Problem with cab files on touch dual - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General

Ok I know this sounds like a typical newbie question but I haven't come across a problem installing cabs before.
A friend has just got a touch dual on orange and can't install any cab files on the device.
I naturally thought he must be doing something wrong as it's the first windows device he's had.
I showed him how to tap on the cab file. Nothing happens. tried again.double tapped.nothing.
I copied the cab to internal memory and still wouldn't install. this was with a cab for a larger keyboard and a game he downloaded.
I know I thought. I will try some cabs from my memory card that I have installed on other pocket pc phones.
I tried smart explorer. nothing happens. The screen flashed briefly then just shows the normal file manager screen.
Is there something different on the touch dual in the way it handles cab files ?
He does have a zip file manager listed in his program manager that I haven't seen before but trying to use this to do something with the cab doesn't do anything either.
I looked at the wiki and did a search under this forum for cab but couldn't find any info.
google search just offers info on how to install cabs which is, as explained not the problem.
The phone just doesn't seem to recognise the cab file and so won't install any.
Help and advice warmly received.
Thanks.
Mrmond.

see what you saying. orange do lock their roms but this still allows signed cabs to be installed with a message do you want to install this program ?
I have app unlocked 4 types of spv/htc phones.
I have tried a cab files that is signed for orange handsets.
I get no message asking if I want to install or that it's from an unrecognised source (unsigned).
Usually after any warning message,if any youget given an opton to install to phone storage or memory card. this htc touch isn't even bringing up any kind of dialogue as to what to do with the cab AT ALL. Not even telling me I can't install because of security permissions which is what I would expect if the problem is to do with app locking etc.
As to sda-application unlocker. Is there a link to a version that will definately work with the touch ? Found some older versions searching the forum.

GPRS Monitor

I cannot install GPRS Monitor from myO2 CD, it says i need to update my ROM, i did a corporate install btw
Anyone else had any probs?
Another forum member had this same problem when installing the ClearVuePDF Reader also supplied by o2 as part of the HTC application suite. He has the MDA, but flashed with the o2 Exec ROMs and then installed in Corporate mode.
From work we did together, it appears to be just the install program that was not validating his device. When I tried a hard-reset and Corporate mode install, I had no problems installing. However, its beginning to look as though a hard-reset does not totally clear the Exec's memory. In his case, I found all the individual files and registry settings needed for ClearVuePDF to run and he copied those to the device. Runs perfectly for him like that.
So I'm afraid you'll have to find somebody with the o2 version of GPSMonitor installed and get them to determine all the files/locations and registry-settings needed to get it to run. Unfortunately I don't have a GPRS connection or GPRSMonitor installed.
Just a thought. Have you yet tried a full o2 Personal mode install on your device? It just might be this action that puts 'something' in memory that is not cleared by a hard-reset, and that 'something' might be what the install program is looking for.
Sorry that I can't be more helpful.
No problem thanks for your help

I did a basic install and I get the same error. Sorry, Not much help though.

Me too. The ClearVuew PDF reader is rubbish! Text misalighed all over - Adobe with pixel doubling is better than this.
Please try this
Could one of you having a problem to install the o2 supplied GPRSMonitor, please try installing the attached .CAB after copying it to your device.
This CAB is extracted from the CD-ROM install program, so hopefully skips the validation stuff. With luck you might be able to get around the failed validation by installing from this CAB.
Note: Even if asked to install to Storage Card, the o2 supplied version (2.3.0 build 600) puts very little there, most goes into device memory. The current version 2.41 from spb will obey the instruction to install to SD-Card, but wasn't reliable when run from there - the monitoring part aborted four times in 10-minutes whilst I was playing with it.
Unfortunately, since I don't have the install problem, I can't test this install out.
It works a treat. Thanks muchly!

Am I glad about that - I was in the midst of trying to locate all the files/registry entries needed for a manual install.
Perhaps I can go to bed now! :wink:
I also managed to 'locate' another copy and it works fine, thanks for all the help.

