Trouble finding MMS file on W200i

[jangoux]

Hi,

My wife has a W200i and we have a little problem : Once, she recorded a voice note using the MMS function. However, for some unknown reason, she was never able to send the file to another cel phone and now she needs the file. The thing is, we cannot find the file anywhere on the cel phone, although it is there. I found a tutorial to backup the full FS with SEtool, and while it reads the file, it cannot copy it, generating a 0byte file. Is there any simple way to access hidden files on the W200i without messing too much with the phone ? Or better, a way to access the MMS files on the cell phone. Any help with be greatly appreaciated.

Just an idea, but you can try to find it with MyPhoneExplorer

Well, no luck : My Phone Explorer does not show hidden / system files on the Cell phone memory. Any other ideas?

You are sure that the file exists in phone? What makes you thinking that it is hidden, and not deleted?

Well, using Far Manager i could find the file at tpa/system/messaging/mms/vol_main/3/Gravando.amr, and it is like 150kb big.

I already tried copying it using SEtool (but it only gave me 0 byte files) , and far manager + JD patcher, which obviously also didnt work.

I did a lot of searching and found some things :

1) ***CUSTOMIZATION and BACKUP OF YOUR PHONE***INSTALLING ICONS WITHOUT FAR/XS++*** - Top Sony Forums. On this thread, it shows how to backup the FS, using a XML file that has commands to make the cell copy its own memory to the memory card. However, i couldnt even copy 0 byte files, as far manager says it doesnt know how to read any of the files on the cell phone memory. So, i studied the XML file that resulted from the whole process and came up with this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<customization>
<file-operations>
<file-op parse-mask="fa" op="copy" source="tpa/system/messaging/mms/ vol_main/out/3/Gravando.amr" dest="card/other/backup/Gravando.amr"/>
</file-operations>
</customization>


I copied this XML thing into tpa/preset/default, like the tutorial said, it was supposed to work. But it didnt, when i turned on the cell phone, it didnt even show anything telling me to wait or didnt copy anything on the memory card.

I also read about a quick access patch to make the cell phone allow file copying, but QAMAKER said the firmware I downloaded from this very site isn't readable.
Any clues ?
