I connect universal to my pc w/ usb and want to rename/delete files in windows directory. It told me some pemmisson error. How can I do such things?
I can create new folds in the directory.
Seems a new bie question. thanks in advance.
Files in the windows folder are generally ROM files, so you can't really delete them, they'll just come back from ROM when you reset.
So - you can use the old technique, normally, of using something like gsfinder, rename the file you want to change, eg ctlpnl.exe to ctlpnl.orig, then copy a new file into the windows folder and rename it to ctlpnl.exe.
That works well with some files, but not all.
To do some heavy duty modding, you would have to make your own rom. Find RomTools by Mamaich.
V
But I can't rename any files belong to original rom. When I use GSfinder to rename the file, it also reported "Cannot rename file.". I checked the property of the file, it has "rom" property and the checkbox of "rom" property is gray.
How?
I attached a jpg file when I want to change the name of "smartdialing.dll".
My device info:
ROM: 1.30.111 WWE
Radio: 1.11.00
Protocal: 42.45.P8
ExtROM: 1.30.230 WWE
T-Mobile Germany version
As you say, if it's a proper ROM file that wants to be stubborn (it may already be in use. Try closing the app using a good task manager first) then your other option could just be burning a new rom.
Why do you need to rename it?

It seems that's not the reason. I can't even rename a htm or gif file with ROM property.
I want to localize smartdialing.dll.
Thanks for your quick response!
I think there's already a tutorial/solution to a localized smartdialler.
Can't remember the poster, check Buzz's site.
V
yes, I want to create a Chinese version of smartdialing based on their tutorial.
However, I tried to replace the original dll with my modified one, and FAILED. That's really troublesome. Seems nobody else has the same issue as mine.
Got a simular problem.
I'm trying to install OZVGA and according to the instructions you need to copy some files (Backlight.exe Camera.exe etc.) into the windows directory, but i'm not allowed to do so. Files are read only or in use.
Some suggestions?
Use TotalCommander.

useless.
Any one knows why?
I had the ozvga issue. I installed the extended ROM unlocker (from buzzdev.net I think) and then it let me replace them.
Hope this helps.
Coincidentally, I've just upgraded to the latest T-Mobile ROM and need to re-apply ozvga but I can't find the files/instructions anymore. Got a link handy?
This is a long shot, but there was a cab file knocking around the forums, I remember it from the days when i had a HTC Blue Angel. there was a cab file or file that was installed on the SD card that could take a ROM image from the device and then you could install back onto a device if the upgrade failed.
Im just wondering if this is possible and it would help those people out who have bricked there devices.
What im saying is, if i can find this cab file, i could try and get my rom dumped and maybe someone could use this to get an original o2 uk rom back onto there devices.
what do you guys think ?

i only have a 256 mb card and i need someone to let me know if that is big enough for a rom dump....... any one help with this?
seemed ok, just backing rom up now.... will try and put it into a format that can be uploaded, mine is the original rom that came with the o2 uk xda orbit, and will/should help bricked devices back to original rom.
im, currently uploading my dump to the ftp, for anyone who knows how to convert this into something flashable.
i have no idea how to do this, so if anyone knows, please do this or pm me with instructions or link and ill do it tomorrow after work.
What program you use to make the dump? I used WM5 test, and I could make a copy of active ROM, but where this progam saves the files? I can't find any folder with these copied files.

on that link, there is a coment,
Please use the SEARCH button as this has been discussed already.
ANyway to help you do the following:
1. Download the latest T-Mobile ROM (the exe file) from the XDA Dev FTP site. Then extract this to a folder, say EXPERIMENT
2. Put the BIN file there
3. Go to Buzzdev.net nad follow the procedure to ENCODE/DECODE ROM. This will change the original nk.nbf (the OS) with your BIN file. using HTC64 Extended ROM Tool.exe
4. Then just put the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file into this directory also.
Now you have your OS backed up ready to install to a device in the EXPERIMENT directory. Now just make sure the T-Mobile ROM you downloaded has the same radio ROM. If not, download a verison with same radio rom and replace the radio_.nbf file with the downloaded version.
Backing up the ExtendedROm has to be done manually. Just transfer all contents to a alternate directory in the PC then just put it back to replace what's already there.
Hope this helps

i think this will only work with an original o2 rom, which isnt available, and i doubt it would work using another operator rom , will give it a go though.

