my fexplore.exe is corrupted and I cant run it anymore and I dont want to do a hard reset yet. I'd like to copy fexplore.exe from another phone to mine, but I get an error about the file being in rom and premission being denied.
So how would I go about copying the files from the rom?
Should I dump the rom and extract the files??
please advise.

No, don't do anything yet about your ROM except create a backup file of everything using SPB Backup or Sprite Backup if you have it.
All you need is SCOTER KITCHEN to extract files or modules: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293296&highlight=ROM+Cooker
The instructions are there too. Just read it and carefully follow the instructions. You need not borrow another phone with this procedure. All you need is your own ROM files distributed by your manufacturer.
If after reading this thread and you still think it is too much. All you need is TOTAL COMMANDER (free) or RESCO FILE EXPLORER (not free) and install either of those 2 applications to the phone you want to extract the files from. Copy the files to an SD Card. Transfer the SD Card to the device you want the files to be replaced and also install either TOTAL COMMANDER or RESCO FILE EXPLORER so you can use either of them to transfer the file. OVERWRITE the file and you should be done after a SOFT RESET.
Good Luck!!! Hope it helps...

Yes, unfortunately, dumping a ROM and extracting files is the only way to get a working copy, but there is no need for that!
First, how did your fexplore.exe become corrupted? Did you overwrite it with a bad file?
If so, just rename fexplorer.exe to something else, then reset and the original ROM version will be visible again.
Alternatively, you could install the free PPC version of Total commander which is much better anyway.
I have both resco explorer and total commander.
so use total commander to extract the files from a dumped rom??

No use total commander to extract the files off another working phone (like you suggested in the first place). Place the file on an SD Card. Transfer the SD Card to your phone and use total commander again to OVERWRITE the corrupted file.
OR simply follow levenum's advise from above.

But I get the same error with Resco explorer and total commander when I try to copy fexplore.exe from a working phone to a memory card. Permission denied or parameter incorrect

Make sure you soft reset prior to trying to copy the file.
what would soft reset do?

It will make sure that the application you are trying to copy is not currently in use. That is the reason why sometimes Total Commander or RESCO File Explorer won't allow you to copy or transfer a file.

The reason Total commander wont copy it is becasue it's in the rom.
Is there any settings on total commander I have to modify before doing this?
I'm about to give up on this and just dump the rom.
You can't use total commander to copy this file.
No setting - nothing!
Files that are in ROM appear as usual in the list, but in fact they are stored in a special way so system functions used by all file explorers can not read them as data and copy them.
Only the application loader (the part of the system that actually runs apps)
knows how to open them.
This is why ROMs have to be dumped using special tools that can access restricted memory region using special commands, then unpacked and decoded before you see actual files.
But as i said before - there is no way you could actually damage ROM file, only overwrite it so renaming and resetting (soft reset - no data loss) should work.
As levenum said you wont be able to copy fexplorer.exe with any file explorer - its a system file and although its not running still not possible to copy - some other non-system windows files you are able to copy. You need to dump the rom if you want that file - or post the details of you phone anf someone may send the file to you.
fair enough.
I'll dump the rom
I have read all of the post on adding your town to the weather list, and have edited my HH_409 file. I cannot get it back into my windows folder on the phone. The original is marked as read only. Even total commander can't remove it. I cannot overwrite it! How do I replace this file?
Total Commander should be able to overwrite the ROM file. It throws an error message in your face, but should be fine.
The file manager I use is Resco Explorer, it never let me down regarding moving files in/out the \Windows folder.
You know that editing the file isnt enough, right? You'll need a patched HTCHome.dll... If you're running the original ROM, you might need to install the SDK certificates too.
Thanks Schaggo! Is the htc home plug in language independent? I do have the factory ROM and am getting resco explorer, maybe that is my problem, I was just using total commander and the windows mobile file explorer.
Yes it's language independent.
The File Explorer is rather useless, but Total Commander should be able to replace ROM/Systemfiles. But I'm not a 100% sure, I only know Resco does, it throws a warning message but the file gets replaced in the end.
So if you are on the stock ROM, you have to install the SDK certificates, then the patched DLL and before you reset, select/set your custom city. After the needed softreset youll be able to use any city www.accuweather.com lists!

