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.

I've just recently upgraded from wm2003 to wm2003se from zeroextreme's ROM. I've noticed that there isn't no Microsoft Reader in the basic apps installed. I then downloaded the installer of Microsoft Reader for PPC. What I would like to do is for it to be included in the basic apps to be installed after a hard-reset. How do I do this?
MSReaderPPC
Add this command line into your Config.txt file of your Extended ROM.
CAB: \Extended_ROM\msreader_arm.CAB
Download the attachment, unzip and place the cabinet file within into your Extended ROM folder.

I can't seem to edit / change the config.txt file in the Extended ROM. I tried editing it from the Extended ROM and Pocket Word prompts me with this:
"No storage memory available
Tap Cancel, use File Explorer to delete some files, and try again. Or, move the note to an alternate storage location.
Tap Discard to close the document without saving changes"
I then tried to copy the config.txt file to a different folder (i.e. My Documents) and edit it from there. After doing this, I tried to overwrite the config.txt in the Extended ROM with the new config.txt and it says:
"Action Failed
Cannot overwrite file 'config.txt'. The media is write protected.
Press 'Yes' to continue."
extrom unlocker
try this to unlock/unhide your extrom and edit/cook as well.
Re: extrom unlocker
:lol: harhar.. got it.. thanks a lot!
Thank you so much for posting a copy of the CAB file! I had to replace my phone and the new one wouldn't sync. I was getting desparate because most of my books are in .lit format - beginning to go through withdrawl symptoms. And the MS Reader for PPC only loads through the Mobile Device Center. I've been scouring the 'net trying to find some answer that works to fix the problem and coming up with nothing effective. With this CAB, I don't need to sync. Thanks again!
Quite an ancient thread, I hope I'll get some answers...
This CAB does not work on my WinCE 6.0 handheld with ANYKA CPU.
Most of the CAB I download do not work. Only CABs found in MioPocket package work.
Why?
MioPocket contains MS Reader too, already "installed", but upon starting it complains about internal error 010, which afaik means "messing fonts".
So where do I get missing fonts from?
I am continuing the search for the holy grail that is a perfect self-installing and configuring hard reset. I have edited my ext ROM and config to work ok but now i am trying to make my own CAB file using WinCE Cab Manager.
Whilst I have succesfully created CAB files to change registry settings I am unable to create a CAB file that will install files to the pda AND THEN RUN them. The files are copied to the pda but I cannot find a way to automatically run one of them once copied.
Can anyone offer any advice?
Many thanks,
Coj
if the file name and destination are predefined ... why don't you use the normal EXEC command just after the CAB command in the Config.txt
ex:
CAB: \Extended ROM\<File.cab>
EXEC: \<Dir>\<File.ext>
cojones,
this link is very usefull for CAB file building.
http://www.codeproject.com/ce/pocketpc_deploy.asp
the essence of the CAB file is the .INF .
this link show's you how to make one.
they refer to cabwiz, but you can use the .inf in WinCE Cab Manager.
Thanks for your help chaps, I've knocked valuable minutes off my hard resets.
Now just got to sort out a "script" for applying program settings and reg keys...the quest continues!

