Hi Guys,
I have a remote control that I would like to extract the ROM from.
The remote is a NevoSL, it is a WinCE.net device. I have looked everywhere for info about doing this but haven't found anytools that work.
Right now it runs a stripped down O/S image. I have a full CE.net image to load to it but I want to make sure that I can restore it back if I run into a problem. I have the lastest upgrade image for the device however I can't get it to load with MS device emulator.
Thanks in advance.
Have you googled around? I imagine someone's already done it.
What connection options does it have?
V
I have googled and googled.
It's a USB connection. It also has Wi-Fi.
I have gotten it to stop loading the remote software and I can get into the directories, and run some programs on it. However I think it's missing a major chuck of the O/S. Almost every program I have installed will not run. I have got it to connect to my wireless network.
All I want to do is get a webrowser on it.
I have tried to install MiniMon but it will not run.
Best bet might be to download Platform SDK and compile a mini CE build. Grab Internet Explorer from there and see what that does.
What kind of errors do you get?
V
I thing I'm worried about is erasing the factory Nevo bootloader and not being able to restore the device back to it's orginal state. I really don't want to have a 900 dollar brick.
With Minimo I get a "Cannot find minimo_runner ( or one of it's componets) error. It's the same error with almost any software I have tried to run.
First of all, I had some minor problems getting Activesync to recognize my 8525. (XP, Net 2.0). After a couple of driver updates or whatever, it finally worked!
I tried flashing to a different ROM but had problems during the HardSPL procedure. I stopped it, but THEN had some problems trying to connect my 8525 to the PC!! (Activesync again, ugh!) I uninstalled & re-installed Activesync like 3 times, and FINALLY got it to work again!
Now I have problems installing .CAB files to my 8525. I keep on getting the warning:
"The program is from an unknown publisher. You should install it only...."
I press "YES" and it comes as "unsuccessful".
I press "NO" and I get the "... program cannot be installed because it is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate".
Besides having installation problems, I also noticed that Activesync keeps on disappearing/uninstalling from my PC. I have to install Activesync 4.5 every time I turn on the PC.
Can some one tell me what's going on? What should I do? Should I do a "HARD RESET"? (I have done a SOFT RESET but to no avail). I would appreciate some help. Thanks!
I found out that I shouldn't do a HARD RESET because it will erase the "unlocked" feature in my phone. (I bought the phone unlocked).
I have researched the wiki, and some threads, and ACTUALLY someone else had this problem, way back in 2006. (The .CAB problem). But no one responded.
I also had to uninstall a program I had previously installed in my 8525 due to the fact that it stopped responding. It just wouldn't work anymore. I got the same "unsigned certificate" message.
I guess I'm going to RE-INSTALL Activesync ALLL over again. Maybe it will help it or something...
(This is literally going to be like the 5th time I install Activesync. And I just got the 8525).
IF ANYBODY CAN HELP ME WITH THE .CAB PROBLEM I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.
(I'm running WM6 Pro, AT&T)
freakin piece of crap!
its STILL NOT WORKING!!!!!
It USED TO WORK! I used to be able to install .CAB files. I have only installed 2 .cab files into internal memory (NO external. dont have one yet). I installed Opera Mini, and Wifi Radar. I also installed a couple of themes. I also installed animated themes but deleted them since they wouldn't work. (I think they required some other stuff). I also deleted all the themes except for one.
THEN one day, i tried doing that HardSPL-V7, and I got to the last step but quit since I got an error telling me that if I continue the (usb?)device could stop working.
Another time I tried installing SPB Finance 2.8 .CAB and that's when I noticed it would no longer install .CAB files. (It also won't install directly using .exe)
I researched Google and the forums, and found out a guy that had the same problem (no one responded).
Today I noticed that Pocket Wifi Radar wouldn't run. It said something about the certificates. I uninstalled it, tried to install it again, but it wasn't successful.
So far this has been the history of my 8525. Could it be because the "certificates" were installed in the ORIGINAL computer profile? Since I have installed Activesync many times, I noticed every time it creates a new profile. For example, the first time it was called "Windows PC". Then it was called "Windows PC2". Just right now I installed it again, and it was going to be named "Windows PC3", but I changed the name to something else, and of course it still didn't work.
Could ANYBODY give me some tips as to what I should do? Thank you.
go to settings>connections>usb to pc. uncheck "enable advanced network functionality".
if it syncs a few times with no problems run unlocker tool found in upgrades section. then hard spl then if you feel game enough upgrade os with one of your choice.
Hope this helps... cheers
holy cow, relax guy. you are not the only person to ever get the not digitally signed message.

