Hi Guys,
My office have just provided me with a HTC TYTN, so I am selling my Universal (M5000 branded).
It is unlocked.

Tested with TomTom version 3 - how did you get that to install on a WM2005 device?? - Mike
TomTom 3 installs fine on the device.
If memory serves, the problem was with the Windows side of the installer. It didn't like the newer ActiveSync that WM5 required.
The solution was to launch the installer. Find the CAB files that the installer extracted and copy them manually to the device. There is alot of guides around the internet on how to do this.
Once I had done this once, I (as I still do) keep a copy of all the software I install on my device on the SD card. So I can reinstall all the software and my certificate from the SD Card, without needing a PC. In fact, I cannot remember the last time i connected to Windows with a WM device!
Forgot to say.
I also think there was a problem with no-sound, but there was an updated DLL floating around the internet that corrected the problem, although I don't think that it was official.

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.
I have a O2 XDA II mini s and Tomtom Naviagator 5 software. I am using a Tomtom BT GPS Reciver.
When I try installing the software I get the Windows Error Box.
Can anyone give me a straight forward solution to this problem, I have trawled through just about every forum I can find to no avail.
Its driving me nuts please help!
The solution is simple really.
tomtom 5.00 is apparently not compatable with wm5... well it is just not off the CD.
You have a choise either you direct to the cd "pocket pc" and copy the zip/cab files over to your phone and install it from your phone. Then you install maps onto your hard disk and copy them to a storage point.
OR
d/l tomtom 5.** about .20 currently, install that then you will still have to copy the voice from the voice directory on the CD tp the storage on your phone and will still have to do the same with the maps.
if you want you b.t. gps to work I found to copy the gps cab file and install from the phone.
it all works very well even 5.00 but like I said you cant install from the CD.
its a pain, hope this helps
Ive Tried copying the following cab files
D:\tomtom\nveur\pocketpc\gps.zip
D:\tomtom\nveur\pocketpc\PIMMAddin.zip
D:\tomtom\nveur\pocketpc\ttn.zip
D:\tomtom\nveur\pocketpc\wizard.zip
Ive installed them on my phone but i cant find the application to launch Tomtom.
Ive also tired download the update and installing the cab files, i have the same problem with that.
Am i missing anything?
Im thinking of getting ALK CO-Pilot has anyone had any problem installing it to a Wizard.
just remove it and try d/l 5.21 off the tt website.
install it from your PC not as cab.
Also you may need to install your today cab, but this is not a normal thing. also you may have to send off for a new activation code if you used tt5 on another phone.
good luck and you will have the same problem with co-pilot as it also designed for wm2003/se so stick with tomtom.
look in the jamin section there is a post i put in about solving this problem
Hi all,
Having a spot of trouble trying to install anything onto my MDA Vario, I generally search for WM5 software/games and everytime I try to install I get this message.
XXXXX is not a valid pocket PC application
Any clues?
Thanks
Sounds like your installing an exe that needs to be installed via pc using activesync. You can download activesync from the M$ website. The latest version is 4.2 as far as i know.
If you are downloading exe files, try opening them on the pc first. Most of the exe files are installation files that need to be executed from the computer. Some, very few, are actually compiled executables that only have to be copied to the PPC and run from there.
You will also come across CAB files. These files are my preference because you just copy them to the PPC and execute it there, and it installs the files right on the PPC.
Had a problem running activesync, it used to loop my pc when I attached the device. Since then I reinstalled XP Pro OS and reinstalled activesync (probably old version conflicting)
It now works a treat and loads up all my software!
Many thanks
As my MDA (HTC Wizard) stopped working (looking for a new phone to replace it--perhaps the IPAQ 910), in the meantime I've gone back to my prior phone, the Audiovox SMT-5600, which is the HTC Typhoon, running WM 2003 Smartphone. I'm on the T-Mobile (USA) network.
So, until I get a new phone, I'm trying to configure my Typhoon to work better for me
The SMT-5600 comes with the Tao Intent JVM. I was able to install the new Opera Mini with it. However, I'm not able to do with it any of the hacks I've read about here--like making a shortcut to go right to OM (without the Java screen first), and to eliminate the screen asking permission to connect to the internet. (I guess most of those hacks are for JBED.)
Also, I cannot install either the Gmail app, or the Google Maps (Java version) with the TAO JVM. When I go to the m.google.com site, and download the gmaps.jad, i end up getting an error message from Tao, about not being able to install it. (OT-I also tried installing the WM version of Google Maps, and that wouldn't install on the SMT-5600 either. Perhaps it is only for WM5 and later.)
Anyhow, I am wondering if any alternative JVMs (to the TAO) exist, that will work on this phone? (Menneisys, are you reading?) I tried a few JBED versions downloaded from this site, and haven't yet found one that will install on the Typhoon.
I do have the IBM J9 installed, from years ago, when I originally used the phone. But I have not been able to get it to work successfully. (I have it installed to storage card, and don't know if that is a problem. It is large though, and no room to install in internal memory.)
Anyhow, any JBED versions that will work on this phone (with WM2003), or any that would work better than the TAO?
hi everyone...I have a Fujitsu Siemens Pocket LOOX N100 that runs on wm5.I wonder if somebody knows a way to get it into service mode because I want to replace the GPS software that comes with the unit, not only because the maps are way out of date, but because the don't have a map for my country. I would like to install iGo because I have it on another GPS and I love it...
Thanks in advance...
Loox N100 does not run WM 5.1 but WinCE 5.0
To access the device you need to enable ActiveSync und the device.
I join two CAB files in order to enable or disable ActiveSync.
Just rename the file you need to MN6-update.cab and put in root of miniSD card (save original one first) and reset device.
After that you can access the device via ActiveSync and install whichever software you like.
If you want to enable ActiveSync and start on a clean desktop you should use the CAB file attached.
In there you have
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init]
"Launch50"="explorer.exe"

