Remove the setup wizard after hard reset? - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Is there a way to remove the setup wizard from the XDAIIi after a hard reset?
Im trying to make the re-build process as simple as possible for the users who dont have a clue......
What effect will it have removing this, if it is at all possible?
I thought it was part of the extended rom, but it doesnt appear to be.
Thanks.

Lost photo application after hard reset

Hey, excuse my english, but last time I use it, it was at school...
I have a big problem.
After a hard reset (I wanted to install JS Landscape on My MDA2), the photo button doesn't work anymore.
If i want to specify the device apllication running with it, I can't find the soft for Photo
Could you help me please...
Nobody can help me
Please what can I do to restore this software or function???
:?:
A part of answer...
I think that after my hard reset, i've probably lost the extended rom files??
What do you think about it???
I find!!!!!!!!!
So, when you flash the rom (in my case MDA--->XDA2), if you have to do a Hard reset, you will lose every soft in the Extended Memory. :shock:
(callerID, Camera, Clearvue...)
The solution is to replace manually CAB Files, after making viewable Extended Memory folder.(It is possible with Extended rom viewer here)
Thank you for your help...

Help with trusted certificates on WM5?

Could someone please help?
I have an XDA Exec (HTC UNIVERSAL) Ive been searching for days to a solution for this without avail and you guys seem to know what your talking about! Im very new to this and need a solution to this error when i try to install some applications and run them:
" X cannot be opened. Either it is not
signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be
found "
Is there any way you can disable this in WM5? my WM5 version is OS 5.1.1700 (Build 14354.0.1.1)
Or is there any way whatsoever you can get around this? please if anyone can help do let me know and post!!
Thankyou !!
Is your phone locked ?
It may be locked or your operator prevent installing all of 3d party applications. In this case reinstalling "clean" WM5 may help (I'm not sure though) - I'm only a newbie in WM5.
Another reason that application you run trying access trusted functions - like allocation of the physical memory. In this case I'm not sure what can be done - reinstallation of WM5 will not help.
Its unlocked! so if i re-install wm5 it wont say this when i install programs? i have tried resetting the phone and installing different roms but nothing works! is there any particular rom i should be looking to install? or anything i can put in the extended rom to install after a hard reset to sort this out? PLZ HELP!
I have had that problem, too and I was going crazy. Then I tried the following tweak but I do not really know why it should work, it just did:
in HKLM\System\ObjectStore is a reg key "RegistryType=1", which means Hive based registry.
When you set it to "RegistryType=0", which means FILE based registry, all changes you do in the registry will stay there also if you reboot with device's reset button...
BUT AFTER YOU CHANGE THIS VALUE, FIRST REBOOT HAS TO BE DONE WITH SOME SOFTWARE, NOT WITH THE RESET BUTTON.
Subsequent reboots can be done with reset button then. :lol:
there is another tweak that gets rid of the warning messages, but I did not use that one
really! which software could i use to reboot the phone??
also is resco registry okay to view and change this? it says registry type 0x0 (1) i have now changed it to 0x0 (0) is this correct? i performed a soft reset but im stil getting the error message! is this because i need to use software to reboot?
yep, the first soft reboot needs to be done with software. After that you can use the usual way again.
After I had done this I removed all "problem apps" and then reinstalled them and it worked.
What software did you use or could i use to reboot my ppc chuckchuck?

XDA Atom Extended Rom - How to put new files in startup?

Hi All,
I bought Cartystudios Ultimate Theft Alert after reading about it on this site. It is indeed a good product but theres a problem when using it on the atom.
If a thief hard resets the device, the protection is lost.
apparently, on most devices, its possible to put the file in the extended rom, so that if its hard reset, the app loads and runs the checks to see if the sim has been changed.
I've managed to locate the hidden partition using the unlocker but placing the files has no effect. Is it possible to edit anything that will run the uta application when the device is hard reset? Can the autoinst.dat file be edited to change which progs r run on startup?
anyone?
I don't see any reason to put autoinstalled program after hard reset. Usually, you use programs that need serials... so during startup, you must input these serials... that need time&serial list... that you must store anythere... To my mind the better way, use SPB backup programm, which create self extract application, that :wink: autoinstall all programs, that you need after hard reset.
yes under ordinary circumstances, you're correct...
however, this program is to help you recover your phone when it's stolen.
I dont even need it to install upon hard reset, it would be enough if it would just run after hard reset as it is an exe file.
Basically i need some way to run exe files from the extended rom upon hard reset...kind of the way the auto configurator always runs, or the o2 install app runs
anyone managed to cook this into ATOM?
anyone manage to locate the autoinst.dat or config.txt for customisation?

No MMS folder!

I did a hard reset, put everything back on, but I can not find or create a MMS account or folder.
Any Idea?
10x
Ugh. That happened to me, and I did a hard reset to get it back....
Funnyy thing is that I have had it before, but after hard reset there is non.
As I recall, when I first turned on device I had the same problem, but this is nonsense.
Solution
Ok, With fit4cat twik I unlocked the extended rom , where the MMS*.cab file was, so I just run it and MMS here they come.
Just in case somebody needs it.
As I'm trying to get rid of the MMS folder without a hard reset, I'd be curious to know what you did to make it go away in the first place... any ideas?
Can't say really, I think when I hard reset the device it did not install from extended rom, so mayne you can delete it from extended rom and then hard reset.
But save the file in case you will need it later.

How to stop the initial installation

When you do a factory format, it installs the windows mobile, then the phone starts normally and locks for a bit and starts installing the SE programs. Is there a way to halt the automatic initial installation of these programs ? I just want to see whether my phone will be faster and crash less if none of these initial programs were installed on top of win mo. oh yeah, I was hoping to do this without changing the original rom installed. any idea ?
EDIT: found my answer just hit the reset button when it wants to do the installation.
EDIT2: NO, that doesn't work, read post #3. Still looking for a way to do it.
so how is it? any good?
i take it you dont have any pannels and its just a standard win mo device and how is the speed?
I've just tried that method and it doesn't work. I can't believe some people would just post you solutions that they have never tried -_- (I read this solution in another thread and then posted it in my edit).
Anyways, anyone knows of another way to do it ? and have tried it?
do you know HOW the initial setup works? what registry keys or files are used to control the setup? And where are the cab-files located after hard reset? that might offer some possibilities.
a simple soft-reset before the setup launches is not enough, after the reset it is lauched again. After the setup is complete, it is NOT launched again, so there must be some reg-key or file, that is set at the end of the initial setup. if you can set this manualy, it may stop the setup.
another way might be to remove the cabs completely, so they cant be executed.
the only working way I KNOW is to reflash the rom completely. that works
I dont like this way because its kind of risky and there may be problems with the warranty. But i am sure, you have to modify the flash-rom-content anyway to stop the setup. And i like the branding-stuff even less
I don't mind reflashing it, but I don't have the expertise.
I just wish someone would release a clean lite rom and let us install the cabs separately, without any modifications (so no registry tweaks or anything).
