Need to extract a Cab from a WM5 ROM - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Any idea?
Did a quick search and didn't find it...

if you mean an installed program in the rom
then one have to collect all the files required to run
and put them in a cab file onceselfs
if it's some sort of extended rom auto install then the
extended rom needs to be unlock and unhidden and
one can copy the cab out

The Rom is:
JAMin_ESP_2130924_21309117_020720_ship.exe
and I want one of the applications inside, a game I couldn't find anywhere else and my girlfriend loves it.

automatic install without hacking rom!

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??

Installing software from Extended ROM

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

Extended ROM and the Cab file

I have a Cab file to change the hardware keyboad in the registry [HKLM/SOFTWARE/OEM/Qwerty].
Ok, I have unlocket the Extended ROM (with the ExtROM_Utility.exe) and copy this Cab file, that I have, in the Extended-ROM.
Only one problem I have now, if I copy the Cab file into Extended-ROM and make a reset or hardreset, doas delete it the Cab file simply.
Can someone say me which I can do that to prevent?
Each assistance is welcome, thanks a lot.
Greets Danny.
I found a good and function way to make.

I keep a backup copy of all of the executables I run from my Ext Rom in a subdirectory of my SD card. I make the backup before I upgrade and then copy them back to the Ext ROM after a hard reset and unlocking it.
The alternative is to make sure you don't upgrade the ext ROM when you upgrade the ROM. There are three upgrade files in a full upgrade:
nk.nbf - this is the O/S part of the ROM
radio.nbf - this is the Radio ROM
ms.nbf - this is the replacement Extended ROM
If you don't upgrade the Extended ROM (i.e. delete the ms.nbf from the upgrade sub-directory), your extended ROM will be preserved after the upgrade and hard reset. All you will have to do is unlock it. Just make sure you use an unlocking utility that doesn't erase the Extended ROM (i.e. not the one supplied by Jwright). There is one somewhere on the forum. Also, bear in mind that if you don't upgrade the extended ROM, you will lose the benefits of any EXTENDED ROM the ROM upgrade includes.
Looking -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=251951&highlight=Extended+Rom+cooking
I make that and goes genial.
But I take not the "uni_extrom_unlocker.cab", I take the "ExtROM_Utility.exe".

New to Modding Can't Get .cab files to load

Hi,
I am very new to modding phones and such. I have an unlocked dash and I am trying to install programs like the jogger modify. When I download the zip it gives me an xml file and cab files but I can't seem to figure out how to get this installed. When i try to open the files on the phone it tells me that i need to run that file with the program. I am going nuts. I am running WM6 T-mobile rom. I hope you can be patient and walk me through this.
Thanks

Where do I put the .cab's that I want to be autoinstalled on custom ROM?

I'm a little new to this but I'm not TOTALLY new. I've flashed other people's ROMS before but never have I done my own. I've downloaded everything that the creator of "Pandora Naked 9b1 w/Big Storage - WM6.1" stated that I would need. But where do I put the cabs that I would like to be installed automatically? Also, if one of my desired programs is a .exe file that I have to install off of my computer, can this be automated somehow or will that have to be done old fashion way -- by me? Thanks for any help you can provide and I'm sorry if this is the wrong thread to post this issue in...
the cabs can be automatically installed if you put them on the root of your storage card the create a config.txt to instruct it to install them do so. it will then install them like the ext rom when you turn on for the first time
Actually you'll want to name the file SDConfig.txt
Search the kitchen for a file called "PreConfig.txt"
Hopefully that get's you pointed in the right direction.
