hey all
im new here, but i wanted to see if i could have PPC2003SE, and saw the threeead on how to do it. i was like , so i downloaded it, and followed the setup.All was good until i setup my device, as i install it, it says "setup failed"
The file ExtROM.exe is not a valid windows CE Setup file.
i cancel out of it, and it workds mainly, but things l;ike Activesync and the Camera dont work, how could the ExtROM.exe not work if i ran the setup installation like it said? thanks
Hi all, i normally make custom roms for our devices but am having issues with this one, its about to be the 1st Hermes in space [coz i am gonna strap it to a firework and send it skyward ]. I have the ExtROM unhider, i remove all the rubbish, i add my custom read-only cab's [all signed btw] edit my config.txt, then hard reset the device. All looks ok on the loading stage, you see my cabs being called and run, but they move on to the next file far to fast, and when i check the programs installed after, its not there, so its skipping the cab files. No errors on load, nothing, if u run the files manually they work but i did noticed they say "Unknown Publisher" on the certificate part of the install. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to overcome this please.
Thank you in advance

Hermes startup is full security mode. Your CABS need to be signed by a trusted root CA and you might even need the more secure provider level signature (although I'm not sure of this).
V1605
Hey EViLOPTiC,
IK see you are having the same problem as I'm having with my V1605.
I had a Qtek 9000 before did the ext Rom modification had no problem, I had a Signed disable security cab which I run in the cab first then all the another after no problem.
Now with this pda the signed cab still says it is not signed I've tryed anothe 3 another disable security cab but with the same issue.
All we need is a signed cab file that well modify the register 0000101a from 1 to 0 put that in the Extended Rom followed by all the another cab file we want to install.
Where can we find this cab.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP US PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Thanks

Been trying everything on the Internet and managed to make some headway with Monet (Virgin Lobster 700tv) unlock (this might work for Meteor/C700 as well).
1. Firstly you need to get rid of the 'registry security policy' lock.
Download cert install sp.zip:
[see attachment]
a. copy "SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab" to the root of Monet memory or card
b. Use file explorer on monet to navigate to file. Click to run. Should run ok.
c. Unzip "SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip" on PC and run "SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe" whilst Monet is connected via activesync
2. Copy registry editor onto Monet. I used PHM, but others should work. Note install PHM loader on PC whilst monet is connected via activesync. It might install correctly on Monet, it might not. This does not matter. Just navigate on your PC to Program Files\phm and find the .exe file and copy to root of Monet memory or card.
Also nice free remote registry editor here (works from PC whilst phone is connected via activesync):
http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Utilities/2005/1/Mobile_Registry_Editor.aspx
Excellent 'free' combined file explorer and registry editor (perhaps for later - after app. unlock) SGS:
http://www.handango.com/PlatformPro...925777&Ntt=registry&productId=195244&R=195244
3. Using phm (or the registry app you like) change the four keys specified in this guide (you might find the above process has already reset 1001 and 101b:
http://wiki.spv-developers.com/HTC_Application_Unlock_Guide
They are:
Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies:
a. Change the DWORD named "1001" to 1 (could originally be 2)
b. Change the DWORD named "1005" to 40 (could originally be 16)
c. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 1017 = 128 or 16 (before) 144 (after)
d. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 101b = 1 (this key might not exist, if so, create it).
4. Restart
5. HOORAY. Now your phone is fully application unlocked.
-----the following procedure is to SIM Unlock, this currently does not work. Possibly spv-services will be updated at some time to work with the Monet---->
6. Now download spv_services:
http://www.spv-developers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=236
a. copy the cert.cab file to you Monet. Select and run using File explorer. it should run fine.
b. Next step. Run SPV_services from PC whilst phone still connected via Activesync. Should unlock ..... however I get checksum error....
Will investigate. Anyone have any luck please say. At least we can now get the phone app.unlocked.
------------------------->
Note: I have read that the phone might again become app.locked if you do a hard reset. If this is the case, just follow the above again.

