Ok (now I hope I understood ...).
If you see the SDCard (but you don't see the My Flash Disk - aka 'Mio Devices') you have to perform the upgrade with Format (not without Format ...).
Your new firmware and old firmware are partitioning different the My Flash Disk ... if you upgrade with Format everything will be wipe out and the new firmware will format the My flash Disk according to the new 'format'
BTW: If you want to recover the data from My flash disk you have to upgrade (without Format) to your previously used firmware version.
Let me know if you fixed.

Let me know if it works.
BTW: How did you started the application, first time (when you activated BlueScreen)?

LE: can someone: download and upload the SMFlash from C230_NA?

Last update: Friday, May 21, 2010

Question 1: what devices can be upgraded?
Answer 1: (until now) this procedure was tested on Mio C220_NA; C320; C520_EEU; C520T_WEU
Tested performed by: Mio C220_NA (me),Mio C250_EEU (tgg2k) , Mio C520_EEU (asgaard: http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=111274&whichpage=5) C520T_WEU (krisvw: http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=111274&whichpage=4), C320 (zeluis_cps: http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=111274&whichpage=6), C520T_WEU (PeterMJ: http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=111274&whichpage=6)

Question 2: how can I upgrade the firmware?
Answer 2: There is a small utility that is able to activate the UPGRADE screen. This upgrade screen will provide you the possibility to upgrade two components: uboot and wince.
http://www.4shared.com/file/237773940/67160c36/UPGRADE_MIO_09Mar10.html
In this package you’ll find the documentation available to perform the upgrade.
- Menu structure can be found in file menu.txt (UPGRADE_MIO_ddmmmyy.zip\SDCard\documents\menu.txt)
- Procedure (how to upgrade) can be found in file read-me.txt (UPGRADE_MIO_ddmmmyy.zip\SDCard\documents\read-me.txt)
WARNING: I DON'T RECOMMEND TO UPGRADE UBOOT.
WARNING: IN SOME CASES (read read-me.txt carefully) ALL THE INFORMATION FROM “MY FLASH DISK” MAY BE LOST, DO A BACK-UP FIRST.

Question 3: How can I come back to my old firmware (if I don’t like this new firmware)?
Answer 3: After you performed the upgrade is recommended to left the UPGRADE screen activated for a period of time (days, weeks) until are you 100% sure that your device is stable. After that you can disable the UPGRADE screen.
The firmwares that I have (so far) are:

If you have a different firmware you need to back-up your wince. To do that, you need DiscRW utility.
If your device is unlocked and you can run applications on your PNA, try to use this DiskRW software:
http://www.4shared.com/file/134354901/9ef633/DiskRW.html
instructions:
1.Start DiskRW
2.Select from combo-box (close to 'Store:') -> SMFlash
3.Press '...' button and select 'Storage Card' (where to save your SMFlash.img); If '...' doesn't work you can write (using any keyboard you have) the name of the SDCard folder of your PNA (ex: \Storage Card\, \SDMMC\ ...)
4.Press 'Read' button. A Hourglass will appear and it will take approx. 30 sec.
If the above application doesn't work, you should contact me to (on this thread) to fins a solution. Because every device is different I can’t give you a DiskRW custom made for your model.

For wince 4.2: you can use also bkondisk.exe (http://hpcmonex.net/roms/bkondisk.zip). For more info check: http://www.gpspassion.com/FORUMSEN/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=82603&whichpage=2

Question 4: I lost 'My Flash Disk' can I recover it with this procedure?
Answer 4: Yes. You have to use 'wince by USB (Format)' to format your 'My Flash Disk'.
WARNING: ALL THE INFORMATION FROM “MY FLASH DISK” WILL BE LOST (and there is nothing you can do to save it).

Question 5: There is anything else that I should know?
Answer 5: Yes. There are no warranties what so ever; so all you do is on your own risk. Anyway I can tell you that I uploaded on my GPS (C220_NA) many not compatible firmwares. I wouldn’t recommend you to do that until you really know what you are doing. If you check the firmware before and is using the same SMFlash memory area, like your device, (theoretically) there is no risk. But like I said: DON’T TRY THAT (unless you really know what you’re doing).

Those Q/A will cover most of the questions, but if you have other questions (or any advice) please let me know. When other firmwares will be available I will update this post.

Custom firmwares (usually ‘custom’ stands for ‘changed’ - aka ROM cooking).
software need it to change a firmware: ROMMasterCE5 (v.1.9.9) - http://www.4shared.com/file/237775472/8f86f256/ROMMasterCE_ver199.html

1. This is based on ROM R08.3 (NA) and has the explorer (taskbar) added. (doesn't work with C250!)
http://www.4shared.com/file/129470682/1fc8ff6d/C220_NA_ROM_R08_Desktop_1.html
Known bugs:
- There is a file 'desktop.ini' on every folder (from the GPS) – including Desktop.
- The menu 'send to Desktop as a shortcut' is not working.

2. This is based on ROM R08.3 (NA) and has the explorer (taskbar) and all office components added. (doesn’t work with C250!)
http://www.4shared.com/file/129470932/f760619b/C220_NA_ROM_R08_Desktop_2.html
Known bugs:
- There is a file 'desktop.ini' on every folder (from the GPS) – including Desktop.
- The menu 'send to Desktop as a shortcut' is not working.

3. This is based on ROM R08.3 (NA) and has the explorer (taskbar) and all office components added. Has a Navigator.lnk shortcut from Desktop to \My Flash Disk\MioMap\Miomap\Miomap.exe. If you have, more than one, navigation software you can place a script there - using mortscript switch command; to be able to start any of those applications. Also previous version has the FSRAMPERCENT to small -> was increased to 1.5M (doesn’t work with C250!)
http://www.4shared.com/file/129471186/a5564a94/C220_NA_ROM_R08_Desktop_3.html
Known bugs:
- There is a file 'desktop.ini' on every folder (from the GPS) – including Desktop.
- The menu 'send to Desktop as a shortcut' is not working.
- Taskbar is on top of the navigation software. FIX: Start \ Settings \ Taskbar and Start Menu -> CHECK Auto hide
