Calling Windows CE geniuses! - Windows 11

I need some help fixing a windows CE based device, can someone please help? The manufacturer no longer supports the device
Basically I have a ancient digital back (sensor module for a camera), it is in 2 parts, there is the sensor with it's own serial number and a e-back (which is the computer part). I've had to change my e-back as mine developed a fault. The eback I use is second hand and not compatible because it has the serial of another sensor.
The eback only has 1 firewire port and 1 CF card slot. The manufacturer was able to perform allsorts of updates using the firewire port with their proprietory software, which they no longer have
I have tried the good old trick of putting total comander on the CF card but it is not detected.
Basically I need to figure out where the serial number is stored on the windows CE part and change it to match the sensor.
Happy to pay for help if I can get it working.

Can you please post pictures of the device. What is brand name? Do you have any pictures of the serial numbers
I can look in my developers tool box once I know more about the device.
Did you test the (cf card) because it sounds kinda like that part is not working. Do you have an adapter for the card it is possible that the card is incorrectly formatted or corrupted.

The device is a Leaf aptus 22 digital back. Leaf as a company no longer exists. The device has 1 cf card slot and 1 firewire port. The base os is windows ce but it boots up in their firmware. I need to access the base ce os to see what is going on. Is there a way? I tried all the variations of creating folders on the cf card corresponding to the cpu type, though I am not sure of the exact cpu, I tried all variants. The screen on the back is touch screen and the interface that loads onto it is custom. No CE interface is shown anywhere.

The Cf card slot works fine for shooting images onto. Just cant get it to boot total commander.

Pop off the battery and under the battery there should be some numbers I Would need to see that plz. The total commandor is most likely not compatible with windows ce.

Wow. Sorry for the late reply. I was looking everywhere in my dev tool box and I couldn't find anything that will help. The one way to access the "rom" is to install net 4.2 with visual studio 2018 on your p.c but that really only grants access to the apps and gives you the option to make your own apps. If you have had "Total Commandor" working before on the device it is most likely you was running an older version of the program wich can be accessed through the archives. Clean the battery terminals with a cue tip I see some general grit. This device is worth a lot of $ so it is of importance to be careful. I see that the device is Bluetooth capable of accessing the memory. I would always recommend using the fire wire port for debugging 1394. What is the computer or device you are using to connect to the leaf? I am wondering if the leaf has a debug mode. Check the manual if you have it sometimes there is a cd with the manual with some drivers on it. Thank you.

Not sure if visual studio will give me access to the part where the serial number is stored the company never provided any software to allow you access to the rom, they used to charge thousands of pounds for simple config changes
The firewire is used to push images to the laptop using their desktop software.
I mainly used it with mac osx and Leaf Capture software.
Bluetooth was also used for sending images to a ipaq device back in the days. Ipaq needed their client software.
The battery contacts are fine.
I was hoping to somehow access the rom or internal storage like you can if you stick a drive in a Linux machine, mount it and browse away.
Thanks for your help though.

Hey,
I don't know about all those links, but if your drive is a IDE type you may be able to put it in a USB enclosure, and access it externally. It worked for me on an old Gateway PC. And if not, you can still use the enclosure for a safe way to backup data off site. Look into Norton Ghost 14, it works with USB.

Sounds like the only thing left to do is find someone that can place the platters into a working assembly and try to extract the files.
Any way good luck with rounding up all those files.
Nevermind I finally managed to salvage the files and struggle them off of the hard drive...
Hooked it up into another desktop computer, went to that drive... Set up network sharing on the whole drive and copied the files I wanted one by one...
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=790113VT
Included are ftouchflo_v1.4.1.cab and ftouchfloconfig_v0.9.cab for smoother TouchFlo actions..
The latest version of this ROM has been taken over by BitServe as Scott got a newer device I think. Even BitServe's version hasn't been updated in quite awhile (he disappeared from the forums).

HTC Hero, virus infected?!

Pardon my problem descriptions as I am no computer expert.
So here is what happened. Last week I have been connecting the Hero to a computer without virus protection and this week when I came home and plugged the phone into my computer, which is being protected by AVG, it was said a virus (Generic_r.GC) infected the phone possibly, as you can see in this exhibit.
H:/ is my phone.

