Hey guys. I have a XV6800 with windows mobile 6.1 ROM on it.
I just tried the Valhalla GPS and it did work, but then I did a soft reset and it wasn’t working properly... So I thought, ok I will just uninstall and re install. It prompted me saying that it did not uninstall properly and that there were still files on the PDA, so when I went to reinstall it, it would not allow me to do so.
So I went through REGEDIT and deleted it in the registry, went through the files on the PDA and deleted everything I could, same error, cannot install because there is still a version on the PDA.
How can I fully uninstall the Valhalla GPS so I can reinstall it? I was heartbeat away from a hard reset but I thought I would give the forum a try.
Thank you in advance!
XV6800 Valhalla GPS uninstall? 2
I also tried the Add remove programs ( 1st thing I tried) ... I dont mind doing a hard reset but I preder not to. (I have hard reset my phone like 10 times this year messing around with cooked Roms and im just sick of reinstalling everything, but if I gotta do it I will)
thanks
Quick Fix
Hard reset and do it right, by setting up the GPS - com4: & 4800 - instead of what I did.

I have WM6 running on a HTC Trinity (the Orange SPV M700 variant) has been wonderful for over a month now, last night I reset it cause I hadn't in ages and it was getting all bunged up and slow, when it came back everything just stopped working.
Touchflo, HTCHome, all the stuff i had running on startup instantly blasted errors at me, and all the applications i have installed wont run, including .cab installers..
The error is:
"The File [File name] 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 the file."
I'm not one of these idiots who just panicks and complains about a problem, i've searched google a lot, found that its probably the 'security configuration' and found a program that should be able to change it, only, it can't connect to it properly through activesync, i assume because of the same thing. I would just wipe it clean, even re-flash the ROM if i had too, but I want to back everything up first with something like PPCPimBackup which has worked wonders in the past, only, I can't run the executable...
If it really comes down to it i will just manually backup my contacts list and suffer the other losses, but i'm sure there is some genious on these forums who has a magic sollution..
Always keep in mind, it's called a Pocket PC, because it's just like a PC. So from here on out, be sure to reset daily, it's quick and can help over a long run. As far as it not running now (don't know if you have fixed it yet) but try another reset, sometimes when there are too many startup apps, it can cause some chaos and certain apps won't run. Or try uninstalling the apps not working and reinstalling after a reset, after the uninstall.
Also, always a great idea to backup.
I would like to think i'm pretty good with computers, if this happened on my laptop or desktop I'd be able to find the registry values or find a program to change them for me to stop it blocking the apps from running.
Trouble is, I can't run the PPC version of RegEdit because it is blocking EVERY .exe, If it wasn't PPC i'd boot it up in safe mode, using all the default values, but there isn't on in WM6 by default (to my knowledge anyway)
I've reset many times and nothing changes, turned it off, even taken the battery out just in case it made a difference.
I think i'm going to have to do a hard reset and suffer the losses..
Sometimes a hard reset is the only solution.
Saw this in a signautre from NiteStalker, both hilarious and true, "If knowledge is counted in Hard Resets, I must be a genious!"
Hello,
No matter what application I would try to install, it would fail right away. I thought that maybe the last application I installed was the problem, so I went to uninstall it from the settings menu. When I got to the Remove Programs list, it was empty! I cannot install or uninstall applications!
The last program I was able to install was this: http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=3646
Can anyone help me fix this, or will I need to hard reset?
I gave up and just did a hard reset.

i have same problem, i do tweak registry settings, but haven't for about 2 weeks before this problem happened. tried to use sktools to uninstall programs, but same result.
any suggestions? i do have a registered install of sktools for smartphone.
btw, im using a BJII with 6.1
Also, just realized i cant access the "about", "Accessability", or "owner info" info in "settings", it gives me "ERROR The settings could not be opened"
however, "version" and some others in the "settings" menu work fine (i haven't gone thru and tested all of them)
I have already performed a couple soft resets, with no change. seems like something pretty basic is F'ed. any ideas would be appreciated, i am planning to hard reset tonight if i dont get this taken care of...... So so much to re setup/install.... :-(
i did a hard reset, reflashed my bjII to the most recent 6.1 ROM. and now it is doing the same thing AGAIN!.
i have done no registry mods besides unlocking the keys ATT tries to restrict for their ghey medianet/cellularvideo links. and that has NEVER caused any issues before.
i Have installed:
NETCF3.5
Live Search
LEDAlertsSP
GoogleMapsMobile
Resco Explorer
Opera
SKTools
Increase Ringtone size to 25mb
the only app i haven't tried before is Twikini (a twitter app) it seems to work perfectly, but it is the only thing i have not had on my phone for an extended period of time.
Anyone with advice on how i can go about finding out what the real issue here is please lemme know.

