file under storage. Can delete files, cannot copy paste to the PC, WIN 7 Professional. cannot add files to the phone. thankyou
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ludede:
:( don't work on my omnia 7...i see only two icons of the phone ... but they is empty

Remember, You have to exit zune before you are able to see the contents of your phone!!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MrNetrix:
This works perfectly for my Samsung Focus. Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] VodKa420:
so I guess this is just the same as the registry hack and only works on the machine that you do it on. wish I could just make it a usefull usb drive that works on any pc
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
I was thinking the same thing. It was said that it will work on any PC that has the zune software installed....
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] andycted:
Uhm, just thinking.

Make a .reg file for the hack

Rename it to .wma

Put into your phone

When plugging on another computer with zune, get that 'song' and apply the reg

If zune doesn't recognize the wma/reg, use a hex editor and append the reg to the wma file
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ilinimud:
The link is broken for me, anyone know of another download location? I just got my Trophy and was wanting to use this.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] PayAndDie:
It doesn´t work for me :( I follow all the steps and it still shows me an empty folder in storage..
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drtiendiep:
I want it show all folder as in WP7 same: Application Data, Applications, DOCFILE, HtcLog, My Documents, Program Files, Temp, Wallpaper, Windows,..Can you help me?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
So dont we all....So dont we all...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Close Zune, disconnect & reconnect device. The folder will appear empty if Zune is running. Sometimes you must disconnect/reconnect device to update. Make sure in Zune settings that you disable the auto launch on device connect. Make sure that Zune is not running in Task Manager under Processes Tab.

All this utility does is change a few registries on your PC. There is no reason what so ever it shouldn't work for everyone if the directions are followed...

Zune/Device Drivers must be installed before running this tool as the Zune Setup creates there registry values to hide your device in explorer, works on Mango Beta (You have to re-enable this tool after upgrading Zune for Mango Beta)...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
Riddle me this....

If I copy a file or 2 on my device from this and go into TouchXplorer on my phone, what is the path on my phone of where these files are stored ?

I want to copy a file to my phone and access it from my phone....

Any idea ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MarcHoover:
No way. The storage via USB is the same "thing" you can see in the TouchXplorer named as "storage", but you can't open it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
So you can't use the USB driver to drop files over that you can access on the phone ?

Any work around for this ? Can an app be programed to access this space ? (aka drop a file in there for a program to request)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Reggie31x:
Hi,

thanks for the tool, it makes it easier to enable and disable thing.

unfortunately it doesn't work out of the box (altleast not with me).

I have to switch between enabling and disabling, connecting and disconnecting the device and opening and closing zune to make it work. But it's better than not working at all so :).

I do have another question. I have been trying to find a workaround to be able to work with WP7 without having Zune installed.

I've been able to get your tool working without actually installing Zune.

I've done that by pre installing the USB drivers (that come along with zune) and using your tool. That works fine, so in theory it is possible without zune.

I'm still looking to find a way (especially in a corporate environment) to be able to simply get the pictures off of the phone without having to install Zune on every workstation. The bottleneck isn't contacts, e-mail etc..., those can be simply synchronized with a corporate exchange server. But the problem is that pictures are actually very large and if you have taken 100 pics (for example) and you have to upload it to skydrive / sharepoint through your phone service provider, it'll cost alot.

Since the device is recognized when you install the USB drivers for WP7, i'm wondering if there is a way to have a connection over USB between desktop and the phone without using Zune.

I really hope they hurry with the corporate support, because i decided to take the leap from windows mobile to WP7 in our company and chose not to go to Android or iOS, but the lack of any decent corporate integration or support is killing me, since i was hoping Mango would solve that problem, and it turns out it won't...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] thesecondsfade:
For anyone who can't install Zune on their computer (ie: work PC) but wants USB Storage capabilities, install the attached Zune drivers, then enable USB Storage Enabler. Although it will prompt you to install Zune, the drivers still install even if you don't install Zune.

That worked for me so I can use my phone's USB Storage capabilities at work now without Zune at all.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
The original hack was posted here, on xda, at November 2010 (actually it was my first post :) ) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9244306&postcount=93

But I'm not an original hack author but (I believe) first who tried well-known Zune HD hack on WP7 (I did this in August 2010, on Samsung Taylor developer's handset but posted on xda in November).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rudelm:
Did someone of you tried this hack on Mango? I tried it on 7712 but the only thing happen to me is that I can see the phone in Windows Explorer as a multimedia device. I can see the storage details, for example how much space is left on the device. But I cannot add/remove file/folders to the phone. In NoDo this was possible.

