Microsoft Reader Factivation

I not know anybody do it before, if no it is long over due.
Microsoft Reader for Pocket PC is here long as I remember, it it nice reader but their activation method are pain in [email protected]@ if you use their Internet Explorer it many time fail complete activation (you can no use other browser because it is Microsoft and use AX, MS think *nix users must go [email protected] themself?).
And you can activate 6 devices maximum, very generous Microsoft!
Here solution:
Perpetual Activation for Microsoft Reader
It is no hacking.
I simply take advantage of Activation Process "logic hole", it is all.
Up when they change activation proceses (doubt) or patch MS Reader on next ad hoc version (more possible, but it required full build *and* it not stop this activation work on Windows Mobile with MS Reader 2.4.x installated).
This NO is keygen, crack or warez.
I find it (literary) in Microsoft, is all I can say.
Name it "factivation" from Freedom Activation (or [email protected] your stupid activations, Bill...)
I want post it with my real name, but I change mind, one never know what future is next, and law change every day
Install Microsoft Reader for Pocket PC
reboot
Install Microsoft Reader Factivation
have MS Reader activated at open.
It is all.
work on: Pocket PC Windows Mobile 2003, 2003 SE, WM5, WM6, WM6.1 (tested) with Microsoft Reader version 2.4.1
It may will work on WM 2002 if use Microsoft Reader version 2.4 and not the old one (no tested but may work).
Sorry my english!

Update on the M$ website
Please note that we have recently posted an update of the Pocket PC/Pocket PC Phone Edition version of Microsoft Reader.
This update addresses activation problems experienced by the users of some Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0 Phone Edition devices. In addition we have made it easier to use Microsoft Reader with device storage cards

I have tried to activate my Titan since MS updated to make activation "easier", and just like in the past it didn't work with two separate attempts. I would love to tell the useless MS Reader team where to go. As of now I am through with that crappy product and have switched over to eReader - simple activation that always works and a better UI. I just wish I could get the money back for all the .lit format books I've bought over the years.

/edited (because exploit works)

Cool Exploit, thanks for sharing.
I put this in a cab with MSReader and it seems to work great!

didn't work
I tried the instructions as described above on my ATT Fuze (winmo 6.1) and it didn't activate my copy of MS Reader.

Me too tried as described but Reader did not activate anymore...
I still can't read my bought books
Surely Your Cab is fine, but not rof my device/rom/sw.
Anyone has some other ideas?
Anyway, my device is HTC Touch Diamond with default ITA H3G Rom 6.1, MS Reader 2.41.

Francesco

It works great on all WinMo 2003SE/5/6.1 PocketPCs I have, all with the latest MS Reader 2.4.1 from microsoft's website.
I'd say PM the author if it doesn't work on your device, maybe there are some variables he (she?) have missed?

Didn't work on my Fuze either but did work on my Kaiser.
Oh well...

Call me ignorant ...

I was looking to make MS Reader more touch screen friendly on my htc Diamond (like go to next page on swipe right for example) and my google search turned up this thread. It greatly interested me (even though it wasn't what I was looking for) as I've had problems with my MS activation for some time (on another device). The big problem is that I don't know the heck as to what I'm doing (in this sense). Please excue my ignorance. While I know a fair bit about a lot of things IT this has me confused (outside my area of expertiese no doubt). The contents of the compressed file don't contain anything that looks like I can install it except "_setup.xml".
How does one run "_setup.xml"?
Just like any .exe file?
I've already run a search on this site to try to figure it out but my search foo must be weak because I'm none the wiser.
Any help would be appreciated

From what I understand you have unpacked .cab file (which you shouldn't - it is not .zip or .rar compressed archive, although it may look like one on your PC if you have winzip or winrar set as default viewer for .cab files).
Just copy the .cab file to your WinMo device and double tap on it, that's what you should do.

downloaded will test it later..
and hey mate
thanks for this.. :-D

worked like a charm thanks!

It works on HD2 and 2.4.2 USA version (Italian version and others are in 2.4.1)
Really great!!!!!

Great application -- thanks a lot!

