Uploading large files (or many files) with phpBB using HTTP POST is a pain. I created a new feature where attachments can now be uploaded using FTP .
[ftp_upload.gif]
Simply FTP to 'xda-developers.com', username 'xdaupload', password 'xda' and put the file in the root directory (do not create subdirs). Then use the '... or select a recently FTP-uploaded file ...' dialog (which is only present if files were uploaded) in the 'Add an Attachment' part of the message posting page to add the attachment.
Please don't attach other people's files, as they can only be attached once. Any files still in the temporary directory and not attached to a message are automatically deleted after 24 hours.
NOTE/2005-04-26: ftp username has been changed to xdaupload
maybe it's stupid but I can NOT attach any file, I have even placed the file in the root directory of xda-developrs.com
the file itself occupies 118k but so far I am apparently out of luck ... any idea how to fix it ??
diminishing the size of JPG does not help

YUP...GOT IT!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR PETER!
Just had a few problems with this - is there a file size limit other than the ones on the limits page? I uploaded a 2MB png file, but it kept coming back with an error when I tried to attach it.
Use the ftp site and link the file in your post.
Yep, I did that - the files uploaded OK, but when I came to add the attachements, it threw an error:
Upload Error: Could not upload Attachment to ./files/nbefore.png.
The file should still be there if you want to have a go...
by link I meant:
Link the Ftp link to the file in your post (copy link).
Ah I see. Will the files not get cleared down overnight then? Not a problem as I can host the files myself, I was just wondering if I could get the nice BBS attachment snippet.
Upload Error: Could not upload Attachment to ./files/wm2k5_2.01a.32ger_xda2_himalaya.rar
Upload Error: Could not upload Attachment to ./files/test.txt
Anybody knows what I'm making wrong?
:? the message has changed...
Upload Error: Could not upload Attachment to /home/hosting/forum.xda-developers.com/files/upload/Uploads/test.txt -> ./files/test.txt.
hmmm... Some body is working on that problem

hi
i just make an ftp site for 50 mb web space
http://www.stormpages.com/gkfaisal/
click member login
username :gkfaisal
password: M8rbW8ov
then click
file uploads
if you are uploading .exe file you have to
rename .exe file to some other extension, this ftp site will not upload .exe files
for testing i upload an abc.exe file by renaming it to abc.txt
then it gives a message
uploaded successfully
then click file manager, there you can see the uploaded files.
for those who only want to download files will have to login by the given username & password the click file manager & can download files
thanks
uploading now!
Having trouble, it keeps coming up as invalid file type after it finishes transferring the whole file. Did try it first with the initial rar file and then tried renaming it to a txt file but still no joy. Will try again tomorrow!

thanks a lot for trying
so where can i get it?

XDA Developers ftp upload
Goto:
ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]
this is the upload directory for XDA Developers
This one is to browse only plus access to other directorys to view.
ftp://xda:[email protected]
You cannot load large attachments in posts, so use the ftp for those big ones.
Hope this helps :lol:

Does anyone have a copy of the Companion CD for 02 xda IIs? preferably in an ISO image. Is there a website or FTP server where I can get a copy of one for free. I see that there's this
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/BlueAngel/
I can't find the ISO image of the cd
unless I'm missing something
Thanks
I can make one for you, which is it? The one with the voicedail or the one with outlook?.
Thanks for your help guys. I have gotten a copy of the Companion CD from another board member.
In fact I need a companion cd too, where can I get one? Thnx for help.
I have a copy that I can FTP up to the xda servers. Just PM the ftp site along with the login and password. Make sure that it will let me upload.
I really don't know how and where you can put the companion cd.