SPV-Services needs to access the internet.
A php is an active type of web page.
It would appear that there is something blocking it from access the internet. Most probably a firewall on your PC, either the internal windows one, or a 3rd party package you have installed. You need to check this.
If its for the Monet I wouldn't bother anyhow as SPV-Services can not currently SIMunlock this phone.

1st thing i checked was the firewall..
i know wat a php is i run a phpbb forum and yea it is a Monet (lobster 700)..
shame ( i really need to unlock the networks on it ) i have an O2 sim and wen i put it in it askes for a network unlock code.. if only i had that code.. any idea how to obtain it?
the only way currently is to use virgin or a commercial service
If you put at least £30 of talk time on your virgin account, they will send you the unlock code for free.
Otherwise search google or this forum for a commercial unlocking service.

Application Unlock for HTC Monet
Hi colonel
I have been trying in vain to do an application unlock on my Lobster 700tv. I have managed to install and run the "SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab" which went ok. The "SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe" also ran ok. However, running PHM required a copy to be placed on the Monet which I did. Attempting to run the "setup.exe", gave the following message:
"ALERT: Setup is Not a Valid Windows CE Application"
Because of this, I attempted to change the registry keys using "Mobile Registry Editor.exe" which seemed to do the job. However, applications still wont work (I'm trying to install TomTom Navigator 6).
I have since managed to load and run "MobileRegistryEditor.exe" on my phone without problems but I still cannot get TomTom Navigator 6 to run, although it loads onto the storage card ok.
Please can you help?
Regards,
leadweight

I also have been trying to unlock my Lobby to no avail.
Used a couple of reg editors but when u change the values the phone comes back "Unable to perform this operation".
I also used the HTC unlocker which came back with the same message.
Lobster headache
Hi bocsta
I had problems to start with but I had failed to read colonel's instructions correctly. I couldn't get PHM to run on my phone so I tried some of colonel's other suggestions. I found that "SGS Explorer" did load ok and I used its registry editor to change the registry keys as listed. I am assuming that my phone is now unlocked but TomTom Navigator 6 will not run.
Can someone please help before I throw my lobster back in the sea?
Regads .....

got my s740 from work, but it is locked so I Can't install any programs on it.. any way to fix it? Tried some of the other threads in here but couldn't find anything that helps :/
Tried calling htc support, but they werent very supportive...
The error message I get "translated": You don't have permission to do this. That is when trying to run a cab file on the phone.
Maybe I can format the phone in some way and reinstall WM without the settings from work?
If anyone can help in any way I'd be very happy
have you tried Removing the Application Lock on HTC s740 Smartphone?
The same problem
Security removig tool from Modaco installed but nothing changed. If I try to install PHM Registry Editor - still saying "Installation of bla-bla-bla was unsuccessful. The installatioin file is not intended for this devise." The only program that was installed for registry editing was SmartReg. But this software can't make any changes in registry. Read olny or something

i have tried to download cab a no. of tomes
also this is happening with all cabs eg:fpsce,YAHOOMAIL
PLEASE HELP
I have the same problem! Need assistance!
Guys try installing this .cab to device. Then you should be able to install apps again
Nop, this cab also canot be installed.
Can't install or unninstall anymore..
I have the same problem!
Can't install or unninstall anymore..
Can you install from known publishers or is the probelm with only unkwon publishers?
* THIS * might help
it happens with all CAB's and the problem is not only with install, I also can't unninstall. Omarket, WM Market and XDA Market can't also unninstall..
It's a common application lock problem.
The solution that I always use is quite simple.
1. If you have Regedit installed and working use that one. If not download Mobile Registry Editor. Unpack the files, connect your phone through Activesync and open Mobile Registry Editor, you now should be in the registry of your phone.
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies
3. Change the value of 0000101a from 0 to 1
4. soft reboot
Works for me every time.
didn't worked
I had the same problem, tried everything but issue resolved after hard reset.
Cant install any cab
Im among many that seem to be unable to install any cab after flashing CleanEx ROM 6.5.x (sorry , I cant post there!) but no fix appears to be evident.
Has anyone resolved this?
click on a cab and nothing happens (Im well experienced at flashing, installation etc on an HTC Vogue NFSFAN ROM) but this on HTC [email protected] has me beat!
