HELP!! S640 users need files!!! - Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other

I think I screwed up and overwrote something in the windows directory.
I think it's one of these three files - netbios.dll, netui.dll or redir.dll
I put those files in the windows directory, then installed HTC network rom
and now my wifi shows the icon in the top, won't go away won't connect.
and for WLAN settings I only have -> 1. Connection Status
2. LEAP
3. Enroll
4. Power Mode
I am missing the options that is usually 1. WIFI ,where you can search and connect to networks.
any ideas? or do you have those files I can have?
thanks in advance

Never mind I just hard resetted it. then brought my backup back.
first time I used my backup so It's good to know it works!!!!

[A] Mapping Network Drives using HTC's Network Plugin

I've tried using Resco Explorer 7.05/Total Commander 2.5.1/HTC's Network Plugin
For some reason i can't seem to map network drives.
In resco when i try to connect to a drive it tells me it's not accessible
In Total Commander it just doesn't connect
In HTC's Network plugin it writes: "Map Drive Failed"
-I'm using Vista on the comp i want to share folders in.
-Sharing works fine on all comps other than in my PPC (not password protected)
-It seems as not only it doesn't map the drive but doesn't acknowledge as anything but the computers on the network exist. no folders inside those computers. Thought about changing my ppc's domain but i don't know how to do that.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks
Yeah, VISTA FILE SHARING is a bit tricky! You not only have to share that particular drive / folder; you also have to check the settings in the SHARING CENTER - in addition you might have to adjust the file permissions as well.
Everything is perfect on file settings. i have a network running 3 computers and 2 laptops all sharing folders no passwords all permissions set. only thing not able to read the folders is the PPC. It finds the comps on the network but doesn't show the folders.
Did you MOUNT the drives in RESCO? You can't just click on it in the FILE EXPLORER - tap and hold, then select MOUNT DRIVE or FOLDER (depending on what you're sharing).
What RESCO VERSION did you use?
dude... i can't see drives nor folders.
i'm using 7.05
for the record, i tried looking at a winxp comp instead of a vista one.. can't see anything.
tried accessing through ip and name.. both come out with nothing..
I wish someone would help with this also. I have two computers and 1 ppc on my home network. My ppc(HTC Titan) used to be able to access both computers. Then all of a sudden it stopped working for my main computer(bedroom) with all MY files on it, but it still accesses files on my second computer(upstairs). On the main computer(bedroom) I can access the shared folders of the second computer(upstairs), but the second computer can't access the files from the main computer.I dont know whats wrong, but it seems more like a computer issue. I operate Windows XP on a Dell. The network folder used to work perfectly for me and I can't put my fiinger on what's blocking it.
This might be the wrong thread to post this issue(maybe the wrong website) but I thought I would ask since the issues are similar. If it's a ppc program for accessing the shared folders on a computer, then someone should have a How-To or a check list of how to set both up for the program to work fluently. Can somebody please post what you need to do on the computers to ensure sharability of the file systems.
