.NET CF Problems - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi,
Ive got 5 CAB files which all go together to run a little program i have written, however, when installing them on my XDA IIS every one of them displays the message 'The program you installed may not display properly because it was designed for a previous version of windows Mobile software'. I think these errors may become a problem when i place it in the Extended Rom folder.
the files are as follows
- OpenNETCF.PPC3.ARM
- MyProgram_PPC.ARM.CAB
- sql.ppc3.arm.CAB
- sqlce.dev.ppc3.arm.CAB
- sqlce.ppc3.arm.CAB
Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks,
James

Hi LinQ
The problem is that the OpenNETCF and SQL CAB files were built for WM2003 and _NOT_ WM2003SE. This means that WM2003SE cannot verify that they will work correctly with features such as the screen rotation facility.
To stop your app from coming up with the same message, you need to download the WM2003SE SDK from MS (haven't got a link sorry... but google for it and you should find it) and then target your application at the new WM2003SE device option that you get.
Hope that helps

K-Jam / Windows Mobile 5 & TomTom 5

Anyone got TomTom 5 working with Windows Mobile 5?
I received my k-Jam this morning but the setup.exe bombs out so I cannot get TT5 installed at all
any help appreciated!
thanks
Try to install the .cab file instead, it should work.
thanks but I have tried that. 3 of the 4 CAB files install but the main one (ttn.cab) - looks like its going to install ok and then you get "the file....installation was unsuccesful".
Any ideas?
Nothing on the TT site - I'm surprised that X51v or other early Windows Mobile 5 users have not been onto this one?
It seems like a problem with Activesync 4.0 initially but as the cab files don't work i guess we need a patch from them?
anyone got it working?
thanks
TomTom 5 install Problem
I had the same problem with the auto run procedure on my mini SD card.
I solved the problem by navigating to the '2577' folder and running each cab file directly on the phone (didnt use activesync). This seemed to work for me.
However, now Im having trouble with bluetooth com ports. Tomtom configuration does not show the port numbers assigned to my paired gps reciever.
Try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=29282&highlight=tt5+kjam+qtek+wm5
Let me know how well tt5 runs on the k-jam ie how smooth etc as i'm awaiting my miniSD so can't try it yet!
TomTom Navigator 5.10 works with Windows Mobile 5 and Activesync 4 - but it's NOT easy. The instructions in this thread got it working for me (though I used COM4 instead of COM0):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=28386
Also I found that the bluetooth GPS had to be locked on to a signal for TomTom to see it at first - was fine after that.
Although my device is a HTC Universal, it has the same OS and Activesync version as your Wizard so there's no reason why it shouldn't work. Go to the above link and enjoy :lol:

I had the same problem. All cabs would install except the ttn cab. Here's how I solved it.
1. uninstall everything
2. install gps.cab
3. remove sd card and soft reset (this is the important bit)
4. install ttn.cab and this time it should work
Thanks for your help guys.
sl9; How did you get 5.1 to upgrade? After copying the files from the downloaded RAR file I tried to run the setup.exe file on the phone but get a message telling me that the file is not a valid windows mobile program (perhaps it is a smartphone program).

The setup.exe is meant to be run on your PC, it uses activesync. Obviously we know this doesn't work so the solution is to get the 5.10 upgrade from TomTom website as the ZIP FILE, NOT THE EXE - this is important
Anyway, extract the zip, and copy the directory with the 4 cab files in it to your SD card (where you have the map on). Then execute the cabs one by one, using the tip by jdee246 above if any of the cabs don't want to install.
After you install it, then the fun begins trying to get the damn thing to recognise your GPS device, see the link in my earlier post for a guide
Thanks guys - the soft reset seemed to do it. The manual install worked fine in the end.
I now have to wait for TomTom support to give me a code as I already had two a few months back so I can't report on how well it runs yet. Overall tho the Wizard/k-Jam is pretty slow - esp for screen refreshes.
I did try the BAKONL hack which I use to test TomTom on various devices but the ttn.cab on that patch just will not install for me under Win Mob 5.
thans
Thanks to all for your help.
Managed to get Tomtom 5.1 up and running. 5.1 seems to have fixed the gps connectivity problem.
The software runs on the K-JAM just as fast as it did on my QtekS110, with no problems yet.

