Navman Unlocked and Mio Moov Unlocked

Homer · New Member

Hello all!

Can I use this method (or any other method) on my icn750, it has different file structure?

I found appstartupsec.exe from \diskonchip\navman\appstartupsec.exe.

Also I tried to do a shortcut from smartST_CE.exe which is located in \diskonchip\navman\smartST_CE\ and it says Unable to create shortcut. It makes a shortcut but the size is 0 bytes.

Any help appreciated

I managed to compile AppStartup executable for N40i.
I have also added a 2 sec delay - This ensures slower SD Cards are setup correctly(Worked on my Crucial 2GB)

With SD Card : Launches any *.exe in /Storage Card/Start/
If no application is found (i.e, no SD Card)
Launches the /Program Files/Navman/SmartST_CE/SmartST_CE.exe

Works great on N40i

maybe it helps, NavMan F20 has built in 512MByte MicroSD Storage Card, if you take it apart, can take it out, or remove Navman sticker at the back of the unit below there is a small door, there can be the card removed too.

On the MicroSD, there is a System directory, i think there must be the -iCN410.bm and iCN410.elf file modified to run other Nav software.

I'm not sure that it has WinCE 4.2 core, but it has some special OS.

I have followed the procedure fully checking the correctness of links.
However the error on startup is persistent.
"A filename must be specified" is shown and the hypotesis is that the new Navman has changed something in addressing.
The n40i version is 4.000.016.

Please, tell where to download the PRZ24 source code in order to debug and rebuild the stube file.
I understand the new startup file is pointing to the directory on secure digital card, where the default link is the Taskman. SO Taskman,exe should be loaded, but this chain apears wrongly executed by Navman PDA.

Thank you for any help and might be another option will be available instead?

I would appreciate to read how to play MP3 and which games can be found and where. Thank you.

Hi uday_chi
AppStartupSec.exe seems to be common to many models (maybe all). I suspect it does different things on different units but really not know.

i'm no programmer but many adding more 'else' statements, each with modded Appstartup paths of the other units would make this a "universal" unlock for Navmans? The unlock would run exe from startup or if no SD/CF card would run original Appstartupsec to launch as per normal.
To unlock would just need to copy original Appstartup to new location below and place your compiled Appstartupsec file in old location - should work Wink

Paths required as else statements are probably:
For 510:\My Flash Disk\Backup\Ficino
For 520:\My Flash Disk\Backup\Shackleton
For 530:\My Flash Disk\Navman\Lightning
For 550:\cf disk\navman\Socrates
For 750:\diskonchip\navman\smartST_CE\
For n20i, n40i,n60i: dirs??

Is this possible?

Yes, the 'soft hack' consists in the replacement of the 'hardcoded' OEM's Startup sequence with the slightly changed and compiled example of the startup stube provided by Microsoft SDK.

The 'universal' solution should simply implement the "CASE" switch with the list of all possible different options (models).

A better alternative will be the compiled EXE stube with an INI file supplying the correct directory and file name, which might be changed by user...

I have no right compiler to rebuild the code for WIN CE, but in the code:

// TestAppCe.cpp : Defines the entry point for the application.
//
#include "stdafx.h"
int WINAPI WinMain( HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPTSTR lpCmdLine,
int nCmdShow)
{
// TODO: Place code here.
SHELLEXECUTEINFO ShExecInfo;
WIN32_FIND_DATA FindFileData;
TCHAR AppPath[MAX_PATH];
HANDLE hF;
BOOL AppCard = FALSE;

hF = FindFirstFile (_T("/Storage Card/Startup/*.exe"),&FindFileData );
if (hF != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
AppCard = TRUE;
}
FindClose (hF);

ZeroMemory(&ShExecInfo,sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO));

ShExecInfo.cbSize = sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO);
ShExecInfo.fMask = SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS;

if (AppCard)
{
_tcscpy (AppPath, _T("/Storage Card/Startup/"));
_tcscat (AppPath, FindFileData.cFileName);
ShExecInfo.lpFile = AppPath;
ShExecInfo.nShow = SW_SHOW;
}
else
{
ShExecInfo.lpFile = _T("/My Flash Disk/Navman/Lightning/AppStartupSec.exe");
ShExecInfo.lpParameters = lpCmdLine;
ShExecInfo.nShow = nCmdShow;
}

ShellExecuteEx(&ShExecInfo);

return 0;
}

I see the only possibility of missing file name in INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE clause because EXE file is absent.
Cannot understand how this error might be generated, being the Taskman.exe physically available there.

The "else clause" should be replaced with all possible locations, model by model, but maybe after the reading of the file in the root directory saying which model is used:
/My Flash Disk/Navman/Lightning/AppStartupSec.exe
...

I would appreciate the availability online of a comprehensive list of differences between physical structures of different models:
- root, which files, which content
- startup directory, which file
- main file, where, the name
- ...

RE: dmart123 & mikmik
AppStartupSec.ini file where one can specify alternative paths (in order) is not a bad idea at all. It is indeed possible.

Uploading the application I am using (copy from my Navman N40i)

AppStartupSec.exe (http://www.fast-files.com/getfile.aspx?file=2555)

Sequence:
1. 2 sec sleep
2. Execute: /Storage Card/Startup/*.exe
3. Alternative: /Program Files/Navman/AppStartupSecNav.exe

Above AppStartupSecNav.exe is renamed original AppStartupSec.exe

I can enhance the program to read things from Startup.ini file ... if someone really asks for it Smile

N40i identification

In the root the file "Source.txt" exists with the following text inside:
Created: 2006-08-31 11:40:38:0843
Software: N40i 4_10_0025
Map Detail: Detail maps, World Outline
Map Data: EU 4_02_015
Map Region: ..
Part Num: ...

In
\Mobile Device\Program Files\Navman
the file named AppStartupSec.exe will be launching the
\Mobile Device\Program Files\Navman\SmartST_CE\SmartST_CE.exe

The last published file is working. Thank you.

1)
Could you post the source code and "howto" compile for WinCE please?

2)
Could you explain how to extend the unlocked NavMan with mp3 player on/from SD, divx player, and maybe some games please?
