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?

HTC Messaging Client

@ admin: if this thread is not in the right forum, please feel free to move it. I am not sure where to put it.
Guys,
I found a new version of the HTC Messaging client version HTCMessaging_Client_1_8_20152127_00. It is a part from a new rom version 2015. I have all the files (see attachment), but I don't know how to make a cab file from it. Also I am not sure if all the files are the correct WWE files.
Anybody to help?

these are not WWE

This HTC Messaging Client is from a CHT ROM, right? If that's the case, it might not support other characters than CHT ones! Had such an issue when I tried a SKT-based Messaging Client from Leo_SKT_1.78.911.1 ROM!

I can make a cab for you, but what's news on this version?

New version is MUCH faster... It's now realy usable. Still a lot of bugs while receiviing sms is messaging window.
CAB have proper 409 mui and send button:
Disable Manila > install > reset > Enable Manila

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6780053#post6780053
here the cab!
sorry i don't see the post of krogoth! Choose your cab so

how come the file size is so different. 6.68mb vs 2.32mb

Hum now my cab is about 3.3Mo (i update it (V2)) i use compress and he uses normal!

krogoth's .cab installs on energyRom rhodium, plain 2.5 on 23xxx. still checking features, but seems to be fine so far. I'll report speed after restoring SMS from MyPhone.
G-ThGraf's .cab installs, but does not integrate with NRGZ28's sense.

Thanks for the cab! This is a version without the secure box. Can you please make a cab with the mui for secure box included?
Thanks again, anyway.

I have not tested it yet, but here's HTC Messaging Client v1.8.2016 from the Rom that has Manila 2015 core. I included the 0409 files I use with V1.8.2015. (This is an EXT package is someone wants to create a cab from it)
I also attached the Send key files so you have the send icon, instead of the CHT text where the send icon should be.

i can work on it but i'm curently using manila core 2013

I am desperately waiting for this cab.. Did anyone make a cab out of this..

hey G-ThGraf,
i cant seem to get this to work and i have several questions which i'd really appreciate if you could enlighten me.
1) what is the difference between 2015 and 2016, and why the 1 vs 3 mui files?
2) are the steps to delete and restore messages necessary for the installl to work or are they in place to simply protect ones messages? i ask because i dont care about my messages and it is a bit of a pain to delete, save, restore.
3) regardless of how i attempt to do this i always end up with one of two results:
a) i cannot access my text message application at all
b) i can briefly open the text message app, but it quickly closes and i cannot actually access any messages
if it helps at all:
1) i run spb wms3.5.5 and have sense disabled 100% of the time
2) im on a tmous 2.13 rom, stock.
not sure if there is any further pertinent info but i'd love to get this working and it seems others with my setup have it working.
id really appreciate your feedback.
thanks

UPDATE:
ive made great strides. despite the fact that i never have sense enabled, this is indeed an integral step in the process (otherwise i just got lucky). so here were my steps to success:
1) back up text messages using spb backup
2) permanently delete all messages
3) disable sense (it was already disabled)
4) soft reset
5) install cab (which was transferred to microSD beforehand)
6) press cancel after install to decline restart
7) DID NOT INSTALL THE MUI
8) soft reset
9) enable sense
10) DIDNT BOTHER TO RETRIEVE MY MESSAGES YET
11) Soft reset
12) checked that messaging worked IN sense (and that is was 1.8)
13) DISABLED sense and now this seems to be working perfectly in SPB winmo shell 3.5.5
updates to follow as i progress deeper down the rabbit hole.

Apps Installation

Helo everyone. I'm new to the forum and to Windows Mobile. I hope this question is in the correct place....don't want to get bashed on my first post. I have searched for about an hour now for the answer to my question but I can't find anything that relates to my problem. I am trying to install a converter..."Pocket Converter 1.50" on my TMobil USA HTC HD2. After downloading the cab file into a folder...a screen pops up that says "installation of Pocket Converter 1.50 was unsuccessful". OK...I then tryed one called "MSS Converter 1.08. Same thing happened with it too. I have successfully installed other apps so I was wondering what might be the problem.

I have had the same issue a couple of times. I think sometimes the download gets corrupted. I just redownload and usually the app will install.

Thanks for replying......I've downloaded these 2 apps numerous times and on different days but still no luck. Do you think I could download them to my computer then copy them over to the phone and install?

