I've searched and I don't think this question has been asked. I have a Verizon S5. I use this phone on another carrier. Because of this the setup wizard will always fail on reboot and needs to be disabled. I know how to delete the setup wizard, but I understand that it can cause difficulties on resets if I do. What I would like to do is install a setup wizard from my own carrier 'Rogers' or a general international setup wizard. Is it possible to do this just by installing an apk after i delete the old one? If so where would I find the apk I need to install.
Thank you for your time and expertise in advance.

I just signed up today. I have searched the forums but either I have not found the right information or I may not understand the information I have found.
The Situation
I have acquired a T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition
The Model is PW10B1
Rom Version 3.14.40 ENG
Rom Date 11/26/02
Radio version 6.18
Protocol Version: 324e4
I would like to unlock the phone and use it with Cingular service I already have.
The phone currently has a sim card in it that is active. The person who gave me the phone left it in and has not yet deactivated the service.
How can I unlock the phone using the programs on the site.
I have read several posts but I know little to nothing about Pocket PC or PDA's and I have about the same knowledge regarding GMS technology.
I know people get mad or annoyed when questions are asked that have been answered before on the forums. However, I have searched and found nothing that can help me or that I can understand. I am a quick learner. LOL
Any help would be appreciated.
Edit. I do also have the cradle

Looking at the three options you gave me, i decided to try the Wizard again.
I did not use the 2nd Link in your reply. Partially because I dont have a card reader. The device does have a 128mb card in it.
I did not use the 3rd link in your reply because It seems a bit over my head.
Following the Wizard this is where I get stuck.
(Unlock Wiz/Wallaby/SER/go)
1. Back up your data in such a way that you can restore it to a new ROM version. This probably means you want to synchronize contacts and calendar with Outlook on your desktop, and create copies of the files you need.
1. I i dont have any data on the pocket pc at the moment.
2. Download and install the SpecialEditionROM. It will unlock your phone as a part of the cold-boot procedure.
2. How do i Install this? Do I install it to my pc? Do I install it to the Wallaby? if so how do i install it to the wallaby. Will it matter that I dont have any user profiles created? will it matter that there is a sim chip in the device? What is the "Cold-boot procedure"
3. Synchronize using ActiveSync to get your contacts and calender data back, and copy back the files.
3. Does this step matter for me since I have not information I want to put back on the Device?
Edit. Is this the correct download: XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe
Edit 2. I got it to install the special edition rom, now it asked if I want to unlock the phone now. I said "yes" but I do not know which option to choose.
As I said in my first post I am in the US and will be using my cingular wireless account and sim card. I do not see an option for this.
I am king of all that is old t-mobile pocket pc phones. LOL
I got it to work , thanks for the help. I may start a pay pal account just to donate. This is a great site. now for the acceroies and to figure out how to use the new programs that the rom put in
Please please reply it.
I want to make my application part of ROM my three PDAs. ( I have XDA2i, PDA2K and K-Jam), so machine will have application after hard reset. (i don’t want to write FLASH Memory \Storage\1257 etc i think any one can delete that)
Q1) is there any installer available which deploy to ROM and make desired application part of ROM.
Q2) to upgrade any ROM , is it must to have base ROM ?
I really thankful for your feedbacks

Hi Khurram!
There are no installers that can put apps in to device ROM. If you want to add to the ROM you need to do the following:
1)Extract ROM image (or get one for your device from somewhere).
2)Decrypt the image (nbf file) and extract all files.
3)Add your app
4)Repackage and encrypt the image.
5)Reflash your device with the new image.
The tools to do it are on this site (check out ROM kitchen), but this is a complicated process, and there is a good chance you will wind up with a useless device which won't boot.
So you should read up on ROM cooking and be very careful when altering ROM images.
Good luck!
Hello levenum,
Great reply , thanks a lot . you are the only person who replied me now and in past as well.
in past, you suggested the "file store".
Problem: it is not a secure way , any person can remove it from the device.
does any one have idea about Extended ROM or any other secure and risk free way ?
Thanks

