What I mean is that the shift sim card is accessed using a certain file. This file has been made working for the shift. It comes from another device. It was already a feat to port this file to the shift, but unfortunatly we don't have much control on it. It seems not to handle roaming profiles very well in your case.

That's to confirm this that I ask you to try another rom. If it is depending on this file, then all pother roms will have the same problem. Otherwise, it might be solved.
[Shift Development] jerrry:
Thank your for this ROM. I have tested a lot of Shift ROMs, but this is really fast and stable and for me is no.1. Really good cooking :-)

the 3G problem

hi hugo

your rom is great

gps and everything works super

only the 3g connection has some problems

i installed 1.27 radio and the light version

but can't connect with 3G and in order to make calls i have to manually set to GSM not AUTO

I have read here that this will be fixed if i change radio rom with version 1.58.21.23

I couldn't find this radio for shift only for other htc products

so i tried to install murata radio 1.58.21.23 but it returned me error

can you give me a possible solution of this problem

thank you
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
you cannot use any other radio than the one provided with the rom. I've read it gives some 3G problem in some countries.

The 1.58 radio was the original radio for the european shifts. It will make a hissing sound problem on my rom, as it is made for 1.27 radios. You have to either go back to original Snapvue rom, or to forget about 3G in your case I fear:(
[Shift Development] apokavk:
thanks for the answer hugo

guess i have to wait for a possible solution

HTC Shift files

Hi guys,

Check your PM inboxes for the HTC Shift files that I have archived. :)
[Shift Development] Flanimal:
ClearSnapvue, Windows Mobile Center and the ROM updater program stopped working for me about a year ago. I was running WIndows 7 at the time, and up to one day it was working, and none of them have worked for me since, including a recent attempt on Windows 10. So I have kinda given up with the Windows Mobile side. Luckily the last ROM that I installed is one of the better ones - Age of Beauty, but given the chance I would now choose a more lightweight ROM with a permanent battery indicator at the top right.

Recently, I tried the USB Tool with Windows Mobile centre on windows 10, and I heard the 'ding dong' sound in Windows, but Windows Mobile centre showed no connection.

I don't know what happened, but I seem to recall seeing other HTC Shifters having problems.

I wondered whether anyone was having success with Windows Mobile communications on the HTC Shift these days.
[Shift Development] nbsp:
Here are some ROMs: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BzqfCViUrpr6UkVkY2lTLUIxSGs&usp=sharing

The web space is not mine, though. I found the link while searching for the WM 6.1 monx ROM. It seems there is also a 1.08 version for that one, but currently I did not find it anywhere. If anyone can provide a link to it or upload it somewhere for others to download it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey Flanimal,

Can you please let me know how I could download it? It would be great if you also have Monx's WM 6.1 v1.08 ROM (not v1.07), as I cannot seem to find it anywhere. It would be nice if you could put everything HTC Shift related that you have on Google Drive (or equivalent), as I am also collecting such items. :D

I have recently installed Windows 7 Enterprise Trial and Monx's WM 6.1 v1.07 ROM on the HTC Shift (as it has working USSD, and I need that). Everything seems to work correctly for me, except that long SMS messages are not received (for instance, if the message is longer than 5 * 160 characters, it will not appear in the messaging application when using Monx's v1.07 ROM).

Have you tried to hard reset your device? Make sure to backup everything first!

Thanks!
[Shift Development] Flanimal:
Check your PM. :) Regarding my Windows Mobile issue, yes I have tried hard and factory resets, and reinstallations, but no joy. Thanks for informing me that it's not a Windows 7/10 problem.
[Shift Development] Flanimal:
Ah, I solved my Windows to Windows Mobile communication problem. I had simply forgotten that it is necessary to uncheck "enable advanced network" under the usb to pc option in wm side. Doh!

Busy choosing a different ROM now to fit my modern day requirements - don't need PIM or office anymore, but def want dictionary and a C64 SID player...