The reason why this is so important to me is because I have been hooking-up my Titan since may 2008 and I am near completion. I'm totally done adding app's and the functionality of the device is superb except for this issue. Just bought a 16gb micro sdhc card and that works great. My girlfriend just ordered a seido 3500mah extended battery with the door to fit and a rubberized hard case for extended battery fit. I'm so excited about have the best phone setup of my life but I everytime I go back to this issue I get pissed off. It was all good til about 4 months ago and I don't know why it suddenly stopped working. Please HELP!!!
If the HTC Network plugin is not locating your shared files on your network, this likely suggest that it is an issue with your network settings. I suggest playing around with your security settings; however, I just recently had a problem accessing any of my shared files over any of my computers between each other and between my HTC Device. It just suddenly stopped working. I knew that I didn't change any settings myself and had tried many things to try to resolve the problem without success. I then decided to run my anti-spyware programs and Anti-Virus programs and let them run overnight. In the morning, the Anti-spyware removed several things - One was labeled as high risk and the others were low and the Anti-Virus found two high risk viruses. Everything was taken care of automatically and voila - I had no problems connecting to my shared files with my computers or my HTC Device. I ran the spyware and virus check programs again and everyting was clean.
the problem is that i can't even map the drives. i can see the comps on the network using the HTC Network Plugin but can't do anything other than that. when i try mapping a drive it tells me that i can't.. for some reason.
i removed password protection...shared the drive... nothing works.
I am assuming you are trying to connect through WIFI -
Make sure that you are actually connected to your network. My device has on several occasions connected to my neighbours wifi rather then my own - results in not being able to access shared folders
Through HTC NEtwork plugin you are exploring the computer for the shared folders right? You say you can see the computers - when you click the plus next to the specified computer in the network plugin are you getting any results at all there.
Make sure you don't have (I don't know if this is what it is called) MAC address filter or password. One of my friends has an open WIFI Network but has MAC Address filter which stops you from actually being able to use the network. You can connect but that is it. You wouldn't be able to surf the internet at all through WIFI either if this was the problem.
If it is none of these, Maybe it is a Windows VIsta problem - I don't know, I have XP
Do you have trouble connecting to other shared folders on other peoples WIFI networks also? (people who have XP)
-XP doesn't work either.
-i can see the comps, so i'm obviously connected to the network.
-i have mac filtering - see previous statement
-wifi works - see previous previous statement
dunno what to do.
Maybe something with your WIFI Settings on your device then?
Maybe you can review your settings on your device - Anythign that you think might be causing the problem - Describe it here, I will check my device settings (even though different devices - should still be the same - and will let you know if there are any differences. I must go eat dinner right now, but will check back after supper and bathing my daughter and putting her to bed. in a hour and a half two hours from now...
Set your desktop to support NTLM instead of just NTLMv2.
That way I got shared folders working with the HTC Network Plugin and my Vista desktop. Unfortunately some HTC apps (like HTC Camera) only expect your device to have two drives (internal ROM and flash card) so when you mount a network drive, they can't access your flash card.
Well, i can start searching, but if you don't mind, could you tell me how to do that?

