I unhid the ext_rom using:
[HKLM\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
Bootphase=dword:2
[HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
MountHidden=dword:0
At first I saw ext_rom folder with a few files on it ... I tried to copy them to my micro sd card but recieved an error message saying they are write protected... I tried copying those files again to my computer but my artemis hanged... now I soft reset... i can still see the ext_folder with the files on it... then i soft reset again after that, no more files in the ext_rom folder... I decided to do a hard reset but after that Tomtom did not install...
I know I did not unlock the ext_rom prior to unhiding it...
I managed to unhide ext_rom folder again and clicked on properties.. it shows Total space=14.91Mb, Used=6.24Mb, Free=8.67Mb... I still dont see the files in it...
I guess its still there and it just doesnt auto install after hard reset... how do I activate it again???
Pleas help!
Prior to the program disapearing did you update the TomTom software to vesion 6,030 - Since doing this my Artemis refuses to auto install from the ROM following a hard reset, to install I either locate the Autorun file on the memory card, or connect up via the TomTom Home application which should find the device and offer the update/ installation - Mike

Yes I did... the original installation was 6.020... so i updated to 6.030... have you tried Unhiding your ext_rom?
What else is in the ext_rom anyway? is there any important file in there?
No I have not messed around with the external ROM (yet) - as you have TT 6,030 is there a file on your memory card to install the application? - if not simply fire up TomTom Home on the PC with the Artemis connected and it will install what you need - Mike

Yes I did use tt home to reinstall tt navigator back to my Artemis...
So far my artemis works perfect... but still Im not happy with the ext_rom not showing the files...
Does anyone know how to re-enable the ext_rom to install after hard reset???
Howdy,
Did a search but didn't find topic?
First mistake, Dnloaded and installed latest AT&T 6 Rom to me Hermes!
Second mistake, have Vista Home Prem (ugh!) Build 6000, and
had Windows Mobile Device Center installed and worked on Win Mobile 5. Could copy and paste files to SD card!
Installed on the new Rom, now I tick WMDC > Connect > GO to SD card > to paste file / app etc and get billies
"The copy and paste has failed. The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected!"
Even tho I can see files on SD card on laptop!
So I uninstall billies WMCD reboot laptop and reinstall WMCD and same error!
Now I can see the files on the SD Card, move the files around on the SD Card but no copy to SD card??????? I don't have a card reader as I used Win 5 and didn't need another reader!
Any suggestions, workarounds (besides getting rid of billies silly junk.)
Help please!

Hey thanks and fast reply,
I will try formatting sd card if I can find a way to back it up to something!
Does anyone know of a free online Back up site that I could back up sc card with Sktools bkup?
WOW have to much great stuff on it from xda forums!
I rally don't mean to add an off topic situation, but this also started when I installed the AT&T Rom. . .
The other problem that I just found out is that the sound is on, I can hear WM player out of device, but don't have sound for Skype with or w/o headset. As I can connect to call, hear the mic on called phone, the caller hears me but I don't hear the called sound on device or head set???? Im using fling and am connected with wifi, to Skype!
At least it's charging off usb sync, which is one thing that works!
If I can't discuss anothe problem with this New Rom here please move to right place and send a forward!
I really like this board, so I don't want to do anything wrong!
Thanks
Hey there,
I did a defrag SD card NO work!
Than I did a format
Connected (thats what it says but not what it does) and copy and past NO go. . . same error!
Tried to install Sk Tools, (from pc to device as before) and no go, same error of disconnected or what ever? And since I can't do a restore form pc to device, no copy, than None of my SD base apps work, Sk Tools, fling, etc!
So is the SD corrupt!
I vista corrupt (that's a dumb Q)?
Is WMCD corrupt that was working before my new Hard Drive replacement!
Or what?
Oh yea thank you for any replys!
I am also have the same problem.
Hello to all,
I am also have the same problem. Not with the sd card but with the build-in memory. I have installed the windows vista with WMDC 6.0.
I think this problem is with the OS or with the WMDC 6.0.
Because I have an another pc with windows xp installed and there is NO problem with it. Copy and past will work perfect.
I having HTC Wizard that is qtek 9100 with WM6, NBD 9.2 installed.
If any one find the solution please let me know also.
Also conection via bluetooth to WMDC 6.0 it also not possible trying to find the solution but no luck . It will work in fine with winxp but not with the vista.
Please help.........
Many Thanks

Madefree,
I would suggest a couple of things:
- flash a different rom to your device, eg a WM 6.0 from Schaps.
- review the MrVANX guides (www.mrvanx.org).
Let us know how you get on.