Hello ,
How can I install the folder "voices" because it's not a ".cab" ?
Thanks for your help.....
Who had install Tomtom 5 on the K-jam ?
Because it's too hard for me and I don't understand everything .... :?
Thanks for your help !!!!
:idea:
In total you have to copy 4 files from your wm2003 device and paste to wm2005 in these dir:
mobile device\tomtom\CurrentMap.dat
\TomTom\TomTom\data05.bmp (voice files on cd)
\TomTom\TomTom\data05.chk (voice files on cd
\Program Files\navigator\data.chk
\Program Files\navigator\tomtom navigator.exe
\Program Files\navigator\navigator.cfg
that's all.
data05.bmp and .chk is for example, you can choose one of your own voices.
Look this up on your device other wise i send you my files so you can try them.
Good Luck
GuidO
Thanks for your help !!!!!
I try this tomorrow ....
regards.
T-Mobile MDA Compact
Hi Guys
I seem to also be having problems with my MDA.
I can install tom-tom just fine, but for some reason it just doesnt recognise my Bluetooth GPS receiver. The receiver brand & model is as per this page:
http://www.qstarz.com/html/products_BT-Q770.htm
I have enabled COM 4 & 5 in the bluetooth settings page and configred tomtom to connect using either com4 or com5 but it just doesnt work.
Any help in solving this problem would be much appreciated!
Many Thanks!
This for all of you who are still having problems...
This is what i did to get my Tomtom working on my T-mobile MDA Compact:
1. uninstall tomtom using add/remove programs.
2. using file explorer deleted the following folders:
\tomtom
\program files\navigator
\program files\contacts navigation
3. Using a registry editor - browse the software sub-folders of HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and delete any tomtom, tomtom navigator, and/or tomtom gps/ tomtom bluetooth supprt folders.
(in order to avoid steps 1,2,3 you can also perform a hard reset after you have backed up all your data & files)
4. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> DRIVERS -> BUILTIN -> BTINSerial
5. Now change the index key from 4 to 6.
6. Exit the registry editor.
7. Soft reset your MDA.
8. Now install TTN5
9. After following the initial setup prompts of TTN5 exit it.
10. Now install tomtom nav. 5.1 (update available from the tomtom website)
11. Go back into tomtom and select "change preferences"
12. Go into GPS CONFIGURATION
13. Select Other Bluetooth
14. Select COM5
15. Click Done
16. Give tomtom about 10 seconds and your GPS navigation should now work OK!!!!
Hope this helps everyone who is trying to get this to work. I have spent a lot of time trying to find a solution that works and this i feel is it!
Needless to say use this solution at your own risk - all i can say is that its worked for me!
once installed, use this procedure.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32267
It works 100%

Can you confirm that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> DRIVERS -> BUILTIN -> BTINSerial is correct - My Vairo didnt have that key...
Plus I seem to be having the same probs as you did but with the Qstarz Q880...

ttn.CAB won't install despite reset

soft reset,
installing gps.CAB,
remove SD,
soft reset,
then install ttn.CAB
but it still says 'installation failed'. Aaarrrggghhhhh
Any ideas, anyone?

MachinaGod RAPI Unlocker - certificate disable on WM5 v0.1

Hi,
Just an util I got together in no time.
Rapi Enabler, certificate disabler.
Enable all the security on your Windows Mobile 5 phone.
Credits to the author of the ce remote tools.
Instructions:
1. Download the attached file (you have to be logged into xda-dev);
2. Extract it somewhere in your computer
3. Connect your phone via activesync
4. Run the EnableRapi.bat (on your computer)
5. Done.
Have fun,
Ricardo
How does it differ from this CAB file I pulled off the HTC Apache?
I use this in my Extended ROM so that I can run unsigned applications, CAB files, and CPF files during the initialization procedure after a hard reset.
Hi BTT,
This is based on that exact cab. The only difference in enabling RAPI calls also, and doing it without needing user interaction, only needing a activesync connection.
Is a little utility I use for integration into batch files.
Bye,
Ricardo
Certificate disabler..
Probably a dumb question, but is it a replacement fort certchk on 2003 devices? Still looking for such a program.
Thx
Thanks Machinegod, this worked well. I used it on an XDA exec will it work with all WM5 devices?
Hi Machinagod
Is there a way i can call your routine from code?
I have developed software for WM5 but cannot access the database with the standard MS settings. I would like to give my users the option to unlock the rapi calls and install automatically.
Thanks in advance
Steve

to ronaldovic: I believe this utility is for disabling signed applications so you can install apps that have not been signed. I have used BTT cert cab in my extended rom since he posted it (Thanks BTT, It has been very usefull)
If you are looking for disable cert check so you can activesync with MS exchange without a a SSL . Certificate connection, Micro$oft still offers a download to disable the cert sync check..