I wish it worked for me too, but when I get to the "Group Policy Object Editor" I'm getting lost. I don't see that anywhere. Is my computer missing important files? I'm using windows xp. I hope I don't have to restore the whole computer to get the file sharing working. But if I gotta do it I will.the phone see's the computer, but no file sharing. It is that important to me to share files between my phone and computer. My home setup is sweet, and my phone is an extension of it.
Any Other Ideas
So, I have gone through and done everything suggested here. Lan Authentication, created private network, reconnect, everything I can think of...nothing seems to work
Does anyone have any further ideas about what could possibly work to create a LAN over WIFI?
Hardware:
Vista Business, Mogul 6.1 stock ROM 5.2.19208 and Folder Plugin build 30468.
DONE SO FAR:
Have created an adhock private network...connected to it on my device no problem. But when i go to search for my computer in network plugin under the browse menu it thinks about it and in the end doesn't see anything...
so, at wits end...I know I am new but most of the info over is fairly beyond my level I am certinaly a lurker and no info over at PPC Geeks with solutions...either way alot of the stuff over there comes from over here so thought I would see if anyone had some suggestions.

Remove/Hide Phone Status

Happy New Year to all!
1) I'm using HTC on WM6.1, when turn off cellular radio at Comm Manager, the phone status will show "Phone Off" at "Phone" dialer screen.
How to remove/hide this "Phone Off" wording from showing at "Phone" dialer screen or anywhere in the phone. Or can i even change the "Phone Off" to some other word (Fake operator carier name)?
2) new to WM, how to browse/view \\windows folder?
Please help. Thanks in adavance!
NK
that's for changing the operator:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=359563
and about browsing windows:
1. connect to your pc using activesync
2. go to your device's root folder (on your pc.. not your device)
3. dunno which version of windows/linux you're running, but you need to remove the "hidden" parameter from the windows dir...
then you'll be able to view it in your file explorer on your device...
1)
I can change operator name at registry w/o the app. But no matter what operator name u change, it will show "Phone Off" once you swith off the cellular radio option in Comm Manager.
(Simple, imagine using the pda with Sim Card/Phone function BUT phone status there show something else instead of "Phone OFF")
2)
i can't see any windows folder on my root folder (PC), i'm on WM6.1
1. i believe the link i sent you will solve this issue. try it.
2. you need to enable watching hidden system files on your comp.
which version of windows are you using?
1. aight, will try that 1st
2. i'm on vista, already enabled show system/hidden file
if you enabled showing HIDDEN SYSTEM FILES...
and you went to your root directory of your device (thru the computer, not thru the device), and disabled the Hidden property... there's no way you can't see it now.. unless something is very wrong over at your device's side
that's why do i missed anything? need to set anything on the device? just bought it all default setting..
nope. nothing. windows is generally marked as hidden. if you remove the parameter, you should be able to see it wherever.
which file explorer are you using?
normal windows explorer
hehe.. i meant on your device
erm..i can view it on my device but not in PC
you can view your windows folder on your device... and can't view it on your pc?
that's.... weird.
Yup.
Back to the first question, How to remove/hide this "Phone Off" wording from showing at "Phone" dialer screen or anywhere in the phone. ?
The "Personalizer" app dint help, it will still shows "Phone Off" after set to off at Comm Manager.
Anyone?
please help!
anyone have solution?
I'm sorry, i searched and searched and couldn't find anything relating to this subject.
It's ok, thanks for your help! hope some expert reply my thread with solution 1 day.
Maybe i make thing complicated.
What i want is actually OFF the phone (only PDA function), nobody can call in but when my girlfriend play around with my phone, she won't know i OFF the phone! i think your should know why i'm doing this.. but thats off topic!
SO, any other phone dialer than dont have this "Phone OFF" status showing? so that i can replace current dialer. i had use WM5, thats fine, no phone/network status showing, but dont tell me to downgrade to WM5..heh

Activesync problem.

I connect my Kaiser which uses latest HyperDragon ROM to Activesync on my PC which uses latest XP SP3 > I manage to connect it > When I go to My Computer I can`t see "Mobile Device" icon there where to go view my files and if I try to go there through Activesync`s Explore it redirects it to C:\
Last time when I managed to view my files on my pc was over month ago :I

Hi, have you checked your a.s. settings to see what is syncing? You say it used to sync ok and that you could view your files using a.s. explorer, but that it stopped one day?
Did you install any apps then, or make any system changes? If your settings are good, have u tried deleting the partnership on both your device and computer, then restablishing it again? Also try unchecking "enable faster data syncronisation" in settings/usb to pc (if hyperdragon has that function).
Hope this helps but get back to me if it doesnt.
It sometimes helps depending on which operating system you are using (XP or Vista) to change the following settings.
Start>Settings>Connections>USB to PC
• remove the check mark from Enable advanced network functionality
Soft Reset not necessary but recommended. When device is up and running and you removed all existing old profiles from computer as suggested in previous post, then plug device in.
Make sure that your active sync settings allow for USB connection. Go to connection settings in your active sync section and check this as well..
Good luck!

