Medion E3212 M10 unlock needed.......

unsuccessfull, i'll try to identifie the config in Miopocket, with it Gopal wasn't running
probably hours and days to
I'll keep you informed

It's probably possible to really unlock definitively the Medion device without sd card, but never seen on forums... Gopal zoom is too little, and POI's offers on Medion site are so stupid as Aldi's shops in Germany, Gas stations in Germany, etc. So needs a real third-part log for navigation. Primo is fine to install and upgrade, I would like to install Tomtom too, but never understood how to install the navcore.

Miopocket rewrites the registry to unlock the device. POI warner allows third party POI's within Gopal software

I have received unlock instructions for the Gopal P4440, No scripts or registry are involved, and everything works without SD card and is brick-proof...

This is based on the Pez GPS Menu.

Take original gopal menu.exe in root of My Flash Disk, rename to mnavdce.EXE.
Go to My Flash Disk/Navigation, rename mnavdce.EXE to mnavdceorig.EXE
Move newly renamed mnavdce.EXE from root of My Flash Disk to navigation folder.
Copy GPS Menu menu.exe (from unlock shell) to root of My Flash Disk. Copy sysinfosettings.ini (text = \GPS Menu\Config\GPS.ini) to Root of My Flash Disk.
Copy GPS Menu Folder to root of My Flash Disk.

To get FM Settings, etc to load at boot, go to My Flash Disk/Navigation and rename (already renamed from menu.exe and moved from root to ../navigation folder) mnavdce.exe to mnavdce.NOexe.
In same folder (/navigation) rename audiomanager.exe to mnavdce.exe.
Rename mnavdce.NOexe to audiomanager.exe.
Reboot.

Gopal is hardwired to run menu.exe (from root of My Flash Disk) and audiomanager.exe from ../navigation folder.
Now both (original) menu.exe (now moved and renamed to audiomanager.exe) which loads the FM Transmitter Modules and settings) and the new GPS Menu (in root of My Flash Disk) automatically start.
In Task Manager, they will show under their new aliases.

It is necessary for the original GoPal menu.exe (now called audiomanager.exe) to run at startup (which in turn triggers other modules and settings to start) in order for the FM Transmitter and TMC to both run at the same time--they both share Com1.

woaw, really impressive, but are these steps reversible?
is the use of an external unlock on sd still possible after the manipulation?
where have you found this procedure? I'd like to see copyscreens of that before trying
I really want to use a simple unlock like universalshell or miopocket, but some functions are missing, like bluetooth or voice recognition. It seems that Primo 1.2 allows it, but never found the items in the menus...

"Copy GPS Menu menu.exe (from unlock shell) to root of My Flash Disk"
What is unlock shell?

1, Yes the process is reversible, either by restoring a backup or remembering what changes you made.
2, I would imagine so but i'm not 100% sure.

4, I have no PNA devices with bluetooth or microphone for voice recognition so i can't write and test these features into Universal Shell. Primo will need sys.txt entries to enable these features but as i don't have the hardware i've never done it.

These instructions were based on the Pez GPS menu unlock, Menu.exe would have been part of that, It may have been renamed from something else, The Universal Shell equivalent is the MobileNavigator.exe/.mscr files renamed to Menu.exe/.mscr

You don't want MioPocket. It does not play well with GoPals--you will lose the ability to connect to a PC without a hard boot every time, and it will be impossible to run both the FM Transmitter and TMC. Yes, I tried it, and it took a bit of work to totally get rid of it once I found all the problems with it.
Plus MioPocket adds about 3 minutes to every boot. With my procedure, I boot in seconds.

For me, having an unlock or menu on the SD card kind of defeats the purpose of having it fast and permanent (no worries about hard or soft boot or if the SD card is even present or not). I use the SD card strictly for storing MP3 files.

You can likely use any menu shell you wish to--just substitute whatever starts the shell and rename it to 'menu.exe'.

Oh, and you can still run the original GoPal Navigator if you want to--just have the icon for it in the menu shell point to \My Flash Disk\Navigation\mnavdceorig.exe
Voice Recognition, you can forget about for now--in Primo 1.2. I've been working on it for quite some time and there are still elements missing. NOBODY has got it to fully work yet.
BlueTooth, I don't know either--My GoPal has the ability (supposedly), but I have no BlueTooth devices, so I have not bothered with it. The Bluetooth icon shows up in my Primo 1.2, but like the voice recognition microphone icon, it does not do anything or results in an error.

ok I'll try to re-use the menu.exe from Pez app
after print and read-translate-read-translate
f... system of backup from Medion, syncro via activesync don't work, and copy-paste like on my tomtom is not possible

conclusion tomorrow after test

"I use the SD card strictly for storing MP3 files."
I want to keep the original Gopal app in the flash memory, and install Primo on sd card. I suppose it's possible.
Another (stupid) question: the "menu.exe" is the screen with icons shortcuts taskbar etc. Is it correct?
So, what is this menu: [Please Register or Login to download file]

Just to clarify, what is the exact model of your GoPal--there are different ones floating about in this thread?
Not to step on any toes--FBF's Universal Shell is probably the same or better than Pez--but if you WANT Pez, and your GoPal is compatible with mine, I can bundle it up for you and provide a download so all you have to do is copy to your flash memory--would be all ready to go with apps and paths (which you might need to adjust depending where you want things installed).

My Medion is The P4440 (MD98530). Running CE 5.0, he has FM transmitter and BT option, so very disappointing to not can use them with Primo. Some users (like Fatboyfun) can obtain a menu with BT or TMC (TTS?) options available, but I don't. I've customized my sys.txt, but unsuccessful.
My problem is that I can't (except with Miopocket) run only CE, without nav application. I never could kill Gopal with Universal Shell, so the GPS port is already occupied. The difference between Gopal and Primo is that Primo has a close button, and Gopal no. So not necessary to keep a taskbar visible to come back to CE.
The TMC tool seems not useful, I've tried it today without SD. And the BT is a gadget not necessary.
With Pez, how to obtain the start menu of CE for example? Or a keyboard?

Have you tried renaming/moving the files as posted in post #23?

Because it seems the later Medion devices need to run the original Menu.exe and Audiomanager.exe to start some device drivers, On earlier Medions like mine, none of that was necessary, just replacing Menu.exe was enough.

If your device does not have the WinCE desktop installed then PNA Desktop can be used instead.

I'll try the procedure asap, but a backup of the renamed files is necessary...
I'll let you know

That is the exact same model as mine, and I have everything working (except Bluetooth which I don't care about).
So if you do all the renaming/copying as I did, everything should work.

All those are actually present in the GoPal default Windows install--just hidden from access. Pez GPS Menu (and others) simply provide the necessary shortcuts within the Menu interface pages.
But before you do anything, you need to get rid of MioPocket, seriously, and do a Hard Reset.
