Hi Guys,
I have a remote control that I would like to extract the ROM from.
The remote is a NevoSL, it is a WinCE.net device. I have looked everywhere for info about doing this but haven't found anytools that work.
Right now it runs a stripped down O/S image. I have a full CE.net image to load to it but I want to make sure that I can restore it back if I run into a problem. I have the lastest upgrade image for the device however I can't get it to load with MS device emulator.

Thanks in advance.

Have you googled around? I imagine someone's already done it.

What connection options does it have?

I have googled and googled.
It's a USB connection. It also has Wi-Fi.
I have gotten it to stop loading the remote software and I can get into the directories, and run some programs on it. However I think it's missing a major chuck of the O/S. Almost every program I have installed will not run. I have got it to connect to my wireless network.

All I want to do is get a webrowser on it.
I have tried to install MiniMon but it will not run.

Best bet might be to download Platform SDK and compile a mini CE build. Grab Internet Explorer from there and see what that does.

What kind of errors do you get?

I thing I'm worried about is erasing the factory Nevo bootloader and not being able to restore the device back to it's orginal state. I really don't want to have a 900 dollar brick.

With Minimo I get a "Cannot find minimo_runner ( or one of it's componets) error. It's the same error with almost any software I have tried to run.
