Hello All,

I have written up an XDAtools User Manual in PDF format. You guys can download it here (http://sheran.f2o.org/xda/XDAtools_Manual.zip).

Please let me know how the manual can be improved and let me know your suggestions. I will try my best to incorporate them in the future releases.

Excellent work!!!

Thanks. I hope you don't mind me doctoring your XDA Dev. logo the way I did. I didn't have time for full fledged graphics generation. :D

The manual has a long way to go. I have several things planned for future releases.

Yes. You can use XDAtools to backup your SD Card to a file. I'm afraid, however, that you will need an SD/MMC card reader for any read/write operations to your SD/MMC card from XDAtools.

Hey, neither did we... :)

Good, because there's also still a few things missing from the program as well. Mainly it doesn't signal that it's done very well, and it could be even more user-friendly in a few spots. We'd be glad to hear about bugs and possible improvements.

you should be able to copy a rom directly from your xda memory to an sd card inserted in your xda's sd slot.

Well... sort of maybe it could be part of XDATools. I would LOVE to be able to "mount" my SD card as a drive, and perform operations on it from the PC. Seems to me, I should be able to use that SD card as a portable data storage device, without having to copy files to/from the PC. Your code that allows raw writing of the SD card could be a real good starting point.

Maybe too much to ask, but I'd love it!

PS -- GREAT site/tools/etc.!

I think writing a filesystemdriver is rather complex.

the easier solution would be to buy a 30 euro sd card reader.
