converting *.mdb to cdb using activeSync 4.0 - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Hi guys
I use sprintDb Pro (database app) from kaione Soft and recently upgraded to WM 5.0 (thanks Buzz). Problem is that AS4 has a problem copying my databases to the desktop and vice versa. It says : access denied and general access error
other filetypes copy and convert with no problems. Would somebody using WM 5.0 please copy a *.mdb file to their XDAII and report what happened please ?

bump

hmm, just found this :
Note Synchronizing and converting Access database files is available only on devices running Windows Mobile software for Pocket PC 2003 and earlier.
bit strange I think, not funny :evil:

I get these same errors, Ive spent a day looking at MDB converters and had some limited success.... But I just want to plug my phone in and let it synch automatically.... Anyone got a surefire method or way around the errors the OP mentioned.

just edit registry key from 2 to 1 at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001
then soft reset and try syncing again.

It is incredible I had the problem that even after installing SprintDB I could not sync the database between my PocketPC and the PC.
But this simple registry hack solved the problem. Where did you find it? there is no indication about this in the SprintDB manual, nor on kaione web site!
One important thing, I have WM5.

Well, I did the same and it does not work because in the conversion settings for Microsoft Access in ActiveSync there is no option to convert from mdb to cdb , consequently it simply transfers the file from the desktop without converting it.
I also have wm5 and using latest ActiveSync.
Any help?

gonzaloblanco1992, I had no problem at all with the registry hack. Maybe try again after a fresh new installation.

AdaptROM unable to connect

I can't figure out why AdaptROM cannot connect to my XDA. I am running Active Sync 3.7 on Windows XP pro. I have Norton Anti-Virus and several other applications that are always running. I have tried disabling all of them and it didn't make any difference. I am running the new T-Mo WME2003 and the new 6.4 radio stack on my SX-56. It syncs just fine with the PC and has a pairing relaitionship set up.
Neither AdaptRom or any of the .exe upgrade programs, nor Mobipassword can connect to my XDA. Anyone have any ideas why this might be? I have tired using a serial cable and the USB cradle and changing the connection settings. When I originally upgraded it way back when to the ATTWS SX-56 PPCE2002 rom it worked just fine. I hadn't tried it since.
The only thing I can think of is a registry setting being hosed up. I am going to try uninstalling active sync and reinstalling and see if that makes a difference.
Suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
I tried removing and reinstalling Ative Sync and it didn't have any effect. Both programs show an Active Sync error cannot connect to device.
It's as if something must have the port tied up.
Same Here
I upgraded to the 4.00.10 rom on my xda but I can't get either adaptrom or Programme A to run so that I can downgrade the device or reflash it.
Any help would be appreciated as I don't have access to an sd card writer.

I had the same problem U had before. the best solution is to buy a SDcard reader to do the job.

Could this mean that some supporting files are missing from the T-Mobile rom? If somebody could get a list of all the files that are different between the 4.00.05 and the 4.00.10 roms then it might point to something...
You can try another hard reset of your xda. That happened to me about a month ago and a hard reset fixed it. Unfortunately I had to create a new relationship etc.. - Jim

How does it differ from this CAB file I pulled off the HTC Apache?
I use this in my Extended ROM so that I can run unsigned applications, CAB files, and CPF files during the initialization procedure after a hard reset.
Hi BTT,
This is based on that exact cab. The only difference in enabling RAPI calls also, and doing it without needing user interaction, only needing a activesync connection.
Is a little utility I use for integration into batch files.
Bye,
Ricardo
Certificate disabler..
Probably a dumb question, but is it a replacement fort certchk on 2003 devices? Still looking for such a program.
Thx
Thanks Machinegod, this worked well. I used it on an XDA exec will it work with all WM5 devices?
Hi Machinagod
Is there a way i can call your routine from code?
I have developed software for WM5 but cannot access the database with the standard MS settings. I would like to give my users the option to unlock the rapi calls and install automatically.
Thanks in advance

to ronaldovic: I believe this utility is for disabling signed applications so you can install apps that have not been signed. I have used BTT cert cab in my extended rom since he posted it (Thanks BTT, It has been very usefull)
If you are looking for disable cert check so you can activesync with MS exchange without a a SSL . Certificate connection, Micro$oft still offers a download to disable the cert sync check..

Miracle Registry
i checked many registry of "Security policies" in different device, and also SDK.
http://asukal.seesaa.net/article/12583144.html
You can understand how change it for your neccesity.
this was for your refference.
and also i got made one registry file which has many "Certificate Sotre"
from different setting devicees and CABs and SDK Emu.
This registry make your device to enable working many kinds of dll and exe or any other files without digital signed(not for all)
multi user interface files also can effect without digital signatures.
(shellress still can not, but worked with Smartphone signature)
The security revel will be same or lower than SDK emu.
but not completely finish to edit it.
so possibility of some side-effect or unkown problem.
Hope understand this point and use it as test.
But once you use this registry, you got understand why i said it miracle.
just import this registry and make soft reset.
"syntac error" displayed when you import this, but works.i will cheking the reason of this error.
lets test it.

Activpync wont install on my computer...

Any reasons why not? Im on Windows XP yet it comes up a warning saying that it will only work on computers with XP!
This is very frustrating...
Is there any other way to link my phone up to my computer? I would really like to transfer some music onto it
Have you got SP2 installed?
I cant, I dont have a genuine Windows.
Do you NEED SP2? Surely there is a way around this...
I can download activesync 3.8 but I think I need the drivers for the phone?
Any help... PLEASE!?!
I've had the same problem with my XP version
impossible also to install an update from windows site
I had to install an update on my windows 2000, that worked
and then activesync 4.1 finally worked 100%
other way to work around that was to download things on XP
put them on my old SPV E200 with activesync 3.7 wich works
and then send the things on my SPV M3000 by bluetooth...

