In my company I'm not allowed to enter a camera and I would like to disable it.
I have S200 with ROM 2.9.7.106

I have read some articles that talk about removing some CAB fles from extended rom.

My config.txt in the Extended rom is:
LOCK:Enabled
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MP-Shorcut-MMS1-Java5xx-CyberonVoice-CV-04Nov05.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MP_Customization_Prophet_Qtek_WWE_05 1205.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MP_mHub_WWE_051226.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MP_MMSAutoDisconnect_060106.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MP_SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.C AB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_DisconnectButton_16.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_ExtVersion.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_OperatorName.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_Prophet-UAProf_AKU2.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_QtekTsk_New.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_Qtek_pIEsetting.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_SuspendResume_null.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\P_ECall_112_911_QTEK_Wizard.cab
CAB: \Extended_ROM\P_PT_EnableSPN_Wizard_20060109.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PT_RemoveHTCBatteryIcon_PRO.CAB
LOCK:Disabled
RST: Reset


Can I have explenation on the different CABS?

does any body know what is the CAB that install the camera?

I tried to delete the camera.exe ffile from window directory but the file is marked ROM and cannot be deleted.

Can anyone suggest how to disable the camera?

Thanks

You can overwrite the camera.exe (which I am pretty sure is in actual ROM and has nothing to do with the extended) with en empty file with the same name.
This will prevent it from being launched, but the real question is will the security people in you company trust you to not re-enable the camera?

How do "overwrite" a file that is in actual ROM. I cannot rename is so I do I overwite?

Just drop the file in windows directory. What happens is: the file you copied is placed in program memory (flash) but because it has the same name and is in the same directory it "hides" the original file from anyone trying to access it.

Make sure the file is not in use when doing this.

Thank's

I did that using resco explorer and it worked. Istill need to convince security that it is a good solution.

What will happen after Hard / Soft reset. will the original file come back ??

Soft reset will have no effect, but hard reset will erase the replacement file.
Now let's hope they won't make you physically dismantle the camera or get another phone :)
