MS Device Emulator - General Topics

This is very cool stuff ... at all ... allows me to test software (hate to hard reset)
There is one little detail that is a mistery to me: how the f*** am I supposed to install application which is distributed as win32 "exe" or "msi" file to the Emulated WM Device? Maybe ActiveSync ? Dunno.
Please advice.

I believe there's someway to create a fake ActiveSync connection between the device emulator and the copy of ActiveSync on your computer. However, I can't test it because it doesn't seem to want to work with my copy of Vista, so you'll have to wait for someone who knows more of it than I do to come along and tell you how to do it.

Right click on ActiveSync icon and select 'settings'.
Then select 'Allow connection on one of the following' and select 'DMA' from the list.
Start device emulator manager, select your emulator, turn it on then in 'action' menu select 'cradle'.
Now the emulator should sync just like a real device.

wow ... it is actually working ... thanks alot.

several quick questions:
is it possible to change the emulator ROM ?
is it possible to dump it and reuse it on real device?

"is it possible to dump it and reuse it on real device?"
sure it is any real device which use the same hardcoded drivers
as the emulator == non == no fysical device

Change the ROM - The ROM for the new "stand alone" emulator is stored in a BIN file. So theoretically it is possible to replace it, the question is with what?
The platform builder comes with a sample emulator SDK but I have no idea if that would work.
The ROM you can find for real devices will not work with the emulator.

Thanks ... what i really want to do was to test whether i will be pleased with the different cooked ROMs for WM6.
i hate making experiments.
I read some "know-how"s how to backup the existing device ROM - unforunately ... no success.
whatever ... thanks alot again ... i'll wait for official WM6 ROM

CMD shell program for WM2005

Does anyone know were I can find a command line program that will work on wm2005, I tried installing pocket cmd , that worked on ppc 2003, but it did not work on wm2005,
thanks cheers
any update???? I wnat the CDM and telnet too!!!!
me too!
How can they take such an important piece 'out'.
I know it's not exactly out, since you had to put it into earlier versions of windows-mobile your self by downloading the "Windows Mobile Developer Power Toys"
a link here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...d6-1dcc-47aa-ab28-6a2b006edfe9&DisplayLang=en
i tried to install this anyway for wm2005, yet no success -- i might have overlooked something though.
i want this shell to play with ruby (a programming language) on my vario (htc wizzard).
lets hope it will show up soon!
cies breijs.
tried even more
i tried to install (on a Wizard; windows mobile 5) the following:
PocketConcole (only a drive or something)
http://www.symbolictools.de/public/pocketconsole/index.htm
plus
CMD (form here):
http://www.symbolictools.de/public/pocketconsole/applications/cmd/index.htm
and
PocketCMD:
http://www.symbolictools.de/public/pocketconsole/applications/PocketCMD/index.htm
i also tried the PowerTool CMD as mentioned earlier again.
NO SUCCESS.
i just want a little terminal window for starting Ruby!
(and i hate windows, MCF, programming)
still hoping!

Any success with TelnetD & Console?
Hi!
Did anybody have any success with TelnetD running on WM 5.0? I have also tried Symbolic Tools' packages with no success. But I would still like to have access to the device through telnet & command line.
Cheers,
Ondrej

havent gotten it to work myself but havent made that much of an efford yet
PocketCMD OK on WM6...
Following the solution I posted a while ago (link in post above), I confirm this is still working on WM6/Wizard.
First install pocketconsole, reboot, modify registry, install pocketcmd, nettools and telnet.
Verify de change in registry is still there...

