hi,
I replaced the shellres.96.dll with a modded one and now I can't see a startbutton on my windows mobile 5 device and i can't click anything on the today screen. I have a backup of the original file but I have no idea how to put it back in the windows folder since I can't do anything on the device.
i could really use some help on how to put the original file back in its place.
Jochen
Make a Hard-Reset, it will revert device memory to original state.
i removed the battery and turned the switch behind the battery to off and to on again and still its the same
EDIT: when i plug it into my pc i can hear the new hardware sound and after a while theres a win ce network error wich i normaly also get on the devices screen. my device is a Medion MD96710
Okay, if you can browse your device with your computer, DELETE modified file from \Windows directory, then restart your device. The file will be restored from the ROM.
i can't browse it with the windows explorer and its not connected in the "windows mobile device center" (don't know wether it's called like that or not in english because thats my translation from german) so i think active sync isn't running
EDIT: the problem is solved i found out how to really do a hard reset on the device and now it works just fine thanks for your help

i have a cingular 8125 and when i connect with activesync 4.1, i do not see the windows directory on my pc or on my device. i was wondering what could be wrong. any help is appreciated, thanks.
hey guys, i figured out how to view the windows directory in my phone, but i still cant access it through the pc. any ideas?
A friend had the same problem, but i can't remember what he did, a hard-reset or upgrade to the 2.18 Qtek rom (was released then). I will ask him monday.
thanks. i kind of have an idea though. the phone is brand new, i installed the software that it came with and it works fine on my main computer. i am now also using it on another computer, but this time with no software, only active sync. it reads everything fine just except the windows directory when viewing through the pc.
also, anyone know why when i uninstall an application, it still shows up in my programs list, but when i click on it, it says error? i was told got to do something in the windows directory to get rid of it, that is why i am asking about the windows thing. aite thanks for any help
Hi im new to this forum, but it comes highly recommended.
Im having trouble accessing my files on the smartphone through my PC. I had the phone previously before i gt a new one and by going to the my mobile device folder in my computer i could access all the files on the phone when it was connected. Though now on the same phone bt everytime i try to access these files the window itself just closes. I am able to do everything else on the phone but to put mp3 I have to use windows media player and place it on the storage card.
I have tried everyhing from reseting the phone to its original status and upgrading the rom. Please can some one help me as I like to use this way to transfer films and videos to the phone and check other folders. Or if anyone knows of another way to transfer movie files and mp3s to the phone.

It does not seem like there is something wrong with your phone but with your desktop! Try to delete the partnership in ActiveSync.
If you have the know-how you also might remove the drivers for your mobile device manually on your desktop.
uninstall ActiveSync completely and then reinstall (maybe the latest version???)
At least I would try that first ...
How would I remove the drivers from my mobile device manually on the desktop.
I have already unistalled the active sync and downloaded the latest version but i'll try it again.
Thankyou
What phone do you have, what version of ActiveSync do you use, and how do you connect to your PC (USB or BT)?
I have an O2 xda mini, I connect via usb and I have version 4.5 of active sync.
Did you delete the partnership yet? After deleting the partnership, can you connect as a guest and then access your phone via Windows explorer?
I just deleted the partnership and tried going through windows explorer. Once I click on mobile device and go into the folder. The same thing happens as when there is a partnership. I click to go into a folder (any folder) and the windows explorer crashes and the error report comes up asking me to debug or send error report. This is a constant thing no matter what i try
Do you have access to another computer? If so, try using that one. If you don't have any problems, then the problem lies in your computer. I recommend getting a registry cleaner to scan and repair any registry errors.
Hi,
the Display of my HD is broken and I but can start the device, but can not handle it.
So I Can Not backup my Contacts from the Device to my Computer, because of the system password which is necessary to start Windows Mobile 6.1
It is possible to start the HD in a 'Safe Mode' like Windows to backup all Files from the HDD of my device to my computer (without 'active sync')?
At the moment when I connect the HD to my computer via USB the device is identified as an extern HDD.
Thanks for your help!

Erm i think you'd need to have active-sync connection to be able to do anything like that. Otherwise you'll just have to wait for new lcd and repair it.
EDIT: Have you not got them stored on SIM card to use in other phone?

Unfortunately not.
All contacts are in the device memory.
How do the professionals in the repaircenter backup my data before they repair/open the device?
They don't.
Download http://www.mymobiler.com/ and see if you can control your device from your pc.

Yeah i was thinkin along them lines, but then you'd need bluetooth to be on and visible, maybe he hasn't as its a battery waste to leave it on.
Mmm you don't need to put in your startup password for Activesync to work.
So maybe the problem is with his usb connection if all he can see is the phone as a hdd.

Andrew
Problem is that i selected to use the device as hdd last time i connected with usb.
When i start the handy i hear the boot-sound, but i cant see anything.
So i need a option to skip the system password or start the handy via USB like a Bootloader or something else and copy all files from device to my pc.
Did you try http://www.mymobiler.com/ anyway ?

Andrew
I installed My Mobiler on my Computer and startet it.
Connected my HD to my Computer and the Computer detected the HD as extern HDD.
My Mobile on my Computer didnt recognize my HD.
MyMobile>Connect: Your Mobile may not be connected or ActiveSync connection is busy now. If the problem persists, please restart 'MyMobiler'
MyMobile>Configure Mobile>Install: PLease wait...Reinstalling MyMobiler on your mobile...... Unable to install....
Seems i can not skip my password.
I would delete and reinstall activesync and try again.

