Hello.
At first sorry for my language.
I have problem, after HR, Extended_rom aplication are not starting to install. I had unhide an extended rom folder and he is in main directory where is windows folder and program files folder(correct place for extended rom?? becouse I have heard thet should be in STORAGE).
Next I check how much take place and resco explorer show me only 0,9 MB.
When I enter in the folder I check a sum of all files and is above 15MB.
Yesterday I change a ROM on newer and I thought that extended rom also will be working after upgrade but he is not.
Any idea??
Cant you just go to the extended_rom and run all those .cab's from there?
No becouse show me that a each .*cab is not a Windows CE aplication or something.
I deleted eveything manualy except config.cfg and now I want to manualy copy all extended roms files in EXxtended_ROM folder but there is not inought space. I have less then 1MB. Enyone know how to change space Extended_ROM folder ??

Hi Folks,
i found a trick to make an autoinstall from strorage card (like from extended Rom)!
autorun.exe looks for the file config.txt on the place is in registry stored in:
"HKLM\Comm"
"AutoRunCFG" = "\Speicherkarte\Autoinstall\config.txt"
so i changed the registry entry and now i am able to put config.txt and the files to install on every place i want.
on windows Mobile 2003 devices this works wonderful!
on problem i have now with windows mobile 5 devices:
when installing a question appears where to store files (device or storage card)!
can anybody help me to get rid of this question during automatic cab install??
i want install all cab files to device without any questions!!
pbelcl: apologies for my ignorance, but is this very different to a 2577 folder?
with a 2577 cab we could use this info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=225375#225375
and choose a default install folder I think for WM5.

Thanks for your quick answer!
i read the other tread and if i understood it right i have to remove the .dll file from my cabs?
i'll try this and tell you if it worked ....
I think the other way round.
I've never done it before, but you need to make a custom cab and .inf file, and specify the installation location in therere, and then the "choose a location" dialog doesn't come up. I'm not sure, I'll try this at home later.

Thanks, that would be interesting for me because i cant generate cab files because i hav no developer software for this.
i also have access to a cab file manager (at a customer) where i can edit the cab files and change them as i need it.
if it is possible to generate an "empty" cab file for me that would be nice ....
pbelcl: I never use the cabwizard either, I use cab manager. To make an empty cab, take any normal cab (download one of mine?) and just remove all the files from it. That's what I always do!

ok, this is also my way to get an empty cab file
there is one question interesting:
Sometimes there is a "CheckFile.exe" and a "CeSetup.dll" in the cab file.
Do i need them for any work during install this cabfile or can i delete them also?
I remove everything from my cabs, and then use cab manager and drag and drop stuff. So I've never used those files. I will have to read up on how to make a "normal", but I don't think they're necessary if you didn't put them in there!

Hi folks,
again my last problem with automatic install on WM5 devices:
when my automatism starts to install the cab files (from where ever) each time there comes a popup windows where to install the cabfile (storage card or device).
for my routines it is not important becaue most of my cab files only set some registry keys and dont install files on the device!
Does anybody know how i can get rid of this window and install the files to device WITHOUT question popup window??
Hi,
I have a T-Mobile MDA Pro, and am not quite satisfied with the ROM they installed.
I want to try some different ROMs, like the O2 Exec, but I want to be able to go back to the original.
How can I create a back-up of the ROM, Extended ROM, and Radio ROM that I can put back at a later date ?
I've already seen grab_it by buzz, but that only makes a .bin file and I have no idea how to put that back if I ever want to revert to this state :/
Thank you,
TB
Please use the SEARCH button as this has been discussed already.
ANyway to help you do the following:
1. Download the latest T-Mobile ROM (the exe file) from the XDA Dev FTP site. Then extract this to a folder, say EXPERIMENT
2. Put the BIN file there
3. Go to Buzzdev.net nad follow the procedure to ENCODE/DECODE ROM. This will change the original nk.nbf (the OS) with your BIN file. using HTC64 Extended ROM Tool.exe
4. Then just put the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file into this directory also.
Now you have your OS backed up ready to install to a device in the EXPERIMENT directory. Now just make sure the T-Mobile ROM you downloaded has the same radio ROM. If not, download a verison with same radio rom and replace the radio_.nbf file with the downloaded version.
Backing up the ExtendedROm has to be done manually. Just transfer all contents to a alternate directory in the PC then just put it back to replace what's already there.
Hope this helps
What do you do with the dump.bin file though?
Rename it to nk.nbf
Ha - that didn't work.
Did you follow the ENCODE/DECODE procedure in BUZZ's site?

