Recently i started to use activesync to share internet connection over BT with my pc, it works fine, though i have two questions:
first one is the synchronisation wizard that pops up immediatly after my wizard connects. i've noticed that i need to close it for net link to be established. I'd like to disable it somehow, so that i don't need to get anywhere close to my PC to connect, it's quite annoying. I even tried to capture the AS window with my own software to close it, but was unable to recognize it properly. any chance to do it?
other thing is, when i use usb to sync with AS, i am able to acces lan resources with total commander. I was hoping i can do the same with BT connection, but so far i was unable to locate the proper solution for this idea... would be cool if i had it working, i used to do it over wifi, but i prefer using BT now, help anyone...
thanks in advance guys
Still nothing, i'm stuck with this problem, would be grateful for any solution
Life can be so cruel...
So just for your information guys, problem is solved. though im rather mad about it, as it happened an ugly way;]
so i;ve finally managed to create an application that captures proper Activesync windows and closes synchronisation wizard, so that my xda establishes connection without me even touching desktop pc. thats fine. i just couldn't remember where in registry to place my app so that it opens when i connect (i don't like the idea of my program just sitting in windows tray all the time), the idea is cool, it's almost finished, i go google. "activesync registry"
first result is this...
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/applications/undocumentedactivesync.htm
you can't imagine how angry i get... ;]
anyway, there's no need for my program to exist, i just change/add one registry value, thats it...
just why couldn't i find it for over a month, and i did right after i found another way to solve it??? life sucks ;]
Hi! I have a HTC p3300. I am having trouble with it. I had WM5 and installed WM6 to try to solve the problem, it kept blocking and stoping, but neither that, even installed in Bootloader mode, solve my problem, at least for now.
Sometimes I have to format the mobile 2, 3 and 4 times a day (any suggestions would be appreciated) and, since I have to do that, I always need to install all my software, well, 3 or 4 programs, and to resetup all the device. My question here is, can I, in some way, create an image of the ROM after all these installations, just to avoid myself all those time consuming operations? I am tired and tired of doing the same thing all day. I am tired of having the same blue screen, well, white, MS-DOS style, saying that the device wasn't properly shut down, to press yes or no, and then it starts formating itself... Please, some help. I intent to send it to repair, at least to check how much do the mobile store asks me for the repair, and, after that, consider if it is worth or not, but, since I like the mobile so much, I really, really, really would like some advice on it.
The very same moment that I write this I am completely MAD with it because I was finishing one of the plenty formating sessions I do everyday and it gave the same problem, blocking itself, stoping itself (sorry, can't specify with an even exact word) when rebooting so that the Regional settings took effect.
I am tired, at this time, 4h25 in the morning in Portugal, have classes at 10h. Need to set the alarm to wake up in the morning, and really, really, really hope and expect some help from a lot of you guys.
Wait, the word for what happens to the mobile is FREEZE! Damn vocabulary at this time of the day...
My question was «How can I cook a ROM», but, since I have never did it before, any other preferable solution is also welcome. In fact, any other solution easier for me to do is a lot welcome. Anyway, if not, any help will be appreciated by itself.
Thanks for reading, at least, and I will be eagger waiting for that help.
Márcio Guerra
P.s.- Just by the way... Does also any of you know how to really «crack» the TomTom Navigator? It was cracked when I bought the mobile, but, after formating it once, lost the way how to do it, because the first time wasn't done by me, but the previous owner. If possible, help to this question also appreciated. Thanks!
P.p.s.- Mobile just went dead for all those formats! Any advice? Now, even in bootloader mode it just checks for the card contents and freezes in the big RGB screen... No idea! I guess that its time has come... Did it really died? Any help, please!
I know there are other threads on this, and I have poured through them. Everytime that I go to unlock my VZW Touch Pro 2, with the radio ON, while it is SYNCED, i get an error stating that I already unlocked another device, and that I should donate if I wish to use the program commercially. I feel like I'm being ripped off here. I don't mind donating, but I don't like being forced into it. I have NEVER owned another windows mobile device before, nor have i unlocked one for somebody else. As a matter of fact, of ALL the people I know, I am the only person who actually HAS a Touch Pro 2.
The main reason I got it was because of the custom ROMS. I followed the instructions involving filing a ticket with the htc-unlock support site, but nobody has gotten back to me. The weekend is the only time I have available to do this, to be able to fiddle with it to make it usable in my everyday life before I head back out to work.
I would like to know WHY I am getting this error. Is it because somebody has usurped my phone's identification and used it for themselves? If that is the case, can they track that person down? Give me their IP address, tell me HOW they could have possible done it, etc. If that is NOT the case, then what other problems could their be. All the complaints about this problem have NOT been answered publically, people were just told to go to the above mentioned site, or to private message somebody.
That annoys me, I would like to know the reason WHY this is happening. It should be common knowledge, and should not be made hidden. I've scowered these forums, as well as PPC Geeks, and nobody has an explanation for this. Can somebody explain this to me?

