Installing a CAB (Sorry!)

Hi everyone,
I am trying to install various cab's, the ones that I have tried in the past have been one cab file. I simply transfer it to my phone and open it there.
But... some recent files appear as multiple files after I unrar them, none appear to be a traditional "cab" and I can't work out what to do with the them.
Any advice gratefully taken!

That maybe because you are extracting what you have downloaded.
What extension are they when you first download them?
Give us some examples of the full file names after extraction.

Hi Mike.
The one file for example is the Intent midlet manager, it shows _setup.xml and files such as loads of JMMFIL after I use winrar on them. Should I not be unraring them and just placing the downloaded file on the phone?
It does show as a winrar file, very confused!

In a stunning turn around of events I am an idiot, no need to extract them at all! Thanks all!

Generally a cab file will be seen by winrar/winzip as a compressed file if you open it on your pc. But normally a cab file should be copied to your phone (main memory or storage card) and run from there - no need to extract.

NB File Extraction

I recently upgraded my XPERIA X1 to Windows Mobile 6.5 using the W4X ROM however I'm disappointed the a majority of the ringtones have been removed.
I'm curious whether they can be extracted from a NBH image.
Now, firstly, I have no idea how to cook a ROM but I imagine the files and folders are contained within the image file somewhere.
I have a backup of the previous official R2AA rom that came pre-installed with the device however I have no idea on how to extract the NBH file.
I found an application that splits the NBH into several NB files however I have no idea how to progress further.
I imagine the 'Windows.nb' image contains the contents of the Windows folder on the device where the ringtones would be.
So, could someone point me in the right direction to find an application that will allow me to extract the folders contained within the NB file so I can access the missing ringtones and reinstall them?
Cheers,
Hyped

if you download jerpelea's kitchen (it's in one of the stickies) and put the rom in the source folder then run the command it extracts everything from it, and i suppose you could probably browse through the files that way, but i'm nt sure, just a suggestion!
or you could probably search for the ringtones on XDA, i know there are some from the rhodium somewhere!

Search this forum and you will find plenty of ringtone packages to download (removed from ROM but as addon shared by the cooks)
Thought gtrab shared it also in his cooking tutorial....

After Downloading @ HD7 where can I find download flie?

Hello,
I would like to know how can I find the downloaded files in HTC HD7 with WP7?
I have downloaded files from my hotmail.
It says downloading when download is finish,I can't open the file.
WP said Can't open attachment.
(There's no application associated with this file type)
I'd like to know where this downloaded attached files saved in phone.
I looked for the files by using TouchXplorer but I can't make it at all.
I have Registry Editor, TouchXplorer and my OS version is 7389.
Can someone give me an idea?
Thank in advance!

i think that file can't be accepted with wp7.

yes Ttblondey ,
I am trying to install .ttf , wp7 can't accepted.
But the download was finished.
I wonder if I can find this downloaded file.
I have chance to move to Windows\Fonts folder

The system does not work that way. Once you download an attachment, it gets stored by Outlook in some encrypted, hidden file somewhere that can only be accessed through the e-mail app. If the phone can't read it, then you are pretty much out of luck.
You are not meant to have file system access, so WP7 works very differently than a computer with file system access. Opening files that the OS does not support is not something you can do... yet.

Thank for all your advice.
I attached as a txt file to hotmail.
It saved as to the office hab. By using TouchXplorer, I found my text file under Document Folder. I changed file extension to .ttf.
Copy & paste at Windows\Fonts
can't do yet to change fonts in WP OS , still trying

anyway to insert speech language on system directory?

hi, I have an interop unlocked Lumia 830, and i've installed windows 10 mobile preview on this, but I can't download speech languages, is there anyway to put this on the C: folder on phone with full file system access and interop unlock?

This can only be doned before you upgrade to WM10.

I used to make a copy of DUShared directory on my PC. Every time i install wm10 interopunlock, full acces System , copy, update phone...install
EDIT: create those directories inside DUShared. Extract and copy inside DUShared the updateimput.xml file.
extract and copy inside PackagesToInstall directoy the speeech files from my ondrive account.

when I click to search updates it tell that the phone was updated, what is the process?

I think:
1)copy those files in phone folders.
2)speech, ad language-download,
3)settings, update.
Or only 1 and 3.

I think i have only one part of packagestoinstall. Only cortana in spanish is talking

[HowTo] Root Huawei P8 GRA-L09 with LOCKED bootloader (Official method from Huawei)

Hello my friends,
I bring you another great present I found in Huawei Uganda.
You must download this file from Huawei server : http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=47595&version=100498
Inside this file you will find several directories (8). In the first one you will find the first official ROM for Europe, a /vendor/dload/update.app to modify /Cust (used for debranding) and /Root/update.app
So, if you want simply Root your P8, you only need to apply /Root/update.app as an update. You must copy update.app in /dload folder of your SD card and you apply the update locally or with the three buttons method.
This should work for all Android 5.0 versions and for all customizations for global regions and carriers. This sould also work on GRA-UL00 and Android 5.1.1 but I haven't tested yet.
Now, in the other 7 directories inside this file, you will find drivers, software, utilities, documents (in MS Excel, MS Word, PDF, RAR and ZIP files). Even inside some MS Excel there're other documents in MS Word, PDF, RAR and ZIP format).
These 7 extra directories will be very helpful for ROM cooking and experts.
This file is a technical file for Huawei. Make a copy and upload it somewhere just in case Huawei delete it. For the moment, just enjoy it!
PS: After downloading file GRA-L09 V100R001C432B031.rar when you try to open it, you will get RAR end of file error. Don't worry. It's not important. After inspection, on directory #8, there're are 3 sub-directories but you will read only #1 and #2. #3 will be lost in extraction. It contained just a MS Excel file

i will try tonight and will report my experience. thanks for sharing
