I get this when trying to use the "c" option to install a splash screen, also when I try the "s" option to restore a backup splash screen, and when I use the "splash_bmp_to_wizard.exe" (i think it just uses awizard anyway, so no surprise there). Does anyone know the solution or have the same problem?
It worked just fine on my stock 8125, this is only since the ROM 2.17 upgrade.
Please check it out, Later; Lew

Lew:
Same thing happend to me. It is, as of now, locked. The lokiwiz and aWizard do not work with the new rom like the old ones.
I was able to change my screen using
ruu_forcedalias_splash_245
Run this and you will have new WM5 GSM splash. I have not tested to set if I can change to my splsh now.
The ruu_forcedalias_splash_245 had a.nbf file for the splash. I wonder if it is possible to change a .bmp file to a .nbf file. If so, one could make whatever splash loader they wanted.

Thanx for the reply and the program. So it changes the splash screen to something generic? It does not allow you to choose what the new image will be? You say that it uses ".nbf", I have a converter that will change a ".bmp" to ".nb" can you see if it works with that? I would but I am at work, plus I wouldent like a generic Splash screen, I suppose I would stick with the QTEK if those were my choces.
Do you have a picture of the generic splash screen?
Heres the converter, of course you have to be logged in =)

Thanks, that saved the day! As things were, I was too embarrassed to reboot in public. I mean, who'd like to be seen holding a sign saying "I MATE FOR BUSINESS, FOR PLEASURE, FOR LIFE"? Besides, mating "for business" is illegal where I live.
Mike.

LOL
Funniest post I have ever read on this forum, and the award goes to...
mpd
Take a bow!
still chuckling; Lew
p.s. I am working on changing the generic image, as we speak. I havent even tested this ".exe" but I assume by mpds enthusiasm it works. So now I am just trying to change the picture it uses. Any help is always welcome.

Alright I have come to know that the "ruu_forcedalias_splash_245_425.exe" is packaged so I was able to extract the files inside;
EnterBootLoader.exe
RUUGetInfo.exe
RUUResource.dll
ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe
nk.nbf
This looks vary familar to me (anyone who changed the ROM or Radio on a Blue Angel would recognize this )
So the splash image (generic) would be in the nk.nbf.
I need to know how to extract the .nbf to see what is in there, and what can come out so I can find out what type of image I need to make and what to convert it to... so long story short (to late)...
I need to know how to extract an .NBF file.
Thanx; Lew

Lew, please tell me your working on replacing all the splash screens including the very first one when you start up your wizard. I am in a desperate need of replacing the initial image of HTC on my Cingular 8125. How do I replace this ?

Can anyone post a screenshot of the generic bootscreen? I would like to get rid of my ugly T-Mobile ( what designer thought it was so cool for pink, white, light & dark grey ) Splash Screen.
Best regards.

Is there anyone here that could crack this would be "encryption" on the .nbf in question? I tried encoding my splash backup from aWizard using the project file from the "decoded" nk.nbf from "ruu_forcedalias_splash_245_425.exe" and it was a no go. It said that my storage was the wrong size for this ROM update (or something to the effect of NO). So it looks as if this nk.nbf from "ruu_forcedalias_splash_245_425.exe" is the key to unlocking the ability to change splash screens to custom images.
DrBig74 where did you get "ruu_forcedalias_splash_245_425.exe" from? Maybe someone that made it will have the answer we need eh?
Later; Lew

Below is the Windows Mobile Splash screen. Those of us not using QTEK, it is a nice change.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/HTC_Wizard/Splash_Screens/WMGSMSplash.bmp
I believe that I found "ruu_forcedalias_splash_245_425.exe" on the WIKI ftp server. I cannot remember. I did post a message to find this person. My attempts to make a .nbf file out of a splash screen have failed. With previous roms, one was able to run wizsplash and/or aWizard and change the 2nd splash screen with no problem. Oh, well.
Also, good luck changing the 1st HTC splash screen. At this point it cannot be done. Maybe some genius will figure this out soon.
Best,
DrBig74

Ok, good news, thanx to BrightMoonHeart I have been able to extract the BMP from the NBF using "typhoonnbftool_04.exe". The bad news is so far I can't seem to add an image (bmp) to the nbf or remove the current image. So this was a great step forward, just need a little help to get r done. I tried "typho2.exe" but I couldn't get it to do anything except give me the same info "typhoonnbftool_04.exe", It says it can extract the ".NBF" to an ".SPL" and that may allow us to edit it but I was not able to get it to convert. Any ideas guys? Always appreciated
Thanx; Lew

I have mixed feelings over the default Windows Mobile splash now that it is installed over the Qtek logo. However I have run across this... any ideas? have you seen this?
http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/xdaii-update-format.html

Hello ,
Have an idea?
look , good or bad track ? Partial ROM flashing
http://arisme.free.fr/TyphoonNBFTools/index.php
The remote client is necessary if you want to downgrade a ROM update having a bootloader version greater than 2.00
thanks

Bad track... NBF Tools use the same technique as aWizard, which was disabled by HTC in the AKU2 models.

