Help Please SDHCWM6WM5.ZIP - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi all
I have an o2 xda orbit pda and I downloaded from this website the program that allows you to expand the storage card memory for the phone.
Like it said in the readme file I installed SDHC.CAB and I then went to overwrite /windows sdbus.dll and sdmemory.dll.
On going to overwrite the first one it comes up
Cannot copy sdbus:There has been a sharing violation
The source or destination file may be in use.
But It isn't and I can't get it past that point
I then go to overwrite sdmemory.dll but it comes up:
Cannot copy sdmemory: Acess is denied
Make sure your mobile device has sufficient memory, that the file is not set as read only, and that you have permission to copy this file.
Can someone please explain what I am doing wrong as I have no idea.
Thanks in advance
Ryan

Anyone????
I have tried it 3 more times and the same message comes up again and again.

Install / run from storage card

I have an app created with pocketpccreations applications. This contains the
exe file, custom points(DLL's) and my own forms. I need to be able to send a
client a storage card with all the data on it.
When the card is installed the client has to find the exe file and create a
short cut to it within the programs folder. Is there a way to automates
this. EG when the card is put into the pocket pc automatically add a
shortcut to the exe file. Alternatively is there a method to copy all the
files to the internal memory and create a short cut to the exe file.
Any help or links appreciated.
Cheers
SteveW
Not my field really but if you make a directory named 2577 on the card the system looks in there for files to execute when card is inserted, as far as I know.
Take a look here for more details.

Got it working. Another question
Is there the equivalent of writing bat files. I need to run a bat file to add the program to the start up menu.
Any help appreciated.

google it - creates an installer OR you can create a cab file to do what you want
I have taken a look at both of these links but still can't seem to make sense of any of it. Okay I admit it maybe because of me, but I am looking for simialr info. I have Tom Tom5 & want to load it onto an SD card so that when I send it to whoever it will upload & install automatically onto the device. I know this can be done but the real question is HOW? Any help would be greatly appreciated but please keep it as simple as possible, a bit like me........ :lol:

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.

Guide to Cooking Universal Extended Rom with FILES

Hello,
I have read that some people have been having a bit of trouble with customising their extended rom on the Universal. So here is my attempt at creating a guide, as a way of saying THANKS to all who helped me in these forums to create my own customised ROM's on the blue angel and my current EXEC.
First thanks mainly to Buzz for the Ext Rom Unlocker and also to BeyondTheTech for the Disable Security Cab.
Also thanks to all other members who contributed their trials and files in the thread.
IMPORTANT - DO A BACKUP BEFORE DOING THIS AS A HARD RESET IS REQUIRED!!!!
Here Goes:
This is how i did it:
1. I created a folder on the desktop called Exec, and inside i created 2 folders called Orig Rom and Cooked Rom
2. I then downloaded the following 3 files and placed them into the Exec folder.
3. i copied the unlock policies and the ext rom unlocker onto sd card and copied them to the phone.
4. i ran the unlock policies cab first then the ext rom unlocker cab
5. under programs i clicked on ext rom unlocker to execute the file
6. it then said succesful and reboot to finsh
7. once rebooted install total commander from below.
8. i then ran total commander and typed in /extended_rom (note underscore) and it displayed the contents of the exteneded rom that originally came with the phone.
9. selected it all and copied the contents to SD card.
10. if you connect your phone directly to pc then you can copy the contents directly to the 'orig rom' folder you created earlier, or use card reader to do same.
11. either way you have the contents of the ext rom on the pc. i then deleted the contents of the Extended_Rom on the phone.
12. the next steps are done on the pc.
13. copy the autorun.exe and the config.txt file from the 'orig rom' folder to the 'cooked rom' folder.
14. copy all the CAB files that you want to be installed upon hard reset into the cooked rom folder aswell.
15. copy the disable security.cab file into the 'cooked rom' folder aswell
16. you will need to rename the cab files that you want installing in the following format:
Default_Unsigned_xxxxxx.cab where xxxxxx is the name of the file
17. if the cab files have long names then just rename them!
18. if you wanted to keep some of the original cabs from your extended rom then copy these into the 'cooked' folder aswell but leave their naming system alone ie:
Signed_UNI_Remove_BatteryIcon.sa.CAB
19. once these have been named as above open the config.txt file
20. it needs to be prepared into the following format :
LOCK:Enabled
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Default_Signed_DisableSecurity.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Default_Unsigned_tcpmp.arm_ce3.cab
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_SSD_BTUR_Patch_For_BT_Cannot_Initial.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Default_Unsigned_Porta-Pinball.CAB
RST: RESET
this is an extract from my config.txt file
21. i used the existing file and amended the entries, add/deleted some of the entries.
22. note the space between Cab: \ this is important.
23. also note that the first file that i wanted to install was the disablesecurity.cab file, without this the other 'personal' cabs will not install.
24. so once you have edited and saved your config.txt files making sure all spelling is correct (also an important thing otherwise the files dont install) and no warnings are issued either! you will have in your 'cooked rom' folder:
autorun.exe
config.txt
and several cab files
25. select all the files and then 'right click' on properties.
26. select the 'read-only' option and ok
27. i found that after the first install some of the cab files delete themselves! this prevents that from happening.
28. connect your phone to the pc
29. using active-sync Explore device and navigate to the Extended_Rom folder
30. copy all the contents of your 'cooked rom' folder into the Extended_Rom folder
31. once completed, disconnect the phone and perform a hard reset.
32. after you have aligned screen and done the start-up routine it will start installing your personallised cab files.!!
33. You should now have an Exec, customised with your own extended rom and as a bonus a complete back-up on your pc.
34. if ever you upgrade the phone rom/radio etc, all the software you need and the perosnlaised rom is ready to go.
if i have missed a step plz post back and i will edit my posts and put in there.
I cannot stress how important it is that you make a backup first before doing this as you will lose everything on the phone.
Bye for now!!!
Gr8 Work!!!
hi there this is a perfect guide well done m8
only one question as i have the jasjar and i-mate rom on it
i do not have the config.txt file
how do i tell the device to install my personal/third party cab files
thanx in advance
mail attachments
Thanks for the guide, however when i use total commander, extended rom is shown with the same symbol as storage card and I cannot get the mail programme to save attachments to the real storage card as the universal thinks the extended rom is the storage card.
How can the properties of the extended rom be changed so it does not appear to be a storage card ?
Thanks
Steve

