Deleting protected system files - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

I'm trying to delete BrandedBrowser.exe so I can replace it with iexplorer.exe but WM5 is refusing because it;s a protected system file. Howto go about deleting/replacing the file?

Protected files cannot be removed AFAIK but you can 'replace' them with a file with the exact same name.

And how do I do that? Just copy over it? Like I sadi I'm trying to replace brandedBrowser.exe with iexplore.exe but when I try to copy iexlore.exe it sais access denied.

I don't understand: do you have both files on your PPC? And if so, why don't you simply create/edit a link that points to iexplore.exe?

Okay let me explain it. I have a T-Mobile MDA Vario which comes branded with alot of T-Mobile stuff.
Alot of good stuff but some bad and one really annoying one, everytime you start Internet Explorer a popup comes up asking "Do you want to connect to the internet" Ok/Cancel.
By looking at the cab files in the extended rom I've been able to disable this when you start iexplore.exe.
Now also the Vario comes with a custom T-Mobile today plugin which allows you do a few stuff one of which is start Internet Explorer.
What this plugin does is, when you click the internet icon, instead of starting iexplore.exe start BrandedBrowser.exe.
BrandedBrowser.exe is basicly the same as iexplore.exe but with a different icon and also it shows the annoying popup.
Now since BrandedBrowser.exe and iexplore.exe basicly do the same I want to replace BrandedBrowser.exe with iexplore.exe.
And yes both files are on the device under \Windows
I've tried editing HTCTodayScreen.dll with a resource editor but that doesn't work, I'm guessing the applications need to be signed or something.

If I were you, I would just upgrade to the latest (Qtek) Rom.
Then your problem is solved and you will be up-to-date and have a good (fast) Rom.

The thing is that I don't need the AKU2 stuff added in the latest ROM and I really like the added functionality of the T-Mobile ROM. And I dread that QTek bootscreen, it's horrible and there's no sollution to change the bootscreen of the AKU2 roms.

Replace wavedev.dll

Hello,
As everybody already knows there are some serous problems with Qtek9090 device type models and carkits. A nice echo is produced when somebody is calling. I have a wavedev.dll file that should resolve this issue but I can't replace it on my Qtek9090 because it's a system file. How can I force this replacement?
Thanxz for any response, I bought this complete set and i'm thinking about it to return it. Operator T-Mobile, rom1.40, radio 1.20.
Peterpanman.
rename existing wavedev.dll to wavedev.bak, copy the new file and reboot.
Just curious but is it definitely Radio 1.20 or 1.12 as 1.13 is the latest I know of....
wavdev.dll
hello mamaich,
of course i can not rename the file because it is a system file, in use, attributes can not be removed. anybody has another idea?
peter
(sorry for the type mismatch radio 1.12)
Re: wavdev.dll
1. All files in ROM can be freely overwritten even if they are loaded by applications. But they of cause cannot be renamed.
2. Files in object store that are opened cannot be overwriten. So if you cannot do that - than this file is contained in object store and was already updated, probably by some CAB from extended ROM.
3. WM2003 allowed opened files from object store to be renamed. According to your post you have 2003SE.
If you cannot rename this file - the file may be in ROM, so you can freely overwrite it with explorer.
If you cannot overwrite it - you still can rename it. In this case after renaming there would 2 copies of file. One with the new name, and the old wavedev.dll would reappear (the ROM version would be visible again).
In some rare cases some program may completely prohibit access to the file, but i've never seen that for DLLs. Unless you are using some PocketPC antivirus (a completely silly idea by the way). In this case uninstall antivir and do a soft reset.
WM2005 does not allow user to overwrite ROM files, but they can be still overwritten by OS itself, for example by creating a custom CAB file. I do this in my WM5 patches.
Not working
Hello mamaich,
Thanks for the complete answer but unfortunally none of these options work. Renaming the file does not create a new copy of the renamed file. I can't even copy the file, it says \\Windows\wavedev.dll access denied. Maby you can tell me how to create a .cab file so that this file is copied and overwritten? something with .net or something?
Thanxz,
Peter

Pocket Internet Explorer update Trinity-Hermes

Hi, I'm having a HTC Hermes, and since AKU3 and WM6 ROMs the Pocket Internet Explorer have a bug. It doesn't send the User Agent String anymore. This bug causes no access to provider-multimedia-content anymore.
On Trinity-HTC-ROMs the PIE does work, but I have no Trinity.
Can somebody please help and zip or rar the 4 hidden files in Windows Directory on Trinity starting with "ie"..
The files are in ROM-Memory, so you have to unhide and select the files and say Duplicate by tap&hold in Resco Explorer.
Then you get 4 files in Windows-Dir starting with "Copy of IE..."
These files can be copied outside of Windows to a zip and posted here if anybody want to help us Hermes-Owners.

