i am looking for someone that is computer savvy to help me recover some files lost to my memory stick stopping working.
its just a copy of some of the files in the mylink, the exes for the apps etc nothing personal or vehicle specific.
this requires you to enter the development mode on the mylink and enter explorer mode (windows ce desktop) and copy a folder to a memory stick zip it and upload it.
if someone could help that would be great, if not thats ok too
first off make sure you have a memory stick in the usb slot with 200mb free space.
its also best to use something like a stylus or a pen with the plastic lid on as it is more precise when tapping in windows ce
to access development mode tap where the red square is 10 times fast
that will bring up the box to enable development mode like this
enter 20110827 into that and tap ok, it will do nothing...
go to settings from the home screen and scroll down to the last page and you should have this.
tap on development mode then scroll down to Explorer Mode and tap on it.
you will be on the desktop of windows ce now
double tap my device and double tap storage card
tap the system folder once then in the top menu tap edit and then tap copy don't tap cut or anything else just copy.
now in the top menu you will see a blue back arrow tap it to get back to the main list of folders and drives
double tap the MD drive which is the usb stick and in the top menu tap edit and then tap paste.
this should copy the system folder to the memory stick.
that's it for the mylink to exit the explorer mode just turn the vehicle off take key out and lock the door and the mylink will reset after about a minute.
once that's done take the memory stick to a pc and zip the system folder and upload it for me if you can.
if you are not comfortable doing this then dont worry i will just wait until my next service and have the dealer flash the firmware back onto it.
you might be wondering why are you doing this to your mylink.
well in europe on the chevy mylinks they have added VIM to enable video while driving and MirrorLink for android phones and this does not work properly on the holden mylink and i am trying to port this over to the holden mylink.
i have lost my steering wheel controls and reverse camera using the europe firmwares.
i was half way through getting the holden one to work and my memory stick crapped out and i lost my original files.
getting mirrorlink to work will allow you to plugin your android phone and operate it through the mylink unit
giving you all the apps and navigation that the phone has and not be locked to that crap bringo.
