First of all, let me say this is a great forum -- keep up the good work!
Now for the question - It seems that whenever I try to download a zip file using my Tilt, it always comes back as corrupt, even though the download appears to complete successfully. Opening the file with the built in zip program gives an error message similar to "central directory was not found". Copying the file to my PC also yields a similar 'corrupt' error. If I download the file using my computer, there doesn't appear to be any issue.
I've noticed this on multiple download attempts from different locations, but I had chalked it up as just a problem with the zip file itself on the site.
Is there some cache tweak or something I'm missing here? I'm using KaiserTweak now with recommended settings, though this is a recent addition...I didn't install it until after I noticed these issues.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jaceson
I noticed this problem starting a few weeks back while I was using my 8525. It was also giving my an error for zip files using WinRar as well. When I tried downloading the same file on my PC everything worked fine.
I thought maybe you just couldn't unzip files with .Cabs in them on a PPC??? But it could be an issue with PIE.
Coincidence?
I wonder if it's a coincidence that we're both in Dallas. Dallas is a big place though...that couldn't possibly be what's going on here. Right?
Just thought I'd check in on this thread again. Any ideas guys?
If you have WinRaR installed go to Winrar settings and make sure that you have .zip files associated to the WinRAR application. This fixed my problem.
You can also go to Dutty's Cab collection sticky and download the MS Office cab collection I believe this has WinZip included.
I have the same problem on my kaiser no problems for a month then all of a sudden I can't download zips!?! the only thing I can think of is that I switched to att when I was with tmobile I had no problems. I don't have winzip but I do have pocketrar and changing the settings haven't helped me
im on att with medianet my email wasn't working either. I changed a few settings and now everything works fine so let me know if ur still having problems
i was having the same problem also. i thought it was an issue with the zip software on the tilt. so i downloaded pocketrar and use that now. everything works and i can download and extract zips no problem. i'd recommend pocketrar over the tilt zip program anyway, so give it a try.
Any solutions found
All, I have this very problem. Winrar doesn't make a diference either. The odd thing is that this only happens with zip files, cab files install fine. Furthermore the zips work fine if downloaded by Opera.

Hi,
I think you can try to recover the corrupt file, you may try Advanced Zip Repair at http://www.datanumen.com/azr/ This tool is rather useful in salvaging damaged Zip files. Hope this is useful.

I have the same problem, and have narrowed it down a bit. Same zip file from the same website will work if I'm connect through WiFi, but not a cell link (3G). No other changes made but the connection type (didn't even close pie). Still trying to get ahold of tech support at AT&T.
Just got off the phone with Tech support. They told me I can't download zip files with a cell link (edge or 3g) because of file size, It has to be done by WiFi.
I'm thinking that's bs.. I've downloaded uncompressed files bigger than that. trying to get ahold of someone else in Tech support.

Whenever I try to instal Cabs file, it give error...........The file cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file.........
These same cabs file were working fine till yesterday. Dont know what could have gone wrong. (Cingular 8125). I tried to browse to Extended ROM folder in Total Commander....but didnt delete any file there. However, when i again try to browse the Extended wrong, it shows many file names as garbage.
Otherwise my WIZARD is working fine. Activesync Apps are getting installed on my Wizard
Can someone guide me how i can get cabs files working again?
Error in Cabs Installation
Infact all the folders in 'Extended Rom' in Total Commander show names as junk characters. However, all file names are Ok.
So what are you trying to install and you say about the ext_rom!!! What file you trying to do?
Cabs Inst not working
I was just playing around and wanted to check if i can add new apps to Ext_ROM. I dont think i did any damage to it. But now i see that Cabs on my phone are not getting installed, and there are many folders in EXT_ROM, with junk names.