That may be a good idea, other than that maybe try and download from another source. I think also some apps have issues with the hd2.

signman, do you have links to the exact cabs you tried, so I can test them on mine?
What kind of converter program are those? If they're for converting units of measurement, I use the uConvert app which works great on the HD2, and was developed by an xda member...I've attached the cab here for you to try if that's what you're looking for.

i used to have this happen to me all the time when i downloaded the cab directly from my hd2. Try using a pc to download it then transfer via usb and install. Hope it works!

Sorry for taking so long to post back...as I couldn't find my post!
The links to the apps I am trying to download are as follows...

I finally got the MSS Converter downloaded and installed from another website. Can't remember where I got it. I'm going to try to get your posted cab directly to my phone and try that one. Well that didn't work. Installation says it was unsuccessful. Maybe I have to do it like jfmckenna has suggested. Thanks for helping me out guys...I really appreciate it.

If all these installs are failing, I'm guessing you're either missing the NetCF 3.5, or the sdkcerts cab, both are attached below. These are necessary to run many of the apps/cabs you'll find here and at other sites like freewarepocketpc.net. Just put the cabs on your SD card (I recommend just putting all the ones you install in a folder there for easy reference later), and run each one, then you'll probably be able to install the stuff that was giving you issues.

cab files
I've downloaded the cab files you posted but the NetCFv35 says I have to first remove the older version. How do I remove the older version? I know nothing about Windows Mobil...sorry.

Right...I forgot that it was already loaded on the stock ROM, you can skip that signman.
m'lord, I would suggest installing the sdkcerts...it will probably be necessary for you at some point if you're installing any homebuilt apps. I suspect that most custom ROM's would have it built in.

Flash Lite
Sirphunkee. I managed to get your uConvert installed but it is trying to install Flash Lite. That install does not work...I get a "error installing Flash Lite". Is there anything else I can do? I downloaded Flash Lite to my computer and copied it to my phone. Still won't work.

I used a Flash Lite cab file posted on the forum for my fix. Thanks everybody for your help.

Ok good, I'm glad you got it working (I'd forgotten it wants flash light installed to get it to work). Does uConvert cover everything you need then?

[SOLVED] Zune Mango update?

Is anyone having success flashing Mango on their HD2 through Zune?
I was able to use the "force" method to update to NoDo (7392). But Zune will not find any more or the Mango update no matter how many times I try the "force" procedure.
I've installed the latest drivers through Windows Update.

Its a known fix for some including myself..send the devicepro.cab via cab sender and then hopefully zune should find 7720

I've never been able to figure out how to install cabs on my HD2/WP7. What is the procedure for using can sender?
Here is what I get when I try to install the cab.

Wow haven't seen that error code before
when u download the folder there should be a tool update folder select x64 or x84 according to your pc
Download device pro.cab place in folder no other cabs and hit the cab sender

Okay...so I put the device pro in the x64 folder, then run cab sender?
EDIT - still no go. Zune still won't find any other update after NoDo.
The screenshot of the folder is where I put the device pro cab.

I finally figured it out. I put the cab sender file in the x64 tools folder and also the device pro file in there and hit cab sender. It updated and then began the OS update. 7403 was first then 7720.
However, after installing 7720, it rebooted for the purpose of checking for more updates. The phone froze after booting. Now there is a cleanup update for the beta files but it errors out.

Well done...you were not meant to put them in that folder but if it works then why not...have you installed the beta update then? So the devicepro.cab made a difference
Zune can be very tempermental, with the beta update i manage to install it after 8 or 9 tries...in guest account reserve space 15 % and on welcomepage..

Yeah, thanks for help. But I need to know how to send cabs to my HD2 with Mango. I'm not succeeding. Can you please explain in detail where the necessary files need to be and what files need to be there?
I'm trying to remap the buttons so that the call button is set for the camera and found a cab for it, but I can't get it to install.
Eh...nevemind, I accidentally figured it out. Thanks for all the help, though.

you need to put the cab (OEM_DEV_KEYBOARD_2.cab or OEM_DEV_KEYBOARD_3.cab) that you want to send into the "WP7 Update Cab Sender" folder, next to the WP7 Update Cab Sender.bat file and the tools and logs folders.
Delete or remove any previous cabs that are there.
edit; oops i am getting slower, well done

IMPORTANT:
If you are having issues with the lockscreen settings or selecting the theme color, make sure all your language cabs have been updated.
This is usually caused by missing a langauge cab

Like title says: WP7.8 is out, has anyone gotten an update, without installing via cabsender?
The important question is if there are any oem updates out, and if there are if anyone can capture their urls.
Edit: my install history: shipped with 7720 -> manually updated to 8773 -> manually updated to 8858, it installs and seems to be working fine with 7720 drivers.
Need to test more thoroughly though, but it installed and boots.