Is there anyway to install UC files on card instead of device ,any command which we can possibly put on sdconfig.txt which tells it to install all files in cab folder(on sdcard) to sd card only directly?
Yes. You have to hard code the application to install to the storage card.
seems like alot of work to me ,i use wm7 by maxniper ,maybe you can tell me (a link or rom ) which tools will be helpful to open the file and edit it . although the other way could be to edit cab files installation directories with WinCE CAB Manager but that i have not tried yet ,also it would require editing all cab files one by one.
I was actually thinking of the CAB installers not autorun, although using this:
Code:
HIDE:ENABLED
LOCK:DISABLED
CAB: ...
LOCK:ENABLED
Hide:DISABLED
might allow you to select each cab.
Another thought is: if you have the cabs, manually install them onto the storage card and then copy links to the programs using
Code:
CPY1:TheFileYouWantToCopy
CPY2:WhereYouWantItToGo
[SIZE=+1]Description[/SIZE]
Due to my own needs and as I have not found anything as simple as this
I have written a very simplified batch processing command.
No version numbering or such thing at the moment.
The application consists of two files:
BatchLaunch.exe
BatchLaunch.bat
The .exe file is the batch processor, the .bat file lists the commands to execute.
At the moment two types of entries in the .bat file are supported:
Direct paths to executables, for the moment only .exe files
wait() command, getting parameter milliseconds to wait, e.g. wait(1500) to wait 1.5 seconds before processing next line
Multiple BatchLaunch apps at the same time are supported by simply renaming
both, .exe and .bat file.
So if you want to use a second set of BatchLaunch you could name it Something.exe and Something.bat.
[SIZE=+1]Using BatchLaunch with HD2/Leo Android[/SIZE]
Can be perfectly used together with yozgatg's Gen.Y DualBOOT to boot HD2 into Android.
For Gen.Y DualBOOT just rename oringinal haret.exe to zharet.exe and
BatchLaunch to haret.exe and haret.bat.
Content of haret.bat is as simple as
Code:
\Storage Card\CLRCAD.exe
\Storage Card\zharet.exe
Have fun with this simple but in my opinion brilliant little helper.
As more and more guys seem to have problems setup this simple app I have prepared BatchLaunch for both ways, with or without Android folder on storage card.
Extract one these new packages to the root of your Storage Card.
Use BatchLaunch_SD_Root.rar if you do not have an Android-folder.
Use BatchLaunch_SD_Android.rar if you do have an Android-folder.
[SIZE=+1]Testing that BatchLaunch works on your device[/SIZE]
O.K. just to make sure that BatchLaunch is working I have setup
a small testing environment.
Extract the Test.rar to the root of your storage card and start BatchLaunch.exe . The test project is setup to use the "Storage Card" path so it will fail with "Speicherkarte" paths.
BatchLaunch should now start Test.exe which is a simple standard project of M$ Visual Studio.
If this works for you, that proves that BatchLaunch works and you may have a configuration fault if not working with your customizations.
I think you forgot to mention that you have to edit the .bat file... but so far its working.
Great Idea, unfortunately it is not working here on my (german) HD2. I tried several combinations in the .bat file, like "\Storage Card\xxx.exe" and "\Speicherkarte\xxx.exe" but there has never been any reaction when I tried to start your correctly renamed .exe file. As soon as I clicked on the .exe files itself which should be lauched by the .bat files, they started well.
So there might be a problem with your .exe file which doesn't seem to do anything here on my hd2.
If you have some time to check this, I am of course ready to serve you with tests and so on
If you need more details, just tell me.
Hi Downy,
I'm from Germany, too. However I am using a non German
ROM as Miri's ROMs are available in Englisch only.
I have the following structure on my SD:
- root of SD card
|- zharet.exe (real, renamed haret.exe)
|- haret.exe (renamed Batchlaunch.exe)
|- haret.bat
haret.bat should look like follows:
Code:
\Storage Card\CLRCAD.exe
\Storage Card\zharet.exe
Where "Storage Card" is the name of your SD card exactly like it is shown in
Explorer.exe when you browse to your root folder. So for German ROMs this
is most likey "Speicherkarte".
Does this match your configuration so far ?
Hello,
yes, matching exactly my current setup. Just instead of "Storage Card" I have currently "Speicherkarte", but I also tried it with "Storage Card" previously.
I also checked that all characters are in lower case but that doesn't seem to be important anyway.
Just tried it with a German ROM but that works, too.
As you said before it works perfect if you start the .exe by hand.
- Do you use Gen.Y ?
- Did Gen.Y work with the original haret.exe (of course no sound, but just for testing) ?
I could think of Gen.Y calling a fixed path of \Storage Card\haret.exe which of course would not work with a German ROM. I have not tested it but would be an
explanation to me.
In this case you could create a shortcut to your haret.exe on SD in the \Windows\Startup\ folder, I think it's \Windows\Autostart\ in German ROM.
If you want to go back to good old Windows you can just rename the haret.exe to something other by using filemanager in Android.
Then it would even boot faster than using Gen.Y
tried using this with Dan's Froyo with Sense build (which puts the files in /Storage Card/Android)...
I changed the haret.bat to reflect the change in directory but it still wont start using Gen.Y (Gen.Y boots successfully if I don't use this)
is the utility only able to detect and use haret.exe and haret.bat in the root of the Storage Card?
I cannot reproduce ANY problem espacially yours pongster.
If you use Dan's Build which is located in \Storage Card\Android you have two
choices of starting Android using Gen.Y .
Method #1:
Rename "\Storage Card\Android\haret.exe" to "\Storage Card\Android\zharet.exe"
Copy BatchLaunch.exe to "\Storage Card\Android\" and rename it to haret.exe
Copy BatchLaunch.bat to "\Storage Card\Android\" and rename it to haret.bat
In this case the content of haret.bat would be:
Code:
\Storage Card\Android\CLRCAD.exe
\Storage Card\Android\zharet.exe
If using this method you will have to change the registry Key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gen.Y\DualBOOT\AndroidBootFolder to contain the value "Android"
Method #2
Copy BatchLaunch.exe to "\Storage Card\" and rename it to haret.exe
Copy BatchLaunch.bat to "\Storage Card\" and rename it to haret.bat
In this case the content of haret.bat would be:
Code:
\Storage Card\Android\CLRCAD.exe
\Storage Card\Android\haret.exe
No need to rename haret.exe in Android folder in this case.
Using this method you won't need to change anything using Gen.Y .
I have tested both ways and they are working perfect.
I used the 1st option and no dice there...
will try 2nd option...

