Already got the answer. Just use WinRAR to extract. Thanks.
I use cabextract under Cygwin. Don't know if there's a better/easier way.

Please advise.
It is part of the upgrade packages. These packages are usually supplied as EXE files, but they can be unpacked using Winzip or Winrar.
Can someone teach me how to install rar files in my xda2? thanks
best should be to unpack the rar-files on your PC (with WinRAR), afterwards install the software (formerly in the rar-file)via Activesync.
If you have a cab-file in your former rar-file you might copy this directly on your PPC to install it directly from there (disadvantage on WM2003(SE)): will be installed into main memory, you have no choice to select your SD-Card when using this way)
thanks for the reply...btw, whats a cab file anyway? Im not really into this tech stuff
CAB files are similar to that of a ZIP/RAR file where you compress and store things into a single file. In the case of pocketpc, the CAB files are used as a SETUP.EXE , where is has all the necessary instructions and stuff to install the program. I guess.
thanks guys, You've been of great help. I was able to download winrar to open the rar files for installation.
done!
Open the exe with WinRAR.. I think that will do it for you.... you may even need to extract another exe within the top exe... the RUU_signed.nbh file should be 70-90M in size.

done! thanks everyone
Don't be lazy.
Run winrar by itself.
Search for the .exe file from winrar and open it.
You will see the .nbh files.

Make sure you change it to open "all files" from the open dialog box, not just the archive files.

Hello,
someone knows if it possible (and how) extract Wallpapers from the firmware downloaded with NaviFirm?
Thanks
I haven't explored the sync features in Zune yet - are you sure you can't get them through that??
Otherwise, .esco files can be opened like a normal zip. Look for the big .esco firmware file (around ~370MB) and extract the .img file from it. If you can read the contents of the .img file, I reckon you could get them...
THanks Tj,
no works...I found the big .esco, extracted the boot.img...and that file is "empty"...no Winzip no winrar no Dtools can how what's inside it...I wanna extract a carrier's wallpaper... :/

Hi all. Can an apk be extracted from an image file?
The image file is the .tar.md5 of the official UK ICS update from sammobile.
I've done a search and so far can't find how to do this.
Is it even possible?
There's a particular app in the UK version that's not in the US version I want to install
on my US 7510 wifi tab.
Thanks.
As I know, .tar files are archive file like zip. just for Linux. have you tried to open it with 7zip.?
I don't know if it works, but maybe.

Tried WinRar but doesn't get me into the tar file to see the apk's.
Will try 7zip.
Thanks!
