I'm just starting to get into the depths of my PDA2K and this site is GREAT!!!!!!! Since I'm just one step up from "The Village Idiot", I have a couple questions for all you pros.
After reading about using the extended ROM, and unlocking it and seeing what's in there, I think I've figured it out. Whatever CABs are listed in the config file will be installed upon a hard reset....correct? If true, and since I have only 3.5MB left in Ex ROM, can I put the other CABs I wanted installed in say /storage/CABs, list them in the config file and upon a hard reset they will be installed? Is there any reason to put them into Extended ROM rather than Storage? Is it alright to put CABs in from like games, Resco Explorer, WebIS Mail, etc.? Lastly is there a way to set the programs up where I don't have to go back and enter all the registration numbers again?
Thanks a ton for your help!!!

In extended rom they are not taking up your precious storage space on the device.

is it possible then to keep the installation cabs on storage card,
and also, can that path be set in the config file in ext rom?
what happens if a particular cab is not found after hard reset?
is the installation stuck or it just gives a warning and keeps on going to the next cab listed in the list.
Have a read of this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=83119#83119
It might be a bit to deep but should help you along the way.
1) You can keep a cab anywere you want
2) make sure your cab is read only as it can delete itsself after install.
3) to run a auto install from a differnet storage place you need to hack the reg (see thread).
In all if you have a sd card you could leave your EXt rom empty.
Hack the reg to the new postion and run the Autorun from there.
Have fun
Thanks for all the infor everyone! From what I've read in other threads I need to make sure that TPdisabled is set to off so that when programs like WebIS Mail and SplashID get installed I can touch the screen to make sure they install into the right place and other things. Correct? If this is correct, should I just remove TPdisabled all together?
Thanks again,
Tom
TPdisabled can't be set off, its either run or not run. So dump it and you wont have a problem
MDAIIIUser - Thanks for the link! I looked at it and you're right, it's pretty indepth and I'll have to read it more closely at a later time....like at work.
Question1: leochan2005 had a follow-up saying "why not use backup"? While I agree this would be easier, I'm assuming that by using your method one would get a much "cleaner" install than backing up all the crap that was on the system prior to the hard reset...correct?
Question2: It took me a long time to get my TMo settings setup on my PDA2K and I don't want to go thru that again. Is there a way to backup those settings so that they can be auto-configured at a later time? I read about making a personalsettings.CAB but haven't done it yet.
Thanks,
Tom

Thanks! I take it it should be at the beginning of the config file so that I can access it. Correct?
q1)
Well the short of "why not use backup" is you can if you feel that:
1) Restoring Regedit values from a lower rom version
2) Restoring system applications form a lower rom version such as BT
are called for, wanted or even needed.
I fail to see that point as a upgrade is an upgrade and a backup is a backup. Now you could do a restore of your system data also (which you could also sync and that would be clean
Q2)
Most fo those settings are part of T-mobile.cabs found in Extrom, the rest would have been reg entries that you are going to have to hunt for and copy.
So sorry no way around reading the other thread (personalsettings.CAB)
MDAIIIUser - Maybe I should state what I'm trying to accomplish and you could give me a clue as to how to do it. A couple days ago I upgraded by BT on my PDA2K (generic from Expansys) to 1.0.0.3900 (or what ever the latest is) and I'm currently looking at upgrading my radio to 1.12, but that would require a hard reset. I'm not in the mood to go thru all the program installs and SMS/MMS tweaking again, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to get all my programs and configurations back after the hard reset. I thought by incorporating the personalsettings.cab (for my Tmo settings) and your method I would be up and running pretty quickly. Yes? I have Sprite Backup, but I'm not sure if that's going to overwrite anything after the radio upgrade????
Thoughts?
Thanks!
Well my logic (that could be wrong) would say that a restore of your backup would get you to were you are now.
That you would need a restore as you have to do a hard reset after the 1.12 radion install.
But I can't answer the question will the radio be restored as well,
I don't know, I don't know the settings in the backup application, so am sorry I will have to let somebody else answer this one.