thanks, but I find it cumbersome to take out the SD Card (where all my stuff is, music, videos, ebooks) just to be able to boot into windows...
If I could only figure out how to get this BatchLaunch working...

BatchLaunch.exe works and runs the Test.exe...
I tried renaming to haret.exe and edited the bat file as you suggested via Resco Explorer... still no dice... Batchlauncher.exe runs but when renamed to haret.exe it wont run at all
Works great with Gen.Y boot.
Thank you very much
I just wanted to report back, I currently have not been able to solve the problem yet. I will try your test enviroment and report back later.

Hi everybody,
I have a problem which drives me crazy and I'm hoping that somebody on this forum will be able to help me. I have HTC HD2 phone and using latest Feb 1st Energy ROM. As a part of this ROM there is a tool XDA_UC which I have been using successfully for a while. Originally I was installing most of my application on to the phone memory (all of them resided in \Storage card\XDA_UC), but because I struggle with a free storage space I decided to install all of them to storage card. I moved all the cab files to \Storage Card\XDA_UC\Storage, but nothing got installed. I tried also \Storage Card\XDA_UC\Manual, but same case. I reduced number of cabs down to 2 and changed their names not to contain any no-alphabetical characters, but still same results. I'm following this information regards to cab placement:
* My.tsk file from "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
and if not present Cook.tsk from Windows Folder.
* import *wifi*.*xml and *mail*.*xml provisional registry settings for WiFi and Email setup.
* Copy Over User Files.
Check for "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Copy2Root" if present, Disable Manila from Homescreen then Copy files from "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Copy2Root" to the root of the device, Then checking for existence of wallpaper_TF3D.png or wallpaper_TF3D.jpg in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Copy2Root\Windows" and adding that to
[HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila]
"HomeBackgroundPath"="\\Windows\\wallpaper_TF3 D.jp g"
Import registry files from "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Copy2Root\Windows\manila.reg" If present
Re-enable Manila on Homescreen and redraw it. Now also works for the Sense 2.1 and up versions.
* .xdas files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
* Silently run Legacy SDConfig.txt from Storage Card
(If your using RunCC.exe or Autorun you do not need to point to or use SDAutorun.exe or SDConfig.txt) Thanks to RoryB
Commands for SDConfig.txt can be found here....
* .cab files in "\Storage Card\autoinstall"
This makes it compatible with your storage card's setup for Tom's Autoinstall.
* .cab files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
* .cab files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Storage", These cab files will be tempted to install to Storage Location. Not recommend using this method. Please use Manual instead.
* .cab files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Manual",These cab files will start with Full User interaction capabilities to choose where to install to.
* .reg files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
* .xml files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
* .mscr files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
* .cer files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
* Create Shortcuts and more from Registry Keys
More information here....
* Copy over welcomehead.192.01.png & welcomehead.192.02.png present in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Copy2Root\Windows" to the Windows folder.
* Copy over welcomehead.96.01.png & welcomehead.96.02.png present in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Copy2Root\Windows" to the Windows folder.
Actually everything is copied over from Copy2Root folder to root, but the above Splashcreens get their file atributes removed before this happens.
* Add native support for .mscr, .mortrun, .xda, xdai, xdas & .xdaz files

