The file X cannot be opened.... Not signed.... ARGH! - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hey all,
I've searched through this as much as I could, and found a few things, but nothing that's ident.
My problem occurs even after a clean hard reset, and has only happened since the latest ROM update, so if anyone else has it please can you say if you get this problem... or don't...
Basically, my T-Mobile Pro will work fine for a while, but then I go to it any time after 10 mins of being clammed, and with virtually everything I try to load it comes up with an error dialog saying:
"The file 'X' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of tis components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file."
But this is with EVERYTHING, HTCMesages.exe, HTCCalender.exe, Contacts.exe, TomTom Navigator.exe...... EVERYTHING, ARGH!
The only way to sort it is soft reset, and then everythings okay, for a while anyway... till all of a sudden.....
The only things I've got on apart from the standard T-Mobile ROM is TomTom Navigator 5.21 and PocketBreeze 5. But I'm sure it's nowt to do with either of those...
Please someone, anyone,,, HELP :-/

ARGH! Just after I posted before I hard reset and got it going again.... until now.... :evil: :evil:

1st: Do you use a SD Card? If YES, does the file you try to open in the SD card. Try using a different SD card and see if you still get the same Error Message.
2nd: Do you use WM5torage or Softick's SD Card reader? If YES to either of them, you might have set them on "ACTIVATE" mode then of course you will get the Error message if you try to launch any application on the card while using any of them because you gave the control to your computer to read the card instead. The solution is to keep then on INACTIVE state while using the apps or install them in the Internal Memory rather than the card.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately it's not the SD Card, its core windows mobile applications aswell, like the contacts and messags.
I think it might have been to do with the ROM I was using, I was using T-Mobile's latest (still pretty jurassic though) but switched to the iMate one, and no problems now :-D
Surprised if it is the ROM though, as thought others would have got the error :-/

Here is the solution. I have a Samsung mobile phone and got this error after I installed Samsung's standard multimedia player "Touch Player" into My storage. Then I uninstalled it and re-installed into main storage and it works now.

Very strange,can't delete or add any file on my xda II

Strange indeed, I can't delete or add any file, when I try to do so, the small circle shows up to show that the pocket pc is working, then nothing happing it keeps going round till it blocks. I had this problem before and I solved it with a hard rest. I don't have the intention to hard reset again. Anyboby had this weird problem??
I might add that i can delete the files on my computer through activesync with no problem. I have O2 German upgraded to the T-mobile 1.60 english.. so any clues whatsoever???
What software do you have installed, I would be inclined to do a backup then hard reset, then when reinstalling software check if the problem occurs after each installation of your programs, this might pin it down to a program that is locking all files for some reason.
It seems that it happens randomly, cuz when I made a backup I didn't had this problem.Then when the problem occured I restored but the problem remailned. I have a lot of programs installed I wans doubting Microsoft voice command but the problem remailned after uninstalling it other programs(metro,tomtom 2,finger clix,fullscreen keyboard,sms writer,xcpuscalar,pocketMVP) any of these programs is known to force this problem. Thanks
I don't know that any of these programs by themselves are known to cause this behavior - but sometimes combinations of programs, glitches during installations, or any of a dozen other things can cause abnormal behavior.
I would agree with cruisin-thru . . . the only way to be sure if it is one of the programs you have installed, and if so which, is to do a hard-reset and install the programs one-at-a-time, giving some time for testing between installations.
Same problem here
Yep - I have had and currently have the same problem.
Uninstalling programs does not help, only a hard reset and then reinstall one by one testing as you go.
I have done a hard reset in the past, but never built it back up to the same spec, so have not pin pointed an app (if it is an app)
It may help if you compare to my install list ??
Let me know how it goes,
Ian

I think that there is a bug which appear only when you use the SD card slot.
I've the same strange randomic problem, the workaround is:
- Remove SD Card
- Softreset
- Reinsert SD Card
At least, you don't need hard reset anymore
I think that there is a bug which appear only when you use the SD card slot.

