Hard Reset then redo. Or put it back to the original RUU deal then try it again.

It's not seeing the files that it calls for within that batch file. Where do you have your files stored?
what rom are you trying to flash?
I know with PDAVIET you have to aserg twice and soft reset after each.
Also, IT IS IMPERATIVE that you flash over an RUU.
as far as "ivanmmj's" comment goes..lets see where am i stashing the files..after it opens up using WINRAR i just use the directory right from WINRAR im not actually moving the files onto my hard drive....
I am was trying to install the ITOUCH FINAL V2 blah blah blah...
I installed the 5 button setup and the overclocking program with the battery indicator..
i got everything to work that just involves moving CAB files over..obviously a simple thing that doenst need a page long thread to explain how to install..
I still need help..im following directions but like ivanmmj said its not reading the files ..still need help LOL

There's your problem. You need to unrar the files to a directory. Then open a command prompt and run the batch file from that directory.
Going through some posts in the blackstone forum I discovered an interesting thread by Sir.B...
He talked about an old trick used for older devices to fit WM6 onto them with the side effect that load times of applications is much faster and tried this on his Blackstone.
I just gave it a try and it's impressive. So far I only tried it on HTC Album and Navigon Mobile Navigator 7:
HTC Album now loads in about 1 sec (previously about 4-5 sec)
Navigon MN 7 loads in about 2 sec (previously about 6-9 sec)
Seems to work flawless on any WM Device ;-)
I'm loving it!!!
Many thanks to Sir.B and everyone else at XDA-DEV!
I attached version 1.1 (which worked fine for me); 1.0 can be found on the original post.
Here's the quote and the link to the original post...
Sir.B said:
this is an old trick that was/is used for older devices to fit WinMo 6 on them
but a side effect is faster application load times
i figured i'd try it on the Blackstone and difference is noticeable
HTCAlbum loads in about 1 Second, before it took about 4
so i'm sharing this with anyone who is interested
The batch file is kept as simple as possible for everyone's ease of use
but this is pretty advanced tweaking, so all common warnings apply
and/or
if you are not comfortable with getting files from/to your PocketPC
and/or
can't figure out how to extract this zip and read the "read me.txt"
and/or
don't know what “any key” is DO NOT TRY THIS!
(read the forum and the wiki a bit more, and you'll gain the knowledge)
Version History:
v 1.0 - initial release
v 1.1 - no icon compression switch added to the batch, for more general compatability

I compressed with the above methode 105 .exe files of the windows folder (of a htc diamond). I compressed every exe file that i found in windows. I deleted all that had 0 kb file size as probably those files does not compressed corectly or something is wrong. So the exe files that left, was 105 exe files. I puted all those to windows folder ,overwriting the originals . I saved 15 Mb or more of space, the phone was extremely fast ,but cant run manila. I try to find which of the files must changed to the originals to run manila. I am sure it must be 2 or 3 files , but how can i find which 2-3 of the 105 files must be changed?
If i make it , i will give the full list of files that can be changed to earn max space and max speed
I compressed 104 files of windows folder without problem!
So i found the file that caused problem and manila didn't start. It was _mpman.exe By changing all the 104 others , no problem until now. I giving all the list with the 104 files of window folder of a diamond running manila 2.0.3 if anyone else want to try. Here is the list :

This works really well on my Verizon TP, but when I did it on all the .exe's in the Windows directory, it messed up the HTC volume control program. I'm not sure which .exe it was but afterwards, when I hit the volume up/down hard keys, only the Windows volume pop-up would come up. I've had to do a hard reset to get it back.
I agree that a list of .exe's that it works well on would be really helpful.
My 2 cents
Hi, I think it's a bit useless to do all exe files: If you compress a 16 Kb exe file to 12 Kb the loading time will not make a huge difference. Also, after two or three reads from the storage memory the program should actually be cached in memory assuming that you have made the cache performance tweaks. Furthermore this seems only sensible for exes that you use often; why would you want to do "ClearStorage.exe" which basically does the hard-reset from the control panel?
The big performance gain and space safe comes from large exe files that are cut to about 1/3 in size. Here it does make a huge difference. I am currently trying and running:
Opera9.exe and OperaL.exe << Edited after comments of PierreDiamond which is very right to leave the Pre alone.
Googlemaps.exe
HTCAlbum.exe
Camera.exe
HTC_GPStool.exe
TomTomNavigator.exe
ScummVM*.exe
The biggest effects were seen with Opera (6MB), Tomtom (7MB) and ScummVM (4.5 MB)(!!! : -) ). For Camera.exe and HTC_Album.exe I am not 100% confident that I am going to keep these. The speed gain is very little, and it does seem to affect the Manilla stability a little bit when more stuff is running. However I am not sure whether this is fully related to compressing the programs. So for now I am still trying.
Another thing I noticed is that it does not like exe programs which are still linking to outside files / sources such as 3.5 Net. An example of this is the Lightsaber program (Saber.exe).
I tried with some prog (MP3Trimmer, Powerpoint, Opera, Acrobat Reader)
Works great! But NOT for Opera! Because there's a OperaPre which launch Opera after SoftReset while Boot... and it seems to be, that the driver for decompress needs much time to load and needs additional RAM when its needed while boot. I had a CPU consumption around 6 % more.
Also - never pack something which is started automatically after soft reset. The other programms like Acrobat Reader or Powerpoint - everthing's fine and are really a little bit faster to start and less need in main storage.
Thanks for this Tweak