Follow Kireol's advice and move cab file to the device (then disconnect from PC) and use FILE Explorer to find it and then tap it to install.

do you think AT&T is trying to keep a brother down ?
ive read about flashing roms from the acctual kaiser... in noobie language i believe this means that i should try to find the operating system from the HTC kaiser (not the tilt) and install it instead of what ive got.
do i need to install anything before i install cab files?
haha the onlything ive gotten to install was Live Search and Google Maps...
Thank you,

My advice to you ... always install this "SdkCerts.cab" BEFORE you start anything else ( tweaks .. installing ...etc )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=52302&d=1190920271
found from this valuable thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332438
and then install this one next !! :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333898
after the "KaiserTweak" above is installed ... use it and turn the "security prompt" to OFF !! among other things ( optional )
now ... happy tweaking and installing anything you'd like
P.S ... since you haven't really done anything to it ( except maybe did screwed it up a little somehow ?? )... do a hard reset and then follow the above advice
per request i am going to detail everystep in my miserable attempt to install any cab on my phone.
1) crawl this forum/ youtube for progs i find interesting
2) download to my computer not changing anything
3) move the files via active sync to my device (not on the storage card... directly to my documents)
4) open file manager
5) double click my cab
6) click ok to unsucessful install notification
some freeky occurances that may help you isolate my issues.
1) i can not delete anything from the device. if i try to delete something from the mydocuments folder (or even rename it) i get a sharing violation. this is not the case when i am in active sync on my computer.
follow my advice above
one thing about the native file explorer ... it is CRAPOLA !!
I personally used "RESCO EXPLORER" ( not free )
difference ?? Resco ( and others ) will let you rename/replace/move files ...etc while the native one is restricted somehow.
and it comes with a registry editor that make changes STICK ... other editors might let you do the changes but a lot of people reported that changes reverts back after a soft reset ... not so with RESCO
and about the CAB file being in your "My Documents" ..etc ... it is NOT a must !! it can be place anywhere and be executed !!!
now ... installing a program to a certain place ( main storage/SD Card) is a different story altogether.
P.S ... on odd occasion ... moving file via activesync tend to "convert/alter" the original too .. just on odd occasion
the settings is in ACTIVESYNC's --->>> TOOLS --->>> ADVANCE TOOLS menu
do yo have a memory card? are you installing to the memory card or the device?
i have tried both the card and the device with no luck. i tried hard reseting it.... didnt work.
i.e. wont even let me download cab files.
is there any way to hard refresh and use the kaiser software? (black today screen) ?
Did you add the sdkcerts cab as discussed above? I'm new at this too, but have never had any problem loading any cab on the storage card and running from there. Don't even know what the sdkcerts cab is, but put it on first per instruction and it's all a cakewalk. Try that

YOU DON'T open cab file with internet explorer !!!
it is meant to be run on your device via FILE EXPLORER ... !!!
I think you should try downloading things from a desktop PC for now and Hard RESET your device and try it from start ...
just do it through desktop and then transfer file(s) VIA card reader ... and re-read what mentioned about the sdkcerts.cab ... it is a REQUIREMENT !!

ok so i ran the POF rom thing... then i got the duttythroy's18533.0.7.0 with CE OS 5.2.1921 ROM....

Hi,
I'm having the same problem. My tilt won't let me install any cabs or uninstall anything. It says "installation unsuccessful." I've tried to install sdkcerts.cab and it wont even install that.
Every cabs are diffrent, when you ask for help on certain issues you need to add information as what cab you talking about If you are refering to a homemade cab and get alot of "installation unsuccessful" moust of the comon errors is that you havent digitaly signed the cab, specialy working whit library files this is needed. Cabs rely on OS, diffrent ROM can contain diffrent OS -> meaning the effect can change from successful to unsuccessful installation
I used to be able to install cabs until recently. But now my phone won't let me install ANY cabs whatsoever, regardless of whether i use an exe or a cab. Further, when I try to delete anything through file explorer, I get "Cannot delete...Access is denied." I can delete things through active sync on my desktop though.
Bump for help!

