Hello all,
Attached is a simple CAB file that should have set the PIE user-agent stuff to be identifying the thing as IE6. I think there may be others around, I know I've seen it in a larger cab, so don't worry about this specific function. My question is regarding the fact that when I try to run it on my HTC Wizard (running WM5), I get "Installation of PIE_as_IE6.cab was unsuccessful".
I built the CAB off of the "CAB Template.cab" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=113615#113615 - just in case I'd run into that version issue with WM5.
Any thoughts out there on what's wrong with the CAB? Or is there a different reason it won't install?
Hi, what CSP are you using to change those settings and how are you deploying it to the device? Chances are access to that provider is restricted to a higher security role than what the cab file has permissions to do. RAPI still has access to most service providers by default but if you're downloading the cab over the air to the device it'll probably need to be signed with a suitable certificate before it's allowed to make setting changes. Mobile 5.0 security has been beefed up and its now a bit of a mission to do what was reasonable simple to do on 2003. All cpf files need to be signed if not deployed over RAPI as well, for even something trivial like adding a browser favourite.
editor is OCP Software's WinCe Cab Manager (version: 1.1)
deploy method is copy over USB cable by ActiveSync through Total Commander+WinCe Device access plugin. Execution of CAB is on the device itself through Total Commander CE or Explorer.
No CSP in use (err.. afaik).
You may be right that the part of the registry in question may simply be unavailable to access without special signing. I'll have to dig for those keywords a bit.
Yeah...the more I research Mobile 5.0 security the steeper it gets. It seems security permissions extend all the way to file IO access. Writing certain recognized system files (like theme files) without adequit permissions effectively renders those files as untrusted and they stop behaving in their expected manner. Its a pain.
Hi all,
I have several WM5 and WM6 devices wich connect to my companies network using GPRS for Outlook sync and a custom application. I want to use our proxy-server to add internet acces for our users in a controlled way. The OWA server and the custom application server need to be directly, not by the the proxy-server. So I have to add those the URL Exceptionlist ( there are dots in the names).
Manually this is easy to configure but I use scripts to configure the devices (XML-provisioning and some other tools). Can't find out how to add entries to the URL Exceptions list. Found they are stored in \ConnMgr\CMMapP and ~CMMapG. Copied these files from one device to another (by ActiveSync) but that doesn't work. These files have the system attribute set and I guess their permanently in use by ConnectionManager.
Doe anyone have a suggestion how to distribute URL exceptions?
Thank in advance.

