Mmm...I am using Windows Mobile 6, but I need a file that comes in Windows Mobile 5. So, if anyone still using WM5, can you post the deviceLock(or screenLock or lock - I don't exactly remember how it was called) file located in the Windows directoctory. That file is used to lock the screen(it is usually used as today plug-in, however, if you copy the .exe file, you can lock the screen from anywhere using a shortcut or directly clicking on the file). I used to have that one, but I lost it...
So, I would really appreciate if someone could just copy that file any post it here.
do a search for vjay555's devicelock program.

I put the cab on my MDA Compact and installed it.
Using File Explorer I can see a folder in Program Files and an Icon in the Programs window.
This has the four Icons, Hide, Lock, Unhide and Unlock!
My extended-rom folder is visable in File Explorer so I tokk it that I didn't have to 'Unhide' it.
So pressed the unlock icon and got a window with debug and ok in the title and Error: I click ok.
1.When I get back to my desktop I have another debug, etc window with following FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION. I click ok.
2.The next debug window says The Parameter is incorrect. I click ok again.
3. The next says extrom unlocked. I click ok.
I am taken back to '1' and go through 2 and 3 again. The windows go away.
I soft reset the MDA, by using the stylus underneath it.
I go back to file explorer and into the extended_rom folder and try deleting the TMO_Wallpaper and am told access is denied!
Not sure what else to try, but guess the unlock didn't work or I have missed something. Please be kind, if you reply.
Re: I can't get this to work either, have I missed something

Hi,
I am not sure if it works for you to,
I have had the same problem, FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION on my screen. Device didnt unlock either.
Tried to do it in any possible way,
even on the fora over here.
But the one wich i skipped, or didn't found was the correct one for me,
Personal i Think my Windows Screwed the files up, but thats F%CK*#G WINLOOS.
So i went to the ftp part of this site, and just downloaded the unlock tool again,
Just did an hardboot of the device, installed the fresh download i obtained.
First unhided it, than reset, followed by unlock, and guess what it said?!?
Rom was unlocked.
So not an single error in my case, hopes it will work for u to.
It is not always your mda who fails, your pc can do this much better.
:arrow: :mrgreen:
How do I get to the FTP site, please?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FTP_Site
Ok I think i have got to the ftp site, I say I think because when I clicked on the link it took me stright there, it didn't ask me for a username or password :?:
Anyway I searched all what I thought were the relevant folders and some that weren't and couldn't find the file
Can anyone help?
your device is called magician as codename
try looking in the sub dirs under there
I don't want to appear rude, but I have searched all the folders, etc!
I've just flashed the O2 premium v2.0 rom to my artemis, and I love it, but I really dont like the animated splash screen.
I tried using the latest version of SplashScreen.exe to customise it, but at the three colour boot screen, the utility fails saying it cant connect to the device. This must be specific to SplashScreen.exe as other utilities flash the phone fine.
So, without that tool, how can I customise the animated start screen, as the \windows folder doesnt allow me to make changes to the files there. Alternatively, if someone can post a utility to flash to a different HTC animated logo that would be great. I'm sure in the past I've seen a very small HTC animated logo on a black background - if anyone has that ready to go with an installer, I'd be appreciative!
Thanks.

just replace the animated.gif in windows folder on your device...
jvc
I tried doing that, but I cant delete the original file - any ideas?
Thanks.
Startup Sound
just overwrite the existing one with your one and you're done.
BTW:
Anyone knows how to get the startup sound working with our Artemis ?
On my Hermes it's working perfect. When i set exactly the same values in HKLM\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation
- volumn and wavFile - as my Hermes and point to my soundfile (it's a wav my windows folder) - nothing happens.
As above, I cant delete the file in the windows folder, so I cant overwrite it either.
Anyway, to work around it, I just copied a .gif file into the windows folder (called it animated2.gif) and edited the registry setting to point to that file, and it fixed it. Bit of a clunky way to do it, but it works!

That was the tool I was referring to, but when I get to the three colour boot screen, it fails to connect to my device Other flashing tools work fine, so it's something specific to this tool...

With the normal Microsoft tools it is not possible to overwrite the ROM files. But e.g. Total Commander can overwrite those files.