I can confirm this but with other files. After several hard resets (even with the clear storage icon), the pictures I had taken were still there.

Ouch! I didn't realsie it was as bad as that.
The situation is made worse by the backup program I'm using (Sunnysoft Backup Manager) not backing up all the data and settings. Neither does it perform a true restore - just merges the backup with what's there after the hard-reset.
Unfortunately, I'm used to HP's backup applet from the Jornada 928; which performed a total backup/flush restore. Are there any other applets for WM5/universal that really performs a full backup/restore?
Does anyone have this cab please? I have just bought a new O2 exec and am having the same problem with it saying my ROM version is too old!!
sorry ignore that post! Work computer blocked the file out
I am running my XDA EXEC in basic mode. When I tried copying the .cab file to my device and running it from there , still get the problem.
Any suggestions ?
I was running personal mode then switched to basic mode, could this cause the problem.
Thanks for you replies in advance.
Cannot remove GPRS monotr app
I installed this file to test it out om M3000. Unfortuntely I cannot seem to uninstall it now! It doesnt show up in my Program list - How do you uninstall it?
I looked in the \\windows folder and removed all files and shoretcuts I could find, but its still showing up on my 'today' screen with an error.
Any ideas? The registry?
Cheers

Linuxgeek:
I was also getting the ROM version problem installing programs to my SD card on my O2 exec. Since I'd only just added the card and was running the basic installation, I did the following:
1) Hard reset
2) Personal Install
3) Re-install ActiveSync on PC
This did the trick. Thankfully I like the Personal install best anyway, but I don't know if that step was necessary.
Tried it. Still get the problem :-(
My mistake - I managed to install the Clearvue PDF program, not the GPRS monitor program. I'm still getting the ROM version error with the GPRS monitor program, but I've not tried the above download yet.
Anyone got any other ideas to fix this problem.
Shame O2 don't have an update to fix this problem on their website.
I've now tried the CAB posted above by astage and I can confirm it worked for me. Just copy the CAB to your device and then open it to start the install.

Issue - unable to install an ExtRom Cab (not signed?)

Hi all,
I'm trying to install an ExtRom cab from Orange French rom which include the PVPlayer (necessary for live TV).
However, I get a message "install was unsuccessful .... not digitally signed with a trusted certificate"...
I've run Buzz ExtRom unlocker tool with success, but now I dunno what to do to install this cab.
Anyone can help me on this?
Thanks
mm, tried various time and no success
I think i'm missing how works ext rom...
Nobody can help me on this?

Try to copy all that you need to have into the extended rom folder, inclusive of the config.txt file (make sure the parts that you want are referred to in this txt).
Do a hard reset and let your device customize automatically.
If it does not work, try with all original extended rom files.
Ok, so it can't be installed like any programs... you need to install them at the same time as the rom after a hard reset.
Damn, should have asked before then, now I have so many things installed...
I guess I'll try to find another way before trying this.
Thanks anyway for your reply!

With some you can, with others you cannot. I think it has got something to do with loading the certificates first before you can install the signed versions of the cabs in the ex-rom.
You could try to install the certificates cab (is you can find which one that is) and then install the signed cab after it.
Let us know if and how it works!
Bon Success!
I should be able to find a cert cab somewhere... that's a good idea, I'll try this and let you know.
Thanks :wink:
Well I have installed two cert cabs :
Cert_SPCS.cab (from LokiWiz tools)
and PP_Certificate_OR_Jan23_Wizard.cab (from Orange Ext Rom)
But nothing changed before and after soft reset
I don't understand why adding this screen rotate icon on tray is signed...
The other cab I want to install is the PVplayer used for live TV.
Must be a simple way to install those cabs.

I should try this then, so I have to make the Ext rom folder appear with Buzz tools, then copy what I want in it and hard reset right?