as for the hardspl problem, i responded to that thread you created, didnt you see?
Ok, I tried what you mentioned ultra, and I got this message upon connecting the 8525 to the PC. (BTW, this is the SAME message that appeared when I was attempting to install HardSPL-V7),
HTC USB Sync
has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatability with
Windows XP.
Continuing your installation of this software may impair or disabilize the correct operation of your system either immediately or in the future. Microsoft strongly recommends that you stop this installation now and contact the hardware vendor for software that has passed Windows Logo testing.
I pressed "Continue" and it installed HTC USB Sync. But then I got the a message telling me "Activesync 4.5 or greater needs to be installed" (even though it IS installed). I ran through the setup again, and it would only let me "repair" or "uninstall". I pressed "repair". Afterwards it asked me to "restart". I did. Then upon loading back up, I connected the 8525 to the PC again, and I got the SAME message again (the one about it not passing Windows Logo). This time I pressed "STOP" and then I got the message about HTC USB Sync not being installed in the computer.
I have been fed up with the problems the 8525 has been giving me. My Clie UX was so much easier to manage. Quick question, I am REALLY leaning on doing a HARD RESET, but I think/kinda know, that if I do, it will ERASE WM6 correct? And go back to WM5?
Oh and yes xtreme, I have searched this on the search bar. And yes, I know you replied back, but you were referring to the Hard SPL. I am having problems w/ installing .CAB files.

dont hit stop dude, u're suppose to hit continue. hitting stop prevents the drivers from being installed and then the RUU wont run
Well I did press "Continue" the first time and I did not see any improvements. I just saw that it installed "HTC USB Sync".
I AM able to successfully install Activesync, I just can't get .CAB files to install.
Could it be because I pressed "STOP" whenever I tried using HardSPL? Should I try and run HardSPL AGAIN and this time pressing "Continue"?
Oh, and are you sure I'm supposed to press "Continue"? After all, I do get that error about Microsoft strongly recommends that you stop this installation. It sounds fishy pressing "Continue".
I just installed Activesync ALLLL over again, but this time in the D:/ drive... still the same .CAB problem.
Oh, and I no longer have the problem where Activesync would uninstall by itself. I noticed it fixed itself yesterday.
BUT I'm still having problems installing .CAB files.
1). hard reset will reset it back to factory its true BUT, and like j-lo's this is a big but, it will re install the last os on the phone (wm6) NOT the stock rom...
2). are you installing the .cab files from the computer or copying them to the memory card and installing from there?
If you install the .cab from the memory card it seems to work fairly well (at least from my experience). if its in a .exe format then it runs from the computer and requires activesync. if you have the .cab file then my suggestion is try to run it from the memory card.. Cheers..
Try installing the SDK certificates and see if that helps
Finally Works!!!!! Hard Reset!
OK, so I've been up for about 3hrs straight trying to figure this out. Reinstalled/uninstalled activesync... tried installing HardSPL again (twice)... didn't work. So I was like, you know what...f* it. I'm going to do a Hard Reset. I'm just gonna try it.
IT WORKED!!!! AND IT STILL STAYED IN WM6!!!! And I think it's still unlocked (although I've read from threads that a HR will disable the unlocked feature).
I AM GLAAAAD THAT I CAN INSTALL FILES NOW!!!! YAY!! (hehe). THANKS TO THOSE WHO TRIED TO HELP!!! SERIOUSLY. It feels really bad when no one tries to help you, even though you don't have a CLUE as to what to do.
** I solemnly swear I will no longer try to use HardSPL or try flashing to a different ROM*. I will use the ROM that came with the phone, and be glad everything is WORKING **
*= at least for until a couple of more months
AND for those who are having this problem (and it's a lot of ppl, based from search results), try a HARD RESET. It helped me anyways.
"and like j-lo's this is a big but"
Glad it worked but I wouldnt allow one bad experiance to turn you off flashing... If I were you I'd still flash hard spl ( in case you find something that you really like). It DOES make it easier to fix "bricks". But just to satisfy your curiosity, go to bootloader and see if it says that you have 2.10 or 2.30 SPL. Also if you want to try flashing, try the sd card method. Its a heap safer (from my experience) than flashing by activesync. Check the wiki for how to do it.
PS. you dot need to reformat the sd card. if you have all the stuff you want on it then just copy the .nbh to the root of the sd card and rename to "hermimg.nbh", it will load as soon as the hermes is put into bootloader and you wont have to re-install anything. Works every time for me and I've done it about 30 or 40 times...Cheers......

