WMDC 6.1 (Picture Tweak) Sync Ico files for Mobile Devices !!!!!!

Picture tweak to change picture in WMDC 6.1 in Vista!!!
Rename all extracted ico file to sync.ico
Copy the icon file (extract it from the zip file) to the windows directory of your pda.
Step 2: Windows Mobile Device Center - Reinstall DriverNow that the ICON file is on the device, we need to reinstall the device driver so that WMDC will see it.
1. Make sure the device is synced and connected to your PC. You need an active connection so that Windows Vista sees your handheld device.
2. Go to the Control Panel.
3. Switch the Control Panel to the "Classic View" in the upper left hand corner of the Control Panel windows.
4. Open Device Manager.
5. Click the small "+" in front of "Portable Devices"
6. Right click on "Pocket PC" or "Windows Mobile Device" or "Smartphone" or similar.
7. Click Uninstall
8. Choose OK when prompted about Uninstalling the device.
9. The Device Manager will flash a time or two, and the device will no longer show up on the Portable Devices list.
10. Remove your Device from the computer.
11. Wait a good 30 seconds to 1 minute and then dock (connect) your device to the computer again.
12. Your computer will now be installing the device once again.
13. Open Windows Mobile Device Center, and you should now see your ICON on the left hand side (see picture below), and you have not lost any details of your partnership.
Sometimes the wmdc shows your old picture if that is the case copy the icon file to this directory:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Profiles\[some strange code like 8ae71abe]
@Everybody: I can also make ico file for your devices, so feel free to post you device info or a picture in jpg format.

Conversion is quite simple !!!
Search for png image of your device. (With No Background)
Save it to your pc.
Use ConvertIcon.com or other free online png to ico converter. Its absolutely free.

Sync Ico files for Palm Treo Pro
"@Everybody: I can also make ico file for your devices, so feel free to post you device info"
I have a Black Palm Treo Pro, could you mace a sync.ico file for me please. I have searched the internet and can't find one anywhere.
Strange thing is that there was once one there and not sure what I've done but it vanished after I did some hard resets etc in an attempt to correct some errors in syncing.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] How to sync my PC with HD2(WM 7) ??

So i have searched the forum, and i saw that to hack the HD2 with WM7 on it your must install XAP, Chevron, zune bla bla bla. But i don't undersand it...
For the first step i read the Chevron topic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857127
And performed the following steps :
1. Unzip file, and attach chevronwp7.cer (see below for file) to an e-mail to yourself
2. Open email in WP7
3. Tap attachment once, turns it into a shield, tap it again, goes to install certificate screen with white letters on black screen
4. Click install at the bottom
Now the rest steps the registry i cant find this folder "ProxyPorts" and even if i create it, the 6,7,8 steps don't work, the .exe said that the phone is not connected, and so like zune, no device detected.
What to do ? I want to sync my PC , i have 2 OS, XP SP3 and Win7 (notebook) . On wich of them to sync my phone, what are the correct steps ?
I want to upload movies, music , custom ringtones in my phone, and to upload from my HD2 my photos and videos into PC.
Please...
Tired of searching the google, the xda forum and other topics, that give abstract tips and advices...

have you installed the wp developer tools? that is suppose to edit your registry for you.

No, can you "light" me up with all the correct steps ? Please

you will have to use the win7 comp.
here is the link to the site for the tools...http://create.msdn.com/en-US/
check out this thread as it shows everything ya need to knw
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916497

I must install these : http://create.msdn.com/en-us/home/getting_started
and that's it ?

yes to be able to use the un-locker and to be able to deploy xaps...but not to use zune

god, again im confused. Usualy i understand everything, and no problems with ios, with androids , wm < 7.
I put those tools, then what unlocker and what xap ? Links maybe or something -_- thanks

well first start by installing the tools before try to do anything else.
then the unlocker allows you to unlock your device install apps, and the apps are a .xap file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916497

There are 3 links :

WP7 Unlock Tools
http://www.mediafire.com/?r3cx4mfeecuieo0
Only the first ? Or all of them?

that just shows you how to do it, but have you installed the tools yet?

