I've managed to use the Extended_Rom and Config to restore an XDAII after hard reset.
Problem is that I need to add a registry entry for a control (from the config file)
I used the How to Make the extended ROM visible on your HTC Himalaya .cab
http://www.ppcw.net/?itemid=1638
can anyone explain how i would do something similar (simply?)
thanks
Hello everybody.
Whenever I install a .cab from my miniSD card it dissapears from the miniSD card. Why is this? Is there any solution?
Thanks in advance.
Thats what WM does. It will remove the original CAB files once you have installed it. To solve this, copy a backup of the CAB file before installing.
Ot make a CAB not delete after running it. copy the file to your SD via your PC and then right click on the file and make it Read only.
Once read only the file will not be delete after being run.

Or just set the file properties to read only using TotalCommander /GSFinder etc. That way you can keep them all on your SD card in case you need to reinstall away from your PC.
bryanz, click on cabinstl.exe. check the option <Do not delete cab file>. The default is unchecked (blank). This solves ur problem
Hi blogg buster, in what folder is that file?
Thanks for all your replies.

cabinstl is a freeware program for WM2003 which lets you to choose whether to install the application to main memory or SD card, (which WM5/AS4 now does itself), and the option to keep the cab, which you can do anyway by setting the RO attribute. So IMHO it's not really needed on the Wizard.
OK, thanks a lot Ineedtoys
Ineedtoys, I think bryanz may be right but from what I gather u are running smthing which looks like cabinstaller. Check from Start>program to see whether u have cab installer. if not, then discard my suggestion. Another way is to use the FIND option from ur file explorer to find "cabinstl.exe" .
Good luck
This little cab will stop all cabs installed after it from being deleted, although it will delete after you use it. It probably is the same as putting a check mark in the cabinstl.exe program.

The only file I can find on my WM5 and 2003SE machines is a cabinstl.dll in ROM, which cannot be run directly. So if you have a "cabinstl.exe", you must have installed the freeware add-on?
Which is largely redundant in WM5 anyway, apart from letting you see or extract the contents of the cab prior to installation.

I have posted on other forums the reverse issue for some people with other WM5 devices.
Kevin Tofel and James Kendrick of MobileTechRoundup have mentioned that on their WM5 phones - Verizon 6700 and Treo 700w, that any installation .cab files that they install are not deleted after the app is installed. I wonder if the above little cab (or something like it) has been installed on some OEM devices.
Any ideas how to reverse this and have the cab deleted for those that don't have the functionality.
There's actually a registry setting that controls this. Here's a quote from a registry tweak thread on Treo Central exlaining how:
Make WM5 keep CAB files around after installing (1)
If you wish to keep the original .CAB file around after installing the application, set:
HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\nDynamicDelete = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Or to restore to the default:
HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\nDynamicDelete = 2 (DWORD decimal)
Make WM5 keep CAB files around after installing (2)
An alternative method of making WM5 keep the original .CAB file around after installing the application is by adding the "/nodelete" option to the Windows CE loader:
HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = 'wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete' (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
I trialed a 700w for a while and noticed that it would delete cabs installed from main memory but not from SD. I'm wondering if nDynamicDelete = 1 sets this behavior.
Rom I currently heve on my Wizard is K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship. I want to change it to Qtek_9100_1_6_7_ENG with aWizard. I want also to change extended rom to Qtek_9100_1_6_7_ENG_Extended_ROM2, but if I'm trying to copy it to /Extended_ROM/ it warns me that it's impossible to overwrite files. I've deleted all files in /Extended_ROM/ with Total Commander, but those files are seemed to still be there since there is a question if I want to overwrite. I was trying to use Unlock Ext Rom Wizard from this forum, but when I install it to my Wizard there is being created /Extended_ROM2/, but I still can't copy new ext rom either to this folder or /Extended_Rom/. There were created in those folders strange subfolders which I can't remove. If anyone can help me I wolud be grateful.
no one knows?
Two registry keys
Forget the download and just change the following two registry keys:
HIDDEN:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\TRUEFFS_DOC1] "Bootphase"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1] "MountHidden"=dword:00000001
SHOWN:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\TRUEFFS_DOC1] "Bootphase"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1] "MountHidden"=dword:00000000
I just changed my registry with these settings, here some things you have to know if you do this
1) After changing the registry values, shutdown your PDA and turn it on again (soft-reset doesn't work, the values are not static yet or something, turning your PDA off and on works to keep the values).
2) Your Storage Card is renamed to "Storage Card 2", so ANY app installed on the Storage Card does NOT work anymore, you have to install/upgrade them again on the Storage Card.
ALSO you get a folder named Storage Card, but doesnt contain any files.
In your File Explorer you got the following "drives" after this registry tweak
- Device
- Storage Card
- Storage Card 2
- Extended_ROM2
Peace!
After I change the registry with your method, in the camera option can't save the picture to Storage card. Only can save in device and extended rom.
There just ain't any solution yet for the Wizard !Ricardo and Buzz are working on the problem

Sorry if this question is a bit dense.......
I have a Pioneer in-car Bluetooth system that cant see my Hermes (SPV 3100).
I have found this solution below on another thread. Could anyone advise:
1. Where to fine the registry file (I cant find it anywhere through explorer)
2. How do I update the registry?
Many thanks for any help...
Solutions:
Change the COD (Class of Device) from a PDA device to a smartphone device.
This can be done this way:
1. First make sure you've got a backup, or remember all settings you change in the registry.
2. Edit with a registry editor the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\SY S\COD
By default my vario II does have the value: 1048852 (decimal)
Change this to: 5374476 (decimal).
3. Soft restart your device
4. Voila! Your device now identifies itself as a smartphone, and my pioneer unit finds it without problems.
search the forum for a registery editor..and then edit the required registery
Thanks.
I now have Total Commander installed. Where are the registry files?
TC is whowing the following directories:
Application data
ConnMgr
Docs & Settings
My Docs
Program files
Storage Card
Temp
Windows
..and then half a dozen files
i dont think it edits the registery files.....
use this one ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=29661&d=1155247044
or this one http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-phm-registry-editor-v0-70.html
Loaded and registry changed. I'll see if it connects to the Pioneer system tonight.
MANY THANKS for the advice
I do a lot of "upgrading" on my HTC Wizard. And was wondering......
After the upgrade I always have to:
- execute a program
- remove a regkey
- Install a certifacate
- Install a second program
Can I somehow make a batchfile for this?
If not can I create a file that is capable of deleting a reg-key?
Easy to do with mortscript:
RegWriteString ("HKLM", "\Software\blablabla","your_string", your_string_value)
RegWriteDword("HKLM","Software\blablabla","your_dword","0")
or with a provxml?
you can remove regs with
noparm and nocharacteristic