O2 Xda Exec: upgrade to WM6.1

Good morning all,
I'm a very new member, and I'm looking to upgrade my device to WM6.1.
Details of my device:
O2 Xda Exec, Monthly Contract O2 SIM, WM5.0, OS 5.1.1.1700 (Build 14354.0.1.1), Processor PXA270-520MHz, Memory 49.96MB.
I'm a writer and use Word, Notes (including recordings), Active Sync (Vista Laptop with Windows Mobile Device Centre, email (hotmail and ntl), phone, texting, camera--I think that's all.
My biggest problems with 5.0 are that I can't edit Word 2007 documents (.docx) and can't use SDHC cards. So really, I want a basic (vanilla?) version that behaves pretty well like the proprietory product. I'm not really too interested in lots of additional apps.
Bearing in mind that I'm very much a user, I'd be very grateful if somebody could advise me as to a ROM that's:
a) stable;
b) easy to install;
c) has all the features of 6.1; and finally
d) not too many whizz-bangs.
I appreciate that a lot of time, effort and expense goes into producing the ROMs--so I'm prepared to make a comensurate donation.
Cheers,
Plantaen.

I think Tomal 8.2 will do for you. Its the most stable and fast ROM I have come accross. Another new version from TOmal is in Beta 2 stage. May be you can upgrade to that as well once the final version released.

Read Wiki
Would first advise you to go through Wiki and understand what you are trying to do and find whether your Universal (O2 XDA Exec) is fully unlocked etc.,
Read as much as you can in Wiki as it helps to prevent future messup as anything going wrong could end up your Uni just a costly paper weight.
Tomal's ROMs are great and once you are sure that your phone is fullly unlocked in all respects, you can try any flavour starting from 7.7 through 8.5
Hope this helps.
Regards

I would recommend Tomal's Vanilla version: http://vidmes.com/xda/Uni/ROMs/Tomal...960_VANILA.exe. Give that a try and see how you like it.

if you look for serious word editing, I would suggest you to use the softmaker http://www.softmaker.com/english/
Regarding a ROM.. I would suggest Tomal V 7.6 or 7.7. my personal favoured is V7.7.
Anyhow before doing something on the rom read carefully and bring you up to speed. I heart upgrade on Vista cn be tricky so you need to find info and make sure you have at least bootlaoder > v1

Maybe U don't need to upgrade your ROM
Hi, Plantaen.
I think maybe U don't need too upgrade Ur ROM, U can try these :
1. file : PsiDocSDHC.cab, so U can read Ur SDHC Card In Ur Uni in ROM WM 5, like I do. U can search this file in this ROM.
2. I think U can save as Ur document in doc format, rather than docx format.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Hi, i used the "http://vidmes.com/xda/Uni/ROMs/Tomal/TML_v82_WM61_19960_VANILA.exe" to upgrade my XDA Executive and after the upgrade was over it asked me to soft reset my device, i did that and the screen displays Press '0' to restore factory settings or 'X' to cancel. the device is non responsive after that, pressing '0' or 'x' just exits and the device doesn't reboot. How can i now use my device? Please help.

Come on... only thing you need is Softmaker Office... the best one.

Office Mobile 2010 beta

its out! apparantly you can download it off windows market place if you have a 6.5 phone, I couldn't find it.
The only thing that was in the marketplace was the current version of office mobile and u have to pay $33 for it.
Did anyone get it yet? If so please explain the steps.
Is it good?

It seems that it is not available out of usa

I can see it listed on the Marketplace via the PC, and I have selected it for download, however the phone shows no applications under the Ready to Install category.
Give it a day and I'm sure it will pop up somewhere for install as a CAB file.

https://marketplace.windowsphone.co...cd&retURL=/search.aspx?keywords=Office Mobile
its there.. but can not download

Every services give the link to Market Place but I can't download from them, any ideas?

i have the same problem
hope anyone can upload the cabs and languagefiles (need german)

I am not sure if this is against the rules, if it is, my apologies and please remove the link. However, it can be downloaded for free from marketplace, so I assume it's no problem.
Anyway, Office Mobile 2010 beta cab file

nice man thx hope it works on my samsung i780

Sharepoint error
Installed the Beta - looking for onenote - discovered a comment on web that it is integrated with Sharepoint. Anyway - error see attached . Anyone know about onenote on the 2010 beta.
Kwally

Is there any languages pack for this?