Lost 3g/4g connection

Guys I am really struggling with this phone. I have wasted 2 entire workdays now trying to get it how I like it. Yesterday I rooted with motofail2go and ran into an issue with usb only recognizing as charge only. Turns out I had to enable debug mode, turn off the phone, turn it back on, and then disable debug mode. Fixed the problem at 130 PM today.
At 145 PM today after doing this fix and running an ap called reverse tether my mobile data has disabled itself and I cannot get it to turn back on. Wifi is fine. Like I said I ran into some problems with debug mode switching settings around even when outside of debug mode and I cant for the life of me figure out how to reset my data connection.
Key fact: Even though the phone shows no data, when it boots up gmail always pops up with hundreds of new messages that I havent had the time to check nor did I choose to open the gmail ap. Its like gmail can still access the internet but it is disabled for me or any other function. For all I know it could simply be chached messages showing up automatically without checking for or recieving new messages.
I have done a soft reset and cycled airplane mode a few times. I have cycled thru the available network options and still nothing.
I am really having a hard time enjoying this phone as much as I would like to becaue of these weird issues. This is my first Motorola and I must say I am not impressed. And then it is sad coming to the XDA photon Q forum and there is no organization, no stickys, no useful threads hilighted, its like no one even cares about this phone. I have no clue what I am even doing when rooting, unlocking, bla bla whatever but at least the other forums are well organized and thoughtfully moderated. I dont even t think the mods here have the Photon...
Rant off... TIA
I seemed to have all kinds of random issues and problems when I first got this phone rooting and applying the first few mods, but...knock on wood they all worked themselves out and it's been solid.
A few weeks ago during that time I too experienced the loss of data issue. I was on wifi all day while at work tweaking & playing with the phone, then when I left work,...bam,..no wifi. Reboot, nothing. Airplane on/off, nothing. Tried updating the PRL, weird thing is I could watch it turn the 3G on to "phone home" to Sprint, then it would say the PRL was current and the data would be back off. WTF? Haha..
Surprisingly, what ended up working for me was the SprintZone app.
I opened the Sprint Zone app.
Scoll to the bottom and in the lower right there's a "Help" tile.
Scroll to the bottom of that next page and at the very bottom it says Update Profile.
After hitting that, I had my data back and haven't had the problem since that one time.
I wanted, so badly, for this to fix the issue. I just knew it would... but it didnt. I updated my PRL and Profile by wifi along with the Sprint Zone update you mentioned but still nothing, only wifi.
Can Sprint do any sort of reset?
Is there any way that Moto or Sprint have an auto off switch installed in the phone or the programming that is triggered by something like tethering without a tethering plan? Or rooting without using the Moto unlock key via motofail2go?
On a more general note can someone please tell me how to transfer files from my internal storage to the SD card? My internal memory is literally all used up by 2 games and my usual apps... i keep getting the low volume space warning popping up. Pretty ridiculous for a brand new top shelf phone.
I don't think it will make a difference, but make sure you are NOT on wifi when you try the SprintZone update.
I wasn't connected to wifi when it worked for me. Probably separate causes behind our similar issue, so what worked for me may not for you, but worth a shot.
I found out what it is:
Why did my mobile internet stop after using this app?
It has been reported very rarely that mobile internet stops working after using the app. This is due to the Appear as 3G feature.
If the 3G option is causing you problems, you can turn it off in the settings menu.
If this rare problem happens, to restore your device's internet, go to Mobile Network settings > Acess Point Names (APN) and choose Reset To Default from menu, or manually add your carriers APN.

Can anyone tell me how to reset my APN on the photon Q?
To transfer files from your internal sd card to the external sd card you can use a file manager like Astro or es file manager. I use es file manager personally, it has all the features of root explorer in a free app with easy to use interface. The internal storage is marked as the /sdcard directory and the external sd card is marked as /mnt/external1
In es file manager just enable the root options in settings and navigate up one level from the /sdcard directory to find the /mnt directory.
The built in file manager will do it too, but the options are limited and interface is clumsy.

