.CAB files getting auto deleted... can it be prevented?

Hi,
Im using O2Auto.sa.cab (O2 Auto Network Configurations). I have put all of the networkxxxx.cab files in my Storage.
The problem is when I run the O2 Auto Network program and set it to configure other networks, the networkxxxx.cab are deleted.
The question is how can I prevent my cab files from getting deleted?
I have tried read-only options archive options already but they are still deleted once the cab file has been run.
Please can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance

I see 2 solutions :
- You use CabInstl and check "Do not delete CAB file"
- On your PC or PPC you edit the file properties and Check Attributes "Read Only"

Hi DocteurN,
Im not sure if thats going to work because I need use the program O2 Autoconfig, and this program automatically select which cab files to install. (the program runs the AutoConfig.txt file below and selects cab files for specific network); although all the cab files have been set to read-only, the O2 AutoConfig program still manages to delete them :evil:
What I need is a program to set premission on the cab files or the folder themselves so that they cannot be deleted by any program.. hope you understand what Im talking about :?
Thanks for the input by the way.

Preventing the CAB to be deleted
Use Resco Explorer or other that can manage the file attribute. Make the file attribute to read only (+R). Works with me the CAB won't be deleted.

Im also using Resco Explorer.. and the cabs have been set to read-only..
but the AutoConfig program still manages to delete the read-only cabs :evil:
I guess its the Autoconfig program is overriding the read-only properties of the cabs..
hmmmmm... not sure what I can do other than cracking up the AutoConfig program to not to delete the cabs..
Thanks for the input tho :wink:

PLEZZ-How prepare the EXT Rom Writable&Visible on hardre

Hey guys,
I am trying to create my EXTENDED ROM so that on Hardreset will automatically make the EXT ROM writable AND visible with the name "ExtROM"
Here's my Config.txt:

Notice I've added Buzz UNI_ext_rom_unlock.exe at the end. But Buzz's just unlocks the ext. rom for writing... Now I also want the Config.txt to automatically make the nessecary Registry tweaks to make the Ext. Rom VISIBLE.. That is, without making manual tweakings. How do I go about making the required change to the Config.txt to apply the right registry settings for that?
BTW:
I would prefer it to be visible with the name "ExtRom" or "Storage", rather than the default "Extended_Rom", that is according to Buzz suggestion as to avoid it be called Extended_Rom2 or making the StorageCard called StorageCard2 later on.
Please guys.. make my day And let me donate to both XDA-Developers and Buzz site as making me happy )
Cheers,
MOBILER

In theory all you should need to do is install the Uni_ExtRom_unlocker.cab but this cab file is defective and writes the wrong value to the registry. I would suggest waiting until someone post a cab with the correct values for the registry.

The Extended_Rom is already readable. Just use Total Commander to look at it. Goto Total Commander and type in \Extended_ROM and you can see its contents. I have never had to change the registry to view it on the universal. Had to see it on Blue Angel. Not sure how to rename it, but i have seen it in one of threads here or over at buzznet.
Maybe its just on the Jasjar, but its always been available to see it. Even immediately after upgrading to the latest rom.
If you want to write to it, just the run the uni_unlocker and then copy in your prepared extended_rom.
Attached is a cab file that I used today to install the unlocker to enable writing to the extrom. This cab also has the registry settings, While dah seems to say ot doesn't work. it works for me. And the registry setting he talks about is not G31 in this cab.

Interesting...
This Uni_ExtRom_unlocker.cab is not the same as the Uni_ExtRom_unlocker.cab I downloaded 2/24/2006 and has the corrected value for DriverPath. Now if they would change "ExtendedROM" to ExtROM" we would be set.
Thanks

Thanks dah54 and eagle 1,
I know I need to the use the Total Commander, but that's exactly the problem. I don't want to use the TC, because I want it to be visible just like a normal storage card, so that i would be able to directly install software there, and not just being able to access it via total commander, that is I already do.

And that's been my point, over the last few days, the CABs files here where faulty. Try the version of eagle 1's cab (in the 3rd post) it should do all most all that you want, the name will be ExtendedROM but the normal file explorer will see the Extended ROM as a storage card, and you will not require any additional software. Install this version, run the program, turn your device off, wait 5 minutes, then soft reset with the button. You should see the ExtendedROM folder.
Note>> If you wait after turning your device off, this gives the Universal time to write the changes made to the registry, to the registry. If you simply soft reset and the changes have not been written to the registry your Extended ROM will not be seen. Then you must re-install the program to get the registry values reloaded to the registry!

Thanks a lot dude!! time for some donations to this great board!

Disable Camera on s200

Can I have explenation on the different CABS?
does any body know what is the CAB that install the camera?
I tried to delete the camera.exe ffile from window directory but the file is marked ROM and cannot be deleted.
Can anyone suggest how to disable the camera?
Thanks
Moti

james bond!
you need to talk with james bond MI5

You can overwrite the camera.exe (which I am pretty sure is in actual ROM and has nothing to do with the extended) with en empty file with the same name.
This will prevent it from being launched, but the real question is will the security people in you company trust you to not re-enable the camera?