All I can say about that is that I use SD cards extensively, and I have never experienced the behavior that whafni77 describes. It could be . . . but I'm skeptical.
Maddoc ur the man, it really resolved the problem and u made me feel small not having thinked of that. For the rocord the only program in common with InaF is Pocket Bluetooth Tools, don't know if it has something to do with it. Thanks guys
Well what do you know!!!
Well Maddoc, this just goes to prove you learn something new every day!
o I tried to delete a file in File Explorer - it hung
o I killed off File Explorer from the running program list - probably not required, but just to prove the file had really been deleted
o I ejected my SD card - a very cheaply made one
o Soft Reset
o Tried to delete another file - and it worked !!
o Inserted the SD card
o Tried to delete another file - and it worked !!
I'm very happy, and the confusion as to why it is acting like this will soon disappear.
Thanks again!
That's the good part, the bad one is that you have to pull out the SD card every single time you do a soft reset, but I'm satisfied with that until someone knows what the heck is going on.

Just to add some extra informations...
In my office there are 2 qtek2020 users, me and another friend.
The only differences between devices is that i use SD cards regulary and only my device is having this kind of problem, the frequency of this problem arises when i use TOMTOM navigator and the maps are stored in SD card.
The results are the same with my 256mb sandisk and 128mb pretec.
Seems that at some point the QTEK2020( and i think also mda/imate etc... ) is unable to "receive" file change notifications( or something like that ) and the results are:
1) You can't delete file with "file explorer"( hourglass loop )
2) If you write a new note and save it, you can't even see the note on the list !!!
3) If you install another application, the program group/start menu is not updated !!!
BTW i've just reformatted my 256mb sd card with flashformat two days ago, no problem for the moment but i'm not using navigator now...
Thanks to all
I stand corrected! Partially anyway . . . :wink:
Since I do not use TomTom Navigator (or any other GPS software for that matter) it is conceivable that the software is corrupting the FAT on the SD card.
Have you tried using StorageTools (or other similar software) to scan (automatically fix all errors) and defrag the SD card to see if it has any effect?
Well I formatted the SD card(pdc 256) with storage tool and fixed all errors(tried fat32&16) but the problem still there. The thing remains to try is to uninstall TomTom2 along with the Gps software to see if it solves. :?:
A key point here is that even uninstalling might not solve the problem. It is a sad fact that many times when you uninstall a program, both on PCs and PPCs, it is not uncommon for registry entries to be left behind, unnecessary .dlls and other files to remain, and some files that were overwritten by newer (or older) versions to remain as well. This is why several of us have stressed hard-resetting the device . . . it is the ONLY way to be sure you are starting from a known platform.
SD problems
I've only seen these type of problems if I haven't first formatted the card in the target device first.
Well finally the problem resolved. I should say the hint that mrg2003 gave is really the solution,in other words you should not format the card from the device but rather from the card reader(fat and not fat32) and bingo no more blocks. I should say this forum is great. Cheerz :lol:

I confirm, i formatted my sd with flash format... No problems at all now !!!!
I really don't understand this perfectly right! I have an SD Card and the same problem as all of you state.
What do I have to do? I use the Qtek 2020...
Thanx in advance.
Still have a problem and can someone help me with it!
I formatted the sd card with a lot of tools through the Qtek, like storagetools and flash format.
Afterwards I tried to format through windows format tool!!
But none of them worked and still have the problem of the hourglass..... Can somebody help me? I have a Sandisk 256 MB Ultra II.
Thanx in advance

Error when opening programs. Irritating the hell our of me!!

I'm not sure what is going on but I keep running into this problem. Everyday I will run into this problem at least one or twice and it is irritating the hell out of me.
When I try to open programs I get an error saying
"The file <program name. cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file"
I think it is related to my MicroSD card because only the programs I installed on it are affected or the programs that I have transferred the DLL to the MicroSD are affected.
The only way I can correct this is soft reset the phone.
What is going on???? Somebody please help me.

This might be one of those "missing SD card" issues, whereby the SD card disappears from time to time for no apparent reason.
There's a registry hack in the Hermes Wiki that sets some SD card related keys - it's supposed to cure the problem, but as I've never experienced it myself, I couldn't say for sure.
Go search the Wiki and see what you think...
HTH,
Mark.
I tried looking on WIKI but I can't find anything about this.

You are right. It is a MicroSD problem. But unfortunately, it seems there isn't a fix for it yet.
True, it's related to your SD card. I had it randomly happening as long i was running WM5, however, since i've upgraded to WM6 2.5 Black, it seems to be gone.
If you don't want to upgrade or already have WM6, i suggest you install your proggies in your phone memory.

my main memory is full already so I have no choice but to install in the SD card. I don't want to install WM6 because I don't have time to install everything again.

