help please wanted before i pull all my hair out' bite all my nails off and become the man to launch a xda ll off of beachy head.......grrrrrrrrrrrr.
my problem is, i have windows mobile 6.1.6965 and running widows 7.
everything hooks up ok, i can see whats on my mobile, but when i download ext,rom unlock and unhide, plus hima_doc plus pnewboot, which are zipped folders, i tried to unzip them through winraa and its always asking for the next file to carry on to a full unzip, ive tried for hoursssssssssss with no luck.
all im trying to do is unhide my extra space format it and install a new operating system.
also when i try to extract any zip file to my xda, a screen opens to ask where i want to drop them to, but i cant see my pda in this screen, i was wondering was this the fault of windows 7.
im realy new to this so a walkthrough with step by step upgrade instructions would be great ie do i need to leave my sim card in and unlock ext_rom and installing a operating system.
i know this takes time to explain this, but this is a excellent forum and i hope there is a kind member out there that would do this.
many thanks in advance

you want to install another operating system next to win mo 6.5?
You can't do that.
when you do the himadoc tool you only get about 10mb more space for apps/

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2441837
can you guys at least tell me the full name of "dd" program is please.
I saw this and questioned what it meant too....could it mean DownloaD? Clarity is so key in this realm.

dd is the full name. It's a UNIX utility and is not available by default on Windows machines. If you use Windows and want something a little more user-friendly, WinDiskImager will work just as well.
Well I did fine this for windows.

I was wondering if there was a program that could create bootable USBs without administrator privileges. If there are, let me know.
Another topic: Are there any tools to burn an ISO to a usb drive? I need to move my ISO of The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion to my flash drive. Would I just be able to extract it using 7zip?
You can just extract the contents of the ISO image onto the USB. If it needs to create partitions then you will need to have administrator privileges, which is the main reason for software which do the job ask for such thing.
Thank You
Thanks!
I have installed Remix OS player, installed some apps and im out of space, i would appreciate same easy user way to resize storage size.
I agree with this suggestion.
i second this. could a virtal disk manager be used to resize the img file for user data? sure we will have to add corect size in config files also.
CrazyPwn
You could probably resize the image by attaching it temporarily to a Linux VM, but I don't know whether Remix would accept it (the partition size might be hardcoded.)

I have added a utility to my git repo to change the startup logo. Instructions are below, use at your own risk and all that.
Logo requires a 800x480 image. Any format should work. If the image is not 800x480 it will resized.
This release requires cygwin and my modified firmware to be installed.
1. Install cygwin
2. Extract all the files in logo.zip to your pc.
3. Open a cygwin shell and navigate to the extracted directory.
4. Run ./createXAVlogo.sh and pass the input file. ex ./createXAVlogo.sh input.jpg
5. Copy usbexecute, flash_erase, and newlogo.img to a usb stick.
6. Insert it into radio, flash will auto start.
7. When unit reboots remove usb stick. New logo should now display.
8. Remove copied files form usbtick.
Do we just download the "logo.zip" file? or do we click on the "clone or Download button" from the previous directory and download all the files again? I have already installed your disable files to radio?
Just a little nervous about doing this right so I don't brick a new radio. LOL
Thanks for all you have done with this

I added all the files in one zip to make it a little easier so no need to clone it. This update is fairly safe. On my test unit I completely wiped the logo partition and was still able to boot. There is always a small risk though.
I added a windows batch file version. Cygwin is no longer needed.
Color change
Hey @superdave, I tried this earlier this morning and everything works fine, I just have one problem. I used the same picture I used for the background and even though the bootup picture did change the blue part of the logo turned red for some reason. Your converted_preview.tiff shows the right picture so Idk what's going on. I'm using your firmware for the caution screen disable btw. I'm going to try a different usb and maybe another logo with the color blue in it to see if it does it again.

I just noticed this as well. In my case the red turned to blue. Pretty sure I know the issue. I'm checking this now.
Ok @superdave so I actually just tried another usb. Same problem, with the first usb I used the cygwin method and it was formatted in ntfs. The second usb I used the windows batch method and it was formatted in FAT32. Same results on both. The custom logo works fine as a background but when I set it as the bootup picture too the bootup one changes the blue part of the logo to like a maroon red. It's weird. I'm going to try another blue logo soon.

Do I need to edit the picture at all? I just tried it again, and I got the same result. Idk if it'll help but I attached the picture.
No, shouldn't have too. Are you using the . Sh or the. Bat?

Yeah, it's normal. Just warning messages since we're not using any config files.
@superdave, Yea the .sh did the same thing, the blue part of the logo is red. Maybe it just doesn't like my picture lol.

I just tried your image and it worked fine. Maybe try deleting the files off the USB first?
Edit: I just posted a new version that deletes the files if they exist first. I also just noticed I did not update the logo.zip before.

Works Great! Just downloaded everything again and used the logo.zip. I was only using the logo.zip before you fixed it so it makes sense as to why it wasn't working when you had fixed it already.
Thanks a lot man! I got a 2 year protection on the radio, so if you ever need a guinea pig for any update I'm here lol.
Working well, but I am having trouble trying to get the boot logo background to match the wallaper background of the unit (I want a logo on the boot screen, but logo-less on the desktop).
The luminance of the boot image seems to be massively boosted, and I am having trouble trying to match them. Anyone arty enough to work out what's going on? Or some Paint.NET adjustments to make to get them to match? Attached my image I am using. (Feel free to use it if you want)
I just tried to convert the image but the program just exits after I enter the file name and enter. Tried with different name, with and without file type, still exits without converting it.
EDIT:
damn antivirus! it blocked the operation without notifying me about its actions. it works!
EDIT 2: my radio won't update. I've put everything in its place and it doesn't do anything. tried also with update folder and without, no success
I plugged in my pendrive and the radio did nothing. I have the firmware on the version 1.02.06. Any tips?
Help for a non-Windows user...
I'd love to update the logo at startup, but I don't have a Windows PC. Would anyone be so kind as to convert 2 logos for me?