Hey after flashing my tp2 (Energy rom titanium w/manila 2.1 june 19 2010 rom) and installing a few cabs i cant get a connection to the share my internet connection by usb on my pc. I don't know if it was the rom or the cabs i installed. (Im using T-mobile data, epc.tmobile.com)
Under the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Comm/InternetSharing in the settings folder there is a file named: "Default", data: "value not set", Type REG_NONE. Under the status folder that same file is there along another NAME: Enable, Data0x00000001(1), Type REG_DWORD. This is when i have the phone connected to pc and using internet sharing. I think my registry might be messed . The device is recognize that is trying to access the internet on the PC but it just doesn't establish the connection. Can anyone help me out? Is there such thing as a stock internet sharing cab or if some one sent me their registry files would that fix the problem? Thankx
I want to ask if it possible when I connect via WiFi, QuickGPS automatically download data (like same way when I connect via ActiveSync).
I dont care about the way (script, shortcut of exe, registry, other way...).
Hi,
I have googled for several hours and found a lot of solutions, but there's always one step, which I can't pass through!
The situation is: HTC touch, everything is working, display is working, but the touch control doesn't.
The problem is that phone connects to pc as hard drive. So I don't have access to ActiveSync - when usb is connected it shows internet sharing tab. Because I cannot control anything via touchscreen, I can't get in any settings ... so options like sync with outlook, mymobiler ... are not able to be used.
I created .cab which should change registry entry to show connection type selection when usb plugged, but I can't confirm installation (is there a way to create cab which is installed without confirmation)- I can control the phone with cursor button and red/green buttons - so I can use some programs like tot. commander ... but I can't input any values, i can't access any options on soft keys ...
Does anybody have some idea ... I'm running out options ...
Thanks
Hard reset seems to be the obvious step.
Edit: sorry, I overlooked your post title, did you consider repairing your lcd or digitizer?
Try to find the program that actually toggles the USB. Some CPL only start a program that does the job finally. In the windows directory search for *usb* with TotalCommander.
Probably also BT connection to ActiveSync could be activated for RemoteAccess?
What happens if you do not have an SD card in the device? Will it fall back from Mass storage to AS?
Total Commander can also copy a reg-file to the registry, but for that you have to be able to select the options in TC - not an option either I think.
You could also use MortScript to write to the registry - must be installed first, however.
Probably there is a program that can map the softkeys to hardkeys?
What about AEButtons+
Thanx for all advices, but:
1. I wasn't thinking the screen, because that's my sister's old phone, and I need to get her PIM into new one (and throw this one against the wall) ... in the end she can manualy rewrite contacts, because listing in people is possible with cursor - but sms, call logs etc. will be lost and I'd like to save her from hours of manual writing hundret of contacts.
2. When connect without SD, no active sync connection or other selection appears - only internet sharing.
3. Copiing file in Total Commander is impossible to finish - by holding down the cursor I get menu (open, copy, send), but to comlete process I'd have to press softkey with 'ok'
4. I cannot establish any bluetooth connction, because it always require the code, which I'm not able to write withou touchscren
5. Mort script is unfortunately not installed
6. AEButtons could be good - but as it comes 'from an unknown publisher' - I have to confirm installation - what I'm not able to ...
... I'm slowly givin' up ... disabled digitizer always brings me into dead end.
I also thought about dump ROM and run it in emulator - but I've never done this and it would probably take more time to learn it then manual rewrite of contacts ...
What about executing PPCPimbackup on the device? This will save/restore the stuff you need on the device
...unknown publisher, is it?

Right - yes/no ...
When you connect the phone to the pc, do you have access to it´s storage? If yes, just grab the file PIM.VOL. Now, install microsoft emulator and replace this file. Now you can backup (and even sync if you install activesync) with the emulator.
You will need :
device emulator 3 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...af-12e3-4b2f-a394-356e2c2fb114&displaylang=en)
emulator images : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...a8-1dd7-426f-a913-4f370a65a582&displaylang=en

Man! You're my (resp. my sister's) savior! I don't have access to storage, but I've used total commander - copy to clipboard / paste from clipboard on sdcard and that allowed me to download it. Now I tried to replace pim.vol in new device - Topaz with lates Energy ROM - sms are not restored, but contacts and calendar are ... thats 90% what I needed!
Anyway I'm going to try emulator to get those sms ... but I'm sutisfied for now!!!

THANX!
The sms should be in cemail.vol, but I can't reach it ... the clipboard unfortunately doesn't work for this file, but sms weren't the main goal ...
You're welcome buddy. I always use the emulator for this kind of thing as it is safer, will not hurt my phone.

Dajbyco, could you please explain what you did cause I have exactly the same problem with my brother's phone. The screen is dead on his HTC Touch pro 2 and we need to retreive his contacts and calendar. I've downloaded Total Commander, but I don't know how to access the pim.vol file.
Thank you!
If the Active Sync Connection still works you can do everything remote via PC.

I can't do anything since I don't see what I do. The screen is black. So I can't reach the Active Sync Connection settings.
You don't need to access the AS settings on the device if it is not in "Mass Media mode". There is a remote management software that allows to see what is on the screen of your device. The only one I know that installs without any device-side confirmations is Everywan: http://www.sparus-software.com/en/download/software/everywan-remote-support,232.html
For accessing the options for Active Sync on the PC you do that directly in AS on the PC. To get best advice, could you tell what your problem is in detail?
So most important question:
Does the device connect to the PC in "Active Sync Mode"?
Same problem - how can I copy to clipboard

Hi, I have the same problem. What do you mean you used total commander and copy to clipboard? I have total commander open but when I connect my phone with the computer it does recognise the connection but it doesn't show any storage (shows drive but no access to it). So what can I then copy and how?
Many thanks!!