Things to do on HTC Shift

Hello to all! :)

I don't know if I have to present myself and if somebody care about it :p (I'm sure that if needed, moderators will tell me that)

I'm almost a proud owner of an HTC Shift X9500, I bought it on eBay and in while I took a look at this forum.

I'm pretty lost because it's an old machine (even if it's still one of the best) and it's hard to locate all the most recent threads about it.

I've also bought a brand new SSD PATA ZIF 1.8 64 gb and 2 gb DDR2 microdimm memory 214 pin in order to get the best performance possible

and I'm wondering what to do now.

My intention is to upgrade this device with windows 10 32bit and the first question is:

will I get all the hardware working fine after the upgrade? any known issues?

The second question is about ROMs and liberation:

which is the best upgrade possible on pda side?

Thanks to those who will answer and sorry if I bring back foreground an old post.

:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Shift Development] Flanimal:
Hello! Congrats on purchasing an HTC Shift. I'm rather jealous of the RAM and SSD that you are beefing up your Shift with. I hope you get them to work ok.

I'll send you a PM with my stash of HTC Shift drivers and files in case you are of use/interest to you.

I recommend thaihugo's Age of Reason ROM. You may have trouble liberating your Shift if you can't find a old school email server that is compatible with it.

I recommend that you install Windows 10 Anniversary edition (rather than Creator's edition). That way, you should be able to get the touchsceen drivers working, and then you can run Windows update and run the Microsoft upgrade tool to upgrade to the latest version of Windows 10, and the touchscreen should continue to work.

The wifi drivers don't work by default with Windows 10. The Windows 10 thread in these forums contains a working solution.

Good luck and have fun!
[Shift Development] simonemu85:
First ..Thanks and sorry for late reply :p I got only SSD right now and I'm waiting to go back home and bring memory.

I've installed windows 8.1 on SSD and, as said, wifi / SD not working.

I've tried many many solutions described here and now I'm heading to upgrade to windows 10 anniversary as you told me.

I'm running windows update now and I'm going to find some mail providers that accept the liberation CAB file (google mail refuse it as a potential risk :crying: )

I'll let you know about the future :D

GPS not worrking

[MENTION=262709]thaihugo[/MENTION] [MENTION=940468]Flanimal[/MENTION]

Hey guys, sorry but I can't get GPS working, I have i00 rom on my shift and I'm good with it (even it's pretty heavy) can you help me to configure GPS and GPS2Blue? I followed instructions on paludur website but maybe it's not enough :'(

Thanks
[Shift Development] Flanimal:
Hello,

I can't really help as I haven't used GPS on the Windows Mobile side in a long time. But from what I remember, the first time that I successfully used GPS on the WM side was when I installed a GPS ROM, and then ran the Google Maps app, and it located me correctly.

I hope you get it working.
[Shift Development] PassatGT:

[Touch HD General] nachoimu:
Hi guys, I am trying to connect my HD to my pc running vista, but for some reason after I plugged in the phone, appers a window saying "Installing device driver software", then appers another window saying "Device driver software was not sucessfully installled". So I can't acces my phone through the pc. Any ideas????

Rom version: 1.14.405.3 (22273) WWE

Rom date : 10/24/08

Radio version : 1.09.25.14

Thanks!!:confused:
[Touch HD General] stulios:
It might be a daft question. But have you installed the driver software off the cd that came with your phone? It won't properly connect unless you have done.
[Touch HD General] nachoimu:
Yes I have. Also I tried downloading the driver from windows web site, and still is not working. Any clues?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Intro

Lately I've seen a lot of posts by people who are trying to replace WM internal or driver DLLs, either for hacking/testing or to release. Aside from the possibility they are just doing something that won't work in the first place, I've seen failure a lot of times because files aren't properly signed, or if they are, the certificate in question not being in the right certificate stores for it to have any effect. On some ROMs it will still work due to patched NK.EXE, on others it won't, its just not very reliable.

