Can't write to Windows or save Registry Changes - Mogul, XV6800 General

Hi All,
I'm trying to make some registry changes on the Mogul and when I save the changes all is ok until I soft boot and then they go back to their default values. How can I prevent this?
I am also trying to save a file in the \Windows directory and it's giving me an access is denied message, how do I unlock this directory?
Thanks,
X2K

Which registry editor are you using?
Try using Resco explorer and registry editor pluggin:
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/
I hope it helps.

I'm using PHM Regedit

Which registry key(s) are you trying to edit? Some keys don't get saved or get reset no matter what upon reboot.

Try this:
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.

Great tip, even after a year since you posted it . Couldn't get rid of the default t-mobile -MDA Vario III aka kaiser- settings (PIE homepage e.g.), but you helped me out on this one

Hello all. I have tried to make the registry change (In [HKLM\System\ObjectStore] "RegistryType=1") to "RegistryType=0" mentioned above. That worked fine but I still can't save a change I'm trying to make. I bought MS Voice Command and was told to change the [HKLM\Software\OEM\Voicecommand path to \Program Files\MS Voice Command\voicecmd.exe. I can't seem to save the change. I have used several different registry editors including PHM, Resco and CeRegEditor. The displayed path (\Windows\SDDialer.exe) will not update. I'm using a Verizon XV6800 with WM 6.1 and the Verizon MR-1 update. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

intellipad is no longer there? registry key required

was playing with the registry editor and must of changed an option some days back... and now i have no intellipad option for INPUT!
anybody out there know where this line exist?
bump!
someone know the keys to enable or disable
the keyboards/ intellidailer xpad etc etc?

Destroying the registry so a given functionality dies, is not the same as enabling/disabling. I doubt these programs have simple on/off switches in the registry, so instead I suggest you reinstall them.
Set a browser such as the Resco Explorer to show files in ROM, then locate and execute the file loadvdisk.exe in the Windows folder. This will give you access to the Extended_ROM folder, located in root. From there you can reinstall what you want. Names of the files you will need are selfexplanatory, the rest you can find a description on here on forum, by using the search function.

Change T-Mobile Dialer skin

I have a T-Mobile Vario that have a dialer T-Mobile skin. Can I change this skin to default WM5 dialer (blue)?
Thanks
Yep I want to do this as well the T mobile dialer skin is well poo realy had no probs on my XDA II
Try searching 'dialer skin' in search.
Thats how I found WM5 dialer skin for my JAM.
Good luck 8)
Tried that with No luck
1. Using a registry editor - edit the following registry entry: 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin'.
2. The 'Enabled' DWORD value can be '1' for the T-Mobile skin or '0' for the default WM5 skin. You will probably find a '1' in your t-mobile device and '0' if you have an I-Mate or QTEK
3. Change the value of the above so that that you get: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled = 0'
4. Soft Reset and you should see the defaul WM5 dialer.
5. In the background of the dialer you will probably see a small faded T-Mobile logo. If this irritates you - you can get rid of it too by:
6. Download the following file:
http://members.home.nl/pieterstroink/GoT_startpost/K-JAM/carrierlogo.gif
carrierlogo.gif (right click, save as)
7. Do not change the name of the file, it must remain carrierlogo(.gif)
8. Find the original carrierlogo.gif file on your MDA Vario - it should be in the windows directory. Overwrite this file with the file that you have just downloaded.
9. Soft reset
10 Done
T-Mobile dialer OUT
Thanks Lisa... work!
Thanks for this...