Can anyone please confirm?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dstyl:
Yes at my Device too
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rudelm:
Thank you for your feedback. I've tried it again with the WP 7.1 RC SDK and HD7 back to NoDo, its still showing nothing and allows no access. It just shows up in the explorer.

So I guess this was something that changed with the last SDK releases?

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] schahr01:
Tried with my recently mango updated samsung focus - I see the device and Storage folder but no subfolders. Tried the steps listed in the first post, no luck.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dxdy:
you must close Zune o see folders

1. start Zune and connect phone

2. start USB Storage Enabler and hit Enable

3. close Zune
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] schahr01:
:D Excellent - Thanks.

So Zune is needed to bootstrap the filesystem presentation.

Now confirmed OK for samsung focus 7720

On my Windows 7 PC, when I try to copy files/folders from the phone to the PC, Windows 7 gives an error and restarts Explorer (Windows Explorer). This happens every time I try to copy a file or folder from anywhere but the root of the device storage. Has anyone else run into this? Is there a fix?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Bruce_X_Lee:
You can try PC File Download from the Market.

---------- Post added at 07:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 AM ----------

The only way is to do it via internet explorer on your phone. There is a little tool to make it a little bit easier. You can get it from the Market, it is called PC File Download.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] htc12345:
usb storage enabler works like a charm

troubleshooting mode:

download the app see post 1

on launch click the left button until it shows ' enable'

close the zune application, if needed through the task manager

if nothing shows, restart phone while connected

check computer window again, open storage, and there you are
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] weelogic:
Hi there, I used this feature to copy some Office docs to the phone, not having read all the threads (oops) and thus not having realised that the phone cannot "see" them from within the Office app. I then tried to delete the files, as they were just taking up unnecessary space, but get an error message to the effect that the files could not be deleted. Other than hard resetting the phone and starting again, is there any way of accessing/amending the file system to allow these files to be deleted?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
@weelogic: You should be able to delete the files after rebooting the phone and reconnecting it. However, if that doesn't work, you can use WP7 Root Tools to delete files, or if you have an interop-unlocked HTC, it can be done with ProvXML.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] weelogic:
Thanks for the reply. I found a way in which I could delete the files (reboot didn't change anything). This involved going through each folder and sub-folder down to the lowest level then deleting files and gradually working my way back up through the levels (like Inception but without the drama :)) Basically, I couldn't delete any folders unless they were empty, and that included empty sub-folders.

I should have read the thread first ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kid1988:
Perfect!

Two things here;

Does anyone know if this works with a ZUNE media player?

It works without ZUNE even installed (even though it was installed in the past). Ideal for my notebook, which has barely enough resources to run ZUNE.

I will report back here if it works with ZUNE media players as well (I have a 2nd gen 80gb device).

Cheers!

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
It used to work with the Zune hardware - that's where the hack was originally discovered - but I've heard they patched that.

Bear in mind, it might be slightly tweaked to work with phones instead of PMPs, but you can try anyhow.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] revxx14:
Sweet, this is awesome. Does it work with non-unlocked devices?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
revxx14: Yes it does. The change must be made on each PC that wants to use the feature, though, and I believe they'll need to have Zune installed already.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MCChang:
Works as a charm for my Lumia 900.

My computer's Explorer can recognize the phone and its contents.

My question is, is there any way to force the PC to recognize the phone as a drive (with an assigned drive letter, and viewable on Computer Management)? I'm asking this, as I'm trying to retrieve photos from the phone which Nokia Service Center deleted when they reset the phone.

Thanks lots.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
No method known, sorry. Contrary to the thread title and assumptions of many, this tool does *NOT* enable USB Mass Storage on your phone. Instead, it merely un-hides the MTPZ (Media Transfer Protocol, Zune extension) device, which happens to be your phone, from Explorer. Although MTP[Z] devices expose what appears to be a hierarchical filesystem, they are not considered blok storage devices and as such can't be mapped as drives.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MCChang:
Thanks 'GoodDayToDie' :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] BMXJeff:
issues?.....

Thanks to the Dev, this is awesome!