Hmm... Thanks Rudegar ! But I was searching for nettools for pocketconsole, to use with pocketcmd in order to have the "route" command.
Fortunately, I found it : nettools_arm_setup.exe on http://ftp.linux.in.th/pocketpc/net/

Help: Cannot use software that require .net compact 2.0

I've install .net compact framework 2.0 in my XDA neo (lastest WM5 Dopod ROM AKU2.0).
Once, I install the program that require the .net, it cannot be open and have an error message like this:
An unexpected error has ocuured in
xxxxxx.exe
Select Quit and then restart this
program, or select details for more
information.
But, when I boot in safemode (by SPB pocketplus plugin) I can open that program correctly without any error!!!
It cannot be used in normal mode but it can be in safemode.
I've tried both install the .net in SD card or in Device, but the results are the same.
Could anyone help me? What's wrong on my device or anybody have the same problem like me?
Thanks in advance, guy.
First, it would help if you click 'details' and tell us what you see.
From what you wrote it is clear that the problem is not with CF 2 but with the particular app conflicting with one of the programs your device runs on start up.
What kind of plugins / utilities do you have that run in background? Try removing them one by one to see where the problem lies.
Also if you have a backup of your data, try hard resetting then installing on a clean device.
detail of error are:

About HR, I plan to do it again this weekend. And I will install .net CF first then this program and test, and I will install each program after and test one by one. But, if it possible I want to know what's a problem before I do that.
Thanks guy for recommending.

Linux for Magician: who is working there?

I'm sorry for being so loud, but I've seen a few "progress pages" in Wikis and I still can't get a clear picture of who (if anyone) is actually working on linux for the HTC Magician (Qtek s100, iMate Jam, Dopod xxx, etc.).
I found this project:
http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~zabel/magician/README
and it appears to be very very promising; it already delivers some small functionality on the magician (I've tried it). But there is much much work to do before it can be released to the general public.
In general, I don't think there are many people working to get the Magician on Linux...
So I am asking here: are you working on this? do you know who is working on this?
I am a SW developer by trade, but I have no time at home to code.
However, I would like to give whatever little time I can find to:
- act as a beta tester;
- develop one or two patches (kernel mostly);
so we can get Linux running on the Magician.
Thank you.
Hi,
This doese indeed look promising.
I have no qualifications in software etc, but i do like fiddling with linux -).
I too would be a beta tester.
So is anyone working on this?
Hi. As vnevoa found out, I am working on the Magician when I find the time.
Unfortunately, to my knowledge, there is no-one else currently working on this. So developers are needed!
For people interested in kernel hacking, there is the [email protected] mailing list and the #htc-linux IRC channel on freenode.net
The biggest missing parts currently are battery control, sound and the phone.
For everyone else, any improvements to the Magician wiki pages would be more than welcome. To build a proper userspace image for the Magician, support for this machine in OpenEmbedded has to be improved.
Wow!
That haret thingy is wonderfull.
What is the current state of the version for the Magician? Does it boot to GPE?
This is a great thing, really. No need to flash a new firmware, and boot linux! Amazing. I'm using Linux on ipaq and it is very nice. But I would miss phone operation. With haret we can have both things running.
Good work. Has anyone tested USB host on magician under linux?

does that mean, usbnet is not possible? in my case, nothing happens if i connect the magician to my computer. dmesg and lsusb say nothing about a new device. insmodding usbnet doesnt help either. tried the same with a htc universal, usbnet works fine on my machine.
[edit]works for now, if connected via external-powered usb-hub. maybe a driver problem? activesync in windows-mobile is possible without using the hub.[/edit]
And if you check the website you can see all teh file you need to download if anyone know a programm for make call/sms/mms or ONLY calls and run on this linux please give information about
ok i try this one in a few and i edit my post when i have test all
ok today the : 28.12.2006
mmmm i have some trouble with extracting the gpe archive it's seem to be corrupted soooo bad.
BUT the first problem it's this famous default.txt the script to run haret if anyone have a working script please copy information here of the .txt file that's can be helpfull.
the error of my default.txt is: Failed to load kernel \carte de stockage\zimage
must i need to rename the zimage file???
and i have a question ... it's possible to make a "bootable" SD? if yes i can try to run another handled linux perhaps???
OK i have found i must rename the magician-zimage-2.6.XXXX to : "zimage"
so i have downlaod latest version of haret and take the default.txt WITHOUT changing
harte start but of course i haven't the gpe file so it's say error BUT it's launch now i must really found a good archive i have try under linux but the archive still in read only i can't change it to read AND write so all i uncompress are still not working under linux it's better on windows don't know why .....
(mmm risk to brick my magician if i try another gpe file .......)
and of course: sorry for my bad english
now i edit the post when i have MORE important news

