4>my biggest problem is activesync please help me i need 2 sync my device
plz reply to this post or pm me if u have any solutions thanx......

1 yeah that seem to be the case for everybody
problem is that the applications are not compatible with 2005
if new ones will be released i dont know being that
htc dont plan on making an official release of 2005 for anything but
universal and that being a 3G phone i dont know if it have have the sim options of gsm phones or if they will be used under 3g it having so many other options and all
2 activesync 4 is what you want it's on ms site or on the ftp
3 it have never been possible with other CE versions changes like 2002 to 2003 or 2003 to 2003SE so i doubt that you can

1. run \windows\simupload.exe
2. Upgrade to activesync 4 (you'll need XP with SP2 installed)
3. No, not possible. You can try if you want, but it'd mess up the file structure of your device it'd be all but unusable and you'd have to do a hard reset

memory loss
hey ppl after upgrading 2 winmobile 2k5 my 125.somehting memory
reduced to 120.32 why the hell did this happen?infact everyone elses memmory has incresed to actual 1288 kb plz help

What version have you got installed?

Activpync wont install on my computer...

Any reasons why not? Im on Windows XP yet it comes up a warning saying that it will only work on computers with XP!
This is very frustrating...
Is there any other way to link my phone up to my computer? I would really like to transfer some music onto it

Have you got SP2 installed?

I cant, I dont have a genuine Windows.
Do you NEED SP2? Surely there is a way around this...
I can download activesync 3.8 but I think I need the drivers for the phone?
Any help... PLEASE!?!

I've had the same problem with my XP version
impossible also to install an update from windows site
I had to install an update on my windows 2000, that worked
and then activesync 4.1 finally worked 100%
other way to work around that was to download things on XP
put them on my old SPV E200 with activesync 3.7 wich works
and then send the things on my SPV M3000 by bluetooth...

Or get a Legit copy of Windows XP!!!
You run a pirate operating system then compalin when software doesn't work with it properly.
Come back when you have a license. Is your Wizard stolen as well?

hmmm dude...
the post isnt if its right or wrong to steal windows! Its to do with how we can cheat them more!
I think the only way round this is to download a crack to get xp2.
If I could find the drivers for the phone would it work on activesync 3.8?
PS. No my phone is not stolen, Im sure you have a copied CD in your collection somewhere too.

There's a vast number of copied XP versions with SP2 pre-installed available out there. Should be all you need.

I can get a legal copy of windows xp from somewhere...
But to install it would I loose all of my documents?

chrisredmayne: it would be in your interest to backup your docs (and whole system) before installing SP2, even if your windows is legit. It's a big install!
You could make your own SP2 install disk, by "slipstreaming" SP2 into a windows install disk. Also, there are cracks for SP2, and there are also cracks for trial versions of windows.
I imagine the ActiveSync install could probably be cracked to skip the SP2 check, but it's not a long term solution.
I don't recommend any of this. When you start using SP2 and Windows in the future, you'll have to have a legitimate copy to download certain updates from Microsoft, so you might as well get hold of a legit windows, one way or the other. OEM copies are stupidly cheap, and you can even buy an OEM Media Center install for a small amount of money.

there is a piece of software at
http://www.softick.com/pocket-pc/cardexport2 called "card export II"
allows you to make the wizard look like a mass storage device, so activesync is not needed to transfer to the storage card.
ps (takes a few goes to install)

I dont get how to install it, only looked at it for a minute though. I unpacked all of the files, and it asks to open a prc file? and press hotsync on the cradle... (Guess that means phone).... Stumped

if i remember correctly .prc files are for palm user's not pocket pc.
i think you have downloaded the wrong version!

