Hi,
I want to know if anyone out there knows if it is possible to install Winzip or a similar product on to my o2 XDA Exec? I want to be able to unzip files on the handheld...
I have used a couple of ROM versions, and both have winzip. Have you checked your list of pre-installed programs?

Should be standard on your Universal.
In the \Windows Directory, it is called IA_Zip.exe

many thanks guys feel a bit silly now......
You can also use the Zip extension built into Resco file explorer, and WinRAR has a version for the PocketPC.

Have been attempting to extract Jawbreaker from XDAII ROM version 1.72.00WWE using dumprom without success due to the fact every time I run it on my laptop, XP Home edition tells me dumprom has encountered a problem and needs to be closed! Is there some fundamental basic I'm missing here (other than intelligence) with regard to extracting files from ROM?
I have used ROMdump to dump 64MB of ROM to my SD card, just need to be able to extract the files from this using dumprom or so my limited understanding of the procedure tells me. Am I even close?
BTW, have searched for Jawbreaker on this site, found a post by Sheran_G with links to download jawbreaker from an ftp site but the links no longer work. Anyone got Jawbreaker available to download, or better still, instructions on how to extract it myself? Reason I'm asking is my bro recently bought my XDA I off me and I've been putting games onto it for him but he's addicted to Jawbreaker on my XDAII, gotta get it for him so he stops hogging my phone!
windows games are small
my bet is that it's just 1 exe file
and if you just copy that exe file to your computer
and copy it to the device it will run

You are using dumprom tool incorrectly. Here is how it should be run:
dumprom.exe -4 -d C:\Dumped C:\full_path_to_rom_image.nba
You should create "C:\Dumped" directory, files would be extracted there.
Thanks for the replies guys. I tried copying the Jawbreaker exe to my laptop but I get an error mesage saying exe files in ROM cannot be copied. As for using dumprom, I'm afraid I need a little more help! I'm unsure where the program should be run from, XP, the command prompt or from DOS? Thick as two short planks me.
I've attached file.
Hi,
jawbreaker also needs one .dll to run...
So here you have .cab package, which you can install...
Then go to: Start -> Programs -> Games -> Jawbreaker

buzz_lightyear. Your copy of Jawbreaker would not work on XDA1. It is for WM2003SE. My EXE file should work on WM2003 devices. It is an old version taken form Imate PPC 1.72 ROM that does not require additional DLLs.

I'm using this shop - http://www.webpanel.ru/products.aspx?Product=270
Price was about 850$ including wired headset from XDA1 (headset buttons are incompatible with PDA2K) and lots of useless stuff like russian localization and outlook 2002. Now I have 2 copies of English outlook 2002 and don't know what to do with them, I use 2003

Oops! I installed Big Storage, but where I thought I'd backed up my cabs... I haven't. Anyone got the cabs for the Magician, or know how I can extract them from a rom file?
I've looked on the FTP, but I can't find any there.

What about the folger \Magician\Extended_Roms ? There are lots of files/folders containing the original ExtRom Cabs for lots of devices.
Or if you got a romdump from your non-bs system; use bal666 tool to extract them. Might even work on an extracted shipped-rom. But first...visit the ftp! As psych0t1c suggests.

Hi,
I want to flash my XDA Orbit with WM6. o2 has the image on their page, but it first installs WM6 and then destroys many things when it tries to put everything to GPRS, so that users pay much money instead of using the built in WLAN.
I read something about flashing and then soft resetting, so that it cannot run the branding tool. The .cab files with the branding tools an Tomtom and some patches are lying then somewhere. Where?
Is this method good?
When do I have to soft-reset?
regards,
Stefan

Just as the unit starts the customisation, directly after the auto-setup routine.
HTH,
Hello,
thank you for the info. I found that out in the meantime, but where are the update files then? I`m unable to find them...

In extended ROM, if you want to take them out, it's possible to cook the same ROM and re-flash it without this part....
If you want to see this stuff, you'll need an application like Total Commander.
Hello,
thank you for the info!
Which version of Total Commander? And why Total Commander? To view cabs? This is possible with WinRar, too. But there are only the installer files and the complete RUU image. I tried TC but I got the same result as with winrar.
Or is the PDA version meant?
I want to use the original ROM from the o2 homepage, just without branding. I have no o2 SIM card, bought it from ebay. And I don't want to unlock it, because of warranty.
regards,
Stefan

Total Commander allows you to look n the extended ROM on your device I presumed you wanted to clear files out that way.

You can look in the RUU image for the nbh file (using WinRAR), then break this apart to take out the ExtROM....

Hope this helps - if not, then I've probably done what you're looking for already and could put it on the FTP site....one of the Mods will tell me if this is a no-no....
Hello again,
I extracted the .nbh file.
"for the nbh file (using WinRAR), then break this apart to take out the ExtROM.."
What to do with it? renaming to .zip or .rar doesn't result in winrar opening it...
It's the german ROM.
I want to flash it as meant and then stop soft-reset when branding wants to start (waiting 3s). And then install only the needed fixes (sd fix, cam fix etc.)

Stefan

Ah. I assumed you had some cooking tools...you need to run NBHExtract, take out the EXTRom, run Dark Simpson's HTC ROM Tool to re-constitute the ROM and then re-flash. Are you happy about all this, or did you want to stay 'official'?

Do you have a link to the German ROM somewhere? I'll happily do all this and post the file somewhere for you to pick up.
Hi,
I don't want to brick it ;-) If I flash a cooked ROM, I have to cid unlock it before. Is this necessary? The premium Rom looks nice. A german version is not available, or did I miss it?
At xda-zone where they postet this, they wrote that somewhere then lying the .cab or .exe files which are executed then. Is it not posssible to extract them? And then install them manually?
On my request where they are no one answered...
I never cooked a rom or something like that, yet.
I can give you the link, but I think you are unable to get it, because there is a serial check before dl. But you can try.
If you have ICQ, I can send it.

The cam fix (found it in a forum) leads into the cam working good and the new modes are nice but often there is a message that the cam cannot be initialized. Then soft-reset helps.
Do you have the radio fix? Is TMC possible with it? With Navigon?
regards,
Stefan

Well, I'm only a trainee chef, but I can break ROMs apart and put them back together easy, without playing with the content too much - that's all you need here.

Hi,
I just upgrade my Htc Pure to new roms and my marketplace is gone. Can somebody help where I can find cab file or how to have it back? I run one of the cab file somewhere here but can't find the app even install successful.

Hi!
I am finding i need to get into & extract rar files. I have root explorer, but it appears as if RE only extracts zips (if i am wrong though, let me know).
If RE does not extract rar archives, what do people use? Looking for something convenient... I would rather not have another file manager since i use RE.
Thanks!
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
Um, the free app in market called unrar.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
OK.. Thanks... I infer from your response that the answer was maybe obvious....
I saw unrar, but didn't really know if the free app was limited (perhaps by time like the windows version is), and I also didn't think it would work in Root Manager.
But perhaps I should have installed it.. I just knew that installing File Expert or anything else would be ridiculous as I have RE... It annoys me that as RE is the de facto standard file explorer for enthusiasts, and considering that since other file managers have now added this functionality plus since Root Explorer already extracts zip files, I do not understand why the author would not have added this functionality by its current version. Zips are great, but rar files are pretty commonly used as a windows archival format... and obviously gunzips should be supported (actually, I can't remember if it extracts tarballs and gz's...it may)

the windows app doesn't have a limited time afaik

I use androzip for rar files.
Speaking of which, anyone know of one that can extract multiple RARs at a time into one file? I've tried many but none have that feature from what I saw.

that is what the paid version of winRAR claims it can do.