Why did you do a hard reset? Squeezer makes a backup of the original file in the folder "2_Backup". Therefore you could just copy those back to the device.
maybe I better ask this question here:
i tried this method and copied the file in to the windows folter with total commander - over active-sync I could not overwrite the files. But now even less space is available..
aand.. when i copied all the files it asked me only about 5 times if i wanted to overwrite this file... so my explanation is that these are files which are stored in the rom.. so they got not overwritten but only doubled...
is this possible? and what can I do about it?
=> the problem is of course the data-memory and not the programm-memory
=> it really seems that the files are doubled...
the part of compressing exe at the PC gone well but i can't copy/paste the compressed exe back at touch pro , original files place is windows...i think this folder is a ROM folder...help.....please...

It should work with Total Commander. The files should not be doubled, but overwritten. Therefore overall storage (data memory) should decrease.
If I'm not mistaken (please correct me If I am) ROM storage for extended ROM etc. and data memory (flash chip) / programm memory (RAM) is separated. (?)
you can copy the apps with activesync but if you wanna put them back into the windows folder then your going to need totalcommander
I did copy it with total commander.. and it only overwrote about 5 exe files.. the others where doubled (I tested it - I deleted one of the exe files... and when the list reloaded the file was there again - but there was no error)..
do I have to use special settings in total commander?
Any chance to improve the tool so it has a list of known-NOT-to-work-after-compression EXEs?
It would be more foolproof as it would skip the problematic files automatically.
Edit: actually I might do it myself, I know how I can code this.
That would be a great addition!

Same here. I've actually lost some space, after copying the compressed .exe files to Windows dir using Total Commander. The file sizes of new files are correct and smaller than before...
It seems like it keeps backup copies of the replaced files somewhere?
Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493628 is a method for compressing the .exe files of the phone. I successfully have compressed 104 .exe files of windows folder . By doing this, every program run faster (smaller loading times) and you save space because every program is smaller . I earn about 12 mb. Untill now everything seems to work ok. This is the list of the 104 .exe files of windows that i successfully have compressed. The phone has been extremely fast. If you want to try it , do it on your own risk..

Intersting concept, i assume the speed gain is from the extra memory?
Is there a downside to this? Do the compressed applications take longer to load when you wish to use them as the device would have to decompress the file before using it?
And what method have you used for compressing?
Interesting
Yea this does seem interesting.
I'm gonna watch this one.
i can't see how compressing the files could make the device faster though, 12 of storage is nothing, you would need system memoryto make the device run faster???
if the files where to be compressed and still be able to execute with out a decompressing of the files then hay thats cool, but im not sure if thats possible.
The phone IS faster when you press some things. My english isn't good enough to describe it but , many things are faster. It is not my imagination . For example camera is loading faster i think, and when i press start-settings-system , it opens almost immediately. First it needed some seconds. I believe that the loading times are smaller because files are smaller , and the reading time is not the best by the storage memory used by the phone. By making files smaller , loading times are better even though the files are compressed . I am not sure for the theory but the phone works better. Look and at the link i gave. I only posted here so you know about the link. Also you earn storage space without loosing anything!
i did the same some time ago. i also compressed dll-files. now the diamond IS FASTER.
i used "upx mobile". try it yourself.

i tried to move the packed files back to the diamond, but its nearly impossible....
the file listing is slow, i cant move them back because the diamond doubled the files, it doesnt ask to overwrite...
i tried it with total commander
so now i copied all files to \windows\
and now i have only 1mb of space free.....................
something must have gone wrong...
can someone please post a guide how to copy the packed files back to the diamond
€dit: so now ive rebooeted the diamond, and its very fast and i have 3mb of storage free now, but its not enough... something is wrong
hi
today i tried this method, too. packing was no brob, but copying back compressed files into windows folder failed with nearly every file of 105 because of displayed write protect error message. only 2 or 3 files worked in the end.
also i compressed tomtom.exe. but after that loading time did not increase. was more the other way arround!
in the end i replaced all compressed files by originals again...