PVP player does not work with my dopod rom.
Wow thanks, it worked this time and I have now that screen rotate thing in my tray bar... great !!!!
How did you do this, did you took it from another extrom? or did you signed it somehow?
anyway, about PVPlayer, I suceeded to install one (in attachement), but I need to pass through pocket IE and Orange web to click on a live tv link (then I think it open the pvplayer).
But it didn't worked with the one I installed, I guess something was missing to make the link between IE and PVP
That's why I wanted to try the cab in orange fr extrom (also in attachment).
Well anyway, thanks you very much for the above cab that worked, at last I have the screen rotate on Today screen !!

No, it comes standard unsigned with the NL Orange ex-rom.
Glad it worked out for you.
Hi, me again on this topic...
So I have modified the ext rom so that at the hard reset it could install that cab (which I have attached to my last post):
MP-Shortcut-MMS1-JAVA5XX-CV-VOICE-PVPLAYER-Orange-FR-060118.CAB
But it seems that it has not worked since I have no PVplayer installed on my prophet... maybe the signature is prohibing the install from ext rom too.
Well, is there anyway to remove the signature of this cab or install a signature on it so that it could be installed on my dopod rom ?
Is there a cert cab I could use to install the sig on the prophet and then install this cab?
sorry if my question seems stupid, quite new on that part.
Thanks
Hey, i got the I-mate JAMin, but there's no config.txt in the EXtRom. ANybody knows the language and the way it should be coded?
not sure about this, I've seen 2 ext rom so far and both had text files config.txt or something...
But that's a bit of topic :wink:

I have the same problem with the Dutch Orange version when installing on the Dopod ROM. It does install, but I get a "non-imaged" icon in my programs folder that gives me a error message when I click it.
I have decided to forget about it all together.
Robin
I've unlocked my Jamin extended ROM and deleted "ALL" the files in it. Then I did a hrd reset and guess what..... all the files were restored.
This means that there is another ROM that the files are stored in even if you delete or cook the ext Rom, hard rest just igores it totally.
I guess i'll just wait for the possibility to go back to the orange rom from the dopod one :?

HTC Touchflo not installed :S

Hey guys. I bought a clone HTC Touch 3G from Davismicro.com
Basically, I've watched videos on the net and have seen people use these clones, and they come with HTC TouchFlo/Manilla 2D. Mine however, did NOT come with it installed. It just boots to the regular windows 6.1 pro menu.
Normally, I'd email the company but theyre on chinese newyear holiday. Can anyone please help me on tell me how to get touchflo installed on this device?
(If the device is a clone, its a pretty good clone. HTC Branding everywhere.)
EDIT: By not installed, I mean it is not on the phone. So it looks like I'll need the ROM or theme of it somehow. Help pleaseeeeee?

You can easily install TF2D (M2D). If you search XDA, you can get the cab files.
Thank you. Is there a step by step process? (I am unsure what to run/install once I would have the files on my phone.)