So, I present you with the correct way of doing this by means of a small tool that will do this for you: DriverWiz. It will take care of most of the stuff, and leave you room for additions. You will however still need some basic knowledge of the command line, if you don't have that, you have no business doing anything like this anyways.

Background

I use this technique myself all the time. When just hacking away, replacing system DLLs to trace calls, etc. It's also the same method used for the HTC-CA drivers and the ICS installer. This method works on most stock ROMs as well, though not on all of them (in rare cases some security policies are set that will prevent CAB installation)

Usage

It's fairly simple to use. Just extract the attached zip file somewhere, open the command promt, and change directory to where the zip was extracted. That's the installation part.

Now when you actually want to build a CAB file from a DLL, you use the DriverWiz.bat file.

DriverWiz will take care of signing the DLLs, inserting the certificate, etc, and you will end up with a proper CAB file for this kind of thing. Just copy it to your device and run it to install.

#1. You need to put the DLL files in the same folder as DriverWiz. Do NOT include paths in your DLL names

#2. Include the quotes in the command like in the examples!

#3. The first time you install a CAB made by DriverWiz, your phone may still give you a certificate warning. This is normal, don't worry about it.

Caveats

While this method has never failed me yet, it is possible that some files cannot be replaced this way. Just a disclaimer :)

Modifying

DriverWiz bases the inf file it will create to build a CAB from on DriverWiz.tpl. If you need to add registry entries to your CAB file, modify DriverWiz.tpl before you run the batch file. You can make other modifications too, add files, etc. Just take care that you don't break it :)

You can use your own certificates as well, instead of the supplied "Dummy" certificate that comes with DriverWiz. The files you will want to modify/replace are DriverWiz.pfx (used for signing) and DriverWiz.xml (used for injecting the certificate). I'll see about finding a reference for how to do that online and posting the URL here (someday). Creating a new certificate from scratch can be a frustrating effort - make sure you got openssl handy :)

What exactly happened? Attach the files and such :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ruskiyab:
It made the cab and all, but when I went to install it, the unsigned error message popped up just like when I tried it with WinCE cab manager.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
That is perfectly normal behavior. The first time you install a CAB with this certificate it will not know the certificate. However, once you install it, the certificate will be injected in the right place, and the files signed with the certificate (the driver files in the CAB) will be allowed to be run.

It won't happen the second time you try it :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ruskiyab:
So if I try to install it again, it'll work fine? is there aa soft reset required in between? I can replace these drivers manually by renaming the old ones and copying them over, the whole reason I want a cab in the first place is to facilitate the UC process when I flash a different rom
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Actually it should just work the first time. Just click OK when the certificate error appears.

error message

I got error messages when creating a cab from a rilphone.dll. Does it mean anything, or are these errors okay? I guess I'm specifically wondering about the SignTool error. If its okay, then my cab should be good.

EDIT: I think I found the problem. I didn't have UAC disabled in Windows 7. I tried it again, after disabling it, and it works fine now. Thanks for the easy to use tool!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Captain_Throwback:
syntax for registry entries?

I was experimenting with creating a cab for the Rogers folks who need a specific rilphone for their Caller ID to work. There are some registry entries associated with this feature, so I was wondering what the correct syntax is for putting the registry entries into the .tpl file. I've tried a few different ways, and I've either a gotten a 'Registry section is empty' message, or a 'Registry has an unsupported registry root key' error. I'm sure its something really simple I'm missing, so any help you can offer is appreciated.

It just seems that since we now have this easy method to sign these dlls, so that they can be used in any ROM, that the Rogers people shouldn't have to jump through so many hoops to get it to work.

EDIT: Nevermind. I'm an idiot that didn't do a little bit of research. All is well now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stepw:
Excellent stuff, Microsoft may rant about this way of distributing signtool and cabwiz though.