Just to be sure, the older office mobile will not get deleted right (I read it but want to be safe)?

i have office 6.1 installed..beta of 2010 dosnt work.. the old office apps are installed ad linked only...
when i uninstall 2010. office 6.1 is installed but no links are in programinterface...so i say : it destroys my office that i must hardreset

Older version did get deleted on my Diamond - running WM 6.1 - left to apps in folder - calendar and tasks only. Word and Excel work for 2010 beta - Powerpoint and Sharepoint don't. Anyone know about onenote - maybe it is not ready yet?
Kwally

Word 2010 running on Diamond 6.1 - installed Office 2010 to Internal Storage.

thanks barty22 for the cab.
it's so darn hard to connect to Marketplace.

Just incase not aware it is time bomb'd for April 5, 2010

[REQ] (new) Office 2010 as CAB

Hi there!
Does anybody have a CAB of the new Office 2010 mobile?
I know that there's a cab from the beta around for a while, but
I'm searching the new version (with outlook) from the latest builds (235XX)...
I think that would be nice for a lot of people who don't want to flash a new
rom only to have the new MSO!
Thx in advance!

Markus

office 2010 can be downloaded from marketplace on your device.

thx for your reply, but the download from marketplace is the beta without outlook... i'm searching for the version used in the latest builds from MS. maybe
one of our chef's can provide a cab made from one of the packages!

Subscribing to this. Would like it as well.

Interested in this as well.

ME TOO........

same here!

thanks but we are not looking for the beta. we need the office 2010 that comes with the new outlook for threaded emails in windows mobile 6.5. the beta doesn't have this feature.

can't find it on the german marketplace, really sucks here ...

have anyone tried this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609675

tom_codon (Tom), Xannytech, Miri & kholk (Eugenia) all appear to have Office Mobile 2010 without any beta markings. Does anyone actually know if this isn't just the beta? In particularly regarding tom_codon's ROM which states "Office 2010 RMT".
Is 'RMT' a spelling mistake (RTM) or does it mean something else?
I'm assuming this isn't what everyone is after... but just in case here is Office Mobile 2010 Beta.

i get "your current version is not supported"...
again @ anyone, especially the cooks:
can someone PLS provide a cab for the "new" office 2010, or at least a cab
for the "threaded emails" (if that is not part of the office package, 'cause dutty
has office 2010 in his roms, but not the threaded mails)?
thx!

Bump for the week. Still looking for Office Mobile 2010 final.
Why is beta still on the app store?

Don't have the time to create a cab, but here is the EXT (converted OEM from 23518) for Office Mobile 2010.

Yea, the new office as a cab would be nice..

Yeah I would love to have it as well, anyone has a working non beta cab?

cab creation woes

Click to collapse
I created 2 cabs with this EXT, one which installs in program files, another that installs in /windows. The first installs fine, however, the created shortcuts don't work afterwards, nor does launching the app from the install folder. The cab that installs in /windows first wanted to uninstall the previous 2010 install (not sure if that was the first attempt or the beta I had install before). After that the installation fails, wants a different location
If anyone else wants to try (I've never created a cab before, chances are I did something wrong), here's what I used:
URL="http://www.techparaiso.com/how-to-create-cab-installation-files-for-windows-phone-devices/"] Cab creation guide[/URL]
URL="http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4252366/Wince_Cab_Manager_v2.1.0.35"] WinCE Cab Manager [/URL]
And, if anyone wants to try, maybe this cab will work:
URL="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=C8VOMC2A"]Office Mobile 2010 cab[/url]
Could be that it works on WinMO 6.1 or lower, my WinMO 6.5 can't install it.
(I would have liked to create proper links, but the forum does not yet allow me to do this)

Might be that you compressed the cab or that you chose not to set a min/max OS. Am just done with setting up my hd2 after flashing a new rom, dont really feel like installing something that might screw office up, especially since its a company-phone and I use outlook and the office-apps daily
[Edit]
Interesting, I got an error when editing it with WinCE Cab Manager, that the data is corrupt...

guys,
from what i have read, the threaded emails is part of wm6.5.x and not the office 2010 cab. though i would love to be proven wrong!