}
So i chose to "heal" it and it was cleansed like quarantined as above. However, when i unplugged and plugged the phone again, I could not click into the H:// directly to open the SD card. It prompts me access is denied. as the following exhibit.
And then I scanned the computer with the phone plugged in with AVG and noticed not potential virus again. So I tried once again plugging in my phone and I see the following as exhibited.
Notice from the above, the normal "Open folder to view files using the program provided on the device" (as shown under A) doesnt' open the folder. It prompts me H:/ access denied. However, there is an additional "Open folder to view files using Window Explorer" (as shown under B) and it opens the SD card folder as if nothing happened.
I would like to know what do you think of this case? I scanned my computer with a couple of more virus scans and noted no problem. I also scanned the SD card with no further infections it seems. Could that be the virus is hiding inside the phone memory? Would that happen? Any solutions? Appreciate any help.
Thanks a lot.
This is a windows virus
The extra open from card is a virus and you are good to spot it...
Format your card. THOW IT AND BURN IT WOULD BE BETTER< TAKE THE LOSS.
HARD RESET your hero.
You must have got this from a windows pc, the extra open folder thing is deffo from a windows virus not a android one (if one exists).....
Also do a remote check using panda software.

yup, i know its a window virus, just hiding in my SD card or something.
and i just found out the "A" (open files from mobile device) is the back door instead.
i am trying to isolate it one by one.

I am sorry, what is panda software? panda security antivirus?
and you mean check the PC right?
Actually, I wonder if a PC virus can stay within my phone internal memory, not the SD card, and without being detected by any anti virus.
If you format the SD card on the Hero you'll be safe. But as soon as you plug it back into your infected windows machine and enable USB storage, the windows virus will copy itself on the SD card again (thinking that it is a USB flash drive)

seems working now.
what i did at last was, formatting the SD card, and cleansed the PC and connect them back together. The critical thing is I hope the virus wont stay within the phone memory itself.
Are there any anti virus for our heroes, and will there find windows virus and android (if there are any). i have been using Linux for years with next to viruses around for the Linux platform.so i would be surprised if there are viruses for our phones.
As I understand this, the 'virus' copied itself to the SD card and was picked up by the antivirus scan when mounted on the PC.
The only risk I can see would be if the SD card was mounted on another PC, it could then transfer to the other PC's hard disk.
I think like Mac OS X, Android it pretty safe... and especially so if the Hero is not rooted
Passing on an infection would be the main worry.
If you think Mac OS X is safe from viruses you are very mistaken. You should run anti-virus on that too.
As for Android - unlikely to get infected with anything but there's an anti-virus app on the android market.
As has been said before in this thread though - you were carrying a PC virus on your memory card. I guess you will not plug into an unprotected PC (or Mac) again.

I do, not had a single virus since OS X was released.
It greatly depends on what websites you visit and how many / what kind of torrents you download...

True. Also depends on what you plug your gear into as the OP found out.
Too true Mr Brit, too true.
s'why I never mount anything of mine on a PC unless its known safe.

[Q] Mac OS wont recognize Phone SD just EXT

Ok im New to the whole Android thing , but i am excited to finally get on board with a Google phone. I like the iphone, i have no problems with it, its just the new carrier wont work with it. I have 2 macs, Macbook and MacPro (hackintosh) Im am very familiar with computer and how stuff works, I understand 70% of the commands i have to copy and paste from forums to make things work. Right now i am stuck (and im 100% sure its not due to the fact my Desktop isnt legit)
I got this phone used last week, fresh install with a certain rom (i dont know wich one, not sure how to tell, have no ideal how to get factory roms etc.) the phone is unlocked.
Before i plug in the usb to my phone, i enable debugging, then i select, USB mass storage.
WHen i connect i get the " Mac os X can't repair the disk "NO NAME"

then the External will mount, (so will the internal) here is what disk Util shows
It says the internal is 2.36 gb with 12.74 gb avail and only 980mb used, 0 number of files..
Now when i try to unmount the external, its fine, when i try to unmount the Internal, (NO NAME) all hell breaks loose, i wont let me, sometimes i get an error saying i cant unmount etc.. when i unplug it from the computer its still on my desktop, DiskUtil goes crazy and doesnt respond, then eventually any program that can see the drive will not respond (finder, activity Monitor)
anyone know a way around this? do i need to put a differnt install on it? its a t-mobile phone, should i just dl their newest update? how do i actually do that? their webpage? thanks for the help