Did you cook your own Ext_rom??? Well if you did that means that it has been got damaged some how! I would flash it again and if you have the same problems i would go back to a pre cooked ext-rom and then try again!
I have loaded new ext rom. However, error still appears whenever I click to open a .cab file.
Any suggestions what I can do?
Hello all. Just got my phone on Orange and I like it. I have been a Mac-user for the past 12 years so I am used to not tweaking my gadgets. Can someone explain how I install the CABs onto my Kaiser via either my G5 iMac or my intel Macbook. Many thanks
do'h not very sure, but you might want to try the missing sync, grab the latest version, it now supports win5 and 6. basically that's what you need to synch your mac and PDA, but not very sure if you can install 'em through it though
Now how do I find the installed CAB
OK I have downloaded a CAB onto the Kaiser via Missing Sync. (HTC album mui 0419.cab) So how do I now find it on the phone and activate it or any other CAB?
Thanks again
not that hard
I get that you're new, I am too, but try to figure this stuff out by yourself.
Bluetooth should work for getting files onto the phone (my docs/bluetooth)
When you sync to the phone, the PC version is that you see the phone on the schema/folder tree and can choose where to put it.
When you find the cab file, opening it will install it. Generally try to put system specific things on main memory and things like games on a storage card.
Look at some must have threads to find programs that you like and after you figure it out try a hard reset and reinstall things. That will let you keep a stable device.
As for ROMS, I would be careful of even thinking about flashing on a mac unless you find a thread telling you how to do it, you don't want a bricked device.
Remember to search the forums - it's worth your time.
Just mount the kaiser with missing sync. After that, drag and drop the file to a location that you can remember. Once you do that, just go to the file explorer in the kaiser, locate the file, and click. You should be all set.
what about a non-cab files? with an .exe extension, will it be installable trough missing sync?
from what I can remember, Missing Sync is really broken at the moment. (under 10.5).
To install a cab, you just use the tab next to syncronize, what is it, the file tab or somehing?
if it's a .cab, it will be loaded automatically. But make sure there's no spaces/irregular characters on the .cab, otherwise, it won't load the installation, and possibly, the file will not be uploaded at all. I think this is a missing sync bug.
Nope, you're going to have to pull the .CAB out of the .EXE file

hi chenga, mind to point me how to do so? because i am going to lose my XP system very soon
Ive searched the forum for a couple of hours and i cant find a solution to my questions so i thought id create a new thread.
i have downloaded TomTom, i have the .cab file and the .exe file but neither seem to work.
when executing the .exe file i get to the window where it says 'modify, repair, delete' and then the programs closes. if i pick modify it asks me to do a soft reset, which i do and then nothing happens again after that.
when trying to install the .cab it says i need to update my rom version.
i have just flashed duttys 6.1 rom so wondering what could be the problem?
i have been trying to install tomtom for some time now and i would appreciate any help.
cheers
Hi
What .exe file r u talking about? You only need to copy the .cab file to your phone first, then run it from your phone. As for maps use tomtom HOME software...go to tomtom web site to get it..& install on your comp then use it to install the maps. There's a freebie small map to try though with tomtom if it's your first time using it.

The posted thread doesn't relate to the original problem. He can't install the tomtom software. Make sure you have version 6.032.8351 tomtom .cab
My tomtom works just fine.
as stated above my question is not answered, and yes i have searched for hours.
i have the 'Installer_Kaiser_ttn_6_032_8351_HTC_WWE_20070716' .exe file that someone posted on another thread somewhere on here but i cant seem to find it anymore...and i also have the 'ttn_6_032_8351_HTCWWE_Kaiser' .cab file...i know these are just two different types of installation, im just explaining that i have both, and im having trouble with both.
i know that you just put the .cab on the phone and it installs but i get the error message saying a rom needs to be updated.
and with the .exe file do i need to download anything extra before executing it from my pc?
thanks

OK let me clarify this. YOu have flashed dutty 6.1 ROM on your phone successfully correct? If so...
the posted .exe you don't need it..to install tomtom software
and the .cab file posted the name of it doesn't look right..
if you have an email address I can try to email the one I use for you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1942755
that link above is pretty interesting...never encountered that. Kill all apps that could be causing conflict. If that still doesn't work, try using another cab. I have WM 6.1 3.02 version and mine works totally fine.

Its a known issue and it doesn't matter what radio you are using. There is a fix, but it takes longer and is more of a hassle. First I don't know if you have signed up at MyTomTom.com yet or not, but you have to because the version that does work is not English speaking voices, so you will have to download an English voice. Go to the link in my signature under Programs, its called "Working TomTom", download it and install it to the device. If you need help getting the voices set up just let me know and I will walk you through it.
TYKDKobes finally got that installed. hopefully its better then the other navigation softwares I've tried so far.
Thanks will try this, finally got Nav 5 installed, but would like version 6 for newer maps. Sorry to be a bit thick, but do you mean to install the file I downloaded onto my device and the try to install Nav 6?