Or get a Legit copy of Windows XP!!!
You run a pirate operating system then compalin when software doesn't work with it properly.
Come back when you have a license. Is your Wizard stolen as well?
hmmm dude...
the post isnt if its right or wrong to steal windows! Its to do with how we can cheat them more!
I think the only way round this is to download a crack to get xp2.
If I could find the drivers for the phone would it work on activesync 3.8?
PS. No my phone is not stolen, Im sure you have a copied CD in your collection somewhere too.
There's a vast number of copied XP versions with SP2 pre-installed available out there. Should be all you need.
I can get a legal copy of windows xp from somewhere...
But to install it would I loose all of my documents?
chrisredmayne: it would be in your interest to backup your docs (and whole system) before installing SP2, even if your windows is legit. It's a big install!
You could make your own SP2 install disk, by "slipstreaming" SP2 into a windows install disk. Also, there are cracks for SP2, and there are also cracks for trial versions of windows.
I imagine the ActiveSync install could probably be cracked to skip the SP2 check, but it's not a long term solution.
I don't recommend any of this. When you start using SP2 and Windows in the future, you'll have to have a legitimate copy to download certain updates from Microsoft, so you might as well get hold of a legit windows, one way or the other. OEM copies are stupidly cheap, and you can even buy an OEM Media Center install for a small amount of money.

there is a piece of software at
http://www.softick.com/pocket-pc/cardexport2 called "card export II"
allows you to make the wizard look like a mass storage device, so activesync is not needed to transfer to the storage card.
ps (takes a few goes to install)
I dont get how to install it, only looked at it for a minute though. I unpacked all of the files, and it asks to open a prc file? and press hotsync on the cradle... (Guess that means phone).... Stumped
if i remember correctly .prc files are for palm user's not pocket pc.
i think you have downloaded the wrong version!
Use cardreader to download into mSD, anything you want:
Music, apps, but you need cab files to install it from mSD card.

aliendad, can you confirm you actually have Softick Card Export II for Pocket PC working on a wizard device? I have tried this on my k-jam and it didnt work at all. Even when i contacted Softick support they have said they are still working on a WM5 / Wizard compatible version.
EDIT: i just went and downloaded v2.10 of CE2PPC (which funnily enough isnt even mentioned on the website). In the setup i downloaded, i found there is a WM5 ARM install cab however this still fails to install on my Wizard / K-JAM as with all the previous versions.
Thanks
Chris
You need a minimum of SP1. You do not need SP2. For ActiveSync 4.1. If you cannot pass the genuine validation tool you need to enable automatic updates and to install them automatically. You cannot use the Windows Update site. If you set to install Critical Updates automatically it should bring down SP2 (as it is considered a Critical Update)
Also you can just download SP2 (the full install) and you should be able to install it. It should not require validation as you can install it if not connected to the network.
Although the above may not work if you truly have a messed up version of XP. I am assuming you have either a cracked version of a legit copy or an invalid product code.
I have read about people cracking XP Media Center 2005 and all worked well until the Genuine Validation tool. Then somebody came out with a crack for that. :lol:
Good Luck
I just got a disk with XP so I think its a fake validation code that I have.
I downloaded the SP2 from the windows update site, and from a random site somewhere that I searched on google for.
The problem was that when I tried to install it stopped after a few minutes and said that it wasnt a genuine windows. So Im guessing any version that I download will have the same check on it.
But I shall try and turn my updates on later and see if it works, or give that other program a go!

yes, is does work, had to do a lot of soft reseting but now have a quick access icon at the bottom of the screen to select card export or active sync.
a few days ago did a hard reset, and installed card export as one of the first installs and it installed much more smoothly that the earlier install.
ps great prog makes things much easier, can't install activesync at work.

Mac support

I am looking for a way to sync ical with my tasks and appointments on my phone. Ive found software online and whatnot, but nothing for 5.0. anyone know of anything? I would really appreciate it.
Missing Sync for Windows Mobile
I'm using Missing Sync for Windows Mobile on my OS X MBP. It works great and you can install .cab applications with it as well. Unfortunately you still need a windows machine/install to install the .exe stuff but I've found most software vendors for PPC apps supply a .cab install option now as well.
http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_windowsmobile.php
cool ill track down a PC and try it out. THanks!
You won't need a PC to install Missing Sync, it's a Mac universal binary. What I was speaking of are applications for the PPC device that require you to run an executable on a host PC (windows) to then install the application on to your device. However I just found this on another forum and I think I'm going to give it a try.
File Juicer - one of the features is "Extract CAB files from Pocket PC self installing EXE files" once you have the .cab you can install the application via missing sync.
http://echoone.com/filejuicer/
oh I think i found this once, but 40$ and no trial scared me...

Internet Explorer error

Hi, i have my trinity with WM6 for a long yime with no problems. But now i have 2 problems.
1- Can't open any page with Internet explorer it says "the adress is not valid. Check the adress and try again" and i have a connection in the phone because i can use opera or live messenger.
2- Can't do streaming either it says not enough storage to complete the operation (i have 25MB available).
can you help me?
I have the same problem also. I think it has something to do with registry cleaning made by sk tools or other software. I wonder if anyone knows witch registry keys should be set, because I don't have an earlier backup. If there's no solution I might have to install a new rom. BTW MediaPlayer and Internet explorer work fine for local adresses.

try by
turning off pie, go to
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections" in the registry and erase the key named "DefaultConnectionSettings"
when you open pie, this key will be regenerated regarding the proxies settings
didn't work... Anyone had this issue and solved it without a ROM update. Windows media player can't open url's also.