it is tough, i have no experience in this, and i tried, ive pm'd a couple of people and awaiting some responses, but i cant see it happening in the sense that it may not be possible to do the upgrade while in bootloader..
but . . . . the mission continues
hi!
Currently there is no way to make a backup other than with pdocread.exe from itsme (istutils). You can make a backup of the OS, SPL, GSM and Extended ROM with it. The problem begins with flashing it back, I'm still trying to figure out how to do it when the phone is fully functional, there is no way to do it when you r phone is stuck in bootloader mode. The only way would be by reconstructing a .nbh file. The problem is that none of the tools that can make a .nbh file work for the Artemis, because the use a wrong signature size. The one who can help us out here is pof but he is a VERY busy man.

Then how is possible that bepe could make a custom ROM for arthemis? I thought if you use nbhtool you can make custom ROM for arthemis, btw I posted a msg in original nbhtool post, about what parameters I need to introduce in order to make a fully operational ROM, because when I entered in bootloader mode, and using putty's tool to comunicate with PDA, my device return this msg:
cmd: getdevingo
ARTE10000 HTCE... (and in nbhtool, parameters are only ARTE1000 or ARTE1100)
Signature size when you decompresing a original NBH file is 128 (in original post some people talk about 1024, but when I cooked ROMs with 1024 I have an upgrade failure, and I must reboot PDA), but I really need to know if in nbhtool on Device I Must enter "ARTE10000" and in CID type "HTCE" or not...

and with regards to editing the css file..

should i replace all instances of %C and %P with "Memory Card"??
okies.. follow the steps and tried again.. this time it worked.. without editing the css file.. think the problem was i restarted the PPC even before i get any popout so this time i waited for a longer period of time till i get the popout. kudos to vibranze for this wonderful set of applications!

Side note.. if you have the same applications already installed.. it is preferred if u use the applications from the Tools folder.. The setup kinda deregistered some files in the original application installed thus resulting in it not working probably especially in TCPMP..

Hi All
I made some changes to 23088_Mega_WWE_3G by TAI (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=458456&highlight=core+21869)
Apps removed: iContact, FingerKeyboard, Skyfire and Showcase.
Changed couple of manila files:
-Removed clock background from homepage
-Changed manila slider and tab background
Changed splash screen (sample below)
Images are not mine, can't remember exactly where I got them from.
For the purpose I used ROMDonald kitchen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319970)
All credit goes to TAI (thank you for all the great ROMs).
Download ROM: http://rapidshare.com/files/415414292/23088_Mega_WWE_3G_Pharmakos.rar.html
In case you're looking to have Solitaire and BubbleBreaker, below the links for the cab files.
http://rapidshare.com/files/409328143/BubbleBreaker.cab.html
http://rapidshare.com/files/409242652/MSsolitaire.cab.html
Disclaimer: I flashed it to my device and so far has been working with no remarks for about a month now. However, use at your own risk.
Notes: After you flash, you should update weather from weather tab, once updated, go to: Start>Connections and click on "Weather". This is necessary for the weather info on homescreen to be updated, also if you don't do this before re-starting the device or before turning off, when you restart again manila won't load.
Recommendations:
1.This ROM has very low reception with radio 1.56.70.11, I recommend to use radio 1.47.30.10 (link available below).
2. If you do task 28 wit MTTY before flashing this ROM, please flash OEM Stripped AT&T and then flash 23088_Mega_WWE_3G (link available below).

Hi Pharmako,
thanks for your work.
Can You please tell me how to remove programs from the Dump folder?
I've dumped the ROM with ROMDonald kitchen but I can't find any if the files or packages (like Skyfire) I would like to remove.
A second question is:
once removed a program or package in necessary to edit the registry?
Many thanks in advance!
I am so going to try this.
Thank you.

