How to make a MC9060 Persist after a Cold Boot
Posted by Kevin Merta on 06 July 2011 02:30 PM

Cold Boot Process:

  1. Eject battery
  2. Press and release the trigger AND the power button together
  3. Insert battery

Persistence after cold boot:

  1. Create a .cpy file that copies the OrderSavantCEInstaller.cab file to a temp location outside of the application directory
    1. Example of .cpy file contents (without the header numbers): 
      1. \application\OrderSavantCEInstaller.cab >  \windows\OrderSavantCEInstaller.cab
  2. Create a .reg file that runs the OrderSavantCEInstaller.cab on cold boot only
    1. Example of .reg file contents (without the header numbers):
      1. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Symbol\Startup\Programs\Prog11]
      2. "Name"="\windows\wceload.exe"
      3. "Command"=" /noaskdest /noui \windows\OrderSavantCEInstaller.cab"
      4. "Continue"=dword:0
      5. "ColdBootOnly"=dword:1
      6.  
      7. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Savance]
      8.  
      9. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Savance\OrderSavantCE]
      10. "Server"="http://yourservername"
      11. "RemoteDevice"="False"
      12.  
      13. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Symbol\Startup\Programs\Prog11]
      14. "Name"="\Program Files\Installer\OrderSavantCE.exe"
      15. "Command"=""
      16. "Continue"=dword:1
      17. "ColdBootOnly"=dword:0
  3. Cold boot the device
    1. Run remcapture (application on the MC9060)
    2. Set up the device per the remcapture application instructions
    3. Run remcapture again and save the .reg changes to the application directory
  4. Networking is restored from the built in options/export option in the wireless software on the device
    1. This will also create a .reg file which you can save in the application directory

 

Supplemental Information:

Symbol Remote Capture Utility (RemCapture) is a PC application that enables the user to capture the changes to the registry and file system of a connected Symbol Windows Mobile device. By capturing the registry and file system changes and saving them to a non-volatile location, these changes can persist a cold boot of the device.