I also created SDConfig.txt in \Storage Card\XDA_UC with commands to install two cabs on to storage card with no luck.
What am I doing wrong? Why I cannot get any cab file installed into storage card using XDA_UC and why also interactive install is not working?
Is there any install log file to check? Many mane versions back I got the message from XDA_UX that install was finished, but this is not working either and I don't know what is broken.
Any suggestions, or tips are appreciated.
Thank you.
I found partial solution.
If cab files are placed under \storage card\XD_UC\SD
then all of them are being installed using interactive installation where I can choose location to install cab to.
Still this is just semi-automatic, I'm wondering whether there is an option of installing those cabs into storage card automatically without any interaction.

I saw a mortscript over on the Rhodium forum that allowed this. I even tested it for a while. But when I went to Rhodium, I install everything in main memory storage anyway.
I'm attaching the mortscript, you can look inside it to see what it does. It goes in the XDA_UC directory.
EDIT: As I recall, you need to make sure that the CAB files do not require interaction, and there is an additional directory you need to create if any of the cabs need human intervention, like to hit "Accept", etc.
I have the same problem

I give it a try. Thank you.
I use this script:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8865033&postcount=130
It auto installs most cabs to the SD Card, it seems to have a problem with large files such as the Waze navigation cab.
hi,
i've tried to install cabs whith this procedure, but i've a problem.
my hd2 is locked with lock password because wm6.5 has bugged from 2 weeks ago when i started my phone without charge battery. then after i entered my lock password, i entered my pin code ok too, then it has stopped again and my lock password was reset by wm6.5. so i can't unlock my phone. because i've not save my contacts, i don't want to make hard reset to solve it without saving it before.
by reading this post, and other ones, i've an idea to use autocab install on sdcard to try to solve my problem. i found a .cab that normaly put hklm lock password disable and i tried the script that stevedebi talked about. but i think that the loading of the script 0002_sashimi_sdauto.mscr can not be ok because the lock password is active.
Is anyone can confirm that or that it depend of a special rom ? (my rom is an official french operator rom).
perhaps, i put files and directory not on good place on my sdcard, for resum it is :
i've created directory \XDA_UC and \XDA_UC\SDAuto , i also test whith \SDAuto
i put the cab in \XDA_UC\SDAuto and \SDAuto and the 0002_sashimi_sdauto.mscr on \ of the sdcard.
can you confirm those localisations are also ok ?

XDA_UC runs after a hard reset, but I think it is only on NRG ROMs. You have to have the executable in the \Windows directory to run it.
Can you setup Activesync and sync the device to your computer? That would backup the contacts.
