I have been reading lots of posts on the forum and got so far but now I'm stuck.
I have an XDAII and have managed to unlock and unhide the extended rom. now I can access the extended rom while XDAII is in the cradle.
I understand how I can add cab files to it and will be using the configcreator tool to edit the config.txt file.
The problem I have is; all the pockekpc software I have, is on my computer and I have only ever installed it through activesync the normal or official way. When ever I have tried to put the files directly on my phone and click on them I always get the messeage this is not a valid pocket pc application..... or something like that.
So how do I convert the software files I have on my computer to cab files so I can include them in the extended rom? :shock: ? :?:
To most of you guys this must seem like a nuby question sorry :roll: , but I can't seem to find the answer on the forum.....
Is there a tool I can use or a program that I can use to make useable cab files?
Also just a though when I install programs via activesync does my computer convert the files to cabfiles and then automatically transfer them to my device? if so can I somehow copy the cabfiles from the temporary location on my computer :?:
A step by step guide would be helpfull but any help would be appreciated :?
Thanks in advance

Some 'high-end' software will leave a copy of their cab files on a specific directory (i.e. you have a choice of choosing). Those you can just go to the directory and copy it. If you do not know what I'm talking here, nevermind
Anyway, for normal simple software, they will most probably extract themselves to temporary directory. Example
C:\Documents and Settings\'yourWindowsUserName'\Local Settings\Temp\
where 'yourWindowsUserName' is your username for the PC. My guess would be, try to search for *.cab files in your temp directory (i.e. as the above dir) before you install your software. THEN, start your software installation, and do a search again on the 1st setup screen, see if you are lucky And try to do another search after you're done with the setup.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for that I'll have a go.

I managed to edit my extended rom! 8)
I was able to add the cab files from tom tom navigator 3 and it installs them perfectly after a hard reset!
The only issue I have, when I run Tom tom for the first time after a hard reset I have to keep entering the activation code. Not really a major issue more of a pain.
Wonder if anyone knows how to get it to enter the activation code automatically :?: Bat file or something :?:
This sites really helped me with my tinkering I think its about time to donate
Thanks for all the help guys

Hi :
Here after what I do with succes :
When installing the application from ActSync, you must select "Storage Card" instead deffault location to install.
Then, you have to cancel the installation process before the progress bar on your PPC's screen ends.
A dialog box will ask if you're sure to abort the process.
At this stage, you go to storage card throught your PC Explorer, and you'll find the cab file there.
You save it away.
This cab file on the storaqe card will be automatically removed when you confirm that you really want cancel the installation process on the PPC's screen.
Or...
Go to c:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync folder in your desktop and you can find there more cabs. Or simply find all the *.cab files on your HDD and you'll be surprised.
Thanks for this I will check out both methods
Does anyone know what the best freeware tool for modifying the cabfile is? and where I can download it :?:
Thanks for the help

I think,that everyone here knows only WinCE Cab Manager from OCP Software. But this is commercial,but...on internet is everything...
Hey there,
I have a huge problem with my C550 (with latest firmware). My little cousin has deleted some files of HTC album and the camera app - so they wont start anymore (phone just tells that files are missing). As I dont want to reflash at the moment I have a huge request.
Can someone with a C550 or equivalent phone *.zip the whole Windows folder and send it to me so that I can extract the missing files I need to resurrect the phone (currently I have no idea which files are missing - i need to compare)?
Please help me xda-developers.
I feel like a total IDIOT !!!
I was messing around with my TyTn trying to unlock the ext rom.....
I installed fit4cat 1.0 checked it out...didn't do anything with it.
My TyTn started acting a little strange..so I did a hard reset.
When it reboot during the customization process it tells me:
\Extended_ROM\MT_ShortcutMMS-Hermes.CAB does not exist.....
then it freezes!!!!!
What did I do !!! I'm a fool!
Can someone help me out?
I just want to reset it and get the ext rom installed..
btw..i have bootloader 1.14
ok...i kind of got things going again.....!
I still get the message about the missing .cab file!!
I can now access the ext rom folder.....now the question is how do I instal .cab files for the ext rom?
I downloaded the appropriate ext rom version for my device and it contains a bunch of .cab files, one of them being the missing file
How do I get it in there...do I simply instal it like a standrd .cab file?
Does it need to be installed in the ext rom ?
hahaha your not the only one... what you need to do is visit the wiki here and download the appropriate ExtROM for your device and... use fid4cat to unhide and unlock the EtxROM and simpy copy the missing file back there... re lock the ROM using fid4cat and hard reset it....