[Solved] Blackberry Connect Hacking

Hi folks,
I did some kind of research regarding the problem that some of us are facing when it comes to new rom versions and the Blackberry Connect software.
I found a few things out, including a way to enable debug logging for BBC on the PPC.
Now I'm stuck and need some help of people who have crypto-skills or know something about pseudo number generators.
If you are interested in my current findings, please take a look at the following posts:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1110712&postcount=123
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1137145&postcount=125
The first one describes how to enable debug logging, and the second one shows what I have found out so far...
Cheers
EDIT: If you are interested on how this is done, please read post number 3, and after that read post number 64 and 152.
EDIT2: Depending on your device there might be a way to get BBC Version 4 running see post #302

Manipulate GetVersionEx call?
I found out that the Blackberry Connect Client uses standard GetVersionEx function to query the OS Version and build information of the device it is running on. So instead of analyzing how the pseudo random version generator works, maybe there is a way to build some kind of wrapper around it that intercepts the GetVersionEx call and provides manipulated version strings to the BBC...just an idea...

Got it...
OK folks, I've got it done. BBC is finally working in WM6 on my Universal...
I was able to prove my theory about the pseudo random os version string. If you have the right string, BBC will work with every ROM.
Here are the steps you need to do in order to get it working (shown on the example of WM6 (J.Wright's last ROM 2.01.08 and BBC 2.1.2.31):
1. Use the famous HTC64 Extended ROM Tool to decode the .nbf from the above ROM
2. Open the resulting .fat (or .nba) file with your favorite HEX-Editor
3. Search the follwing hex value (there will be two locations for this, you have to edit both of them)
4F 3F A0 E3 02 30 83 E3 45 2F A0 E3 05 10 A0 E3 02
4. Change it to:
C3 30 A0 E3 02 30 83 E3 45 2F A0 E3 05 10 A0 E3 01
5. Save the changes to your .fat (or .nba) file
6. Use the famous HTC64 Extended ROM Tool again to encode the file back to a .nbf file (ignore the warning about to big .fat file)
7. Flash the .nbf to your device
8. After flashing use a registry editor and go to the following key:
HKLM\System\Versions and edit the Aku string from .0.0.0 to .2.0.0
9. Reboot and install the blackberry connect client
10. From here on do the same steps that nessecary on a normal BBC install
11. You're done..it should work now
The above hex-magic patches the coredll.dll from OS Version 5.2.318 to 5.1.195. In combination with BBC Version 2.1.2.31 this will result in a pseudo random os version string that is allowed to connect to the blackberry network.
Have fun!
Cheers

Hi and many thanks for this work! It's the only reason I haven't moved accross to wm6 yet.
Can you tell me which version of wm6 you edited the .nbf file of? or should it work with all versions? I tried it on JWrightMCPS's version 2.01.06WWE version but it didn't work.
Many thanks.
Sham

it's 2.01.08 like I wrote in the my last post ;-)
you can do it with every rom if you know the right hex-string to look for. I will write detailed instructions on monday or tuesday. In general this trick will work for every device and every os version including all the aku 3.x roms for all devices.

network parameters to surf internet
cOrnholio:
it works great after several hours and softreset. VERY GOOD JOB.
Going ahead with details. When BB is connected and you surf internet, BB is disconnected and is difficult to put it again to work, do you have some idea?
Other question: I think BB service offers the capability to surf internet by their services, do you know how to do it in the APN parameters?

AFAIK your provider has to enable this feature in order to use it. After it has been unlocked in your service plan you should be able to use it. I think the APN is pushed to your device by the network, or if you have bb enterprise it will be pushed by the blackberyy desktop client.

Great work Cornholio! One thing though, is that radio version seems to matter in experiments thus far.. do you think you can do some tests to see if the pseudo number changes if your radio version changes?
Is the "core" version basically WM5 (5.1.195) as opposed to WM6 (5.2.318)
This would imply that most people can just use the BB version you used (2.1.2.31), any WM5 AKU 2.x rom, and simply change the AKU string back to 2.0 and all will be well.. no need to hex edit if all you want is WM5 with an updated/stable rom...