I will do it just a minute
All the files start from IE is:
IECEExt.dll.0409.mui
IECEExt.dll
iexplore.exe
iexplore.lnk
I search in my dumped rom and in my ppc windows dir..
Did you whant those file's ???
YES YES, searching for them since weeks!!!
There it is....
Thank you very much.
I replaced the files, but still not working to connect to my Provider.
i tried to change the registry settings, where the User Agent is set, and now i changed the iexplorer.
What else can it be? The Internet Explorer still sending Mozilla/4.0 as User Agent, even if deleting all Mozilla/4.0 Strings!

that's a standard header on all User-Agent Strings... I suggest you get the regular one for IE from WM5 and port it across.

Modded Cappackage.pxp Files

So I thought it would be worthwhile to create a thread focusing on modified "cappackage.pxp" files. These are the files which control the default carrier specific configurations. In my case, I am running the Aussie "Three" WM6 OS, however I wanted some, but not all, of the ATT customizations. For example, I wanted the proxy tool, the logos and the certs . . . Attached is a modified version of the ATT cappackage.pxp file. I had difficulty configuring WindowsMobileLive.cab and the HTC task manager to automatically install as part of this new file so I will post those cab files as well for convenience (for those who may want it).
If you have a customized cappackage.pxp, please post it in this thread and describe how it has been modified so everyone can decide which they may want to use.
Here are the changes I made to the cappackage.pxp file. Note, all of these .cab files should be possible to install directly simply by extracting from original ATT WM6 cappackage.pxp in case you happen to need one of them:
delete getgood.cab
delete getmail.cab
delete realplayer.cab
delete getmobitv.cab
delete cmradio.cab
delete attmallandmusic.cab
delete musicid.cab
delete jarguarrm.cab
delete gettelenav.cab
alter "Att_Settings.prov.xml" to remove messaging and Windows Mobile Live registry customizations
add install of new devstate.dll (exists in 3AUS cappackage.pxp and also in ROW 2.23 cappackage.pxp)
ABS
EDITED 12-30-2007: Note - this altered cappackage.pxp file is based off the "leaked" ATT WM6 ROM.

I honestly do not know. Sorry. You might ask Olipro as he seems to be very knowledgeable.
abs99, what tool did you use to repackage your PXP file. I've tried several archive tools to .ZIP and rename, but no joy. I've looked, but can't find any info on PXP file creation. Surely, I'm missing something simple here.
TIA
I found that "winrar" can handle the files without a problem. I had also noticed that the date stamps were the same for all the files in the original package, so I also use a tool called "stamp it" to set all the dates on all the files in the new package to the same original date.
thanks. I found that 7-zip is working too.
Now, the next step, I'm trying to mod the capdata.xml file and for whatever reason the device will not recognize it after my mods.
Here's my version of an ATT config file:

Any thoughts? This is just a basic mod and plan to get more detailed configs in there once I figure out what I'm doing wrong.

