The Kaiser will be my second Win Mob device (8525 is what I am currently using).
I wonder what is the general experience with moving purchased applications to the new device.
Does a new IMEI create no barriers to continued use?
Are software houses amenable to issuing new reg codes for the apps you have purchased?
Does this mean re-purchasing all the apps that I have come to count on each day?
Err, most paid software comes with this thing called activation key...
and of those, most of them are keys generated through the owners' name.
(You can tell this if it displays the owners name on the registration file).
FYI: Activation keys will change if it is not the same version. So if you backuped your cabs and have your keys, then there should be no issue into installing it on another ppc.
I bought resco explorer 2005 a while ago. It works on my friends ppc and mine, while under the same name.
Well, Yeah.
I referred to "activation key" as "reg(istration) code."
However, some apps, like Opera are locked to the IMEI and you need a new reg code.
I was wondering what issues folks had had with apps where the reg code is linked to the electronic serial number (IMEI) of the device.
Hello All,
I have just bought second Diamond, but I have a little problem with it. Device has a label on the box "English Version" and blue round label "Synergy". That is not a problem, but I can't register it on www.htc.com! When I try to put serial number message appears: "No HTC branded Device". Where is the problem? Can I do something with it?
It is important for me, because I have bought it as "brand new without simlock etc.)
P.S. Device has no operator sign (no Orange etc. logo)
Best Regards,
TomekJ
Does it have synergy software on it?
Does your serial number start with 'HT'??
Yes, my serial number starts HT.....
I have additional software on CD - SPB GPRS monitor, Cyberon Dictionary and WorldCard. Seller write me that "this is official and direct distribution from HTC" Can someone explain me this? I have also found address: www.asia.htc.com/HTC_HKEN/member/login.aspx where I can register. Is Synergy somehow connected with HTC? Can seller say that Synergy labelled device is from official and direct import? If answer is "yes", why HTC disable registration via official htc.com site?
Best regards,
TomekJ
Hi,
yesterday i tried nearly the whole day to change my mac address on my x1. first i made a hardspl for x1. the new bootloader is working.
After that, i connected via mtty. I tried some commands like emapiTest, emapiWlanMac and some other what i found at xda-dev. I only go "command error" in mtty.
Then i flashed the latest rom (R2A) and tried it again with mtty. Same bad results.
There is a posting at xda-dev: NOTE: To use rbmc you need to
authenticate with proper password .... otherwise bootloader returns "Command error !!!" or "Command is Locked!". (if you're using Hard-SPL, this is unlocked, and any address can be read with 2.30.Olipro)
Do i make the same authenticate with the X1 HardSpl that i am able to work with any commands?
Best regards

You can't change the MAC address of a network device. It's the unique hardware serial number of the network device.
My guess is that you're trying to get your Xperia to connect to a hotspot that only allows specific MAC addresses. In that case it makes more sense to find the wifi MAC address of your phone, go into the configuration page for your wifi router and enter the MAC address on the filter list.
You can get the phone's wifi MAC fairly easily. Turn on wifi, then:
Start > Settings > Connections > Wireless LAN > Advanced
... and the MAC is there for you.

Actually it is possible to "spoof" a network device.
I'm just not sure how to do this on a WM device.
i tried the registry method... didnt find any data for mac address
and i tried what jockyw wrote:
"You can run or flash the USPL (see sticky) and set a MAC address of your own choice.
Connect with MTTY and at the command prompt type:
emapiWlanMac 01 02 03 04 05 06 (the six two-digit numbers are the hexadecimal MAC byte values and should be replaced by anything you like)"
but i only get "command error" at any command.

Is that legal ??

Maybe you are right and xda-devs wouldn't care about that...

That is not legal I am sure.
Legal WHERE? 50% of the content here is probably not koscher! What a stupid question!
ANY medling with software is illegal worldwide! Read the license agreements!
I would suggest NOT to discuss this...waste of time and effort! Just a thought ;-)
why should be illegal to change mac address? It's not IMEI

Well, its not illegal in the "go to jail" sense... but more of a torts way. SE won't care that a relatively small group is tinkering with their own phones since it doesn't affect their income at all. Rather, if we filed a warranty claim, they can deny it on breach of terms.
The only time a modified MAC could be considered "illegal" is if you are pirating as a result of modifying it.
Why would you even want to change the mac-adress?