Couple of issues/queries:

Cannot move large files 1GB+ onto the device without getting the error "the device has stopped responding or is disconnected" (see attachment ErrorCopy.jpg) at the end of the process, then I have to disconnect and reconnect to use again as all directories appear empty or not there at all. I am breaking files down with WinRAR to about 700MB to copy onto the device and can only move one at a time as batch copy results in the same error. Seems ok with small files.

Second issue is that when plugging my phone into another computer (e.g WIN XP) without .NET 2, Zune or having run the unlock tool on that computer, I cannot see my phone/SD. Do you have to follow the procedure in post 1 on every computer you want to have 'USB Flash' functionality? If this is the case then I can't plug my phone into a TV or any other USB device, making it nothing like a USB flash drive! Maybe I have misunderstood the job this tool is doing...

Please let me make clear I am not complaining just trying to get to the bottom of what the limitations of this tool/WP7 are and if what I'm experiencing is normal because there seem to be no mention of the above issues in this thread.

Thanks again to the dev and thanks in advance for any feedback/help :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jojobanin:
Every thing works fine for me. But i have some problem with music, i transfer the artist to a music file on my phone and it transfers but when i go on my phone it listed it like a unknown artist and album name.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
@BMXJeff: The first issue is weird; probably some limitation in MTPZ or possibly somewhing weird about the phone.

As for the second issue... um, why would you assume otherwise? This is a purely PC-side change, it has absolutely no effect on the phone. As I mentioned above, all that this tool does is tell Windows Explorer not to hide the phone (which it sees as a Media Transfer Protocol, Zune extension AKA MTPZ device, *NOT* a USB Mass Storage device like a flashdrive). Since every PC has their own copy of Windows Explorer, yeah, you have to tell each one separately...

@jojobanin: It's possible (probable, from your description) that adding music files to the phone through this method doesn't cause the phone's Zune database to get updated (or at least, not correctly). Thus, while the files are present can can be played, the tag info for them was never stored in the database so it isn't displayed in the Zune app.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
There is some other database, not sure where it is stored but ive had instances where all my music vanished off the music lists on the phone, yet the files were still there until you sync it with the computer which promptly deletes those files off the device, presumably because zune believes you intended to delete them off your device.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] BMXJeff:
I delved into this a little deeper since my post and I now completely understand what this tool does. It makes a simple registry change on the host pc to allow it to see the MTPZ device/phone and definitely NOT a flash drive! I had seen the reg mod before but I got excited when I read 'flash drive tool' and thought it would be a phone hack letting me use my WP7 as exactly that! It's a habit of mine, dive in without reading properly :p

Thanks for the info. I guess you could create a separate FAT32 partition accessible via MAGLDR and the 'USB MASS STORAGE' option. I refuse to carry a USB stick when I have a 32GB SD sat in my pocket. What do you think, have you seen this done?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
isn't there an xbmod CAB that partitions the Leo for android, that would probably work, my leo is dead so cant help im afraid, because most Things LEO are very specific to that device despite it technically being a WP7 device, you will get more support over on that forum, but perhaps you can get it to work. use the cabs to partition for android, then using a a desktop based partitioning tool change those new partitions to a usable FAT partition, then use USB storage in MAGLDR to access it.

cant promise that you wont wipe your devices but its a starting point for you :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Honestly, the owner of this thread (or possibly even a mod) should rename the thread. It's a lie. What this hack does has nothing to do with "USB [Mass] Storage" and the distinction is confusing to people who aren't familiar with the details of how WP7 communicates with PCs.

I propose "WP7 in Explorer" instead of "USB Storage".
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] BMXJeff:
+1
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] BMXJeff:
TRUE USB mass storage - solved!

I couldn't find the xbmod CAB you mentioned or anything similar but I have managed to manually set up a FAT32 partition on my SD card without affecting the WP7 rom to use as a REAL usb flash drive! This runs alongside the WP7 installation. In other words you cannot access the WP7 directories but the separate partition acts as true USB mass storage compatible with any device that would normally accept USB mass storage.

Quite simply I have WP7 and true USB mass storage on my HD2!

I don't have time now but I'll do a write up and guide tomorrow night.

Peace :cool:

EDIT 19/11/2012: Having further USB issues not specific to the USB storage solution. Will be back with guide when I have sorted my USB file transfer problem and am sure it is 100%...