Hi Khurram!
When you first posted you didn't specify your program was sensitive, and you didn't want people deleting it.
If it's really important Extended ROM is not good ether since it can be unlocked and manipulated just like the File store. There are unlocking tools in this forum.
If your program is some kind of anti-theft app. (in case your phone gets stolen) the only way to ensure no one messes with it is to put it in ROM.
Of course even then someone could re-flash the device with an original ROM,
so nothing is 100% secure.
Great , really impressed in way you picked my point.
i am working on such a application , actually 3 months ago I lost my newly purchased XDA2i , luckily i got that back with the help of mobile operator but I want to developed such a application which will lock the machine totally and will not allow re-flashing as well.
Q: stop to re-flash is possible?
Q: any existing tools for anti-theft ( i saw something at ROM Kitchen but it is for specific versions only)
any further help will be appreciated.
Thanks Again.
Yes, there are projects like this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46174
Although, I don't remember anyone trying to put the app in ROM.
As for preventing device from re-flashing:
It is possible theoretically, but would require serious programming skills, and good knowledge of hardware.
There is a special program, called bootloader, which is responsible for loading the OS or writing a ROM update to the device. The only way to prevent re-flashing would be to write one of your own, and even then getting it on the device would be tricky.
Any way, that kind of knowledge is way beyond me.
But I do have one question you should consider:
Does your program need to save data, like SIM details for authorized SIMs or changing password?
Since this data cannot be written to ROM dynamiccaly, you would have to compile your program for each user\device specifically, and the password would have to be hard coded.
yes my application will be extention of existing security tools with more control of device something confidentional :twisted: .
the only problem is prevent from deletion so thats why i am worried about it
I didn't mean for you to tell me what your program saves.
I just wanted to point out that while preventing a program from being deleted is possible (I don't think many thieves would bother re-flashing a device, specially if your program would make it look as if the device is malfunctioning and not locked, only the user will know what to do)
its impossible to save settings so they will not be deleted.
If you are making this program only for your self, than fixed password, or SIM info is not a problem, but if you intend this for other people you will have to come up with some solution to store the settings securely.
At leas for this you may have to use the File store.
Hello,
I just installed my frist ROM on my Tmobile Wing. I'm pretty new to all of this and haven't done it before. There are a few things that I need to tinker with, but one of them I havne't been able to figure out. I assume that there is something I need to do to get the Data/Edge/Radio working, but I can't seem to figure it out. I have searched as much as I could, but still couldn't locate what needs to be done. When I try to connect to something that needs the edge, it give me a message from the top that says "Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your settings, tap Settings."
Can anyone let me know what might need to be done?
Thanks for your help!!!
Oh and "ROM_HERALD_WWE_6.1_BUILD_20764.1.4.3" is the rom I installed
Nevermind. After finding it, i'm sure it would have frustrated you to tell another Noob. But after searching enough I found out the info
Run the network wizard if it has one on the rom. If not you can find a network wizard cab on this website somewhere. Its a easy fix.
I still get the error about "not digitally signed with a trusted certificate" on my T-Mobile US HTC HD2. I downgraded my SPL and added the hspl. After that I flashed to the cell series EVO rom. At first I can install anything, and then after a few hours I get the error. Maybe the hard reset, or even installing marketplace is messing with it. I've tried a signer program, but it didn't work. I've also installed the new certificates and still nothing. Sorry for creating a new thread, but please help!
Based on my ssl secured exchange direct push experiecne you will need to install the actual certificate for the cab/server and if it is not a class1 certificateyou will need to install the root (class 1) certificate for it. Because you weren't clear with the exact details of your problem i'm only speculating as to what the problem is. Although i have just thought that if this is related to installed apps on to the device try copying them to the SD card and installing them from the device itself.
I'm new to all of this. As clear as I can get it, this stupid phone won't let me install apps after a period of time. Right after I flash the rom it prompts me with a yes or no, but later it goes straight to refusing to allow me to install. Its like apple's 3.1.3 and I lost my jail break or something! It says they aren't digitally signed. As far as installing the stuff, I don't know how. Any direction?
still cant install
I've been thinking about this and i can't come up with a reason as to what might cause it. So questions.
1) are you trying to run the cab files from on pc or directly on the phone?
2) Is it a specific cab file that you are using to this with or do you use any random one.
3) if you try to install app via activesync (.net compact framework 3.5 for example) does it install?
TMOUS devices actually have their own special board (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=631) it may be worth having a look there and asking. It may also been worth trying a different rom from the ones you have tried. The energy series of roms seems to be very popular and i'm trying it out for my first custom rom. No problems at all yet and it does work very well.
Can you Help
I have had my HD2 for 2 days now and have only just today tried activating my hotmail and facebook accounts. with no prevail.
i was told by another member of XDA to check out my certificates;
well i have no certificates at all except for the root 1's, i dnt seem to be able to add any either. im well n truely a noob when it comes to the HD2 and its stressing me out hard
can any1 please help
any help would be much appreciated
thanks tom
Hi folks,
I'm looking for a solution to a problem I found in one of my software.
I use the phone as a standalone datacollector. He is sent to one location and nobody sees or interacts with it.
I found it interesting to use Android, because it is reliable and easy to program, in addition to the hardware features necessary for my application.
I have 200 Galaxy S5 devices for that application.
The problem is that from time to time some of them decide to lose contact with the modem / SIM card.
The only solution I found is to turn off and on the data connection. The problem is that even with the rooted device in and asking for permission to manifest for android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS, when I try to change the data connection, I get a system message saying that I'm not allowed.
What should I do? Has anyone tried any solution for this?
I heard that I need to have the signature of the phone's firmware to be able to sign my software with the same key. Really?
Please do not suggest changing the APN settings to turn off and on phone data. This does not solve my problem... i`ve tried.
Thank you!
Many setprop as a terminal command or some how edit the database in settings provider
great idea, but how do you think i'll be able to tell the system that i've changed the file or the database? a reset?