They are now installing on my notebook with win 7 (10 of 13) of them installed, waiting
After that i make the unlock like in the first youtube link ? or what?

yes thats correct

Oh, i installed annd WP7 unlock tools, then i connect my phone with the notebook thru usb, runnning ChevronWP7.exe, and the pc says : Sory im having trouble comm with the phone Please make sure its con with usb - please start the zune application.
What should i do ?

you have to have zune running and have you phone named and account must be main and not guest account

So, i have registered now an account on zune, and now installing zune.
What do you mean by i need to have my phone named?

ok, now i synced it, named, executed ChevronWP7.
Lets see

Ok, so i executed Tom XAP installer, and appears an error :
Unhandled exception has occured blablabla
Acces to the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xap" is denied
DETAILS \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ CONTINUE \\\\\\\\\\\ QUIT,
pressed continue, and then appeared a box, with a checkbox , after that i pressed X to close the window, follow in the WP7 3MktPlace folder > Downloads > and the files with .xap are not associated what should i do ?
FIXED, I opened the .xap files with the TOM XAP insaller, and then insalled them. All works well. Thank you , jasontac
Is there something i should do ? or its all about it ? now just uploading the phone with all the files i need ?
and btw how i upload for example a video file from the phone in my pc?

it is in the setting in zune, but should do it when you connect to it

Cannot fail connecting SGS3 to PC (Easy Solution)

I have installed the connectivity on many machines that others have given up on!
It's EASY! Before you begin, You might also need to open my computer, click on tools, folder options, views and put checks in display contents of system folders
also put a check on show hidden files and folders. Just so that you will be able to see the necessary folders and files.
1) Un-install any other android phone connection software that might be installed on the PC.
2) Use Microsoft Update and get the PC updated to the latest available updates.
3) Install the latest Media Player available to your OS. (XP is only capable of 11) NOTHING LOWER THAN !0 WILL WORK.
The files can be downloaded from the link below.
4) Copy the 2 files in the Toshiba INF folder to your Windows/inf folder (The original ones in your system are mostly the reason for the problem)
5) Install the Kies software, and do not let it update! The newer version won't work.(Don't panic, it takes a few minutes to complete the install)
6) After you're all done, make sure you have the USB Debugging checked on your phone. (Settings/developers options)
Connect the phone to the PC using the USB cable that came with the phone.
It may take a while for the new drivers to install, and also a while to recognize the phone. Just be patient
7) If the system does not work the first time, disconnect the phone and reboot the PC.
8) Open Kies and do the Troubleshoot Connection (it has kept a record of what needs to be fixed when it tried and failed.
9) After it completes, Re connect the phone to the PC, after a while, it will make the connection!
10) After the first time it connects, you will no longer need to run the Kies software to connect to the PC.
Just connect the cable and the PC will recognize the phone..
If for some reason it loses connectivity and cannot connect again, just run the kies again and it will work like it did before.
The files you will need (except the Media Player) can be gotten here:

http://www.putlocker.com/file/0D6BDDFFF311EF1C
Link added and checked as of 6/8/13

4) Copy the 2 files in the Toshiba INF folder to your Windows/inf folder (The original ones in your system are mostly the reason for the problem)
what is the windows/inf folder?

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

I was advised to check this thread out in regards to my S2 lte having the same issue. That being said it hasn't worked. Can't see what I could be doing wrong. As far as i can tell the only thing that was even slight unclear is whether or not to delete the original files int he INF folder as the two files in the Toshiba folder have the same name as the ones in the INF folder. So I choose copy and replace. Was that incorrect?

AAARGHHHH the issue has now spread to my 10.1 Tablet. Nothing connects now.

That would be wherever YOU downloaded it to
when you click on the download link at the end of the list, you will download it. unpack the files. Then you will be able to copy them to the ini file folder in windows.
You might also need to open my computer, click on tools, folder options, views and put checks in display contents of system folders
also put a check on show hidden files and folders.
it's is not that hard to understand if you read the steps carefully. maybe you might want to print the list out, and check off each step as you complete it. Also you would be able to reference the file as you are doing the steps.
if you skip any one of the steps, or jump around, it may not work as the steps in the procedure were deliberately done to facilitate the actions that occurr behind the scenes, and still achieve the expected results.