Thanks wacky banana,
Well at least I know its not the SD card as I tried another with the same irritating gates error message!
I uninstalled and reinstalled WMDC three times and still no file transfer> I have to do any transfers with a cardreader! So I don't know if I can do an upgrade on the ROM as I really want to (as ATT 6 was really a downgrade!)
Thanks. . . .
I went to that link and they are upgrading the site. The following is stated at the ever begining . . .
.....Now make sure your device is on and activesync (or for vista users the WMDC) is running on your PC, connect up your device and allow it to sync. When this is done run "RUUWrapper.exe":.....
RUUWrapper.exe wasn't a link to a download so I guess "searching" is on really first on the "how to" list!
Thanks for the links and the reply, greatly appreciate any and all help at this point!
Have a good one!
How to upgrade my Qtek 9100 (HTC Wizard)?
Hello,
Sorry I wrote wrong ROM version. It is NBD 9.2 installed, NOT NBD 9.3.
Thanks
Srikanth.k
Well DUH ATT 6 allowed me to copy to a file, but only to inside the SD card from the PC but not to the card directly (root) w/o a folder to put it in!
Active Sync works but not DUH WMDC (whatever) crashed twice in one day so Im stick with clicking on My PC > than on HTC device, than Active Sync works better than DUH other option billy made!
It's a vista thing all DUH way!
Hey wacky banana took you fine advice and downladed Schaps.WWM 6.1 Pro FULL ROM and with the excellent RRU packed with it got RID of ATT's "stuff"
Still can't transfer to root of SD, unless I do it thru a cardreader, but at least I don't have DUH branded bulk! Just need to delete (turn off duh startup sounds, so everyone around don't growl at me when I reboot!
Mighty fine ROM thx for the suggestion . . . . gotta do a donate!
Later!
Copy file worked!
Hello
The problem was with the K-a-s-p-e-r-s-k-y AV that I was been installed. It was blocking me to copy the files to my PDA. When I uninstalled the app it worked perfect without any errors.
Please anyone know which is the best antivirus.....
Thanks to all.......

Hi
I have the following Car PC A2270P from Roadrover ( http://www.roadrover.cn/E/productshow.asp?id=49&mnid=19046 ).
Tech specs :
- CPU 400MHZ (manufacturer unknown)
- 128 MB DDR RAM
- 128 MB NAND Flash
- Windows CE 5.0 ( as written in the user manual )
It has a USB port (that reads only flash USB)
It has a SD slot
In the shipped SD 1 GB card, a GPS Navigation application Route66 was included "Navigate7.exe". It is launched by pressing "NAVI" button
Once installed in my car, I found that Windows mobile was "locked" .
Only *.txt and audio and video files can be browsed and executed.
I can not install any additional application on the SD card.
In the SD card I tried the following :
- added dll included in "packdllxania.zip"
- added GSFinder.exe (file explorer), renamed it "Navigate7.exe" instead of the Route66 application.
- Pressed the "NAVI" button hoping that GSFinder will be launched instead of the GPS application. But I got an error message saying that the GPS application could not start
Do you have any idea how to :
- backup the installed Windows and applications
- unlock the installed Windows in order to have a "real" Car PC on which I can install my programs
Thanks for your help
try to get ITaskMgr, rename it to Autorun.exe and move into "2577" dir on SD card. Insert card after boot process. You will need select Process tab and terminate any app which look like carsystem menu
Sorry for this delay, but it is not very convenient to transport laptop to the parking in order to do the experiments in my car.
Anyhow, I tried the following with TaskMgr for WinWM2003SE
- with a new SD card : created directory 2577 and copied in it TaskMgr.exe, renamed it to Autorun.exe, inserted it in the Car PC, started it : nothing happened, the normal choice menu appeared as usual. I pressed the button "NAVI" and had the message "enter activation code". It seems that only the original SD card can be used.
- with the original SD card : created directory 2577 and copied in it TaskMgr.exe, renamed it to Autorun.exe, inserted it in the Car PC, started it : nothing happened, the normal choice menu appeared as usual.
Then, I copied TaskMgr in the root, renamed it "Navigate7.exe" (original GPS program" then pressed the button "NAVI" and had the message "could not launch GPS application".
It seems that the Car PC vendor deactivated the boot from the SD card.
Do you have any other suggestion ?
Do you have any idea how Windows mobile was locked in that case ?
I checked the different connections in the back of the Car PC, none suggests a USB connection equivalent to the one used to connect to a laptop via ActiveSynch.
Is there is any program or trick that can bypass the default start menu ?
In the past, I had a Medion GPS with WinCE4. I found a method on Internet to unlock it by accessing from a Laptop, via ActiveSynch, to the internal files and applications. By modifying the default application, I was able to install other programs.
For my Car PC, do you know how to access to the internal files ?
As I have a CD-DVD reader in my Car PC, do you think that I can use a bootable CD ? Does it exist for Windows Mobile ?
Hello!

