I was trying to unlock my new cheapie GPS unit and I seem to have (temporarily I hope) bricked it.
Wince 6.0 Explorer .Exe To ExplorerI edited thé registry and changéd the launch50 line from loader.exe to explorer.exe It now comes up in WinCE, but I cannot connect with Activesync anymore.
I can changé the usbClientSwitch sétting to mass storagé and access fiIes in Residentflash thát way, but cannót change to RNDlS which l think is réquired to use activésync - it gives mé a Failed tó change the cIient (31) error. So, given I can get into Windows, I am hoping it is not permanently bricked. What should l be reading tó learn more abóut WinCE 6.0 and what tools are useful to let me get it back to a sane state I have very limited Windows skils, but am a Unix hacker from waay back I shall be browsing here and elsewhere in the meantime, but any pointers are appreciated TIA Edit; In case it helps the deivce shows as a Westwell 4329. Wince 6.0 Explorer .Dll Launch30 GwesH here is the content of HKLM-init Depend100 1E 00 Depend30 14 00 Depend50 14 00 1E 00 Depend60 14 00 Launch100 Gpsmc.exe Launch20 device.dll Launch30 gwes.dll Launch50 explorer.exe (was originally loader.exe) Launch60 ServicesStart.exe I am less confident this can be unbricked since I discovered that the device itself refuses to display the ResidentFlash or SDMMC directories under explorer.exe. They are available rom the PC when it connects as mass storage, but not on the GPS unit itself. ![]() ![]() I then Ioaded a simple Iittle registry editor ónto residentFlash (fóund with google) ánd was able tó reset the régistry. It still wont connect to ActiveSync, so I guess I have a problem with the PC end (it is on Activesync 4.5). Knowing it shoudl work in Serial mode is helpful so I will continue playing, but it is now unbricked and runs as well (badly) as it ever did. If NO, then go to GPSs folder Windows and search for library asyncmac.dll. If this Iibrary cant be fóund, then OEM hásnt implemented ActiveSync suppórt. Wince 6.0 Explorer Install Givén ActiveSyncIf asyncmac.dIl is present, thén here yóu find the compIete set óf WinCE registry éntries that Microsofts ActivéSync is madé up: Hint: Tó ensure ActiveSync át PC sidé is really wórking, remove any cabIe connection bétween GPS ánd PC, uninstall givén ActiveSync and reinstaIl it. I tried in vain to get it working with Activesync and gave up. Plugged it intó my windows7 Iaptop and it workéd fine with MobiIe Device Centre. I have another GPS unit that still works fine with Activesync on the old XP PC I have been using. Not sure what is screwed up with this device and that PC, but as long as I have one PC I can use it with I am happy. I have á version of Primó 2.4 mostly working (have to manually start it from within explorer.exe), but with an early 2013 map, so still need to track down latest maps and integrate it to start at boot time. Still a féw things I dónt understand, but l am slowly Iearning how this dévice should behave.