i think his problem is that he can't install .cab files period. he's having the same problem as me. my first phone had that prob, i updated .net 2.0 and it was fine. got my second phone here, update .net to 3.5, but still can't transfer/execute ANY cab files to my phone. the pc just doesn't recognize the phone period. i can't copy/paste, can't push anything through onto my phone. it's crazy. so what else can we do? i'd like to think i'm pretty tech savvy, but this isn't cool LOL
Hello,
now I cannot execute a 'not signed' .exe from my diamond, because of the 'not signed' error message.
I tried to see the first steps of the android port on the diamond touch. I had to remove the battery to stop the application. Since, it's not possible for me to execute any non-signed application (total commander, putty, ...).
Did you find a clean solution? I prefer not to go through the steps of reinstalling a new firmware (windows isn't accessible on my computer & I have a rather old backup of my diamond's files).
I allready have a hardspl, because my orginal ROM is from SFR (french operator)... and I prefer the original HTC version which is more beautiful & more uptodate.

Trying the same thing for my Diamond after trying out Android on it.
Same problem here. Running android 1.0 got me into this trouble.
(Running android 0.8 multiple times did not cause this problem.)
Did anybody find a better solution than hard reset?
Re
Same problem here cant run .cab files after trying run Android 0.8.
Damn , dunno why i tried to run Android 0.8
Hello
I know I will be repeating, but i have read many things and they just do not get into my thick head
so let me start
i bought a Samsung Focus from ebay.in (cell-force.in)
i got the phone. it had initial software (i think pre nodo) installed. i connected it to Zune to my PC, it took some time but it installed the latest release, i.e. 7720
now, when i further explored i found that it is not possible to install apps other than marketplace, also the great well known wifi bug
now I need your help
could someone please help me, what should I do to solve this
I want my device to be able to install any application I want
I want to connect to wifi (if solution for that ssid but available after rooting/unlocking/jailbreaking my focus)
Also, if I do jailbreaking, and when any update is available, would I be able to update normally using Zune?
I read about chevron, but I think they do not support 7.5 (7720) yet
So pleaser held me
By the way, I have WinXP in my laptop, not Win7
Waiting for your help friends

you can if you have unlock (developer or Chevron) and access to the XAP files. as for the wifi bug, I'm not sure what you mean
now I need your help

possible, some you have to buy
I want to connect to wifi (if solution for that ssid but available after rooting/unlocking/jailbreaking my focus)
this should work regardless of where you are in the world. if you can't connect to a wifi then your phone's hardware might have an issue.
Also, if I do jailbreaking, and when any update is available, would I be able to update normally using Zune?
yes
I read about chevron, but I think they do not support 7.5 (7720) yet
no, it only supports OS ver. 7004/7008. You will need to downgrade to 7004 from a rom here, unlock with chevron and install several tools to keep the unlock.

Now, the long bits. I sent this to someone else, but posting it here so others can read. I'll build a newb how-to shortly.
First, you need to be on 7004/7008 OS version (check in settings/about).
If your version is greater than that (739x, 7720) then you need to downgrade to 700x
If your rom is greater than that then read my mini-guide here
Now, you need to unlock, so read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857127
It has a video tutorial, so it should be easy.
Once unlocked, immediately install Samsung Tools from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924497 and run them.
Make sure "prevent relock" is checked (actually everything should be checked) and reset.
Then, install WP7 Root Tools from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1265321
Now, you should be able to sideload.
When you've done all these, you could update to 739x (NoDo) but not all the way to Mango (7720) since you need to do some more steps, which you can also read here (includes all steps):

thanks Sir
you are really very helpful
one last query, can i use winxp for all this. i have read people have trouble using winxp
if not, i will have to update to win7, which is not so easy
You're welcome, good luck!
Yes, you can use XP SP3.
just wanted to share this
i succesfully created apphub account with my university email id
and now i have interop unlocked, and can install 3rd party apps
but still cant connect to wifi (any wifi), even if broadcasting ssid is active, but i cant still connect to wifi
it is hard for me to believe that there is any hardware fault
well lets see, if MS fixes more bugs/adds features in the Nov 7 announcement
fingers crossed

Glad to hear you're sorted, at least for most bits.
I sincerely doubt on Nov 7 they will announce anything else than generation 2 phones and some software. But we'll see.
For your WiFi issue I suggest you try this: install Connectify on a laptop with Windows 7 and share the wireless connection (or a PC with a wireless dongle but with Windows 7). If that doesn't work, your phone has a hardware fault. I know for sure this works with any WP7 phone I've tried.
