Looks like you've extracted the CAB file.
You just have to copy the CAB file to your device and click it to install.
I tried again later by copying every file from what i downloaded for the plug in to on my computer and none of the programs wanted to install. I had no problem installing kaiser tweaks but this is just really irritating me. I know this may be a noob question but does the cab file look like?
no i dont think you quite understand there buddy. The file you downloaded that looks like a .zip file is actually a cab what you need to do is transfer the whole "zip" file over to your phone and open it in file explorer
It doesn't download as a zip, it downloads on to my computer as a bunch of seperate files. I put it into a zip file and then put it on my tilt. I'm sorry if i seem like i'm stupid, i'm just trying figure out how to do this. I downloaded from
http://www.pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=4618
is this a bad site to download from. If so please tell me of some other one.
just put that file into ur phone nd set it up thats it. dont zip or unzip it. you can tell if its a cab file if it has all these different files in there. or if it has ".cab" at the end of it (no quotes). the ".cab" file will look exactly like a zip file (it will have the same icon).
Thanks for the help!!!! Much appreciated

Extract the zip in this folder into \Windows on your device, and Run QuickMenu.exe (If you want the English version).

thanx

Heres the cab file to make things easier if you need to install it again.
Related question: installing the cab (or unzipping the files and running the exe) doesnt seem to replace the standard start menu. any idea why? i can see the quickmenu.exe and quickmenu.lnk files in \windows, but i can only get quickmenu to pop up by running them.
thanks!

Actually you should be able to get it from the zip file you flashed to your phone. Use 7Zip to open the file and look around. It should be in there.
or just try this one out..
wifirouter.apk installation failure
wifirouter.apk fails to install via the normal means. After viewing the message stating that "wifirouter.apk was not installed" I found a few other places on the internet mentioning this app. One of these places suggested copying the wifirouter.apk directly to /system/app/ and setting the permissions correctly (-rw-r--r--). I have placed this wifirouter.apk file in /system/app/ via root explorer, verified permissions, and rebooted my phone but the app is still not visible. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm attempting to do this on an HTC incredible 2.
Thanks.

Phone won't update to 2.3.4...not even manually

Okay, I'll keep it short and simple.
1. Got the phone and activated it. Running froyo
2. Rooted and installed CWM with the .bat one click file (I think it's the program MT wrote. It wasn't revotoolkit which I know is thecubed).
3. Realized I want to use gingervolt, so I need to update. I use the .bat file to un-root and go back to stock.
4. Try to manually push the OTA download through settings>about phone. Updates the phone to VS910ZV6 which is froyo 2.2.2
5. Try to update again (need gingerbread, which is VS910ZV7) and it keeps telling me "No new Software Update Available"
What gives? I'm thinking it may have something to do with the root? I also tried doing the manual update, you know the one floating around the internet using a .tot and LGNSP or whatever the acronym is, but Megaupload and Multiupload don't have the files anymore. Right now I'm downloading TheCubed's stock shipping rom and see if I can install it and get the update to go through.
Is there any fix that someone might know of? I ask because I've read several topics where people say they went down to stock shipping rom but they still couldn't update to gingerbread...then the topics just stop. Obviously they found their answer, so I'm hoping someone will share. I NEED TEH GINGERBREAD.
Thanks for all the help!
I had the same problem,
I was able to directly push GB using this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337386
use the VS910ZV7.tot, that's the latest stock.
I found that post and I would LOVE to do it, but all the files are gone. Click a link, all of them say "file is no longer available".
file serve .tot links gone

I have the same problem all the .tot files on file serve are no longer there please please give a different link or if you already have the file can you email it to me at [email protected] thank you in advance.
Ok here's what I've done so far---
Followed the instructions to set it back to the stock rom-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129117
Now My build version is VS910ZV4 and my software version is VS910ZV6
O_O
Can it change the build version without changing the software?????
Tried to update, no avail. Nothing happens, I just get the "no software available" crap. Shouldn't it atleast try to update the build version? and is there a reason why it changed my build version to V4 but not my software?
Read the last few pages of the thread. I posted a link for the V7 Gingerbread .tot file that is linked to my dropbox account. I also posted a link somewhere around here for the LGPNST. I'll try to find the links.