ok.....where do you copy the missing files? at the root level of the ExtRom folder?
There's other folders in there:
Program Files
WMDRM
I don't see any other .cab files in the ExtRom folder of my device...is that normal? Should I copy all the ExtRom file I downloaded since I have none in the device ExtRom folder?
if you can see the extrom and there are no cab files inside it then you have somehow formatted your EtxROM, you need to copy all files from the relevant downloaded ExtROM onto your PDA in the ExtROM folder and relock the etxROM

So I just copied the Android Froyo files directly onto my SD card, and when I try to open them on my HTC HD2 I recieve an error that the file cant be opened and I should try to reinstall it.
Any help ?
Bai!
When you unzip the downloaded zipped file on your PC, you should end up with an android folder. It's that folder that you need in the root of your SD.
It's detailed very clearly how to install and run Android on every single build page that I've read. You should start where you downloaded it from.

I did that, same error.
Anyonez ?
Please
We're not mind readers. What exactly did you do and what was the error?
ALright:
- I copied the folder to my SD Card on the HD2.
- I go to 'Start' -> File explorer -> And then I select the audio file thing and after that the file to start the Android itself.
When I do the last step, I get an error that says:
The file "CLRCAD/HARET" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of it's componets cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.."
Search for sdkcerts and install that on your phone. That should fix your problem.
Sent from my iPhone 5 beta using the XDA App
Does it matter where I extract the file to ?
Do I have to put it on my SD card or on my HD2 program files ?
THANKS!
Tried both locations, getting an error while installing the .cab:
'Installation of SdkCerts.cab has failed.'
Hey guy sorry if I didn't post right, butvi have a problem I just put a new build of android on my phone its cell core version, everything works fine like emulators, internet, etc. the only thing that doesn't work is when I try to download androzip for I can urar files and unzipped 7z files.

Make your own topic please.
So what point I am at:
- I copied the Android folder to my SD Card on the HD2.
- I go to 'Start' -> File explorer -> And then I select the audio file thing and after that the file to start the Android itself.
When I do the last step, I get an error that says:
The file "CLRCAD/HARET" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of it's componets cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.."
-------------------
Then this person told me to download a .cab that would fix all the problems, and when I wanted to install it I got the error:
'Installation of SdkCerts.cab has failed.'
--------------------
And now I dont have a CLUE what to do! Lol
I am guessing you are running a stock windows mobile rom? You need to either run a custom rom or find "Advanced Configuration Tool" and install it so you can enable the rom to run all unsigned applications. Then you can run the android apps to boot it.
It is in the misc. section. More info: http://www.touchxperience.com/en/applications/advanced-configuration-tool.html
Uhm, where can I find a custom ROM :$?
I tried that Advanced Config, but when I try to run it on my phone it just gives me the error:
The file "AdvancedConfig" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of it's componets cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.."
**** it, I will just peform a hard reset
Making a back-up of my contacts at this moment.
Peformed a Hard-Reset and the Android and all other files are working FKING GREAT!
Love you guys!
If you get that problem again, you should install an app called "bsb tweaks" (or a similar app) and set it to "allow unsigned"
this should allow you to install things that you couldnt before...........
Glad you got it sorted.
Thanks, John, for helping me out!
I am new to Android and recently bought a Tab2 10.1 (SCH-I915). It is rooted and I deleted the system/etc/kies folder thinking it was remnants of the stand alone Kies program that I found out is not compatible with my device after having installed it . Now I have the same problem with internal memory showing up as /mnt/mmc/Downloaded Data. when connected to and viewed on PC. Can someone send me a copy of the system/etc/kies folder on a SCH-I915 so I can replace it?
I looked for a stock firmware for this tablet and can not find one to extract the folder from. I tried the firmware for a SCH-I925 but the folder contains different files and does not correct the problem.
I also did a factory reset but that did not replace/re-install the folder. It needs to be from a SCH-I915 model I suppose, Please help, If you have a SCH-I915 and could copy the entire folder and send it as an email attachment or .zip/.rar or if someone has found a place to download the SCH-I915 firmware I can extract it myself......
Started a new thread as the old one was over 6 months old. Found this as a solution posted on the old thread