Rom flashing on a Mac

Has anyone ever tried to flash a rom or develop a rom that can be flashed by a Mac? I have Missing sync to sync my Tilt and to download .cabs and .exe's.
Works great by the way. I have flashed several roms from Windows XP on the " other side " of my Intel chip, so no problem there. Just wondering can it be done from the Mac side? And has anyone done it?
I have been using Macs and Apples for over 25 years ( started with Apple IIc) and never once had the urge to switch so comments from the "Apple Bashers" will mean nothing to me
Just curious.
no i'm not going bash apple but i haven't come across anything for mac and i believe the kaisercustomruu.exe can only be run only on windows
I have successfully flashed my Tilt using a Parallels install of XP Pro. Of course that requires an Intel Mac to accomplish...

I have flashed several roms using both Parallels and Bootcamp on the other side of my Intel/Mac chip and .exe file will not run on OS X but is it possible to create a rom using say a .dmg package instead of an .exe package?
The problem is far beyond the fact that the package is in exe the tools to actually flash the rom are windows only
I'd just flash from the MicroSD card.

Obviously you can't just re-package under a different file extension. What " tools " are you refering to? Kitchen tools? Again just re-packaging. Leopard can run on an intel chip. Word, Excel, etc, can run natively on a Mac. Can you put together a rom or write one from scratch that can be downloaded natively to a Mac and then flashed to a Kaiser? Even theoretically?
You can use whatever OS you want... Just do what Peterfnet suggested... Use the SD card method... It's safer and easier.
Just follow the link provided by Peterfnet!

It wasn't a "how do I flash a rom question " , I press a button and my screen twirls from OS X Leopard to Windows XP , I flash a new rom, press another button and my screen twirls back to Leopard and all my Mac apps. ( new Intel Chip for Mac)
The question was " what do the knowledgeable people here think? " Are there limitations of computer science that would prevent this or just limitations of available ground work that I could create?
Edit: I re-read this post and it sound kind of terse, I didn't meanit that way.
Thanks for your input Rayan
I see no reason why it would not be possible to flash a ROM natively inside Mac OS. But in order to do so, the flashing application written by HTC would need to be recoded to run on Mac.
If you extract the .exe file that is inside the rar file posted by the chefs here, you will see 5-10 files, one of which is the OS.nbh file. If you can write a program for Mac OS that can communicate with the Kaiser and call that file, then it would be possible. (DISCLAIMER: I am NOT a programmer, so it is a definite possibility that I could be talking out of my ass.)
Since flashing is not yet available to Linux users, then Mac is probably still a bit off.

best option all around
Well, ever since I discovered the SD Card method I don't flash it through the PC anymore... No more fears of freezing up, power failures and such!
In fact, I carry several "test" ROMS in my card just to install them on the go whenever I'm bored! LOL...
Here's an answer from someone who is paid to write software....
You're correct there is no technical reason that you can't flash your phone from a Mac OS.
Basically the whole process is a few commands & responses sent across the USB port and then the nbh image streamed via the port to the waiting device.
Here's the bind: Microsoft is well known for not working well with others. Why would they be motivated to provide non-MS OS the ability to flash "Windows Mobile"? It's kind of like iTunes being able to integrate with non-iPod MP3 players as well as it works with iPods (or so I've heard).
Thanks all , it looks like I have my next project. Thanks for all your input. peterfnet and Rayan thanks when HTC comes out with their new rom update and new driver package at the end of the month I'm going the card method for a change.

