Hey people on the board!
I'm a relative newbie in this PDA-stuff so I have a question which perhaps (hopefully) is easy to answer. Problem:
I have an application which I run on my Qtek 1010. The application runs fine, but prior to using it, a significant amount of time must be spent on installing and configuring it. In case of battery-faliure, this needs to be done from scratch. I would therefore like the Qtek to execute a script-like file (autorun.exe) which performs this task, immediately after booting.. The file is present on a flash-card inserted in the slot. How do I do this? Where - on the card - do I place the file? In the root? And how do I detect it and run it automatically after a cold-boot?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thx!

Its quite simple
Hi there, your problem to fix is quite easy.
If you look in in your windows directory with the built-in explorer, you'll find a directory - either "startUp" or "Autostart" depends on the system language you are using. Here you put a link to the program you're having on card. With every cold- or warm boot it will be executed. :lol:

On the memory card make a directory named 2577, I believe the pocket pc will look here for your autostart on boot, try it and see. You can try putting a cab file in there or your autostart config file. I am not an expert in this but thats how its done with ipaq navigation system which is an automatic routine using the 2577 directory and I have also seen other software using the same method.
the file should be called 'autorun.exe' in the '\storage card\2577\' directory.
when you insert the card, the autorun.exe will be copied to \windows, and executed with 'install' as parameter.
when you remove the card, it will get executed with 'uninstall' as parameter.
and then removed from \windows.
but this will not nescesarily happen at boot.
just figured out another thing: the number you put in the .lnk file in \windows\startup is completely ignored by windows.
also, if the executable is in \windows, you may omit the path,
you may also omit the extension if it is .exe.
if you specify commandline parameters, your application will get passed upto 255 characters starting from the first non-whitespace character after the executable name.and including any newlines that may be in the file.
Hi!
Thanks for the response. I'll give the methods a try during the day and get back.
Thanks so far - I appreciate it

Hi there (again)!
I have tried the different suggestions with no luck. Perhaps I should have been a bit more specific. What I actually need is to have the autorun.exe run (install) a number of cab-files also on the flash-card. I was - perhaps naively - thinking that there would be a generic tool out there to create this type of autorun.exe file? I am looking for something along the lines of what is being done here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=508&highlight=autorun
Only, in the case above, the autorun.exe lauches a specific .cab-file which contains a ROM for the PDA.
Is there a "configurable" .cab-installing autorun.exe out there somewhere? Or should it be written from scratch every time for new purposes?
Hope I make myself clear

yes, it is in the extended rom, processing the config.txt file.
eeeh, but the location of the config.txt is taken from the registry, which is currently always set to \extended_rom\config.txt.

Could you explain that to me in more detail, please? As I mentioned, I am a relative newcomer in this Xda stuff Thanks..

what you are asking for is the autorun.exe found in the extended rom,
look for 'extended rom batch language' on the forum for details.
problem is that the autorun.exe from the extended rom uses the config.txt
pointed to by the "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm] AutoRunCfg" registry value. which always is '\Extended_ROM\Config.txt"
what you could do, is change the 'autoruncfg' string in the autorun.exe binary in to something else. and then fill your own config.txt path in that registry value.
Thanks - that sounds like the way to do it. I guess I would copy the original config.txt, add my .cab-files, put it on the flash-card and then change the key in the registry to point to the card. Is that how it would go?
Now another stupid question: How do I access the registry? There is apparently no regedit.exe like on my desktop?

Managed to access the registry using Windows CE Remote Registry Editor. But whooops.. After a cold boot, the registry is reset to factory settings?! Hence my changes of the path to config.txt are also lost..? What to do?

Hi ,
im searching too for a way to copy igo license card
i think this tool is probably the first step to success
copy the file to your PPC insert the card you want to now the id and run (works only on PPC)
The license.db works together with the card id i found a field by opening
the license.db with normal hexeditor where the id is stored ( field called "secid" ) but no way to change it because the file gets unreadable for igo
we need a way to change the id in the license.db
or change the id of the sdcard ( i´ve heard about an russian tool)
both methods will working
please help me
sorry for my bad english
Hi,
I have a Motorola A1000 that has definitely failed.
Before it had broken, I had downloaded the phonebook with all my contact numbers.
I wish to retrieve the phone numbers, but it is a binary file that cannot be read by any normal editor (ASCII editor, winword, excel).
I can see the numbers and the names of the contacts, but they're mixed in an unreadable mess.
The file is a file named 297.dat. It is one of many .dat files that I downloaded from the A1000.
It is impossible to read it with the cable SW that I used to manage the phone. The programs rejects any operation if the phone is not connected, and refuses to read the backup copy of the phone files.
Can somebody help me?
I desperatly need to retrieve my phonebook numbers.
Best regards
Alberto
Have you tried using a hex editor to manually pull the numbers and enter them into a new phone or just a text file? If you could post the file someone here might be able to help you if you can't on your own.
Here is the file
Hi,
I have opened it with ultraedit, but I cannot understand the rule by which the number and the names are associated between them.
I attach the (zipped) binary file. If somebody wishes to exercise his skill in decoding and decrypting, I'll be very grateful!!

Hi there,
I want to modifying one of existing .apk with encrypted sqlite3 database.
Once .apk is installed in S3 it will generate a unique ID with 18 digits based on IMEI and based on this 12 digit key need to input to match the database one. I have tried to decomiple and recompile .apk to under stand the code. But i could not figure out. As database .db is encrypted.
Is there any way i can open the encrypted database base file or can i enter into the application without Key to enter?
Much Appreciate on your help.
Thanks,
sabavnk.