first of all I want to thank you Sabo, I'm really looking forward to get back from my trip and test those cabs...
but first let me see if I got it wright:
1.the loox_n100_enable...zip are the files to enable/disable the activesync, but would I have access to the WM menus??I ask this because the N100 starts in a kiosk mode
2.the MN6_update.cab - is going to start the N100 in explorer mode not kiosk??
I have a Loox n110 running TT6 and I got all my hacking info from here . It's a very long thread going back 3 years but it has everything you need to know. I installed the iLooks desktop starting off with the Active Sync cab trick as mentioned to access WinCe.
Hope you find it useful.
hi..thank you very much guys for all the help...until now I wanted to sell the n100 but now I'm again very happyyyy, I can barelly wait to start experimenting...
Forgot to mention that with a Mini SD to Micro SD adapter I can run a 16gb memory card on it so you can really load it up - no wifi though.

Don't sell this fine piece of hardware.
Where els do you find a PND with removable battery which is this small and where you can disable static navigation in order to use it easily for geocaching or other things.

I can only see the first 4 GB of a microSDHC card.
Do you have a driver in order to see the rest of the card?

My mistake sorry although the system recognises the capacity of the 16gb card when I actually browse the folders not all files are showing. I forgot this as I don't use this card usually in the Loox.
It does recognise all files on my 8gb microSDHC card, however. My built in driver is "SDHC_SC2410.dll". I haven't installed any other drivers myself.
Mine is the Loox n110 with the built in flash drive of 2gb using driver "FLASHDRV.dll". Not that it would affect the reading of the SDHC memory.
Hope that answers your question.
Hello all, I know it is a very very old topic !
But I found in my father's place this old Loox N100 piece of tech and I was trying to do some stuff with it.
I managed to access Windows CE 5 thanks to those CAB file provided about this topic.
But then I can't install or modify anything.
Can someone help me to update the maps of the GPS or install a more recent one please?
I have been searching for hours on internet but I can't find how to do. I don't understand the use of ActiveSync neither. My PC is running on Windows 11.
I tried to copy some exe or cab file to the Mini SD card, but when I want to install them from the device, I have an error "xxx is not a valid windows CE setup file"
Anybody could help me achieve something with this old tech?
Thanks a lot and sorry for the old post.
BTW: Since I used the CAB file above, I always boot on Windows CE first and also the USB connection to the PC doesn't open the SD Card anymore. I tried to use the "disable activesync" CAB file above, but it continues to boot on Windows CE and USB connection still not work.
Anyone with knowledge of this old tech can help me figure out a few things ?
At least how to revert it back to normal haha
Thanks