Hello I think it wasnt necessary, I had the same problem twice, and flashed it again, and restored the rom and it keeped on non working. So the first thing i did was to unmount the sd card and mount it again and it worked for a while.
Afterwards I format microSD card- FAT32, other guy wrote in a forum with 4096.
here is the link hope it works for you

What can I use to absolutely back up my
touch pro before I try to flash a rom or put
in some app the screws up my registry?
from what i hear neither sprite nor spb will
do that
Doing a full system restore on a new rom is a lousy idea. You'll be importing your old, crappy registry settings onto a new rom, and in all likelihood erasing much of the goodness cooked in by your chef. It's really stupid, so don't do it. Your phone also may not boot up after you do it.
Go to winmo-experts.com, learn about SASHIMI, and use it to back up important reg settings and files, and to install cabs.
Use pimbackup or sk tools to backup your pim/messaging data only.
I think you miss understood my question....
I tried to load tom condons wifi mobile hotspot thing sunday. It didn't work so I removed it. After I removed it Active stync would not work. The carrier is going to swap me for a new phone.
Now while I wont try the mobile wifi program again, I am sure I am going to load some program, that will make something not work on my phone.
My last two phones a wizard and a mogul and my hp 4705 all got to the point where they wouldn't active sync at all.
I want something that will allow me to get my phone back to factory fresh condition with every thing working.... Hard resetting wont do it... the fine folks at the phone store tried for like an hour to get it to work right
I have the Verizon Touch Pro2 and it is freezing frequently. It seems like the freezes happen around text messaging (send/read a text, close the slider). The phone will redraw after rotate ONCE, then never again. Sometimes it recovers, sometimes I have to pull the battery. This happens very, very frequently. I was wondering if anyone out there knew about this problem.
ROM: WM 6.5 Verizon shipped rom
Installed stuff:
Microsoft MyPhone
Gougelet PE XnView Pocket
Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5
no2chem 1-Percent Battery
soft4vn.net Chinese Keyboard Font
Microsoft Windows Marketplace
Chien Homescreen Customizer
Skyfire
ScanLife
Facebook
Google Maps
mobIT Message Sentinel
I am using the non-Sense homescreen because before my hard reset it was freezing all the time. Now after the hard reset, after a reinstallation, the problem persists even on the new Windows Default home screen! What gives?
Please let me know if you have ANY ideas as to the cause. I concede that I may have to go through and un-install everything and try again, but maybe someone's knowledge can point me to the cause or tell me what I can try?
Sometimes when you flash a new ROM you do not uninstall all the old files and registry settings. When you flash your phone perform the following steps:
1. Clear Storage
2. Flash to a Stock ROM
3. Clear Storage
4. Flash your radio (if applicable)
5. Clear Storage
6. Flash your ROM
7. Clear Storage
NOTE: Do not use the hard-reset key press. This actually cannot wipe the phone as thoroughly as the builtin WM Clear Storage setting.
Taken from here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=1661617&postcount=1287
Before the final clear remove your battery for 30 seconds to fully cycle the phone. Does it freeze while using WM SMS interface as well as HTC SMS interface?
Ah, I see. This was a hard reset due to another problem where my company-mandated PIN entry bugged out and made my PIN stop working, which has the policy to wipe the phone after 10 unsuccessful attempts. Which type of hard reset would that use, you think?

It is hard to say, but if the phone is still on when the hard reset is performed then most likely it uses the one the WM Clear Storage. You should also perform a hard reset before re-configuring your phone, just to re-assure that all the files have been deleted. So once that program from your company finishes and the phone reboots, go to the phone settings and clear the storage again.
BTW, I noticed the same issue on my TP2 with the vzw stock rom. You might want to give this a try:

Download the correct version or your phone may stop liking you.
I have the same problem, showed it to a Verizon QA manager, a Windows Rep, and a HTC rep and all said they hadn't seen it. I'm trying the cab from ppcgeeks, hopefully it works. I have no other issues but the messaging
I even did:
Reset
S/w
Reset
but to no avail :/
Hi
I have some trouble with Zenonia.
I'm using Artemis ROM 8.0 with Manila 2012 and WinMo 6.5.3
If I want to start Zenonia it shows me the splashscreen and exit.
I can't get this to work.
It worked a few days ago perfectly (have a char on level 78).
Someone can help me?!
What I noticed is that Zenonia only works right after a fresh boot. Like turn your phone on, then immediately start the game and it should work. That's how I play it. If you do anything else on your phone for some reason it immediately exits
U know I had this exact problem just today..)))
I was at 40th lvl..then in resco manager while doing some cleanings I accidentally deleted(to the bin) my Zenonia folder...when I restored it..Zenonia just stopped booting(it started with a startscreen then crached)..I tryed to reinstall it couple times..then I completely deleted it on the phone including the registry..reinstalled..still didnt work(I backed up my saves tho!!)..
so in the end I did the hard reset(this time I backed up the whole stuff)..reinstalled the game..and it worked!
i notices that to that i have to softreset my phone to play zenonia.
but this time this way dont work
a restore of a backup didnt change anything.
i will not do a hard reset, because i have to spend a whole day to reconfigure my HD2.
it would be great if there are other solutions for this problem out there.
Man with SPB BACKUP u can back up all your parameters and all your software..then make it exact as it used to be..
anyway..for me it was the only solution..
impossible for me to get it working ...
even just after a fresh boot ...
any ideas ?
This problem is caused by the taskbar used by what ever rom your on, the most common problem is with the NRGZ roms, apparently the dinik glass version has no problems with zenonia, try installing a different taskbar icon set maybe that will work
