How to remove hanging start up application (windows mobile)? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi,
I am developing a native application for Windows Mobile 6.5 (Samsung Omnia II i8000). After making some changes, my application hangs when it is run.
The problem is my application is also run during Start Up (via \windows\startup shortcut) and whenever I restart the phone, it'll always run my application and hangs there. ActiveSync is not connected yet (I'm using WinXP,VS2005), so I cant use `pdel` from itsutils.
Anyone has any Idea how to solve this?
edit: I think I posted in the wrong section. sorry about that, can any moderator move it to the correct section?

Trying to get wm 6.5 to flash onto my siemens sx66

Hy all. I have a Siemens SX66 phone and currently have WM 6.1 flashed onto it. I've tried to flash WM 6.5 onto it and keep getting an error saying that it can't detect my device, even though it's definitely connected and synced with my PC. The versions I've tried to flash onto my phone are the standard and premium versions of the ROM. Does this ROM not flash onto the SX66, and if it does, what is it that I'm doing wrong for it to not see my device? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
if you run Windows Vista or above, pls refer to Wiki for the correct driver.
If you are running XP, you must kill ActiveSync (go to task manager and kill wescommgr.exe and rapimgr.exe). Also, make sure that your device is in bootloader prior to cradling the device.
On a side note, please do not open multiple threads with the same question on it. In fact, please search for an answer (either google, wiki, or xda's search engine) prior to starting a new thread. Thanks.

egzthunder1,
I am indeed running Windows XP. In following your directions, Activesync kept popping up automatically whenever I plugged the phone into the cradle. I would kill the 2 exe files you mentioned in the task manager, but they would just pop back up, so I went a step further and uninstalled activesync completely. I then plugged the phone into the cradle, ran "BaUpgradeUt" from the WM 6.5 package (the download is "Windows Mobile6.5Professional(QVGA)v7.9.25_HTCBA ROM"), and I STILL keep getting the same error message when I run the progrm, which is "Error 103: ROM Image File Not Found". I currently have the WM 6.1 ROM installed on the phone if that makes any difference. Any help to figure this problem out would be greatly appreciated.
you get that error, because you shouldn't use baupgrade, but MAupgradeut_noID.exe first of all. make sure the folder containing those two mentioned files also contains a "nk.nbf" file, because that is the rom

Chef_Tony is right on the money. The noID version was developed for this same exact reason. Also, you are correct about ActiveSync as it does pop up again, but if the device is cradled in bootloader mode, the PC will only recognize the device as an USB device rather than a pda. Therefore, AS will not sync with it and it will just be opened in the background.
I believe that there is an app called KillActiveSync somewhere in the Dev & Hacking section, which truly kills AS and prevents it from running. You could search for it if you need it, but it seems that your main problem was that you were in fact using the wrong RUU. Anyway, good luck, mate!

My friend, all I see is 2 things. #1, you are not placing your phone on Bootloader. That is why Active Sync is popping up. #2, after you uninstalled Active Sync, the upgrade utility cannot see the phone. Thats why you get the error. Install Active sync 4.5 again. Make sure you place your phone in bootloader, and follow the steps here
Good Luck.

Ah yes. thanks to egzthunder1, Chef_Tony and all others who helped me on this issue. I followed the directions by all, and was able to install the 6.5 ROM. It looks GREAT!

How to "attach" USB Tool and activate "Internet Sharing" automatically at startup ?

How to "attach" USB Tool and activate "Internet Sharing" automatically at startup ?
I "liberated" my XP downgraded HTC Shift and succesfully tested 3G connectivity.
The problem is that every time I restart the device, I have to:
1) enter WM
2) Attach device via USB Tool
3) Enable Internet sharing
As WM is an operating system, I guess how to do this automatically. Can I write a "bat" file to do these steps or do you have any advice to achieve this ?
Any help MUCh appreciated.
Regards.

go to wm -win start menu --settings--connection--ub to pc--enable advance network connectivity.
this should fix the problem, cheers
Unfortunately, it does not solve the problem.
I noticed that the only thing I have to do is to activate Internet Sharing.
How to do this at startup, automatically ? Has WinMo some autoexec file or startup folder ?
Thanks.
Up, please. I'm so near to surf only starting up my shift
Up. Up. Up. Up.
Yes I'm sure you can do all of that with Mort Script,
Good luck!
And don't forget to post your final results so other users would enjoy of that!
unapproachable2kx,
can you support me ?
Maybe you can just drop the shortcut for the application on the startup folder or maybe DotFred's TaskManager can help(http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm).

WinMo has a startup folder (\windows\startup\) that you can create a shortcut for "Internet Sharing" inside, the problem is that you need a parameter with the shortcut to run the "Activate" conmmand in "Internet Sharing"; 'cause a normal shortcut will just run the app, then you'll have to press Activate manually (we want to automate that too); same thing for "USBTool". Unfortunaltely, I don't know the set of parameters for the shortcuts.
Or try looking for some advanced shortcut creation tools for WinMo, like in this list

Help me!I'm Sick!

hello everyone! i have read some topics of the forum and i really liked it!
well here is my problem!
I just bought an HTC Touch 3g mobile phone... and i downloaded a program named "LEng" in order to translate windows into greek! When the program asked me to restart device i clicked "yes".
From then the device "stucks" on the windows loading screen and never goes on!!
Well my question is:
Is there any way to format the device and reinstall windows? or should i do something else?
thanks in advance!
You should do a hard reset, don't have a HTC device myself but found this page which seems to help you with it http://www.flickr.com/photos/ryjones/2193904710/
to follow those steps the device should be activated.. Mine cant load windows
btw thx for posting
The guide says only "power on", it doesn't require you to load Windows. I understood your device does power on, it just can't boot Windows.

Windows Mobile 5 Frozen today screen

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

At the moment you can only use an Application that will start Android automatically when Windows Mobile boots.
Developers are working hard to create a possibility to start Android from internal Memory, but it's not yet finished.
Just do a bit of searching and you'll find several Windows Mobile applications that wil either automatically start Android, or give you a menu in which you can choose whether to boot Windows Mobile or Android.
Try searching for 'load android' in the HD2 Themes and Apps forum, and you'll find several apps to automatically start Android.
