Help cracking software on Windows CE Device!

I'm not sure if I am in the right place to ask this, but here goes.

I work for a land surveying company and we have been using a software called C&G to collect data out in the field. The software runs on a piece of hardware called a data collector. To be more exact, it is an Allegro CX made by Juniper Systems. The device is loaded with Windows CE .Net 4.20 along with a program called PocketDOS. The C&G program runs inside of PocketDOS. The software is SUPER old and the company is no longer around to support it. We have no desire to purchase a new software package as this one works just fine for what we need and everyone is used to it.

We have at least 8 licenses for this software, but the problem is, it is coded to register based on the serial number of the Allegro data collector. We have had multiple data collectors go bad, so we are looking to purchase more units, but we will be unable to register the C&G software on these units because the serial numbers will be different.

So my question is, can anyone help me modify the C&G program and make it so that it does not check the serial of the data collector? That way, we can purchase new data collectors and load the software (that we have rights to) on the new units. If the company were around to support the software, we would be able to call them and they would generate new registration codes.

I can send links to download the software, along with any DLLs you might need from the data collector.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time!

Will not instal OTA software update Plus MTP problem

Hi all

Just bought an unlocked Sprint S4
Two problems
The lollipop OTA update aborts with message: "/system/media/BST_bootsamsung.qmg" has unexpected contents.
E: Error in /cache/update.zip (status 7) Installation aborted.

Secondly when connecting the S4 to a PC I get message from PC saying: 'the last usb device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and windows does not recognise it'

I've installed kies no help there.

searched for remedies tried developer options etc on the phone all to no avail.
cannot get windows to recognise the phone as mtp device

when I plug it in I get no notifications on the phone
it does show its charging
running windows 10

Hardware and software keys

I know it may be stupid but I want to test something. So is it possible to get hardware and on screen buttons working at the same time on rom like cyanogenmod 12.1 where is no option in settings to choose that? I found some old forum thread where was told to edit build.prop file but I tried it and I got only lights on hardware keys but buttons doesnt work.

Unlocked Galaxy S4 Your device has been modified. Software Updates are not available

Hello everyone! im sure this post has been covered but I having trouble navigating around and finding the info I need. I would like to start by saying 6 years ago I owned an htc hero that I rooted and installed cyanogenmod on using xda developers. everyone on here was extremely knowledgeable and helpful so this is where I am returning to first with my questions and issues. here is my story.\

we ordered and purchased my mother a galaxy s4 online. it came from Germany. We received it already unlocked, rooted, and custom software installed :(
its one thing for me to start with a stock phone and do it all myself, but im not sure how to take this already modified phone and turn it into cyanogenmod or back to stock (without losing root).

here is the phones current info
Galaxy S4 Model Number: GT-19500
Device Status: Custom
(Unlocked GSM Phone - Hooked up to bring your own ATT phone Straight Talk Line)
Android Version: 4.4.2
Baseband Version: 19500XXUGNF6
Kernel version: 3.4.5-2434847 dpi@SWDD3913 #1 (Wed Aug 6 16:24:19 KST 2014)
Build Number: KOT49H.19500XXUGNH2
SE for Android Status Enforcing SEPF_GT-19500_4.4.2_0040 (Mon Feb 02 13:58:13 2015)

I am very very outdated on my terms and what this all means but very much willing to learn!! im exited to start modifying her phone and making it better as it is ALWAYS dying and im not sure why the company we bought it from modded it in the first place. I would like info on what was done to this (if anyone knows) and how I can either get it wiped clean (so they have no access to the custom stuff they put on it) and how I can install either cyanogenmod or another up to date custom rom, OR how I can restore it to factory rom that way I can do updates to newer android WITHOUT LOSING ROOT (if this is possible) all recommendations links and info is appreciated! I used to be apart of the xda community and have been out of the loop for a few years and would love to start learning again. my biggest fear is bricking or ruining my moms phone. she needs it for use everyday and I cant do anything that will ruin her phone (although I know all this comes with risk I trust the knowledge of most of the experienced users on here). her phone is an unlocked gsm phone as it is hooked up to a bring your own ATT phone Straight talk line.
Lets Get Started :)

Projecting Screen (software demos)

I have an M8 GPE (converted from Rogers).

I'm trying to come up with a way of doing web-demo's of my software. Thought the xda community may have suggestions. Apologies if this is the wrong forum for this question.

I have a Mac. For demo'ing an iPad app I use a lightening cable and quicktime to capture the video which then goes out to the world on a join.me. Sounds a bit convoluted but it works pretty reliably. I use the cable to mitigate video slow-downs with AirPlay on a congested wifi.

Are there any similar options with M8/GPE?
I can use Miracast to project my screen to a compatible TV, but it seems that Miracast Clients are not great (http://www.airserver.com/, www.airsquirrels.com/reflector/android/).

SGH-T399N Software on SGH-T399 Download Mode...

In the past, I had installed a SGH-T399N rom and later I had to erase that and revert back to stock and I noticed that the logo had the newer Android logo. Then I went to Download Mode and it said it was the SGH-T399 still! I have no idea how to revert the original Download Mode back to how it was before. If anyone has a solution please tell me. Thanks!
