WM5torage: Your WM Device as USB Drive
I ran to this utility called WM5torage at MoDaCo. 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).
WM5torage could work with different phones and PDAs, (no 100% guaranteed about compatibility with every device ever made) as I had to break some specifications to defuse “anomalies” (bugs?) in the firmware USB drivers. This just means what it means - some devices/firmware have problems with WM5torage, and on some it won’t work at all (notably on Typhoon/Feeler/C500/8010/8020 with “unofficial” WM5).
The exploitation has promising of potential, since your WM device will be seen from your PC host as an USB drive; you can possibly sync with iTunes or install portable apps for your PC. etc.
