TomTom 6 won't start anymore - General Questions and Answers

I have been using my PDA for some time now without major troubles, but now the TomTom Navigator 6 application can't start anymore. When I start it, I get the errormessage: "Unable to start. An error occurred accessing a file".
Well, I tried to deinstall and reinstall the TomTom application (I bought a full licenced version), but that results in the same error.
I can't find anything, like a log or so, on which file can't be accessed, so I'm hopelessly lost now...
Anybody any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Sp5 update fails

- Activesync closes
- SP5 shows the 3 colour screen
- Windows found new hardware "Smartphone USB Sync"
- I get a Files Needed dialog looking for wceusbsh.sys
- Before I get to even respond to that dialog ROMUpdateUtility crashes (ROMUpdateUtility has encountered a problem and needs to close... blah blah blah)
I tried this with firewall on/off after fresh reboot, etc. always the same problem.
Has anybody encountered this problem?
My SP5/Activesync setup otherwise works fine, so I don't know what that missing file is all about.
Any ideas?
Thankfully the SP5 is not a brick.
Interestingly enough, I had the exact same error upon updating my SP5! The solution is to just search for the file on your local hard drive, then point the prompt to that location. It will then finish installing the device driver, and the upgrade will complete.
Yeah, that solved it.
Because the update was crashing before I could even click the Browse button, I didn't think that would have helped.
thanks

Hello,
QuickGPS doesn't download ephemeral data. I always have a good internet connectiond and I tried it often. It succeeded for me exactly once. The first time I tried it. I powercycled my device. After that it was possible to install the cab (I think the old quickgps application was running). And after that I was able to download my ephemeral data.

Ok, so here's my experience with my O2 Orbit 2, after two frustrating days and reading most topics on QuickGps, I think I understand what the problem is. So here's how i fixed my phone's QuickGps without installing any cab but just 1 download and playing with the registry.
My Orbit2's QuickGps worked perfectly for some months but and at some point some days ago it just stopped working. I started reading the topics here, and seen there's so many answers... but none worked.
I've set the registry keys as above... and nothing.
Well, that's because it's not just setting the keys. It's a bit more. A friend of mine also helped me, he has the same phone as I do (O2 Orbit 2) and I borrowed it for one day to compare the content of the two phones (registry and files).
So, the main cause why QuickGps stops working is because at some point, the ephemerides download that is stored in \Windows\xtra.bin gets corrupted.
So, if your QuickGps stops working, what you need to do first is check the size of the file \Windows\xtra.bin. If it's less than about 42k then it's corrupted. It's usual size is about 48K.
So you need to delete that file and download a new copy manually.
1. Download
http://service.mio-tech.com/eeservice/packedephemeris.ee
and rename it to xtra.bin. Then connect your phone via ActiveSync and copy that file to your mobile's Windows folder, eg \Windows\xtra.bin
2. Disconnect Activesync
3. Do a softreset
4. After reset, Launch QuickGps, you will see that it has updated the ephemerides data. You need to do this so the values of the registry get updated correctly.
Note: When you do this, the following registry keys should get updated by QuickGps automatically:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\QuickGPS]
"RemindTime"
"Bias"
"ExpiredTime"
So you don't need to edit them.
5. Kill QuickGps
6. Do a softreset
7. After reset, launch a registry editor and make sure you have these values in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\QuickGPS]
"folder"="\Windows\"
"region"="GB"
"INIDate"="20060531"
"remind"=dword:00000000
"actSync"=dword:00000001
"auto"=dword:00000000
"NotifyID"=dword:00001960
"INIFile"=""
"path"=""
"EEFile"="xtra.bin"
"curRegion"=dword:00000000
"curIP"=dword:00000000
"pwd"="1"
"authname"="1"
Please keep in mind that the key entry
"region"="GB" is region dependant, so you might have different entries like "region"="US" or "region"="AU" depending on where your location is.
8. Kill the registry editor, and re-launch it. Make sure the values from step 7 are in there and then kill the registry editor again. Repeat step 8 until you have the above values in the registry (I found out that for some reason, some registry entries were changed when phone was connected via ActiveSync or after I've run QuickGps and not softreset after).
9. Connect the phone to ActiveSync and launch Internet Explorer or a browser and go to any site, like Google or whatever. Once the page has been loaded, just wait a few seconds and kill the browser.
Explanation: you need to do this step because sometimes QuickGps just fails to connect even if there is an internet connection available. So you basically just force an internet connection. I was stuck 1 day at this point, my friend's phone and mine had the exact same xtra.bin (copied from his mobile to mine) and the same registry keys. However, my phone wasn't working and his was So sometimes it's not just the registry keys it is about enforcing a connection as well.
10. Run QuickGps and attempt to "Download" an update. It should not fail.
Just don't run anything manually inbetween steps, follow them.
If for any reason this guide does not work for you, then the problem most likely lies in the registry keys and/or the QuickGps's internet connection.
This method worked for me, hope it works for you. Let me know
Nice, my Quickgps is now working . Thanks
Menkul
It works for me great to!
Best Regards!
Works for me as well! Well it did once I realised I hadn't changed curegion from 1 to 0!
Many thanks
Thanks
Works for me too!!!!!!!
I used to have 6 days valid time and now its only 2d and 23h !!! I think ExpiredTime must be changed.
Many thanks
I had some problems with quickGPS, and now I´m using "seaSGEE" it´s a lot better, try it, you don´t need to install just place it anywhere and execute

