Hello,
I have to deploy around 100 tytn's to users with support for japanese and total commander. I managed to get the softwares installed in 1 cab, but now I'm looking for a way to configure the devices with settings like GPRS, proxy server, Owner information, change HTC Today screen to the normal WM5 one.
I configured one tytn with all correct settings, exported the registry keys which were changed, combined them in a cab but it doesn't work. Not even when exporting each key to one cab.
For example, I set in the Owner information the address, the end of the email, a general phone number, export the reg keys in HKCU\ControlPanel\Owner, create a cab. When I import the cab on another pda all goes fine, everyhting is ok in the registry but not on the today screen. All the settings are empty there. With all other settings like gprs it seems to be the same, it seems that the today screen needs a refresh but even a soft reset doesn't solve it.
Does anyone has some experience with this or with deploying large amounts of smartphones?
Thank you for your help
David

I have been using a registry hack everyday to prevent my WM5 device from locking itself every 30 minutes. At around 7:00pm the company I work for forces a policy to my device using push email. At that time I open a registry editor and modify \hklm\security\policies\policies\00001023 from 0 to 1. That prevents the unit from asking for a password for 24 hours.
Making this modification requires very little time compared to entering a password 20 times a day but I would like to stream line the process a little more. Is there an easy way to create a .cab or .exe that performs the same task? After I enter the password at 7:00pm it would be great to click on a .cab or .exe to modify that registry value once a day.
Does anyone have any input on how to create a .cab or .exe to do this?
Thanks,
SeanH
I am half way there. I found that with Resco registry editor I can export values that can be imported by double clicking the .reg file.
When you double click on the .reg file it asks if you would really like to import the reg values. Then after it’s done it pops up another box notifying they are installed.
Is there a way to import them with out all the prompts.

i believe this issue has been address on this board here somewhere.. and i think it was determined that its not the device that requires it, but its the exchange server requesting it... And to get that changed you would have to talk to your exchange server admin.. although i could be mistaken, i cant seem to find the post..

You are correct it has been addressed on a few forums. WM5 users have two options to disable the 30 minute password. First is to go to their Exchange Admin and ask them to change it. Second is to modify that registry entry and make sure lock is set to 24 hours. Once it’s set for 24 hours you just need to modify the registry entry.
I work for a very large company with an IT department that does not make exceptions for anyone. The registry tweak has worked great. I am just trying to find a way to make it easier.
If someone does know a simple way to modify that entry it would be greatly appreciated.

same problem here...is there already a solution??
thnx..
When i try to edit the registry to open the port it says
access is denied how to i get around it
Any help please.
A registry entry to open a port?
Mind to talk more about what are you trying to do actually?
If you are doing SIP, it's your application to open that port, not the registry.
I am trying to do sip but was told that the port had to be opened by
changing the registry. The item below is what i am trying to change
HKLM\System\VoIP\SIP
EnablePort5060 = 0
as i am unable to connect to a sip server.
Hiya Zed
Fancy meeting you here
So you ended up completing this by removing the memory card, rebooting (soft reboot) and making the change. It's certanly an option to remember to get the job done
Oh, Welcome to XDA Developers You can normally find me in the Hermes room

This registry is only for RTC app which is suppesed to be in WM6 but is not. If you have instlled VoIP from installers taken from x-dev then OK, you can play with this registry, but if you are using some standard VoIP application like SJPhone or some other commercialy available one, then forget about this registry. Your app will do it for you.
However, to change registry, you need proper registry editor. like Resco in eg.
If yo have problem with VoIP and RTC then take in mind that there are SIP servers wth which RTC works, and some other SIP servers with wich RTC does not work. You can try with asterisk, FWD and some few more, but mostly with others you will have problems.
Easy solution, take SJphone for PPC, works well with all SIP servers, is free, but is bit to havy for the system. The best commercial VoIP app (at leas for me) is Aget phone, also good is X-PDA from GlobalIPTel.

