Changing ModelID

I need to change the ModelID reported when using ActiveSync. I have an application that I know will work on my 8525, but won't install because it doesn't recognize "HERM100". I'd like to have the ModelID reported as the Wizard (I think it's WIZA100).
Thanks!

Bumping this message...

You can change easy.
In your ppc go to:
Start-settings-info-user ID
Change the name of your device.
But notice:
I realiced that if I sync with 2 PC (with Activsync 4.1) after a hardreset, install back a backup, force AS to use the device name that I want:
my acticsync got messed up. (double contacts, appointments)
So if you sync with 2 pc I recommend to let AS choose the ID name of your device after you make a hardreset.

Rename Device Name?

Hey folks. I am trying to rename my device (I have some software tied to the deivce ID), but everytime I connect to my desktop via activesync, the device is getting renamed.
How can I stop that?

Did you delete the Activesync partnership on your PC before connecting the re-named device? I find that usually works.

Yes, i did.
I loaded AS on the desktop, "File" -> "Delete Mobile Device".
Then, I goto the tytn (unplugged from the pc) and rename it using Start -> settings -> system -> about ->device ID and clicked "ok".
then, I re-connect the tytn (via cable).
ActiveSync then connects, but uses the OLD device name (It does go thru the setup portion - what to sync, etc.) but still on the old name.

Did you soft reset after changing the device name?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes, I did.

If you remove active sync (program) from both your PC & also delete all sync settings on your PPC, then you wil be able to reset your "name" to whatever you desire.

Look in Local_Machine/ident

Blackberry Connect with wm6.1

Hey
i have a problem. Blackberry Connect doesn´t work on my Lalle Specialedition ROM (WM6.1 ). .... but why ?

Hi,
I use Blackberry Connect 4.0.0.97 and works fine.
Steps.
1) Softreset (to clean memory).
2) Open Registry Editor to change:HKLM\System\Versions Aku set to .0.4.2
3) Put this Device name: Settings->System->About->HTC_3450
4) Softreset to apply changes correctly.
5) Download and install :

6) The installation makes a softreset and then a wizard configure your terminal.

Hey ...it works, but i have another problem,
there´s a Error Message "The limit for saving messages in the device has been reached. You have to be stored messages to the service ..." and in the messagesmenu is 4 x system
System

ode 402: Cannot communicate with device fix

Since the day I bought my iPaq 614 I wanted to update it to the newest version, but every time the HP RUU would return a "Code 402: can not communicate with device". I've searched for hours to fix this problem only to find out tips like 'disable your firewall and A/V' and 'don't use Vista'. But today I found the solution:
Normally, Active Sync acts as a DHCP server for your Windows Mobile device, but this doesn't work if Windows Mobile isn't running which is the case when you're flashing a new ROM. In this case, the Internet Connection Sharing service should deal with assigning the right addresses, but since I normally don't use ICS, I had this service disabled.
Because of this, no addresses where assigned and no communication path could be set up between my computer and my iPaq. Simply be re-enabling this service (and the dhcp client service, don't know if you really need it, but I enabled it just to be sure) I fixed the annoying code 402 error
Hope this information is helpful because it looks like I'm the first one to discover this solution
//edit: damn, can a mod change add a 'C' to this post's title

i got a code 402 while updating RUU_1.8.0_081208_MP_M089_WWE (radio fm 0.89) now i am stuck withthe HP blue screen.

If your 614c dies during radio update, please have a look here.

solved !!!
Found post on HP forum.
OKâ ¦unfortunately previous note wasnâ t so accurate.
Iâ ve tried this solution once again and it doesn't work properly.
Iâ ve spend much time reading many articules on pocket/mobile forums and I found 2 workaround methods to upgrade our iPAQs.
Starting from the beginning.
We have to download ROM from HP Support site (in *.exe format) and executed it to unpack all files (as Iâ ve already written in C:/iPAQ ).
Among many files that we have, find FLASH.NBF file and edit it using HEX-editor (i.e. xvi32). When we display the context of a file, we have to delete first 3432 bytes (in xvi32 editor - XVIscript > Editorâ ¦ > type command DEL 3432 and press Execute â then close the editor without saving and then save file on HDD as FLASH.DIO). When we create FLASH.DIO file we have to decide which method weâ ll use.
1. METHOD is:
Just copy FLASH.DIO file on empty microSD card. Put inside of our device and turn it on in SDLoader mode (VOICE UP + OK + RESET). Important thing is to fully charge the battery of the device.
2. METHOD is:
We change the type of FLASH.DIO to FLASH.nb0 â just rename.
We have to search network for DNW app and execute it. Firstly in Configuration tab select Option and change connection type from 0xc000000 to 0x3000000 (USB). Secondly turn on our device in DOWNLOAD IMAGE mode (VOICE DOWN + OK + RESET) and connect it to PC. In SEC folder (subfolder of DNW) we can find drivers that we have to install after connecting iPAQ. When weâ ve covered everything, we select USB Port > UBOOT > and select our FLASH.nb0 file.
For me worked first method!

[Q] Automatic connect to GPRS after hard reset

Hi All!
After a hard reset (WM 6.1 prof) I've imported a GPRS connection via a registry file.
It is working fine after the first manual connection, but does not connect automatic, right after a soft reset.
Once again:
Hard reset -> import .reg -> soft reset -> go to "Manage existing connections" -> it is connecting.
But I need a connection without user interaction. So I'd like to create a small console application (WM 6.1, CF2.0, C#, VS2008) which connects to "My connection" (for example):
Hard reset -> import .reg -> soft reset -> My liitle application -> it is connecting.
I've tried the followings:
1. make a webrequest - does'nt work
2. run iexplore.exe with an URL - does'nt work
3. registry hacking (diff before an after connecting) - doesn't work
(Anyway 1 and 2 works after I connect first and then disconnect.)
Sorry, if there's a trivial solution and about my english.
Best regards
KL