[ROOT][GUIDE] Permanently Disable WiFi

When you buy a new phone for your child. You want it must be a cool phone, but you also don't want your child uses WiFi function.
I have seen many people wondering here and there to Disable the WiFi permanently in their device. So i thought to make a thread regarding this.
I have seen many posts asking to remove or rename the WiFi Modules to Disable the WiFi but when i tried that unfortunately it failed to delete the Module.
So i moved on for another step and found easy steps to Disable WiFi permanently
Tested & worked in HTC M8 (4.4.2) & Nexus 5 (5.1)
This is a simple trick played in Build.prop which can disable the WiFi of your device for ever.
All you need is :
Rooted Device
ES File Explorer
RB Text Editor
First of all i recommend you to make a system backup with TWRP
here we go :
1. Open ES File Explorer and get Root access
2. Go to system folder and open Build.prop using RB Text Editor (i recommend you to backup original file)
3. Remove the below mentioned lines in Build.prop
Code:
[COLOR="red"]wifi.interface=
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=[/COLOR]
4. save it and reboot!!
You can notice that WiFi buttons are no longer in use
Warning!
Im not responsible for any damage caused. Always Make Backup

Is there any Way to Disable Mobile Network Internet also ? Like 2G Edge , 3G ,4G etc.,
There is manual option to Disable Data Usage.

From my experience you have three options: 1. go into settings and disable your data that way, 2. download an app that allows for easy data on/off switching or 3. which I'm going to do myself when I buy a new (used ebay) phone in the next couple weeks for someone: contact my prepaid carrier and ask them to "disable the data". They can do this at the carrier-level. This will prevent a child for example from re-enabling the data just by clicking a button on their phone. I just verified with my carrier today that they can in fact do this. Good luck!
Hello .. sir ... I had seen that file in that text editor .. i dont found that coding... Nw what i can do.. pls tell me...
[email protected]
This did not work for my phone, as those program lines are not present in my build.prop folder, but I found a solution for my Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo (6.0.1) that I know many others are looking for, it will probably work for all the galaxy models or at least some of them. Here it is:
1. Root your phone using "oneclickroot.com", they will do everything for you, including installing TWRP and SuperSU. Be sure to pay attention to how to access TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project)... for me it was by holding down the volume up, home, and power keys simultaneously and then releasing the power key on seeing red letters. It might vary phone to phone.
2. Make a system backup with TWRP after rooting by accessing TWRP and simply clicking "backup" and then swipe. In the event that you need to restore just access TWRP and click and swipe "restore".
3. Use a file managing app like "Root Browser" by JRummy from google play to go into these file folders: "system/etc/wifi"
4. In the Wifi folder delete the first four files:
bcmdhd_apsta.bin
bcmdhd_ibss.bin
bcmd_mfg.bin
bcmd_sta.bin
4. Now reboot your phone by simply turning it off and back on again.
5. All done, your phone's wifi will no longer work.
6. If for whatever reason you don't want to be able to get it back ever again, just go delete your system backup in TWRP and you won't be able to get it back.
If you don't see these files in your phone after rooting, don't be discouraged. I figured it out with a little experimentation and I knew absolutely nothing about programming or androids... I still don't. Just make a system backup with TWRP and experiment by deleting different files that have "Wifi" in their name. Only delete one at a time or a small group of files at a time, and restart the phone every time as programming changes will not take effect until you do. Every time you brick (disable) the phone, just use TWRP to restore your OS (Operating System) using your TWRP backup. It only takes about 2 minutes to restore every time. I bricked my phone about 4 times in the process of figuring this out. Very simple and easy.
Also, your carrier will usually be willing to apply a "data block" to your account if you call them. For $2/month Koodo will apply a data block that makes it impossible to access data.

If I did this to disable wi-fi on my child's phone, could they simply undo it by doing a factory reset of the phone?
Disable Wifi on Moto G6 / Pie
I recently had to do the same thing with my child's phone. She was just too good at circumventing the usual child protections and getting on the internet to surf adult material and chat with random stalkers halfway around the planet.
She has a Moto G6 with Android 9.0 PIE.
1. Rooted it
2. Loaded a file manager and after much trial and error found that wifi could be disabled with name changes on:
/vendor/lib/modules/wlan.ko -> wlan.bak
/vendor/lib/modules/pronto_wlan.ko -> pronto_wlan.back
Then, reboot the phone.
The user can attempt to start wifi, but it fails. No boot issues.

