Good Luck, Jeff
Or you could just make sure 2330f3c3_manila is read only, then install weather database. Add locations and do a soft reset.
Worked for me on Sprint... Maybe I'm missing something extra you're doing though?
I searched different sites and some people had success and others not with what your suggesting. I did what was posted in my quest for getting my location to work. Its' a whole lot of extra work but it does work.
Could you post the link for the DL of the program you're using? Thanks.

I've got the T-Mobile TP2, but had the same problem - when first run, the weather database editor couldn't unlock the database.
Here's what I did (very simple...)
a) Connect via ActiveSync, explore (from the PC) to the \Windows folder on the TP2
b) Copy the file 2330fc3c_manilla from the TP2 to the PC (note, the file _2330fc3c_manilla doesn't seem to exist on the T-Mobile device, but isn't needed for changing Cities)
c) On the PC, remove the readonly flag
d) Copy the file back into the Windows folder on the TP2
e) Run Weather Database Editor, add my City, close the editor
f) Soft reset the TP2
g) In Manilla, use the normal method to add the new city to the tab
One thing to note - in step e), you don't have to use the 'weather code' from Accuweather - I found that just making sure I completed the country, state and city fields - and then adding the US zip code as the 'Accu Weather Code' worked great.
I used the WeatherDatabaseEditor 1.2 CAB to install, on a stock US T-Mobile ROM
Hope this helps

I had the same problems with Weather Database as well. This is why I went thru the efforts on the start of this post. Having said that, installed the Weather Database again and .net 3.5 compact framework. It didn't work as LifeStealer and thefixer pointed out the manila file was read only. I thank all those for the information and Popdog54 at sprintmogul.net for shedding light on the subject. I will leave my post the way it is as an alternative (lengthy but alternative) way to change/add cities. Again thanks.

I did this on my Verizon TP2 and it worked great. I used the 'country|state|city' code from AccuWeather rather than zip (didn't try zip).

I just tried this method as well, also on a Verizon TP2, but I'm unable to save back the modified (read only removed) file to \Windows. I get the error: "Cannot copy 2300fcc_manila: Access is denied. Make sure your mobile device has sufficient memory, that the file is not set as read-only, and that you have permission to copy this file type"
Any thoughts?
I'm on sprint so... obviously sprint made a special TP2 just for me.
Oh wait thats not it.
If its read only then make it not read only. Simple I didn't even transfer over, I just copied from folder to SD -> removed flag -> pasted back on top of the old one.
*shrug*
You can always shut down TF3D if you want.

'Admin Policy' is a little-known feature of Microsoft PocketPC that was built mainly for security-aware corporate customers. It allows one to lock a PocketPC device in a mode that no longer display a 'run' dialog, disallows the addition of external programs via ActiveSync or through Internet Explorer, disallows renaming of files to .exe and disallows remote changes to the registry through 'RapiRegMod'.
To be able to play with 'Admin Policy', on most PPCs one has to rename the registry value 'Redirect' in the registry at '\HKLM\Controlpanel\AdminPassword' to something else. Then go to 'Settings' / 'System' and look for the 'Policy' applet.
To enter the 'Secure Mode' the user has to enter a password, and the same password needs to be entered if the user is to leave again. The unicode representation of this password (0x0000 appended) is hashed using MD5 and placed in the binary value 'AdminInfo' in '\HKLM\Security\Policies\Shell' (on WM2003) or '\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Shell' (on PPC2002).
However, they forgot to move the DWORD value 'NoExternalExes' (set to one when the Admin Policy is on) from the old to the new spot in the registry, and so the whole system just doesn't work on WM2003: you can still move binaries to the device and run them.
It still claims it works: it says:
Once enabled, users will not be able to download new programs via Pocket Internet Explorer, ActiveSync, or beaming to their mobile device. Users will not be able to rename programs to enable them to start on the device.
Click to expand...