That CAB is TomTom Navigator 6. So just install it from your device.
Got it working, downloaded voices, Thanks heaps for you help!
In my signature is a link for all the free TomTom voices instead of trying to find them all. Just download the Zip file and extract it to your computer. You will need to REPLACE your current "voices" folder with this one. For instance my TomTom is installed on my Device, under Programs, Navigation, and in that folder you will see another folder called "voices" that is where TomTom stores its voices. All you are doing is taking the one you downloaded and replacing it with the old one. **this will replace any current downloaded voices**
"the zip file is located under cabs"
will install and test the application.
thanks

Hi, can you help me, I'm trying to install Tomtom 6 to my HTC cruise. I keep getting the message to update my ROM, I tried to follow the advice in this thread, but have failed. Can you walk me through it? Cheers
what is the speed of tomtom like on your device mate? mine is painful, screen refreshes every 1.5 seconds, whereas i get 15fps on another sat nav program (which actually holds reception better than tomtom too!)
TomTom support were helpful, told me to hard reset and try again. I think its a software issue with 6.032.
The other sat nav programs arem much more graphic intensive too, so i doubt its the graphics drivers.

Which version of TomTom did you download and install. Usually that error appears when you download the TomTomWWE(World Wide English). The one you need to download and install if you get that error is the Working TomTom CAB which can be found in my signature under CABS, Programs. Should work then.
how do I install the program from you're cab to my HTC cruise? I'm a bit of a novice at this, sorry.
Download the cab file to your computer, and copy it to your Device or Storage Card. Remember where you place the cab file because you will need to open it from you Phone using File Explorer. Now navigate to the file and click on it. It will automatically start to install, usually it will ask you to install to the Device or Storage Card, but this CAB will just install to the Device.
when I do this I get a message 'there is no application associated with..' run the application first, I can't get the tomtom application off my CD? sorry for being such a pain. Thanks for you're help.

Check your GPS speed in TomTom.
Go > Change Preferences > Show GPS Status > Configure > Oter NMEA GPS receiver > GPS baud rate > COM4
The GPS baud rate should be between 4800 and 9600, if its too fast mine exhibits the jerkiness as described in your post.

Kinda confused now. What do you mean you cant get the application off your cd? If you have downloaded the cab then you dont need the CD. After moving the cab to your phone go open it, by using your phones file explorer program(single click or double click) should automatically install itself. have you made it to that point?
This is also a great resource to TomTom 6 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330235
I downloaded the cab files from you're signature and then had a list of files which weren't associated with any program (they had the generic icon next to them) I then put all these files on my micro SD and put in my phone. I then went to these files on my phone using file explorer and there was still a list of generic icons. Maybe I did something wrong in the download. I downloaded with winRAR and extracted all the files to a folder on my desktop. I really appreciate you helping me, thank you.

No these files dont get extracted before moving to your phone. When downloaded the file should be a blue file folder icon called a .CAB. Once downloaded take that exact file and move it to your phone. Here is the link to the cab http://www.4shared.com/file/47123724/832a2d34/Working_TomTom.html

Hi,
Im quite new on this HTC phones.
I have a problem, I dont know how to install software on the diamond.
It opens the files in Opera but it will not start the installation.
Do I have to have any program to install programs on the phone?
I have been trying to install tomtom 7 but it will not work.
Best regards,
Martin
Look on the internet for a cab file of TT7 copy and paste this in your internall storage in the map programmables. Disconnect phone from usb go to the place where you put it and run it from there.
This should work probably.
Grtzzz
I have the same problem too, but only happened while installing .cab file.
Anyone can help? Thanks a lot.
It dosent work.
I found the file here on the forum, I did active sync with my computer, I took the file, moved it the the 4g internal storage of the phone.
I tryed to start it but nothing happens.
Thats the problem i have, it seems that my phone dont want to start the cab files.
Should I just click the file or should I do something else?
Normaly just clicking is enough.
Sorry but are you shure its a cab file its not rarred or zipped.
Have you allready installed other programs this way?
For cab files i do not use activesync to put them on the device i simply do it in storage mode.
Grtzzzz
I found the way, I had to make a soft reset. Then it worked!
