Can't write to Windows or save Registry Changes

---

Hi All,

I'm trying to make some registry changes on the Mogul and when I save the changes all is ok until I soft boot and then they go back to their default values. How can I prevent this?

I am also trying to save a file in the \Windows directory and it's giving me an access is denied message, how do I unlock this directory?

Thanks,
X2K

Which registry editor are you using?
Try using Resco explorer and registry editor pluggin:

I hope it helps.

I'm using PHM Regedit

Which registry key(s) are you trying to edit? Some keys don't get saved or get reset no matter what upon reboot.

Try this:

In [HKLM\System\ObjectStore] is a reg key "RegistryType=1", which means Hive based registry.

When you set it to "RegistryType=0", which means FILE based registry, all changes you do in the registry will stay there also if you reboot with device's reset button...

BUT AFTER YOU CHANGE THIS VALUE, FIRST REBOOT HAS TO BE DONE WITH SOME SOFTWARE, NOT WITH THE RESET BUTTON.

Subsequent reboots can be done with reset button then.

Great tip, even after a year since you posted it . Couldn't get rid of the default t-mobile -MDA Vario III aka kaiser- settings (PIE homepage e.g.), but you helped me out on this one

Hello all. I have tried to make the registry change (In [HKLM\System\ObjectStore] "RegistryType=1") to "RegistryType=0" mentioned above. That worked fine but I still can't save a change I'm trying to make. I bought MS Voice Command and was told to change the [HKLM\Software\OEM\Voicecommand path to \Program Files\MS Voice Command\voicecmd.exe. I can't seem to save the change. I have used several different registry editors including PHM, Resco and CeRegEditor. The displayed path (\Windows\SDDialer.exe) will not update. I'm using a Verizon XV6800 with WM 6.1 and the Verizon MR-1 update. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
