[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] adejager1:
Probably the hp514 is application locked. Some manufacturers and/or vendors apply local policies to prevent owners from installing third party software or editing the phone setup.

"Local security policies

There are several security policies that come into play here. To install the SDK certs you need the highest level of trust on the device. (manager)

Unsigned CAB policy: If policy is set to 0, then unsigned CABs won't install. The typical role is User Auth which means the CABs will install but they have a similar set of privileges as code running at the Normal level. If this policy is set to Manager, then the unsigned CABs have all privileges, and you can use the unsigned cab technique to change any setting.

Two-tier security policy: If this is set to "One-tier" then CAB files and programs have the ability to change any setting on the device. Some smartphone devices ship in one-tier mode. Those phones are definitely not application locked - you can use the unsigned cab technique to apply any setting.

Grant Manager policy: This policy contains a list of roles that are elevated to manager. If this role contains "User Auth" then every action taken by the user has full administative access. Installing the setup XML from a cab file counts as one of those actions, so if grant manager contains User Auth, you can again use the unsigned cab technique to change any setting.

RAPI security policy: I think it's pretty uncommon for this policy to be open when the previous policies are be locked down, but if this policy is set to Open (2) then all of the API calls over Activesync are processed as trusted/manager, so you'll be able to change any setting or security policy using RAPI."

These policies can be deactivated by editing the registry.

"6. If you get the following errror, probably your device is application locked:

C:\itsutils>pdocread.exe -l

Copying C:\itsutils\itsutils.dll to WCE:\windows\itsutils.dll

Could not update itsutils.dll to the current version, maybe it is inuse?

try restarting your device, or restart ActiveSync

Check this wiki article on information about how to avoid that. Basically you have to modify this registry key, and then softreset using power button:

HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies

valuename '00001001' was set to dword:2, change it to dword:1

dword: any thing other than 1 disallows unsigned

dword: 1 allows unsigned

You can use Total Commander for Windows Smartphone (free) to edit the registry

http://ghisler.fileburst.com/cebeta3/phone/cecmd.arm.cab

To change the registry with Total Commander, you have to startup the program and hit the root (\) next to the address bar and then select \\plugins -> registry and navigate to the registry key mentioned above. After setting the value you have to reset the phone (turn it off and on).

The registry key change is nothing permanent, you can change it back to the original value if you like.

If dumping the rom doesn't work check after setting the registry value, check if the registry value sticked. There is a difference in a soft and a hard reset. One reset flushes all changes to disk while the other doesn't. don't know what's the case with a smartphone.

Also make sure you have the latest version of itsutils (http://nah6.com/~itsme/itsutilsbin-20070705.zip)

What's your opinion about the new firmware of HP, did you notice any improvements?

good luck, and thanks for the effort.:)