celitrd2, I don't suppose you are also on Verizon by any chance? I think I will wait till some of those bugs are worked out before I try to unlock my TP2 again. I don't even get as far as you guys. Windows Vista sucks ass!
I finally got a response back after my inquiry to the support site. They didn't explain HOW it happened, but they asked for my IMEI # and supposedly they're going to remove it from the "already unlocked" lists or whatever. Hopefully it will work, I'll report back next weekend when i will get some more free time to attempt an unlock.
I have sprint. I created a support ticket on on their site along with my phone imei# yesterday... still awaiting for their response.

Even on windows Vista, you shouldn't be having a problem using the unlocker.
I do know that a friend of mine tried using the HSPL Unlock on his computer, and kept running into problems. Turns out his phone was trying to sync with WMDC while he was unlocking.
Have you by any chance tried Plugging the phone into the computer. Let the phone completely sync with WMDC, then go into settings and deactivate auto sync. from this point you should be able to Do the unlocker without having any problems.
The problem I'm having isn't WMDC, it's the exe file within the zip. It will extract on the phone, but when I copy it over to desktop, a file with 0 bytes appears and becomes unaccessable. If I unzip it on the PC, no file appears. They said that AV programs will think it's a virus and prevent it from even showing up. So I disabled Windows Defender and Spybot, yet the same problem still happens. See, the PC with Vista is my sisters. I have XP on mine but no internet (except for VZ broadband on my phone, but that cant be used in this case). Everytime I use Vista, the damn thing irritates the hell out of me. Is anyone familiar with the services that run on Vista? Perhaps maybe you know what else needs to be turned off. There are no other AV programs except Norton Internet Security, and that isn't even enabled. I dont think that would do anything anyway since it's for incoming internet data streams.

I have a sprint tp2. never tried to flash before, ever. Have donated over 40 dollars now to olipro and feel pretty ripped. every time I do everything step by step active sync to the cab file download...but oh yes...the "fatal error" message every time. I'm sick.
Well I went to check the status of my ticket today, and it shows that it was closed. So being as stupid as I am, I assumed that the problem was resolved and I should be able to unlock my phone. I grab my phone, grab my usb cable and hook it up to my computer. I let everythign SYNC, I ensure the radio is on, and then I open up the unlocker. I click auto-flash, wait for the button to pop up to start the flashing, and sure enough I get the error message stating that I already unlocked a phone...etc.
What irks me the most now, is that when I let it be known to them that my time is limited, and the ONLY time I can fiddle with the phone is on the weekends they said I should donate to resolve the problem faster. That pisses me off, and it should piss off anybody who was forced into that situation. I would GLADLY donate money if everything worked properly, but it doesn't. I am going to start looking for a workaround for their security in the meantime. There were several leads on PPC geeks that I need to follow up, and I will not be donating if I am successful through those means. If, however, by some miracle they respond before then(which I doubt), I will be donating. We'll see what happens.