Here's an intro to cert stores for WM:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa458010.aspx

pfx generation is a 2-liner with openssl:

# Generate a CA certificate

openssl req -new -nodes -x509 -days 9999 -newkey rsa:1024 -md5 -keyout cert.key -out cert.cer -subj "/CN=DriverWiz"

# Convert to pkcs12/PFX format

openssl pkcs12 -export -in cert.cer -out cert.pfx -inkey cert.key

I also get an error saying that the latest version of CAPICOM.dll is missing. The ones I can find for download from the internet are version 2.0.0, and the tool requires 2.1.0.1 or later.

Does anyone have the needed version of the dll?

EDIT: Found it, 2.1.0.2 version of the dll is in the attachment.

Thanks for the capicom.dll Even after disabling UAC in W7Rc1 it wouldn't go, so great to have it posted to.

Chainfire, which format should the Reg's be added?

I tried the default .reg formating just under:

[Registry]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Profiles]

@=""

"ActiveProfile"="Normal"

?

Scrap that i found the .inf format

[AddRegistry]

HKCU,"New Key","",0x00010001,1

Many thanks for this, i'll try to Point Driver replacing Sinners from now on to here.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Well INF files are a regular female dog.

If you rather use WinCE CAB Manager, the trick is easily done as well. I do not have it handy right here (I'm not at dev box), but it goes like this.

Put the DLL's and EXE's that need to go in the CAB into the same folder as DriverWiz

Execute the following command from the command prompt in the DriverWiz folder: signtool sign /f DriverWiz.pfx *.exe *.dll

Open your WCM/CAB with CM

Somewhere is an option for "Pre XML" (main screen IIRC).. click to add/edit, and load the DriverWiz.xml file

Save

signtool sign /f DriverWiz.pfx *.cab

Et voila. I should really make an update to DriverWiz to include CAPICOM and write a proper guide on how to do all this manually (including making your own certificates and such). It's easy if you know how :)

If you could insert another empty post for me at the top, that'd be great.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
hey maybe you can help me. im trying to sign a phcanoverbmp.dll and no matter what signer i use it wont take. nothing will add the signature information to the dll, your program or any other. when i check it in pe explorer there is never any authanticode signature ever added. im a little stumped as to why this is happening since ive signed dll's in the past..

any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Captain_Throwback:
Perhaps the problem is not this tool (which it really shouldn't be, if you were able to install the cab successfully) - did you try to install an incompatible rilphone on your device (like perhaps, and Xperia rilphone on a Diamond/Touch Pro)?

Did you remember to unsign it prior to making the modifications to it? That happened to me before when I forgot to unsign it, then modded and saved it. I couldn't sign it with anything. I had to start over. But hopefully there's another way.

rilphone.dll

Hi,

I am trying to make a cab with rilphone.dll from new Rhodium 6.5 ROM. I believe everything is working fine but I get no radio after I install cab file. Rilphone.dll works fine when cooked in so I do not think that is the issue. I installed SDKCerts.cab before I install new cab but still no luck :(

I attached original dll file too if anyone can help.

Thanks!

i have switch-able rilphone.dll on my kaiser and both are working as well.

what i did just put the rilphone.dll into wince cab manager and patched nk.exe with nocert-patched by cmonex...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mccune:
Same result on a stock ROM from T-Mobile (Vario V).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
No idea what the issue might be with that... This method has never failed me before.

I thought about maybe the files are not compatible, but that does not seem to be the case as it does work when cooked in. Very strange. Perhaps something did go wrong? Your 'log' looks good though.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mccune:
I was also thinking the rilphone.dll was not compatible. But as At0mAng describes it works when cooked with the ROM. I can't verify that, but for now I would say that it's because of the dll file...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Captain_Throwback:
I've actually created a few rilphone cabs with this awesome tool that didn't work for everyone. It doesn't seem to be consistent whether it works or does not for a particular user. It sounds like At0mAng is a user for which it isn't working :rolleyes:. Did you try creating a cab using a different rilphone, and see if it works? That can help you determine whether the tool is at fault, or the driver (or a conflict).