Miracle Registry
i checked many registry of "Security policies" in different device, and also SDK.
http://asukal.seesaa.net/article/12583144.html
You can understand how change it for your neccesity.
this was for your refference.
and also i got made one registry file which has many "Certificate Sotre"
from different setting devicees and CABs and SDK Emu.
This registry make your device to enable working many kinds of dll and exe or any other files without digital signed(not for all)
multi user interface files also can effect without digital signatures.
(shellress still can not, but worked with Smartphone signature)
The security revel will be same or lower than SDK emu.
but not completely finish to edit it.
so possibility of some side-effect or unkown problem.
Hope understand this point and use it as test.
But once you use this registry, you got understand why i said it miracle.
just import this registry and make soft reset.
"syntac error" displayed when you import this, but works.i will cheking the reason of this error.
lets test it.

How to install .net on XDA11i

Hi guys / gals
I have an XDA11i and want to add .net compact 2.0 to it so that I can run hitchhiker or wififofum etc .
How do I install the .net framework ? do I just add it to the active sync folder and let it get patched across ? or do I load it to another folder on the Pda and run it ?
Am having fun with my work network whih at the moment is stopping me down loading the file any way but I believe my It dept can get round that one for me.
Help greatfully appreciated

I am a bit unclear:
In which format is the installation you have?
Usually you download the desktop installer from MS. (I believe it is an .msi file). Then you just connect you device, double click on the file on your PC and it does everything else automatically.
If you just have the .cab file, copy it to your device, then click on it from the file explorer (on the device).
That's it.
If you need to download it you can do it here.
Easiest way: dock your Alpine.
Download and run the .msi file from the Microsoft URL mentioned above (it's the latest version of the .net compact framework). Let the installation run its course, and as it goes it'll transfer the CABs over to your device and then they'll install. I don't think (if memory serves) any user intervention is actually required.
One soft reset later: bang, you're sorted.
Thanks guys
Took your advice and all sorted , as you said it does it all its self , no intervention .
Now have hitchhiker and wififofum all up and running although a big drain on system rescources .

restore xbackup-file from qtek s100 to s200

hello guys.
i have a little problem so i try this way because i didn't find any way to solve the problem myself.
i had a qtek s100 with xbackup and windows mobile 2003. the device now is smashed so i get a new one (a qtek s200) running windows mobile 5 without xbackup.
this things i did try in the past:
- activesync backup but this one it is about 6 months old and not useful for me
- getting a xbackup.exe and try to run with windows mobile 5 - didn't work because of incompatibility
one thing to say: i used the xbackup.exe from this file:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_1_4x/Cabs/Patch/O2Asia_patch_140921.sa.CAB
so it could be possible that the asian xbackup doesn't work right?
i get this errormessage when running xbackup on windows mobile 5:
"unknown backup information error"
the whole xbackup language appears in english
- try to run many pocketpc roms like pocketpc 2003 (in description of microsoft downloadpage it was named windows mobile 2003), smartphone 2003 and some other roms with the microsoft emulator included in embedded visual c++ and some sdk's. the file could just be opened with the windows mobile rom for smartphone (should be windows mobile 5?) but the program crash with the error message i wrote above..
i didn't find an emulator-rom wich is exactly the operating system like from qtek s100. it could be interesting for very much people to find the right rom that is working to restore xbackup's. could be an easier way to help someone with backup problems like me.
please help me because i really need my contacts and if possible but not really importent my sms-messages.
i hope someone can find the right rom-image for the microsoft emulator.
hope someone can help me (and many other people)
thanks!
Assuming the program Xbackup would work in WM5, you can't or must not restore a WM2003 backup file to a device running WM5.

Tomtom 7 Software Instalation Fails

I’m using an htc tytn ii and trying to install tomtom navigation software version 7 there on but getting the error “Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it has not been digitally signed by a trusted certificate” where after the instalation shuts down. I’ve tried the tomtom software on my tytn with the same result. Any help?
I’ve already tried the file default-signed-disablesecurity.zip as well as turning off the appropriate messages with kaiser tweak with out any success. the tytn ii uses windows mobile 6 and the tytn windows mobile 5 just for some extre information in case it’s necessary
Thanks in advance
first, this is is NOT tytn/kaiser forum.
2nd, i had no problem installing TT7 on my Universal w/ WM6. Yes, it *****ed about Unsigned code but I selected OK and it installed just fined. Perhaps u downloaded a bad copy of TT7. Use the 7.450 version.
Hi there
Thanks for the advice. I've been searching high and low for that version of tomtom ... Do you know where I can download it? Are you able to post a link to't?
Thanks again