I imagine you only had 3mb of storage left because the files you were trying to overwrite were stored in ROM...which you cann't overwrite. Instead Windows stores your new compressed version in storage. Effectively you have two copies of each of those files on your device; 1 copy in ROM and 1 copy in storage. This technique for compressing exe's is probably only useful for new applications installed on your device (like Opera & TomTom) or if you were to cook a new ROM with the compressed exes.
Error
This sounds great! But i get this, when trying to compress: upx: 3_Compressed\MobileCalculator.exe: CantPackException: .NET files (win32/net) are not yet supported.
Any idea?
Edit: hmm.. i only get the error with these files for now: MobileCalculator.exe, tdsserver.exe, WelcomeCenter.exe, AdvancedConfig.exe...
Other .exe's compress just fine..
I have just bought a HTC Diamond. I am new to the world of Windows Mobile.
So far the phone is great! I love it.
I have noticed you can download lots of apps and tweaks.
I want just wondering how to instal these programs on the phone.
I have downloaded a few games, Unzipped and copied over the files to the phone. It recognioses one of the games with a '.cab' format and it installed, but the rest are .xml.
Any pointers, tips and hints for this phone?
Cheers
the program you use to extract compressed files identifies cab files as compressed. All you need to do is copy the cab files to your phone and run the file from there. If you try to extract a cab file, you'll get those xml files you talked about.
1. Copy cab to phone
2. Run cab from phone to install the program
good luck

Hi - my first post!
You mention .cab files... I expect this applies to .exe's as well (for example, hot fixes)???
Any particular folder(s) on the phone we should be copying these files to before running them? I tried to install a hot fix today, but after running the .exe and receiving a 'success' message, the phone restarts OK, but the fix does not appear to have worked.
all exe install's for pocketpc's are pc exe files which have to be run
on the pc and then it use activesync to transfer the cab file to the
pocketpc and run it there

Thanks for the response.
Unfortunately, running the exe on my PC (Win Vista) doesn't seem to work.
Error: "{C:\filepath\filename.exe} is not a valid Win32 application."
Any ideas? I'm a complete newb at this so have exhausted my very limited list of possible ideas...
some people don't distribute their apps with installers so it could
just be the program itself
in which case you have to execute it on the pocketpc
this of cause mean that it will not put a shortcut to the exe
in your programs thats just something you have
to do manualy with a program like total commander
which you can also use to browse to where you put the
exe file and execute it to start the program

OK thanks - I already tried running the exe straight from my Diamond, and although it appeared to work correctly, the hotfix didn't actually fix what it claimed to. Not to worry, I'm still learning all this stuff (only had my Diamond for a day and a half now... ).
Hi,
I just spent the past 3 hours downloading Rodriguez' MIUI mod on my computer because my connection is so slow. I usually download ROMS straight from my phone.
This time however, about an hour in, I realised that OSX Safari will unzip the ROM as soon as it finishes downloading automatically. I got into Preferences>General and change that setting, but it seems as though it didn't come into effect because I changed the setting whilst the download was in progress.
Anyway, is there any other way I can compress the ROM (which is now a folder) through any terminal commands either on the phone or on the computer?
I've already tried compressing it normally like any other folder with MM's Gingerbread ROM I downloaded yesterday. When I flashed it, I bootlooped so....
Oh and I can't download it again. I'm on the brink of going over my bandwidth allowance.
Thanks!
Well, You can use WinRAR like application for MAC (I Don't use OS X) so cant specify.
Select all the files and compress it to zip! Done!
Donate to me by clicking the Thanks if I helped you!
In theory, it would just be to compress it normally with the use of any archiver program which compresses to a .zip file. Not too familiar with OS X, so I cannot guide you into what program you'll need and how to do.
You need to re-compress the ROM files and sign the ZIP.

Signapk? But i think signing a rom is not neccesary anymore... Just turn off signature verification in recovery or use 4ext
I have had the same situation. Safari extracted the file automatically.
After waiting for 3 hours until the download completed, because the website is restricting my download speed to 100 kb/s.
I tried zipping and compressing the file both by a Windows system and a Mac. IT DID NOT WORK.
I have to download the file again.
