INSTALING .cab FILES!!!! HOW YOU DO IT...IM NEW TO THIS LOL

hi guys i recently posted a topic on o2 gprs probs. i have found the settings and downloaded them in .cab formatt. but how do i install them on to the fone or if not what folder do they need to be in?

i have placed them inthe ppc files directory and clicked to install bu it displays a message sayin they cant be installed.

cab files can be installed from any location
if they will not install maybe their are currupt
or for another cpu type then arm or xcale

i used the cab files from this forum. does anyone have the .cab files for XDA2 on o2 uk payg? would be a great help

here is where i got them. which 1 i need? and what i got to do wiv it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13498

done it lol, when i was dl the .cab file it displays on my PC as a winrar file so i was automatically extracting the files (all six of them lol), realy all i had to do was put the Downloaded file straight onto my XDA lol. dummm asss

i'm glad you got there in the end :lol:

...
Well the .cab files are the installation-packages for WinMobile. You need to transfer this .cab file direct to your device(or card) and via any file-exploring software start this .cab. The installation should be started. If you get an error,there can be few problems:
1.The .cab installation is for other processor type
2.or is it for a Smartphone device(PPC and SP are uncompatible(well WM5 has better compatibolity))
3.The .cab can be corrupted.
Now I want to say,that this direct in-device installation has some bad properties:
1. The .cab file is automatically deleted after installation(when your .cab isn't read-only)
2.The system install the software into a default folder only(\Program Files)-you cannot choose your own destination such as Storage,Storage Card etc..
This bugs solve this utility(below). I really recommend that.

How to extract files from ATOM ROM?

As we know, to upgrade ATOM ROM we have to lauch an exe file downloaded from seeo2.com. But we cannot extract any file from this exe file except Boot.nb0 and this file is useless. Does anyone know how to extract other files from it. As I know, there are at least following files inside this exe file:
eboot.nb0
dm.nb0
flash.img
agent.mot
mot.mot
CPLD.img
assetinf.img
extended.img
MDOC.img
Its strange that there is no .nbf file at all. Is there any method to dump the ROM from a working ATOM? Can the Grabit utility grap ATOM ROM to SD? Will it be usable ?

I have dumped it already and uploaded here, but i do not remember are the files you search there.

When you double click the exe file, it will extract files to Windows\Temp foler, files are all hidden.

I'm not sure if this is correct, but I was provided with
Xda-Atom-ENG-20060123_Feb2006_.exe
Double click. This will extract to your root drive
c:\
Device Software Update Utility.exe
diskimage_Ver.nb0
Extendedrom.img
nova_pda_033105.mot
vl1d_pda_Ver.mot
Extendedrom.img can be opened with winimage.
diskimage_Ver.nb0 - can't remember how I dealt with it, but in the "usual" ways I guess! Mamaich's romtools I suppose. Thanks Mamaich!
If anyone can, I could still really do with a live rom dump, using this app:
http://www.vijay555.com/vj/!Tools/dump_167.exe
I'm not sure if it works on the Atom, but I'd be grateful if someone could try it and let me know. A couple of nice guys have tried and failed

Vijay dear friend..
like i told you before...
the DUMP didn't work..
but you have the lastest rom.
any way, in a week or so, a new rom is about to come out, may the new rom could be dumped...?!?
Nadavi..

Exactly assasins, and I'm really grateful for the info.
I've dumped the rom file above, but a dump from the rom isn't the most useful ways to get files out of it. Some files aren't usable from there, so a live dump is best. But not to worry, I'll live without for now.
Oh, but I could still do with an atom registry dump if someone can send me that... gracias!

dear vijay555
is this suppose to wirk with ETEN M600
it runs ok but I don't no ware it extract files
thanx

I think it extracts them to a folder on your sd card, called Dump.
If you've got an eten dump, I could do with one of those as well.
I didn't write this app - I can't even remember where it came from. If anyone wants to volunteer as the author, I'd like to know more about the app!

Will I think it's not working hear
noyhing in my SD or TMP folder
thanks for your help
Regards

Guys, what's the storage card called on the Atom?
Is it still called \storage card\?
V

xda atom
its called memory card.

is there have such tool like HTC mtty for Atom?

Thanks in advance

Ive managed to get the awizard tool to work and does reset the jammin but when i go then to install the dopod rom update in bootloader mode it comes up with ivalid provider id error ...... :? :? :? :?

Download and install WinRAR
Right click on the ROM you downloaded,
Extract the files to one folder.
In this folder, you will find 2 folders. You need to copy the files from both folders into one folder only.
Replace the RomUpdateUtility.exe as needed.
Double click on it and go.

Brilliant thanks alot thats where i was going wrong i wernt extracting both folders into the 1 ...Updating now
Thanks alot been pulling me hair out all day

You should expect the process to pause at 80% and 95%. Fear not, it will run its couse to 100%.
The new ROM is a lot faster. Try starting and stopping Blutooth. You'll notice the change in speed.

hmmm seem to have a problem where it stops at 46% and comes up with communication error 302 and wont go no further telling me to try a recovery :?

Yes, you'll take them all and put in one folder.
You'll replace the utility from the ROM with the one in my link above.
It doesn't matter what the folder is called.

problem downloading and installing cab files on Htc Wizard

Hi i must be doing something incredibley stupid but i can't work out what! I click to download a cab file it downloads it as zip file onto my laptop I open this file which then opens about six other files I transfer them to my Wizard and double click on them and the wizard asks me what program to open the file with ?
Please help what idiot thing am i doing wrong?

Transfer the CAB file to your device as one file, do not unpack it.
Then run the CAB file on your device.

Where can I get RUUpdater

I'm so sorry about this. I really have spent over an hour searching and Googling and reading the Wiki but I just can't seem to find this simple thing.
My O2 XDA Orbit is dead so I thought I'd try one last attempt to rescue it by re-flashing the factory ROM (WM5). I found this thread via the wiki http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306904 and am following the instructions for bricked devices. I downloaded the O2 Orbit WWE Wm5 factory rom from rapidshare, I have my device in the bootloader and it shows "USB" in the bottom left and the PC reacted and recognised the device when I plugged it in (but doesn't see it in Activesync).
The step I'm stuck on is that Meschle's instructions say "flash factory rom. (run rom executable or RUU updater from pc)". The rom is an nbh file so I suppose I need the RUU updater for PC. Where do I get this from? I just can't find it.
- Julian

dude if you downloaded the file the ROM you are talking about then you got ur self sorted - the package u have has the RUU or ROM Update Utility
when u go to bootloader, plug ur ppc to the pc and when u see the usb sign in the ppc screen just start the package u got from rapidshare it will do everything auto!!
let us know how you get on?
best luck with your 'surgery' it will be fine just dont worry

Maybe he downloaded simply a ROM file and not the complete package as usual. Download one of Meschle's or Tom's ROMs for example and delete the .nbh file inside the folder and replace it with yours.

true - Download any rom and delete the .nbh file inside the folder and replace it with yours. if u have ur rom on *.exe u can extract the ruu using winrar by right clicking and following the extraction!!

Direct download - a RUU
http://www.zshare.net/download/657626275df642/
this is a rom update utility - i got it from my files its only the ruu no rom is included so add ur *.nbh file to the extraction folder
BTW why dont u get artemis touch 3.01 rom its the best