Please don't assume that something is illegal simply because it's "sometimes" associated with "hacking". Password recovery is not illegal, port scanning is not illegal, packet sniffing is not illegal. These are all used by most large companies on a regular basis. I'm a network engineer and I can assure you that it is legal to "spoof" your mac address. Even though there may be some unethical reasons for doing this, there are also unethical reasons for owning a kitchen knife. We change our mac addresses of many of the devices at work all the time for many, very legitimate reasons.
While there's no easy way to change the actual information stored in the CIS of a device, depending on the NIC driver, many drivers support dynamic mac addresses. Even Microsoft provides support for configurable mac addresses.
I dug around in the registry a bit and it doesn't seem like there is a default setting for this on Xperia (well, that I could find), but I'm sure there's a way to change the NDIS miniport drivers to simply call a new string value containing whatever you're trying to change your mac to.
Check out these MSDN articles that might help with a solution.

hi jhoffa,
thanks for the solution links. but i already need help:
At MSDN:
Finally, if the card information structure (CIS) of the PC Card contains a network address value, Ndis.dll creates a \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Miniport Instance\Parms\NetworkAddress key to store the network address.
My registry dosent show the path ...\NetworkAddress
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TNETW12511
DisplayName
IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi Adapter
At: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TNETW12511\Parms\TcpIp it shows me: Autocgf, autointerval, automask, autoseed, autosubnet, dhcpdns, dhcpipaddress, dhcpserver, dhcpsubnetmask, enabledhcp, lease, leaseobtainedhigh, leaseobtainedlow, prevreqoptions, t1 and t2. but nothing like a mac address.
is it possible that i am looking the wrong way?
thanks for helping

Have you tried adding
Network Adress as a (i'm presuming) a Dword to \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TNETW12511\Parms\ ?
i added "NetworkAddress" as String and typed a 12 letter mac in it. didnt work. Dword same.

i skiped this as i read your posting before. i know that i cant handle this, i am too noobish in registry files edit.
maybe someone could help me with that?
thanks

i found that at eggheadcafe.com:
Step 1 --> changes to driver
Steps [2-5] from C# application
1) In NDIS Intermediate driver (QueryMiniport function), I made the
following changes
a) When OID is CURRENT_MAC_ADDRESS , open registry , read a
registry name ChangeMAC,
b) if value of ChangeMAC is 1 then read registry value of "NewMAC"
and then convert it appropriately to MAC format
(remove extra unicode characters etc)
c) then do a NDISMoveMemory to current adapters MACaddr field.
d) close registry
2) Set value of ChangeMAC (DWord) to 1
3) Set value of NewMAC (string) to the new mac address
4) Invoke a NDIS_REBIND_ADAPTER (this internally will call
QueryMiniport ) and inturn execute step (1)
5) Set value of ChangeMAC (DWord) to 0
anybody an idea how does it work?

Using an unofficial program "stealed" from other phone or cook a personal ROM is not paragonable as change MAC Address.
MAC Address changes are the same of IMEI's ones: if you want to create-problems to a WiFi network (for example) with your modified MAC Address, you are not more identificable...so this is illegal.
To prevent the possibility of this type of "problems", all changes acts to alterate UNIQUE IDENTIFICATION of a device (IMEI or MAC Address numbers) are illegal, because it will cause a POSSIBLE multi-identity.
I am trying to figure out how I can light an LED with my NodeMCU V2 via the use of WiFi and a phone application I create via Android Studio but I don't know where to start nor can I find any information on how I can do it, I've seen tutorials where they make me use their 3rd party tools to achieve this and I've seen it done on a web server but I'd like it to be on a phone application. Is there any way this can be done? Bluetooth is not an option because I want it to be accessed from anywhere as I plan to port-forward the IP in the future.
This is a very interesting idea. I do not have a specific answer. I did some programming of 68HC11 about 20 years ago. The chip was mounted on a system board and connected to my desktop computer using a serial cable. I would develop the program on the desktop then download to the `11 over the serial cable. There was a small program in the `11 that would receive the program and load it into the `11 memory.
Structurally you need similar components: a software development system that run in your phone [a small Android Studio], an electronic communication link [Bluetooth, http, whatever], a system board, and software in the system board to receive commands and a data stream from the phone and load the stream of machine language into the 68HC11.
I still have the system board: CME11E9-EVBU AXM-0199 REV.C Axiom Manufacturing. For more info do a Google search for that ID, or just click here...
https://canada.newark.com/axiom/cme-11e9-evbu-ed/spi-sci-rs232-lcd-dev-board/dp/13C2791
I am not familiar with what is going on in that section of technology these days, but much of what you need should be available and findable. If such a system does not yet exist then it is a business opportunity waiting for someone like yourself.
All the best to you