RE-upped one and verified the other as working. 6/8/2013

this not works on my S4 ... I do all but NOT !! :crying:

Not working 29/12/2016

To establish connectivity, I would download the universal Samsung USB drivers or install Kies/SmartSwitch and use the original Samsung USB cable on a USB 2.0 port.

Can't download the files off that site, as well as I can't access my I535PP at all. I've tried everything, and at one point kies said my device wasn't supported yet it's on the list... Idk what to do...
Edit: Kies specifically says unsupported device when it goes to connect to it, and says to use smart switch but that wouldn't work either.

Downloading LG Firmware the Simple Way!

I don't see why all this faffing about with proxy grabbers and URL guessing in necessary to get the correct firmware file for your LG phone, there is an easier way...
1. Go to the LG website and find your phone, download the USB drivers and mobile support tool.
2. Install the USB drivers, remove the battery from your phone and note the model number, serial number and IMEI number then replace the battery.
3. Turn on your phone and plug in your USB to the computer and phone and wait for the drivers to install.
4. Click your 'start menu' and select 'Computer', click the 'Tools' menu at the top left of the screen and select 'Folder Options' and then the 'View' tab, put the radio dot in the 'Show hidden files, folders or drives', also remove the check-mark from 'Hide extensions for known file types' and click 'Apply' then 'OK'.
5. Run the mobile support tool 'exe or setup' file, select the emergency firmware recovery thingy and enter your phones I.D from earlier
When the mobile support tool finds your firmware download, click to download it.
6. Immediatly navigate to 'C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone\' where you will find your firmware file in the process of downloading (mine was called 'V10A_00.kdz').
7. Keep an eye on the mobile support tool to see when the download is going to complete, before it does right click on the white background of the 'C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone\' folder and select 'Refresh' to update the firmware files downloaded file size - ideally do this several times during the download process to allow Windows to calculate the file size faster at the end and produce a useable '.KDZ' firmware file before the mobile support tool get's too far into the process of extracting it.
8. Once the mobile support tool changes from the downloading screen to the flashing part grab your firmware file and drag it to the desktop or any other location to copy it, you only have a small amount of time to do this before the mobile support tool extracts the files and deletes the '.KDZ' file so don't worry about scratching your arse just yet!
Just a note, I also copied the extracted '.CAB' file and 'DIAGCommand.xml' files for no real reason!
9. Once Windows has copied it and the 'File Copy' box closes YANK THE USB LEAD OUT OF YOUR PHONE!
If for any reason your computer takes longer than 10 seconds after the download finishes to copy the file then pull your USB lead if you don't want the phone updated and go buy yourself a decent computer!
If you wait any longer than 10 seconds after the download completes you may well brick your phone which I'd like to add I accept NO responsibility for, not even if you follow my method to the letter and still end up bricking your phone I promise you I won't lose a moments sleep over it!
What I can tell you is that the 10 seconds time frame I give is an over safe time frame. In reality your phone will not start to flash any data until it reboots so I suggest having the volume turned up to listen for the USB disconnect / reconnect sound. At the very latest remove the USB cable after the disconnect sound but if you hear the reconnect and the cable is still attached you have 2 choices, 1: Do nothing and have an updated mobile phone or 2: Pull out the USB cable and have no phone. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Hope this helps you. Please 'Thank Me' if it does.

P.S. You may now want to go back to your Computer/ Tools/ View folder and set them back to default.

First off im sorry for quoting op. Im try said method to get a kdz thats not released. As soon as im using old mobile support tool btw. But as soon as dl hits 100 tool attempts to extract it and imeaditly deletes its no 10 seconds. Literally like 1/2 second the goes to error. Long story short. I got a old lg vista frp locked and no available method to bypass i was gonna attempt to update it to a newer firmware to see if ne of the methods work there. The phone was released with kk and not really a antirollback protection. But theres a speci proced to downgrade and i figured if i could get back kk no frp

the method seems to work, so thank you for this solution, i tried a few times until I made it happen, the thing with this is that you can only get recent updates, and in my case I'm looking for an older version of the firmware. hope your post will be usefull to other. thank you.