I do not think Apple wants ppl to use Android..... Jealousy I guess, You can try a couple of things one would be Downloading this software from: Salling Media sync app for mac This usually works but not all the time and I do not know why.
This will work until you find a real fix from TMO, Samsung. It takes a few steps but works:
First open Terminal (applications - utilities - terminal), then type in "gpt show /dev/disk1" without the quotes. Make sure USB Debugging is turned on. Plug in the phone, it will be detected in Finder as a TMO CD, after a minute that will disappear, you can eject it to get there faster. Then mount the USB device, wait for the disk error message and select "Ignore" then unmount the card then remount it. Then in the Terminal hit Enter to run the "gpt show /dev/disk1 command". You may have to run the command more than once. It should recognize your card at that point. Then you can access the card as usual.
BTW, THIS IS WHY I HATE APPLE, they are excellent at making thing compatible for their products but, give little support to others......
yeah i tried that, but when i plug in the phone Network settings pop up no TMO CD
you think it could be because of the custom rom that was installed? I tried to find out wich one i had, but no luck..
it seems like there is somethign wrong with the 16gb partition... maybe a fresh install?
Yes when All else fails fresh install also you might find someone with a windows based computer to check it it amke sure the phone is not the problem
Yeah thats my next option.. VM wont work because OSX see's the phone 1st.. i cant just get win7 to take control without osx getting their hands on it..
now being familiar with the iphone. i would just find a stable version open itunes and select what version i want to install.. seeing how i bought my phone rooted and unlocked. and not knowing what ROM i have installed, do i just goto t-mobile's site and get the latest software from there?
connected fine on a windows machine.. this really sucks.

[Q] Android TV box root and reflash, help

Hello everyone,
I am new here and like most posting a message for the first time I hope it's in the correct forum section.
For the record I have always been pretty good at researching things and figuring things out for myself but my current issue has me puzzled. Here is the issue:
I purchased a chinese Vivobox i3 rougly a year ago and for the most part it has worked well but has recently fallen short on its functionality.
After a recent power outage I came to find that the mini - air mouse remote stopped working except for 3 buttons which I found strange. I immediately thought no big deal just flip the box over and push the reset button and all will be good except pushing and holding the reset button then plugging in power cord didn't do anything except display a "safe mode" message in the bottom left of the screen after it booted up. This still didn't fix my problem with the remote. It still didn't work.
I went out and bought a new track pad / keypad combo unit thinking my old one had simply died but it didn't work at all.
So I tried using a USB mouse (which I should have done before buying a new wireless keypad at the begining) and it worked but things got more bizzar.
Using my mouse I setup my box (internet connection etc.) and came to find that all my downloaded apps were gone ( probably got wiped from memory ) and navigated to the Google playstore and tried downloading an app. The download appears to start by showing a progress bar but the progress bar never moves and it doesn't download any files. It stays in download mode and doesn't download anything, its weird I can check my hotmail visit plenty of pages but it will not download any android apps. Its as though the android firmware is corrupted.
In short, the box appears to have lost remote control functions, and the android functionality is all screwed up.
So this brings me to my current situation, I figured I would visit the vendor's website and get the newest firmware and flash mybox in hopes that it would correct things. I visited the vendors support website (vivobox.co) but the site is no longer up and there are no files anywhere online for this box.
With no files available I thought to try and root it and load a custom rom but I can't get the box to boot into android recovery mode to install the necessary files . I tried all manual methods I could think of but this box will not allow a boot into recovery mode. I then went online and downloaded Amlogic SD card maker.exe. Tried to create a boot recovery SD card and that failed. I tried everything.
The only thing that kinda worked was forcing a boot from SD card condition by using the shorting 2 pins method on the memory IC on the board inside with an SD card containing a complete image and firmware package for a mitricom box (found on XDA), except it freezes 1/4 of the way through the update.
In short I need to do one of 2 things, 1) find a way to manually enter android system recovery and root it to install a custom rom or 2) find a file that I can force boot with a compatible firmware.
Here are the specs. on my Vivobox i3 if anyone has any suggestions or has encountered this before.