You can download the application from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398173
How to, basically..
1) download the .cab file to your PC and transfer it to your phone.
2) on your phone, run the .cab file and it will auto install.
3) after that, you can leave the .cab file or delete it.
Where is the .cab file on that link? When I click the blue "DOWNLOAD" letters, it leads me to a forum. I don't know what to get from the form. I'm new to all this.
EDIT: I got the cab from a post on that seperate forum on the DOWNLOAD link.
MY only issue is: After installing, the phone just says "Touch here to launch TouchFLO". I have a "clone" of a HTC Touch 3G, and I am running Win 6.1, and the MD2 is what I believe to be the newest version. I've searched here, and people mention to download some shared dll's or something. I have no idea what to do.
I downloaded the .cab file from the mobility digest forum post called "UPDATE 5-29-09 COMING SOON - FIXING ERRORS on Jade Manila 2D Build 1.20.19131520.0"
at "This is the link to m2d cab here: 2DManila_1_20_19131530_00"
EDIT 2: I downloaded cracing's m2d for non htc cell phones. And it works, but it seems kinda slow, and doesnt autorun. (Every startup, I have to enable it again. Any help on this? (The m2d for non htc cell phone is just an .exe that I run.). Plus I need to download like all of these programs to avoid getting errors. :S
EDIT3:Web Browser does not load through cracings m2d, albumsearcher.exe cannot be found, weather says its 36 degrees even though its WINTER (Obviously in fahrenheit. How do I change it to celsius?), and settings has all these blank buttons (which have little pictures of the phone beside them. How do I fix all this?
I am not sure how else to help you. I've installed on HTC Kaiser without any problem.
Your problems could be due to the clone set.
Ive got it all working now. Except I have an unrelated problem. Text messages work fine, but whenever I try to make a phone call it says "Phone: The operation failed".
Ive read online that this is because the phone is trying to send data while making the phone call. I do NOT have a data plan, and data service under the settings is 'OFF'. (I cant even turn it on. If I try, it just auto turns off after.)
Help?
edit: i got it to work. somehow. i had to turn everything off in settings, and then on again. :S Maybe the phone needed data service off eventhough it already was. Hmmph.
i have the same problems as Lyth.
AlbumSearcher can not be found or doesn't have a certificate.
in an older version it worked. but there were a lot of shell errors.
does anybody know how to fix it?

App Unlock cab. for Tmobile HD2

I am still having problems installing most cabs. Only a few are working for some reason? I have searched and searched and can't find any help. Is there an app unlock that will work on my Tmobile HD2? I saw one for the Tilt2 but not sure if it would work on mine. I could use some help this is driving me crazy.
Thanks

Are you trying to unlock DEMO's? Kindly explain more what does this app do as i am curious what it is? If you are, this forum does not allow it.
I know that some cabs. require a soft reset after installing but my problem is most cabs won't install. The download fine but then say uninstallable. They are good clean cabs like BsB Tweaks and several others from here, also I tried from sites like pocketpc.net and still they won't install. A very few do and one I tried was sdkcerts hoping that maybe I'd get lucky but it didn't help. I'm not trying to install any trials or anything. I don't know what else to do, I have searched and searched and haven't found anything that works yet. I'm not that proficient that I feel comfortable flashing anything yet. I love the phone but not being able to install most things sucks. Tweaking the phone is one of my favorite things, I'll work up to flashing later hopefully. If anyone can help I could sure use it.
@N1M1TZ: I can vouch that amstaff's intentions are legit, we've just been unable to get most any cabs to install for him so far.
@amstaff: I'm honestly believing that with everything else we've tried, it's proabably time to try a hard-reset...I haven't turned up anything else that could address your problem (no app unlock, etc). It's actually a very simple procedure, and has often cleared up odd issues that defy every other attempt. The only downside is that it resets any tweaks etc that you've done since starting, but if you're having trouble installing everything anyway, I'm guessing you haven't been able to make too many changes. You'll just want to back up your contacts (easy), and see if this forces your phone to behave. We'll be happy to help you through the process if you want.
Does your uSD card have a write lock switch? Not sure if the card that came from Tmous had one or not. I am using a C6 card which doesn't happen to have one. Anyway, another thing to check as this can disallow write access to the SD card.
Another thing to try is copying the cab file to internal memory, turning off the phone, removing the SD card then trying to install in internal memory without the SD card in the phone. You can always uninstall it if you wanted it on the card but this should rule out some problems.
Sirphinkee-I went ahead and tried a hard reset, you're right it didn't really matter since I have only been able to install a few things. It still has the same problem.
Decim8-I looked at my card and there is no lock on it. I don't think that would be the problem anyway since it does install a few cabs. That's what I don't understand I can't figure out why it will a couple but so many others it won't? I know the cabs. are legit cabs. and they are from reliable sources and people. It's better than 90% of the cabs. I'd like to install keep saying uninstallable. I tried your suggestion of installing to the phone directly without having the sd card in and still they won't install. Downloading them to card or to hard drive is no problem only the installation.
Has anyone heard of an App Unlock cab. for the T-mobile HD2? I just don't know what else to do, I don't want to flash as I don't know that much yet and I saved for quite a while to get this phone and a HD2 brick would be terrible.
Thanks for the ideas so far guys-

There is no "app unlock" cab. It make no sense that some cabs install and some don't. Are you making sure that they are cabs and not zip files? And you are leaving the cab files together... not un-zipping the cabs? (cab files will look like a rar or zip file on your pc.) All the files you are using are single files ending in .cab, right? And you are copying them over to your device, then launching them from your device?

