HTC MTeoR application unlock
Published by Mic
No, I’m not trying to unlock a carrier-branded phone, but an original HTC MTeoR shop-buyed phone.
Problem
A friend of mine bought an HTC MTeoR to read his mails from an Exchange 2003 SP2 server.
He thought it should be all ok, since the phone has a Windows Mobile 2005 OS installed.
Hey, be aware! It’s Microsoft, indeed!
The simple (sarcastic) thing to do is to install a server certificate to use the GPRS/UMTS ActiveSync capability on a SSL connection
Copied the certificate on the phone and… no privilegies to do this operation?!?!?!?!?
A little web search give us the hint: this phone has a wrong ROM installed that prevent the user to run not-Microsoft-signed application (and certificates).
And there is no fixed ROM to download!
Very well!
Solution
It took some time, but we finally found this forum post with the solution of our problem.
We had just to modify this three registry keys on the phone:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001 = 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 40
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001017 = 144
But again: the user has no rights to change the registry.
The simple solution to this is to use a registry editor that seems to be HTC/Microsoft signed: regeditSTG2.exe.
Finally, we installed the certificate and synced the phone.
Conclusion
Can a manufacturer like HTC release a phone with such a problem and do not release an update as quickly as possibile?
How many customers are able to do this modification?
Not so much I think.
Hi, this is the same issue with the Imate SP5 and the Imate SPJAS, the SP5 needs a file regeditSTG.exe to change the same reg key and it will work. The SPJAS you need a cert install application called Certificate_installer_SP_JAS.cab and in this app you can install the cert without changing any reg keys.