I guess this isn't a popular board ,... or maybe I posted in the wrong section ?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Wow no takers on this one huh?
Well thanks to everyone who reviewed my post.
With no input from the community on this one I am gonna make it a dead request.
Moderators , please close down this thread. I'm gonna just replace my box.
All the best to all that read my thread.

My last chance, the sd.

Update:
My phone was not recognized by the computer since the usb flex was broken, the data lines did not work, but the charging lines did.
Watch this video for a solution:
Hello, first of all sorry for the English (google translator).
I will start from the beginning of all my problems.
My phone, Sony Xperia m4 aqua e2023, began to have problems with the original rom, so I thought of restoring it with the twrp factory, my phone was rooted and with the bootloader unlocked, without wanting to touch wipe internal storage, the phone was formatted by Complete and started. I thought it was all right but I started having problems like this: I didn't turn on the wifi, bluetooth, I didn't detect sim and the worst of all is that the computer doesn't detect it in any way, try 3 different ones and nothing, (with the flashtool , sony companion, etc).
The only thing I can do is navigate the device, but with problems, because it doesn't open basic things like the File Commander, so I can't run apks or anything.
The only thing I can use and I think it's important is the sd, he reads it, because I can see the photos inside it from my gallery.
Now, what I planned to do was: from my pc download the twrp apk and pass it to the sd, then insert it to my phone and install it, thus allowing me to reformat the phone with a working rom. But there my problem, I have no way to install the apk, because I can not find a way to run it without a file browser, since the phone itself does not have ...
I thought things like: an sd that when you insert it to my phone will auto-install an apk, like a virus, but I don't know if it could ...
Then also try that way to view the files from google but guess that ... does not open google ...
I honestly don't know what to do, if someone deigns to try to help me it would be very helpful. Thank you for reading this!

From the little knowledge I have about linux, what you mention is to show the list of USB devices, right? I know that linux helps in some cases for driver issues, but what purpose would this really be for? If you have some type of documentation nearby for me to investigate, it would be very helpful.
Thanks for your response, it is appreciated.

Can you install the app using ADB?
I wanted to know the device ID of the usb connection to identify in which mode your device is connected. Not sure if that leads somewhere but it's a base to start for me. also the follow up steps might require linux too

Install and run linux from a usb, then I did what it says, I connected the phone normally and ran the lsusb command, after no change running the command again, I tried to connect the phone by pressing VOL- and connect, but achieved the same thing, which do not detect anything. On windows it detects the phone as an unknown device, but on linux it seems like it doesn't exist
sure it's booted from pendrive and not just virtual machine?

I'm sure it's not a virtual machine, what I did was run linux mint on a flash drive as if it were a separate operating system. Instead of starting windows start linux mint on the pendrive, I did it following the steps in this video:

I talk about some of that in this post:
Test Point on Sony M4 Aqua (hard brick).
Hello and thanks for reading! The whole problem started with a bad rom, I flashed it and when I turn on the device, the basic things, Wi-Fi, data, etc ... did not work, but worst of all, the PC does not recognize it, for therefore I cannot flash...

And I also found information on this forum on the same topic:
M4 aqua E2303 test point [Answered] - GSM-Forum
Hello friends do i need e2303 test point picture The device appears in qhsusb_bulk mode. Can you help

But it's still not really clear to me what to do, for this case I'm going to need a box to flash the emmc, right? In my country I don't know where to get it directly... and I don't think anyone does these jobs
you don't need a box, just a file. try to get device into edl mode and report back (device ID 05c6:9008)

I tried everything, I just can't find a way to get the phone into download mode and get a usable connection to my computer, my device doesn't have any recovery currently.