Noone here will wave a magic wand for you. How about some decent info on youre issue as phone, rom, spl or not. When did it happend after what? Apps installed and so on. If you cant provide more info or google youreself to an answer on this on I suggest you hard reset youre device.
Same problem here: recently CAB files won't install
I'm using a Kaiser. Here's my ROM etc.
ROM version: Essential WWE
ROM date: 18/04/2010
Radio version: 1.70.19.09
Protocol version: 25.83.40.02H
If I recall correctly, this is the link to the thread where I got this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629593
It's been running just fine, almost flawlessly, since April. But a couple of weeks ago I dropped the phone while getting up in the morning. Just a foot or so, onto thin mock-hardwood flooring, so it bounced a bit. The back cover popped off and out popped the extended battery. Of course there was the usual soft reset after putting things back together and pressing Power... but after this some things looked wrong. I found more and more errors as I tried using the device, so I went to a backup (use Resco Backup) and restored just the registry, choosing the 'stop all programs' option as usual with any whole or partial restore. After what seemed a successful registry restore and soft reset, the device was closer to how it had been, but still not quite 'right' somehow. I haven't had time for more fussing, too much work and family stuff going on, so I just left it at that. Daily PIMbackups offer the most important security for me anyway.
But I do like to use a lot of software, and would like to be able to install CAB files once in a while. Just yesterday I wanted to try Resco Pocket Radio v3.0, but found it wouldn't install. Not any error, just an eternal hourglass with no progress showing on the bar. No way to close out the install dialogue. It runs until soft resetting. I thought at first it was a Resco Radio CAB problem, but trying other known-good CAB files showed that it was the device.
So I'm left wondering what could have gone wrong. The battery has come out before, lots of times when I used to swap between two normal-capacity batteries, before getting this fat battery. Never saw a problem like this. Everything else seems to be working okay. I've had to tweak the odd setting since that glitchy restore, like alarms not sounding until I ran CalNot.exe (found in \Windows, part of the ROM) a few times and reset. Calendar and apMemo and other alarms all worked fine after that known fix. I'm back to an old glitch in the phone software where initiating any outgoing call triggers a loud partial beep. Got rid of that for a long time, but it's back. A bit of skin weirdness too, with plain blue showing up behind the Start Menu instead of my background, but that was easily fixed just running the skin again in Today options.
So there seems to be something a bit weird about CAB files and the Kaiser, for some people and some ROMs. Seems from this thread that it's not a specific ROM in question. I'll keep Googling, but frankly time is at a premium lately and I just don't have much of it for such things, and certainly not for a manual rebuild from a scratch ROM install. That can take me half a day with all the stuff I run. Tried a few times trimming down the software installs, but it's not not comfortable missing programs I've used regularly for years. So I'll live with this CAB problem until business lets up a bit. Unless of course someone comes up with a 'magic wand' to help out. ;-)
i ccan't figure this out does anyone can tell me the procedure?
were to download and how to install??
Do a search. on either google or on this forum before asking plz.
This question has been answerd before.
But sins there was no thread that was acualy called like your question ill post the answer and maby next time when someone search they will defenetly find the answer
Go to the link below and download the program and install it on your computer.
When its done it will install it on your phone aswell. (so keep it connectded to the computer while you install it)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
Go here
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en
If you read the instructions, it will tell u.
This package uses ActiveSync 4.0 to update the device. Before running NETCFSetupv35.msi, connect your device to your PC. If your device is not connected, ActiveSync will store the CAB file and will not install the package until you connect. If you are not using ActiveSync, run the CAB files on the device that correspond to the device–specific CAB files found in the install folder.
For now, it's not possible to download directly the cab file from MS site
google for the following files:
- NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab
- netcfcfg.cab (saves yourself from editing registry)
You will identify trust-worthy locations easy
Easier than you can imagine.
Search MODACO forum ( www.modaco.com ) NETCFCFG.cab and NETCFv35.vm.armv4i.cab
Install both and you will have a simple application in program menu to choose between net 2.0 and 3.5. DONE
You can also choose to use 2.0 for some applications and 3.5 for other
thnks y´all i found it on modaco, got it worked!!
pls help, I can't install it
it writes: "installation error. stop all applications and processes, maximize available storage space, and run installation again. Support info: 3"
I cant even uninstall it, and I get this msg always
"installation error. stop all applications and processes, maximize available storage space, and run installation again. Support info: 3"
Solution: I kill Kaiser Notification and then I can install .NET Framework without this problem. This app. using .NET Framework.
So I think the solution is in closing/killing all running applications.
What is the "kaiser notification"?
I have the same install error.
Thank you.
i have the same installation error as the last two posters. i tried killing every program i can and i still get the error
me too !......still can not install netcf v3.5 !!
After 2 days searching high & low through internet all discussion session, still can not find a solution. Therefore I made a self tracing and tried all kinds of method, at last I found a solution without doing a hard reset !!
rename mscoree.dll under windows\ to mscoree.dll.txt
re-install netcf v3.5
no more any error code comes up
thats it !!
I am running a tytn II, with the same problem. Install, i get the error. I can't uninstall, atleast not when I try through the 3.5 installer (remove or repair) or the "remove programs" on the kaiser.
I have hard reset the phone 2x,and regardless of whether I am installing from the exe or the cab file on the phone, still get the same error as everyone else.
This past time, i tried changing the name of the mscoree.dll under windows\ to mscoree.dll.txt and mscoree35.dll to mscoree35.dll.txt
same problem. I'm really beyond annoyed. Can someone help?
have a sprint diamond, how do i check which version i have and if its the newest?
it seems like all the programs i try and install say it requires a newer version than the one installed on the device but its only a month old so im not sure.. any help would be great..
thanks!!
I have the same question. I've searched all over and can't find an explanation of what .Net 3.5 is or how to find out if I have it already. I have a Sprint (CDMA) HTC Touch Diamond. Thanks.
I had the same problem on my HTC Kaiser, but I found a solution.
I found a program that acts like safe mode on a computer.
So if you install that program and restart in safe mode (you need to select safe mode when you boot), you will be able to install the compact framework 3.5.
Probable some locked files prevent the normal installation.
The program is an evaluation version, limited to 14 days, but since you only need it for the framework, you don't need to keep if you don't want to.
The app: SafeMode 3
...still not working on my touch diamond.
i've renamed the dll and tried the safe mode app. But I still get the same error.
btw: i have this problem since i installed a cooked rom.
Thanks. Was also having the install issue (I had previously installed and then removed 3.5 but good old ms clearly didn't remove correctly).
Renaming mscoree.dll worked (I tried mscoree2.5.dll before but that didn't work as it was in use so I couldn't rename that).
Glad it worked, was facing dropping back to previous backups or installing a task manager to kill processes (a good task manager program will show all your processes), just to reinstall 3.5.
another thing that goes wrong with the 6.5 wm and tf3d installed:
when you go to the movies, and you put your phone into vibrate, with the left volume keys, the phone goes into vibrate fine,
but when you set it back to full volume, the next time someone calls, it only vibrates, you have to go to: Settings, Sound and change the ringtone manualy to make it ring again...
Sorry, Wrong Forum...
I am trying to free up memory on my Tilt. I have uninstalled all unwanted apps and decided to go directly to my Windows folder to delete unwanted files. I found different cab files and Windows Media files that appear to have been from the original ROM. However, the delete option is disabled for these files. Is there a good utility I can use to delete these files, without having to flash my device with a different ROM.
Thanks in advance
Nope. Those files are in the ROM and you can't remove them from the phone.
Technically you can if you know how to cook your own ROM
Soft reset after Hard reset
Thanks. I have read the trick on how to soft reset the device after hard reset and before the "provider" apps are installed. This worked great for me prior to WM 6.1, but it did not work with the latest 6.1 update. Is there a trick to getting it to work on 6.1, or is that no longer a valid way to get rid of those applications?