I've read good reviews on chrismrulz's bootlaoder programe and I'm trying to use it to update my iPAQ 4700 from 2003 to WM6. However I am obviously doing something wrong as I just cannot get it to work!
Please can anyone offer any advice?
I hope I am following the exact instructions as mentioned here at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325727
and here is what is happening:
Step 1.
Make new folder in root directory.
No Problem c:\Bootloader set up.
Step 2.
Download WM6 ROM and bootloader into file.
Done as directed from links in instructions directly into new folder.
Checked and c:\Bootloader now has 2 files in it Bootloader.exe and WM6_4700_0_7_0_RELEASE4.rar
Step 3.
Put hx4700 in bootloader mode and place in sync cradle.
I assume I have done this correctly. Screen goes blank and you can just make out the HP logo it says USB when in cradle and shows version 1.01
Step 4.
Open bootloader and select image.
Ok I go to folder and double click on Bootloader.exe
I get a security warning about the software and ignor by pressing run.
2 things now happen simutaniously. Bootloader.exe expands and creates c:\Bootloader\Bootloader and fills it with more files and directories and....
I get a box asking me to select a file to flash ROM to my device. I change the directory back to C:\Bootloader and select WM6_4700_0_7_0_RELEASE4.rar and press open.
I get a message telling me to please wait the file is being extracted and inviting me to press ok. Before I can press ok the box is replaced with a winRAR Diagonistic Message saying c:\Bootloader\WM6_4700_0_7_0_RELEASE4.rar no files to extract.
I close this dialog box and get another message telling me to wait whilst it edits files. Then this in turn is replaced by a message saying Error reading file c:\Bootloader\Bootloader\temp_nbf\ I click on OK to acknowledge.
And that’s it nothing else happens.
I've obviously read the instructions wrong or something can anyone help point me in the right direction? Or offer any alternatives?
I'm using Active Sync 3.7.1
Thanks
Phil
Open the rar file (with WinRar), and read the instructions that are in the Readme.txt file... And update your Activesync to version 4.5, which is needed for WM6.
Excellent,
Thank you Ridolfo, so much easier than what I was trying to do. I now have WM6 working and am very pleased with it.
One problem i now have is Activesync 4.5 will not work with my Outlook 2002 I dont suppose anyone knows a workaround or do I have to buy a copy of Outlook 2007?

Try these .....
First install JBed, then Opera
Cheers
Dirk
Hi Dirlan,
Thank you for the files. I was already experimenting with Opera so I deleted it from my iPAQ loaded Cloudyfa_EsmertecJbed.cab and then reinstalled Opera.
Unfortunately I get an error message from Jbed saying "the file jbed cannot be opened. Either it is not signed or one of its components cannot be found.
Any ideas?

After extracting using WinRAR
Trying to upgrade from 2003 to WM6 ...
After extracting WM6_4700_0_7_0_RELEASE4.rar using WinRAR I am trying to follow the instructions in the readme.txt (as Bootloader didn't work for me as in the first post in this thread):
From readme.txt
To begin with if you want to flash your device using cradle,you have to:
1.In processes (CTRL+ALT+DEL) you must kill Wcesscom.exe
2.Then Enter in Bootloader (Contacts+iTask+Reset)
3.Put your device on usb cradle.
4.Run mtty11a.exe
5.In "Port" choose \\.\WCEUSBSH001 and click OK
6.Write command: lnb OS_WM6.nb0
7.Wait
8.Enjoy yourself
As I'm not all that familiar with this can someone explain in step-by-step what's involved with the mtty11a.exe application, and Step 6?
Currently my hx4700 is what I think in bootloader mode (Screen is dim an I can barely make out "USB" the hp logo and the current version "v1.01"). I previously tried the original WM5 upgrade and it just dies on me at 0.1%.
Hi tk2000
As I posted the original post I know exactly what you are going through. However once I went through the instructions you are currently trying to use every thing went smoothly. You have extracted the .rar file and are unsure of the mtty11a.exe file.
Assuming you have you have killed Wcesscom.exe on your pc as in step 1,
and the device in in its cradle in bootloader mode (as you described very faint HP logo, USB and version 1.01 displayed).
Then double click on the mtty11a.exe as in step 4. This then brings up an application and you will see a dropdown menu next to port, simply select the option \\.\WCEUSBSH001 and click ok.
6.Write command: lnb OS_WM6.nb0 now this stage I was a little unsure of myself I simply typed "lnb OS_WM6.nb0" in from the keyboard and pressed enter and it started to load. This takes a few minutes but afterwards you should have WM6 on your device.
I had to do a couple of hardware restarts and it took a few minutes in its cradle but it all works fine for me.