Hi, the easiest approach is to go into the dump folder first and search the files you want to remove by name, also when you're changing the registry you will need to search for the applications you want to remove and remove the whole key with whatever strings and dwords they might be under it. Finally when you're editing the "initflashfiles.dat" you should remove from there as well any entries referring to applications you want to remove, also the info in "initflashfiles.dat" will give more detailed info on all the files which are components of the apps you wish to remove, this way you can go back to the dump folder and search and remove the unwanted files.
Hope this helps.

Well, if it is video calling that you're trying to use, to be honest I wasn't using it as my mobile provider is not too reliable with 3G. The only dialer I installed was PhoneEx and I was very happy with it.
As for Internet Explorer I wouldn't know as I prefer Opera. You might find an Opera Mini, personally I was using "OperaMini-4.2-small", whoever you may find the latest version "10".

Hi Pharmako,
I have a problem editing the registry.
I can easily convert the "default.hv" and "user.hv" files into "boot.rgu" files, but having opened the two "boot.rgu" and edited them with the notepad, even if I save them in "UNICODE" they change dimension end I have errors converting back to "user.hv" and "default.hv".
Even adding the first line "REGEDIT4" doesn't solve the problem.
Tried with WinXP notepae and also withe the "Notepad2"..
What is wrong?
Thanks

Hi eryunt,
I also had that issue. I thought that I had done something wrong along the way and I started the whole dumping, etc couple of times. Then finally I tried to first do all registry changes and then saving as > unicode. Meaning that I was first saving and then changing as described step by step in ROMDonald's manual.
So, bottom line: first do all changes to registry and then save as > unicode. And don't forget to add an extra line at the end of the text. Hope this works.

The problem is that in both ways I can't solve the problem.
First of all, is the line "REGEDIT4" on the top needed?
What I've noticed is that even the original boot.rgu, without any modification, can't be converted back into .hv file.
Looking at the text, after the modifications at the registry, when I save in UNICODE all blank lines disappear..
Moreover, when I open the boot.rgu file I already have a blank line at the bottom, I need to add another one?
Thanks Pharmako!

Hi eryunt, "REGEDIT4" on the top is definitely neeed and even though you see already a blank line, still you need to add another one (know from experience ).
One more thing, once you edit the file, re-open it and look for the following: at the start of the file you will notice that there is certain character space (blanks) between registry values and after many many lines, somehow this spacing thrend dissapears, what you need to do is carefully check till the end of the file and repeat the spacing thrend were needed (I wish I had made a screen shot of this). You should be able to convert then without any further issues.
Please accept my apologies for not mentioning it before, but to be honest it kind of escaped my memmory in my previous post.
Wish you luck and if there's anything else I could help with, please let me know.
Hello there,
just for your info - maybe it helps somebody:
after some days of trying i found the shortmessages (with tel-number etc.) and some other stuff in a file:
1. Explore your phone with Windows Phone Device Manager
2. goto \Application Data\
3. Add "\Microsoft" to the path (under the file-explorer logo)
4. goto Outlook\Stores\DeviceStore
5. Rename "store.vol" to something like "store.vol.txt" (it is mandatory to rename this file - without this step the file is in use by outlook)
6. extract it (drag n drop)
7. run perl script (#perl test.pl store.vol.txt)
8. See output
Maybe one of you could build a backup application or something like that!
Link to perl script:
http://uploaded.to/file/he26q0d2
Original source of script:
http://www.pocketpcjunkies.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/pocketpc-dev/21040/Reading-pim-vol-EDB-File-on-a-PC
Edit:
Don't know if you've seen it:
\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Stores\DeviceStore\data
ALL emails and other messages + contact-pictures + signature (three sizes) (just edit the file extension to .html or .jpeg - hex edit helps to find what is right )
\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
-> TabsStorage.bin: Opened tabs from internet explorer (where are the cookies?! )
\Applications\Data\82A23635-5BD9-DF11-A844-00237DE2DB9E\Data\IsolatedStore
ALL Facebook-Information (if app is installed), including messages, pictures, notifications etc. etc.
\Application Data\Location\Cache
Wifi & GSM Data when features is enabled in WP7-preferences (encrypted?! don't know..)
Much more to come...

