Trouble with unsigned files and Qtek 9100

I have a swedish Qtek 9100. I had trouble installing some applications but then I used the SetSecurity.exe so now I can install the applications without the security prompt. But some of the applications I install can not be started without an error message.
For example, I bought Xbar 3 and when I press the battery symbole I get this error message.
"The file power could not be opened. It is probably not signed with a trusted certificate, or otherwise some of the components could not be found. Yoy might have to reinstall the application or restore this file"
The message is roughly translated from swedish.
I get this error message with other applications as well. How can I get past this error so I can use my applications? I have tested with Default_Cert_SPCS.CAB but with no luck.
Would be very happy for a solution of this.

I have this problem too!
Did you ever solve it please?
ps I get this particularly on hyperlinks...I don't have the app you quote and I get it on an O2 Exec (HTC Universal)

Check to see if the shortcut is correctly pointing to the source-file.

Unfortunately, nothing can be done to these error messages. They have nothing to do with he security mechanisms - so, switching off security won't help. These apps are just not compatible with WM5.

No I found a way to make them work. I sign the exe files with a certificate I found named TestCert_Privileged.cer.
Then I just install the cert on the Qtek 9100 and then all my applications is working!

Please post a link to TestCert_Privileged.cer or at least tell people where they can get it pls?

I don´t remember where I found it so I attaches the files here instead. Unpack them and run sign.bat <filename> to sign the exe file with the cert. And copy the cer file to the phone and open it to install it. Then you can copy the signed exe file to your phone and the application will start.

Cheers

I hope it will work for you, all my apps that got that annoying error message are now working after the signing procedure

Help with 8525 please!!

I have a brand new out of the box 8525 and am having problems with it already. Every zip file download I've done, I get this pop up box stating the file could not be found in the central directory, and a cab in a zip don't open because the zip file was not properly signed. What the hell is all this??!! I'm new to the 8525, switched from 8125. I've never had the latter message as long as I had the 8125. I did a hard reset, and the same thing happens. I was successful in downloading PHM Registry Editor by zip, but the only one. Has anyone else dealt with issues like this?

Well, the unsigned cabs is a security issue. You need to turn off that security to allow unsigned cabs. Try a tweaker like HTCustom or HTweakC. Regarding ZIPs, computers are usually pretty binary - they either work all the time or never (all else being equal). This leads me to question the integrity of the ZIP files you had troubles wth since one worked. Did you try opening any of the ones that failed on a PC? Anyway, good luck.

Me too
I have also encountered this same problem. Most recently, I attempted to unzip an iSilo zip file on the pda because I wasn't around my desktop and got the central directory error. The exact same iSilo zip file was successfully opened on my desktop computer later that day. I have tried several other zip files from major companies and all of them get the same error.

I don't have a PC so I have to rely on direct downloads. I did not have this problem with the 8125. I found out today that the mfg. did a program change for Zlp on the 8525 to where 3rd party apps need to fix which I think is stupid as hell! All this time I was thinking the 8525 was the KING of pocket PCs..It's the Jester instead, & it's going back to AT&T tomorrow. Luckily I still have the 8125. I'll put up with its slowness.81252.25.11.1

Why not just install a different zip program?

HTC Home 2.0

Found Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.814.722-schen.cab in the Hermes forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...hlight=Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.814.722-schen.cab
Versin 2.0 allows you to add a diffrent number to favorite People (1.5 defaults to the mobile thus you need to create a new contact to use the Office number.).
Well that is the good news, the bad is that I cant get it to work on my BA
It installs well.
Under Start - Settings -Today - Items - It adds a HTC Home Tab.
The tick boxes work fine (fast as well JOKE).
And on the Today screen it adds Nothing.
I have done a old uninstall, new install, wait, softreset, wait.
This is a patched version based on the thread so may be the clean version would work.
So has anybody got Version 2.o to work on a BA ??

That's v 2.0.720719.
2.0.814.722 is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327646

SOME PICTURES PLEASE!!