They aren't zipped. I had a Fuze before this phone and never had a problem like this one. I'm doing the same thing with this HD2 as I did with it. I download to the sdcard, then try to install. I've downloaded to card and tried to install to card, I've downloaded to card and tried to install to device, I've downloaded to device and tried to install to device it's always the same thing.

Java Unlock for HD2
I get certificate messages when trying to install unsigned Java apps. Particularly mTorrent. cant be authorized because c=us;o=verisign, inc;ou=class 3 public primary certification is disabled.
Possible solution
The same happened to me when I first got the phone. I found a solution in this. First back up all your data from the SD Card. This is really important as yo will loose everything that's on the card. After, Format the SD Card to Fat 32.
Now import all the cabs to the SD Card and install them.
If for some reason you still cant get the to run try this cab. They are certificates that help overcome the security locks.
I have the same issue. Tried downloading/test a couple of different adroid builds and after a restart found the file "is not singed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found."
Cab install - solved
Had issues with this previously. Had to do a hard reset with the power + up/down volume buttons at startup.
This corrected the issues with cabs being locked out.

Can't boot 'Droid' on TMOUS HD2 keep getting software not trusted cert

Hi, ( i hope this is the right forum for this or if not can someone please help me or direct me to the right now to resolve this) just wondering if anyone(s) out there that had this problem after they had any of the TMOUS HD2 'Driods' hacks installed on a SD card, had it running for a while, then turn off your phone, try to restart and get this error (this is occuring on both the CLRCAD and HARET programs) "The File 'XXXX" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem preresist, try reinstalling or restoring this file". i have already formatted and reinstalled the files on the SD card and been to most of the forums here about this issue for their resolution. (all with no luck) If there anyone out there with a simple resoultion (hopefully nothing too complex like a reg hack) can you please help me out with this issue. Thanks in advance
Is haret and the clr cab on the root and the Android files inside the Android folder?
Don't know much more than that. Try a diff winmo Rom I guess.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
All of the files are still in the same directory and tried different ROMs, like i mentioned i had it running well for a while until i shut down the phone. Dont know if the "'Driod' hacks" or some unkown "update" from T-moble had something to do with it...
I have the same problem and I have also tried the same fixes you have I dont know what to do hopefully we can get a solution.
Perhaps try SDA unlocker? It removes the need for .CAB's or .exe's to be signed with a certificate. Either search the forums here or Google for "SDA Unlocker", download it, connect your phone via USB, and run the program to remove the lock.
Doesn't bsb tweats get rid of that. It'll let you run install unsigned cabs.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I don't remember, I have always just used SDA unlocker with every device i've ever owned with a stock ROM.
Can yall please shoot me a link to bsb tweats or sda unlocker so I can get this android running again asap thanks
alright this is getting real weird just to give you an update I found sdk certificates and it didnt install I tried restarting and installing it on the sd card and phone memory. I also found bsb tweak and it didnt install. I downloaded .net 3.5 but it said I have and updated version already so I completely dont know what to do all I want is the android to work again. Also just to let you know I have tried other build s of the android just to troubleshoot they all say the same thing now not signed with trusted certificate or one of its components is missing. It seems like tmobile blocked it. I truly need someones helps can you please give me an answer
09099090009090
I'm having the same problem, but only after I switch back to WinMo from Android.
This also is happening to me. I am unable to install any .cabs from the memory card. I installed HD2Tweak earlier and now it gives the same error. I can install from Windows Market.... What gives?