Hi,
The radio version is not involved in the generation of the pseudo random os string. I've just only tested the BBC client on WM6 with radio 1.13. It should run on 1.14 also.
Well, the OS version 5.1.195 is the version string that is reported by the original AKU 2.0 update from T-Mobile. The only requirement in this hole thing is to find a combination of versions that are allowed to run. For example the hermes has an aku version of 3.3 and a matching BBC version of 2.1.2.52 (as far as I've read int the hermes forum). This combination is allowed to connect to the network. So if you edit the coredll.dll to the same OS-Version string of the hermes aku3.3 one and use the 2.1.2.52 bbc client it should also work.
So to answer your question (if I understood you right), yes, as long as the os version is 5.1.195, the blackberry client 2.1.2.31 should run if you set the aku string back to .2.0.0
But AFAIK each AKU higher that AKU2 (which is 5.1.195 on universal) has a different os version string hardcoded in the coredll.dll.

Noob questions about my T-Mobile Wing

Ok, first off, I just want to let EVERYONE know that I'm VERY new to the WM6 platform, having purchased a T-Mobile Wing, just recently. The phone was locked when I got it, but I used a sim-unlock service to unlock it. I've been working on Motorola phones for years now, so I'm not a total stranger to flashing, too. I've already successfully changed my slider tones and added a NES emulator to my Wing(which was all pretty basic, really), but now I'd like to start flashing some ROMS, particularly Touch-IT. My question: By flashing a new ROM to the phone, will it RE-lock the phone?

I want to install a program, but dont know how to use .cab's
Its really easy.
1. Connect your computer to your device via USB
2. Explore your phones memory, and copy a downloaded .cab from the internet to your phone
3. RUN the .cab from your phone through the File Explorer
4. Whatever setup it is, it should complete, and it will delete the .cab afterwards to save space.
I want to backup my device:
Active Sync will back up your contacts, calendar, emails, notes, files and program data.
In addition, you can use PIMBackup for your Call Logs, Messages, Speed Dials, etc. and either Spb Backup or Sprite Backup for a full system backup (i.e. you won't have to reinstall all your apps as long as you restore to the same ROM you backed up from).
What are the different reset functions?
Soft reset - hit small circular reset button by volume slider(on wing) or bottom of phone (on Herald)
Hard reset - Press and hold both softkeys and press the soft reset button, continue to hold the softkeys til a prompt is brought up asking if you're sure you want to format. Press the call button to comfirm.
Enter bootloader - Press and hold the camera key, then press the soft reset button. Hold the camera button until the bootloader menu shows it. You will see 3 different gradient colors.

I want to install touchflo, but I need more instructions:
Here are my steps I used to install touchflo:
1. Download which version of Touch IT you want. For the Last version made, here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340403
2. Backup any information you wouldn't want to lose. Either backup to memory card or PC; your choice
3. At this point, You need to install the official RUU for your device, if you're already running the official RUU, then you need to hard reset your device. (Press and hold both soft keys and press reset button, continue to hold softkeys til screen displays to hard reset. Press the call button to continue). If you need to install the official RUU, continue to step 3a4Here is a list of uploaded RUUs
3a. Enter bootloader on your phone (Hold camera button and press reset, continue holding camera until a screen with 3 gradient colors shows up
3b. Connect your computer via USB to your ppc (Pocket PC)
3c. Run the RUU .exe from your hard drive, follow its simple onscreen instructions and click check boxes necessary to continue with the installation. This should take a few minutes, and you will more then likely see your screen flash and change things, this is normal, let it work. After a few minutes it will boot up and go into "automatic customization of your device", I continued this (screen alignment, tips, auto setup), and waited for my device to be totally ready for me to use.
4. Connect your device via USB to the PC and wait for activesync. If it automatically pulls up a profile for your phones sync, delete that profile. If it asks again to setup device for syncing items, click cancel. You will still be able to explore your phone and install devices without setting up the sync profile for your phone.
5. Make sure your phone is connected as a guest, if it is not, make sure it is. The method I used to do this was this zip file I ran "guest only" registration entry. (Make sure and run allow partnership registration after completing installation), but it should display as guest after the hard reset.
6. Copy aserg policies.cab to your mobile device
7. Run aserg policies.cab from your device
8. Soft reset (use stylus for button on side of wing, or on bottom of herald)
9. Go into your comm manager on your phone, and disable "phone". Basically enter flight mode so nothing can be sent to your phone during this process.
10. Once booted, its time to give it a shot. Make sure you're still connected as guest, and run !Upgrade_rom.bat from Touch_it folder on your PC
11. This will bring up a command prompt waiting for you to hit a key to begin, press any key
12. During this time it is installing, NEVER touch your phone or play with it in any matter. It may look as though the command prompt has gotten hung up at times, but leave it run until it completes (or fails). your phone will pop up a message saying "unknown status" or the likes, but dont close that window, like I said just leave it alone.
13. If you have no error messages in the command dialogue box then you're ready to hard reset your phone. (press both softkeys, and press reset, continue holding softkeys til you see a dialogue asking if its okay to restore settings, hit the call button to finish it)
14. Your device SHOULD boot normally, go through setup, and you should be golden.
If at any time there is an error during install, but you still let it complete, you might have a chance at it working. Hard reset it after completion (even with errors) just to see if it works. If it wont go past your Tmobile or HTC picture screen on bootup, then you have bricked your device. To UNbrick it, run steps 3a through 3c and reinstall the RUU.
If you get any errors, try and try again. Its proven working on several devices.