After a few day of searching out how to resolve implus yahoo login problems from my location, I've done it myself. My device is HTC Diamond 2. I don't know if anyone has that kind of issue, but here is the solution:
implus v. 5.67.1 (that's what i use now) or higher i guess:
- go and create your account user/password in implus, yahoo client;
- use a registry editor like resco registry and go to :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Apps\Shape Services IM+ Setting\Accounts\0\
Edit String Value "Host". The default string should be "scs.msg.yahoo.com". Put your string: "cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com" (without quotes, of course)
Save or Done, close the registry tools and that's all, you can login yahoo client from implus.
Here is a list with other hosts, checked by me:
66.163.181.173
66.163.181.189
And another found but not tested:
mcs.msg.yahoo.com
scsa.msg.yahoo.com
scsb.msg.yahoo.com
scsc.msg.yahoo.com
scsd.msg.yahoo.com
scse.msg.yahoo.com
scsf.msg.yahoo.com
scsg.msg.yahoo.com
scsh.msg.yahoo.com
relay.msg.yahoo.com
vcs.msg.yahoo.com
vcs1.msg.yahoo.com
vcs2.msg.yahoo.com
Hope is usefull. Best regards.
Thanks for your solution,it's great and now my IMplus can log in again in Yahoo after several days problem
Thanks a lot for this. I was getting frustrated with the ever-changing Yahoo server.
Thank U bro...
It works!....
Ok, I have a problem so far none of the above hosts work... I have set up yahoo messenger name and password and its not working... any suggestions or advice anyone can offer?
It appears the servers have changed once again.
I confirm none of the hosts I have tried work anymore either.
Bummer
cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com working just fine. i'm still using it.
scs.msg.yahoo.com (default) also working.
I have been seeing various posts on people struggling to make BBConnect work on HTC Touch Pro 2 a.k.a Rhodium and thought I would put down a step by step guide from various posts put down through this forum So rejoice all you HTC Touch Pro 2 owners like me BB Connect is finally working and so is Multiple APN's. I have BB Connect Enterprise and GPRS connecting simultaneously and its showing up on the notifications manager.
This step by step solution is thanks to Cornholio, Absahnen & NRGZ8(The Master Chef who cooks wonderful ROms across devices)
So Here Goes
Step I: GET YOURSELF A NEW ROM:
Trying to install Blackberry Connect is very buggy on most of the stock ROMS and will keep on failing. So go and get yourself the latest NRGZ8 ROM for Rhodium I am using Build 21877 27th Nov Standard Manila 2.1. The ROM is anyway faster with almost no bugs and free of Junk that you see on standard ROMS
download the ROM from this link:
http://hotfile.com/list/93322/b5a2687
Step2: CHANGE AKU SETTINGS
This change is needed to make BB Connect work on WinMo 6.5 ROMS.
Using a registry editor go to HKLM/System/Versions
There you will see the aku key usually on any WinMo 6.5 ROM its .5.xx.xx change the aku value to .1.6.0(.1.6.3 didnt work, the connection was getting dropped)
Step 3: FOOLING YOUR BB CONNECT SOFTWARE TO THINK YOUR DEVICE IS A RAPHAEL
The Rhodium is not yet supported by RIM and looks like they have withdrawn support for further devices. Therefore you need the BB connect to believe that your Touch Pro 2 is a Touch Pro i.e. Your Rhodium is a Raphael. To do this you have to make registry changes you can use any registry editor I used Resco Registry Editor which loads when you load Resco Explore on your device To do this follow the steps below very carefully, using the registry editor
Instructions:
------------
- Uninstall any BB Connect software if you loaded.
- Attached find a rar file which contains SetModelID.exe. Unzip it and copy it over to the \windows\ folder of your device.
- Using any registry editor of your choice navigate to HKLM\init Create a new String Value with the name "Launch130" and a value of "SetModelID.exe" (without the quotes)
If Launch130 already exists, choose a number greater than 130, it doesn't really matter, just make sure it is higher than the other entries so it get started after everything else.
This makes sure the exe isnt started after every softreset.
- Do a softreset
- The program changes your model-id from "HTC-Rhodium" to "HTC-Raphael" in memory
- Install Blackberry Connect like you usually do (My tests where successfull with version 4.0.0.106)
- After installation and the auto-reset through BBC open the BBC settings and go to the Info-Tab. Under device-name there should now be HTC-Raphael.
- If you're using BES configure your device using enterprise activation or the BB Connect desktop app
STEP 4: ENABLING MULTIPLE APN'S
This will allow you simultaneously have an active BBConnect and a GPRS connection active at the same time
Go to:
HKLM\Software\OEM\RIL\OperatorContexts
There you will find several numbers. E.g. 26202 for Vodafone in Germany.
The number is a combination of MCC / MNC so 262 02. You might find you operator in this list:
http://surfio.de/info/mcc_mnc/mcc_mnc_liste_6.html
or do a google search for your specific operators MCC/MNC nos
Create the two DWord Value Entries below if they arent there:
GPRSContextNumber = 3
UMTSContextNumber = 3
Just set the Contexts value to 3 and delete the NetworkContexts entry. It will be created from the source above with the value 3.
And voila you will have multiple connections running simultaneously you can get your BB Mails as well as see Youtube videos over GPRS. I managed to do this over a frustrating 48 hour period and I thought will share this for anyone seeking an answer.
Cheers and enjoy
Man! The guide looks great! but it makes my brain hurt!!! Arggg!!!
(Hardly understand some part of the guide.)