HELP - chevron unlocking issue(PROBLEM)

hi , AS ABOVE.
i've tried to read all the possible solution and tried it out already
change the host file , try changing the regedit method , tried using device manager to troubleshoot the device driver.
it just cant work. im doing the correct steps . i even flash wp7 again to double confirm my steps.
i have my key already , im just lacking this step to proceed further.
help ? :/
HELP ??
The instructions you can find here are all pretty clear and they work.
I went according to this one:
1. Install WP7 sdk Windows Phone Developer Tools;
2. Install zune;
3. Make partneship with zune and phone;
4. Attach the ChevronWP7.cer(you found in the toolkit) to your email and send the email to your email itself (On PC);
5. Login to your email account (On Phone), Open the email, Select attachment and install the cert;
6. Connect your phone to pc and make sure zune is running in background;
7. Run the unlocker (ChevronWP7.exe) and click unlock button(Make sure your phone date is set correctly)
(you need to close skype and disable network adapter.. hamachi.. wireless.. Dropbox.. etc)
6. Install toms .xap installer;
7. Deploy Connection Setup.xap, Touch Xplorer.xap and XBMODDeployer.xap (Install it on the phone and run XBMODDeployer.xap);
8. Copy the .provxml from the ringtons folder to the windows folder (on the phone using touch explorer app);
9. Run connection setup to install the .provxml;1. Install WP7 sdk Windows Phone Developer Tools;
2. Install zune;
3. Make partneship with zune and phone;
4. Attach the ChevronWP7.cer(you found in the toolkit) to your email and send the email to your email itself (On PC);
5. Login to your email account (On Phone), Open the email, Select attachment and install the cert;
6. Connect your phone to pc and make sure zune is running in background;
7. Run the unlocker (ChevronWP7.exe) and click unlock button(Make sure your phone date is set correctly)
(you need to close skype and disable network adapter.. hamachi.. wireless.. Dropbox.. etc)
6. Install toms .xap installer;
7. Deploy Connection Setup.xap, Touch Xplorer.xap and XBMODDeployer.xap (Install it on the phone and run XBMODDeployer.xap);
8. Copy the .provxml from the ringtons folder to the windows folder (on the phone using touch explorer app);
9. Run connection setup to install the .provxml;
You are probably just missing a step
you must be doing something wrong ..cause as i just stated above all the tool and unlocker still works as it did 3 months ago...check some of tutorials in the forum...

hi , i connected my phone using wpconnect , im still having same problem
Check your hosts file.
If it contains following entry, Chevron will not work:
127.0.0.1 developerservices.windowsphone.com
I cant remember where I read this but it helped.After completing the above instructions,Open task manager(Ctrl ,Alt &del).Go to processes ,select zune launcher and click on end process.reboot pc ,connect phone , wait for it to sync wit zune ,if it doesnt ,run zune then run chevron and you are done.I did this for 3 phones and it worked.hope this helps.good luck.
another confirmation that the unlocker still works for me without any problems at all...i dont nor havent deleted any host files or changed any setting at all within the machine. I have had one or two problems with it not working, the first problem i ever had when i first started using the unlocker was the registry key not being edited correctly... and for the second time it didnt work, all i did was unplug device and let re sync...tick, tick BOOM unlocked!! Besides those couple times it has always worked for me...Bought a new machine today and installed tools, then zune software and created account " naming phone " and installed chevron, opened and unlocked....if you have sdk tools installed and have the unlocker installed, with zune software completely set up and phone communicating with zune, not as guest...and you will change the relationship from guest to " whatever you name your phone " during setup... haven a complete and main relationship with phone " not guest " is one of the most important parts with zune!!! The other most important part is making sure the registry is edited and should look like this...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsPhone\ProxyPorts]
“DeviceReg”=dword:000069C5
the window phone developer tools will edit reg for you...i have learned that if you relock the phone it sometime can takes a little while for things to click and be able to unlock again!!
So there is nothing wrong with any of the tools or unlocker, so if your having problems tripple check your zune settings to accomplish a non guest relationship, and check your reg. edit.....most problems i have seen and heard about are ppl and their zune!

Wow... you can come and work on our helpdesk any time, they log calls about as badly as you explain a problem lol.
You've said it's "not working". Why isn't it working? Where are you getting up to? Are you getting an error message?
Have you deleted all entries of Developerservices... from your host file?
make sure you have corrected date and time
and if possible use SIM Card with "big operator" in your country (well known operator)
sorry for bad english, using google translate