Tried updating using the force update method, Zune came back with "Update ready for 7.10.8779.8", which I tried to update to, but then during the backup the update failed. I'm pretty sure the 7.10.8779.8 is a Nokia only update, but I am not sure.
Will try updating again over the next few days, see what happens.

8779 is a generic update, and it always has been.
It was simply not released widely and noone bothered to leak the update urls.
You have to upgrade though 8779 to get to 8858, everyone that recieved updates to 8858 did so

"Simply open Zune and go to the Settings. Now instead of just clicking on the 'Update' button and waiting, what you need to do is disconnect your computer from the internet while Zune is still checking for the update. You need to do this about 3-4 seconds after you see the 'Checking for Updates' progress bar pop up. It may take a few tries, but eventually it should work."

Just updated unlocked T-Mobile Dell Venue Pro using Cab Sender method. Worked like a charm!

IT WORKED!!!!
My backup was taking too long on the force update method, so I deleted all my music and videos and some of the apps, then had to perform the force update method 3 times, and the last update was 7.8!!

What does that mean? I dont use my VP as a primary.
Do you mean that for a contact with 2 stored phone numbers it doesnt allow you to enter it/it doesnt pick it up when searching/something else?

Hi Manii, in Windows Phone 7.8, you're able to save a contact with
Mobile
Home
Home 2
Work
Work 2
Company
Pager
Home fax
Work fax
However, on Windows 8 you have one more field: Mobile 2. The shortcoming from Windows 7.8 is, once one of my friend has more than 1 number, I will have to store the second one as "Home", not "Mobile 2" and this number can not be texted directly (SMS).
We can workaround it, however stock support is better for sure!

You're right about that: I can confirm that mobile 2 is strangely missing, WP7 itself simply does not support it.
You can add "mobile 2" via the win8 people app or the the people section of live.com and it simply does not appear.
MS/Live accounts simply are not able to handle custom labels on fields period, if you're like me and use gApps as your primary account source and have custom labels: they simply do not appear at all via live connected apps (wp7/win8/live.com).
You would need either to be less descriptive or have multiple entries to replicate the same thing via live accounts.
You cant even manually create a "mobile 2" label and expect it to show up under wp7.
You would need to completely bypass live accounts to add custom fields, it's an inherent limitation of live.
That or live with the fact you would simply have no way of syncing at least that to live.

"Simply open Zune and go to the Settings. Now instead of just clicking on the 'Update' button and waiting, what you need to do is disconnect your computer from the internet while Zune is still checking for the update. You need to do this about 3-4 seconds after you see the 'Checking for Updates' progress bar pop up. It may take a few tries, but eventually it should work."

If you're already on Tango (8773), just download these CABs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37384687&postcount=1478, repeating procedure separately for each update pack. Actually, I always used English (US) language, so downloaded only corresponding packages:
For first update downloaded:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/software/dflt/2012/05/diff-7.10.8773.98-7.10.8779.8-armv7-retail-microsoft.pks_b9598a098a3a4e902d043cef778a79ff3e6b0869.cab
http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/software/dflt/2012/05/diff-7.10.8773.98-7.10.8779.8-armv7-retail-microsoft.lang_0409.pks_4d87f62a11c7898a516df7563a9333e1082fad57.cab
And installed using CAB Sender (for instructions on using it, look at this post).
Then, did the same for two other update packs.
Second one:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/software/dflt/2012/10/diff-iucorefixed-7.10.8779.8-7.10.8783.12-armv7-retail-microsoft.pks_8a50b92b21951c7baf9f3600cea8c77e0918021f.cab
Third one:

Of course, if you use other language than English (US), you will need other lang packs from each update as well (notice *lang_0409* in package names here).
After installing 3rd update pack, you will be successfully running Windows Phone 7.8.
Good luck!

ya it works, I got my Tmobile DVP up using the cab sender method to 7.8.
Someone wanna comment on the firmware for the bootloader/radio etc?
Here are my Specs:
OS: 7.10.8858.136
Firmware: 2250.1800.7720.219
Hardware: 112.576.2.0
Radio: 2.2.50.18
Bootloader: 7.27.1.0
To be honest I feel that 7.8 made the device slower for me. 7.5 Mango was much faster. Just my experience.