I want to sync my outlook contacts, but activesync doesnt work!
I have found a workaround for this.
1. set up a windows live account (if you havnt already)
2. at the windows live homepage, import your contacts from outlook to your Live account
3. set up email via your Wing, on step 4 it will allow you to sync with Hotmail and Live
4. contacts should sync
This is a "quick fix" to the real problem not being able to sync. Using this method will store them all on your SIM, and make it Lastname, Firstname (annoying to me)

yes i was stock, now i have the touchflo 2.3 with 6mb pool and over clocked 250 mhz and a few registry edits. i want to upgrade to the 4.4 version that they have out but not in no rush.....

Ok. Now I'm kind of confused. I've gotten to step 6, but when I unRAR the ASerg Policies, there are 2 files found within: _setup.xml and POLICIES.000. I move those files onto my Wing and them view them via my file explorer, within the phone. They look exactly like that, 2 files, not a .cab. So, I'm not sure WHAT I'm doing wrong here, but I'm doing something. Anyone?

are you sure theyre not a cab?
the .000 files are usually in cbs oh and the _setup.xml too.
you might want to save instead of opening when you download it

The ASerg Policies were in the TouchIT v2.3 folder, RAR'd. When I UnRAR them, all they are is the 2 files. Like I said, I know I'm doing something noobishly wrong, I'm just not sure what it is, LOL!!!

Monday bump!!!

Stop using tyler's kit ... its almost a year old... and outdated, as well as an outdated method of flashing.

HAHAHA!!! Holy noob!!! Soooooooo, Instead of UnRARing the ASerg Policies Archive, I just drug it onto the phone and the .cab worked! LOL! Brilliant. I'm going through the process, right now, to see if I can get TF to install, without bricking my Wing. Thanks for all of the help!!!

So far, so good! TF is up and running!!! For some reason, the cube feature doesn't seem to work, though. Any reason for this?

Anyone have problems using activesync? This is my third ROM install, each ROM being from a different developer... and activesync is still doing the same exact things to every single one.
To put a new ROM on I have to put the original T-mobile ROM back on, where activesync does work, then I repeat the new ROM install process. Still activesync refuses to work.
The grey circle turns green and when I click on activesync... It says connecting but eventually it will come up with the error and I can either press ok or troubleshoot. Basically the short error says no mobile device found.
Any help is appreciated thanks.

Reinstalling AS4.5 took care of my problems. It didn't work to repair the program. I uninstalled and did a clean reinstall....no problem now.