I didn't try it and MDAIIIUser said isn't working on BA....yet

It looks the same as 1.5 with aditional options, but i can't get it to work either, i install needed certificates but still nothing

2.0.xxx.xxx work much better than v 1.5....thrust me.
Are you able to get v2.0.7xx.xxx to work?
You can see that v 2.0.8xx.xxx and v 2.0.7xx.xxx and v1.5.xxx.xxx all using DIFFERENT certificate to sign. That is my experimenting on the certificates thing. All work OK with my Hermes. Maybe it is certificate thing...maybe it is other matter that prevent the new version from working correctly for BA. But really I DONT see any reason other than certificate. You can try to sign the dll with other certificates to see if it work or not.
I only patch the dll to enable instalation outsite of windows directory and to fix the brightness shortcut. Other than that nothing. So, this should not be the issue
Congratulation guys WM6 finally arrived for BA and Hima user. I should have hold my thrustworthy Hima longer I dont have to upgrade, BUT Hermes ROCKS, no regret.

Thanks schen for your input, i have tryed al the 2.0.x versions with the same certificates (looked mainly into hermes forums) provided for hermes, but the home settings show in today options and the plugin just does not load. I agree that this is certificate error i will try to sign them with difrend certificates to see what will happen
regards xplode
Edit: I have tryed both 2.0 versions on clean hard resseted rom with both certificates installed and none ot them does not work for some reason, now i will try to sign the dll's with sdk certificate to see the results

Anyone have any luck with Home 2.0 on BA?

Same problem with HTC Plus.
I think the problem is certificate sign.

Just to let you know that this issues is just not with your devices, we are also seeing the same problems with the Apache running Helmi's port of WM6. It shows in settings, but nothing on Today screen. Have tried certs and signing as well.
However, both 2.x versions work fine with the Titan running WM6. My thought was that there were some remnants from the WM6 port that were still using WM5.

maybe you are right, because i signed all files with one certificate and then with another ans it is the same result

If you guys have install the sdkcerts.cab before installing home then I dont think it is certs problem...it is more like device specific security setting problem
Maybe you guys can take a look at the WM5 security...each of the ROM might have different default setting. Some device even dont allow security setting to be change.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/wmsecurity.asp
I will also try copying the SampleDevPrevCert.pfx to the device and click on it. It will add the root cert to the thrusted certificate store. It may work it may not but very simple and worth a try.
Bottom line, if you try the "No Security" setting which allow all signed or unsigned apps to pass and the HTC Home still not working then I dont have any idea anymore.

Please try....
Out of curiosity why v2 of HTC home working on certain device and rom and not working on others, I have resigned all the dll, exe, and mui files with my own certificate.
Installation note in the Readme file inside the zip.
I am looking for some people to try if the cab work. As soon as 2-3 report still not working I will delete the attachment.

Test it, i couldn't install at all; "installation of ... was unsuccessful"; thanks anyway Schen.

Now installing, will keep you posted in few minutes
the instalation of the cab is unsuccessful (the home cab)

I tried 3-4 times, but always installation of HTC Home cab was unsucessfull

Hi Schen,
Thanks for your help with this issue. I can confirm DANDANA's results on my Apache (Helmi's WM6 AKU .7) with no prior version of HTC Home installed. Your cert cab installs OK but the Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.814.722.Resigned-schen.cab fails to install.
I believe this is due to the mui files (from my own experience in trying to unsign/resign them I think the certificate table gets corrupted somehow).
I sent you a PM earlier, but would it be possible to obtain a copy of all of the original HTC Home 2.0.814.722 PE files (prior to any hex editing & re-signing)? Helmi would like to take a look at it since it seems to be an issue with his WM6 ROMs (also affects his AKU .42 release for APAC).
Thanks again!

i have removed flags in cab for the self registering and shared for WmpPluginToday.dll and now it installs but it still does not work