I completely agree! I never unlocked my device before - it's completely new and the IMEI has never been used (and I KNOW this for a fact because I work for my provider and know this device is NEW not REFURB) - and yet I am being told that my device is already used and they have to remove my IMEI from the list and to do so I should give them money. WTF?
Anyone been able to unlock their device on the first try without contacting them and giving them money?
I gave up on this. Just going to stick wiith the stock ROM and upgrade to VZ 6.5 ROM. This is too much of a headache for me. I dont remember unlocking ever being this difficult on a device.

I had no problems at all. Running windows vista ultimate on my home computer. These are the exact steps i took....Disable all antivirus and antispyware before you download (because it give a false positive and will delete some of the contents of the download), download the file to my desktop, allowed my device to completely sync, ran the exe file, followed the prompts and Unlocked the phone. I did use the paid unlocker though to do the sim unlock but I used the free unlocker for hspl. Make sure your not on a work or public network where someone else may have unlocked a phone. I read somewhere that it also prevents unlocks if someone on the same network unlocked a phone. Hope this helps.
Hello, I am seeking advice/help...
I can see by looking and reading some of your writings and posts that yours and others time is worth alot... I am not sure on how much I could spend as I have already lost funds and had my bank accounts hacked. However I will gladly see what I can do if someone can hopfully help me...
I have been without proper internet for well over a month now.. I have changed my wireless routers out twice even added in a AP(hardware firewall)... My internet provider also suppliea optik TV and that is all ran through the same router.
At first I noticed some new programs would appear, things would be moved around some things would go missing... it was very unnoticeable unless you were paying attention.
Then the windows start up acreen would freeze for 5 minutes sometimes almost as if somethinf had froze the screen so that I wouldn't be able to see whats happening(Basically started getting worse - passwords being changed on me etc... - would lose my elevated privledges almost as if I was just a guest account)...
I even tried using CMD in dos to get my permission settings back and at first this would work but then the dos/cmd commands(whoami / ICACLS / and a few other commands would not work and say they don't exist... I also started to notice the size of my harddrive change.. I was never able to get it back to the right amount of GB. I tried to restore it many different methods as well (win7, linux, dos) nothing worked.. I then also noticed the MBR would constantly become corrupt and same with the hard drive.
So I looked into things and figured it must be the bios or cmos.. I tried to flash it and just decided I would start from scratch... However, everytime the computer restarts the old cmos/bios is back. I then also found things saved on (A: , B: and X) ... They were all write protected so I decided to pull the hard drive out. They still showed up even if I had the hard drive removed.
** X: is the boot drive as well so every time I tried to reinstall anything a bunch of extra files would get installed as well**
**Drive B had a volume named RamDrive..**
I ran some system/ tests in dos on the memory and kept getting errors but would not tell me what the problem was I finally figured out that it was a system error because the range went higher(above the 4gb that it's supposed to be)..
Now 4 laptops ruined... I just got a new laptop (win8.1) was never used and had never been turned on and after the initial startup/setup had extra software etc and now is stuck in infiniti boot loop....
Also similar stuff has happend or is happening with fax/printer, pvr, tv, ipad, iPhone, Android, wii, ps3, ps4.. dvd player, basically all media devices and anything wireless..
I have seen lots of evidence on remote connections through IOT, P2P/PHP, IPv4, IPv6, ssl, http(local group/work group) now it seems like things are communicating through a technique called air hopping or coupling. (RF, NFC, WIFI, IR, GPS/GSM, RFID, Altel Bluetooth and a few others). **I can remove the wireless card and laptops still connect**
They even got into a desktop computer that has no wirelsss or bluetooth card... and never gets plugged into the internet. Odd internet type numbers started calling my house phone also my house phone if I unplugged it etc... then powered it back up and didn't set date or time it would reset itself... The play stations would turn on and off them self... I tried reformattibg and missing a huge amount of GB.
Also, money was taken out of bank account as well.... anyone who goes to where this all is happening there cell phones get infected tooo... it seems to update tbe phones in fhe form of a push update aka broadcast signal.. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated...
another thing i noticed was files like index.dat/index.ini... desktop.ini. doubles of everything in my registry... and the fonts i couldnt change or delete... i noticed files from other devices listed on my phones and vice versa for things listed on the computer... if this isnt the right place for this i apolohgize...
also it appears as if my phone is rooted.. judging by the files and folders that are on my phone but it says not rooted. there is apps installed that i didnt put there and cant remove without being rooted.. my phones are constantly connected. factory reset doesnt work anymore... Neither does wipe cache. also constantly streaming data even if data is off and airplane mode. i keep seeng something about a 299-amtel.. redirect in any and all browsers...lots of adware as well.
im not even sure i will be able to ge back on here... if not you can try emailing me [email protected]... i appreciate any and all help.. thank you and sorry for the grammer juat trying to type this as fast as possible.
Your MEANINGLESS title is discouraging people from helping you.
Please at least use a simple sentence to summarize your problem in your title.
Anyway from what you're saying, you should report to the police, or if you have some friend with network and PC knowledge, ask him for help.
Have you ever needed to use ADB at a work PC or a location you could not "install" applications?
Unzip the attached file and click the RunMe.bat
I have tested this pulling logs, pushing/pulling files, flashing recovery, roms, and anything else I could think of.
I tested it on the M8 stock rom 5.0.2 but this is a generic file so it should be fine on most if not all android devices.
The idea came when I was at work and looking for a solution for a problem I had. I could not install anything on my work PC, so this came in handy, the only problem is that it was outdated, or seemed outdated for my needs.
find the zip file here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347791558
This topic has been covered but is very outdated. I only found information from 2011 and 2013. The included information has since been updated by Google. I found it and included it, re-zipped it and now it is here for you to enjoy.
Thanks
to @Kickface, (where I first found this solution) wherever you went and any others who have created a truly portable (not minimal) solution to using ADB without installing anything.

