Ok. I'm new to the tilt and this is the first program i have downloaded onto the phone. I downloaded to my computer, unzipped, copied and pasted to my phone and all I have is the programing (just the O's and arrows). What am I doing wrong??? Thanks for taking the time for a beginner!
can you give details,what you did,what u are using, what u want to accomplish
you prolly copied the contents of a .cab file
cab files are to be copied to the PPC directly and distalled from there
or you might have a corrupt SD (highly unlikely)
I'm all for helping but....

the cab file is a simple way you install an app on your device. Just click on the cab and it should begin installation. Pay attention to where you are sending the cab on your device so that it is easy to find and just click and install. A Zip file is a compressed file or files. You must uncompress before you can install the cab. sometimes you will find the cab file inside the compressed zip file. Another format for compression is rar files. I use winrar to uncompress to desktop.
I strongly suggest that you read this forum as much as possible to learn as much as you can. Read the FAQ's and the WIKI. Also do research on your particular phone to learn its strenghts and weaknesses. There is lots to learn and you will have to do lots and lots and lots of reading. Don't get discouraged, just keep reading. There is a wonderful search feature as well to search for specific things. It takes a little getting use to; however, once you figure it out - how to use it efficiently, you will find things - answers - really easily. Some threads are really long and you will probably want to skip right to the end of the thread. _ Don't. Read the whole thread before posting. Some members get really frustrated with new commers who don't read before asking questions.
Good luck, have fun and remember - READ

Hi all, can anyone help me with the software name SASHIMI?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392983
I didn't want to ask in there, because most of my questions are pretty basic and sound dump to others
Anyway, as I understand from the video tutorial (which is still confusing for me), All I have to do is add all the CAB file I want the software to install in the "CAB" folder and all the registries in the REG folder. Then I have to create a filebackup.ini to tell the soft what I've backup.
- My question for this is how do I know which registry to backup and where they are. Let's say I have an APP1.cab to install and that APP1.cab need to be register... where do I find APP1 registration information?
Once the registries are found, all I have to do is to add the CAB in the CAB folder and its registries in the REG folder, right? Then when come to restore, I have to restore each CAB and each Reg or it will do by itself due to my filebackup.ini?
Try posting to benghali's sashimi thread. He's a great help and quick with answering your questions.
Don't feel bad, I was confused too and finally decided not to even install it.
Responding here because OP sent me a PM.
In the future please post in the thread because all questions will be answered and it is ALWAYS better to post in the original thread then to start a new one.
The questions you are asking have actually been asked at least 3 or 4 times already and are in that thread.
In addition, your questions about where to put the .REG file are covered in the documentation.
Because I'm in a good mood, I will quickly answer here.
1) I can't tell you where the registry entries are stored for your program...that is different for each program. Use a registry export and compare before and after.
2) Once you have the .reg file with your entries you can either put it in the \REG folder or you can name it the same as the .CAB and put it with the .CAB file. This is called Tandem/Bundling and is covered more in the documenation.
Please post additional questions in the main thread.
Mods can lock this one.
thanks
thank you... please lock this post
REG files
Hi All,
I hope nobody shoots me for asking and tells me to do a search. I'm a bit in a hurry right now, so i'm just typing quickly.
How can I create or obtain the REG files for the different applications I install?
Resco Explorer, iSilo, pocket player, pocket artist, SPB Plus, SPB backup, SPB wallet, etc. I want to place the REG files in sashimi so that they automatically get registered and so that I don't have to manually apply the serial numbers. Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance, if no one wants to sit here and give step by step instructions i will understand, but atleast a link to the correct thread would be helpfull.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
I have no idea how to use sashimi to install and register my applications. Well I do know, I just don't know how to get working REG files. Do I have to create them? or do I get them from some directory. I've seen most of the videos already.
If there is another forum with info, please direct me to the right thread, I tried doing a search and besides this thread I didn't find anything.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, confused you for the OP.

I understand, No Problem. I'll edit my post so no one else has to read the small missunderstanding.
I would still appreciate some help with the REG files. How can I get them or create them so that sashimi can apply the serial numbers after installing my applications?

