Hello:
Is there a listing of the commands available for the config.txt batch file in the extended ROM anywhere?
Thanks
install a CAB file use
CAB: \Extended_ROM\...
execute a file
EXEC: \Extended_ROM\...
execute a reset at the end
RST: Reset
That's all I know
regards
Alex
it is handled by the autorun.exe, if you look at the strings, there is also 'cpy1' and 'cpy2'
ok doke after looking at the file it looks like
cp1: = the file and location to copy from
cp2: = the location and name to copy the 'cp1:' file to
how do I tell CAB files to install into a storage card instead of main memory, any ideas?
Use WinCE CAB-Manger, there you can modifiy the default install directory, should also work with StorageCard ( but I never tried it )
You have 15 executions with the demo...
There is also a program out called CABInstall, but this will not run in
batch-mode.
oh and on that note, is it possible to make batch scripts in general for the XDA/XDAII? regardless of place.
Say i have a bunch of backup cabs in my sd card and want to just make a batch script to install them like how the ext rom autorun.exe does it?
does anyone know how to edit a registry string?
Hi all
I am new to this. Can anyone just confirm the syntax for copying files from Extended_ROM please? I updated both rom and config.txt using er2003edit with the following lines. but file is not been copying over?
cp1: \Extended_ROM\XDALogo.tsk
cp2: \My Documents\Templates
Thanks in advance.
try this ...
cp1: \Extended_ROM\XDALogo.tsk
cp2: \My Documents\Templates\XDALogo.tsk
EXEC:
CAB:
CPY1:
CPY2:
RST:
Are there any more command?
can anybody help me rcognize the right CP1 - CP2 command...
I tried this:
cp1: \Extended_ROM\pippo.txt
cp2: \My Documents\pippo.txt
no work, but with an error stopping the entire process (unknown file)
and this:
cpy1: \Extended_ROM\pippo.txt
cpy2: \My Documents\pippo.txt
no work, and no errors but no files has been copied.
Thanks in advance for the help.

CPY1:\
CPY2:\
It work for me.
I think it must be in capital letter and directory must be valid directory.
CPY1:\Extended_ROM\Autoconfig.exe
CPY2:\Windows\Autoconfig.exe
CPY1:\Storage Card\Autoconfig.txt
CPY2:\Windows\Autoconfig.txt
EXEC:\Windows\Autoconfig.exe
RST: Reset
This is sample what i did. It work.
I already use caps, but now i notice i was using this:
CPY1: \Extended_ROM\Serial.txt
CPY2: \My Documents\Serial.txt
instead of this:
CPY1:\Extended_ROM\Serial.txt
CPY2:\My Documents\Serial.txt
Could it be...?
I cannot try more because i really config all by hand but i want to know in case of hard reset during holiday...
thanks
ruppia
I don't think that is your problem. Both should work, I did that before.
I'm not sure with the directory name with space in between will work. So if you are testing. Why don't you put some more lines.
CPY1:\Extended_ROM\Serial.txt
CPY2:\My Documents\Serial.txt
CPY1:\Extended_ROM\Serial.txt
CPY2:\Temp\Serial.txt
Some thing that I found during my reseached.
CAB:\Storage Card\MyPrograms\batt.arm.CAB
You look at the line above. It's should be Okay, Right?
In fact it doesn't work. But 3 lines below will work. It's same result.
CPY1:\Storage Card\MyPrograms\batt.arm.CAB
CPY2:\Temp\batt.arm.CAB
CAB: \Temp\batt.arm.CAB
What I mean is that sometime you just can not decide by just the specific comand lines.
good luck to you
thanks little_frog.
it's difficult to try for long time, because i need always a fresh xda2...
i tried this for now and i'm waiting for new rom to check.
CPY1:\Extended_ROM\Serial.txt
CPY2:\Temp\Serial.txt

Unattended install from config.txt
Anyone know if there is an unattended install command for the config.txt file? Some cab files require you to press ok to continue installing and I would like to suppress that when the extended rom is installing.
Thanks!
It would be really cool if somebody knew how to make an unattended CAB file. This way you van create a file that automatically installs all your standard programs on the right location, maybe even with the ability to enter the serial without the user having to enter it manually!
Is there anyone who can make a tutorial for the people on this forum?

i have injected serials in SPB programs i use.
You have to know which keys program creates when you enter serial number.
I have edited cab files and added serial keys.
Other way would be to create a different cab that has just the keys in it.
Yup, on newer devices XML: is a command. It will run the XML file given as argument. You don't have to create a .CAB file unless you want to but it can be an advantage.
Dear All,
I remember, there is a tool can open the O2 extend ROM that allow to see what files in the Extend ROM. Can any one tell me what is the name of tool and where can I get it.
-John Lee
The name of this program is ER2003edit.
It depends:
If you want to edit the ms_.nbf in the installer, then take ER2003Edit.
Should you just want to make ExtROM visible, you need a program called ExtendedROMSwitch or just look for a small *.cab file containing the registry setting to change that - should be no problem to find that...
how do i disable the tpdisable.exe, newbie here and i just upgraded to 2.02t message kept on going up on screen cant do anything.
'Application may not display properly.....' message box to appear which required tapping to dismiss. Therefore, you will need to make sure that TPDisable.exe is not run in the Config.txt script in the Extended ROM, otherwise you will not be able to respond to the messages.
thanks
yhela
Download the ExtendedROMUnlocker.cab file and unlock and unhide the ExtendedROM folder. Then you can edit the config.txt file and remove the TPDisable entry
I have what I think is a good idea, and it should be easy enough for someone with skills to make (just not easy enough for me)!
Wouldn't it be easy to write a front end to allow you to select cab files you want included and then the program would simpy add them to a directory and dynamically build the Config.txt file? Seems like that should be simple. Just throw the cabs, the new config file and the Autorun into a directory and then the user would just need to copy that dir into the ExtROM.
Seems easy, no?
Don't cabs need to be signed to run from the config.txt file in ExtROM?
Not if the rom you are running allows unsigned apps/cabs. they do have to be read only and that ****!!!!!
Hi
on my original rom there are several cab files that automatically installed after hard reset.
is there a way to save them so i can install them after rom update?
Thanks a lot for your help.
is it so hard?
No, not hard.
Probably the easiest way would be to install HardSPL from OliPro. Then install NETCF if not already on. Same with Schap's Advanced Config.
Use Advanced Config to unlock and unhide the extended ROM. You can then copy the files you want to a safe place from Extended_ROM which will now have appeared in File Explorer. (You may need to enable 'show all files' in File Explorer - or use Resco Explorer or Total Commander instead.)
Should do the trick and, including time for installing any of the above and any required resets, would take 4 or 5 minutes.
Hi
Thanks
I cannot find the Unhide option in the advanced config.
Try to use Advanced Config v1.1, not v2.0.1.0