Use cardreader to download into mSD, anything you want:
Music, apps, but you need cab files to install it from mSD card.

aliendad, can you confirm you actually have Softick Card Export II for Pocket PC working on a wizard device? I have tried this on my k-jam and it didnt work at all. Even when i contacted Softick support they have said they are still working on a WM5 / Wizard compatible version.
EDIT: i just went and downloaded v2.10 of CE2PPC (which funnily enough isnt even mentioned on the website). In the setup i downloaded, i found there is a WM5 ARM install cab however this still fails to install on my Wizard / K-JAM as with all the previous versions.
Thanks
Chris

You need a minimum of SP1. You do not need SP2. For ActiveSync 4.1. If you cannot pass the genuine validation tool you need to enable automatic updates and to install them automatically. You cannot use the Windows Update site. If you set to install Critical Updates automatically it should bring down SP2 (as it is considered a Critical Update)
Also you can just download SP2 (the full install) and you should be able to install it. It should not require validation as you can install it if not connected to the network.
Although the above may not work if you truly have a messed up version of XP. I am assuming you have either a cracked version of a legit copy or an invalid product code.
I have read about people cracking XP Media Center 2005 and all worked well until the Genuine Validation tool. Then somebody came out with a crack for that. :lol:
Good Luck

I just got a disk with XP so I think its a fake validation code that I have.
I downloaded the SP2 from the windows update site, and from a random site somewhere that I searched on google for.
The problem was that when I tried to install it stopped after a few minutes and said that it wasnt a genuine windows. So Im guessing any version that I download will have the same check on it.
But I shall try and turn my updates on later and see if it works, or give that other program a go!

yes, is does work, had to do a lot of soft reseting but now have a quick access icon at the bottom of the screen to select card export or active sync.
a few days ago did a hard reset, and installed card export as one of the first installs and it installed much more smoothly that the earlier install.
ps great prog makes things much easier, can't install activesync at work.

Dumping ROM kinda OT

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.

Windows Live Problems

Hi guys, I installed the Windows Live Package from http://www.live-messenger.nl/download/WindowsLive.PPC2005_ARM.CAB. It worked perfect, now i wanted to know how much memory this app costed, so i uninstalled it again. But when i tried to install it again, it failed When i open the cab, it loads approx. 5 seconds in the installer, then the installer says Installation of WindowsLive.PPC2005_ARM.CAB has failed Anybody suggestions how i can get this work??
p.s. Without a hard reset

I have also done the same thing and get the same error. I had to uninstall Windows Live Mobile because I was getting an error everytime I tried to launch Live Messenger. Now I can't re-install it again.
I have 2 main ideas:
1st.: Microsoft is cutting the service from these "un-official" releases of their software, as they are trying now to sell Windows Mobile 6 and Windows Live can't be downloaded or installed let's say "legally".
2nd. (which doesn't affect the first one): Microsoft recognizes the WLM software as not pre-installed or being installed on a Windows Mobile 5 device and tells the client to get "blocked", I mean, it writes some values to the registry and prevents being launched or installed again showing the empty error message I had before unistalling it.
Someone can verify any of my ideas or bring a solution to have WLM working again on our WM5 devices?
Thanks in advance.

Romero i've found the problem! I got my hands on an UNdated UNrestricted version. As you said mic. just cut the WLM off. I do not knowe why but here is the fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=36364&d=1175459584

neither of those are correct, the reason is thats its a beta and expired at the beginning of the month. therefore you cant run the program or install it. just get a new beta version by signing up to Microsoft Connect or use the older version thats been extracted from wm6 thats floating around here.

Try it, like the worker:
WindowsLive.PocketPC_50_arm.cab

Thank you very much ASerg!
The version The Dutchman posted was in English, but I find out that the Aserg's file was several kB bigger... That made me think and decided to install this bigger one and finally got Windows Live Mobile working in Spanish, just like before my beta had expired.
So thank you again guys!

HP iPAQ H4350 - Modding help!!

Hello, I have a HP iPAQ H4350, I'm finding it really hard to find any information on it.
I first attempted to upgrade to WM 5 or 6, however cannot find any details on how to do it, there are a lot of details on other more newer devices but not the H4350.
I then tried to install Opera Mini, but i get "there is no application associated with [NAME OF FILE]. Run the application, then open this file from within the application". I assumed I need some sort of Java application to allow me to run Java files, but I can't seem to find out how to do it...
I'm stuck Please help.
Sean

Turns out it's on PPC not WM
oh well, it was only a spare one of my dads that I could mess around with

anyone know how to install Opera Mini?