Yes....I forgot to remove the self registering of the plugin, that is the cause of installation unsuccessfull....Earlier I tested this on my hermes manually coying the files and it work OK.
I have remove the cab. AT least I am convince by now it is not the certs thing.
Luv...got your PM...I will have to look for the original HTCHome.dll if I still have it. As I said before....the hack I did was just to change the default directory (\windows) to (\HTCHome) for the graphics AND change it to call HTCUti1.dll instead of HTCUtill.dll...They are unicode hex editing only. You could hex edit and change "\HTCHome" back to "\Windows" and "HTCUti1" back to "HTCUtill", resign it and everything is back to original. The mui files came unsign. I have to sign the mui files to get it to work for hermes.
In the mean time....the main difference between v 1.5 and v 2.0 is the "PROFILE" Tab...Try to install, disable the "Profile", reset if necessary to see if it work. The attached cab only enable the Home tab by default...if it work, you can enable all other tabs one by oneto see which tab is causing the problem.

Backing up Outlook/Exchange Certificates

Hello all. I am going to update my ROM, but have a quick question. My work email and calendar sync to my Mogul. Originally my works IT department had to install a certificate so I could sync. When I install the new ROM, I am betting this certificate will go away.
Is there anyway to backup the Certificates so I can reinstall them myself? I am not supposed to be on the exchange server per some stupid/outdated company policy but had a friend put me in there. I would like to not have to go back to IT as I don’t want to get anyone in trouble.
Thanks for the help.

I've exported HKCU\Comm\Security\SystemCertificates\.... into a cabfile and use this one after every new rom i'm flashing
and it's working very well.
If you export into reg-file and edit this file with an hex-editor you'll find your exchange certificate for sure. and under HKCU\Software\microsoft\ActiveSync you can find your Exchange settings (servername etc). after flashing a new rom the only thing i have to do is to enter my password and that's it....if you're unsure, you could try to import into an wince emulator and test if it's working the way you want....

Problem with Exchange
I have been having challenges around Exchange. I am receiving emails and calendar correctly through the push.
When I reply to cal and emails. Multiple copies are being sent, sometimes up to 7.
Any ideas? Using 6.0 rom from FallingAngel, dcd first new rom. Have not tried 6.1 yet

you could use dotfred's taskmanager for example (for PPC) or CERegeditor (for Windows Desktop) to export or import the registryentries.
Both tools are for free. Another solution could be SASHIMI which can also import registry files. Or you could create your own Mortscript, both are also for free.
if your ROM is supporting UC there is also a section for exchange (somewhere in the thread)
If you want to create a cab, WinCECabManager is easy, but not free.

HI Peter,
I tried exporting those reg keys out and after flashing my rom I managed to reimport them.
When I checked the certificates in Settings, they seem to be there. Checked Activesync settings, it is also there, however, when tried to sync, got this error
"The Microsoft Exchange Server requires a personal certificate to log on. Please obtain a certificate as directed by your corporation or service provider"
There was no option to key in password.
I had to re-enroll for a certificate going through my PC's WMDevice Center before able to sync with my Exchange server again.
So ... wonder whether I am still missing something that prevents me from restoring the certificates completely. Are there any physical certificate files that I need to back up as well ?
cheers

Bumpdibump, the same with me - although this is regarding a transfer from Rose to Polaris - this is the best post I have found so far...
Any luck on some specific files we need to copy in addition to the registry?

so i assume that the .cer used for the exchange server is no longer on the phone?

I don't quite remember what happened, but for my part - not sure if the cer file was there, but it didn't help much anyway since whatever cer file I tried to validate with didn't work. I am looking into a different thread using rapiconfig to get the details from my phone, but I guess it ain't enough to only get the info from registry to get the darn thing to work.
Stuck...

The file 'IntShrUI' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with

Ok found ICSinstall.cab on here and installed it, soft reset, and attempted to install the latest version of the WMWifiRouter program (which I finally succeeded in sourcing!).
However I get a message telling me cryptically that it 'cannot be installed' after attempting install. I wonder if this is related to ICS...
I now have the InShrUI.exe file in /windows/ *but* attempting to run it gives:
'The file 'IntShrUI' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of it's components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file.'
I reinstalled it over itself (i.e. ran the cab again) same error.
:-/
Was this the right file? I seem to remember it was dated 11th January 2008??
Thanks again for hte help folks!
I should say I'm running Microsoft Windows Mobile Version 5.0 (OS5.1.195 (build 14955.2.3.0).
Lastly I should say I've started a new topic as the last one was getting a bit off topic my original concern having been answered :-D (thanks guys!)