(don't give up)
i have windows 7 and no active sync running.
same problem unter windows vista.
So you are using Mobile device centre ?
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-synch.mspx
Problem is i selected "use hd as extern hdd" and not activesync last time i connected via USB.
So on the one hand when i connect hd to computer its everytime detected as hdd because i cant use the touchscreen to selected the other option('activesync')
one the other hand i have to unlock via password the activesync connection if i could build up it.

yes indeed
Well I use XP and activesync.
Question - Has your phone worked previously syncing with Windows Mobile Device Centre ok ?
yes latest sync is from june 2009
Well I hope someone with your operating system reads this and can help more.
All I know is with Windows 7 and Vista you have to ensure your firewall settings allow the connection and some AV programmes can interfere - hope this helps.

just an advice for everybody.
make a backup every once in a while.
i for example i use Microsoft MyPhone and even if my HD or my sim card gets torched or kidnapped i will still be able to acces my contacts,photos,documents,sms etc. on the myphone webpage.
realy cool right?
so if you did use MyPhone then you can see your contacts.
good luck.
I think I've just thought of a solution for you...
Windows Mobile uses the "2577" directory, if it exists, in the root of your SD card to autorun installation scripts from. When I disconnect my HD from my PC in USB storage mode, the 2577 directory is read and installation files are executed.
It may be possible to run a mortscript or a cab file from there that will either back up your PIM data, or change the USB function back to Activesync - probably the latter is easier as I'm guessing it would just be a reg key that needs changing.
Has anyone tried this on an HD2 Windows Phone 7? Spoof Build 7008?
How to remove the operator and get your Windows Phone Updates (HTC ONLY)
without comments
Howdy!
So NoDo was finally released this morning. Well, for the EU people anyway (don’t get me started).
Windows Phone 7, by default, stores your operator identifier in a sneaky registry key, which is checked by the Windows Update Client running on the phone. This identifier is then used to check if the updates have been approved for your operator. If they are slow, like Telstra here is in Australia, you’re going to be waiting a long time.
So, let’s tell you how you can “un-brand” (this won’t remove the boot splash screen) your phone so it appears to be a generic handset to the Update Servers.
Your device needs to be dev-unlocked for this to work. Sorry folks.
1.Download this zip file and deploy the 3 xap files onto your device.
2.Run the ChevronWP7.Ringtones.xap and wait till it displays “Ringtones added… and CustClear.provxml underneath”
3.Run the TouchXplorer app, navigate to My DocumentsMy Ringtones click on CustClear.provxml and select Copy from the Application Bar.
4.Navigate back inside TouchXplorer to the Windows folder.
5.Select paste from the Application Bar, this should scroll right to the bottom and put a copy of CustClear.provxml in the Windows folder.
6.Now run the Connection Setup application and click on the Ok button (it’s the one with the tick).
And now you’re done and free to re-connect to Zune and check for updates.
Again, this is ONLY for HTC devices.
Thanks to Rafael for his help.

This is only working with native WP7 devices, I assume.
Native Devices
Maybe, One way to find out? What harm can the update do? We have HSPL and Magldr, both should protect the SPL & Bootloader............
Tried it and it still doesn't detect the nodo update, I'm in the UK by the way so I should have access to it.
I'm in the U.S all the roms that have 7.08 other than boypcc it zune does't say a update is needed. On the boypcc rom it offers the update put the phone is locked so you can't try this out.
Tried it with boypcc's rom and now detects the update but gets stuck at creating a backup in the update process. Guess we'll just have to wait until a proper release with the update is made.
it aint going to make any difference, when your device goes in to flash mode windows installs a driver for a "LEO" device
i just reinstalled windows and at no point was anything on the phone or on the computer pointing to it being a Leo, that i know of, so MS can detect something that isnt right on a reboot and wacks it, if i had a native device to hand it would be intresting to find out what driver its installing, rip it out, update the leo driver installed for our HD2 to the other (correct native) driver. and see what happens.....or of course it may well detect some reg entry as stated, but i doubt thats the real cause as drivers are usually installed by hardware IDs but who knows hey!
Thanks
Thank you all for your input.
Greatly Appreciated
Hi All
recently bought a Motorola MC7094 off eBay... it has arrived and has some software installed that starts at boot up, it starts in full screen and i cant get out of it!
can anyone think of a way round this. i want to format the PDA but to do that i need to put the 'cleaner' files in the correct place on the PDA and i cant get to file explorer to do that. even going through browsing from my PC i cant get to the 'Temp' folder to put the cleaner files in there...
any help would be appriciated.
thanks
Bobro
You could try the Hard Boot key sequence from its successor the MC70. It is almost the same device.
Performing a Cold Boot - Hard reset ----- Simultaneously press the Power button and the 1 and 9 keys.
If it works, it will wipe the device to its original state at manufacture. Any software installed since will be lost. It should then boot up to the standard Windows Mobile 5/6 screen.
Solved
Thanks for the reply...
I have worked it out, you can create a folder on the PC called Temp and put the cleaner files in this folder... you can then paste this folder into the root of the PDA from 'My computer' (this folder was not visable but when pasting it askes if you want to overwright the folder. once this temp folder is on the PDA you can then do a hard reboot of the PDA. 1+9+power, it will say you need to connect AC power, once you dock the PDA again it will start the factry reset
