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

Looking for Windows Live and Messenger

Is that an unexpired version of windows live and messenger I can install on my WM5 MDA? I only found one over on the Hermes forum, WindowsLive.PPC_ARM_NonBETA_NoDate.zip, but the post said it will only work for Hermes. Not sure if that's true or not.
Thanks.

So I was able to find a copy of Windows Live. The problem is when I install it, and try to do a search from the today plugin I get the following message.
The file "search URL" cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or on of it's components cannot be found. You might need ot reinstall or restore this file.
It's the same error message I get with MSN.
Has T-Mo done something in their ROM with their customizations. I know before installing customizations I can use MSN. It's very strange...

There's an RGU file in t-mob's rom that has some settings in it. I personally cook mine into the ROM and put the settings in the .rgu file in OEMMISC. I'm not sure what they are though.

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.

QuickGPS On Vogue

Hello everyone I decided to Start a new Thread for all the people who want to try to have QuickGPS (offline AGPS) working on the Vogue.
I've read and read and read about the Quickgps not working and found out two things.
1 If you get an certificate error you are downloading a wrong or bad cab file.
2 If you get a connection fail error it is not a connection error, because it does download the xtra.bin file to the temp folder.
Question is: What is QuickGPS supposed to do after it downloads the xtra.bin
file to the temp folder?
If I manually move it to the windows folder it shows on the Qgps main screen but it doesnt show the days remaining so I think something else has/needs to be done besides of just copying/moving the file to the windows directory.

Has anyone gotten QuickGPS to work on their Vogue? (using Verizon XV6900)

I had it working only once but it had to been with either the leaked or stock VZW ROM. I found a file in another thread a while with a patch version. Now this will not even work.

found the thread over at PPC Geeks.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=29959

Did anyone get this to work?

QuickGPS doesn't work on my Verizon XV6900
I get an error "the file 'quickGPS' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found..."

you need to install sdkcerts.cab first

SOLVED:::How to digitally sign a cab with a trusted certificate

hi
Im basically developing this titanium modification, it's already finalized and ready for cab'ing....ive tryed CE Cab manager, quikcab and they both succesfully build the cab perfect but when i go to install it i get the "installation has been unsuccesful because it is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate".....so how do I "sign" a cab?...ive installed sdcerts, ive tryed editing the xml/INF files and still no luck..ive tryed googled, looked thru the forums, n nothing....any ideas? ive attached the cab too
THNX!

usually it's sufficient to install sdkcerts followed by soft reset. however the original certificates expired on 31/12/09 so you need to make sure your sdkcerts contains the new certificates from 2010. I personally don't know about an updated sdkcerts and I installed the new certificates manually. they are available from microsoft. developers.windowsphone.com I think. and make sure to first remove ALL of the old ones, otherwise it won't work.

Download the new certificates here: http://htcpedia.com/news/new-certificates-out-for-windows-mobile-developers.html

Is there a cab with these updated certificates anywhere?

well i signed the two files that needed to be signed so you should be good to go on the install...also here is the signer program to do so in the future...

I have msigner with the updated certificates. The problem I am running into is in getting the certificates on my phone. I have tried to install manually, I have tried to delete and reinstall. But when I move a signed file to my phone it is not recognized. The sdkcerts file appears to have the certificates that expired 12/31/2009.
I have searched high and low, asked just about everywhere and cannot find a cab for the new certificates.

Double thanks, this works.

Doesn't one need a package called no cert also ?

Not sure what "no cert" is. unsigner works on most files. I have found a couple of dll's off of my Imagio that are not affected by unsigner though.
