u have to connect your xda to your pc with microsoft activsync 3.5
unzip the file then copy them into xda ,click on the sutup file
then system wil ask u to soft rest/restart and thets it
Just copy the *.cab file (containing 3 files) to your XDA and run it from there. (double click on the *.cab file while using the explorer of the XDA)

please guest could you tell me how to get the sms message up
please email me at [email protected]
- Unpack the compressed file on your PC (if you have a ".zip" file), you should end-up with a file with a ".cab" extension.
- Now transfer this file to your device with ActiveSync, don't worry about the directorie, just put it on the device.
- Now, on your device, find the ".cab" file using the file explorer.
- Double click the ".cab" file, it should install itself.
- After this you can delete the ".cab" file but don't be surprized if it is allready gone, that is normal.
Now it should work!
I emailed you the file + the instructions
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.
I am using Sony xperia S without any major problem.
But facing little problem after reset to factory settings or firmware repaired by P C companion . I back up my contacts,messages, Bookmarks and Settings using P C Companion There was no error or problems during the backup process.
After updating firmware When I tried to restore my data. It always shows that 'data restore failed'.
PC Companion has stored a ".dbk" file on my PC. But PC companion failed to restore my data to my SXS. I used both Windows 7 and XP but failed to get back my data.
Sony also aware this problem see this link-
http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35170
If anyone also facing this problem please share your experiences in this thread.
That happened to me too...
I tried everything and there is no solution...can't find any help on internet...sony support is useless in this matter...they don't even know why this happens!
Hope some solution comes out soon cause I lost a lot of important stuff like meeting, SMS, contacts...
1st yellow tint...then yellow white, micro and ear sound issues, now this...thanks a lot Sony...you are really doing it right
PS - I'm using this app now for backing-up and restore:
http://www.elita-clan.com/downloads/...re_v010935.apk
It is very easy to use and it works fine on my XPS
Solution
Hey there!
I had the same problem (just wanted to retrieve my Contacts) and managed to get them. In the following I will explain how. This method probably works with backups from other mobiles made with Sony PC Companion too.
I got the same problem (also only fullbackupdata), after rooting my mobile and not thinking of the problem, that it might not be able to restore the contacts.
Here's what I found out: I couldn't find anything with Google, so I decided to just look at the data of the file. It starts with:
ANDROID BACKUP
1
1
none
I did some Googeling again and found out, that it is the same file like an ICs created adb backup.
I also found a project to retrieve Data from backups: ht tp s: //github.c om/nelenkov/android-backup-extractor
HOW YOU CAN RESTORE YOUR DATA:
Get your Fullbackupdata-Contactfile.
1. First go to your backupfile: (C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\Sony\Sony PC Companion\SomeNameDependsOnLanguage\
2. Make a Copy of your backup-File (crtl+c, crtl+v)
3. We want to change the file extension, so make sure you see it. If you don't see a .dbk at the end of your file, go in the explorer window in the left upper corner on organise -> Folder and search options. Change to view and then deselect "Hide extensions for known File types"
ht tp://kb.winzip.com/kb_upload/image/folder_options2.png
4. Rename (F2) the file to backup.zip
5. Open the zip with 7zip or something similar.
6. Navigate to Applications\com.sonyericsson.android.contactsimport and get the fullbackupdata file which is lying in this folder.
7. Put this file on your Desktop.
8.Download this jar-File: ht tp: //ge.t t/64TJmne/v/0?c
9. Put the .jarFile also on your desktop.
10. Doubleclick the .jar-File. After a few seconds a new file with the name "restore.tar" should show up (If not check if your fullbackupdata-File really has the name "fullbackupdata" and is on the desktop)
11. Open the .tarfile with 7Zip
12. Navigate to restore.tar\apps\com.sonyericsson.android.contactsimport\f\
13. Copy full_backup_vcard.vcf to the Desktop.
If everything worked you're finished, you can open this .vcf File via Windows-contacts -> import or put it directly on your phone and import it there (open Contacts. Settingsbutton -> impot)
If you don't trust my .jar file, you can also download the github-project follow their orders and compile it yourself.
I hope this helped also other people. It took me quite a while, so I thought I should share my solution.