Heres my step by step, plus all the software and a cab called black berry that someone else kindly put together for me that does all the registry steps (and makes the multiple APN switch for TMOB US). (BTW this has worked on EVERY ROM I have used, 6.1, 6.5, 6.53, sense 2.1 and 2.5):
['black berry cab' does all these]:
Copy SetModelID.exe into windows
HKLM\init: Create a new string: Launch130 with value: SetModelID.exe
HKLM\system\versions\aku - change to .1.6.3 [which works for me]
HKLM\Software\OEM\RIL\OperatorContexts\...
Create new ones or edit your relevant operators GPRS and UMTS to 3
[for US find them in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_network_codes_in_the_United_States]
HKLM\Comm\Cellular\RIL\
set the Contexts value to 3
Delete the NetworkContexts entry
Soft Reset
Install BB Settings CAB
(I always create a shortcut in programs from 'BB Settings' in Program Files/Blackberry - its a quick way to run this file later)
Either: Using BB connect desktop for WM 'configure wireless handset' (see below)
Or: get new key generated by your company's tech support and enter them into BB Settings on your device
(Activesync blackberry connect desktop setup can be found at http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/bb_desktop_4.0.0.22.zip. I use this becuase YOU CAN GENERATE YOUR OWN KEY and configure your handset again and again which means you dont have to bug tech support every time you burn a new ROM, which I do every few days!)
for some reason I cant upload the blackberry connect cab, so here is the link http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/bbconnect_wm6_professional_bb.4.0.0.106.cab
black berry cab is attached.

Well what can I say Mr What 150 was trying to help. The step by step guid is written keeping noobs in mind so that you dont get back Q's on How to do this? and How to do that? and help ppl besides just those in the US who cant use the cab posted here anyways and dont know how to write complicated XML codes.
Thanks a lot patcat!!!
I had my rhodium working with BB connect but no multiple APNs... had to manually suspend BB service and enable GPRS everytime I needed anything from the internet. Those days are gone now!!!
Now, have you ever wondered why is it that BB Messenger, being a Java application, can not be ported to WM and run on our TP2s? I mean, we have our BB data plans, a PIN# and are connected to the Blackberry service.. what else do we need for BB Messenger to work?

You are welcome Roberto. I havent yet come across any cab for BB messenger. There has been talk of a BB application suite to run on WinMo but I havent seen any beta's also of that floating around. If you do come across any BB Messenger cab do post it here or PM me the cab.
Most reliable method
Here is what I do...I think it is the most reliable method....and I have used it with just about every ROM out there and it works...everytime...It looks like a lot of steps but it is very easy and after the first ROM flash you will know what do do for any others...I actually learned this from this site and MUCH smarter people than me...so thanks to all those who helped get Blackberry Connect working. Without this site I might still have an 8525 because I need blackberry connect...!
Installing Blackberry connect...this has to happen in this order...
1. Download a ROM
2. Edit the ROM using the information from here, it looks complicated but takes less than a minute essentially you use the program you download to change any reference to Rhodium to Raphael using a search: http://www.silentservices.de/HexEdit-ROM-for-BBC.html
3. Flash the edited ROM.
4. Install the CAB file I attached it will change the AKU for you...I actually put it in my UC script so it automatically installs before Blackberry Connect...
5. Install Blackberry Connect version 4.0.0.106
Allowing Multiple APN's (This can happen at ANY time)
Follow step four in the original guide or if you are AT&T all you have to do is use a registry editor and go to HKLM\Software\OEM\RIL\Operator Contexts\310410 and change UMTSContextNumber to 2. If you use 2 then you don't have to worry about anything else like deleting the Network Contexts entry....

Works excellently on my TP2 with .106 cab on Vodafone India network at Delhi.
Good work bro, well sorted out steps

Address book, Sending pictures via Email not available
Hi,
I've got everything working thanks to you guys.
When composing a new Email, the address book is not being used (no Auto completion or suggestion).
I would take a picture from the camera but the option to send via Email is greyed out with the account setup via BB.
No HTML Email viewing.
Is it designed to work like that with BB Connect?

PIN is provided by GSM service provider. These step enable the BBC software to accept your handset model as compatible for BB services. Its not a hack for working BB without BB activation. Get the BB services activated from GSM operator and u shall have a PIN also.

I added what I know...it does seem since Blackberry connect is an older program everything ends up like a work around...
When composing a new Email, the address book is not being used (no Auto completion or suggestion).
It won't auto complete. If you click the menu and use the "check Names" feature it will first look in your address book and then if you hit Lookup it will look in the global address book. A little more cumbersome but it works.
I would take a picture from the camera but the option to send via Email is greyed out with the account setup via BB.
I have not been able to send photos from the camera in the last several Roms...so I think it is the newer Album that doesn't allow it. You can still send it by attaching it when creating an email, but yes this is a little cumbersome as well...
I only have one email account setup on my device which i

hi there, i have the same problem of not having a pin on my tp2, my carrier says the pin is on the device here is a copy and paste of my carrier web iste when i tried to activate the service
"To find your PIN perform one of the following actions:
* In the BlackBerry device options or settings, click Status.
* Look for the PIN and IMEI information on the outside of the box that your BlackBerry device or BlackBerry-enabled device came in.
* Turn the BlackBerry device off and remove the battery. Look for the sticker on the BlackBerry device with the PIN information where the battery is usually located."
Nice tutorial, patcat007. On my TP2 with a 6.5 ROM my BB Connect work. Anyway, when I change the AKU to .1.6.3, something happens with graphics in my dialer like in the picture attached. Anyone could help to correct this? Thank's!