I have a stock HTC Touch Diamond. I am wanting to remove the apps I don't use like Messenger and some others. I tried through ActiveSync but because they are built into the ROM they do not show up. Is there an app or something I can use to remove these?

SKTools will allow you to remove apps that are installed on your device that don't show up in the Remove Programs part of Settings.
Also, you could hard reset your device and soft reset before customizations run and then install only the apps that you want.
Or, use activesync and browse to Windows-Start Menu-Programs and delete the program shortcuts that you don't want to see. Though with this option all you are doing is removing the program shortcut the program files are still there.
I tried SKTools but under the installed programs section it only shows the ones I have installed. I wanted to remove the likes of WLM, YouTube etc. I ripped all the ROM data (following one of the tutorials, so I have 4 RAW files but not sure how to combine them back to an NBH file so I can edit them in a kitchen to remove what I don't want.)
Ok well I managed to reconstruct the ROM but I have no idea how successful I actually was at doing such. I followed the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337066. I really want to put this ROM on the phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622093 but I am afraid that if I screw up the flashing and my reconstructing of the stock ROM didn't work that I would be screwed. Any suggestions? Also my provider doesn't make the ROM available and neither does HTC (for Rogers that is).
In SKTools if you go to the Installed Programs Section click on the right softkey and select settings.
Then scroll down to "Show Applications Not Listed As Installed." Change the setting to Yes.
Maybe then you can remove what you want.
Also, you can use the Move Data part to move files, folders, and applications to Internal Storage to free up space.
Believe it or not but that is not an option under settings that will show Applications not listed as Installed... running SKTools 4.5.1.4.
Scratch that. I found it