I know this is totally off topic, I'll report myself for it later....
So, I installed the zip file onto my work PC, a DELL Inspiron laptop running Windows 7 professional (I really cannot get too much more info about it now) sorry. My nooby butt just went and downloaded the file not checking the MD5 :crying: Totally a dumb thing a NOOBY would do. It started to get late & I had to get ready to go to work. I know I had the command prompt screen (Black box) running and I then left the computer. 8 hr's later I come home from work and the computer is locked as normal, I to proceed entering Ctrl+Alt+Delete combination as usual & NOTHING (panic setting in)!! I was concerned since it was frozen from something I done, also I didn't want to loose all the work I gathered that night prior (is the very least of my worries now)... I took out the battery to reset the computer, again like a dummy, I started Windows normally ignoring the other "safe mode, etc" options. I click on windows Chrome, NOTHING! Not even an option to open the program/app. Okay, I'm really panicking now WTH did I do??? I knew I did something wrong, so I reset the computer by battery again, put it in "Safe Mode" which did absolutely nothing as I couldn't "open desktop gadgets in safe mode". Now, I restarted the computer from the start menu... Started up completely fine, I have access to everything EXCEPT Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc. anything that is browser related has the administrator shield on the icon. However, I still cannot even click on the icon to run as an administrator even if I had the password!?!?
Is there any possible hope to uninstall that file and just maybe it'll go back to normal??? I cannot re-install Chrome or Internet Explorer due to the darn administrator rights!!!
I've searched to the ends of the earth since last night trying to find a solution, this is my last ditch effort resort for any possible suggestions to point me in the right direction. Luckily my friend was kind enough to lend me his laptop and my phone is in proper working order:angel: If I tell my IT guy what happened, I'll be in huge trouble, going on the 2nd laptop destroyed, 1st time really wasn't my fault, just saying so u don't think I'm continuously reckless.
Any help as always is greatly appreciated! Hoping someone has had this happen maybe:fingers-crossed: and just a slight point in the right direction (link, website, specific thread on forum) would b awesome?? Again, apologies on the "off-topic" content, I don't know what else to do & I feel as though XDA is THE ABSOLUTE BEST forum site for any Android help, apps, devs research, roms, etc. Thx in Advance!!