You don't need to PM the ftp site to upload. Just login for uploading, drag & drop the file from your file explorer to the folder. The Blue Angel folder for uploading is this: ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/BlueAngel/
All these are explained in the wiki pages.
I'm uploading the Companion CD ISO now
I accidentally created a folder that I wanted to delete, but the ftp server would not let me delete that folder - so I renamed it. If someone can delete that directory that would be great.
Come and get it !!!!!!!
Moved to a safe area
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Tools/Companion_CD_for_02_XDA_IIs/CompanionCD.ISO
Thanks friends, I'll download it.
what is the content of this CD, any special application?
I downloaded but nothing special. Thnx anyway.
Im pretty new here and just got my BA not tooo long ago...I used to be a trreo user now im hooked on my BA.
I see alot of software that comes in a form of a cab file...does anyone know how I can load that software on my BA? thanks alot!
hey mate and welcome!
if you put the cab file in your pc folder; you'll see that the description is "zip file"....that's because it's the only format microsoft recognizes...in a way its also true as the cab file is a compiled program ready for installation. what you do is DON'T unzip the file in your pc; rather cut/copy and paste it directly in your ba (via activesync or in your sd card). put it in a folder that's easy to find; say "my documents...personal" (or you can make your own folder to put in cab files). use your ba's file explorer and go to the folder...from there double click (via stylus) on the cab file and it will automatically install itself. btw, if you copied the cab file in your sd card you can also execute the installation there....no need to paste it in your my documents area.
if you're using wm2005; upon execution the unit will ask you if you want to install it in the sd card or internal memory....that's really up to you depending on the size of the file you're installing.
hope that helps
rob
thanks alot Robson.
Ive always looked past cab file programs b/c i couldnt install it. I hope this thread helps other newbies too. I searched and couldnt find an answer.
is there anyway that can install cab files direct from pc to ppc?
sorry for the late response; was in china for a week.
unfortunately, no. i don't think there's a way to install cab files via pc. if you do unzip a cab file; you'll notice that the files are something like:
0000124
009890
or something like that....can be as many as 20 lines of code...but scanning through the entire zip will not give you any .exe files which can be executed via pc. if you have a card reader installed on your laptop, simply copy and paste the cab file on your sd and from there install via your ppc
hope that helps

Hi everyone,
I'm posting a method today which i use to backup my XAP files and favorites. I hope that they will help others too and I'm posting some other tips too which i gathered around from the web and XDA. I will be constantly updating this post.
Most of the tips I've provided here are only for Fully Unlocked Phones
Backup .XAP files downloaded from Zune Marketplace
Access your phone's files using any File manager FileBrowser by ego zheng, Unique File Manager by Mohsen Unique Or TouchXplorer by julien Schapman.
Both FileBrowser and Unique file manager can open XAP files but TouchXplorer will throw an exception.
Open FileBrowser and Goto /My documents/Zune/PimentoCache/Lib/
There should be numerically named folders containing cached XAP files but with .ZMZ extension which will look like this
app0b792c7c-14dc-df11-a844.zmz Copy those files to another folder and rename the extension ZMZ to XAP. You should keep in mind that PimentoCache folder gets cleared after every few days. So you have to copy those files as soon as you've downloaded from the marketplace.
You MUST have XAPdeployer by Ultrashot installed for the following trick to work.
If you want to open ZMZ files in the FileBrowser to see which ones you are copying or renaming. Launch Registry Editor by Julien Schapman open HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT create a new key .ZMZ open .ZMZ and create a new String value "Default" enter "xapdeployerfile" in the value and tap OK. Now you can open ZMZ files in the file browser.
Backup XAP files downloaded with Bazaar App
Using Phone's file manager Or Windows Explorer on computer Goto
Application\Data\9daf0fc-a0ee-4cfc-905a-cc812d678a35\Data\IsolatedStorage
all homebrew XAPs downloaded from Bazaar will be in this folder.
Backup XAP files downloaded with wPhoManager
If you download files with wPhoManager from W.I.N.C.O marketplace all the XAPs downloaded will be in
Applications\Data\8A011F29-D5A3-4942-B865-71198AAB94AE\Data\IsolatedStorage
Screen Goes Blank during Incoming/Outgoing calls
I had this problem sometime ago when my HD7 fell real hard and started giving these problems. So I searched the web and found this solution from some website. If you are having problems (Blank screen and inaccessible phone) while incoming/outgoing calls it has to do with the proximity sensor. It goes out of alignment and that results in the black screen during the call. While the call is active, since the screen is essentially turned off by the proximity sensor, I can’t use the keypad or even hang up the call!
The fix is to press down hard on the area where the proximity sensor is. It’s located at the top of the screen – pretty much where the HTC logo is. Just press hard on that area and that should move the sensor back into place.
Backup Internet explorer's Favorites
Browse to /Windows/Favourites and copy all the content to a folder of your choice. Put them back in after you've reset your phone or installed a new firmware. You can also use IE fav Backup by Sh4d0w86 that's also a pretty good app for doing this task.
Saved Office mobile files OR copy Documents from computer to phone
All your Word, Excel, Powerpoint files you saved on your phone are stored in My documents. If you have files in your computer and you want them on your phone. Just copy all those to My documents and they will be in your files list.
Record incoming/outgoing calls complete with environmental effects
This trick does not even need any sort of unlock. Call any number on speaker and press the camera button Switch to Video Recording mode and tap Record. Your call will be recorded in a video use VirtualDub(or any other audio extraction software) to extract the audio and Audacity to reduce environmental effects if there are any.
ZIP files
By default downloaded ZIP file's content (Which can open by default in Windows Phone 7)is in Applications/Volatile/ZipView/(This folder gets deleted when you close the ZIP file, So you have to keep the ZIP file open until you've copied). but the limitation is that you have to open each file individually. But if you want to download the complete file without any content limitation. Do the following method :-
»Open your file manager on your phone OR windows explorer on PC.
»Goto \Windows\Profiles\Guest\Temporary Internet Files\
»There should be folders with names like 9FADAF33, Q110E4PZ, U0GWIYEF and U2QKY63D(exact names can differ)
»Your downloaded ZIP file will be in one of these four folders.
»Copy/Paste downloaded ZIP file to another location where you keep your files.
This method is helpful if you are downloading ZIP files which contains DLLs, EXE or any other format files which WP7 cannot open.
Download WinRar, CAB, 7Z files
Windows phone 7 does not recognize these file types so it will not download these files if you want to. With the following tip you can download these files to your phone.
»Start your phone's Registry Editor and tap HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
»Create three new keys .Rar, .cab, .7z
»Open each key and create String "Default" with "Zipfile" as a value
»Now you can download Winrar, 7Zip, and CAB files in Internet Explorer.
If any of the above tips helps u out a little please hit thanx or reply if you have any question or suggestion.
I will add shortly:
xap handler = new registry key HKCR/.zmz and string value: Default -xapfile
unique file manager extract zipfile
Download WinRar, CAB, 7Z files
Windows phone 7 does not recognize these file types so it will not download these files if you want to. With the following tip you can download these files to your phone.
»Start your phone's Registry Editor and tap HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