I just renamed the required cab file by adding "Default_" to it. That did it.
Thanks
But I have been through the thread numerous time.
The mail programme thinks the extended rom is the storage card.
The thread has a fix to hide the extended rom so the mail programme now saves attachements onto the real storage card.
It just seems a shame to have gone to all the trouble to unlock and make visisble the extended rom, just to hide it again so the mail programme can save onto the real storage card.
Am I missing something. Simple guidance PLEASE.

When the hard reset is done the whole point is for the Extended Rom to be hidden again. This ensures that at any point in the future if a hard-reset is required then the phone is setup agian as you want it.
At the moment the Extended_rom partitrion cannot be used as a storage space , and i believe Buzz is working on that.
So my guide illustrates deleting existing rom, and replacing with personalised rom and then hiding it agian.
Above this thread is a link to Buzz's small tutorial to alllow attachemnts to be saved back to storage card instead of the Extended Rom for those who want to leave it Un-Hid.
Regarding those without a config.txt file then renaming everything to Default_xxxxx.cab does the trick.
thanks
This is a GREAT thread. Hats off to you.
Personally, I think I'm going to add the T-Mobile USA Internet Settings cab to "cooked" stuff (I'm in the US).
Does anyone have a cab that will set up the gmail pop settings (w/ generic un/pass of course)? Lazy, yes, but I'm just trying to make any refresh that I would ever need to do that much simpler
i have another question as we have a lot of good registry tweaks....
is it really that hard to create cab files for those registry settings and just throw those in the extRom
regards

my problem is that in wm5.0 there is no config.txt file to tell the os what to install from the ext rom, i unlocked the ext rom and moved all contents to pc, i also deleted all the existing files from it, and i have all my cabs ready, but the problem is how to tell the installer to take these cabs instead of the origionals?
does it take it automatically, or should i do something to make it install my personalised ext rom?

If you dont have a config.txt file then you need to rename your cab files in the following format:
Default_xxxxxx.cab where xxxxx is the name of your file. this has been found to work in your phone.
thanks
many thanx to u.
this worked just fine.
cheers

Missing ini_tray + CapNotify + unable to copy = problems

Hello all,
If you could help id be appreciated :
Now that i have installed the latest ROM, i have a few issues i wonder if anyone could help. I have the O2 XDA MINI S
1. I have deleted init_try.exe and so have lost the battery meter at teh bottom of the screen. Can anyone post the UK version for O2 so i can reinstate it. I have tried running POWERTRAY from the \Windows directory, but this is only a picture and doesnt say in words the % left. Plus it is removed after reset.
2. I have CapNotify.exe in the \windows\Startup folder, but cant get it to work. Any ideas. I click it but nothig happens
3. Every so often i copy a program onto my XDA Mini e.g "PHM Registry" it says "CANNOT COPY PHM RESISTRY MAKE SURE YOUR MOBILE DEVICE HAS SUFFICIENT MEMORY , THAT THE FILE IS NOT SET TO READ-ONLY AND THAT YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO COPY THE FILE.", but my memory isnt full, and if i change it not read-only it doesnt work when i run it on my XDA
please help, id appreciate any ideas
Ta
.
Find enclosed the two files from my rom - should work with yours.
You need to place a init_tray.lnk file in you windows\startup directory and the files in the windows directory.
Normally when you click on capnotify.exe nothing happens - check caps/shift works on keyboard.

The read me file says that I need ActiveSync for the process of installation but I have a Mac and don't have that. I was wondering if somebody here could make a .cab file with those files for me? Honestly that game was purchased by me and I have proof just in case somebody needs to verify it b4 helping me. If this request is not allowed in this forum, Mods, please delete this thread. Thanks in advance...

if you can run the .exe in a virtual pc, even without active sync, it 'should' install the cabs and such into a subfolder of /program files/, ready to be installed on th ephone next time it connects (which of course it wont). you can then browse to that folder, find the arm cab, and copy that to your sd card.
try 7zip and open up the exe and see if the cab is in there just extract it thats what ive done with a few things
Thank you guys.