Hi,

Yes, 1.73 is the one that I use without any issue. Unlike 1.75, it will not stop recognising the USB disk midway through the transfer.
thanks for the link
UPDATE: i just tried the program and it works great but when i get done using it and deactivate it I can no longer see my mini-sd card. anyone know a fix for that

I'm afraid that I seem to recall that v1.73 fried an SD card of mine - I deactivated without first stopping the drive on the PC. When I reformatted the SD card in a card reader, it was only 1Gb (previously 2GB). Was never quite sure the first time if it was WM5torage or a duff card.
Then it happened a second time with a different card. The card wasn't even a cheap import - it was a corsair. If I remember rightly, there is a Linux tool to repartition the card and I seem to recall Corsair were going to create one too(check their forums). [Have just checked the xda-dev archive and my origianl post was here http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-305615.html
All I can say is, I hope it isn't that. Can you see the SD card in a card reader? Can you see it in Start\System\Memory?
i did a soft reset and it came back

Disserpering SD Card!

I've updated my ROM to the new official HTC rom and now my SD card now keeps getting lost! If I remove and replace it, the phone finds it and works fine for a while but then any applications that use the card stop working and when I check the memory, it says "Not Installed". HTC have been their usual helpful selves (not!), when I told them it was a 16Gb Sandisk they said the Jade can only use 4Gb cards. Strange how its worked perfectly for the past 8 months.
On a different note, does Net 3.5 have to installed on the Device or can it go on the card?
Any help would be much appriciated. If not, its Flash time!
Regards,
Woolly.
Just an update on this thread. I managed to get the SD working again but it needed formatting and not just any format. The standard format option on the PC didn't work, had to download a formatting tool. It had also corrupted the card enough to make it difficult to retrieve all of the data on it, so some was lost.
Is the new ROM any good? Can't see much of a differance except for the improvement to Opera. On balance I wouldn't recomend updating.
Woolly.

Apps installed to storage card wont run from start menu

Hi all,
This always happened to me. In winmobile 6 and now 6.5. For some reasons since yesterday apps which installed to my storage card disconnected it's link or short cuts in the start menu. Now all of the apps in my storage card i can't access from start menu. when i clicked the app icon in my start menu my HD2 responded
"Cant open XXX. File is not registered or not trusted in digital signature, or can't find one of the files elements. Please resintall or restore this file."
I have to go to the file directory in my storage card to run the apps. This is very annoying and very inconivence. Anyone knows why? What's worse is that all of the new apps that i installed to my storage card has the same issue... Which means i can't no longer install apps to my storage card...
Help?
Use file explorer to find your chosen program icon /copy it
Still using file explorer go to device/windows/start menu/programs and paste shortcut using left hand bottom menu
Job done ! Rename it if you want !

if you go to file explorer can you read your sd card? I had the same issue and it was the sd card that failed so it could not read/find the program it was looking for. Try for kicks copying over some apps to a different storage card and retry. It will at least eliminate that possibility.
Yes, HD2 can read the SD card, and i have to go to the SD card location to run the apps. Just can not access from the start up menu...

I had the same problem you described. It happened after some old program I launched got the phone stuck and I had to pull the battery out to do a reset.
After the boot completed, I started to receive errors when trying to launch programs from the storage card. Uninstalling wouldn't work and reinstalling always failed.
Replacing the sd card didn't help either.
I believe that something corrupted the registry.
I finally gave up and hard reset.
The only good thing that came out of it was getting a new 16GB sd card for me to use.
My happened when i installed a lockscreen cab to my HD2 to the main memory. After that everything i installed to the storage card wont run from the startup menu.
Really? some dude told me to reformat my storage card. I'd rather do a hard resert cuz i have alot of crap in my 16G storage card.
I haven't gave up yet so i will still try to look for my other options... Thanks to know at least i am not the only one who encounter this fu**ing problem...

Gave up and hard reset a couple of times, and i found out that the reason i can't click the icon in my start menu to access the apps which i installed in my storage card. It was because of i change the local and Text. I changed from Taiwan to USA and HD2 will not let me access the apps from start menu. This is very wierd, but if i change back to Region: Chinese Taiwan, then my HD2 is ok again... Just to share with you guys...
