Problem installing itsutils.dll

[thickycat]

Hi all,

I've searched and failed - I know the answer is in these forums, but I never seem to hit the right search string!

My goal is to put the HTC roms onto my Vodafone v1615 device. As a first step, I'd like to suck out the v1615 ROMS so that I can put them back in case anything goes seriously wrong.

Step 1 was to run pdocread, which copies itsutils.dll to the device. This failed.

I can see why it failed - it's because HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001 is 2 when I'd like it to be 1.

I can see the above as I've installed "Mobile Registry Editor", which runs on the PC and peeks down the wires at the device. However, it won't let me change the value as it says "Access Denied" when I try it.

So, what it comes down to is the following question:

Where can I find a registry editor for the Kaiser, preferably that will run on the device itself, that is able to change the above value?

Thanks for your help - I know this entire post shows me up as a complete newbie, but we all have to start somewhere...!

Ok, answered my own question (after lots more searching and failures)... Please add below if there are better answers than this one:

Install the .net compact framework from here: http://www.secondkiss.com/download/netcf/netcf.core.ppc3.arm.cab

Then install the registry editor from here: http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=1&platformId=2&N=96806&Ntt=registry&productId=160555&R=160555

You'll need to register with handango but it lets you download before receiving any confirmatory email.

I've now change the values and pdocread has produced some interesting looking numbers.

what were the results then

what were the results then

Unfortunately my laptop (where I am now) has the problem that the wireless network falls apart if I plug the 'phone' in. I did extract four files at work though, which look good. The first two numbers were the same as I've seen (pof's?) except there was obviously some 'borrowing' between parts 2 and 3 (part 2 was slightly smaller, part 3 was slightly larger) - I'll post the exact output tomorrow when I get back to work.

The main point though is that I've successfully produce the four .raw files. I'll continue on and report any major failings in case it helps anyone else!

Ok, this is the output from "pdocread -l" on a UK Vodafone v1615 (at least an early example and a 2GB card up it's bottom) along with the corresponding commands to read the four parts of the ROM:

At least I'm hoping those are the correct commands to grab the ROM...!

DSK1: is obviously the external card but what's the BTD1: section? (bootloader?)