Yes, they could. That's why I also used Google Family Link to set up a minor child account for her and made it the main account for the phone after I changed the file names above, but before rebooting. GLF prevents a factor reset from within the phone or changing the user. She could try to boot into recovery and perform a factory flash, but then it's going to want the same google account as before....and she doesn't have the password. Fastboot is locked as well. The only issue you might have is that google somehow thinks all 14 yr-olds should be independent enough to remove supervision, but I guess you could do the same thing that the kids do to get around age limits - change the birth date.
I also shut off data at the wireless provider.
Now, she's got a smart phone that calls and texts, but can't get on the internet or play store. Also, without the internet, no updates that will wipe out these changes.

Hi
I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime with LineageOs, rooted. I didnt find the files you were speaking about.
Except build.prop, but the mentioned lines didnt even exist in my phone files. Is there any other way to disable wifi permanently ?

Sorry for the bump, but I really need to disable wifi in a Android 10 LineageOS based rom, but none of this solutions works...
How can I do this?
How to find Driver Files to disable the Wifi
There were a couple of bumps on this thread regarding driver files for wifi and how people weren't able to find these files on their phone.
The answer is that if you don't see the driver files mentioned in the thread above, it's because they're called something else, if they exist at all.
For the Moto 6, I spent a fair amount time doing trial and error renaming of system files until something worked. It took me some time and research to determine that for PIE, the .ko files represented some sort of driver files. Then, I went searching for .ko files with wifi in them, and then finally, I located the two files mentioned in the thread above. For your phone, they may be in a completely different directory, or named something different.
I knew that I had figured it out when I booted the phone, and was unable to get the wifi to work or even detect any signal.
Maybe there's a parameter file on your phone that controls the wifi settings, or maybe you rename driver files like I did.
I've done this a couple of times now on my kid's phones, and for each phone, the driver files were different. The last phone I did, I went ahead and posted to this forum so maybe someone else can get some benefit.
Best of luck!

An alternative solution for this issue is to assign a wrong universal local IP address for all wifi connections and the final user cant change it... Just Saying.

Well Well Well, I'm just 2 years late bumped on this thread .
It's Andoid 11 minimum in these times or even 12 & now 13 is also available.
But I managed to keep Wifi off while keeping Bluetooth Pairing & BT file transfers On, Hotspot On & Data On specially because Flight Mode no longer Disables WiFi, Bluetooth & Hotspot (only keeps Data off) since andoid 9 i think.
------------------ Worked on Andoid 11 GSI, Galaxy M-Series -----------------
I] If you just want WiFi disabled permanently, then Here are the steps that worked :
> Install Magisk or SuperSU And Optionally TWRP/Any Custom Recovery
> Install any Root Exploration app & grant it Root permissions
> Create a Backup (nandroid or anything that can backup your data)
> Using the Root Exploration app navigate to (vendor/etc/wifi)
> Look for the file ( wpa_supplicant_overlay.conf ), Tap and select Text Editor option
> Change to this -> [ p2p_disabled=0 ] , [ update_config=0 ], [ pmf=0 ] then tap Save.
> Reboot.
> Go to Settings >> Apps >> Bluetooth MIDI Service >> Reset the app
> Go to Settings >> Apps >> Bluetooth >> Reset the app
> Reset Network Settings (Settings >> System >> Reset Options >> Reset WiFi, Mobile & Bluetooth)
> Reset Firewall Settings(AFFirewall+, Netguard etc.)

Now WiFi & Location should be permanently disabled but you can still connect BT wireless & send/receive BT files (mp3, jpeg etc. but not apk, exe etc.) also Hotspot, Data , Manual Location (Not GPS Location) works.
#BUGS: Windows does not Connect Automatically to phone Hotspot, manual reconnect needed everytime. GPS Location breaks but Manual Location entry can be picked-up by apps like Opera Browser etc.
II] There is also another same way to get WiFi, BT, Hotspot Disabled while keeping ONLY Data Enabled but that was not the original question on this post so no need I guess.