Jorgee,
What you mean with:
"Backing up the ExtendedROm has to be done manually. Just transfer all contents to a alternate directory in the PC then just put it back to replace what's already there"
- What is the PPC folder where I find the content of ExtendedROM?
- How I can trasfer to PC, with ActiveSync? Sometimes I received error messages like "unable to convert file format" or something like that...
- How I can transfer back, is not the ExtendedRom locked?
Let me know...
Luca
To view the Extended ROM, just install TOTAL COMMANDER for PPC
Then in the address bar, put : "\\EXTENDED_ROM" (without the quotes)
Then you will see the contents of extended ROM.
If you want, you can copy the contents of the Extended to your SD card instead so you don't have to connect to your PC.
To unlock your extended ROM (to change/delete/edit the stuff there) you need a certain file which is in the FTP under Uploads/Universal/Tools or something to that effect.

Hello Jorgee,
I've tried to install Total Commander on my v1640 but when I access \\EXTENDED_ROM nothing is shown...
What's missing?
Thanks

Jorge I found the mistake, \EXTENDED_ROM is with only one back slash and not with two.
Thank you very much for your help...
Hi all,
once i had proof how much MB the windows folder swallows, i wants to delete some unused files from it.
i.e. some sample movies i don't need....
BUT i cant if they are in ROM (TotalCommander>File Properties>"inRom" is set)
Is there a chance to dump them?
why?
the files in windows dir are in the part of the ROM! not ram
that you cant access apart from when you flash a rom on the device
if you could delete it it would not give you any more ram
or any more storage what so ever
it's kinda like trying to remove parts of ones pc's bios really
it dont serve any purpos
ah ok, thanks
i had fantasies about getting more storage memory
ok...

Hi
I wonder if somebody could give me some pointers on how to modify software installtion CAB's so that I can load them into extended ROM so that on a hard reset they automatically install & register..
For example SPB GPS monitor. I've downloaded the CAB and install file. I have installed it to my MDA,registered it and downloaded the tariff file.
Now, I can find the tariff registry file and update the CAB file (using WinCAB). Also, I can search for the registration files in the registry an add those to the CAB file.
But how do I automatically install to the device or storage card without having to specify?? Has anybody customised the install CAB's???
Cheers
John
Well for doing this u must do the following:
1) unhide the extended_rom
2) unlock it
3) view it with a third party program
4) copy into it the .cab u want
5) edit config.txt in extended_rom so it will run the .cab u want.
But the most important thing u must do.... it took me 2 days to find it out and over 20 hard reset... is to first run a .cab file that it will disable the wm5 security. When u install a program not to ask u if it is not authorized.
That is it...
I cannot find a working cab to disable the WM5 security.
Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks for that. But I have no problem with modifying the extended ROM. What I wanted to know was is there a way that when a CAB file is run from extended ROM it will be installed to the device/Storage card and be registered, withour having to enter anything during installation.
I guess I could look for the Registry entries and make those into a CAB file, I wondered if the program installation CAB could be mofified in any way??
Cheers
Ody
it seems that i asked this b4....
but i still have problems...
the scenario now is
1. i put autorun.exe and config.exe in "/storage card/essential/" folder
2. i put cabs into that folder
3. i edit the config.txt so that it points to these cabs
......but above did not work. nothing happen when clicking autorun.exe
did i miss something??
or the cab has to be remake?
those cab are just normal cab that ask where to install.
one more thing, can CPY function work with "*.*" command or does it support copying folders?
Hi,
There is already a thread on this topic.
Look here.

i have read this thread
but i m not making a ext rom now....
i wanna run the autorun.exe on SD card instead of extrom
actually i just want to make a batch installer not ext rom
could anyone help help on this?
Just make a shortcut to the autorun.exe on the SD card, and put it in Windows\Startup folder. BUT, make sure you delete it after it runs, or remove the SD card before rebooting, or you will have multiple installs...
@drummer10630
coz i put all the cad and sutorun.exe in SD card
is that mean autorun.exe cannot run manually?
I never tried it, but are there any disadvantages to the method I suggested?
i just tried it..but it dosent work
..wondering if autorun can only be executed in extrom
hi
any news? i have the same problem/
thanks