You're welcome. You need to edit and enter:
"ExpiredTime"=dword:00002760
But I guess you probably already did that
That will give you 7 days (6d 23h 59m )

I have the same problem when I try to do an update I get a message "connection failed try later".. I do this via WIFI as I have never been able to connect internet via Activesync/USB.. Just was able to update meteo.. Can ayone help amnd givng me simple instruction on how to dela ??? Thank you:co
Mmm, yeah. Mine was working fine until 2 weeks or so ago, would ask me to download every 6 days and complete that just fine. Since then it fails to connect. I ended up just setting it not to try and download at all. It was getting annoying.
Is the update server dead or...?

I wonder.. I put the question to HTC and tehy suggested to do a hard reset... not very helpful.. What solution? Have you tried the manipulation indicated above? Did it fix the problem?

Problem Installing Taster Map

I installed the tomtom 6 from the instalation cd, then used activesync.
after it installs i click tomtom and it says i can download 1 free city map.
the problem is that when i press download it gives me a error message that says
Error download failed, cannot create pruduct code.
the map i am trying 2 download is Brooklyn, NY (usa)
i tried contacting tomtom and so far no help,
*update* tomtom linked the map with my account so that i can download it.
i downloaded the map but the file type is "application" i dont know how to get this to work on my touch cruise
i synced and placed it in the tomtom folder but that did nothing. Is this the correct file type that i am supposed to have? did i put it in the correct spot? I have no idea what to do.
any1 have any ideas? Thanks

Download and install TomTom Home on your PC/Laptop and from there update your device map.

i already have tomtom home on my PC, when i click update device or add maps, it says:
1) connect device to computer
2)switch on your tomtom device
3)If device ask do u want 2 connect to computer click yes on tomtom device
After a few moments computer should recognize the tomtom device and continue automatically.
I connect my phone and it active syncs, but the device never gets recognized by tomtom home and there is no way to "turn it on".
i have no idea what to do, this is very frustrating

The best way I could think of at this time is and start from Fresh Installation. Thats what I did when I was having problems with HTC mail.
After Hard reset, I installed first the Tom Tom software, acivated Tomtom on the device and saved the map tothe MicroSD card. softresetted and connect it to my Laptop (XP), then activated connection with my Tomtom Home and the device.
i just tried a fresh installation, i hard reset my cruise and reinstalled tomtom.
i still get the error message when trying to download the map. tomtom home still doesnt recognize my device.
Any ideas?

Problem With Pantech Matrix Pro

Hi, I tried downloading a game to my phone (Pantech Matrix Pro). It was a .cab file and I have no idea what I'm doing but from what I found from google I think it's good if it's .cab. It has Windows Mobile on it (I think 6.1).
So when I tried opening it from my phone it said "Installing blablablaba..." then it stopped and said "Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions."
After looking on google for an answer I found something about SDA_ApplicationUnlock so I connected my phone to my computer with a cable and with activesync like it told me to, then I double clicked SDA_ApplicationUnlock on my computer and it started up. Instead of actually doing something it said "Phone is not unlockable." After pressing OK it said "SDA successfully unlocked. PLEASE REBOOT SDA NOW!" Obviously that's wrong because it just said it didnt work.
So after looking that error up I found something about SP_AllowCertificateInstall or something like that so I put that on my phone and opened it from my phone. It was a .cab file. Guess what? "Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions." Just like before.
It's like a neverending circle thingy. What do I do??
Yes, the phone needs to be application unlocked. Here is how to do it. This is for the Samsung Jack, but it will work for the Matrix Pro.

HELP!!! Fuze won't load up!!

I have the Energy ROM on my Fuze. It was working fine today until I restarted it.
I get an error message saying "The file 'autoshortcut' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file"
Once I check "ok", the phone is unable to open anything of use.
The screen has the upper and lower task bars, and background, but none of the touchflow or clock show up.
I try reflashing the ROM but the phone is unable to connect.
I do not know what to do. Please help.
FIXED!!!
After turning the phone on and off MANY times, it finally got to the dialer before loading the touchflow. I was able to sync a connection finally and reflash. Thanks anyways!
Please delete
Re-flashing doesn't accomplish anything that a hard reset wouldn't have fixed. Also, if you flash off your sd card, you don't need to get a pc connection (although you will need a card reader).