But that's Not True (tm) until you manually add the 'NoExternalExes' value.
This has been a public service announcement from XDA-developers.com.
We should post all the fixes the have been found for wm6 on the dash here to make it easier to find....
Reminder FIX:
From RandyRants.com:
Step 1: Make a change to your Normal profile. Raise the volume of some alert or something. Change something to get the device to create the following file: \Application Data\Profiles\Normal.prof.xml
Step 2: Connect via ActiveSync on XP or WMDC on Vista and copy this file to your desktop.
Step 3: Edit this XML file - add the following blurb to the SoundCategories section:
<characteristic type="Reminder">
<parm name="Script" value="v0p" />
<parm name="InitVol" value="4" />
</characteristic>
Step 4: Save this file on your PC.
Step 5: Set the System flag on this file. You can do this with a right click on the file and setting the properties or via a command prompt: attrib +s normal.prof.xml.
Step 6: Now copy it back to \Application Data\Profiles
I posted this to another thread, but the steps have changed... seems that if you don't have the System attribute set on the profile XML files before moving them to the phone it renders them useless. It also seems that on Vista with WMDC it keeps the attributes fine (inspite of having to change the OS to even see the files) but on XP/2003 with ActiveSync the System flag is removed when the file comes from the phone.
Either way, good luck with it!

Bluetooth Voice Command Fix:
WM6 Voice Command 1.6
Voice Command is a very powerful program that will allow you to control your WM6 Excalibur with your voice.
* Hands-free phone
* Dial your phone by voice using the phone number
* Contact lookup
* View contacts with a voice command
* Have the subject, time, and location of upcoming appointments read to you
* Media player
* Program starter
* Device Status
Enable Voice Command
Start > Voice Command
Voice Enabled > Yes
Announcement Routing > Bluetooth if Available
This setting will allow Voice Command to use the Excalibur phone speaker to respond to vocal commands, if you don't have a bluetooth headset connected.
IMPORTANT: Soft Reset to enable the changes to Voice Command
After the soft reset, press and hold the home key. This is the default Record Application Button which activates Voice Command. When you hear the beep say, "Help". Voice command will then guide you through the available voice commands.
IMPORTANT: Do not talk directly into the microphone. Hold the phone 4 inches/100mm from your voice. The response from Voice Command will take a few seconds.
A Voice Command tutorial from Microsoft is here.
Enable Voice Command with a Bluetooth Headset
With the current beta release of WM6, you need to modify the following registry settings to use your bluetooth headset with this feature.
NOTE: Your Excalibur has to be application unlocked to make modifications to the registry.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule
The string value needs to be changed from "OEMAGW.dll" to "\Windows\vcbthag.dll".
IMPORTANT: Soft Reset to enable the changes to Voice Command
After the phone reboots, your bluetooth headset will now be able to use Voice Command by pressing the button on your headset. Wait for the beep, then speak the command.
Viel Spaß mit Voice Command,

Thanks for the fixes. Unfortunately, none of the work for me. I have the files unhidden and apparently no files appear in my App Data/Profiles folder when modifying any of the profiles.
Also, when trying to add a new key to the GDI registry folder, I get an error message saying I can't do so. I'm using Resco Explorer's registry editor btw.

My friend I had the very same problem you are having now. The reason you are getting that error message is because, your wm6 ROM got corrupted some how. what I did was, reinstall the clean wm5 ROM all over again, after that, I reinstall the new wm6 official upgrade Rom and also you will have to application unlock your device all over again! Now everything will work fine!
Reminder FIX - doesn work.
The reminder fix doesn't seem to work with the release version of WM6 for the Dash.
In fact, if you do this mod, you woun't be able to switch to "Normal" profile.
It seems if the OS determines that the profile's XML file is inavlid in some way, it will refuse to load it, and this mod seems to be invalid to the OS.
This is a BIG bug with the dash (no reminder volume setting) - I hope they release a patch for it.
UPDATE: I just found and read the full version of this fix (where you need to change the "system" attribute) and it actually now does work. I am going to try to create a CAB file to do the patch so users won't have to do all the copy to/from their PC.
UPDATE: See this page for the CAB file - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1271705#post1271705
Does anyone know how to ensure that your time is always in sync with your Exchange server? I never had this problem with WM5 but since I have upgraded my Dash's internal clock seems to have gone cuckoo. If I turn it off, and turn it back on my Dash thinks it's the same time that I turned it off at. It's like the clock just stops (would be nice if it happened in real life!)
Barring a fix, does anyone know of a utility that syncs WM time with a time server over the net using SNTP?
Edit: I found this:

see thats why we use the wiki, so you don't need to bump
Somehow when copying back edited profile files, it does not retain System attribute on the flag, which, as already mentioned earlier, renders profiles unsuable.
Here is a simple workaround that I came across:
1) On your phone, open Vibrate profile for editing. Change something and save. This will force it to create the Meeting.Prof.xml profile file in the Profiles folder.
2) From ActiveSync, navigate to that folder on your phone and rename the file to Normal.Prof.xml
Now you can go back to your phone, open Normal profile for editing and the Reminder option will be there.
Hope this helps.
Unable to change profile
Unable to change profile?
Delete files in Application Data/Home/Profiles
then go to Start - Settings - Profiles
Switch to your desired Profile or re-customize your settings on every profile that you want
**xxxx.prof.xml files in Application Data/Home/Profiles contains the customizations made on every profile, example if you have only customized the Normal profile, normal.prof.xml will be automatically generated at Application Data/Home/Profiles.So deleting the xx.prof.xml file will revert the profile customization back to default.

Massive Fail.
You've got the time to throw all of what's in your original post together, you've got time to append it to a wiki.
/Massive Fail.
I have succeeded in:
- downloading the Foxtel Mobile TV Guide
- making it work on my HTC Touch HD
- stopping it from prompting me for "permissions" every time it runs.
- creating a direct shortcut to the application
This allows me to send remote-record instructions to my Foxtel iQ2 set top box, just like on the "supported" handsets, such as the Nokia N95.
(I've cross-posted this information to an existing thread on forums.whirlpool.net.au, where there are probably more Aussies asking about it. But I thought I should also post here, because xda-developers has more people interested in adjusting permissions in Jbed's "selector.utf".)
The following worked with Jbed 20080418.2.1 on the HTC Touch HD. I am not entirely sure whether that is the version which came on my handset originally, but if you have a problem with the version you're using, you can try to find the version I'm using via a Google/forum search.
Step 1. Register for the Foxtel TV Guide on your computer, and make sure it's working from a normal PC browser:
https://www.foxtel.com.au/EPG/EPG.aspx
Step 2. Send the text message "Guide" to 19 955 955 from the handset, as per the instructions at the following webpage:
http://www.foxtel.com.au/mobile/get-started.htm
(Cost: $0.55 according to that web page.)
You will shortly receive an SMS message with a URL to download the software, but if you try to download it on your handset, you will probably get an error message saying that your handset is unsupported.
Step 3. Change a web browser's "agent string" to match one of the supported handsets' agent string, then use the URL on the SMS message to download the software.
I used Firefox, and changed my agent string to:
Mozilla/5.0 (SymbianOS/9.2; U; Series60/3.1 NokiaN95_8GB/10.0.021; Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 ) AppleWebKit/413 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/413
as quoted on the following web page:
http://www.leytonjay.co.uk/internet...kia-n95-8gb-user-agent-string-default-browser
Using the instructions on this page:
http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2004/04/24/changinguseragent.html
(I removed the "general.useragent.override" setting afterwards, to change Firefox back to normal.)
The file you download will be a ".jad" file.
Step 4. Copy the ".jad" file onto the handset, using ActiveSync, etc.
Step 5. On the handset, run the Jbed "Java" program, and choose Menu->Install->Local Files to locate the .jad file, and install it.
At this stage, you have installed the Foxtel Mobile TV Guide, but you might not be able to use it. On the HTC Touch HD, you do not have any built-in keyboard, or any directional buttons, and something needs to be done to work around it.
Step 6. If you don't have a directional pad on your pocket pc, then install a utility to re-map your volume buttons to fulfil the role of the directional pad. I installed AE-Button Plus, and used the following settings for my HTC Touch HD:
Volume Up:
1: Press Up arrow key
2: Press Left arrow key
3: Press Enter
Long: Press Left SoftKey
Volume Down:
1: Press Down arrow key
2: Press Right arrow key
3: Press Enter
Long: Press Right SoftKey
You may choose to use a different utility, as long as you can access up/down/left/right/enter and have a "hardware" way of accessing the soft-keys, which will be invisible.
http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
Step 7. Run "Java" and launch the "Foxtel TV Guide" application. You will probably need to give it several permissions manually, because we haven't done anything about that, yet.