Oh hell...Did you edit that or am I just an idiot? O_O Either way thanks!!!
I'll let everyone know how it goes.
1. Get the LGNPST Package with the GenericModels and Components Plug-In.
http://www.multiupload.com/UT7I7O2MNZ
2. Get the driver for the phone and install it
http://www.multiupload.com/QELZ4SJ5U4
3. Get the Stock Rom TOT file and extract it.
POSTED ABOVE
4. Get the DLL file specifically for the Revolution
http://www.multiupload.com/0AJEFUHVID
5. Extract the "LGNPST Store & Lab"
I have everything but number 4. What do I do about the DLL, is this something I need?

Yeah that DLL is a must have. I have it at home and would be able to upload it but not for a couple hours cuz I'm at work. You can try Google but I can't promise that you'll find it.

Thanks so much you've been a lifesaver...If you upload that, I'll do anything. I'd even help start dev'ing again
Thanks!!
EDIT: I found this, will it work, or is that only for v4?

It may just be an issue with Firefox. Juggernuts was able to download it without issue.

ok so i got started with internet explorer quick question how big is the .tot file??? and then is the dll specific or is it universal with v7?
Three things:
1. I was able to open up that .dll with 7zip. if you right click and try to open with 7zip it wont work. Open 7zip and navigate to the zip, then extract it.
2. You'll have to download the .tot (and possibly the .dll) under IE. The .tot file is 637 megs.
3. The .DLL seems to be universal. Once you open it with 7zip it's the exact same size of the link he gave. I'm 53% into the upgrade so I'll let you know if everything went ok.
EDIT: added a third
Everything worked. Installing Gingervolt 1.3!!!!

Titanium backup update.zip question

Where is th update. Zip file located
I creaed update.Zip file but im not able to find it
Its located in /sdcard
i still not able to find it
when you create the update.zip file, and it's finished, the notification bar will have a notification about the path, check that. If it's not there, may be the zip was not created successfully.
/mnt/sdcard/update.zip
Was this solved? I can't find the file either.. it's not in the root of the sdcard, I've tried to create it twice and searched for it. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.
dont you get a notification of completion of the process and when you pull it down, you can see where its located ?
I'm having the same problem. If I look with root explorer, it exists on the root of the SD, but I can't see it in windows? Maybe it's a 2GB file limit thing or something?
but the update.zip is not more than 4MB

Yeah, I tried to make a smaller one, and it's still there but I can't see it in windows. I tried renaming it as well and that didn't work either.

Answering my own question - its definitely located in the root, just not visible in Windows no matter what I do. Use a root explorer to grab it and move it to a flash drive or remote network location, that's what I did and it worked great.

I used wifi file transfer. I was able to download the file from there.
I had this problem. Try simply unplugging your phone from the USB cord, wait 5 seconds, then plug it back into your PC. Your PC should now see the update.zip.
One of common prob's with MTP !!
just do a search in root explorer, i got 4 locations of the same file on my galaxy s3 so you can find it in anyone of those.
and yes it is the same file in all of those locations, i even tried to change the name on one of them to check if all of them changed and they did
/data/media/0/update.zip
/mnt/sdcard/update.zip
/mnt/shell/emulated/0/update.zip
/storage/emulated/0/update.zip
Move the file out of the root directory and put it a folder, any folder. It will then show up on windows.

This worked for me! Although I used the stock file manager. After moving the update.zip to another location using file manager, I was able to see the file via Windows as well.
just change the file name and retry. worked for me
C:\> adb pull /sdcard/update.zip