Soft De-Brand Procedure

Soft De-Branding of Toshiba TG01
===================================================================
Required:
- Windows desktop based Registry Editor such as CERegEdit
- Replacement Welcome and Shutdown screen image files (below)
Optional:
- Windows Mobile File Explorer such as Resco Explorer 2010
- Microsoft .net Framework 3.5 View attachment NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab
- Microsoft .net Config Tool View attachment netcfcfg.cab
Additional OPTIONAL Step
- ROM Reflash as described in this thread
- this ONLY results in removal of the Orange splash screen; the rest of the process described below is still needed.
- This also introduces a significantly greater level of risk and should be avoided unless you know what you are doing and take full responsibilty for any unintended consequences.
- Please read thoroughly ! Especially the caveats posted by @cedesmith as author of the TGTool.
====================================================================
Part 1 - Carry out Hard Reset (Master Clear)
Either:
1.1 Power off; Press Power button while at the same time press and hold Camera AND Volume Up. When green light comes on / vibrates, release Power. Then follow on screen prompts to execute HR.
OR:
1.2 Go Start|Settings|System then tap Master Clear. Enter code '1234' to confirm.
1.3 Allow device to initiate cold boot. White TOSHIBA appears on black background, followed by Orange Windows screen and message
"Tap the screen to set up.... " DO NOT TAP !
====================================================================
Part 2 - Remove unwanted .cab Files prior to startup
Start CeRegEdit (NB. if you are running Vista / Win 7 you will need to be logged in as an Administrator)
- Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Toshiba\AutoCabInstall
- DELETE all Values in this section that you do not want to retain.
- If you have a licenced copy of Core Player, will also wish to remove this so you can install the later version now available separately.
====================================================================
WARNING:
- From here on you are making significant Registry changes; however if things don't end up working as desired, this IS fully recoverable, BUT will entail doing a fresh Hard Reset.
- If you are not happy with these detailed edits, suggest skip to Step 4.
- All changes CAN also be made by individually editing the multitude of Settings (eg. Network, email, etc.) directly on the TG01.
Part 3 - Clean up Registry
DELETE Complete Keys:- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook\Orange Internet
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook\Orange MMS

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Ident:Name
Replace 'TG01' with 'TG01_Debrand'
====================================================================
Part 4 - Boot into Windows
NOW you can tap the screen and proceed to the usual Align Screen stage.
HINT - when carrying out screen alignment, make your taps very precise and GENTLE. This will maximise both pointing accuracy AND sensitivity.
====================================================================
Part 5 - Remove unwanted Shortcuts from Start Menu
Open your TG01 in Windows or File Explorer:
- Go to ..\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
DELETE Orange Maps.lnk (NB. if in File Explorer on the mobile you won't be able to see the .lnk extension)
(You can also remove shortcuts to any other built-in apps which you don't want, eg. calculator, if replacing with a more swept-up version)
====================================================================
Part 6 - Replace Orange Welcome and Shutdown screens with generic Windows ones:
- Copy the following two files FIRST to your device or uSD Card; then across to ..\Windows directory.
- Ignore the warning messages about overwriting.
- NB. This will NOT work using either Copy|Paste from the desktop via AS/WMDC OR the built-in File Explorer.
- It WILL work if you install a suitable 3rd party file explorer such as Resco Explorer 2010. This also incorporates a very useful on-board Registry Editor and is highly recommended.

,
====================================================================
Part 7 - Add a Soft Power Off Shortcut (exactly the same function as the hardware button)
- Unzip and copy the following shortcut (.lnk file) to ..\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
View attachment PowerOffHint.zip
====================================================================
Part 8 - Test the shortcut by going Start | Power Off (Icon with Red circle and White cross).
- Press the hardware Power button to reboot
- On reboot, you should be greeted by the Windows start screen and as fully soft de-branded a device as is currently possible.
====================================================================
Part 9 - Supplementary improvements:
Add Microsoft .net Mobile Framework 3.5 and .net Config Manager
- Install View attachment NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab
- Install View attachment netcfcfg.cab
Then open .Net Configuration (Icon in Start Menu) and check you have:
.Net Compact Framework versions installed:
3.5.7283.0
2.0.7045.0 (ROM)
Go to Device Policy tab and select 'Run unconfigured applications with the following'
3.5.7283 and then tap 'Apply'; Close
====================================================================
Part 10 - Strongly Recommended:
Install a suitable on-device File Explorer / Registry Editor (eg. Resco Explorer 2010)
Install a suitable Backup app (eg. Sprite Backup, Resco Backup or SPB Backup)
Now make a 'Master' Backup so you can easily get back to a 'clean' build after your next Hard Reset without having to repeat the above process !
Edit: Experience has shown that while a Master Backup is still really good for certain aspects (eg. all your own Operator Settings which WILL get restored to the Registry following an HR, unfortunately because the above process also deletes lots of Keys/Values, these will stay in place post-HR. Basically restoring the Master Backup will overwrite any values, but it doesn't delete anything.
====================================================================
Acknowledgements:
- To all the various sources across XDA and other Forums - Thank You for a vast mine of information which I have tapped into to pull together here along with my own researches.
Request:
- I have tested the above procedures on a TG01, both to create the information and then walk through and follow it...
- There are however almost certain to be some 'bugs' which will be encountered, also depending on individuals' configurations, ISPs, etc.
- So, it will be greatly appreciated if you find a bug to please PM me with the details and I will then update this post accordingly.