probably you only opened a shortcut (*.ink) and the shortcut pointed to a not existing file. Another thing is that it also was intsalled correctly (the *.exe), but the dll's or whatever are not installed.
Regards

Thanks. I'll try redownloading and repeating.
I was wondering if the file needed signed with some unique private key or something?
Anyways will give it a shot and report back

Thanks for your suggestion I'm now a tiny bit further on.
On soft resetting the PPC I get the following error:
'Pocket PC Networking
Unable to obtain a server assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network settings.'
InShrUI is still giving the same error as before (and it's definately the .exe file I'm clicking).
However the improvement is: This time WMWifiRouter succeeded in installing...
However the same PPC networking error occurred during the install. I could probably tweak whatever is causing that error to use a static IP address rather than DHCP probably...but it's kind of dodging the problem.
And as said before I can't launch IntShrUI without getting that error. This time there is a shortcut to it though in program files.
I should also say that neither the executable or the shortcut has an Icon Image (i.e. it's the default no icon blank) so I suppose it might be the .exe file that's corrupt (since the shortcut get's it's icon from there I think?).
Last but not least:
WMWifiRouter reads:
Code:
'Not Connected'
Waiting for connection
I suspect the problem must lie with InShrUI but then again I'm a noob so I'll wait for the XDA gods to come and share their wisdom!

Is there no1 who can answer this? Anyone got any ideas?
Device is a hermes (T-mobile Vario-II) running WM5.....
There's one MAN point up for grabs for whoever can solve it!

I tried installing WMWifiRouter 0.89 onto a ROM which didn't have ICS included (which meant I had to try the same route you did) onto my Vario 2... I just couldn't get it to work, and I spent a while trying to make it work too.
I'm figuring that there's some deep-seated DLL or system association which ICS needs, which isn't configured if ICS is stripped out of the ROM - I ended up just reflashing with another ROM (the T-Mobile WM6.0 official ROM) and ICS and WMWifiRouter works fine.
Sorry that's not a solution, but it's the only way I could get it to work. Not an expert ROM cooker, so my knowledge of how ICS is stripped / included in ROMs is fairly limited, though I understand the concepts and techniques.

Thanks for your help Christopher.
I considered flashing a working ROM. My worry is about losing all the programs I have installed on the device (it took a long time to get it *this* customised ;-) ) is there any way to flash the new ROM while keeping the old registry entries etc. for registering my programs (Especially those I've bought such as Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine - which I cannot register anymore)? ...
Or could I somehow back up the registry and restore it later (I know that's likely to be a dangerous idea...perhaps simply the file associations and programs stuff -the windows mobile section?)
Thanks bro!

Bumping as no replies for ages
Anyone?

Bumping again as no replies for a week or so

Bumping again to ask if anyone knows a way of slving this without having to reinstall all my programs, re register them, and reconfigure everything? (which I suspect installing a different ROM will do?) is it possible to back up the registry entries for all of my programs then do the ROM upgrade and restore the registry entries from my other programsMost of my programs are installed on the microSD card anyway (i didn't want to use up the main memory and slow the device up).??
If so how?
Thanks again folks !

I have the same problem...
I cant seem to find the answer but will continue to try.

if your programs are installed on your memory card then chances are you should be able to past shortcuts into the programs directory after reflashing. I tend to do this BUT I have found some programs that need to be re-installed or re-registered. Backing up registries can cause SERIOUS problems in itself so I would 1st do a full backup of your system (try spb backup, it backs up EVERYTHING on the phone then re-installs the lot so it seems like you never had a problem..) then flash. Try putting on shortcuts and if you have no luck you have the choice to start again on the new os or reflash to old and then restore backup (old problems wil still be there). Hope this helps.
Ps. I use resco explorer instead of the crap file explorer on the phone. It allows MUCH more versatility to do as I want. Cheers....