I've had my at&t tilt for almost a year now and I've been using the default theme.
Today I saw some TouchFlo themes and they look so sweet and I've been trying to get it on my phone all day.
First off, I completely suck at any programming so this is probably why I need help
I downloaded the file and extracted it to my phone, now I don't exactly know how to install it on my phone. There's a setup that when i click on it, it shows a bunch of code things for example: - <wap-provisioningdoc> - <characteristic type="Install"> are the first two lines and they go on for so long.
I don't know if i need to put any other software on my phone that will read that setup differently, or I'm suppose to do something else?
Please help, and thank you for your time.
Pictures is what I have, and what I'm trying to get:
Bump ^
do you have TouchFlo Manilla 2D installed on your device ?????????
If not you need it to run the manilla themes you have pictured.
before you ask where to find it..................the answer is use SEARCH.
Or just look at the sticky at the top of this forum
I downloaded it from this link:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mkxonf7smhx
first I put it on my computer, then hooked up my phone to my computer and copied it to it. Not sure if it's supposed to go somewhere specific, I just put it under my documents.
here's a picture of what the folder looks like if it's correct
So basically from what I've been reading is how do I actually Install it on my phone, I copied the downloaded .zip onto my phone which contains a Setup, but that Setup seems to be doing nothing. I think I'm missing something else needed to install it.
by any chance is it a ".cab" format?
if so, DO NOT open with winzip.
just copy to phone and click it to install.
EDIT: yeah it a .cab
hmm, I used winRAR to extract the files i downloaded onto my computer first, then I copied them over to my phone.
Should I not extract it at all and just put it straight to my phone? and also, I've been reading a lot about .cab files, and nothing is saying it's .cab...lol i'm just completely lost
oh lawlz, i think i figured it out.
Ya i was extracting it before,
this time i copied the file directly
to my phone and i can install it
Hello!
My question is: how can I extract for eg. programs .cab files from .image or .nbh ROM?
I want to get original Mobile Opera 9.5 from R2AA UK Generic ROM, because some other version of opera overwritten it and I don't want it - just need original one back.
Check this thread in Development and Hacking, a tool to view files inside nbh ROM files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377514
Thanks! It helped. Is it also a way of cooking a new custom rom?
Edit:
I exported the file... but its "hidden" without option to make it visible. How to make it normally visible?
I'd really kick back, make yourself a couple of weeks worth of coffee and read, read read and then read some more.
There's quite a lot in the wiki on how to cook roms, which serves as a good start but to do it properly it will help to know some of the background to what you're doing.
Hence the reading.
FWIW I've just started playing with ervius visual multilang kitchen, it's quite nice, much better than some of the others. Do a search on it if you want to find it and try visualkitchen_v2_1
Of course it's a bit worrying that you want to cook your own roms, without knowing what's inside the one you're using.
IF you want the opera from r2aa and you're using a stock unmodified R2aa then look in windows (using a proper file explorer such total commander)
or use the search on here, as the one I posted has been linked a huge amount of times already, including 3 times in the past 2 days. .

Big folder (or series of folders) on the SD card with a text doc listing what does what. that's what I do..
I think that's what I need...
Can someone please direct me to the download link for the Update Utility. The one I want has a folder with lots of files in it... you drop the .nbh file in the folder run the .exe and away you go.
Thanks!

Depends what you want...
SE Update Facility does the de-facto updates for you.
If you're thinking of loading a custom ROM then you'll need Hard SPL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
and then you can get the RUU utility from here (although if you are using Hard SPL you can just put the NBH file in the root directory of your SD card and load if that way):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446070
Never hurts to use the Search facility rather than adding another thread... that's what its there for
Thanks for this. I always search thoroughly before posting. It was a specific thing I couldnt find. Fount it now though. Kovsky...
X1_CustomRUU.exe is a lot easier to use. It's one file which extracts to all the files you probably have now, and then runs RUU.exe. Result is the same, but then in one file. You can find it here
