windows mobile 2003 software

HELLO,
IS THERE ANYWHERE ON THIS SITE WHERE I CAN DOWNLOAD A COPY OF WINDOWS 2003SE SO I CAN REINSTALL IT ON MY SPV M1000.
PLEASE HELP.....................

Hello didgeridooplayer.
First, welcome to the forum!
Second: Please refrain from typing in all uppercase letters, it's considered shouting.
As to your question:
I saw you other post in the Himalaya forum, but I reply to this one because I don't know what causes the camera problem.
I don't think you can solve it by 'reinstalling' the OS. This is not a PC. Windows Mobile is embedded in ROM, and although you can upgrade it (because it's actually flash and not real ROM), to clean up the device hard reset is sufficient.
The OS could not have been damaged by any installed program like it can be on the PC.
Now, I am not sure but there may be a Himalaya ROM on the ftp:
ftp://xda:[email protected]
However, Windows Mobile ROM images are custom tailored to a device. It's not like Win XP where you just get a disk and install it on any PC. It has to be custom made by the OEM for each device.
If you already knew this stuff and my post sounded insulting in any way, I am sorry, I just got an impression from your post that you didn't quite understand the issue.

Windows Mobile n stuff
Hi, Firstly thank you for the reply and secondly sorry for the caps. No you have not offended in any way I am a complete newbie numpty and did not know about the things you mentioned I know my way arround a pc but the ins and outs of PDA's are somewhat of a mistery to me. Anyway the reason my cam did not work was because I did a soft reset before the pda installed all its customisations to get round the password problem and therefore it did not get chance to load its camera software or album etc etc. Anyway I am trying to get the guy who sold it to me on ebay to give me a refund but doesnt look to promising (bloomin Ebay is a pain in the bot) but I will see what I can do.
Thanks again...Tim

Hi didgeridooplayer.
Glad I could help.
If you can't get a refund here are a couple of things you can try:
1) If device was locked by password, hard rest should have cleared it and you shouldn't worry about installing the customization since the password has nothing to do with it (it's just some stuff like cellular provider settings and some extra apps the OEM chose to include). Unless the previous owner changed it.
2) Customization is stored on the 'Extended ROM'. This is part of flash that is normally hidden from the user. However with some registry tweaks it can be unlocked and used like extra storage that will not be deleted during hard reset.
I don't know how to do it for your particular device, but if you look in the WiKi, I think you will find the answer. You can then replace just the contents of the Extended ROM (no need to re-flash the whole device) or just install the camera cab from it. That should solve your problem.
P.S. All installations on the device are done by *.cab files. You can launch them by tapping on the file from file explorer on the device.

Hello,
you stoped the proces of customization. in this process device install all aplication from Extended ROM.
Your album and camera, and maybe other aplication are not runnig because they aren't installed.
Just do a HardReset and wait the customization finish.

Advanced Configuration Tool Install Help

I've searched and searched for ways to install this program, but all I can come up with is to sync the folder to my storage card. I can do this just fine, but I can't run the setup in the phone. The setup file opens into Opera. Could someone please help?

and I do already have the .NET Compact Framework 3.5 successfully installed.

It sounds like you're extracting the cab file instead of installing it, and then opening _setup.xml (which opens with Opera by default). Just download the 3.3 cab install version from here, put it on your device one way or another (without extracting it), and open it (from the device) with File Explorer Mobile or Total Commander for Windows Mobile.

Sweet Zombie Jesus that was easy... Thank you so much Dave. Best wishes to you sir.

Whoops...nevermind.

Your question was actually "how do I install a cab file". This did not require a new thread. It has been asked a million times and is part of mobile hacking 101. I really wish people would do a little reading before posting.

Thanks ****. I spent about 4 hours hunting down how to install that file....no where I went to told me exactly how to do it. And they're not all the same. Sometimes you have to unzip them on the computer and sometimes they go straight on the phone. I'm TRULY sorry I wasn't born with a mobile device in my hand. Please grace me with more of your bountiful intellect. I could totally use it.

Okay. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have called you a ****. But i think it sucks you got offended that i had to ask for help for a problem I wasn't able to answer on my own.

I also think it sucks that i let your response bother me.

Cannot install Andriod anymore

I think this is a repeat post from the TYTN 2 forum. More eyes here so i thought i could ask here
if you are going to delete, delete the other post please
I cant seem to install Andriod anymore
I download Haret files
copy the latest version of haret (0.5.2)
download the andriodinstall.tar
Boot Haret
It formats correctly then it says
data timeout
then it gives an error
-110 error transferring data
then a whole lotta crap and then my battery starts to overheat
i am now on Windows 6.5 so I really donno what i did wrong?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Windows Mobile 6.5 is nice. I say you either stick to that, try a different ROM, or go buy an Android Phone. They're cool aren't they!?

Its not the problem with the ROM. I fear it could be a problem with my SD card....
FYI, I wanted advice on my problem.... if you cant give it.. I would suggest better methods of increasing your post count than give responses that really don't hold too much value..

