.NET CF & Hardreset - still not possible?
|
From: Rampf on 12 Apr 2008 18:45 Hello Is it really not possible to perform a hardreset with newer devices using ..NET CF? Thanks Rampf
From: Chris Tacke, eMVP on 12 Apr 2008 20:10 Has nothing to do with CF or native code. If the OEM provides a capability to do it, then you can. If they don't you can't. Can't see really any good reason for an application to ever hard reset - that would effectively erase the application itself - unless you're in ROM, and in that case you're probably the OEM and you'd have a hook to do the hard reset anyway. -- Chris Tacke, Embedded MVP OpenNETCF Consulting Giving back to the embedded community http://community.OpenNETCF.com "Rampf" <rampf(a)rampf.com> wrote in message news:ueO2z7OnIHA.4664(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Hello > > Is it really not possible to perform a hardreset with newer devices using > .NET CF? > > Thanks > > Rampf
From: Rampf on 13 Apr 2008 03:20 Thanks Chris It would be a security feature for our devices to remotly wipe the device...

There is a way to do it but i think this won't work on all the devices. try following if it helps you. SetCleanRebootFlag(); KernelIoControl(IOCTL_HAL_REBOOT, NULL, 0, NULL, 0, NULL);

As Chris said, the OEM has provide capability to do it. SetCleanRebootFlag() will work in the emulator but not in most devices (especially device running WM5) In Windows Mobile 6 you can use the RemoteWipe CSP. P/Invoke DMProcessConfigXML from aygshell.dll and pass this: <wap-provisioningdoc> <characteristic type="RemoteWipe"> <parm name="doWipe" value="1"/> </characteristic> </wap-provisioningdoc> as the XML configuration data. If the app is trusted then the device will immediately do a cold reboot after executing the command. Here's an MSDN link to DMProcessConfigXML http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms852998.aspx -- Regards, Christian Resma Helle http://christian-helle.blogspot.com "gupta25" <gupta25(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:66793b5d-66d9-4ad2-9995-b11a8c1014bb(a)z24g2000prf.googlegroups.com...