Hello guys,
I own an HTC HD2.
I am looking for a windows mobile car pc (Din 1, DVD, GPS, BT, USB, 7 inch touch screen...) because I don't want to wait 1-2 minutes for the boot up of an XP-baed car-pc.
1) Do you recommend any WM car-PCs?
2) If there is no such a device, what is the best car-Pc that I can use by hacking it in order to be able to install other wm softwares such as google maps, games, dictionnaries etc ?
3) What is the optimal case for me since I already own the HTC HD2 in conjunction with my future car-pc (the HD2 does not support video-out).
Since I am new into this world and need some guidance...
Thank you in advance
welcome!
I have No name car unit (like FVpower 1 din)
Sound look like low cost radio car. (I lost all bass )
CD reader on unit is the same like 24,99€ DVD player.
If you use gps unit, you can find somme software who can play MP3 with good equiltzer.
soud is better with that.
I don't know for good unit (pionner, LG or other...) but the WINCE of unit do an HARD RESET when you turn of unit. (I did good plug, +12 and ingnation) maybe the CR2032 battery is out..
I have to start a Mortscript all time if i want show the desktop (Desktop without shortcut...)
So don't worry, good new, Time of GPS fix is very quickly! ( 10sec Max)
Bye
I had a similar issue with the hp ipaq 310 some time ago - my process is outlined here:
http://tamsppc.tamoggemon.com/2008/08/07/the-great-ipaq-310-jailbreak/
However, there is not much to gain here in most cases: windows ce.net NOT windows mobile...
Take a good quality mainstream car DVD audio or AV player, and add screens as you need. Go for mainstream brands and not cheap stuff. There is a quality difference, and auto electronics lifetime is greater than consumer electronics stuff, where the life is assumed to be 18-24 months within which you get the new generation to keep the gravy train rolling. Cars, on the other hand would use an audio system for about 5 years, so it needs to be better engineered..
Hope it would be helpful.
RoadRover all-in-one in-dash Chinese GPS Unit
I also have a RoadRover GPS unit. The unit functions well. I am very pleased with it.
However, for example, some pop-up screens do not stay visible for long enough before reverting back to the main window.
The iPod screen enables you to connect to the iPod. You can then press a button and the Song/Track/Album titles are displayed. You can then use some arrows to scroll down the window. Unfortunately the pop-up windows has a limited life. You do not get long enough to read what is in the window before it disappears. You then have to repeat the rigmarole again and again trying to get to the bottom of the screen before it disappears.
I would like to change this behaviour if possible.
I have loaded MioPocket and tried it out. But I prefer ceFFM .
My question is this.
How can I copy the OEM software over to a memory card?
I would like to use a winCE emulator (like this one) and try to learn what the OEM software does and then modify it.
to OP:
I vaguely seem to remember rooting Win CE based GPS a while ago. The method was similar to what was suggested about Autorun.exe.
I remember having exactly same problem.
The solution was to realize that the unit run from another directory, not the one I was patching. The directory content was the same or very similar, but the actual runtime file structure was created froma directory I didn't look at at first.
So, look around. May-be search for a directory name or a file name, and see if you can find it buried within some other seemingly obscure directory. Good luck.

Thanks. Good advice.
I discovered, running ceFFM, that the unit stores some files in places called StaticStore as well as NAND Flash. NAND Flash I think is where ceFFM has saved its files because I found a folder with that name there. Inside is a folder called installation.
On the other hand StaticStore contains 4 folders. Namely
App
D2280
P1.0-MV2.0-TV1-302A-R
pp12060063650000
The last two folders are empty so must be placeholders or something.
App contains 4 executables- docviewer.exe, pdfviewer.exe, presviewer.exe,XLS.EXE. Self explanatory. There also 21 dll files here as well with cryptic names that seem to be associated with the 4 executables. I get this!
D2280 contains 6 folders ; Fonts, Photo,PLAYER,Poem,Skins,Telephone. It also contains a number of executables;
DebugLog.exe ... a debugger I guess!
DVDPlayer.exe ... DVD player
Go.exe ... a game
iPod.exe ... the iPod app
Manager.exe ... this one loads the GUI. I have managed to load it in all its glory in the emulator.
Mp3Player.exe ... mp3 player
NoteBook.exe ... notebook app
Othello.exe ... a game I think
PhotoViewer.exe ... an image viewer
Radio.exe ... the radio app
SysSet.exe ... I think it sets up where the naviagtor software is located.
Telephone.exe ... to sync with the mobile phone.
As well as these 12 programs/executables/Apps there are 9 DLL files, 1 LANG.EXP, 4 ini files, 1 GUI.DLL.txt file (certificate signer?)
I was hoping to find an iPod ini file.
I don't know if the DLL files can be examined, but none seem to have any reference to the iPod app.
Stumped.