The issue with this file may be that editor you are using is adding "white space". I found that some editors caused this to occur. I ended up the file in notepad to avoid the problem as it was a real mess to deal with any other way. You should open the original unedited file and your new edited file in notepad and compare both. For whatever reason, the OS does not like to deal with a properly formatted .xml file!
Thanks mate, the white space and file size were the culprit. Was trying to cheat and use MS xmlnotepad - very easy to use, but it added the whitespace as it made it pretty to look at. I also was trying to cram too much into my archive; the extracted archives need to fit in the 8.4mb along with the archive itself.
Attached is a custom CapPackage.PXP with the following (based from ATT 2.25 ROW, CapPackage.PXP):
ATT Theme
Regional Settings: US, - 5 EST
ExtROM mount and rename
Custom ringtone
Custom Sounds Settings
Delete poutlook.lnk from startup
Set Hello to ATT
Disable CAB security policy
Removed all ATT applications (CV, real, win live, etc)
TODO: Incorporate RegHacks of additional settings customization and tweaks (lots of typing...), right now I install and merge the apps I want after initial setup completes.
Cheers
HOW TO
***always a good idea to backup existing files before attempting any modification***
1. mount your extended rom (search for the cabs and instructions on this site)
2. copy the CapPackage.PXP from ExtendedROM\Partition to your PC
3. extract the contents to a folder named CapPackage on your PC (any ZIP compliant archive tool will do)
4. remove/add the *signed* cab files your desire (unsigned cab files simply get passed over)
5. open capdata.xml in epcEDIT or notepad.
6. add/remove the configuration information as desired - this is where some trial and error comes in trying to determine what commands control what function.
7. ZIP (no other archive format seems to work) the CapPackage folder to CapPackage.PXP (or rename .zip to .pxp).
8. copy to ExtendedROM and hardreset.
TODO:
-Hope to be able to post a list of commands for the XML to enable configure of most if not all device "settings"
-Hope to figure out a way to get unsigned cabs to install (present workaround is a zip extract and registry commands if the app isn't too complex (e.g. lots and lots of typing required)
--Not sure yet if reg hack setting "HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies' valuename '0000101a' to dword:1" will resolve this during initial setup
Okay, after getting my questions about how this all works and saves the space on the phone, I took the plunge and upgraded from 2.23ROW to 2.25ATT. Went smooth as butter, and I have a "decrapified" phone with the official, supported ATT release (just in case I have any problems and need support).
Of course, being a hacker, now I'm totally intrigued by this cappackage customization, and want to play with it myself. So, Tim et. al., two questions:
Does the capdata.xml file have to match the contents of the archive? Or, if something's missing, it's just ignored? I'd like to be able to delete some more stuff and remake the PXP file without having to hassle with the XML file and run into the problems you have (workable, but I just don't want to waste time on whitespace issues if I don't have to).
Does the carrierDB file need to stay in the extended ROM for any reason after install and setup? I'd like to archive it on my PC, and delete it from the extrom so I can use that space for general storage.
microsoft word has a wonderful xml file editor. rather than try and keep everything straight in that jumbled up mess you get out of notepad or some other editor, word indents all the xml, and makes it look like it should. it was a snap to edit. I used Winrar and opened the PXP file. I never extracted the contents. Just the capdata file. I edited it, and then put the edited version back into winrar. using winrar I deleted the files I didn't want. saved the archive and moved it back to the device.

1. The XML will bypass anything it can't actually do.
2. I have tried it both ways and feel like I've had no issues, but I have seen some reports of strange behavior without it. I currently have it in my ExtROM since I hard reset my device often as I test apps and config settings. If you don't hard reset very often then once the device is hard reset you may delete and gain an additional 1.45mb.
The thing I intend to work on next is creating a provisioning XML to call an external XML (outside of the cappackage). I'm hoping this way I will be able to strip even more out of the cappackage (literally everything but the capdata.xml) and hav an on the fly configuration capability and call installations and configuration from the SD card. Haven't had much time to play with it though.
Can someone help point me in the right direction to get start loading the cappackage. I can't seem to find how to mount the extended ROM. I did a search for it and everything that came up didn't explain it (or at least I didn't understand it if it did).
Hmm, I can't seem to find the original thread either. Really just registry entries, but the cab's make it easier.
See attached...
Run each in order, then soft reset
Cheers
FYI: You can use my cappackage (see pg 1) as a starting/reference point for building the extROM mount into the initial config process after hard reset...
Try this. ...............

Thanks to both of you for the quick response
I don't know whether it is because of this or because of something else. But I started modding this CapPackage file, and all of a sudden my treo just started acting weird. I had to hard reset it several times throughout the day. Then I upgraded to the 2.25 WM6. And that is where **** really hit the fan (I upgraded and put my own CapPackage version in it). And after that I've had nothing but trouble. Soft resets didn't work anymore, it just crashed on the boot screen. Hard resets work, but really slow, takes about 20min. So now I'm re-upgrading to 2.25 and just leaving that CapPackage file alone for now .

Vodafone Live!