[Q] booting an rom present in storage card

guys i have playing around the registries and i saw that i can boot a rom present at the location mentioned .but the problem is that it cant boot an .nbh format file..Its booting files present in it can any body help me extracting all the files in an rom ....if this worked it will profit all the win32 users alot who are faceing flashing problem this is simplest method i found ....plz after getting solutions n after making sure ill let u know guys how it done i dont want nebody taking this riskk....sooo plz

what reg keys are you talking about here??

hiii ..the registries were like h_key/localmachine/init/bootvars/masterkeyfiledictorie it was /windows by default..i used my extrom that is /storagecard/windows/ well its booting the folder but due 2 lack of some file getting switched .off....kkk..lets see im not gonna give up ...ORTHER PLEASE DONNOT TRY THIS ITS VERY RISKY UR CELL MIGHT GO DEAD SO PLEASE..well hopes so this work still waiting of our members to a conclusion....

i'm just guessing here coz i don't have that much of in-depth know-how about it but...err...even if your system theoretically worked, wouldn't that reg key only be present and accessible when there is a proper booting Windows based OS on the device first...
as far as i am aware of (and that awareness is very limited in scope at this point in time) Windows is the only OS using the sorta reg keys we use (do correct me if i'm wrong)
and assuming that even if we do get it to boot from an external location, for instance a mem card, wouldn't that still mean that we would require a Windows base on the device memory first...
isn't that kinda redundant??
and suppose we keep an absolutely clean ROM on the device and have a loaded ROM in an external location and then boot off of it...our GENE's processor and RAM are still not powerful enough to deal with the added load on it...
now don't get me wrong...i'm not trying to put you down...i would even help in any way if possible but i just don't what it is you're trying to do because i fail to see how this would alleviate the problem of flashing in any manner...
may i also suggest you post you idea up in the WinMo Development thread so that you can catch the attention of other advanced users who could help you out or shed some light on the use of the reg key...

u haven't put me down ..wat u said was n is absoulately correct .thankin u from bottom of the heart for giving such an precious knowledge 2 us.n pls help me with sum more ideas in future regarding this thread pls pls ........thankinn u n hve a greatday....;-)

just because you hit a stumbling block here doesn't mean you have to pass up on it...
try posting stuff that you find out that hasn't been tried/used well before on the WinMo Q & A or Dev thread...you never know what sorta breakthrough you might make...people here are incredibly helpful but the only way they (we?) can help you is if you are gonna share information that you have...

well booting is possible through Storrage card -. but the problem is that getting the rom files does any 1 has and idea how we get all the files From nbh file any body having 1dea of getting Please p:s^here ..well sum guys say tht omap 850 can't offerd such an data load ...well tht fake I don't believe thz it nothing 2 do with processor it regestry ..me n friend found tht default setting for data transfer with microsd is 64 byte and and sdHC is 256 byte for booting if u microsd whn u use microsd change it 2 128 byte not more tht cool speed has omap 850 can handle 32gb memory card 2gb is nothing in front of it ...well got 50% sucees for thz post.i put all start menu programme in storage card guys u not belive tht i've got ram space used is only 34% ill post an image of it .....tryin now to put all the programmes let see let c for rest 50% plz feel free to post ur suggestion it all for u guys n e1 im not gonna give up so early ....the reason y it takin time is tht pc's motherboard has crashed n its given for repairing.............plz keep post I'll prefer reply
POSTING THREAD UNCESSARLY MAY PROVE DANGEROUS BECAUSE WE GUYS FLOOD THE SERVERS N THE ADMINISTRATION MAY GET UPSET SO PREFER REPLIES INSPITE OF REPLING WITH NEW THREAD ....BECAUSE I'VE SEEN MANY GUYS DOING THIS.....have a nice day