In order to perform a "remote record", you will need to enter your Foxtel TV Guide user guide and password, the same as for the normal web browser interface. But, Jbed won't let you access a SIP, and if you might not have a physical keyboard. You will need to use some software to control your handset from your PC.
I used EveryWAN Remote Support Personal Edition 3.0:
http://www.sparus-software.com/spip.php?page=download&lang=en
In the Foxtel Java application, press the Left SoftKey, to bring up the "Actions" menu. You can do this via your remote control program, or use your remapped buttons. Choose "Settings", then "Account Settings".
Now you have to enter your Foxtel username and password using the remote control software as a keyboard. However, it's not as simple as typing "a", "b", "c", etc. The application expects you to ONLY use digit keys, like on a simple phone. So, for "a" you might press "2" once, "b" = hit "2" twice in quick succession, etc. It's a pain, but you should only have to do it once, and it'll remember your settings.
By this stage, you should be able to launch and control the Foxtel Mobile TV Guide with your remapped buttons, and because you've entered your username and password, you can ask your iQ/iQ2 to record something from your phone, and it'll do it.
IF you want to get rid of the annoying prompts for permission on startup: (technical, and your mileage may vary)
Step 8. Find the files "selector.utf" on your handset, and copy it to your PC. Mine is in \Esmertec Java\AppDb, but yours might be in \Windows\AppDb. Make backups, both on your PC and on your handset, in case you do something wrong.
Step 9. Download a Hex editor for your PC, and edit "selector.utf".
I used "HexEdit":
http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~prewett/hexedit/
The first two bytes of the file determine exactly how many bytes follow. My file was 397 bytes long, so the first two bytes were "01 8B" = 395. The first two bytes don't count. The java program should be happy with "selector.utf" as long as the correct length is given.
The Foxtel application is installed with a setting/line "domain=midp1", but we need to change it to "domain=tckmax". That's exactly one byte longer, so, use your hex editor to increase the length by 1. In my case, that meant changing the first two bytes from "01 8B" to "01 8C".
Save and exit.
Next, open the file up with a normal editor. Hopefully you can use notepad, but I used "vi", which may not be available on your computer. Change "domain=midp1" to "domain=tckmax", save, and exit.
Step 10. Overwrite "selector.utf" on your handset with your edited version, and run Java again, and launch the Foxtel TV Guide application. Hopefully, it will now run without prompting you for any permission any more.
Step 11. You can make a direct shortcut to the Foxtel TV Guide application if you like, so you don't have to run "Java" and then select it manually any more. If you look at "selector.utf" again, there is a parameter "root=XXXX". In my case, the Foxtel TV Guide root is "s2_". It depends on which order you install your Java applications.
Using Resco File Explorer, copy the Java shortcut from \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ and create a link "Foxtel" in the same directory. Then, tap-and-hold on it and choose "Properties", then the "Shortcut" tab. In the "target" field, append the string:
-run XXXX
where XXXX is the root of your Foxtel application. Don't forget to use a space to seperate "-run" from whatever comes before.
I hope this information is useful to someone. I tried following all sorts of tutorials for removing the permissions prompts, but most threads are focussed on Java Gmail/Opera applications, and they never worked for this Foxtel software. They key was, the Foxtel application installs itself in the "midp1" domain, and in order to change that to "tckmax", which is one extra byte, and I had to change the two-byte header of the file.
Edit: Addendum: The application looks like it'd be happier on a QVGA device, and I had some problems scrolling through the list of all channels in WVGA mode. It's more functional if I use WVGAFIX3 to set the resolution to VGA 480x640 before I run it.
I just installed this file: View attachment 156767 which allows me to watch foxtel on my xperia and also allows me to view the foxtel tv guide through telstra's business portal (free to browse) and set up programs to record on my IQ2.
Works like a charm.
Special thanks to thedeva who posted this file in another thread.
Thanks tls,
will add this to my shortcut list!
will this work if you're with a different mobile carrier other than telstra or does it use the telstra portal?
i had it working on '3'!
On a separate note, my JBlend got corrupted and im trying to figure out how to install/restore it.
Hi all,
When I click on a favorite as a file in explorer (windows\favorites), I get Opera open up but in the address bar, I just get a location of the file rather than the web page that the file points to.
Hopefully that makes sense!
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks

