How to see System folder with USB connection?

I have been playing with this for a few days now and would love a positive answer to this. So far the answer I have found is no. It seems the Nokia phone browser software is quite limited. If you haven't already, FEexplorer is what you have to use to see the system folder.

As an aside, the Nokia PC software in general is quite sucky if you'll excuse the term. The USB drivers keep crashing my box which has been stable for many months. The lousy pop port dosen't help. Overall its quite irritating that Nokia didn't spend a bit more on getting the PC side of things working better. I am comming from a Treo 600 and the comparison is quite one sided. Palm's hotsync app is 1000x better than the PC stuff offered by Nokia.

I meant to access system folder from explorer in my pc.
I have FExplorer and there's no problem, but when I need to download something from my pc to system folder in the rs-mmc, I cannot.

Sorry I wasn't clearer. Unless someone knows of another program besides the included Nokia Phone Explorer, there is no way to do this via software.

However, I have a SD/MMC card reader and that works using the included RS-MMC to MMC adapter that came with my phone. Its a pain to have to take out the battery and everything though 😞. On the Palm OS there is a program called cardexport and I have emailed them asking for a symbian version. Hopefuly they will reply with a "its in the works" message but I am not holding my breath.

PcFileManager is what you need, but hold on, they are yet to make it 7610 compliant, but keep checking over at www.epocware.com for an update.
I used their current version on my 3650 which worked over bluetooth and it is a great application, just what you are looking for.

But PCFile manager connects via Bluetooth or IRDA, and I'm speaking about USB.
I know this program, but the thing it's that I don't wanna spend more money on gadgets for this phone.

Well, well, well. Aparently it is possible to see the system folders via USB. Take a peek here: Removed. Sorry, you have to register there. I'd post the info here, but I don't think that would be fair to the person who originally discovered how. Anyway, that seems to be a very good technical forum. Spending a few minutes browsing there answered alot of my questions.

Yep, it is possible. Slide through the glitch in Nokia Phone Browser

All thanks to *** from *****

For 7610 users, we all know we can't access the system folders on our PC using the available softwares (e.g PC Suite) unless epocware's filemanager got updated and would support the DKU-2 cable connection. For those who can't wait for the filemanager, you can do it with the PC suite. 1.0 Acquire a copy of the latest PC suite (6.3 as I am writing this guide). Go get it here: http://www.nokia.com/include/suppor...Suite_63_en.exe 2.0 Install and restart your PC 3.0 Now connect your 7610 on your PC via DKU-2 cable (install the cable drivers provided on your installation CD) or Bluetooth (WIDCOM is more preferred) 4.0 Launch the PC suite and click on the Transfer File Icons, windows esplorer will open up, go to Nokia Phone Browser, your 7610 icon should be seen there, if not your fone is not yet connected, go to connection on your PC suite and manage your connection. 5.0 Your 7610 should have 2 drives in it one for the phone memory (C drive) and for the rsMMC, if you have one (E Drive). 6.0 Now make a new folder anywhere on your PC, to make things simple make a new folder on drive C (your local drive) and name it to "System" 7.0 Copy the folder and paste it in the root directory of your phone memory (C drive), the System folder should now be visible on the Phone Browser, do the same for the rsMMC drive (E drive) if you would also like to view the system drive. NOTE: Once you have activated the system drive on your phone memory (C drive) and rsMMC (E drive) DO NOT go / click on their root directories on your Nokia Phone Browser (e.g. C:\ or E:\), navigate only on the folders and subfolders by clicking on the + sign to expand the tree. If you made a mistake by going to their root directories the system folder will be hidden again but when you expand it the system folder is still there but could not be accessed, your PC may hang for quite some time if you made this mistake and I suggest you to restart your PC and your 7610. And the most important thing..Do this at your own risk! That's it..hope you guys understand this simple guide, attached also is a tutorial with pictures to fully visualize what I am bluburring about.

silkshadow the link u have posted have got several link to warez site.
please be careful next time
post simple quote instead of posting suck links

Have u Tried its better from the perivous version
more option and seems to be more advance.

okay i can see the system folder with the + thing but how do i paste files into it man? is there any other software with which i can see all the folders on my phone and cut and paste into them like Fexplorer? i try 2 send .sis files to my friends but Fexplorer says memory full so i really need a program that can connect with bluetooth and data cable! i have pc suite 6.4 and i use it to connect to my 7610 via data cable. i also have a 6600 how do i connect to that using the same pc suite via bluetooth?

isnt there any other application like pc mobile drive which works in the same way through USB cable? pc mobile drive doesnt support 7610! 😞