Hm seems like you have an other phone configuration than me...
I tested it with Sony Xperia Go with android Version 4.0.4.
Try googeling in which directory your Contacts are stored, than open with my jar file this file and you should be good to go.
If you don't find anything, you can also write your model and I try to find a solution... best you email me, I'm not sure when I will get o this forum (send (at) johannesdeml.com)
@stricler:
Do you have Java istalled? Are both files in the same directory (my .jar-File and your fullbackupdata file (which also has this name))?
If you can't manage to do it, you could also send me your file if you want to ( send (at) johannesdeml.com).
My jar File should still work, got a lot of positive feedback here: talk.sonymobile .com/thread/51298?start=10&tstart=0
com.sonyericsson.android.socialphonebook folder

I had the same problem, here's the solution:
in step 6 instead of navigating to Applications\com.sonyericsson.android.contactsimport you should go to Application\com.sonyericsson.android.socialphonebook and get the fullbackupdata file from there.
I followed the steps. but on clicking on the jar app, my nokia suite opens up! :/
Johannski You are Awesome.
Thanks brother for all your help. All my contacts restored...!!
Thank You:angel::angel:

Well that is not a lot of information. Probably you have a problem with your java installation. Try to run the program with the commandline to get more information. Therefore run the command "java -jar restoreData.jar" in the folder where the jar lies.
Hello all. I recently bought Final Fantasy IV and was disappointed to find there was no language setting in the game that I could find. Ideally, I would like to play with Japanese audio and English subtitles. Launching normally under USA locale plays English vocals and subtitles. I was afraid that the Play store variant would only come with English audio, but I found by changing my Nexus 7 language settings to Japanese, that it would in fact contain and play with JP audio and JP subtitles. I can't understand why , this being the case that there isn't an easy in application language switching option that I can see.
All the components are there. Does anyone know how I could somehow edit the files to play JP audio and English subs? Copy the JP audio track to the English version of the game seems the most straightforward , if I could figure a way to do it. Anyone have ideas for this process? Programs I will need to unpack the apk or game data and edit what needs to be etc...? Thanks.
To th ebest of my knowledge, it appears that I'll probably need to unpack the .obb file somehow. The .apk is small. Does anyone know of an suitable utilities to unpack and repack/sign if need be .obb an/o .apk firles?
I've seen a few posts on the forum suggesting that I simply rename the .obb to .zip, .rar etc... and it will simply be able to be extracted. Sadly, this doesn't seem to be the case. I've been attempting to use 7zip to extract the archive with a number of renamed file types and every time it claims that it doesn't seem to be a valid archive etc.... Others have suggested 7zip works for this in other cases, but I'm not sure why it is failing now. Do I need to use a specific program to see if it is a valid archive?
Edit: I also tried with WinRAR and to no effect - the same problem where it reports that there is no archive present etc...
At the moment I'm trying this with an edited/sideload ready version of FFIV 1.2.3 (which has both the .apk file of a few megabytes and the .obb of a few hundred megabytes), at least until I can pull the exact copy off my device. I'd really appreciate any insight. What do I need to open/extract the .obb and why is it not appearing with 7zip? Thanks.
I'm going to try and get another copy of the files from another source (pulled directly from my Nexus 7 or Nexus 4) onto my Windows PC etc...

Huh... I'm not sure how to help you too. Just a simple beginner. But using .zip or .rar worked for me. Just that the file names were all long and weird. Also, every file appears as a .file extension

Hi,
did you tried to open *.obb using "jobb" application from Android SDK?
Hello all!
I've a few questions and maybe you guys can help me: I want to translate an Android Chinese Game and right now I can only open a *.rc2 file (with notepad++) that I found with a group of players of that game. The problem is that the game still has some other rc2 files, assetbundles and xml files that I can't open. So my questions are:
- How can I extract the assetbundles? I found the Assets Bundle Extractor (UABE) application but every time I try to extract a file, my PC restarts (my rig: i5 haswell, 8gb ram, GPU R9 200x series). Is there any other option to extract those files?
- Is there something that I can do to convert or decompile rc2 files so I can open and edit it?
- I can't open some of the XML files with Notepad++, do I need to convert it to text first? If yes, is there any app that I can use to do that?
(I get the .apk and followed one Youtube tutorial called "Get source Code(Java and XML) from android APK"but all I got were *.smali files).
I know that those questions are very newbie, but I'll appreciate any help.
Thank you.