When i open up ceregedit it doesnt detect my tg01 so i cant get into the reg files. Is there something special i need to do to get ceregedit to detect my phone - im connected via usb.

Thank you very much for the information, it is very detailed explanation indeed, good job!!!

many thanks Kevin!
only one question left - at the end you suggest to make a master backup so that we can later restore the phone with the above settings...how to make a back up?
great thread!

nice post shame i dont have my tg01 anymore would have loved to have got rid of orange branding

Kevin,
this is a brilliant how-too
& i thought i was 'brutal' with last bedrand... you've taken way more off than i even knew was there...
i just swapped to o2 PAYG & these settings (even without a hard reset) really helped strip out the orange (perhaps they should rename to brown) MMS / internet etc
FYI (to the board ~ kevin'll know this already)
a LOT of these settings can be removed without a hard reset, but it would be better to start from a fresh install if possible
but (if like me) you already did the auto cab install remove, then you can still delete the settings mentioned above.
Thanks again Kevin.
This just leaves the orange boot up screen... i'm getting no where with that... like people have said.. needs a unlocked ROM methinks... can't even find the file on the phone

if on vista/win7 - you must run ceregedit as a administrator
the phone must have made a active sync connection with windows (NOT just show up in win explorer) or ceregedit wont detect it.

You're welcome I've edited links to each of the 3 principle Backup solutions own websites into the first post. I'd say they are broadly similar, but each tend to have their own enthusiasts. Suggest a quick trawl on XDA and other forums for feedback and then 'try before you buy' where a trial version is available to check out.

I don't think the Orange boot screen is on the phone - I think is hard coded in the ROM and written into the equivalent of the Bootstrap Flash chip on a PC - so is the same as the Asus or whoever's logo splash screen you get when you start up your desktop (assuming POST isn't set to display).

Thanks, Kevin, for your work: nice post, very clear & instructive...
Although I thought it will remove the ''funny" stripes(aka toshiba menu) too... Is it possible?Which way?
What are they reffering to:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Toshiba\CommSetupath 32
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Toshiba\CommSetupath 33
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Toshiba\CommSetupath 35
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Toshiba\CommSetupath 36
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Toshiba\CommSetupath 37
NB. Do NOT delete Path Path 31 and Path 34
because I didn't delete those.
Thx again!

These are two different things. The Keys you identified above relate to the Root Certificates. I've shown in more detail in the attached picture:
View attachment 298079
We are deleting all the Orange specific Certificates which I don't think will now be required but keeping the two generic ones marked in red.
The Toshiba Stripes menu system is controlled from the Registry but a different part - this wasn't included in the above process, but it will be possible to disable in a similar manner. The configuration of each Stripe is included in a set of Keys here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Toshiba\RegistrySettings\MainMenu
There may be other Keys which also contain references, but I havn't searched for those as yet. In the meantime, the Toshiba Stripes UI can simply be 'switched off' by deselecting in the Today Settings just like the Windows Titanium UI.

Please see Post#12 above - it appears hard coded in the ROM NAND and so far we are unable to find any way of replacing - until such time as there is a viable independent ROM which a number of dedicated people are working hard to achieve.

Nice detailed instruction.
Thanks a lot.
My question is:
Since I used already this metod from your post #71 , would I be able to do "master clear"
and start it all ower again.
Thanks again.

There is nothing to stop you doing a Hard Reset (Master Clear) and starting the whole process from square one. However if you have already part set up your device, you can do most of the changes retrospectively as well, but you probably won't end up with as thorough a 'spring clean'.
The ideal is to start with a HR, go through step by step until happy and then make a Master Backup so that when you do a future HR you can quickly get right back to a known clean state.
If you have already installed various Apps, worthwhile saving the Settings for those (many have a built-in function) as again will make it easy to restore their configuration 'just so' following a clean reinstall.
Hope that helps ....

