write protection

hey can somebody help plz.
i have a blueangel with wm5 (ivan4r3)
i want to change windows files...how can i disable write protection???
plz
You can use Total Commander (google it) to make it writable.
If the file is in the ROM, you won't able to edit it. Instead, copy the file into another location, edit it, and overwrite (copy over) the original file.
i try to copy a file out of the windows directory and i get the message, file is in rom and cannot be copied....???

Need guidance in WM5 ROM Editting, pls

I have been playing with my prophet shipped rom for some time, and was able to dump the os part into a directory. But I am not sure what all these sub-directories and files mean. For example, I want to get rid of the original "file explorer" and "zip", what should I do?

Changing Files in Windows Dir

Hi,
I flashed a new ROM and now I want to change sym.txt in \windows dir, but it's read-only and I can't change that.
How can I write in this directory?
Thanks!
use Total Commander
nope - totalcommander cannot access the ROM, as i am informed. So some files will stay. I don't know yet how to break into on HTC 4350 (Herald)...
If this file is part of ROM you can not change it without cooking a new ROM.
What you can do it overwrite it. The new file will actually be stored on the storage memory but because it has the same name and path as the ROM file the system will go to it instead of the original. At least until you hard reset your device.

I tried that, it works. Although now the function of this file doesn't work anymore (translation of certain characters by pressing "dot" and "space" on the hardware keyboard of the HTC TyTn).
After editing the file and overwriting the original, nothing happens when I press dot+space...
That is because you ruined the signature (by editing an original file) or used an unsigned file.
All system files in WM 5 and up must be signed.

Oh I see. Thanks for the information. Can I somehow sign it myself?
Yes, the WM 5 / 6 SDKs contain the tools and sample signatures, but you need to "provision" your device (put the signature in so it will be recognized).
If you do a search on this forum you will find all the info you need.

Extended Rom and Hard Reset

Hello.
At first sorry for my language.
I have problem, after HR, Extended_rom aplication are not starting to install. I had unhide an extended rom folder and he is in main directory where is windows folder and program files folder(correct place for extended rom?? becouse I have heard thet should be in STORAGE).
Next I check how much take place and resco explorer show me only 0,9 MB.
When I enter in the folder I check a sum of all files and is above 15MB.
Yesterday I change a ROM on newer and I thought that extended rom also will be working after upgrade but he is not.
Any idea??
Cant you just go to the extended_rom and run all those .cab's from there?
No becouse show me that a each .*cab is not a Windows CE aplication or something.
I deleted eveything manualy except config.cfg and now I want to manualy copy all extended roms files in EXxtended_ROM folder but there is not inought space. I have less then 1MB. Enyone know how to change space Extended_ROM folder ??

help on using autorun.exe

it seems that i asked this b4....
but i still have problems...
the scenario now is
1. i put autorun.exe and config.exe in "/storage card/essential/" folder
2. i put cabs into that folder
3. i edit the config.txt so that it points to these cabs
......but above did not work. nothing happen when clicking autorun.exe
did i miss something??
or the cab has to be remake?
those cab are just normal cab that ask where to install.
one more thing, can CPY function work with "*.*" command or does it support copying folders?

i have read this thread
but i m not making a ext rom now....
i wanna run the autorun.exe on SD card instead of extrom
actually i just want to make a batch installer not ext rom
could anyone help help on this?
Just make a shortcut to the autorun.exe on the SD card, and put it in Windows\Startup folder. BUT, make sure you delete it after it runs, or remove the SD card before rebooting, or you will have multiple installs...
@drummer10630
coz i put all the cad and sutorun.exe in SD card
is that mean autorun.exe cannot run manually?
I never tried it, but are there any disadvantages to the method I suggested?
i just tried it..but it dosent work
..wondering if autorun can only be executed in extrom
hi
any news? i have the same problem/
thanks