How do "overwrite" a file that is in actual ROM. I cannot rename is so I do I overwite?

Just drop the file in windows directory. What happens is: the file you copied is placed in program memory (flash) but because it has the same name and is in the same directory it "hides" the original file from anyone trying to access it.
Make sure the file is not in use when doing this.

Thank's
I did that using resco explorer and it worked. Istill need to convince security that it is a good solution.
What will happen after Hard / Soft reset. will the original file come back ??

Soft reset will have no effect, but hard reset will erase the replacement file.
Now let's hope they won't make you physically dismantle the camera or get another phone

3rd and final the wrap up
****If any of this is on the forums already forgive me.. however Beta5 of FF3 is preventing me from using search on pretty much any website... ends up in timeout land.. ****
ANYWAY
I tried both the Universal and Apache ROM Unlocker (and the registry settings)... no luck... Any Solutions? Would love to get rid of half this crap...
Additionally it looks like they put Audible and other crap from sprint INTO the Windows Mobile 6 OS ROM area as it calls to them from the config.txt as shown above... what crap is that...
Well other thought is i was able to extract main installer and the NBH file from the sprint ROM update download (60megs) but I haven't been able to find out how to extract .NB files that came out of the .NBH file.. or decode them or whatever is needed to remote the crap i want gone and then reflash it...
Anyone got any suggestions/recommendations (besides using custom roms...) i just want to remove some things... nothing else.... maybe if i get daring find a way to change registry settings prior to install so i don't have to do all 20 of them i normally do when a hard reset occurs...
Thanks!

Not meaning to be a selfless bump however
Is it even possible to extract the .NB files that come from the main .NBH file?
I just spent 2 hours with the search on the site, found several who asked the same question but absolutely no answer...
So is it possible? (my thinking is it has to be other wise where did all the kitchen and other roms come from right?)

Configuring Extended ROM under newly released 3.35.651.2 ROM update

Hello all,
I have a Sprint Mogul (PPC-6800/HTC Titan) and recently updated to the new ROM posted on the HTC website (3.35.651.2). I'm somewhat of a newbie, although I've done some PPC Hacking and configuring with my previous phone PPC-6700.
Unlocking the Ext_ROM on that phone and editing the config.txt file was pretty straight forward with all of the posts on sites like these. I've had trouble finding posts on unlocking the Extended ROM on the Mogul and no post on editing the config.txt file.
I eventually found a program (Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool - see attached) on this site which appears to actually be for phones on another carrier, but it does help to unhide and unlock my Extended ROM.
Upon Unlocking the Extended ROM, I encountered the following .cab and other files:
AddContact
AddContest.exe
AutoRun.exe
Config.txt
DefaultRingtone.sa.CAB
GetGL.CAB
GroveMobile_plugIn.sa.CAB
Hidden.CAB
IOTA.CAB
MoveLnk.sa.CAB
Rilphone2.CAB
signed_071210_7500_SPCS_2.00_PRL60610.sa.CAB
And the contig.txt file (see attached) contains the following:
LOCK:Enabled
CPY1:\Extended_ROM\AddContact
CPY2:\Windows\AddContact
EXEC:\Windows\RUN_SPRINT_TSK.lnk
EXEC:\Extended_ROM\AddContacts.exe
CAB: \Extended_ROM\signed_071210_7500_SPCS_2.00_PRL60610.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\GetGL.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Hidden.CAB
EXEC:\Windows\PPST.exe
CAB: \Extended_ROM\IOTA.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Rilphone2.CAB
CAB: \Windows\AudibleAir_SprintPPC.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\GroveMobile_pulgIn.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\DefaultRingtone.sa.CAB
CAB: \Windows\ondemand_6800_boot.arm.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MoveLnk.sa.CAB
EXEC:\Windows\ChgScutAttri.exe
LOCK: Disabled
RST: Reset
My question is what is safe to remove and how can I update my config.txt file to maximize the performance of my Mogul.
Thanks.

A shame no one has responded yet, as I'd like to know the answers to these questions too! Haven't gotten around to unlocking my ROM yet, but it was quite simple on my PPC6700.

From what I know, you only need the IOTA, Hidden and signed_071210 cabs. IOTA.cab will enable Sprint data services, and signed(etc).cab/Hidden.cab installs ppst.exe and other files.
You will have to copy out your config.txt file to your computer, change the Read Only attribute, then edit as you wish. I've read you need to keep the "EXEC:\Windows\PPST.exe" entry in the config.txt file as it enables something with GPS. Once you're done editing the config.txt file, enable the Read Only attribute and copy back to the Ext_ROM folder, choosing to overwrite the existing one.
I would suggest copying the contents of your Ext_ROM folder first and saving it to your SD card or desktop before deleting/modifying anything, just in case you need something later.
Hope this helped.