Thanks.
I'i do it all over.

wceload.exe
Kevin
I found on a Russian site another debranding procedure:
they recommend after HR, when the calibration screen appears, to connect to PC and place in Windows directory using Active sync an emply file called wceload.exe
they claim that none of the operator autocabs will be installed this way.
I am a complete beginner in WM but I would appreciate your opinion on this procedure, even theoretical
many thanks

** REPAIR FAQ ** Merry Christmas and happy time sync!! (Update 24th Dec. 2010)

UPDATE v. 1.3.0.1 BETA (24th December 2010)
Sorry for the long time, but here is my current work which still needs some support.
What was done?
1. Fixed aprox. 90 Timezone entries within windows.
2. Problem is that the rilphone.dll ignores (!) NITZ. There might be an option within the registry but it seems that this option will be ignored. Damn...
3. Workaround is done and within the CAB file
LIMITATIONS:
I guess there are now all global valid timezones within this cab file and I hope there is no need to say that not every time zone is tested by my self.
The cell tower time sync works only after a cold reboot OR once a time if you activate the airplane mode or disable the SIM card. After enable the device for normal phone status you need to cold reboot the device because the registry value for the time sync will be set during the reboot and DEACTIVATED by the device after applying the current time.
If you want to prevent the cold reboot and force the cell tower time syncronisation you can also go to "SETTINGS - PHONE - GMS/GPRS - TimeSyncronization" disable this and hit O.K. Stay on and now enable this option again and you will have also a cell tower time syncronization. For automaticaly you need to reboot the device again.
Until someone has written a little tool for watching the registry we need to live with this limitation. But i guess this is not a huge limitation.
HOW TO USE:
HTC_TimeZone_Patch.cab is self explaining. Just download it, install it and enjoy it. If you have a previous version of my patch installed this will overwrite the existing settings. If u use this cab file reset the device after installation and when it's up you need to reboot it a secound time.
Problem is also if you are traveling around and you switch from 3G to EDGE or GPRS this time sync value will be also overwritten.
If you are using this patch with the current LEO DST Patch (LOL) this doesn't matters. I don't know what the hell the have written into this files but my patch is not causing troubels to this.
This patch is device independend. If you are using a other device than the HD2 (LEO) wich has also the time sync issue it should also work. Would be great to get some feedback about this.
UsedFiles.zip is the complete collection what I have used to get this patch running. If you want to build it into your ROM or you want to see what will happens on your device use it.
SourceCode.zip here I would need some help from someone other. Inside this file are 2 souce code files (CPP and VB) which should solve the RegistryChange Notification API. I just want to have that the RegKey [HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\DisableTimeSync] will be monitored. But after 12 years using the last time an compiler I have currently no clue how to solve this. If someone has experiance within C++ or VB.NET this should be not a big issue because both files are good templates.
Would be great if someone of you can check this files and write the EXE for this. Thanks in advance.

please can you help me
hi i did install the patch and the time is 2 hours minus than the real time i'm on +2 greece... if i uninstal the patch the time goes +1 hour every time i make a reboot .... can you help me fix this ?? the patch that you made is very good but is not for my time zone . i have the problem from the provider i think cuz without the sim it works ok the time . i try to take out the automatic sync from settings but after reboot is cliked again. please if you can help me send me an email on [email protected]

Post me the content of this registry keys and which country you are living:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Clock
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Time
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Time
TIP:
It might be also a solution if you delete the value within HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Time
There you will find only ONE value which will rebuilded after knocking on the time server. Just delete this key and give it a reboot.
Thanks!

If you are able to do a factory reset do it, check the registry for this:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Clock]
"HomeDST"=dword:00000000
"AppInfo"=hex:\
01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,6E,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00 ,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\

"AutoDST"=dword:00000001
"NetworkTimeSync"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
TimeZone=-
Make sure that [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Clock] has no more keys in addition. Reboot. Check the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Clock]
again and there MUST be an additional key named "HomeDST"=dword:00000000
Leave the settings within HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Time as is is.
The TimeZone key within [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila] is only available if you do a power on after factory reset when you have SIM PIN enabled. Would be great if you can disable PIN for the very first reboot.
1. Disable PIN for the SIM
2. Factory reset
3. Go ahed with the setup like always, just basics and i.e. remove the camera icon from the home Menue. Just to make sure that the device writes something to the registry into your user profile.
4. Reboot
5. Change registry only within [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Clock]
6. Reboot
7. Be patient and check the time
Can you confirm?
Independed if it's working or not, please send me the Registry of your Device with the four keys within the 1st posting.
It would be a great thing if you are using CeRegistry Editor and you are able to send me a complete backup of the complete registry which should be round about 2MB.
Thanks!

i erased all of this but still the same problem...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Time
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Time
the first patch was working ok but it was not the acurate time.... i dont know what to do ... i'm thinking to instal a custom cooked rom for my hd2 t-mobile... this will be the last resort .
again thank you for taking interesst in this problem .