Hi,
Does anyone now how to get the Vodafone Live portal with mobile tv working for my S730???
Many, many thanks!
Jaspar
you can't (yet) because they say it's not supported yet for the S730.
So you can wait or you can tweak your browser (surf google)
anyone knows how to change the USER AGENT string from IE then??
Is there still no solution to this problem? I even changed my browser.dll to get the N95 User Agent string, but its still not working.
I've been trying to get the browser.dll to modify but it seems to be unable to be modified or even copied to my PC to be edited?
Could this be simply because it is security locked?
How did you copy the browser.dll to your PC and then back again after you'd modified it?
I finally made it work!
I finally can use Mobile-TV and Vodafone Live on the S730. Here are my settings. (sorry this is for the german OS)
1. Connections->GPRS
Name: Vodafone live!
Verbindet mit: Büro
Zugriffspunkt: wap.vodafone.de
2. Connections->Proxy
Name: Vodafone live!
Verbindet Von: Büro
Verbindet Mit: WAP-Netzwerk
Proxy: 139.7.29.1:80
Typ:http
3. Settings->GPRS Authentifikation
CHAP
4. Streaming Media->Optionen
Verbindung über:Büro
5. Internet Explorer->Options->Connection
Network: WAP-Netzwerk
6. copy attached browser.dll to Smartphone/windows folder
->overwrite old file
7. change registry-key
HKLM/Security/Internet Explorer/User Agent->Values „Custom“:
String „Vodafone/1.0/HTC_Mercury/1.20.162.3/Mozilla/4.0“
After this steps vodafone live works for me.
Do I copy all the details literally to my S730 or do I need to modify to English first?
How its possible to change dlls. I didn't see this files in th explorer of Windows Mobile on the HTC S730. And I have no permissions to edit this file in Windows Vista when the phone is connteced...
Did everything, but when i start Pocket IE i get the warning that the program is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate.... how can i change this????
Ok, I got this warning too (in another forum they say this is because of the changed checksum of the dll), but I was able to select OK (or continue) and then it worked for me.
To get the dll was a little bit more complicated (it took me about 5 hours and a lot of Google, but if you know how to cook a ROM it will be easier for you) because you have to dump the original ROM from your phone. I used the information from here
and here But you have to add a blocksize parameter to the pdocread.exe-tool, (I think it was "-b 0x800") to be able to read the ROM data.
After the whole dumping of the ROM you have all the original files from the ROM on your pc.
But I hope this dumping is not necessary for you because the browser.dll should be nearly the same for all languages (the only issue is that the Pocket IE recognize that this file was changed, but it should start afterwards). I even tried a browser.dll from tytn II and the IE started (but the softkeys didn't work then) By the way, if you want to restore the original browser.dll simply delete the modified one and the the smartphone will get the original one from the ROM of the phone.
I hope anbody else will be sucessful with this whole vodafone-live issue, because for me it was definitely worth the trouble (especially because of CNN-mobile tv).
Sorry for my bad English, I try to give my best to make me understandable.
I forgot one thing. When I opened the registry I had two values under HKLM/Security/Internet Explorer/User Agent, I think it was "custom" and "custombase". I deleted "custombase" and changed "custom" to „Vodafone/1.0/HTC_Mercury/1.20.162.3/Mozilla/4.0“. So now I only have one value there.
I have done everything mentioned in the post from Miffmaster above including replacing the browser.dll (had to copy it to my storage card first and then used Resco Explorer to copy it to the Windows folder as it wouldn't let me overwrite directly to the Windows folder from my PC)
I have also changed the user string and GPRS, Proxy settings etc...
Now when I start Internet Explorer I get "Access Denied. This program cannot start because it is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate" and the only option is OK with ends the program!!!
Is there a workaround for this or have I done something wrong?
Maybe you could try change the following registry value to "1":
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies
valuename '00001001' was set to dword:2, change it to dword:1
This should give you permission to run unsigned certificates. (see here
What WM version are you using, 6.0 or 6.1? Because my browser.dll came from the original 6.0 Standard ROM.
I'm using the cooked WM6.1 and when I checked, the policies dword was already set to 1 unfortunately!
I don't really want to go back to 6.0 as 6.1 is much faster in general.
Anyway, why should that make a difference to Internet Explorer which is almost certainly the same version anyway???
Have you considered moving to 6.1 yourself and re-doing the browser.dll if you think it will be different?