Hi Phil,
There should be an 'opera-unsigned*.cab' somewhere here on the forum. I didn't try it because Opera works fine for me.
Sorry
Dirk
Phil3099, I a followed the instructions exactly but I don't see a status bar on the pda. mtty showes the progress with lines of + but the 4700 stays on the hp logo screen with USB on top.
Ok my issue is this..I flashed my Voude to metro pcs, I used IAMCOKEMANS loader and the alltell rom, since then no matter what rom i use the Web setting or internet settings wont keep..at all it will reset the pass word right after i save the new one.. ive tried every thing and have spent a month trying it before i decided to ask for help.
what can i do about thi problem? there are plenty of people out there claiming that they got internet and mms working flawlessly but yet no one has posted how.. so its my opinion that no one has yet lol.. not if your using the same phone from sprint that i have..and when they list the proxy settins and web setting for metro to put onto the touch there all half ass.. they do not give a step by step on how they disabled the HTC_GAURDIAN files to be able to keep there settings, and 2 they they dont tell you how they over written the file..as some have claimed..
Ok HTC_GAURDIAN is not in the start up folder in NEW roms!!! it can not be disabled by any means i know.. and every kitchen ive used just doesnt seem to install properly or when i dl the files to build an os it wont find the syw or any thing..
So can any body out there please tell me the best rom to use with this phone (thats loaded ..lol the rom i have now is really nice) and a defiant way to get the internet working on this phone from print please on the metro net work.. thanks all and thanks for the support.. after it is done i will right a guide documenting how i get it done in detail.. thanks.
Lmao it has been done and i used to have cricket and i overworote the Guardian file easily...
First off its a hidden file so your not going to find it easily.
Second its not in the Start folder inside the windows folder, its inside the windows folder just chillin there
You need
1)Total Commader
2)A blank notepad file saved at HTC_GUARDIAN.exe
once you have that... input the guardian file to somewhere on your phone and insall total commander.
you will find 2 files in the windows folder usisn total com. that are called "htc_guardian.exe" and a shortcut to this file. you need to replace the HTC_Guardiand file with the one you made and that should solve your problem with the proxy and credentials messing up...

Thank you for your reply.. ok i tried it and it is not working.. it says it can not be over written since it is part of the rom? i read some where that they disable it to being over written in the new 6.1 cn any one confirm this?
P.S. i found HTC_GUARDIAN.EXE AND HTC_GAURDIAN.ink???
Ok i got the file over written and i reset.. the problem now(wich leads me to belive that i didnt over write any thing ) is that if i create or modifie a connection no matter what pass word i put in (metropcs) I save it and i can reopen it and it goes right back to a 14-5 digit pass word and when i open a page in internet explorer it says page can not be opened due to a connection loss..any help on what the best rom would be and how to get the web working would be great!!!!! and i allso heard there is a new metropcs rom in the works or being checked out right now... CAN I BE A TESTER PLEASE!!!! thanks
I bought a Samsung Saga i770 from eBay since it also works in GSM network. Sure it was locked to US Verizon Wireless. I discovered that there
is a easy to unlock this phone for free using the same way as unlocking Samsung i780 and Omnia i9xx. I believe it may work for Blackjack and other Samsung smartphones with Windows Mobile OS.

All you need to is to select Yes when you see a message
"The program is from unknown publisher". It's from Omnia ROM.

Hi Thanks a lot for your response. This program actually doesnt work, it throws up a window and says
The file "Personalize" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstallling or restoring this file.
All three lnk files give the same error.
Thanks again
It's weird since you only need to extract the all files and open link files. Those link files are pointing into "Personalize.exe" near the .lnk files.
Try to copy "Personalize.exe" into Windows directory and lunch the .lnk files again.