Ok. This thing becomes more and more crazy! *lol*
After 4 or 5 times patching the registry it's not longer possible to patch successfully the registry. I don't know if this problem is related to my device or if this is a problem to my Registry Editor. My device is doing some strange things... Just wait until the end of this storry!!
So, let's start from scratch - and I guess I have a final solution:
1. Flash the device from scratch
2. Just DELETE (!) the followed registry entries:
REMOVE THIS KEY AND EVERYTHING INSIDE COMPLETE:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Time]
YOU CAN'T REMOVE THE NEXT KEY. JUST DELETE EVERY VALUE WITHIN THIS KEY! IF IT'S POSSIBLE DELETE THE "AppInfo" value ALSO!
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Clock]
"Home"
"HomeDST"
"SoundAlarmAlways"
"NetworkTimeNotifyUser"
"NetworkTimeSync"
IF IT'S EXIST - DELETE IT:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"TimeZone"="-60"
Now, when everything is done, my device is switching to 13:05 GMT +1, September the 29th. The GMT+1 is related to the value of [HKLM\Time] because TimeZoneInformation is telling W. Europe Standart Time GMT +1. If you have a different time zone this date is relatet to your value.
Anyway - it's great!!!!!! From my point of view, this is a sign that there will be a "time reset" on the device.
Just do a reboot, be patient and after round about 1 or 2 Minutes and your current Date is valid but time is wrong.
For me it will display Current time GMT +2.
Now go to: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Clock] REMOVE the HomeDST value which is "0" (zerro) and type "AutoDST" with value 1.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Clock]
"AutoDST"=dword:00000001
Disconnect cable and 5 or 10 seconds later you see the valid time. Do you think this is great??? NO!!!!
Now - let's do a second flash from scratch and tell me what you will see!
After flashing it the 2nd time I disconected the device and boot it up. I have done the default setup (...yes, yes, next, next, next - finish) and saw that my time was not valid to +1 hour. Weather update was running and - uhhhh???
Time AND Date was valid!!!!! Double checked the Registry entries and they are still the same as bevor. BUT even with or without SIM PIN the TimeZone value is not set.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"TimeZone"="-60"
No, nada, nothing. Niet!! I'm not able to get it...
I have done this now 2 more times and I have still the right time after flashing WITHOUT patching the registry or patching the device.
My device is now sleeping this night without the batterie because I want to see what will happens tomorrow morning after 7 hours without power when I plug it in. Nasty devices will be punished hard
Double check this and confirm this way please!!!

I plugged the batterie back and pressed VolumeUp + VolumeDown + PowerOn together for factory reset.
Device is booting and running within default setup. I was tracking the registry and the default time on the device is GMT - British Time [HKLM\Time\TimeZoneInformation] which is based on the firmware by default.
Start the setup with stupid next, skip, skip, ... finish!
It comes up with GMT british time but 5sec later I have had the right time & TimeZoneInformation within the device.
If someone is able to explain this that would be great!

UPDATE!
Check the first posting pls and don't try to do this with any other firmware. It will not work...
Currently there are a lot of questions why without any answer...

Now it's finaly working. No need for a reset, no need to flash, nothing to do.
Just use the CAB file and be happy!!!

Update!
Now you have also the right time after a restart!

Thanks a lot for your work!
I tried the cab and it seems to work
I have only one question...well that's more like a curiosity: I tried to re-enable both the auto sync option in the sense settings and in wm phone settings, and it doesn't work. In fact I have to keep the wm one disabled and use only the sense settings auto sync option enabled. Is this the normal behaviour? And, why nobody at microsoft or htc is thinking about the release of a fix while it is clear that it's a wm bug (and also a very annoying one)?
I know most probably you can't have an answer for my last question...
Again, Thank you very much!!

Sure! I can!
This issue is related to HTC and it's depend on the rilphone.dll...
Not sure if someone is interested about technical details. But if you are I can post this here
Thanks m8 for your feedback!

Dear MrT69 !
Thanks for diggin into this crap porduced by HTC, doing THEIR work and finding a solution as posted in the cabs.
Before I install I would have to know on WHICH ROM You are (1.66, 1.72 ?), which rilphone.dll and what exactly Your cabs 1.00 and/or 1.01 do.
From long experience in this forum I know: the better the infos BEFORE installing a mod the less trouble with freezes afterwards ...........
Thanks again for Your fabulous work !

Well, yes...if it doesn't take you too much time to explain what your cab does and some technical details it will be surely appreciated
My doubt is: rilphone.dll is a library i think...so why the auto update function works with the sense settings option and not when I check the windows mobile phone setting to synchronize with network time?
Thanks a lot!

I will remove the old version so there is now only one to use. If there are future updates for this please use only the CAB within the 1st posting.