Opera Mobile opening cab files as text

I have this problem with Opera Mobile 9.5 where I try to download a cab file to install on my phone but it instead opens the cab file as text. There isn't a "Save file as" option in the menus so how can I download the cab file without opening it as text?
Type in opera:config and check through the settings, or you could reinstall.
Guys I am having this problem also and need to fix it.
The thing is when I type :config in Opera and try to log into settings nothing happens. Please how can I remove that **** Opera off my phone?????????
Need to install all the cabs that I need...
Any help would be appreciated, thanks
I have never had any problem downloading anything with Opera... Actually, I tend to try and use Opera to download with because it's download manager works so well.
It sounds like you have a setting off somewhere in your phone... probably with Opera, assuming you can download with IE just fine.
Also, you want to type in the address bar "opera:config" without the quotation marks, and that is where you will find the advanced settings that control downloads with Opera.
As well, maybe try downloading a different version of Opera? I like this one:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/ywydu3iczxn/WM6_PPC_HTC_Opera9-build_15954_WWE_QVGA.CAB
That is not what I mean.
I downloaded files throught my PC, hooked Omnia to it and copied the files to the phone's SDcard.
The cab files of all progs are "branded" Opera. meaning if you want to run them, they open through Opera and not execute style. Got it?

Ah, ok... I don't think that is the same problem they were having... I don't know what the solution to that would be, since a .cab file is an .exe file written to run a PPC, thus when you click on it, it should run itself without any other program opening it...
I would say try downloading the cab files directly on to your phone with the built in browser, save them to your memory card of course...
But if you are copying a .cab file on to your phone, and using file explorer to launch it, there is no reason it shouldn't work, it is a self executing file that doesn't look for a mother program to run it... Unless somehow you have managed to change them so that they try and open with Opera, either through your phone settings or properties of the cab itself type thing.
I think I have no choice but to disable or uninstall Opera in some way.
If someone can help me to do this, I think I can manage with the cab files then...
I don't think that will fix your problem. Those files will still be linked to Opera. And if Opera is part of your ROM, you can't uninstall it... actually even if you loaded it yourself, unless you did one of the uninstallable versions, it can't be uninstalled...
At this point, it would help if you gave more information:
What, if any mods, you have done to your phone?
What program did you use to copy the files to the SD card?
Where did you get the cab files?
Heck, what cab files are they?
These mods:
http://www.samsung-omnia.org/how-to/howwhatwherewhichwhywhen/
And the cab files are related to advanced configuration tools, Omnia patched dialler, SPB mobile shell and a couple others.
You might want to ask that forum for assitance? It looks like they are pretty dedicated to the Omnia, which most everyone here does not have one. This forum is for the HTC Kaiser specifically, and the site as a whole is dedicated to HTC devices. Perhaps post in the general section of this site, but I think you will have better luck with the omnia site you got all of your cabs from.
In general, without having screen shots, or hands on knowledge of the cab files you are trying to use, about all I can say(and anybody really) in this forum is that there is something corrupt with the .cab files or your file explorer is corrupted. I would bet the .cab files are corrupted, and that somewhere along the way you did something wrong. Maybe you skipped a step in the whole process, and Opera is coming up not because they are tagged to run through Opera, but because it is suggesting to search for something using your default browser.
It really is hard to say, but I would suggest asking that forum for some support. Also, I would flat out re-download all the cabs straight to your phone from the site, not your computer. This will make sure you don't have any issues with the sync process. As well, save them to the root of you SD card, in other words not in a folder.
Sometime i got this problem but it seem it happen when the page is not fully loaded
Do you open cab files through Opera?
Open link in new tab
Hi
I have also had this problem with opera version 9.5.16277. I have found a couple of work arounds:
1) Tap and hold on the link and then select "Open in new tab"
2) Tap and hold on the link and select "Copy link location". Then manually open a new tab and paste the address into the address bar.
I have found that if 1) above does not work 2) will.
Cheers

Sometimes it's the website itself.
For example, for Josh's Test ROM, if we click directly (even on PC) on the link, it'll open the zip file on the page. I had to 'right-click' and 'save the link as' to save the file.
It might be some code on the page ..
Input the two .reg files to the registry, should just solve the problem. You can use any regiedit tools or taskmgr.exe or total command to do it. If don't know how, please search some info first.

The above is my answer to origional poster of this thread.
But since this thread is already goes to off-topic, I would also write my comments:
Opera opens compressed file as text on page, is a big bug for opera software, it happens to both its mobile and desktop vdersions. But latest releases of Opera Mobile seems have some progress on this issue, although still can not completely avoid it.