Thanks! Looks interesting, I might try that!
Hey just wondering but does syncing with outlook have the option to sync texts? Only reason I wonder is because you said that file was in use by outlook....

Hey,
i just THINK it's in use
If you look at this file without renaming it's at 0,00 KB and you can't extract it. Maybe the contacts-tile or something else is using it
Hi Endeffekt,
thank you for this great hint!
But one more question before I try. Is it possible, to rename the file after the procedure back to "store.vol" without losing the messages on the phone?

WP7 creates a copy of this file (automatic), so no problemo sir
Great! Alle messages are there. But the script doesnt work for me.
Now we need a smart developer who can make a viewer for it.
Is there a way to copy the vol file back to the phone? Or is the file always locked? For restore reasons...
I think this is very interesting (possibility to backup/restore SMS), so probably we should keep it on the front page so the devs could notice it.
Has anybody tried to restore that store.vol into the device after a reset? I mean rename the current store.vol to any filename, then copy the backed up store.vol to the phone and restart.
I'd like to try but i need to get hold all my current sms!

I think this is very interesting (possibility to backup/restore SMS), so probably we should keep it on the front page so the devs could notice it.

Hint: it's an EBD database (like other files too)
Don't know if you've seen it:
\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Stores\DeviceStore\data
ALL emails and other messages + contact-pictures + signature (three sizes) (just edit the file extension to .html or .jpeg - hex edit helps to find what is right )
\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
-> TabsStorage.bin: Opened tabs from internet explorer (where are the cookies?! )
\Applications\Data\82A23635-5BD9-DF11-A844-00237DE2DB9E\Data\IsolatedStore
ALL Facebook-Information (if app is installed), including messages, pictures, notifications etc. etc.
\Application Data\Location\Cache
Wifi & GSM Data when features is enabled in WP7-preferences (encrypted?! don't know..)

Has anybody tried to restore that store.vol into the device after a reset? I mean rename the current store.vol to any filename, then copy the backed up store.vol to the phone and restart.

SMS retreival on Windows phone 7 using device manager
Hey all.
I have an Samsung Omnia phone 7. Dev unlocked. Running 7.0.7004.0
Anyone any idea how to view the file in question? I need to download this file, and save the SMS entries to my PC.
When I use device manager, I cant see a folder called
\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Stores\DeviceStore
I mean, when I copy and paste the above text into the path, its just beeps and doesnt show anything.
On the root under file explorer, I have
My Documents (which is empty)
Windows (lots of files in it)
-ActiveSync
-Application Data
--KeyStorage
-AppMgr
-ColdInit
-eventlog
and a few others
When I open the Application Data folder, I only have a 'Key Storage' (certainly no Microsoft folder, and I tried typing it incase it was hidden or something , but just a ping sound and no refresh of the file list)
and when I open Key Storage, I have no files.
Any help working out why I cant see these folders / store.vol file would be very much appreciated
Does Windows Phone Device Manager not support this functionality on the Omnia?
Thanks
this should be a sticky, and testers needed
Using the diagnosis code 5**6244*3
I was able to open the Apps Launcher and Shortcuts Menu and can confirm that the path \Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Stores\DeviceStore exists on my Focus.
In that folder, I have:
temp
0
4
6
3
19
8
Each of these folders has a list of single alpha named folders (a, b, c, d, e, etc...)
Each of these alpha folders has a single .dat file
I haven't tried to extract those files to try to play with them. I don't know how I would with the Focus... But just confirming the path exists on my Focus and has the .dat files
thank you munkeyphyst, still waiting for endeffekt

I've checked out all the EDB recovery/readers on teh net and cannot open one of these "edb" files from the phone.
if anyone knows the architecture of the file, I can parse it and have a program ready quickly.
some talk about EDB