I can tell you that it's not related to the files because I use them on my work PC all the time. I am working 10 hours days, 6 days a week. So the only time I can do anything out of the ordinary on my phone, it has to be at work.
That being said, have you tried system restore? I'm not sure if that requires admin rights, it might. On another note, tell the IT guy your internet explorer just stopped working, they love that. Because seriously, it's unrelated. The most he will do is uninstall and reinstall IE/Chrome. If that doesn't fix it, a system restore should. If that still does not, there is something off with the settings for internet access (I've seen that before). But if you are saying there is a shield/lock over an icon, that's new to me.
Also, I can install chrome at my work. It usually does not require admin rights, that and Firefox. There are also many portable browsers you can download from another PC and copy the zip file to the laptop, and run the app. Just search portable browser. At least this will help determine if the browsers installed got locked or if there is a network setting being blocked.
Let me know how it goes. This IS a bit off topic, but let's figure out what's wrong publicly so the mods can see there is nothing wrong with the zip I posted and then we can have our posts removed.

Thanks for getting back to me, I appreciate it.
I'm glad to hear that it's not the file bc I cannot uninstall that regardless. We do have crazy blocks on all the computers at my work. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the sensitive information we have (a drug tx center so everyone's personal info is in our database). We can't even update the time on our computers, I have no clue why. I asked him once, he said something about giving that permission would open up another way to bypass security (I can't remember exactly).
This is my laptop, I never even bother bringing into work because I work so much from home. For example my login at the office has updated twice when at home it's still my old login password. The computer is physically in bad shape (it's been used & abused for sure) I'd prefer not to the bring it in for him to see so I plan on waiting to Friday night (IF ALL ELSE FAILS) and txtg him saying I absolutely need to work & see if he will do troubleshoot remote access! I hope that doesn't sound too horrible :-/
As I was typing this I just received an email to restart all workstations due to updates/ changes to the server done this weekend... Hmmmm it could totally be bc of this!!!!! Fingers crossed. I may just have to bring it in let it connect to the local server reset it, and bam good to go If not due to this I can almost guarantee it's the internet settings that I don't have access to!! But the portable browser should work...
I will still try all of your suggestions once I get home this afternoon and report back to you ASAP!!
Luckily I have my friends laptop to borrow & Dell had some good deals on laptops last night so I ordered a really nice one since I really need a personal computer again. Which I will also get an expense check for (bonus)!! But, won't arrive until 3/16. Until then I do have access to extra pc's here I could always swap it out, but I don't want to be scrutinized or punished for being sneaky, it's really not my character...
Again, I appreciate your input. Also, totally agreed on the "off-topic resolution" first and then delete our posts...
Thanks Again!
Yeah, I cannot get through the security on it.
When I look at the properties or try to repair Chrome or IE, it has an incorrect path, totally crazy looking.
\\localhost\C$\os(c\Users\mludford.....
I'm currently downloading a zip for a standalone browser. Hopefully that'll work...
This thread in general is totally crazy too, it looks like I replied like 3 or 4 times, I DID NOT :/ I tried twice & it told me that I didn't have access to the post, with a grey button over my original post you replied to, saying "Spoiler"!?! Very strange....

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Needless to say it's not the settings or anything with the computer as I took it into work for it to "register" & update to the network settings... Nothing! So, I'm trying the above to see if I can't get around it. Thanks Again