Smartdialler??
Hello,
Now, I haven't SmartDialer/interllidialer!!!
I don't know if was after this change or after delete Extended_ROM2 files; but I have .CAB files and not any smartdialer CAB (only smart dialer enabler)!
Can somebody help? Or send this CAB file?
Thanks
The blank carrier logo worked, but the DWORD value still keeps resetting itself to "1" again after a soft reset...
What am I doing wrong?
[EDIT] Oh well..... somehow the phonepad changed and when I look up my registry the value now is (and stays) at "0".
Don't ask me how or what.... but it's fine now. :wink:
Last question: does anyone know how to erase/change the T-Mobile boot screen (when you do a soft reset)?
THNX.
SmartDialer
Well... it is true... if change registry value 1 to 0 put WM5 skin, but SmartDialer don't work.
If change again 0 to 1 smartdialer work (and dialer too) but with T-Mobile skin... that is not beauty!
Somebody know how put Dialer and SmartDialer WM5 skins at T-Mobile Vario?
Thanks

Can't overwrite carrierlogo.gif
I can change to dialer skin fine with the registry key, but I can't overwrite the T-mobile carrierlogo.gif - it is always write-protected. How can I make it stop being read-only, so I don't get 'access denied' when attempting rename/delete?
Maybe put phone at Flight mode that off communications...
hi lisa just looking at your post. how do you edit the registry. or how do you get to the hkey menu
many thanks
Well I tried changing the value DWORD value from 1 to 0 but I just get a access denied message, any help?
anyone??????

I had the same problem when copying files from the PC to the phone so I copied them in a temporary folder on the phone and then used the total commander (free) on the phone to move/copy files to the desired destination. There is a warning message of overwriting, but it worked for me
good luck
I use PHM Regedit to set KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled = 0'. I had the same problem with Enabled =0 changing back to 1. what I did was to backup the registry before doing a soft reset.
Changing the carrierlogo.gif, if you use Total Commander or GSFinder go to options and make sure the Rom files are hidden otherwise you are trying to overwrite carrierlogo.gif in the Rom.
Removing TMO phone skin is easy:
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enable=1
Remove DIALER a PROGRESS entries under the Skin entry.
But if you modify these entries in some registry app, after soft reset they will be back, so best way is do it during instalation phase. I've created a few cabs for:
enable phone skin
disbale phone skin
remove skin registry entries and changing smart dialer skin to blue.
Changing Phone pad to qtek's one.
If would some want i can attach them here or upload them to the ftp.

Strange registry thing

Hi there,
I'm curious to know if anyone else has encountered this. I'm trying to delete a certain key from the registry (the WLan key). I am doing it by way of a C++ program (using the VORegistry classes, highly recommended). I am able to delete the Subkeys from the main WLan key, but when I try to delete the WLan key I am unable to. Iam able to manually delete this key via way of a registry editor, but it seems to be prevented by way of an exe? Is the deletion of some keys in some way blocked or prohibited?
Thanks for any insights.
Best Regards,
Dav
Hi dav!
If you can delete it via registry editor, it can't be locked. (after all reg. editor is just another exe).
I am not familiar with the VORegistry class, but have you tried simply using the win32 API?
There is a simple function RegDeleteKey. You should look up API's beginning with Reg on MSDN for complete description of this and other registry functions.
Good luck!

How do I create a file to update the registry?

Can someone please advise of the steps I need to go through to create a file that I can run to update three registry key entries?
I need to reset these keys regularly and using Regedit each time is a pain.
I assume that I can create somesort of PPC batchfile that I can run under WM6 to make the changes each time I run it....
What's the best way of going about this?

Export the keys after you have changed them to a .reg file (in total commander this is accomplished by going to the key and copying it to a dir on the phone or storage card)....save the .reg's to a dir and click on them when you want to update the registry...you need to be using dotfred's task manager and have .reg files associated for that to work.
Brilliant. Thanks famewolf.....

How can i see the registry files

i need to access the registry to change some string values
You need a registry editor.
I use http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/index.php?lang=en which is free.
Load on your pc and it uses ActiveSync to connect.
Remember to use its tool "unlock registry" to allow changes.
Also backup your registry with this editor before changes !

What rom you using. Most roms have a registry editor already included. Check your programs list.
You can find most cabs here