Come on guys.....
I've found this and if you go down the list and find \urlfile\Shell\Open\Command : REG_SZ it shows the necessary registry entry that is needed to run a url file from explorer and when run this file opens within IE correctly.
There must be a command switch that follows OPERA9.EXE or OPERAL.EXE that interprets the file correctly and opens the web page.
For now I've got it set to open files in to IE. Not great but nearly what I want.
HI all
maybe its wise to start a new thread how to make an offline package for our phones
especially because of these info :
Microsoft begins to block Windows 10 Mobile updates for the majority of Windows phones
https://mspoweruser.com/microsoft-begins-block-windows-10-mobile-updates-majority-windows-phones/
https://mspoweruser.com/only-13-windows-phones-will-get-the-windows-10-creators-update/
My question is :
-how to make an offline install able upgrade/update package for our phones ( fiddler i think )
-how to update the phone with all the cabs downloaded ( uitool.exe ?? )
What i know .. first install old firmware on your phone , install fiddler on your pc and download from your phone thats connected to the fiddler proxy your files.
Can one of you guys make a SIMPLE instruction how to download these CAB files from microsoft ? and how to configure fiddler in this case
The last question ...
What i know ... use uitool.exe to "upload" / install these downloaded cab files ( through fiddler ) on you phone.
Can one of you guys make a SIMPLE instruction how to install these cab files ???
I think i can speak for a lot of people with the same question.
Now i have to google/use xda search to find what i need but all the threads are old an out-dated or have old information.
Many thanks in advance !!!

That's one way:
- you set up a sniffing proxy on your PC (like Fiddler or Paros)
- configure it to record, maybe even save a copy, of the data it passes through
- flash a rom with WDRT to uninstall updates and start from a known and replicable point, configure a network with your proxy ASAP, and just let it download updates to have a list of cabs to redownload (or even the files themselves, again I'm not terribly familiar) on your PC!
OR you can go to the Microsoft Update Catalog with a non-IE browser, search for a W10M update pack (suggested search string: "000-ru") and from there you can get a list of every single cab for the version you selected!
In fact you will find even cabs not applicable to your phone (indeed you've probably heard of this method from the "download continuum/reset protection to unsupported models" topics), plus there may be a sequence to respect (for instance you can't flash RS3 directly from WP8, as some versions - TH2 in this example - add support for new update formats ["servicing stacks", you may have seen in PC updates])

This part is easy: you indeed download iutool (from some "windows sdk" download from Microsoft, or a portable version from some interop unlock topic here on xda), then the command is:
iutool -v -p {path to folder with the update files}
And you wait for the files to be copied (nothing will be obvious on the phone) then it'll just reboot to the usual "update/format progress bar" screen - assuming everything went right! All failures, you'll see on the computer screen, in a not terribly useful way...
Fiddler settings:
Tools > Telerik Fiddler Options > Connections (tab):
- Act as system proxy on startup = off
- Monitor all connections = off
- Allow remote computers to connect = on
Restart Fiddler and allow on firewall; Enable "Stream" button on the toolbar
Flash your phone, turn off all WWAN and privacy-related options during initial setup, don't use a MS account, run to the store and turn off auto updates (all of these to minimize non-update network requests)
Configure wifi to have a proxy at your computer's IP and port 8888 (you could have changed it in the settings above),
Just download the updates from system settings as usual, you'll see the list of requests fill up in Fiddler
[Do not enable File>Capture Traffic, that's for dumping the activity of the same computer that runs Fiddler, despite the name]
Once your phone gets to "preparing to install updates", all have been downloaded: so sort the columns by "Host" and select all requests related to "download.windowsupdate.com"
File > Export Sessions > Selected > Raw Files > select a dump folder and leave all 3 options enabled
The dump folder will open, now you have to flatten it (go inside the subfolders and copy all the files in one single folder; if you have Unix "find" this is easy to automate, but with only 10 folders or so it's not too tedious even by hand)
This single combined folder is now what you can pass to iutool for updating via USB!