if these files have "in ROM" attribute, you cannot delete or rename them.
but you can overwrite them with total commander.
disable TF3D, if file still in use - soft reset, overwrite it, enable TF3D
I mean total commander ce (run it on your device, not on PC)
Just to make it simple:
Attached .cab's, disable TF3D before install
Moved thread as not software release.
thank you matey for the cab, does anyone have info on how to create my own cabs

I was trying to copy shellresapps.192.dll file in the windows folder to my memory card so i can use the program 'Resource Hacker' to take a look at it, because it contains the wait cursor animation and i want to try edit it. However, it seems all the system files in the windows folder can't be copied or moved or renamed AT ALL. I checked the properties and unticked the read only option as well as other option, but whenever i press ok it doesn't apply the setting, so then i clicked the 'Associate' tab and unregister any file association with the shellresapps.192.dll file and hoping that i'll be able to rename or copy the file this time, but it doesn't do anything. And since i was careless, i didn't check the file path or the file of what the file association with the .dll file is, so now it seems all the .dll files are not registered with any program that it should be.....
i'm using EnergyROM and i did this in Total Commander. Can someone please kindly look at the file association for the shellresapps.192.dll file for me?? Just go to properties and choose the "Associate" tab.
And can someone also tell me how to copy or rename the system files??
Ok, first off the .dll you wanted to copy out is not a file, it's a module. You can't copy them out of the rom to your sd card with total commander. You can do this with rom files, but not rom modules (I'll let you look up the difference). There is an app called 'romextractor.exe' that allows you to copy modules out. You might try doing it that way.
Anyway, the rest of your post gave me a headache, so I only barely read it. I kind of doubt you deleted the association for dll's (I don't even see an association on TC), but here's the reg key you may need. Check first to see if it was messed up.
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dll]
"Content Type"="application/x-msdownload"
@="dllfile"
Cut and paste into a .txt file, name it and change the extension to .reg and import it if you need to.
i think i got it sorted by associating the .dll files with shell32.exe or something like that. You can check the association of a file by using Total Commander, right click on any file u want to check and go to properties. There you will see 2 tabs at the top, and one of them is Association, there you can choose to associate with anything as well as clicking on the X button to delete the association.

Yeah, I know, I'm just saying that I don't have an association for .dll's. You don't really need one with a .dll, because it's not a file that you open up for anything. You can change the icon to something else, though. I think you just need the registry key I posted, but I doubt that you changed it.
As I flash my HD2 weekly (sometimes more frequently ) I try to adapt my program cabs with my settings and my registration info. This way I don't have to adjust my program settings and registrationinfo manualy. This saves a lot of time when flashing a new rom.
For most programs this is working perfect but for the resco program's I can't find the registration info in the register. Does anyone know where Resco File Explorer stores its serial/license number?
you could try kheb, maybe it'll help

Hi. Just have a look into your registry (use CeRegEditor or sth.). Have a look there for HKCU/Software/Resco, or HKLM/Software/Resco - somewhere you'll find the entry that saves your reg-info. I found it for every program that I bought and use (and these are quite a lot). If you won't find it within the registry, then you will have to backup your whole program-folder as it can also contain registration-info.
Hi.
Resco Serials are stored in a file. Go in Windows Dir and copy the File wmtrigger.dat. After you flash new Rom you must install Resco Programs and then copy the file into the Windows dir. Now your Programs are registered. Make it all the time with Sashimi and everything works fine
Mfg Uro
most keys are stored in the registry dude... what i do to avoid re-registering all my apps and games... i use the registry editor plugin by resco, search the registry for all the serials after i entered them, then copy the key to the storage card.... transfer the key to my desktop, then import the key to the cab using WinCE cab manager... this way you wont have to manually restore the keys all over again... i save myself this trouble bcos i have over 30 apps and games
i also did this with resco file man...

Hi,
Thanks this is working. It works for all the resco programs which are using the owner info of the device. Essential is also to put the owners name in your device. I've made a cab with the wmtrigger.dat + the owner info and this is working perfect now.
Thanks again for the info.