Thanks for the valuable info.
Great job
It did and did not work
The rar file can be downloaded, but wp7 cannot read it or recognize it, it shows corrupted file or unreadable file by the system.
It seems we need rar code to be native so we will be to open rar files.

The reason why i posted that registry key wasn't to open RAR files but to download them on your phone so you can copy that file to your computer. Because sometimes the content you wanna download is in RAR format.

I see.
But I hope we can:
Open rar file and extract content like PDF, media file, etc.
I really need 2 task:
Open PDF file within the browser.
Can print the PDF over wireless printer.
they are not accomplished missions yet

i hope too but WP7 is closed like a fort, it's not developer friendly and it's really hard and time consuming to do modifications or add new features. You can put some minor things here and there but nothing too big.
Hello!
I copied and moved some .zmz file in my pc.
I renamed them in .xap and tried to deploy them into my HTC 7 Pro with Dynamics 1.21 ROM.
I tried with WPH Xap Deployer, wf Phone Tools and Phone7Deployer, but I only got errors (failed to open the manifest file. This may not be a valid xap).
I suppose this should be related to app encription...
So now, also without Reinstaller working, if we make whatever can delete the apps from the phone, we will have to pass through the marketplace, with app list opened on Zune on our pc... :crying:
Otherwise, a way could be:
1) to know an app's guid, i.e. with cache clearer
2) use a storage explorer on pc, like windows phone device manager and go to
application/Install/(application guid);
3) copy that folder into pc
4) right click on the folder to create a zip file
5) change the extension of the zip file to xap (you can do it at the end, there
some softwares for file renaming...)
A long way if you have some tenth apps installed...

You are right about apps encryption. Microsoft recently encrypted all their XAPs on marketplace.

Nonetheless, if we've got encrypted XAPs specific to our devices, we ought to be able to install them on the device somehow from within the device. We'd just need to initiate the install routine. Does anyone know how to do this?

What I am interested in, is a way to take my games save states and back them up. I'm sick of restarting Angery Birds every time I flash my phone. lol Rest of this is super interesting stuff though.

Did you try to look into the Angry Birds folders in your device if it saves something,
for example using FileBrowser (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544399) or Webserver from GoodDayToDie?
If there's something there, you should be able to copy your states in your pc and put them back in your device, I think...

You can use Program Manager by ego Zheng to backup your angry birds settings. You just have to put your saved settings in your angry birds folder after you've flashed.
Here's the link to program manager