guys guys my solution is working ...u wanna know does ur memory card has the folder WINDOWS on the root..
.well if not don't worry ..
1-if u are having .net framework 3.5 cab install it on the storage card ..after tht u will windows folder on ur sd root "ROOT-the folders which r welcomed or opened when u open or execute storage card through explorer..
NoW things tht u need to boot rom on storage card r
1- resco explorer latest version install it ..n if u r havin it check whiether it not an expired version ...
2- run the resco explorer ..one good thing is tht resco has an regedit s\w in it which we will require after wards ..
3-configure resco explorer ..n then in menu\option\ general\ browser uncheck all options n press ok button...
4-go on windows folder not the one on storage card outside it ...the windows folder where all the rom files are present ...and select all files on in the windows folder..
5- after tht a long tab on it thn select property..uncheck all except ROM option cause it not possilble to do so ...after tht press ok...
6-now start copying file from windows to \storage card\windows ....it take a very long time and do make sure tht u have 120 mb on storage card ...
7- while copying u will hve to keep pressing "yes" button all the time whenever required ...because copying denied by sum file but thts okay ...n don't lose u patient while doing so ...action stopped due to sum reson u may continue by same proccedure but "skip all "file already copied.....after finishing ....go to resco registry...
8-in resco registry open HkEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init\BootVars and modify the string value of MasterKeyFileDir from
\windows to \storage card\windows
pls don't mistake it with backslash"/" it ALWAYS "\" in registry ...now what
9-its finished n u all done but plz check all file copied I know sum file couldnot be copied but don't worry thoose file are .dll files mainly containing registry and work according with HKEY's ...
now do a softreset let it boot n after booting let it settle down for few minutes for the 1st 15min it goes slow but after ward goesssss very smoth....
note:-THIS CONDITION GOES TRUE IF U R HAVING GENE THAT IS HTC P3400 OR HTC P3400i BECAUSE ITS TESTED WITH GENE OTHER PLEASE DON'T NOT TRY IF U TRY AND CAUSE ANY DAMAGE TO UR OS OR ANY OTHER RELATED THING ...I AND XDA ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT"
10- BEFORE I EXIT ONE MORE THING THIS ARE TEMPORARY CHANGES WHICH MAY BE CHANGED AFTER U HARD RESET UR MOBILE N U CAN FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION IF U HAD N HARD RESET UN WILLINGLY.......
have a nice day n sry abt my english ....pls give a feed back .....

regarding your first post ->
before i begin i'd like to make to assumption, one for me and one on your part...
assumption 1: your project aims at getting a ROM to boot up from the memory card instead of the very limited phone memory
assumption 2: you believe booting off the memcard will improve on the performance and speed
now let me get to the point-
if you dump a stock ROM or even a cooked ROM what you will get is a huge number of files and modules...alongwith a .rgu and .reg files...tons of them...
now simply copying them over to the mem card won't make it work...
the .reg and .rgu files which contain all the registry entries for the software need to be added into the system registry (which is ironically located in the phone memory) for the program to function as most of them maintain settings and records and certificates on the registry and access and refer to them while running
now this work or adding the registry entries is usually done by the kitchen for us cooks...
it can be done by hand as well but the sheer amount of time and patience required for it to be done this way is way to overwhelming....
and it can only be entered by hand if there already is an operating system functioning on the device
so for now...i'm leaving that out as an option...because basically no reg entries mean no OS
our gene are able to read mem card higher than 4 Gb because the SDHC drivers required for this to be possible are cooked in with our devices...
SDHC cards do not work with stock 5.0 and 6.0 WM ROMs because they can't recognize/handle them...
now about your second post ->
what you've done is copied your system files onto your mem card and made your system boot into it...
the only way to know if it is genuinely booting up with the file in mem card and NOT with the ones in the phone memory \Windows folder is by deleting the files from phone memory...
and even then, you'll still be accessing the registry from phone memory to get the files from the mem card to function probably
now a request to you...
i want to know what exactly it is that you are trying to do...
you mentioned you wanted to get a ROM working this way to ease the burden of flashing...but this wouldn't help at all as it would still require a running OS on the phone and also need corresponding reg entries for a different ROM loaded on the mem card if you were to boot into one from there...
its just that i'm losing point to what you are aiming to do...
if i understood it better i could even help a bit myself...i've been cooking ROMs for a fairly long time so i could even provide ROMs dumps if needed...
so if you could, just write down a few lines about what you want to achieve via this...

Brother wat u said is correct...e1 im tryin to reduce the flashing accident without excepting any reward ...I've been a victim of flashing.losing my gene dead so.
frist I was scared after completeing the procedure tht my mobile might get stuck on bootloader mode but fortunately it started ...after looking at the registry sawed tht while booting it take help of the files present in documents n setting folder rest everything from windows which now is \storage card\ windows getting RAM free near 50% ...but the problem is tht flash a rom files go in windows folder im looking to change tht scenerio over here ....belive me the speed is improved a bit while multi-taskIng ..so I can say i ve 5% success...pls post sum ideas or question u may get....'''IDEA GIVES BRITH TO INVENTIONS''' tc

have a look at the ExtenDir project...you'll find it in a quick search

[Q]SMS: WinMobile to Android

Hello, first I want to excuse me because I don't know if this topic already exist, I searched but I didn't find
I wanna install Android in my HTC HD2, but first I need something to transfert from Win to Android, my contacts and my sms/mms!
For contact I already have a solution, using a Google Account, but I don't know what to do for sms/mms, and it's very important that I do that!
I hope you can help me to find the right app for this migration
Thank you so much, greets

Looks like this helped many people:

I have used Sprite Migrate before:
http://www.spritesoftware.com/Great-for-You/Migrate/Migrate-Your-Data-Now/How-To-Transfer
but the beta is over now and its not downloadable. One could still use it by temporary shifting back the system date of the device (1 year backwards for example). There are 3 files you need: the CAB file for WM to export the data, EXE for the PC to convert it and an apk for android to import. I can send them to you when I get home if you don't like the method from the first link.
